War of Faith Episode 3 Recap
> War of Faith Recap
Wei Ruolai clearly stated that he had not stolen confidential information from the Central Bank and had no access to those secret documents. He had inferred everything based on newspaper reports. Shen Tunan's meticulously planned scheme to use Kunpeng Industry to swallow up the four major private banks was an absolute secret, and it was impossible for Wei Ruolai to have figured it out. However, Wei Ruolai was certain of his claims and spoke logically.
Shen Tunan admired Wei Ruolai greatly. Wei Ruolai was determined to work for the Central Bank, voluntarily offered to sign a confidentiality agreement, and even pledged his life. Shen Tunan refused again, saying that he was at the Central Bank to fight a battle, while Wei Ruolai wanted to support his family. Their beliefs were different. Wei Ruolai completely saw through the widespread corruption among officials and vowed to follow Shen Tunan to change this greedy financial circle.
Shen Tunan had no choice but to tell him that his hometown, Jiangxi, was a Communist Party base, which was a major taboo for the Central Bank when hiring. Wei Ruolai was greatly disappointed. After careful consideration, Shen Tunan decided to let Wei Ruolai be his private assistant. Wei Ruolai was so happy he couldn't close his mouth. He asked Shen Tunan to write a confirmation letter to Huang Congyun, just in case Shen Tunan changed his mind.
Shen Jinzhen came to find Shen Tunan. Shen Tunan wanted to introduce Wei Ruolai to the guests. Only then did Wei Ruolai realize that Shen Jinzhen was Shen Tunan's younger sister. Shen Jinzhen quietly advised Shen Tunan to think twice, as he had only just met Wei Ruolai and did not know his background well. Shen Tunan was very optimistic about Wei Ruolai. He formally introduced Wei Ruolai to guests like Deng Ze and Kang Shaojie.
When Kang Shaojie learned that Wei Ruolai was from Ji'an, Jiangxi, he worried that he might have a Communist Party background. Shen Tunan vouched for Wei Ruolai, and Kang Shaojie didn't ask further, but privately reminded Shen Tunan to be cautious. This was Wei Ruolai's first time attending such a cocktail party. He was in a great mood and drank heartily by himself, quickly getting drunk. Wei Ruolai returned to Qibao Street very late. Wen Biao escorted him home.
He brought a large bag of food for Wen Biao. When Wen Biao learned that he was Shen Tunan's private assistant, he was also happy for him. When the neighbors learned that Wei Ruolai had found a good job, they set off firecrackers early in the morning to celebrate for him. Auntie Zhou and Uncle both came to see Wei Ruolai and gave him many admonishments.
Uncle also gave him guidance and taught him the secrets to establishing himself firmly in the bank. Wei Ruolai took everything to heart. Wei Ruolai took the tram to the Central Bank for work in the morning. Huang Congyun took the new employees on a tour of the bank and assigned them to different departments. Huang Congyun took Wei Ruolai to Shen Tunan's office and reminded him to move out of Qibao Street.
Wei Ruolai was used to living there, so Huang Congyun reminded him not to say that he lived in Qibao Street, a slum. Shen Tunan took Wei Ruolai to meet with the executives of Tongshang Bank and asked him to take notes. Seeing Tongshang Bank being swallowed up by Shen Tunan, Zhang Mingquan was unwilling to accept it, so he sought help from Yu Shiqing. Yu Shiqing was the second-largest shareholder of Tongshang Bank.
Xingxia Bank was also Shen Tunan's target. Yu Shiqing agreed to help, but told Zhang Mingquan to bear the consequences himself. Shen Tunan took Wei Ruolai to meet with the executives of Tongshang Bank and reassured them, asking them to stay on. Shen Tunan sent Huang Congyun to the school to inquire about Wei Ruolai's background, worrying that he might have a red background. Shen Jinzhen found out Gu Lun's whereabouts.
She disguised herself as a cleaning lady at the hotel and quietly approached Gu Lun's room. She shot and killed Gu Lun. The hotel descended into chaos. Shen Jinzhen took advantage of the confusion to change into a Western-style dress and escape safely. Lin Qiaosong and the police rushed to the scene upon hearing the news. They conducted a detailed investigation of the scene and discovered that Gu Lun had been drugged with soda before being killed.
Lin Qiaosong deduced that the killer was a woman, and remembering the previous shootout, concluded that it was the same person. Yu Shiqing sent Manager Wang of Xingxia Bank to accompany Zhang Mingquan and confront Shen Tunan. They arrived at the stock exchange early. Shen Tunan had already prepared countermeasures. Tongshang Bank's stock price was stable. He injected a large amount of capital into Xingxia Bank, causing its stock price to plummet all the way.
Manager Wang took out all his funds to rescue the market. Shen Tunan seized the opportunity and immediately sold, reinvesting in Xinhe Cotton Yarn shares, which were Xingxia Bank's largest asset. Xingxia Bank's stock gradually stabilized, while Xinhe Cotton Yarn began to plunge. Manager Wang immediately panicked. He called Yu Shiqing for help. Yu Shiqing told him to do everything possible to stabilize Xinhe shares.
Manager Wang used a large sum of money to make Xinhe's stock price rise all the way. Shen Tunan told his broker to sell Xinhe and reinvest in Jinlong Cement shares. Wei Ruolai witnessed Shen Tunan's series of operations and saw that he was using a tactic of "beating the grass to startle the snake. " Lin Qiaosong arrested Li Chengda, an underground Communist Party liaison, and subjected him to severe torture. Li Chengda refused to yield even unto death.
Seeing Jinlong stock falling, Manager Wang was at a loss. He had no choice but to seek help from Yu Shiqing again. Yu Shiqing told him to invest all his funds into Jinlong.
