After careful analysis, Tan Yaoheng concluded that the Japanese deliberately framed the situation because he found that one of the diners at the table was a chef, so he had reason to suspect that the Japanese chef was interested in Guangzhou Restaurant and would use this method to rob. Chen Shanhe learned that Chen Wei had been arrested and hurried to Liao Siliu. He learned that Chen Wei was found guilty and that if he wanted to escape the crime, he would have to rely on Japanese connections. Liao Siliu promised to give it a try.
Although the deceased's external identity was a newly recruited translator in the later period of the Fifth Division, he was actually a poor Chinese man captured by Kazuo Okada from the street. To him, it was not surprising that a Chinese person died, and he reminded Ozawa Kotaro not to Softhearted. Liao Siliu then took a few gold bars and returned them to Chen Shanhe to show him the Japanese intentions. Chen Shanhe could only look to Song Shilian to find a way, but Song Shilian was also powerless.
After Song Shilian's reminder, Chen Shanhe thought that the only person who could help was Ruan Feizhou. That night, Jin Huirong said that she would personally find a way to carry out the rescue, but was rejected by Chen Shanhe. He knew very well that the Japanese were ruthless and warned Jin Huirong to take care of his sister for him.
Early the next morning, Chen Shanhe contacted Ruan Feizhou, but his conditions were also very clear. He needed Chen Shanhe to be used for his own purposes and to jointly praise the friendship between Japan and China. This was nothing more than making Chen Shanhe a traitor. Facing the conditions proposed by Ruan Feizhou, Chen Shanhe promised that he would do anything as long as he kept his second brother safe.
At the same time, Jin Huirong and his comrades discussed contacting chambers of commerce in various industries to jointly strike and demonstrate collectively against the Japanese. Subsequently, the underground party of the Communist Party of China carried out various forms of anti-Japanese activities in Guangzhou, established various anti-Japanese organizations, printed, posted, and distributed anti-Japanese leaflets to boost the morale of the people. During the seven years when the Japanese army occupied Guangzhou, the anti-Japanese activities led by the underground party of the Communist Party of China never stopped.
Chen Shanhe considered that they had become the target of the Japanese and planned to take him and Chen Lixia to leave Guangzhou when his brother was released, but Chen Lixia was unwilling to leave Jin Huirong. At this time, the Red Fish Gang received a notice calling on all dock workers to go on strike in support of the strike organized by the teahouse and restaurant trade unions.
As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in uproar. Chen Shanhe realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ran out to check. The next day, Ruan Feizhou also received news of strikes in many industries across the city. Liao Siliu came to the place where Chen Wei and Tan Yaoheng were imprisoned, forcing them to hand over the Guangzhou Grand Restaurant, and said that Chen Shanhe had chosen to surrender to the enemy and treason in order to save them.
On the other hand, Ruan Feizhou doubted Chen Shanhe's sincerity and said that he was already saving people. The next step would be to see Chen Shanhe's performance. However, Chen Wei did not want his eldest brother to be a traitor, and promised Liao Siliu that he would give the Japanese the right to use the Guangzhou Restaurant. If the owner came back, he would return it to him, and he would also retain all the employees.
After Chen Wei came out, he went to Guangzhou Restaurant to say goodbye to everyone. Even though he felt reluctant to leave, he knew that this place no longer belonged to him. Witnessed by Liao Siliu and others, Chen Wei signed an agreement with Ozawa Kotaro. Tan Yaowen sat aside and watched this scene, feeling very uncomfortable. Chen Wei emphasized that this was not something he took the initiative to do to the Japanese, but was purely a trick by the Japanese. He was forced to do so by force, and then left the Guangdong Restaurant with the plaque.
The Japanese were hunting the Communists, causing Jin Huirong to be injured, which made Chen Lixia very worried. Jin Huirong revealed to Chen Lixia that she could no longer appear in public. If she had anything to do, she would come to see him at the agreed place. Ruan Feizhou proposed that if the Japanese wanted to do medicinal materials business in China, they needed to find a reputable person to take the lead. They identified Chen Shanhe and plotted how to force Chen Shanhe to join the "Greater East Asia Medical Promotion Committee."
Because of this, Ruan Feizhou, San Guoyouxi and others decided to start with Chen Shanhe's western medicine business. Chen Shanhe found Song Shilian alone and persuaded Song Shilian to stop the Western medicine business first. However, Song Shilian took into account that his brothers needed to support their families and refused to give up this way of making money. The next day, the police station and the customs anti-smuggling team killed several smuggling criminals. Among the corpses was Song Shilian. Chen Shanhe endured his grief and returned home to develop explosives. He pushed the excrement bucket into Sanguo Youxi's medicine shop at night and blew it up. Destroy it and worship your brother’s spirit in heaven.
