Why hesitation? That would make her even more resolved to kill him first. Bc she knows the reason he is is coming for them goes beyond business rivalry so he will be merciless.

What she is doing is very rational. YZJ is coming for the Zhengs and she has thrown her lot in with ZZH. What is she supposed to do? Roll over and play dead? It is kill or be killed. She already knows what happened to the Cuis. She is just saving herself and ZZH. I would do exactly the same.

How many ambushes has Kang Ji saved YZJ from at this point? I lost count.

Did you watch Sparrow? It is the best Republican spy drama from China that I have watched to date. All I will say is that I was completely floored when they revealed who Sparrow was.

Maybe Hongqi and Hongshen are the two kids in the picture with grandma... Ep 9 was not the first time Hongshen cross dressed...😂😂😂

There should not have been at the time it passed review, which as you said was "a long time ago".

It was also cut from 50 to 38 episodes.🤷🏻‍♀️

She is very suspicious indeed but I think almost too suspicious it is like the narrative is asking her to focus on her.

Yes I have also been thinking Kunwu may be a double agent. Bc the two Japanese agents seem to be contradicting his instructions. The director said it will be very hard to guess so I think we have to examine all possibilities.

That's definitely possible. I think it was Sparrow where there was more than one Sparrow.

Cheng Yi loves cross dressing. From 52 secs:

Lol - I have the same view on Hongqi. I also think there is a lot of deliberate misdirect in this drama that is meant to distract us from the real details /suspects.

Maybe that is why it got stuck in censorship for so long. Maybe his mother is not Japanese. Maybe Kunwu is a double agent. It just speculation, if it doesn't make sense to you, just keep on scrolling. No one made you the arbiter of what people can and cannot speculate on here.

Well I have so I don’t know what to tell you. And I don’t even have time to read that much anymore.

Unless I missed a scene showing his conception and birth we don’t know that. And many dramas have characters with hidden birth secrets it’s hardly a new thing. Part of the fun is wild speculation there are far more far fetched theories on here.🤷🏻‍♀️

I think it’s self censorship bc some of the rules can be subjective. Like not having leads that are too immoral for example.

Read more books?

I don’t think grandma is that simple but I am not sure she would kill her own son.🤨

Who would ever have guessed how much intelligence is gathered from a soup kitchen!😅😂

The boys must be brothers with a different mother.
Hongqi is the eldest and he is not as strategic as Hongshen. So he is meant to stay safe, survive and carry on the family line.
Hongshen is much more like Muzhi; he can calculate many steps ahead so he is being groomed to be a spy.
I always have the impression Hongshen is favored by Muzhi and their grandma. But I guess it is because he is the one that will take a lot of risks.
