After Zhou Wen returned home, his father Zhou Jixian ordered him to go back to Suzhou to hide for a few days the next day, but Zhou Wen believed that he was not wrong.Zhou Wen slipped out alone early the next morning. He saw Chen Yi at the school gate and gave her a note asking her to come to her at the address on the note at noon.Because the Japanese overseas Chinese put a lot of pressure on the embassy, if the Chinese government did not execute Zhou Wen immediately, they would bring their troops to Shanghai to start another war.Afraid of fighting again, Station Chief Chen of the Kuomintang asked Cao Ying to quickly arrest Zhou Wen with Director Ma of the police station.Chen Yi went to find Zhou Wen according to the address on the note. She felt that someone was following her along the way. After arriving at the agreed place, Zhou Wen told Chen Yi that she might have to leave for a while. Chen Yi said that there was a suspicious person on the road just now and warned himBe careful.
While the two were talking, Director Ma had already come in with his subordinates. He escorted Zhou Wen back to the police station and locked Zhou Wen in the prison.Zhou Wen's eldest brother Liu Yuan was very panicked when he heard the news of Zhou Wen's arrest. He hurried home to find Zhou Jixian to discuss how to rescue Zhou Wen.Cao Ying approached Liu Yuan and persuaded him to apply for the Central Military Academy. Liu Yuan nodded and asked her if there was any way to save Zhou Wen. Cao Ying said that she was powerless.The Japanese in the embassy gave Mayor Chen three days to quickly get rid of Zhou Wen, otherwise the Japanese army would start fighting again. Zhou Jixian also found Mayor Chen. He gave Mayor Chen a box of gold bars and asked him to rescue Zhou Wen..
Although Mayor Chen had no choice but to face the temptation of money, he had no choice but to agree.Chen Yi, Zhang Chu and others took their classmates to protest in front of the city hall. Not only did their protest have no effect, they were also imprisoned by Director Ma.When Mayor Chen learned that Director Ma had imprisoned the students without authorization, he scolded him for arousing public outrage and personally went to the prison to release the students.After the students came out, Chen Yi proposed to go to the 19th Route Army to find Battalion Commander Chen to rescue Zhou Wen. Zhang Chu agreed and went to the 19th Route Army with her.In the evening, Liu Yuan went to the prison to deliver dinner to Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen asked him why he looked panicked, but Liu Yuan said that he was fine and asked him to take good care of himself.
