No I rewatched that part. He was not at all shot in the head. He kept driving so probably somewhere a bullet proof vest could have protected.

Nope he was not shot in the forehead. He was able to continue driving after he was shot. In fact its not clear where he was hit if at all.

Ah, explains everything. I didn't realize it was a short drama...😜

I skimmed through the early episodes. Butler Xu was shot by the Japanese hitman but its not even clear he was really hit. According to Zhang Xiancheng, the CPC operative in charge of the gold operation, there was a traitor on that team. He also mentioned he was reporting to Butler Xu. But Butler Xu should be dead already no? Unless he is not??? Could he be the "dead" Kunwu that comes back to life. He is the same general height and shape as BaGe and I always have the impression that there were two different BaGes. I wonder if the one that died is the real Mi Xingwei and the other one is Butler Xu/Kunwu. But I haven't figured out yet how it all fits together I need to go back and re-watch some of those episodes. Thoughts?

Wild Theory: The Butler Did It!

I am not sure how the notebook could fit into the windchime. I do think the windchime is some kind of hint, as were his last words to HS. Isn't the windchime something to do with Muzhi? His last words were quotes from Buddhist scriptures which I think he also quoted to HS at the temple. So I think the codebook or maybe a clue to the gold bars is hidden in the temple where Muzhi's ashes are. Maybe Asst Wu left the house to stash it there.

Been too long since there's been a Zheng Yezheng drama.

I am just gonna pretend this doesn't exist.

Well not all the deaths many obviously did die dead .

CPC agents were not as well trained as NBIS and CBIS. They were often just normal people who wanted the foreigners gone. Both NBIS and CBIS produced elite spies from proper military academies. Their downfall was they spied on each other as much as the enemy.

True but NBIS is a hard core spy agency. Not a great place for someone who cries easily. But I think the agency in general is quite patriotic. At the time Chiang Kai-shek wanted to abandon Changsha to the Japanese. The fact that Ke didn't just fall in with those plans and leave with his spy team suggests he and his team want to defend the city.

At this stage the suspect list should be shrinking but it seems to be growing. Like what happened to Captain Tang? He sustained a injury and has been MIA since.

Or maybe Uncle Yang lied about the daughter. Later on when they looked at the pictures together there were only 4 boys - HS, HQ and Uncle Yang's two sons. The story about the wind chimes and the daughter may just be a hint to HS about where he stashed the code book.

They are most likely brothers with a different mother. Muzhi may have been married before he met Hongshen's mother. Maybe Hongqi's mother died giving birth to him and Muzhi remarried. They are 4 years apart in age. But I do think its strange they don't ever allude to Hongqi's mother. And now everyone who knows what the story was is dead.

Why was she almost crying when Yang died? Is she a CPC spy?

I think at this point the ridiculous guesses may be the best guesses.

Zhang Tianyang is a fabulous actor he has given many incredible performances. He was great as an antagonist in War of Faith, as the cowardly emperor in AJTL, 3rd uncle in LLTG, SSS, WRTW etc etc etc.

I think its someone onscreen a lot of the time that we don't suspect.

Omg you are scaring me!!!
