Hua Zhen met Deng Mingyuan for the last time and also resolved his doubts. His teacher was still as upright as when they first met. In class, Deng Mingyuan said he was ready to fight at any time for the prosperity of the motherland. Now Hua Zhen knew that his teacher had never left the battlefield, upholding his beliefs alone, and willing to sacrifice everything for the country. How great this was.

Hua Zhen's older brother returned home and told their father about the news released within the KMT today. Chairman Chiang was prepared for the sixth encirclement and suppression campaign against the Communist Party. For them, with the Japanese and puppet forces currently running rampant, not fighting the Japanese but being busy with domestic anti-communist campaigns was indeed somewhat a waste of time. Hua Zhen and Duoci Meng looked at a poem left by Deng Mingyuan for Hua Zhen.

On the surface, the meaning of this line was for the welfare of the nation, but Hua Zhen knew his teacher would not emphasize this line of poetry to him without reason. Just then, a letter was slipped under the door. The letter told him to go to No. 6 Xinping Road, which might provide answers. Following the address, Hua Zhen found a letter left by Deng Mingyuan for him.

Deng Mingyuan had secretly asked the underground party to relay it to him, explaining the secret behind asking Hua Zhen to deliver boat tickets to the Meng couple. The Meng couple had always been gathering businessmen and patriots from the patriotic committee. They secretly supported the front lines with the funds they raised, silently contributing to national unity.

Now, the last sum of money raised by the Meng couple had begun to circulate and would become a powerful bullet to drive out the Japanese and puppet forces. In the letter, Deng Mingyuan told Hua Zhen that one day, Hua Zhen would understand his choice. The place Hua Zhen arrived at was an orphanage. Many children there were descendants of revolutionary soldiers who had sacrificed themselves.

Heroes shed their blood and sacrificed their lives on the front lines, yet the Party had not forgotten them. They protected their children and would nurture these sparks of revolution into pillars of society. Deng Mingyuan was taken back to Nanjing and executed by firing squad. The underground party comrade hidden among them was very sad and couldn't help but shed tears while unlocking Deng Mingyuan's handcuffs. Deng Mingyuan gently held his hands to comfort him.

After Hua Zhen left Chen Hao's home, Chen Hao would think of the days spent with Deng Mingyuan and Hua Zhen every time he returned home. Upon hearing the news of the teacher's execution, he could no longer hold back his tears.

The Japanese person Chen Hao had caught earlier was originally sentenced to extradition back to his country, but he was still not giving up and continued to escape from the ship, wanting to chase after the funds raised by the Meng couple and also continue to look for Duoci Meng. However, this Japanese person was discovered by Hua Zhen, who was hiding in the dark, just after getting off the ship. Such an atrocious crime by the Japanese pirate!

Hua Zhen personally shot and killed this bandit. Chen Hao returned home and found his cherished firearm missing. He guessed it must be Hua Zhen. Soon after, he finally found Hua Zhen on the deck, immediately grabbed his hand, and helped him escape. Late at night, Hua Zhen took out the last letter left by Teacher Deng Mingyuan for him. The teacher's firm belief and revolutionary will had deeply influenced him.

Lighting the letter, Hua Zhen now had the answer in his heart. Chen Hao advised him to go home early and erase everything that had happened here. Feng Guangyun and Secretary-General Guo were summoned by Naoki Satomi. The body of the shot Japanese person was found, and the Japanese were very indignant, forcing Feng Guangyun to immediately find the suspect. In front of the Japanese, Feng Guangyun bowed and scraped, looking completely like a traitorous lackey.

After returning from the Japanese, Secretary-General Guo told Feng Guangyun not to take the Japanese people's words too seriously. They were currently just accumulating capital and were just like reeds swaying in the wind. As long as they didn't offend the Japanese, it was fine; anything that would affect their career interests was out of the question. The Police Department of the French Concession also wrote a letter of commendation to Secretary-General Guo, praising them for catching the murderer. For this, Secretary-General Guo ordered Chen Hao's reinstatement to his official position.
