Wengou overheard Janic and Father Peter Hong conversing in the confession room, but couldn't understand the foreign language. Yang Zhen, realizing this, urged Wengou and Can Yanxin to return and report to Chongliming. Elsewhere, the North-South peace talks formally commenced, with A Yi and Zhou Jue accompanying Mr. Su, while Chongliming escorted De Qi to the agreed location. Chongliming and A Yi briefly met, exchanging only nods before the initial round of talks concluded unsatisfactorily.

Mr. Leon's associates attempted to coerce Janic into leaving Shanghai due to the city's instability. Janic adamantly refused, declaring his love for China and asserting that his Keliline drug test reports were legitimate, having followed all proper procedures. He informed them he had already dismissed previous investigators and believed he was protected within the concession, where they wouldn't dare to touch him. Leon's men advised him to reconsider for his own good.

Yang Zhen then provided Chongliming with a detailed assessment of Trinity Church, a place Janic frequented for confession. Yang Zhen explained that its location outside the concession, combined with its isolated surroundings and distance from the patrol room, made it ideal for an operation. He described the confession room as a "little black house" and noted Janic's consistent 8 AM visits, a time with minimal foot traffic, as well as a convenient side exit for escape.

Yang Zhen revealed his personal connection to the church, having lived in its orphanage as a child, and confirmed his acquaintance with Father Peter Hong. Chongliming initially considered enlisting Peter Hong's help for Janic's capture. However, Yang Zhen cautioned against this, revealing Peter Hong's ties to the Green Gang and his association with William from the Far East Company, which made Yang Zhen reluctant to participate in the capture directly.

Chongliming understood, then instructed Can Yanxin and his brothers to subdue Father Peter Hong and impersonate him in the confession room, ready to apprehend Janic upon his arrival. Chongliming, Yu Chu, and Yang Zhen would maintain outside surveillance on Janic. Later that night, Leon's agent, Da Qiao, forcibly abducted Janic.

Da Qiao subtly threatened Janic's son, Tom, by revealing intimate knowledge of his life and studies, warning Janic that if he did not return home, Leon's "rude" killers might cause harm. He gave Janic a boat ticket, effectively coercing him to leave Shanghai. William later ordered his men to ensure Janic's departure. The next morning, Chongliming, Yu Chu, and Yang Zhen staked out Janic's residence.

They observed Janic leaving with a large suitcase, prompting them to follow, believing he intended to flee and hide the Keliline report. Simultaneously, Wengou and Can Yanxin infiltrated Trinity Church. Wengou, feigning confession to Father Peter Hong, vaguely admitted to an impending "kidnapping" to "borrow clothes," dismissing the priest's pleas to stop. He and Can Yanxin then subdued the priest and took his place in the confession room.

Chongliming, Yu Chu, and Yang Zhen trailed Janic to the dock, where he settled into a nearby coffee shop. The trio discreetly entered. Yang Zhen, pretending to grab a sugar shaker from Janic's table, deftly stole his boat ticket. Realizing Janic was indeed attempting to flee and with only an hour until his ship's departure, Chongliming dispatched Yang Zhen to the church to alert Can Yanxin and Wengou.

Yang Zhen arrived at the church and relayed the urgent message to Can Yanxin and Wengou, who had been growing anxious due to Janic's delay. Janic soon discovered his ticket was missing and frantically searched for it. Yu Chu emerged, holding the ticket, and confronted him, urging him to stay and clarify the truth about Keliline. Suddenly, assassins hidden in the coffee shop opened fire, reinforced by Da Qiao's arrival. Chongliming bravely covered Yu Chu and Janic as they fled.

Yu Chu quickly concealed Janic in a cabinet, intending to divert the pursuers, but Da Qiao and his men swiftly located them. Janic, terrified, desperately tried to evade capture while Da Qiao restrained Yu Chu. Chongliming arrived just in time, instructing Yu Chu to protect Janic while he dealt with the assailants. Janic fled to the street but was shot multiple times by the relentless killers. Yu Chu, chasing after him, pushed a nearby handcart to his side.

With his last breaths, Janic gasped that the crucial drug test report was located "in the clinic," adding that his internal organs had been shot through. As Chongliming emerged from the coffee shop, Yu Chu spotted Da Qiao aiming his gun at Chongliming from a second-story window. Without hesitation, she threw herself in front of Chongliming, taking the bullet. Before losing consciousness, she faintly uttered, "the report is in the clinic."

Wengou swiftly arrived in a vehicle, and Chongliming, overwhelmed with grief and determination, carried Yu Chu towards Shengxin Hospital, a concession hospital. Yang Zhen, Si San, and Wagner provided covering fire for their escape. Wengou drove the car directly through the hospital gates, frantically demanding immediate medical attention. The hospital staff initially refused to treat Chinese patients, ordering them to leave, citing the hospital's concession status.

Enraged, Wengou drew his gun and threatened them, compelling the doctors to immediately begin surgery for Yu Chu. Chongliming pleaded with the doctors to save Yu Chu. The doctor confirmed no internal organ damage or significant bleeding, but the bullet remained lodged inside, posing a risk due to its unknown position near arteries or nerves. The doctor then forcibly removed a distraught Chongliming, whose hands were covered in Yu Chu’s blood, from the operating room.

As Si San and Wagner arrived, Can Yanxin expressed concern about the patrol room's impending arrival, urging Chongliming to temporarily withdraw. Can Yanxin argued that the patrol would not harm Yu Chu as she was an injured party. Chongliming staunchly refused to leave Yu Chu, closing his mouth and remaining silent. Seeing his unwavering resolve, the others pledged to stay and fight alongside him.

Chongliming then assigned Wengou and Si San to secure the hospital gates, Wagner to a rooftop lookout, and Yang Zhen to remain with him, declaring they would "make a big scene." As Yu Chu’s surgery commenced and the doctor called for plasma due to a ruptured blood vessel, Wengou and Si San fortified the hospital entrance, clearing non-essential personnel. Soon after, Da Qiao arrived with patrol officers. Chongliming sternly warned them, declaring, "Whoever enters the gate dies."

Da Qiao, undeterred, questioned Chongliming's resolve to hold the entire hospital hostage merely to save Yu Chu, and warned him that he was "dead this time" for causing such a disturbance. Ignoring the warning, Da Qiao advanced towards the entrance. Chongliming shot him in the head, stating it was "for Yu Chu," and Da Qiao fell lifeless. Terrified, Inspector Huang and the remaining patrol officers recoiled, acknowledging Chongliming's reiterated threat.

Chongliming, wishing to spare his brothers from the consequences of his actions, urged Can Yanxin to lead the others away, especially while the external forces were still manageable and they could still break out. However, Can Yanxin vehemently refused to abandon his comrades, insisting they would stand and fight together, reminding Chongliming that Yu Chu was both his beloved and their comrade.

Can Yanxin then proposed seeking assistance from Prince De Qi, arguing that as a Qing Dynasty representative, the Prince could not ignore the escalating crisis. De Qi, having been informed about Chongliming’s actions—killing Da Qiao, injuring others, and holding Shengxin Hospital hostage due to Yu Chu's injury—initially expressed frustration, recalling his prior warnings to Chongliming not to investigate Keliline or offend foreigners.

He deemed Chongliming's predicament self-inflicted and claimed he lacked the authority to mobilize the new army, which was no longer under imperial control. However, Can Yanxin convinced him by cautioning that Chongliming, if pushed to extremes and acting recklessly, could cause a bloodbath in the concession, leading to an international conflict that would devastate the ongoing peace talks. De Qi reluctantly agreed to intervene.

Separately, Mr. Su received a phone call from a newspaper friend, learning that Chongliming had killed a foreigner in the concession, was holding Shengxin Hospital, and was in a standoff with the patrol. A Yi, shocked and refusing to believe Chongliming would take innocent hostages, insisted there must be a reason and asked Mr. Su to confirm the details, saying his brother wouldn't do such a thing.

Motivated by loyalty, A Yi rallied his troops, declaring Chongliming a national hero who was being unjustly framed and cornered by foreigners. Despite Zhou Jue's urgent warnings about the severe diplomatic repercussions—such as an international conflict that could endanger lives and the nation's future if the Southern government openly confronted foreigners over Chongliming's actions in the concession—A Yi remained resolute.

He stated this was his personal action, and he would bear all consequences, inviting those willing to save Chongliming to follow him. Meanwhile, Mr. Leon arrived at Shengxin Hospital with the patrol, attempting to negotiate with Chongliming and offering leniency if he released the hostages. Chongliming scornfully rejected Leon's authority, dismissing him as "unqualified" to negotiate despite his position at the General Administration of Customs, and ordered him to leave.

Mary then arrived, asserting she knew Chongliming better and could talk to him, but as she attempted to enter, Wagner, positioned on the hospital roof, fired a warning shot to deter her.
