When the candidates learned about the fire, they swarmed out of the classroom. They were trapped in a room waiting for rescue. Only Wei Ruolai remained in his seat answering the questions as if nothing had happened. The invigilator advised him to go out and take shelter. Wei Ruolai insisted on finishing all the questions before leaving. Wei Ruolai saw a cleaning lady who was choked by smoke in the corridor and gave her emergency first aid.

He then found the escape route left by Shen Tunan and covered the candidates for a smooth escape. He not only rescued the cleaning lady but also used the fire fighting facilities in the courtyard to extinguish the fire. It turned out that the fire was carefully arranged by Shen Tunan to test the candidates' ability to react. It was an abandoned building.

Most of the candidates were from influential families; they were unlearned and wanted to get a job at the bank through connections. In the end, only Wei Ruolai passed the test. His exam score was also full marks. Shen Tunan was very optimistic about him and interviewed him together with Deng Ze. Wei Ruolai stayed to put out the fire because he wanted to protect the archives inside, but he didn't expect the rooms to be empty.

Shen Tunan briefly understood Wei Ruolai's situation. Wei Ruolai truthfully answered that he was a poor scholar and only wanted to earn a lot of money. Shen Tunan asked him to talk about the duties and development of the Central Bank. Wei Ruolai's analysis was well-reasoned. Shen Tunan then tested Wei Ruolai's memory. He could flip through a book quickly and answer questions fluently.

Deng Ze suspected that he had seen the book beforehand, so he gave him an account book. Wei Ruolai read it from beginning to end, not only memorizing every entry but also pointing out one incorrect entry. Shen Tunan was very optimistic about Wei Ruolai and wanted to recommend him to a higher-paying bank. Wei Ruolai hesitated for a moment before refusing. Shen Tunan greatly appreciated Wei Ruolai and wanted to formally hire him.

Deng Ze found out that Wei Ruolai's hometown was Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, which was a base for Communist Party activities. Moreover, Wei Ruolai's older brother left his hometown during the Party purge. Based on the principle of not hiring someone if in doubt, he canceled Wei Ruolai's job opportunity. Wei Ruolai had no choice but to leave disappointed. Shen Tunan felt it was a pity for Wei Ruolai. Wei Ruolai returned to Qibao Street dejected.

Wen Biao, who had just finished work, greeted him warmly and invited him to eat wontons. The neighbors all spoke kind words of persuasion to him. Auntie Zhou stood up for Wei Ruolai. A neighbor Uncle, who used to work at Jiao Tong Bank, pointed out sharply that Wei Ruolai's inherent value did not meet the Central Bank's standards and encouraged him not to be discouraged. Wei Ruolai was unwilling to give up just like that.

He dug out the Central Bank briefings he had collected, which all contained news about Shen Tunan. He conducted a comprehensive analysis and then went to the stock exchange, finally seeing clearly Shen Tunan's intention to use Kunpeng Industry to swallow up the four major private banks. Xu Nuo sent a telegram to the Jiangxi base area, reporting the news that eight comrades had been betrayed by a traitor.

Wei Ruochuan was ordered to go to Shanghai to rescue the eight comrades betrayed by the traitor Gu Lun. Before departing, Lei Ming, a staff member of the Jiangxi Provincial Bank, handed him a box of gold bars. Today was Christmas, and Shen Tunan held a cocktail party at his home. Celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai came to attend.

Kang Shaojie, Director of the Military Law Department of the Songhu Garrison Command, was also invited to the banquet. He had found out that someone from the Green Gang had planted a bomb in Shen Tunan's car beforehand. Fortunately, Shen Tunan hadn't gotten into the car yet, so he escaped unharmed. His wife, Su Cishu, was very anxious when she learned that Shen Tunan was in danger. Shen Tunan patiently comforted her.

Lin Qiaosong came to the dinner with Kang Shaojie. He even specially changed into a sharp suit, hoping to take this opportunity to make connections with celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai. Kang Shaojie saw through his intentions and forcibly drove him away. Lin Qiaosong felt indignant and vowed to make a name for himself sooner or later.

Gao Feng, Deputy Director of the Central Bank's Foreign Exchange Department, heard that Shen Tunan was secretly investigating him, so he sought help from Yu Shiqing, President of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, and was determined to get rid of Shen Tunan. He also revealed to Zhang Mingquan, President of Tongshang Bank, Shen Tunan's method of using stocks to suppress Tongshang Bank. Zhang Mingquan knew that Shen Tunan was accumulating wealth for the Nanjing government.

Yu Shiqing advised Gao Feng not to be impatient. Wei Ruolai learned that Shen Tunan's family was holding a cocktail party, and he managed to find an invitation to enter the Shen family home. Shen Tunan publicly announced the dismissal of Gao Feng and exposed Gao Feng's illegal gains of 280,000 yuan through speculating on exchange rates, causing tens of millions in losses to the government.

Gao Feng tried every means to argue, but Shen Tunan had already obtained conclusive evidence. Kang Shaojie ordered Gao Feng to be arrested. Shen Jinzhen is Shen Tunan's younger sister. Su Cishu dressed her up carefully and asked her to go on stage to play the piano for the guests to liven things up. Shen Jinzhen's piano music was melodious, and the guests applauded together and cheered for her.

Kang Shaojie Wei Ruolai recognized Shen Jinzhen and thought she was invited by Shen Tunan. He called her aside and asked her to convey a message to Shen Tunan: he had solved the puzzle of Kunpeng Industry. Xu Nuo took advantage of the chaos to give Shen Jinzhen a note. Her superior had assigned Shen Jinzhen to eliminate Gu Lun. Shen Jinzhen relayed Wei Ruolai's words to Shen Tunan. Shen Tunan called Wei Ruolai aside privately.

Wei Ruolai explained Shen Tunan's intentions in detail. Shen Tunan suspected that he had secretly seen the bank's confidential information and told him to surrender to the Investigation Team.
