Wei Ruolai searched the fake currency workshop in Zhabei carefully, refusing to let go of any corner. When Shen Tunan called him to leave, Wei Ruolai was still staring thoughtfully at two crucibles used for melting silver. Lin Qiaosong saw all of this. He was worried that Wei Ruolai would find a flaw, so he asked Wen Biao to send someone to keep a close eye on Wei Ruolai and report to him at any time.

The more Wei Ruolai thought about it, the more something felt wrong. With just two small crucibles, it was impossible to produce three thousand silver dollars a day. Wei Ruolai also recalled the strange look in the eyes of the arrested person. He concluded that this was not the fake currency production den. Wei Ruolai ran to a telephone booth overnight to report the matter to Shen Tunan. Wen Biao's subordinate hid nearby and heard everything clearly.

As expected by Wei Ruolai, the real fake currency production site was at the Xieqiao Ironworks. This place was heavily guarded. Lin Qiaosong regularly came here to supervise the work. Because things were tense recently, he had the workers rest during the day and work overtime at night to produce fake currency. A worker, due to family difficulties, stole a few silver dollars and was shot dead on the spot by Lin Qiaosong.

Wen Biao rushed to report to Lin Qiaosong that Wei Ruolai had discovered that was a fake den. Lin Qiaosong sent Wen Biao to personally keep an eye on Wei Ruolai to prevent him from discovering the fake currency factory. Kang Shaojie learned of this matter and severely reprimanded Lin Qiaosong. He gave Lin Qiaosong a death order: kill anyone who approaches the factory. Shen Tunan found Wei Ruolai and Huang Congyun to discuss countermeasures.

Wei Ruolai accidentally discovered that they were being followed. Shen Tunan and Wei Ruolai got off midway, took a rickshaw to Qibao Street, and went directly to Wei Ruolai's rental room. Wen Biao led his men in close pursuit. Huang Congyun told his driver to follow closely behind Wen Biao. Niu Chunmiao rushed home. She enthusiastically took out honey ginger slices for Shen Tunan to taste.

After Shen Tunan ate a slice, Niu Chunmiao went to the kitchen to cook to entertain Shen Tunan. Wen Biao watched downstairs until dark but did not see Shen Tunan and Wei Ruolai come out. They had to withdraw. Huang Congyun followed his car as he left. Niu Chunmiao chatted with Shen Tunan, found him full of righteousness, and thought he was a Red Army soldier. Wei Ruolai tried to stop Niu Chunmiao but it was too late.

Shen Tunan knew that Niu Chunmiao's hometown was a Red Army base, so he inquired about the Red Army from her. Niu Chunmiao, disregarding Wei Ruolai's dissuasion, spoke her true thoughts. She felt that the corrupt Nationalist Party would not last long. Shen Tunan fell into deep thought after hearing her words. Huang Congyun tracked Wen Biao and found the Xieqiao Ironworks. He discovered many hidden sentries were placed around. Huang Congyun immediately reported to Shen Tunan.

He suspected that the ironworks was the real den for fake currency. Shen Tunan did not want to alert the enemy and wanted to ask Mr. Song to send the tax police team to seal the factory. Huang Congyun immediately called Mr. Song. No one answered the phone. Wei Ruolai suspected that Mr. Song was deliberately not answering. Shen Tunan worried that delaying would cause complications and decided to personally lead men to the factory for investigation.

Wei Ruolai suggested asking the rickshaw pullers' association brothers to help provide support. Shen Tunan readily agreed. Shen Tunan led the bank security team to the Xieqiao Ironworks to search the factory. Lin Qiaosong led his men in a desperate resistance, wildly firing at Shen Tunan and his group. Niu Chunmiao and Jiang Huhao arrived in time with the rickshaw pullers to provide support. Niu Chunmiao and Jiang Huhao and others rushed in through the back door amidst the chaos.

They held Lin Qiaosong hostage. Lin Qiaosong had no choice but to let Shen Tunan and his group enter. Shen Tunan entered the fake currency production workshop. It was filled with stacks of shiny silver dollars. Niu Chunmiao was stunned. Huang Congyun discovered a large amount of opium in a back secret room. Shen Tunan ordered all the fake currency and opium to be seized. Yu Ziying arrived subsequently with the police.

He ordered everyone present to be killed without mercy. Shen Tunan realized he wanted to silence witnesses. Niu Chunmiao led them to escape through the back door. The rickshaw puller Erdan was shot dead by stray bullets. Jiang Huhao was so angry he yelled loudly. Shen Jinzhen, hiding on the rooftop of the opposite building, injured Yu Ziying. The police were in chaos. Shen Tunan and Wei Ruolai took advantage of the confusion to lead everyone to withdraw.

The police pursued them relentlessly. Shen Jinzhen opened fire and killed several policemen. Shen Tunan and his group escaped through a hail of bullets. Erdan's family arrived upon hearing the news. Shen Tunan swore he would seek justice for the deceased Erdan. He thanked Jiang Huhao and the others for their strong support. Shen Tunan asked Huang Congyun to quickly develop the photos taken at the scene as evidence. Mr. Song sent Secretary Lu to invite Shen Tunan.

Shen Tunan came to Mr. Song's mansion. Kang Shaojie and Yu Ziying were also invited by Mr. Song. Shen Tunan swore to settle accounts with them. Wei Ruolai took Niu Chunmiao and Jiang Huhao and others to the hospital to get their wounds bandaged. The police arrived shortly after and arrested Jiang Huhao and the others. Wei Ruolai went to Shen Tunan for help. At the entrance, he met Shen Jinzhen.

He smelled gunpowder on Shen Jinzhen and suspected that the sniper was Shen Jinzhen. Shen Jinzhen made various excuses to cover it up. Shen Tunan rushed home afterwards. He was forced to compromise. The fake currency and opium were means for high-level officials in the Nanjing government to accumulate wealth. High-level leaders ordered Shen Tunan to destroy the seized fake currency and opium, and then find two scapegoats.

Shen Tunan also had to hand over all the evidence and materials he possessed. He felt indignant in his heart. Wei Ruolai was unwilling to close the case like this. They had risked their lives to obtain conclusive evidence, and opium and fake currency were the roots of disaster for the country and its people. However, this case involved high-level officials in the Nanjing government, and Shen Tunan was powerless. He advised Wei Ruolai to choose to compromise.

Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan had a fierce argument when their views clashed. Shen Jinzhen heard Shen Tunan's and Wei Ruolai's conversation and advised Wei Ruolai to face reality. Wei Ruolai left in a huff, slamming the door. Shen Tunan held a press conference. He publicly announced that Lin Qiaosong and police officer Liu Zhixin were the culprits. Yu Ziying slandered the rickshaw pullers for distributing fake currency. Wei Ruolai stepped forward to argue with him.

Shen Tunan loudly stopped Wei Ruolai. Wei Ruolai went onto the stage and reasoned forcefully with Shen Tunan, speaking out against the injustice for the deceased rickshaw puller. Shen Tunan ordered Huang Congyun to take Wei Ruolai down.
