Hua Zhen finally returned safely to Nanjing. Sitting in an exquisite small car, he returned quickly and smoothly all the way to his long-separated home. The house steward opened the door for them early, and the servants were busy repairing the nursery and cooking delicious dishes, a scene of peace and harmony. However, this time, Hua Zhen's mood upon returning was completely different from before. The dining table was dull.

Hua Zhen's mother fed back to him the news she had just learned—originally Hua Zhen had passed the elite class examination, but recently he was eliminated during the political review stage. The elite class was a training class personally designated by Chairman Jiang, which placed special emphasis on political review, and any individual suspected of being connected with the underground party would not be accepted. His parents did not criticize Hua Zhen excessively.

Hua Liang persuaded his younger brother not to be impatient, to wait for this tense moment to pass, and then arrange for him to be the "second officer" in the fleet. This time, Hua Zhen did not agree. He retorted, asking Hua Liang what would happen to the "second officer" who was replaced. This question left Hua Liang speechless. Hua Zhen did not want to snatch away other people's opportunities. His father was very dissatisfied with his son's resistance.

He frankly stated that he heard from his elders, "Never snatch away someone else's opportunity, because it changes more than just one person's destiny. " However, in his view, opportunities are for those who can seize them, and only bad luck causes people to fall into difficulty. As soon as his father finished speaking, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point again. Hua Zhen was least willing to discuss his ideals and views with his father.

Finally, Hua Zhen changed into his school uniform, preparing to return to school. Hua Liang drove him and incidentally mentioned Hua Zhen's arranged marriage prospect, a girl from Ginling College for Women who was excellent in character and appearance, especially her father, Deputy Dean Jia. During the period when Hua Zhen was framed by Wei Daiqing, Father Luo had contacted Deputy Dean Jia, and both families approved of this marriage.

Hua Zhen refused to go on the arranged meeting, making the excuse that he had face blindness and was not good at communication. Chen Hao received a signal and met with Shi Junyu again. This time Shi Junyu received a new mission from the organization to investigate whether Feng Guangyun was closely connected with the Japanese. Originally someone personally took a photo and also went to the Sixteen Pu Wharf several times.

This reporter Peng was a member of the National Salvation Association, and the location of his disappearance was at the Sixteen Pu Wharf. Now the organization specially arranged Chen Hao to be at the Sixteen District Branch so that he could conveniently approach Feng Guangyun and thereby investigate the missing reporter Peng. Not long after, during Hua Zhen's shift, he happened to encounter the report filed by the wife of reporter Peng, also known as Peng Ganwen's wife.

Peng Ganwen's wife said that her husband had been missing for half a month. Chen Hao heard Hua Zhen's transcript and asked him to hand this case over to him to be responsible for. Chen Hao and Shi Junyu always met in the garden. In order not to attract attention, Shi Junyu gave Chen Hao some tuition fees so that he could attend a French training class on weekends.

Because Shi Junyu worked part-time as a French teacher at a church, if Chen Hao were a French student, they would have an opportunity to meet openly. Hua Zhen returned to school and started writing letters to Luo Minmin. He wrote one letter after another, but these letters were like stones sinking into the sea, there was no news at all. Hua Zhen also kept calling the Fourth Department but couldn't get through.

He seemed to have become deaf and mute, completely losing contact with Luo Minmin. In fact, the letters Hua Zhen wrote to Luo Minmin were all withheld by the person responsible for mail at the school. It was instructed by Hua Liang. Just as Hua Zhen was falling into unrequited love and being distracted every day, the school assigned him a new task: to go to Shanghai to receive torpedo boats.

Hua Zhen was just worried about not having a chance to go to Shanghai, so he readily accepted the task. As soon as Hua Zhen arrived at the wharf, he met Tian Dongbao, a police officer from the former Fourth Department. Tian Dongbao told him that shortly after Hua Zhen left the Fourth Department, the leadership of the Public Security Branch conducted a reform, and the entire Fourth Department was disbanded.

Now everyone has returned home, and he is also doing manual labor at the wharf. Tian Dongbao also invited Hua Zhen to his home tonight, and at that time, he would call together other comrades from the Fourth Department for a meal.
