Rose and Gun Episode 34 (Ending) Recap
> Rose and Gun Recap
Based on reconnaissance, a joint military and police command finalizes their plan to assault the island. The intelligence reports approximately thirty mercenaries: two at an outpost, at least six guarding the caves, a four-man patrol rotating every two hours, and the remaining twenty concentrated in the left cave, which serves as their camp and likely storage for cultural relics. The right cave is identified as the residence for Han Changzhou, his son Han Yutian, and William.
Drone footage reveals dense vegetation inland, offering excellent concealment. Wu Si and Deputy Commander Liu agree that a daytime operation is preferable, as their preparedness gives them an advantage despite the jungle. The plan is to covertly neutralize the outposts to reduce pressure on the main assault on the caves, with the operation set for ten o'clock. Meanwhile, after failing to find the boats and warehouses his father requested, Han Yuhang discovers a hidden compartment in the company's finance department.
Inside are numerous cultural relics, believed to be those the former chairman failed to take with him. Elsewhere on the island, Han Changzhou and William observe their mercenaries, with William noting some are in poor condition and are being sent for intensive strengthening exercises. The operation begins with SWAT teams successfully landing on the island, sabotaging the suspects' rubber boats, and linking up with the Blue Blade unit after neutralizing the outposts.
The mercenaries are taken by surprise when the joint force storms the caves. During the chaos, Han Changzhou, Han Yutian, and William flee through a hidden tunnel; Han Changzhou has to forcibly pull his reluctant son away, who wanted to grab some of the valuables before escaping. A command center drone locates the trio on the island's west side, where they regroup with eight or nine more mercenaries.
William confidently assures the Hans that his remaining men can ensure their escape. However, Wu Si's team, anticipating their escape route, has already set up an ambush ahead of them. After a brief firefight, Wu Si's forces overwhelm the mercenaries and successfully capture the three main culprits: Han Changzhou, Han Yutian, and William. Police, accompanied by a press team including Tang Xin, wait at a safe distance.
Once the all-clear is given, they are permitted to land and film the aftermath. Tang Xin, noticing the Marine Corps gear, soon encounters Wu Si. In the following days, news breaks about the city's Public Security Bureau cracking the major cultural relic smuggling case, implicating Han Changzhou and Han Yutian. Wracked with guilt, Han Yuhang contacts Tang Xin for a meeting.
He reveals the hidden compartment in the company finance room and its contents, showing her photos of the relics and documents. He asks for her help in turning everything over to the authorities, hoping this act of cooperation might lessen the sentences for his father and brother. In a lighter moment, Tang Xin's father is caught faking a deep clean of the house to impress Wu Si’s mother, who is visiting for the Chinese New Year.
His ruse is exposed when an employee from the housekeeping service he and Tang Xin hired returns to retrieve forgotten gloves, much to Tang Xin's embarrassment. Brigadier Wang, enjoying a walk with his wife and child, receives an urgent work call and apologetically departs. Having had time to reflect, Wang Chen decides to start a new chapter, officially beginning her life as a retired veteran.
Wu Si reports to the Brigadier, who, after briefly discussing the tough selection for the tri-service competition, assigns Blue Blade a new mission: a South China Sea patrol and maritime resupply training exercise. Wu Si is instructed to prepare his team to depart immediately. On a sun-drenched beach, a joyous wedding ceremony unfolds.
Among the guests are Wang Chen and Bai Zijian with their baby daughter, Luoluo, as well as Cheng Yuan and Qiu Xiao, who announce their own wedding is coming soon. After four navy sailors place a veil on her head, Tang Xin, radiant in her wedding dress, is escorted down the aisle by her father, Tang Yuanchao, a retired Navy veteran. The Brigadier proudly officiates the ceremony.
Wu Si’s mother gives a heartfelt speech, calling Wu Si her life's most beautiful gift and thanking Tang Xin for choosing to be a soldier's wife. Tang Yuanchao, equally emotional, describes Tang Xin as the best and most beautiful medal he has ever received, entrusting her care to Wu Si. Wu Si and Tang Xin then exchange vows. Wu Si reaffirms his unwavering love, telling her that if he had another lifetime, he would want to spend it with her.
Tang Xin joyfully accepts her new title as a "military wife," promising to accompany Wu Si through all of life's challenges and to always love, support, and watch over him. As they exchange rings, the Brigadier offers a final blessing for their happiness, the nation's prosperity, and a future where families remain united.
Wu Si and Tang Xin share a loving embrace, declaring their love for one another as the blue and white décor around them symbolizes their vows to each other and the Navy's promise to the nation.
