Rose and Gun Episode 29 Recap
> Rose and Gun Recap
Following Wu Si’s capture, Zong Qing led his special operations team under the cover of night to assault a Blue Team camp. They swiftly neutralized the defending soldiers, but the camp was a decoy; the Blue Team’s commander and command vehicle were missing. As the Blue Team began to encircle them, Zong Qing ordered his team to abandon their vehicles and retreat. With the 48-hour exercise concluding at noon the next day, time was running out.
Despite extensive drone reconnaissance, there was no sign of the command vehicle, heightening the team's anxiety. Zong Qing urged them to remain calm, reminding them of the vast, jungle-covered island. Meanwhile, Wu Si and Dai Wei, another captured teammate, feigned an emergency, with Wu Si claiming he needed life-saving medication. When a Blue Team soldier approached with pills and water, Wu Si seized the opportunity to overpower his captors.
Once free, Wu Si and Dai Wei sent new coordinates to Zong Qing, reporting they were closing in on the Blue Team's high command and directing the team to rendezvous with them after a 20-kilometer forced march. Tang Xin was celebrating her birthday at home with her parents. Her father playfully teased her about wanting presents as an adult, saying he was saving his gifts for his future grandchildren.
The celebration was interrupted by a call from Tang Xin’s colleague, Hai, who reported that Han Yuhang had sent a full set of new photography equipment to their company as a lavish birthday gift. Hai explained they had to accept it as it was delivered directly to the reception. Tang Xin’s parents grew concerned, worrying about how this would look to Wu Si and the potential for rumors.
Tang Xin reassured them that she had no romantic interest in Han Yuhang and that they were merely friends. Acting on the intelligence from Wu Si and Dai Wei, Zong Qing’s team converged on the Blue Team's true location. As Zong Qing’s unit launched an external assault to create a diversion, Wu Si, who had infiltrated the enemy camp, successfully located and apprehended the Blue Team's commander from within.
With the "decapitation" mission a success, the Red forces were ordered to launch a full-scale offensive on L Island, swiftly securing victory. Following the exercise, Wu Si’s squad regrouped, with all members accounted for, and were ordered to rest while on standby. Sometime later, Han Yuhang visited Tang Xin at her company, announcing in person that Changzhou Group had completed its restructuring and he had been appointed the new Chairman.
He reiterated his offer to help her with anything she needed. Tang Xin used the opportunity to ask about his father, Han Zhangzhou, and brother, Han Yutian. Han Yuhang vaguely stated they had "stepped back," assuring her that the new Changzhou Group would be transparent and free from corruption. Shortly after, a colleague named Chen Yue distributed wedding sweets.
Tang Xin asked her for advice on wedding planning, and Chen Yue, noting Tang Xin might be getting married soon herself, offered to share her wedding planner’s contact information, advising her to start preparations early. Immediately after the exercise, Wu Si’s unit received an urgent combat assignment. Two marines on D Island had been attacked by unidentified armed individuals, prompting headquarters to order a shift to Level One combat readiness.
Wu Si’s team was dispatched to investigate, with authorization to engage. They were warned this mission against separatist elements was far more dangerous than any exercise. The team located and assaulted the hostile camp. As Wu Si and Cheng Yuan led the charge, an enemy fired a rocket, striking and critically wounding them and other teammates. In the chaos, Zong Qing pursued and captured a fleeing combatant but was cut by the man’s knife during the struggle.
The captive then revealed he had HIV. Officer Wang informed Zong Qing he must take post-exposure medication within 72 hours and maintain a safe distance from others pending test results. Cheng Yuan was rushed to the hospital where surgeons removed five shrapnel fragments from his brain. However, two smaller fragments remained, which would press on his optic nerve, causing progressive and irreversible vision loss.
Later, Tang Xin called Zong Qing, who lied about his whereabouts to avoid worrying her, confirming they won the exercise but ending the call abruptly by claiming he had to assemble for a briefing, which left her concerned. On her father's birthday, Tang Xin surprised her parents by announcing that Wu Si had proposed to her before his deployment. Her father was visibly moved, feigning a need to go for a walk to hide his tears of joy.
Meanwhile, Han Yuhang discovered that his father and brother had not retired but had relocated to Rome. There, Han Zhangzhou told an associate, Mr. William, that he had left the domestic business to Han Yuhang to focus on his "hobbies." During a discussion about a slow-moving shipwreck recovery, Han Yutian aggressively demanded a larger profit share. Han Zhangzhou quickly intervened, smoothing things over with William and underscoring their continued involvement in the illicit sale of salvaged artifacts.
After the mission, Wu Si returned to base, and news of his and Tang Xin's engagement spread among her friends and colleagues. Her father proudly boasted about his future son-in-law to his friends, claiming Wu Si had bought him a new jacket, a detail Tang Xin playfully corrected, revealing she was the one who bought it. Meanwhile, Zong Qing waited for Lan Yangyang at the hospital while she finished a surgery.
She found him asleep and was touched, but then noticed a bandage on his hand. He dismissed it as a minor exercise injury and refused to let her examine it. At Tang Xin's office, her superior, Mr. Tian, discreetly asked about her relationship with her navy boyfriend. Upon learning that marriage was imminent, he gathered their colleagues to secretly plan a surprise engagement party for her.
