In September 1934, Chiang Kai-shek personally took command of the Fifth Encirclement Campaign against the Central Soviet Area. Our army fought fiercely against the enemy at Songmaoling for seven days and nights, and was finally forced to transfer due to the disparity in forces. Lei Ming announced the Central Committee's directive for a comprehensive transfer. Niu Chunmiao and Kong Lingzheng and others were reluctant to abandon the base area's tungsten ore mine and bank. Wei Ruolai was also unwilling.

Lei Ming persuaded them to prioritize the overall situation. Wei Ruolai wanted to convert the two hundred thousand silver dollars from selling the tungsten ore into strategic supplies and send them to the front line of the Soviet Area. Niu Chunmiao and Kong Lingzheng both requested to go with him. Lei Ming couldn't refuse them and had to let them go back.

Wei Ruolai handed the money from selling the tungsten ore to Yan Youmin, asking him to buy supplies such as medicine and salt. Yan Youmin readily agreed, wanting the list of previous transactions with the Soviet Area back after the matter was concluded. Lin Qiaosong heard that Yan Youmin had sold a large batch of supplies to Wei Ruolai and decided to intercept this batch of goods. Shen Tunan analyzed that Wei Ruolai would transport them by water this time.

Yan Youmin sent people to track Lin Qiaosong, planning to seize back that batch of goods and retrieve the transaction evidence from Wei Ruolai's hands. Lin Qiaosong sent his subordinate Ganzi to secretly investigate the warehouse, where he found a batch of medicine. He reported back to Lin Qiaosong, who analyzed that Wei Ruolai would use railway transport for the supplies.

Shen Tunan felt that Wei Ruolai wouldn't make the same mistake, but Lin Qiaosong insisted that Wei Ruolai would go by rail. Shen Tunan decided to go to the station with Lin Qiaosong. Lin Qiaosong knew this operation was very dangerous. This was Wei Ruolai's last time transporting supplies to the Soviet Area, and he would definitely fight desperately. Lin Qiaosong was prepared for a final stand.

Before setting off, he told Song Meijuan the truth, admitting that he had killed Song Meijuan's brother, Song Shoutian. Song Meijuan was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. Lin Qiaosong worried that he would likely meet with misfortune this time, so he left all his savings to Song Meijuan and told Song Meijuan to find a good man to marry again. Lin Qiaosong tearfully said goodbye to Song Meijuan.

Lin Qiaosong gathered all his subordinates and gave them a pre-battle mobilization, telling them to kill Wei Ruolai at all costs, and he even showed them Wei Ruolai's portrait. Wei Ruolai saw that Yan Youmin was acting in a two-faced manner and worried that he would cause trouble at the last moment, so he told Niu Chunmiao and Kong Lingzheng and others to be prepared for a decisive battle.

Shen Tunan took Huang Congyun and boarded the train from Huangsha Station. Huang Congyun circled the carriage but did not see Wei Ruolai. He saw Secretary Xiao, Yan Youmin's subordinate, on the train, and Shen Tunan guessed that Yan Youmin wanted to double-cross them. Wei Ruolai had made meticulous arrangements beforehand, arranging for people to impersonate the stokers and attendants on the train.

Yan Youmin had arranged heavy troops at Huaxian Station, intending to intercept the goods and kill people there, but unexpectedly the train went directly past Huaxian without stopping. When Yan Youmin learned of this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Secretary Xiao brought people to the engine and forced the driver to stop the train. Wei Ruolai had arranged someone to impersonate a stoker at the engine, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

The more Lin Qiaosong thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Through various signs, he analyzed that Shen Tunan and Wei Ruolai were in league. Lin Qiaosong drew his gun and aimed it at Shen Tunan, wanting to kill him. Shen Tunan did not explain. Lin Qiaosong fired a shot at him. Huang Congyun rushed forward without hesitation to shield Shen Tunan. Lin Qiaosong fired several more shots before leaving the compartment to catch Wei Ruolai.

Lin Qiaosong brought reinforcements. Wei Ruolai, Niu Chunmiao, and Kong Lingzheng retreated while fighting. They kept retreating to the last carriage. Kong Lingzheng covered them to the last carriage, but was shot dead in the crossfire. Huang Congyun was hit by multiple bullets.

With his last breath, he spoke his innermost thoughts, saying he had known for a long time that Shen Tunan had defected to the Communist Party, but it was a pity that he could no longer follow Shen Tunan. After saying this, Huang Congyun died. Shen Tunan was relieved that he had survived because he had worn the bulletproof vest that Shen Jinzhen had given him beforehand.

Lin Qiaosong caught up to Wei Ruolai, and the two engaged in a fierce fight. Lin Qiaosong tightly clutched Wei Ruolai's neck and wouldn't let go. Fortunately, Shen Tunan arrived in time, and he shot Lin Qiaosong dead. Wei Ruolai had already guessed that Shen Tunan had been secretly helping him all along; otherwise, he would not have been able to complete the mission of transporting the tungsten ore.

Wei Ruolai looked forward to the day when he and Shen Tunan would fight side by side. Shen Tunan looked at Wei Ruolai's receding back and showed a relieved smile. The train slowly pulled into the station. The Guangdong Army had been waiting for a long time. They took the goods out of the carriages to inventory them and discovered that they were all stones, realizing they had been tricked.

It turned out that Shen Tunan had secretly passed the low price quoted by Hans to Wei Ruolai using Morse code hidden in a pen. That is how Wei Ruolai was able to quote Hans the price of 65 yuan. He transported the supplies to Jiangxi by water. In October 1934, 88,000 Red Army soldiers strategically relocated from Ruijin and Gucheng.

The Soviet Area Bank was incorporated into the column and embarked on the long journey of the Long March with the main force. Lei Ming knew everyone was reluctant to leave and encouraged them not to be disheartened, saying that they would open banks all over the country in the future. The first time Wei Ruolai left his hometown, he was full of aspirations and dreams for Great Shanghai. He gradually transformed from a naive youth into a determined revolutionary.

The second time he left his hometown, Jiangxi, Wei Ruolai firmly believed that one day he would return home with his head held high. In October 1935, Wei Ruolai arrived at the Shaanbei base area and continued to work in finance. In December 1936, Wei Ruolai accepted the organization's arrangement to go to Shanghai under an assumed name to meet with 'Lonesome Goose'. He went directly to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and saw Shen Tunan as soon as he entered. The two exchanged a smile, ready to create a new financial legend in Shanghai.
