The Eve (2023) 前夜 Episode 10 Recap & Review

Episode 10: Lin Xi and Takeda reach “cooperation”

As soon as Zhu Qiwen’s words hit the ground, Lin Xi raised his gun and shot Zhu Qiwen to death, avenging his adoptive father. Jiang Wei came to the scene with people from the patrol room, but Lin Xi didn’t even run away. Professor Han told Su Nan about this, but Su Nan said that whatever Lin Xi did had nothing to do with her. Su Nan and Ling Hongjun met in the library. Ling Hongjun told her that the current situation in Shanghai was turbulent, and the organization decided to preserve its effective forces and let some progressive students leave Shanghai first.

Su Nan was in charge of confirming the list of students, gathering them in batches to the library, and sending them out of the city. Lin Xi was locked in the patrol room, and Jiang Wei went to inform him that Takeda Hideo personally came to the patrol room to release him on bail. Jiang Wei couldn’t help but wonder who Lin Xi was.

And all this is in Zhou Yingqun’s calculations. Zhou Yingqun told Lin Xi before that as long as Zhu Qiwen dies, Lin Xi’s value to Takeda Hideo will be greatly increased because Takeda Hideo wants to get close to Cheng Siyi, but Cheng Siyi doesn’t want to see him With Zhu Qiwen, only Lin Xi is the most useful to Takeda Hideo at the moment, so Takeda will definitely try his best to bail him out. Soon, Lin Xi and Takeda Hideo reached a superficial cooperation.

Although he doesn’t trust Lin Xi enough, Takeda believes that he only needs to use him. Takeda wants to turn Shanghai into a treasury for the Japanese, but the key to this treasury lies in the hands of Shanghai merchants. Takeda needed someone to facilitate the meeting with Cheng Siyi, and they also needed someone to turn the meeting into a trap.

It is difficult to complete an assassination in public, so it must be a private meeting, and Lin Xi is the most suitable candidate. Zhou Yingqun helped Li Yunfei get the boat ticket, and under Lin Xi’s reminder, Li Yunfei immediately took the boat ticket to He’s house. It happened that He Xiaoyuan’s cousin just wanted to take He Xiaoyuan away with the boat ticket, but was accused by He Xiaoyuan’s parents.

Li Yunfei appeared, drove away the unscrupulous cousin, and handed over the boat ticket to He Xiaoyuan’s parents. If he could live, he would definitely marry He Xiaoyuan. As soon as Lin Xi came forward, Cheng Siyi agreed to meet, and the meeting place was in Box 2 of the Capital Theater. Lin Xi’s work efficiency was ridiculously high, which aroused the suspicion of Takeda’s subordinates, but Takeda wanted to facilitate a meeting with Cheng Siyi. He believed that as long as they met, the matter would be half successful.

Lin Xi went to see Su Nan and apologized to her for what he said last time. Professor Han also deliberately brought the two of them together and told Lin Xi to protect Su Nan in the future. Tomorrow afternoon, Lin Xi will tell Su Nan everything. The two agreed to meet at a phone booth next to the school. Su Nan and Lin Xi waited for Zhou Yingqun and Li Yunfei in the bar. The three grown men drank a lot of wine. It was a rare moment of relaxation and happiness.

The three of them even called themselves the Three Musketeers of Shanghai. Lin Xi casually made a ring that fit Su Nan’s size, and the four of them asked the waiter to take a group photo. When he got home in the evening, Zhou Yingqun asked Lin Xi again if he wanted to do this. Once this was done, it would be difficult for him to stay in Shanghai anymore.

Professor Han had two air tickets. Su Nan was annoyed with him for hiding her, but she also understood that Uncle Han was doing it for her own good and didn’t want her to run around outside all day long. Su Nan told Professor Han that their generation has a mission, and now it is her generation’s turn.

Uncle Han was helpless, but he still took a step back and agreed to let her do what she wanted to do. Just as the students were about to leave, No. 76 surrounded the library, and the scene was thrilling for a time. Professor Han was thoughtful because of Su Nan’s words, and he also felt that it was time to set off.
