With a gunshot from Lu Yi, the proprietor of the French foreign company, Guan Xue'an, the principal of Joan of Arc, collapsed in a pool of blood, and the original form of the deeply hidden Japanese agent was revealed.
In connection with the plot before and after this major event, "The Forerunner" seems confusing and particularly sinister.
The traitor Pei Ruhai escaped death, and together with The Japanese agents, he bloodied the Communist Shanghai Workstation and killed the agents Jiang Jiqing, Wu Chongxin and other Communists in extreme danger.
In order to protect the Communist liaison officer Chenguang, Ma Tianmu exposed his long-term lurking identity, was hunted down and killed by Kuomintang agents, and was suspected by the Communists. In the process of escorting Principal Guan, he was injured by Tang Xianping and fell into the sea, but after being rescued, he lay in the hospital.
The Sino-Japanese "Battle of Songhu" has just begun, and Japan has won the victory and is about to occupy the whole territory of Shanghai...
In the face of the intricate plot, I wonder where "The Forerunner" is going? What will be the fate of Ma Tianmu, Wu Chongxin and other major communist agents, Fan Yiting and other major figures?
The audience cares about the plot and eagerly awaits an answer.
Han Xue played Lu Yi in "The Walker"
Lu Yi, played by Han Xue, has always given people a gentle and elegant beautiful image from the first appearance to the original form.
Through the disclosure of Eiichi Sakai, the head of the Japanese secret service in the play, the beautiful veil disguised on Lu Yi was removed: she was a Japanese secret agent.
After the September 18 Incident, Japan sent a large number of spies into China to prepare for a full-scale invasion of China, and it was at this time that Lu Yi was sent to Shanghai.
She first won the trust and admiration of the French foreign firm boss Bière with a false face, married him, and thus became the boss lady of the foreign firm, with a hidden identity.
Because of this, Lu Yi gained the trust and favor of Ma Tianmu, who worked in a foreign firm, and handed over the principal to her at the critical moment, unexpectedly causing this patriot to die at the hands of Japanese agents.
Because in the melee that assassinated Lu Youxiang, Lu Yi saved the daughter of Fan Yiting, the director of the French Concession, and gained Fan Yiting's trust, making her the trustee of Joan of Arc Girls' High School. When President Guan launched a patriotic declaration against Japanese aggression, Lu Yi appeared as a patriot and took the lead in signing the patriotic declaration.
These actions have won the trust of the Communist Party and patriots, and the Kuomintang agents have no defense against her.
What is even more heinous is that she deceived the audience's trust, so when she shot and killed Principal Guan, the audience was unexpected and stunned.
This is where The Forerunner shines.
After Japan's full-scale invasion of China, Lu Yi's cold chess piece, which had been lurking for 7 years, began to start.
The latest broadcast of the plot shows that Lu Yi has become Fan Yiting's wife and justifiably lives in the Fan Mansion. The purpose was to obtain the "Confessions" that fan Yiting had obtained from all parties through his absolute trust in her, so as to grasp the secret agent files of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in Shanghai, so as to exhaust them and stabilize Japanese rule over Shanghai.
Zhang Luyi played Ma Tianmu in "The Walker"
It is conceivable that after recovering, Ma Tianmu will definitely continue to trust Lu Yi, and Lu Yi will also follow Ma Tianmu's line and grasp the whereabouts of the Communist Party in Shanghai, posing the greatest threat to the Communist Party.
Driven by his patriotic conscience, Tang Xianping gave up his transfer from Nanjing and stayed in Shanghai to carry out anti-Japanese activities, and after the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists, he and Ma Tianmu abandoned their previous suspicions and jointly resisted Japan. And how much trouble will he encounter if he ignores Lu Yi?
The traitor Pei Ruhai in "The Walker"
The latest plot also shows that Yu Duxing, who was sent to Shanghai by the Kuomintang government, has been arrested by Japanese agents and lured by Pei Ruhai to surrender to Japan. He may be the person responsible for the secret service organization in Shanghai of the soon-to-be-established Wang Jingwei traitorous government. This organization will surely become an accomplice of Japan, competing with the Kuomintang secret service organization to make the plot more exciting.
Lu Yi (Han Xue), who has revealed the truth about the secret agents
After more than 20 episodes, "The Forerunner" has dropped the most insidious and harmful enemies on Japanese agents such as Lu Yi, which shows the cleverness and conscience of this drama.
At any time and in any place, foreign hostility to China is the greatest threat and the common enemy of different parties in China.
Poster of The Walker
From this, I expected that Ma Tianmu and Tang Xianping, two comrades in distress, would definitely join forces to engage in a life-and-death contest with Lu Yi and other Japanese agents. Chinese with conscience, such as Fan Yiting, will also make painful and wise choices.
Then, the later scenes will be more exciting, better looking, and more intriguing. "The Forerunner" should therefore become a superior spy drama.
We'll see...
