Episode 22: Chen Wei scolds Wang Jingwei for being wanted

Various drug stores in Guangzhou are facing closure one after another, and the despicable methods of the Japanese Military Police have made everyone feel insecure. More people will worry that Ruan Feizhou will retaliate against him. Some wanted to become traitors in order to save their lives, while others would rather die than surrender. The two groups were quarreling fiercely. Chen Shanhe suddenly interrupted the quarrel and took the initiative to mention his blood feud with the Japanese, making his attitude clear.

However, under Ruan Feizhou’s intimidation, many people still chose to cooperate with the Japanese. However, the Chen family brothers and sisters were very stubborn and refused to accept hard and soft policies. Liao Siliu felt that there was no need to keep them, and wanted to use Ruan Feizhou’s hand to get rid of the Chen family, but was rejected by Ruan Feizhou, so he hatched a plan.

Ruan Feizhou then sent people to capture Zhang Taiping, and Chen Yebing went to Chen Lixia for help regardless of his injuries. As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Feizhou came out from the corner. Chen Yebing thought that Chen Lixia and Ruan Feizhou had a good relationship, and felt full of contempt in his heart. However, in order to save Zhang Taiping, Chen Lixia was willing to exchange herself for her godfather to attend a Japanese art exchange meeting. Chen Yebing heard this and warned her that if she did this, he would die in front of her.

Chen Shanhe knew that his life was in the hands of the Japanese. If he wanted to reverse the situation, he had to strike first. He immediately thought of the Three Kingdoms and took him hostage with a gun to Nanlu Pharmacy to get his gold bars. In addition, Chen Shanhe also took out a written document for Sanguo Youxi to sign, and warned him to remember one sentence, that is, evil will not prevail against good.

Chen Wei and Tan Yaoheng wanted to use Putaoju’s kitchen to develop new dishes, but the shopkeeper didn’t show up at all. Instead, the waiter invited Chen Wei to the kitchen, and Chen Wei showed off his skills on the spot. Just when Tan Yaoheng complained that the owner of Putaoju was blind, the waiter suddenly ran out and said that the owner had invited Chen Wei to be the chef of the restaurant to cook for the provincial government banquet. Tan Yaoheng imparted his experience to Chen Wei and repeatedly told him to remember to speak less and be cautious in his words and deeds.

Seeing that the three-day ultimatum from the Military Police Reporting Department had passed, Chen Shanhe naturally would not be servile, so he had to leave Guangzhou temporarily to avoid the limelight, and wrote a letter to Chen Wei and Chen Lixia. Chen Wei came to the restaurant’s kitchen and accidentally learned that the banquet was for Wang Jingwei.

On August 9, 1939, Wang Jingwei delivered a radio speech “How to Achieve Peace” in Guangzhou, persuading Chiang Kai-shek to rebel against the Communist Party and surrender. This move aroused strong opposition from people across the country, and people with lofty ideals from all walks of life set off a wave of opposition to surrender. Ozawa Kotaro gave Chen Wei a Japanese kitchen knife as a gift, hoping to make this friend, but Chen Wei retorted and cleverly denounced the traitor.

Jin Huirong forwarded the letter to Chen Lixia on behalf of Chen Shanhe, saying that he was admirable for his clear mind on major issues of right and wrong. Because of Chen Lixia, Zhang Taiping was released and returned to the theater, but Chen Yebing was still unable to accept Chen Lixia’s actions. On the other side, Chen Shanhe took the boat ticket and was about to leave Guangzhou for refuge. Suddenly he found that the police and military police on the street were searching for Chen Wei. After looking at the notice, he learned that Chen Wei had offended Wang Jingwei and was wanted.

Chen Shanhe quickly called Liao Siliu to ask about the situation. Liao Siliu said that no one could save Chen Wei this time. After all, he had offended not only Wang Jingwei, but also the entire Japan. Soon Chen Shanhe found Chen Wei and arranged for him to go to Hong Kong quickly. Chen Wei felt that he had done nothing wrong, but at this time there was no need to be right or wrong.

Then Chen Shanhe came to Sanguo Youxi again. Knowing that his son Sanguo Tailang had a stubborn illness that was difficult to cure, he bluntly said that he had a way. Because of this, Chen Shanhe brought Sanguo Youxi and his son to Xu Nanlu to ask for the Old Huoluo Pill. Xu Nanlu said that good medicine cannot save the treacherous and evil people, but Chen Shanhe believed that the child was not at fault. In the end, Xu Nanlu handed over the old Huoluo Pill. Sanguo Youxi quickly thanked him and promised to give him food and western medicine as a gift.
