"Yin Feng" Episode 33
A New Era Begins
The news is out. Reports of New China's founding are hitting the airwaves. Everyone takes it differently. Jia Yunying listens to the radio alone. She pours a drink for the portraits of her father, Jia Zhong, and Wu Shiren. It is a quiet, somber memorial.
Li Heng has a completely different vibe. He sits on the steps and drinks by himself. He can't hide his happiness. Lu Shufen notices his good mood. She grabs a glass and joins him. But not everyone is celebrating. Jia Yunwu looks grim. He knows the tide has turned.
The Brother's Departure
Shen Yihe tries to rally the troops the next morning. He tells everyone to stop looking like losers. It doesn't really work. Li Heng notices Jia Yunwu is a mess. He is terrified about Wang Xiaofei's safety.
Jia Yunwu knows the game is up. He blames the collapse on internal rot. He is getting shipped off to Chongqing. He knows it is a dead end. He asks Li Heng to look after his sister and son. Before he leaves, Jia Yunying shows up. The siblings finally bury the hatchet. It is a heavy goodbye.
Baiting the Trap
Lu Wenlu is paranoid. He orders Li Heng to investigate the Sichuan Investigation Office. He suspects Jia Yunwu was dirty. An Mi reports back to Li Heng on a different front. She can't find Shen Yihe's money. The man is too careful.
Li Heng figures Shen plans to run. He tells An Mi to plant a seed. She tells Shen she has a way to wash assets. Later, she ups the ante. She tells him she can get two tickets to Hong Kong. Shen takes the bait immediately. He spends the night counting his cash. An Mi watches him through the crack in the door. She has him right where she wants him.
The Identity Reveal
A contact finds Jia Yunying. Yu Tong left instructions before he died. If things went dark, she was to take over. She needs to meet the contact named "Wildfire."
Li Heng sees a code in the paper. It mentions "Yu Xue." That was the name of Yu Tong's fiancée. It is the signal. Jia Yunying goes to the mountain meeting spot. She expects a stranger. She finds Li Heng.
The realization hits her hard. Li Heng is "Wildfire." He has been on her side the whole time. She breaks down in tears. They stand together in the woods and honor their fallen friends.
The Hit Squad
Lu Wenlu isn't done fighting. He scrapes together a new unit called the "Advance Team." He picks Sisi to lead it. Wang Xiaofei is her deputy. This is a shock for Wang. He had no idea Sisi was a high-level Juntong agent this whole time.
Zhang Yunhu manages to sneak into this squad. He rushes to the Deqing Society to warn Li Heng. This team is dangerous. They pose as bandits to assassinate patriots. He hands over a hit list.
Li Heng doesn't waste a second. He goes to Jia Yunying that night. He shows her the list. They have to save these people. Li Heng pledges the entire Deqing Society to the revolution. But the enemy is moving fast. Sisi and Wang Xiaofei are already meeting with the gang elder, Ma Sanye.
