Rose and Gun Episode 27 Recap
> Rose and Gun Recap
During a meal, team members Zong Qing and Yi Nanwang discussed Cheng Yuan, who was troubled by his girlfriend Wu Ke'er's desire for him to leave the military. They noted that Wu Ke'er had even enlisted herself because of Cheng Yuan, but the long distance had only worsened their relationship, leading her to now pressure him to retire.
Cheng Yuan was questioning everything and felt guilty, but his teammates believed he would not quit, acknowledging the difficulty of balancing love and career. Later, Tang Xin's father visited her in the hospital. He expressed his worry but also his frustration that she constantly got into trouble, questioning why she entangled herself with kidnappers. Tang Xin retorted that she was the one who had been kidnapped.
He continued to scold her for her attitude, prompting Wu Si, who was also present, to try and mediate. Tang Xin's father asked Wu Si to lecture her, but Wu Si, stating Tang Xin only listened to their captain, quickly excused himself. Left alone, her father's demeanor softened, and despite their continued banter, he showed deep concern for her well-being by checking on her injuries. Cheng Yuan confided in Wu Si about his history with Wu Ke'er.
They had planned to attend the same university, but he decided to enlist. Wu Ke'er went to college alone, waiting for his return. However, Cheng Yuan fell in love with military life and stayed. Unable to endure the long-distance relationship, Wu Ke'er impulsively joined the army, believing they would be closer. To her dismay, their units were in different locations, making it even harder for them to see each other.
Cheng Yuan expressed his guilt for not having given her anything during their nearly ten-year relationship. Wu Si advised him that he needed to give her a clear answer and warned him not to hurt her, as she had already sacrificed a lot. Meanwhile, Han Zhangzhou and Han Yutian, who had fled abroad, observed the calm situation back home.
Han Yutian noted that the police had not visited their company, leading them to conclude that Xu Genshui likely possessed no substantial evidence against them. Han Yutian expressed a desire to return to China, but Han Zhangzhou preferred to wait and observe further. Wu Ke'er had an interview for a position in the Anesthesiology Department.
The director, the same doctor who had performed a previous surgery on Lin Lan, noted her lack of practical experience and gave her a written test covering epidural anesthesia procedures and complications. Wu Ke'er later called Cheng Yuan, excitedly reporting that she had answered all the questions and felt the interview went smoothly. The military command issued a new winter combat training plan.
This intensive training would deploy the Marine Corps to a southern training base thousands of kilometers away, signifying their evolution into an elite force capable of long-distance missions in diverse environments. The plan included joint training with other branches and live combat exercises against a mechanized infantry brigade. Brigadier Wang urged his soldiers to bring their best gear and demonstrate their dominance. Lan Weiguo shared his ideas for improving aiming stability on moving platforms, drawing inspiration from camera stabilizers.
Brigadier Wang then instructed Lan Weiguo to pause their work and accompany him to the hospital to visit Wang Chen, telling him to bring their captain along. Upon his return to the country, Han Zhangzhou called a family meeting that included Han Yuhang. Han Yuhang immediately confronted his father and brother, revealing he knew they had returned the previous day and suspected they were conspiring against him.
He declared he possessed video evidence of Han Yutian planning the entire operation to kidnap Tang Xin in Roman. While tolerant of their "dirty money," Han Yuhang stated he could not accept attempted murder. He accused his father of owning the Atocha Company, which his father confirmed, explaining that he and Han Yutian had kept Han Yuhang out of their dangerous business to protect him.
Han Yuhang countered that if they truly cared, they should withdraw from Changzhou Group and let him restructure it into a clean enterprise. Han Yutian resisted, dismissing his brother’s idealism, but Han Yuhang argued they had enough money for generations and should retire. Han Zhangzhou then agreed with Han Yuhang, proposing they both move overseas and leave the company to him. Despite Han Yutian’s objections, Han Zhangzhou declared his decision was final.
At the hospital, Brigadier Wang, accompanied by Wang Chen's husband Zijian, visited Wang Chen and commended her miraculous recovery. He assured her that Blue Blade would always have a place for her if she desired to return, dispelling her fears of holding the team back. Zong Qing and Cheng Yuan also offered encouragement. Brigadier Wang informed Wang Chen that she met the discharge criteria and could go home, tasking Zijian and his family with continuing her rehabilitation.
Wu Si called Tang Xin to apologize, explaining he couldn't pick her up from the hospital because he had to lead his team on an urgent mission. Tang Xin told him he didn't need to explain. Wu Si shared the good news about Wang Chen's excellent rehabilitation progress, hoping she would soon return to Blue Blade.
Tang Xin, however, questioned this, highlighting Wang Chen's painful recovery and how remarkable it was for her to return to a normal person's physical level. She argued that Wang Chen, as a woman with a family, should not feel pressured to return to the front line by others' expectations but should have the right to choose her own life. Wu Si acknowledged her point, and Tang Xin suggested he visit Wang Chen before his deployment.
Cheng Yuan and Yi Nanwang also visited Wang Chen, congratulating her on her upcoming discharge. Cheng Yuan reminded Wang Chen that she was Yi Nanwang's role model and recalled how she had advised Yi Nanwang to train progressively to preserve his body, urging her to follow her own advice. They bid her farewell, as they too were departing for the mission. Later, Wang Chen's mother picked her up from the hospital.
At home, her mother and husband, Zijian, had set up rehabilitation equipment, assuring her it would be more comfortable than the hospital. Wang Chen and Zijian playfully referred to the equipment as a "big toy," indicating their acceptance of the new normal. As Tang Xin was driving home after her discharge, Zong Qing called, mysteriously asking her to meet him and Cheng Yuan at an address for a matter that couldn't be discussed over the phone.
Puzzled, Tang Xin tried calling Wu Si, but he didn't answer. She proceeded to the address, which turned out to be a homestay. There, she found Zong Qing and Cheng Yuan struggling to set up a romantic display. Wu Si then appeared and proposed to Tang Xin. He expressed his constant longing for her, apologizing for not having a ring due to the rush and offering a bouquet as a token, promising to return before the flowers wilted.
He solemnly vowed that although he was in uniform and couldn't kneel, he would protect her and their home with the same loyalty he held for his country. Touched, Tang Xin asked about the sudden proposal, and Wu Si replied that he could no longer wait and desired a home where she would always be waiting for him. Zong Qing and Cheng Yuan, needing to return to their unit, interrupted, encouraging Tang Xin to say yes.
Tang Xin told Wu Si she couldn't give him an answer immediately, asking him to return safely from the military exercise, at which point she would reply. Wu Si accepted, promising to wait. Tang Xin then changed his contact name in her phone to "Fiancée?" , implicitly accepting his proposal.
