Yeah I think at this point, everyone's true loyalties are emerging. I didn't register his name but the guy helping Chief Ke in the latest episodes is looking like he is quite sharp. I wonder if I should suspect him next.

How??? The body count is staggering....

I checked it out only with the expectation of dropping.

Some sharp eyed netizens noticed that in his office, Chief Ke has framed writings of Xin Qiji, a renown Song dynasty poet and calligrapher who loved his country deeply. Some of the key lines expresses his deep fear for the fate of the country and his desire to drive out the Jin soldiers. The clear implication is Chief Ke is a patriot and will stand against foreign enemies.

If he had been a good guy, I would have called him a jolly good fella!😅😂

Lol - my history knowledge is very spotty - I read a lot about periods I am interested in and honestly this was such a depressing period I didn't really enjoy reading about it. But I did read a lot of Han Suyin's works bc my mom collected all her books and she lived through this period and was very critical of the KMT's failings and a huge apologist of Mao/CPC. Even from my own grandparents stories, I think the part that is really true is the KMT/Chiang Kai-shek was hideously corrupt and ridden with in-fighting. They lost the support of the people bc at the end of the day they cooperated with the foreign invaders esp the Japanese against Chinese people. I think this story has a lot to do with these themes.

I really like Chief Ke! He is under pressure to produce results when there is so much infighting in his own department. And Ling Han obviously doesn't respect him and flouts that his reporting line is higher than Chief Ke's.

Ling Han's biggest mistake is everyone hates him.

YHS's biggest mistake so far is to save that fat bastard. I'd have just let them shoot him dead.

He is the ultimate survivor. The enemy of my enemy... YHS played him so well!!!

Yes but I still don't think he is a Japanese spy. My knowledge of history of this period is not great but I remember that KMT/NBIS had an uneasy collaboration with the Japanese in some cities and while they opposed them in others at the same time. This was just Chiang Kai-shek's regime being pragmatic bc many cities including Shanghai were already largely controlled by the Japanese. I believe Ling Han and Shi are part of that KMT/NBIS faction that believes that the CPC is more dangerous than the Japanese. So they are willing to work with the Japanese against the CPC. But on other matters they are still enemies.

Yes that is also coming out in Ep 28 but that means she may have anonymously slipped them to Ling Han. And he is a bastard, he doesn't care where it came from as long as he takes down YHS. He is Shi's man and they are clearly after Commies not Japs. That's why KMT failed.

Yes that is possible he was just too keen to take down YHS. But hopefully that is a mistake he will pay for.

I don't think it was taken by Milan personally. She had someone stashed nearby to take the pix, the person she made the OK sign to. Maybe even Kunwu himself. The pix were taken by Wei Xiaojun who was sent by Ling Han to follow YHS. So Ling Han definitely looks very sus but no direct link to Milan and Kunwu yet.

I don't understand why Ling Han felt the need to kill her when NBIS wished to question her on her phone call to YHS. She can lead them to YZM. Ling Han is an elite spy, if he stayed hidden she'd never have found him. That was stupid and sloppy of him.

Well hopefully it won't then.

Just her own son....? 😂

This is a Republican period drama. Best not get attached to any couples.

According to Han Chengyu/ Ling Han at a livestream Kunwu is someone that died and resurrected. OMG like we don't have enough suspects. I guess it is Grandma after all!!!!😅😂 Seriously at this point I think the cast is having fun with us!!!

I can't for the life of me remember it bc I skip all the OSTs. They usually have spoilers so I always FF...😅😂
