Chen Hao clearly remembered that when Shi Junyu gave him that photo, the intended target had a scar on the back of his hand. To further verify, Chen Hao deliberately hid in the restroom and finally waited for Hua Liang to also enter the restroom. He quickly pretended to wash his face. After a while, Hua Liang also came out to wash his hands.

Chen Hao clearly saw that there was indeed a scar on the back of Hua Liang's hand, exactly the same as in the photo. The situation was urgent. Chen Hao immediately contacted Shi Junyu and after reporting what he had just confirmed, Chen Hao proposed that he must immediately take Reporter Peng's wife out.

Because Hua Liang would soon know that Reporter Peng's wife was being protected by his brother at the Jiangnan Shipyard, and to clear his brother of suspicion, he would definitely bring Reporter Peng's wife out immediately. Therefore, it was essential to take Reporter Peng's wife away before Hua Liang could arrive. Chen Hao carried the pistol Shi Junyu had given him and also brought a pre-prepared identification document. He entered the hospital as quickly as possible.

While looking for Reporter Peng's wife's room, he saw Hua Zhen. Hua Zhen found it strange to see Chen Hao mixed in there and asked him what he intended to do. Chen Hao refused to answer, merely stating that if he still trusted him, please let him take Reporter Peng's wife away. Hua Zhen didn't know Chen Hao's true identity and didn't agree.

Returning to the ward, Hua Zhen asked Reporter Peng's wife what exactly her husband Peng Ganwen had done recently. Reporter Peng's wife said that before Reporter Peng disappeared, her husband had taken many photos. Only one photo contained people: the Japanese man Naoki Satomi and a back view. The back of this man had a scar on his arm, which looked very much like the letter "Y". Reporter Peng's wife even remembered which hand had the scar on the back.

Hua Zhen was secretly shocked. This person was clearly his brother Hua Liang. No wonder Chen Hao had remained silent just now; in fact, he knew everything. Chen Hao stole a white coat to disguise himself as a doctor and asked the nurse to push Reporter Peng's wife to another ward for examination. After exchanging signals with Reporter Peng's wife, she agreed to escape immediately.

As the two were preparing to leave through the back door, Hua Zhen and Luo Minmin caught up. Their eyes met. Luo Minmin asked him if he had understood Reporter Peng's background before joining the Sixteenth District Branch. Chen Hao didn't respond. Seeing that Hua Liang was about to catch up, Hua Zhen ultimately quietly gave the green light, allowing Chen Hao to take Reporter Peng's wife and escape.

Hua Liang heard from Naoki Satomi that Hua Zhen had rescued Reporter Peng's wife. He was already surprised, but when he rushed to retrieve her, he found she had just disappeared, which was simply too much of a coincidence. Hua Liang pressed Hua Zhen, asking how he knew Reporter Peng's wife and brought her to the hospital.

Hua Zhen downplayed the situation, simply stating that he went to the old site of the Fourth Department to look for a friend, encountered the ailing Reporter Peng's wife, and brought her for treatment out of sympathy. Hua Liang believed him. That night, Hua Liang went to see Naoki Satomi. The photos Reporter Peng had taken that day were precisely evidence of the Kuomintang smuggling military supplies to the Japanese side.

The boxes inside those ships had tea on the surface, but in reality, they were all filled with military equipment. High-level officials within the Kuomintang worried that once the news got out, the public knowing that Qixiang Domestic Goods Joint Operation Company was smuggling military supplies to the Japanese military would certainly cause an uproar. Shanghai Police and Hongji Shantang would both be unable to escape blame for this matter.

Naoki Satomi immediately guaranteed that the supplies would be safely delivered to Japan and the news would be suppressed. Originally, Hua Liang intended to end it there, but unexpectedly, the Japanese were fixated on Hua Zhen's matter, asking Hua Liang if he had asked Hua Zhen why he brought that woman to the hospital. Hua Liang saw the strong suspicion in the Japanese's eyes.

He solemnly reminded Naoki Satomi that he was currently busy working towards the completion of the transaction, yet they were ungrateful, which was truly excessive. Naoki Satomi knew that Hua Liang held a high position and was not someone to provoke. He immediately said it was merely a family matter. Hua Liang worried they might act against his brother without authorization and reminded them again that everything concerning Hua Zhen must, and can only, be handled by him.
