> War of Faith Recap
Lin Qiaosong came to the prison cell and announced that Wei Ruolai was acquitted and released. Wei Ruolai thought he would never get out in this life, but he didn't expect to escape death. Lin Qiaosong prepared a table of food for him, and Wei Ruolai ate heartily. Lin Qiaosong desperately tried to please Wei Ruolai, hoping Wei Ruolai wouldn't resent him. Wei Ruolai warned him not to harm Shen Tunan again, otherwise he would fight him to the end.
Wei Ruolai was cleared of suspicion. Zhang Mingquan, Yu Shiqing, and Kang Shaojie were at a loss, feeling anxious. They had originally planned to use this case to bring down Shen Tunan and completely destroy the tariff reform he was promoting, but failed at the last hurdle. Kang Shaojie sent Lin Qiaosong to bribe William, but he didn't even get to see William.
Yu Shiqing knew this case had alarmed the high-level officials in the Nanjing government, and he was also helpless. Shen Tunan brought the Central Bank's legal advisor Yao Gengming to confront Kang Shaojie. Yao Gengming brought the case file for Wei Ruolai's case and ordered Kang Shaojie to release the person as soon as possible. Kang Shaojie made various excuses to evade. Shen Tunan had already obtained the special investigation team's final verdict that Wei Ruolai was acquitted and released.
Shen Tunan gave him an ultimatum, threatening to hold a press conference to expose their crimes. Kang Shaojie had no choice but to make concessions. Wei Ruolai was acquitted and released, and Shen Tunan and Shen Jinzhen came to the prison to pick him up, wanting to welcome him back and cleanse his bad luck. Unexpectedly, Lin Qiaosong had treated him to a big meal. Shen Tunan vowed to get revenge on those who framed him.
He took Wei Ruolai to the hospital to treat his injuries and reminded Wei Ruolai to protect himself well in the future and not to act on his own. Su Cishu hosted a banquet to entertain Wei Ruolai. Xiao Yuer called Wei Ruolai "uncle-in-law", and Wei Ruolai blushed profusely with embarrassment. Shen Tunan reminded Shen Jinzhen to drink less, lest she get drunk and flip the table. Su Cishu quickly helped Shen Jinzhen out of the situation.
Wei Ruolai saw their family laughing and talking, and felt deeply warm in his heart. After the meal, Shen Jinzhen played a piece of music, and Wei Ruolai was deeply attracted by her music. Shen Jinzhen was very concerned about Wei Ruolai's injuries. Learning that Wei Ruolai's new suit had been torn to shreds by torture instruments, she promised to take him to get a few more suits made. Kang Shaojie was completely defeated in Wei Ruolai's case.
He vented all his anger on Lin Qiaosong. He violently beat Lin Qiaosong, complaining that he shouldn't have handed over the bullet. Lin Qiaosong, instead, reminded him to look out for himself, otherwise, he would die a miserable death. Wei Ruolai returned to Qibao Street. The neighbors, having believed the newspaper reports, thought Wei Ruolai had committed murder and colluded with communists, and shunned him. Wen Youtian saw him return safely and excitedly hugged him tightly, not letting go.
Aunt Zhou asked Wei Ruolai to step over a brazier to drive away all bad luck. Wei Ruolai felt warm in his heart. Neighbors who didn't know the truth wanted to drive Wei Ruolai away, fearing they would be implicated by him. Aunt Zhou believed in Wei Ruolai's character and even considered him a national hero. Aunt Zhou drove away the heckling neighbors and invited Wei Ruolai into her home.
Taking the opportunity, she raised his rent by two yuan, leaving Wei Ruolai not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Shen Tunan stayed up late working on the bank audit report. Shen Jinzhen asked him for the military industry client information of Xingxia Bank. Shen Tunan refused, claiming these were confidential. Shen Jinzhen used the excuse of developing business for the military factory. Shen Tunan couldn't refuse her and had to hand over the client information to her.
Wei Ruolai's injuries gradually improved. He went to work at the bank early in the morning, full of energy. His colleagues were discussing him among themselves. Huang Congyun advised Wei Ruolai to leave the Central Bank voluntarily and stop causing trouble for Shen Tunan. Deng Ze wanted to fire Wei Ruolai. Shen Tunan desperately fought for Wei Ruolai.
If only Wei Ruolai had pushed the blame onto him, he could have avoided severe torture, but he swore he would not surrender. Shen Tunan insisted on keeping Wei Ruolai, and Deng Ze was helpless. Wei Ruolai wanted to hear Shen Tunan dismiss him in person; otherwise, he would absolutely not leave. Shen Tunan came downstairs and heard Wei Ruolai's words. He publicly announced that he would take Wei Ruolai as his last disciple. His colleagues were stunned and speechless.
Wei Ruolai immediately bowed to acknowledge him as his master. Shen Tunan gave the pen he carried with him to Wei Ruolai. Everyone applauded for Wei Ruolai. Huang Congyun had followed Shen Tunan for many years and had always dreamed of becoming Shen Tunan's disciple, but he didn't expect Wei Ruolai to get there first, and he felt indignant in his heart. Shen Jinzhen handed the military industry client information of Xingxia Bank to Xu Nuo.
She saw a document in Huang Congyun's office. The German company Rheinmetall had a massive volume of tungsten ore transactions. This company's funds were transferred to Nanjing through Xingxia Bank. The person in charge was named Hans, who was an old friend of Shen Tunan. The more Lin Qiaosong thought about it, the more he felt something was off about Shen Jinzhen. Both times they arrested underground party contacts, Shen Jinzhen was present.
This time, she spared no effort to help Wei Ruolai get acquitted. Lin Qiaosong decided to open a gap through Li Chengda. He immediately rushed to the hospital and urged the doctor to perform a craniotomy on Li Chengda as soon as possible. The doctor, already terrified by him, had contacted a neurosurgery expert to operate on Li Chengda, only then did Lin Qiaosong stop. Xu Nuo submitted the client information provided by Shen Jinzhen to the organization.
The higher authorities quickly got in touch with Rheinmetall. They were willing to cooperate with the Soviet Area base on tungsten ore business. Shen Jinzhen gave Hans's information to Xu Nuo and suggested doing a negotiation rehearsal beforehand. Wei Ruolai was ordered to take over the tariff accounts of HSBC. Zhang Mingquan refused to cooperate. Wei Ruolai warned him to watch himself, otherwise he could forget about having a foothold in Shanghai's banking industry in the future.
Zhang Mingquan had no choice but to yield. Mr. Song received reliable intelligence that Hans had come to Shanghai to discuss tungsten ore business with the Communist Party. He called and dispatched Shen Tunan to negotiate with Hans. He also instructed him to inform Kang Shaojie to arrest the Communist Party member who came for the business talk. Shen Tunan brought Wei Ruolai to meet Kang Shaojie. He conveyed Mr. Song's order to him.
Lin Qiaosong found out the identity of the Communist Party's negotiation representative, Lei Ming, and wanted to arrest him at the Ritsha Hotel. Wei Ruolai suggested stopping the cooperation first and then arresting the person. Shen Tunan also had this idea. Lin Qiaosong was eager to gain merit and wanted to arrest the person first. Shen Tunan clearly stated that the tungsten ore business brought considerable income to the national government every year, and once the negotiation failed, Kang Shaojie's life would be difficult to save, let alone a mere Lin Qiaosong.
