The Glory of Youth — Season 1, Episode 48: Xia Zhuo realized this was still an exercise

Episode synopsis

Ouyang Jun's launch vehicle suddenly ran out of fuel. All three realized the gravity of the situation. Ouyang Jun discovered their system had been updated an hour prior. He immediately exited the vehicle with Yi Zimeng and Lin Anbang—now transformed into a listening device and tracking unit. Xia Zhuo endured a second round of interrogation, still insisting he knew nothing. Ouyang Jun encountered a group of masked men at the border. After a fierce struggle, he was captured. Simultaneously, Lin Anbang and Yi Zimeng were also taken prisoner. Xia Zhuo was interrogated again, and the masked men executed Ouyang Jun right before his eyes.
