Rose and Gun Episode 20 Recap
> Rose and Gun Recap
My friend, William, arrived and was welcomed. He immediately got to the point, explaining that his exploration team had found some artifacts and were now locating the sunken ship they came from. He was confident they would find the ship soon, suggesting it would lead to a large profit, which was met with enthusiasm. They agreed that once the ship's location was confirmed, salvage operations would begin immediately, sealing the deal.
Later, someone reported to Han Yuhang about the Atocha Company investigation, confirming it was a partnership between several foreigners and one Chinese person. However, due to the local registration system, they couldn't identify the Chinese individual involved. Han Yuhang thanked them for their help and asked to be notified of any further information.
Reflecting on Tang Xin following his father and brother from China to Roman and her interest in Atocha Company, Han Yuhang expressed concern to his subordinate that she might make discoveries, though accessing direct information from his father would be difficult for her. He worried that Tang Xin's continued close observation of his father and brother would eventually lead to her being discovered by them.
He instructed his subordinate to keep a close eye on Tang Xin and report to him immediately if his father or brother found out about her activities. Tang Xin sent photos of Han Changzhou meeting with foreigners in Roman to Bai Zijian, asking him to forward them to the police to see if any valuable clues could be found.
Han Yuhang's father and Han Changzhou discussed the news that the Cultural Relics Bureau had formed an underwater archaeology team and begun exploring the Dayan Reef area, where they had previously operated. They noted that even though they had abandoned a certain ship there, the archaeologists would realize it had been tampered with and report it to the police. The father cautioned Han Changzhou to be more careful.
They then discussed Han Yuhang's arrival in Roman and his stay at their hotel, expressing suspicion about his true purpose there. Han Yuhang met with Han Changzhou and their father. Han Changzhou questioned why Han Yuhang hadn't informed them of his arrival. Han Yuhang explained he was there on business but also admitted he came with Tang Xin, saying he was mainly focused on business but would spend some time with her.
They discussed the father's plan to establish an offshore fishing hub in Roman. Han Yuhang offered to stay permanently to help manage it since he had free time, but his father and brother dismissed the idea, saying he wouldn't understand the business and suggesting he return home once he finished his leisure activities in Roman, as someone needed to be at the company headquarters.
After Han Yuhang left, the father reiterated his suspicion about Tang Xin and felt she knew a lot about them. He suggested they needed to come up with a solution, pondering if they should "settle her here." Han Changzhou objected, pointing out their presence in Roman was traceable and if anything happened to her, they would be the main suspects, especially if she had informed others about her investigation.
They decided against drastic measures for now, agreeing to find another way to control her. Meanwhile, Lan Yangyang received distressing news from a doctor regarding her prenatal screening, which indicated a high risk for fetal abnormalities, possibly Down syndrome. The doctor explained the meaning of "high risk" and suggested further diagnostic tests like amniocentesis or non-invasive DNA to confirm any chromosomal abnormalities. If confirmed as Down syndrome in early pregnancy, the doctor advised considering termination.
Visibly upset, Lan Yangyang later told her mother she wanted to meet a friend from medical school who worked nearby, politely refusing her mother's offer to accompany her and asking for directions to schedule an amniocentesis. Alone, she looked at her phone, scrolling through chat logs with Zong Qing, which were full of messages she had sent him, with no replies, highlighting the lack of communication due to his mission at sea.
On the ship, the escort fleet celebrated postponed birthdays. The brigadier announced that birthday sailors could use the commanding officer's cabin to call home. It was mentioned that Yi Nanwang was at his promotion ceremony to become a sergeant and would be called to have longevity noodles and join future group birthday celebrations. Sailors recorded video messages for their families back home. Tang Xin was at a bar and ordered a California Sunset cocktail. Soon after, she felt unwell.
Two men helped her, one on each side, guiding her away as she seemed disoriented. Han Yuhang witnessed this and quickly followed them discreetly, making a phone call to arrange for a car to pick him up at the hotel's back door immediately. Back with the Han family, William received expert confirmation that the porcelain artifact was from the Song Dynasty's official kiln and highly valuable.
He was excited to learn it was found near the sunken ship's area and speculated it might have fallen off during the sinking, suggesting the ship likely contained many more such items. Han Changzhou's father spoke separately with someone, confirming Tang Xin had been controlled and was being held at a temporary location. He was assured she was being watched carefully, although she was heavily drugged and would sleep longer.
He stated firmly that he did not want this person to return to China. Tang Xin woke up to find herself tied up. She saw Han Yuhang was also tied up nearby. He told her they were on a cargo ship that seemed to be heading overseas. He explained that he had tried to save her when she was drugged and kidnapped but got caught in the process. He identified their captor as merely a guard. Tang Xin, realizing he had followed her to Roman, questioned his true intentions.
