Professor Zhang Pingbo of National Tsinghua University stopped Bi Yunxiao and told him that Zhao Zhongyao had already thought of another way to take out the radium and told them to leave quickly. The two turned back the same way, but they didn't expect the Japanese army to find their car, so they had to abandon the car and run away. Pei Yuanzhi and Fang Yuerong took four students to Cangzhou in a carriage. The bumpy journey made Lin Huajun and Ye Runqing miserable. Director Cao led the Japanese army Matsuda Yuichi into Cheng's yard, and mentioned that someone drove into Tsinghua Park last night and stole Tsinghua's important school property. The Japanese army took this as a threat, and they wanted Cheng Daoxiang to take the lead in resuming production, otherwise, once this matter was investigated, the Japanese army would never let it go.
More than an hour later, Fang Yuerong took them to the liaison station, greeted the person in charge Wang Ping, and finally had a place to stay. Cheng Jiashu and Bi Yunxiao ran to the rendezvous hotel in a daze, met Pei Yuanzhi, and Pei Yuanzhi brought them back to the contact point. The two were exhausted all the way, so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs, and then they ate hungrily. Cheng Jiashu had a cut on his arm and clothes, which was the mark left by the Japanese soldiers shooting at him. Although he was almost shot, Cheng Jiashu was obviously not afraid. Wen Yiduo, a professor of the Chinese Department of National Tsinghua University in Wuhan, Hubei, did not want to stay here to work. He decided to go to Changsha. Although his wife Gao Xiaozhen disagreed, she could not change her husband's decision.
Cheng Jiashu had only been away from home for a day, and he was homesick. He was worried that his recklessness would bring trouble to his family, his cousin Fang Yuerong reassured him not to worry. Wen Yiduo hugged and bid farewell to the two children, they were all in tears. Both the Cheng family's spinning and woolen mills were occupied by the Japanese army, and the workers were forced to return to work. Not only that, the Japanese army also forcibly occupied the Cheng family compound and ordered the Cheng family to move out. The Japanese army set up many checkpoints. Fang Yuerong asked the students to take a small path to Baoding Railway Station. At this time, the Japanese army had not yet reached there. Zheng Tianting told the children to live a good life in Beiping. The eldest sister remembered to go to the home of Teacher Shaou in the same city every month to collect living expenses, and he was going south to Changsha to teach.
On August 13, 1937, the Battle of Songhu broke out. With the support of sea and air firepower, the Japanese invaders launched a fierce attack on Shanghai, and countless people were displaced. Cheng Jiashu and his classmates took a train in disguise and went south to Changsha to continue their studies. At Ye Runming's suggestion, the group first settled in Ye's house in Wuhan. The Ye family has been in business for generations and has accumulated a lot of capital. They are well-known for doing banking business in Wuhan. Father Ye already knew about his daughter Nankai's distress, so he thanked Cheng Jiashu and Lin Huajun for saving Ye Runqing's life. At the dinner table, Mother Ye suggested that Mother Lin come to Wuhan, but Lin Huajun declined. Ye Runqing brought up the matter of engagement, and seeing that Lin Huajun didn't really want to talk about this topic, Ye Runming brought it up.
Later, Mother Ye gave her son the engagement ring that she had with Father Ye. As for when he would give it to Lin Huajun, it all depended on Ye Runming's personal opinion. Father Ye asked his son about his plans for the future. He wanted the bank to help his son after graduation. Although Ye Runming hadn't figured out what he would do after graduation, he knew that he didn't want to go into business, but wanted to find a way to change his destiny. The way to save the country. Father Ye was very helpless. He was worried that the children would be in danger, but he couldn't change the children's mind. Lin Huajun was thinking about the conversation at the dinner table today, when Ye Runming knocked on her door.
