Rose and Gun Episode 4 Recap
> Rose and Gun Recap
Yi Nanwang expressed his disappointment in his marksmanship, feeling like the worst soldier Wu Si had trained. He greatly admired Sergeant Cheng, an ace sniper in the special operations brigade. Wu Si reassured Yi Nanwang, telling him he wasn't bad, just not in the right position, and reminded him that Cheng Yuan hadn't started out as a marksman either but earned his skill step by step.
Wu Si revealed that Sergeant Cheng had high praise for Yi Nanwang's awareness, reaction, and information-gathering abilities, noting they surpassed others on the team, but pointed out Yi Nanwang needed to be more steady. Motivated by this, Yi Nanwang declared his determination to stay in the Blue Blade and become an ace sniper like Sergeant Cheng.
Wu Si acknowledged his resolve but emphasized the need for strength and continuous learning to address weaknesses and build on strengths, highlighting the importance of steadiness in the person, the gun, and the mind. Yi Nanwang dedicated himself to training, improving significantly with the help of others. He worked on various skills, including underwater exercises, crawling, and shooting drills, pushing himself constantly.
During one training session, he successfully took down Squad Leader Dai in a combat drill, surprising Wu Si with his unexpected improvement. Wu Si noted that Yi Nanwang's progress was faster than anticipated, praising his diligence and natural talent. Despite his hard work, Yi Nanwang still needed to refine his skills, particularly his speed in certain exercises, as noted by Wu Si during a slow-moving drill.
Meanwhile, Tang Xin, with assistance from Han Yuhang, returned to the location of the sunken ship. Han Yuhang arranged for experienced divers to help search the seabed. Tang Xin had received approval to interview Wu Si regarding the Dayan Reef rescue but Wu Si was reluctant to meet her or reveal his role in the rescue. After a prolonged search, Tang Xin and the divers found no trace of a sunken ship at the provided coordinates.
Tang Xin grew anxious, but Han Yuhang suggested the location might be wrong and they decided to move further. Still finding nothing, Tang Xin contacted her anonymous source via email. The source, also puzzled by her lack of discovery, suspected her boat might have been anchored incorrectly and sent a new set of coordinates. Observing the different coordinates, Tang Xin was suspicious and asked for clarification.
The source insisted the new coordinates were the same as the previous ones, leading Tang Xin to believe her computer had been compromised and the coordinates altered. She established a new contact method with the source, recommending they also switch emails for security. Tang Xin suggested meeting the source to investigate the perpetrators of the illegal salvage, but the source was afraid of the people behind it and refused to appear.
Instead, Tang Xin asked for any information about the group involved. The source could only reveal that the group started as fishermen but had rapidly developed into a large enterprise group. Tang Xin arrived at the military base for her approved interview and was met by Instructor Liu Shihua, Wu Si, and Cheng Yuan.
During the interview, Tang Xin tried to ask core questions related to the rescue operation and the team's duties, but Wu Si obstructed her efforts, citing confidentiality and refusing individual interviews. Tang Xin, frustrated by Wu Si's lack of cooperation, directly asked who saved her during the Dayan Reef incident. Wu Si remained silent and did not admit to being the rescuer, deflecting the question to Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan, seeing Wu Si's reluctance, stated he needed to get permission from the person involved before answering. Tang Xin understood and left, requesting permission to visit the military camp for a broader interview, which required higher-level approval. Wu Si reported Tang Xin's request to the brigadier, who advised sending a reply welcoming her visit but arranging a more suitable interviewee due to the team's training schedule.
Tang Xin, needing to find a way to get information about the rescue since her interview at the base was unsuccessful, asked her friend Lan Yangyang to arrange a meeting with Zong Qing, believing an interview with a single team member might yield results. Unexpectedly, Wu Si also showed up at the meeting. Wu Si had anticipated Tang Xin would inquire about the rescue and had already instructed Zong Qing on what to say.
Lan Yangyang teased Tang Xin about Wu Si's appearance. Tang Xin expressed her frustration with Wu Si, describing him as unyielding and difficult to get information from, comparing herself to a corrosive substance trying to break him down. Wu Si, upon hearing this, pointed out Tang Xin's persistence despite her assessment of him.
Tang Xin attempted to get Wu Si to leave so she could speak to Zong Qing alone, but Wu Si insisted on staying, stating he needed to observe Zong Qing's blind date and ensure military secrets weren't revealed. When Tang Xin asked when he would leave, Wu Si replied he would leave when she did. Zong Qing, caught in the middle, asked what they should do, and Wu Si told him they were free to do as they pleased.
