> Rose and Gun Recap
During a sea training session aimed at preparing special forces members for escort duties, Yi Nanwang experienced seasickness and vomited. Hearing the noise, the Brigadier immediately questioned Wu Si about it. The Brigadier expressed his extreme disappointment, stating that a Marine Corps special forces member becoming seasick would significantly impact future combat operations. He stripped Yi Nanwang of his arm badge, telling him he would only be qualified to wear it again after overcoming his difficulties.
The Brigadier also removed Wu Si's arm badge, holding him responsible as Yi Nanwang's captain. The Brigadier warned all the soldiers that while anyone else might falter, they, as special forces, could not, and threatened anyone who became seasick again with swimming back to base. Later, Wu Si began targeted training with Yi Nanwang to help him overcome his seasickness.
He took Yi Nanwang to the highest point on the ship, explaining that it was the most unstable spot and everyone had to overcome the rocking. Wu Si reassured Yi Nanwang, telling him he had never been a disappointment and urging him not to give up on himself. Yi Nanwang vowed to earn both their armbands back quickly. Lan Yangyang returned to her parents' home.
While she felt a sense of loneliness being home alone, she understood her husband Zong Qing's duty as a soldier on the escort mission. Greeting her mother warmly, she playfully hugged her and shared the news of her pregnancy. She told her parents she had decided to have the child. Her parents were overjoyed and prepared many nutritious meals for her, emphasizing the importance of her health.
Her mother reminded her to be careful and slow in everything now that she was expecting, especially with Zong Qing away, and to let them know if she needed anything. Lan Yangyang assured them she would be careful and understood Zong Qing's military duty. Her mother also confirmed that Lan Yangyang had already registered at the hospital and made an appointment for her prenatal checkup, offering to accompany her.
Tang Xin arrived in Roman with her assistant, Hai, and checked into a hotel. They went to observe the Atocha company building, but found the door continuously closed and no sign of anyone entering for two days. Hai expressed disappointment and suggested the company might have gone out of business, having found no clues. Tang Xin agreed it didn't look like a typical company but decided to wait longer.
Wu Si continued training Yi Nanwang, using various methods to help him overcome seasickness and dizziness, including exercises involving walking in a straight line while spinning. Wu Si pushed him to keep going, emphasizing that as a special forces soldier, he was capable. After days of observing the Atocha company with no results, Tang Xin emailed the informant who had provided the lead.
The informant replied, stating that a "bigwig" would be arriving soon and typically stayed at the high-end Aston Hotel in Roman. Tang Xin found the informant's indirectness frustrating but noted their timely information, prompting her to wonder about their identity and access to such details. Deciding to act on the tip, Tang Xin and Hai moved to the Aston Hotel. Unbeknownst to Tang Xin, Han Yuhang had also been following her.
Upon learning she had moved to the Aston Hotel, which he noted was the most expensive and exclusive hotel in Roman, he was puzzled but also checked in there secretly with his assistant, taking precautions not to be discovered by Tang Xin. Through continued effort and training, including the specific exercises with Wu Si, Yi Nanwang successfully overcame his seasickness. He reported to the Brigadier, confidently stating that he no longer got seasick.
He first asked for Captain Wu Si's armband back, then his own. The Brigadier returned their armbands, sternly warning them not to become arrogant and reminding them of the consequences if they faltered again. With the training complete, all the special forces members were deemed fit for the Gulf of Aden escort mission. The escort fleet prepared for departure. Fleet Commander Xu Jianhua and Political Commissar Song Guoqing oversaw the preparations.
The Brigadier addressed the soldiers, emphasizing that they represented the Chinese military and Navy, and expressed his expectation for their safe return. The order was given to board the ship and set sail. As they departed, Wu Si took a moment to look back. Later at the Aston Hotel, Han Yuhang's father, the Chairman, and his brother, Mr. Yutian, arrived and checked in. Han Yuhang's assistant spotted them in the lobby.
Han Yuhang realized that his father and brother were the "bigwig" the informant had mentioned and understood why Tang Xin had moved to the Aston Hotel. He instructed his assistant to be even more cautious when going out to avoid being seen by Tang Xin. Tang Xin, also learning that Han Yuhang's father and brother had arrived at the Aston Hotel, realized that the important target she was waiting for had finally arrived.
Eager to investigate, Tang Xin and Hai went down to the lobby to observe the Chairman and Mr. Yutian from a distance. Hai asked about their room number, but Tang Xin only knew they had gone up to the 41st floor.
