Dark Night and Dawn Episode 27 Recap
> Dark Night and Dawn Recap
As soon as Xu Wei left, Liu Guihang ordered Little Four to kill Lin Shaobai. Little Four knew his own limitations; he was no match for Xu Wei's men. Liu Guihang was frustrated by his lack of progress and could only instruct him to sell off the remaining sand-mixed rice and cotton at a low price.
Xu Wei reported to Shrike that Liu Guihang had mixed sand and grain into the rice and cotton provided by Jin Maochang as a cover, keeping some of the rice and cotton to sell for personal gain. It was precisely by following this clue that Lin Shaobai discovered their secret. Shrike immediately ordered him to find someone to install fuses on every incendiary bomb in the government supply warehouse and ignite them before the new government was founded.
As for Lin Shaobai, Shrike ordered Xu Wei to eliminate him and bid farewell to the past. Xu Wei agreed, but every step he took as he turned to leave was heavy as iron. Soon, the spies disguised themselves as coal union members and entered the government supply warehouse under the pretext of needing to pick up a batch of supplies to celebrate the founding ceremony. They quickly installed fuses on every incendiary bomb hidden within the supplies.
On the other side, Old Hu handed the note to Old Lu. This matter was currently only known to Old Lu, Old Hu, and Li Yaohong. Old Lu immediately ordered action to intercept and capture the group of spies who were about to leave. Shrike's objective was straightforward: to use the incendiary bombs to turn the government supply warehouse into a sea of fire.
The fire would spread with the wind to the dock, turning Shanghai into a hellish inferno of fire. The police pigeon Dabai flew to the warehouse. Lin Shaobai whistled to attract it, took out a pen and a note to send a message, writing down the eight characters "Old Taihu Factory, Changjiang Warehouse" and sending it out. Xu Wei bought the Four Heavenly Kings for Lin Shaobai.
Lin Shaobai ate as usual and returned the amulet he had picked up before to Xu Wei, but Xu Wei no longer believed in it. He felt it was better to rely on oneself than to pray to Buddha. Lin Shaobai disagreed and argued with him. Their brotherhood had crumbled due to their differing values.
Lin Shaobai directly pointed out that Xu Wei had many choices back then, and his wife and child were just excuses for his pursuit of power. But no matter what he said, Xu Wei was stubborn, believing that everything he did was correct, including killing Lin Shaobai. When Xu Wei pulled out his gun to kill Lin Shaobai, gunshots were heard from outside. Lin Shaobai, with quick reflexes, flipped the table and knocked Xu Wei's gun away.
The former brothers became enemies, engaged in a life-and-death struggle. Xu Wei beat Lin Shaobai until his head bled, but before he could kill him, Old Lu drove into the warehouse door, rescuing Lin Shaobai. Xu Wei had already hidden upstairs and threw down explosives. The warehouse instantly turned into a sea of fire. Li Yaohong pushed Old Lu and Lin Shaobai into the water, allowing them to escape death.
And before this, Old Lu had already had someone remove the detonators from all the incendiary bombs, and all supplies were well-protected. The police pigeon Dabai risked its life to deliver the message back, allowing Old Lu to bring people to rescue Shaobai in time. Shaobai buried Dabai and saluted Dabai together with Old Lu. Zheng Lanting met Mao Sen on an island in Zhoushan.
Mao Sen did not blame Lanting for the failure of this mission, and he himself was also transferred. He held a negative attitude towards the future situation, but Zheng Lanting felt there was still a chance. A meeting was held at the bureau to summarize. Since the great success of the last mission, prices in Shanghai had stabilized. The common people were able to buy cheap rice and flour.
Old Huang's breakfast shop reopened, and things were much cheaper than before. Li Yaohong was discharged from the hospital after recovering, and he was welcomed by everyone. He said directly that he was the great hero who saved the two "troublemakers" of Office Two. Lin Shaobai was transferred back to Office Two from the police pigeon division. He was quite reluctant to leave the police pigeon division. Old Jin returned to his office, suspecting that Shrike had placed a mole close to him.
