Episode 22

Section Chief.

How is he faring in his current position?

He is inside Dinghua, so let's just let him be. There will be too much noise if we go there.

I hope we can dig up new suspects as he said.

I am not that demanding. I am just asking for new clues.

Let's go then. It's so hard to wait for the call.

Let's go.

- Did you get it? - You think of me so much.

You cannot live without seeing me even for a day?

I am not sure about Sister Jing, but I did not think of you at all.

- Me neither. - How did it go?

Zixuan guessed it correctly.

The hard disk was newly replaced.

Why did you suddenly want to check this?

I suggested to Pang Yishan before

to re-investigate the Dinghua network virus

when in fact, I was trying to make sure which documents were actually leaked.

I tested the personal computers of all the employees in the R&D department, and I didn't find anything noteworthy.

However, the memory and hard disk usage records of these computers are at least one year old

except from Yu Haoran's. Only his personal computer hard disk's usage record is only a few days old.

And I happened to be with Yu Haoran on the day I submitted my application.

Guess what day it was.

Do we still have to guess? It must be the day when the hard disk was changed.

Correct.

Moreover, the R&D department clearly stipulates that it is necessary to submit an application first

and then have the disk replaced by the IT department.

I have checked this. There is no application record of Yu Haoran.

So Yu Haoran did this

to hide the storage records of the hard disk.

This Yu Haoran obviously has a guilty conscience.

If you put it that way, there must have been a lot of important information coming out of his hands.

The key is whether he distributed the information on purpose.

Correct.

Section Chief, the target has just left Dinghua. We are following him.

- Copy that. Each unit follows alternately. Keep pace with us on the long-range. - Copy that.

It was only after four o'clock that he got off work.

I thought the R&D department was busy recently.

Then who just sent me a message

saying that Yu Haoran answered a phone call before taking a leave of absence.

If only he could be fully monitored. When will the approval come down?

Department Chief Song said that the approval for comprehensive monitoring may not come down at all.

Why? This Yu Haoran obviously has a guilty conscience.

But we have no evidence that he deliberately leaked the information.

And we don't know what information he leaked.

He changed the hard disk privately, probably to cover up his work violations.

But there is no evidence that he is suspected of a crime.

I'm just afraid we'll miss a lot if we don't monitor his calls.

Let's do the following first. Let's follow the old rules.

If we can get more evidence, we should be able to get the approval.

Reconnaissance car, the target stopped on a street near a bar.

Copy that.

Xiao Li, follow him in.

You are sitting in a bar...

and drinking like this?

Let's have some beer and some barbecue.

Hello, pour me a drink. Something strong will do.

All right.

- Is it my treat or your treat today? - Yours.

Why should I treat you?

Hello, a high-end drink for him and a zombie for me.

What is it?

The person Yu Haoran went to see was Yang Xun.

What's the matter, Brother Yang? You are a completely different person. Don't be depressed.

Xiao Li, the signal is clear. Just keep the position.

Haoran, I haven't seen you for a few days and your confidence is soaring.

Not at all, not at all. It is just that I haven't seen you for a long time, and did not know how you are faring.

By the way, President Pang always talks to me about you.

Do not mention him.

All right, all right, all right. Let's not mention him.

Brother Yang, you... what exactly happened that you called me here?

How do I usually treat you?

Very well.

Since I am in this mess now, can you give me a hand?

My brother... 2 million...

Where do you think I can find so much money with my skill?

Old Pang told you, didn't he?

In fact, I think President Pang has a point.

Look, if you sell the house, won't you make up for it?

If you use the mortgage as a loan now, you will definitely lose money.

And you will have to pay it back later.

I know that you cannot swallow this implication.

This is completely normal. This house equates to masculine dignity.

But in a time like this... Brother Yang, you are a capable man.

It's not a big deal to start all over again!

You have the same moral integrity as Pang.

Go.

Then think about it when you go back, Brother Yang.

I still say that Heaven helps those who help themselves.

Lao Liu, Yu Haoran is preparing to leave the bar. Follow him out.

I understand.

What about Yang Xun? Do we need to monitor him?

Xiao Li.

Continue to monitor Yang Xun until he leaves.

Thanks.

Where did you order this from?

My mom made it herself.

Your mom is like family to me.

You're here.

Already eating?

I'll take it. I guarantee that I won't waste any love you have for me!

Are you a pig? You don't worry about getting fat by eating so much?

- You are the pig. I work hard using my brain! - Really.

Okay, enough of the flirting.

Guess who Yu Haoran left work early to meet?

- Let me think. - Yang Xun.

Yang Xun wants to borrow money from Yu Haoran?

He even got scolded by Yu Haoran.

So tragic?

He's a criminal, not deserving any sympathy.

Keep eating.

And then?

And then, that Yu Haoran was quite dedicated to working.

He went back to the office to work overtime.

Lao Liu is monitoring him.

Tomorrow is the weekend, and Yu Haoran's movements will be complicated. Who is responsible for tracking?

I am.

Sure, I won't worry then.

Why is it that you seem worried?

You must be thinking too much.

Come outside, and let me tell you something.

Sneaking off to chitchat again?

- Can I listen in? - No. - No.

Against the rules!

Du Meng, your condition looks good these few days.

How else then? Should I give you the dirty look?

What was wrong with you a few days ago?

Are you concealing some interesting gossip from me?

How about revealing some to me?

No way!

Boring.

What's wrong? You look so serious.

I'm meeting with your mom to eat lunch tomorrow.

So sudden?

Did my mom text you to push you?

My mom...

Aunt didn't push me.

She just texts me a lot, and expresses that she cares about me.

I already told her that you are very busy and not to bother you.

But my mom just won't listen.

You should be understanding. At our age,

our parents have become like kids.

We have to turn around to coax them.

My mom is the same.

However, after these contacts,

I think aunt is quite adorable.

I can handle it. You can rest assured.

They say a daughter is mother's dearest small padded jacket.

Looks like a girl understands a mother's feelings more.

Actually, that's why I wanted to discuss it with you.

Can you not show up at this lunch?

That's not possible.

You don't understand my mom.

Okay then. I've already made the reservation. It's guaranteed to be safe.

Send me the details and address before then.

Thanks for being so understanding of my mom.

We are helping each other. No need to say thanks to colleagues.

So simple?

Is this matter supposed to be complicated?

I'm especially curious.

What does my mom say in her texts to you?

What does she say?

She is asking me whether I've eaten food or drunk beverages,

or have I slept or rested, also...

she texted me someone's childhood photos,

and talked about some embarrassing things you did

when you were ignorant in adolescence.

She sent you my childhood photos?

And told you my embarrassing stories?

Tell me clearly. What exactly has she told you?

- Tell me. - Don't be so nervous.

What exactly did she say?

[ VIP Shop ]

Hello, Miao Lu.

If you are free tomorrow, how about we go to a movie?

I happen to have two tickets.

I-I won't be going. I don't usually watch movies.

That's because you've been too busy at work that you don't watch very many.

That's why you should have some fun and refresh your brain.

Just go with me. Do me a favor, okay?

Okay.

Good. I'll text you the address then.

Okay, okay.

Bye-bye.

You're laughing?

Look at you. You're dressed like this for such an important occasion.

Is this a joke?

What's wrong with my clothes?

Mom, it's just eating lunch.

Why does it have to be so formal?

You don't understand what I mean?

Yes, yes, I understand.

Mom, you are the face of our family.

It's enough if you look brilliant!

So you say.

I'm actually not used to it being dressed like this all of a sudden.

Mom, you are really too much.

You know what job An Jing has.

She is so busy, but you insist on having lunch with her.

Why do you sound like that I'm taking advantage of her?

I'm doing this all for you!

Yes, yes, you are always doing it for me.

Mom, I saw someone I know well. I'll go say hello.

Okay.

Pavilion Shopping Center

- Why are you here? - What are you doing here?

I... I'm meeting a friend to watch the movie.

A friend?

Who?

You don't know. It's just a friend.

You are a tech nerd and suddenly you're going to the movies?

Tell me, who is it?

Miao Lu!

No way!

Aren't you two progressing too fast?

No, no, it's really not so.

S-She wants to thank me, so she invited me to watch a movie.

Don't talk about it when you go back to the office, okay?

No problem. I understand.

My lips are sealed. Don't worry.

I won't talk about it.

- So the red string I pulled hasn't been wasted. - Sure. (T/N: meaning he did the matchmaking)

I'm leaving then. It will be too awkward to see her.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

- Thank you. - This way, please.

You've come.

Sister,

You are looking well now, and I'm at ease then.

- Thank you. - Hello, aunt.

This is your son? Such a spirited young man.

Come, come and sit.

We were just saying.

Our Ma Shang and your daughter are actually old classmates.

That's right. An Jing was just telling me

that you've known each other for over a dozen years.

It's more than just knowing.

Sister, don't you think our two families are fated?

Mom, here, drink some water.

Here.

Aunt.

Little An, you must work very hard at National Security, right?

It's alright. I'm used to it.

Young people want to achieve something, of course some hardship is unavoidable.

I just hope that she will stay safe and sound.

But her current job...

Mom, let's not talk about this.

Do you want to eat popcorn?

No, I don't eat that.

How is the competition to become Professor Zou's assistant?

Are you confident?

Not too much.

There are many engineers in the company,

so the probability of selecting me isn't too high.

I can help you.

How?

You should think clearly right from the start about this matter.

Look, among all these people,

you and Yu Haoran should be the two most promising ones.

But it's clearly not enough to only have strong abilities at work.

You can't only rely on capabilities. You also need connections!

Since everyone has similar qualifications,

then they have to look at behind-the-scene support, right?

I don't have any support.

You don't, but I do!

I can ask my sister for you. My sister can help you.

This is too big of a favor.

If it's because of the incident with Yang Xun

and you want to thank me, we're even already with watching the movie.

Why do you want to help me with such a big favor?

The movie has started, let's go. Let's go inside.

Sister, do you like those things that our little pony bought you?

- Things? - It was when you were first discharged from the hospital.

I originally wanted him to visit you.

But he always didn't want to bother you.

So we bought some items to send them over.

I don't even what he bought, whether they are good, or if you like them.

Aunt, this is what happened. I originally wanted to visit you,

but I couldn't go, so I bought some calming tea and a sleeping pillow.

So you bought them?

They are really useful. You're so good at shopping.

- Who is nagging you? - A really stubborn co-worker.

What's wrong?

He knew that you were sick, but couldn't come to visit you.

He insisted on buying gifts for you, I told him it wasn't necessary.

He said that I wasn't you, how could I speak for you?

Isn't he too stubborn?

- Ma Shang, where do you work? - I...

Him? He is working at Dinghua.

He in charge of the human resources department.

He is also busy from morning to night, always working late without regard for day and night.

Aren't things difficult for today's young people?

True. An executive in a big company, and also so handsome.

Why is he just like our An Jing, already at an older age but not married?

I think so too.

I've often asked him about this too, but he said

that he hasn't met anyone suitable.

Suitable or not, they have to get along.

Mom, why are you bring this up again?

What the elder says has its good reason.

You young people simply have too much of your own thoughts!

Our life experiences weren't earned for nothing.

That's right.

Ma Shang, look at how busy An Jing is at work.

As her old classmate and old friend,

why don't you get in touch more often?

Just look at whatever she may need usually,

you can go help her. Isn't this what friends should do?

I'll still say the same thing. You young people nowadays

really have

poor social relationships!

- How can that be? - I know, mom. I know.

You can't only focus on

how to get ahead and how to fight for a career.

In the end, when you discover that

family and friends are the most important to you,

- it may be already too late. - Right, right.

Sister, aren't I right?

That's right. But, you can't really blame Ma Shang.

Our An Jing is the same too.

- I also worry too. - That's right.

It's a call from work.

It's fine, you can answer it.

- Hello. - Section Chief An, it doesn't look good.

Yu Haoran picked up an envelope from an unknown man.

Any other situation?

Not yet. Still watching.

Okay, I'm coming over now.

An Jing, you have work to do?

Aunt, I'm so sorry.

It's nothing to apologize for. Work is important.

Don't worry. We'll send your mom

home safe and sound.

- Thank you. - No problem.

Then, let's get together another day.

Ma Shang, walk her out.

- I'm leaving then. - Okay.

Aunt, I'll walk her out.

Beware of your safety, okay?

What's the situation now?

Yu Haoran met an unidentified man.

They probably have a deal.

It should be fine with Du Meng doing the watch there.

Drive safe.

Oh yes.

There won't be another lunch meeting, will there?

Are you afraid?

I told you already that this lunch wasn't that easy!

These two are becoming good sisters.

It's pretty good, too. Just think, what if they become in-laws in the future,

they'll get along.

Don't take advantage of me now.

Why didn't say this inside?

I did want to say it just now.

But we are under special time constraints and have special status.

I can only sacrifice myself for the big picture.

For the mission, I'm sacrificing everything.

I'm leaving then.

Where is he going running in such a big circle?

I think Professor Zou lives around here.

Meng, our opponent has already executed two violent assaults leading to deaths.

Under the current situation, do you think we should initiate an intercept?

Yu Haoran just made the contact with an unidentified man.

If he is really going to Professor Zou— - No.

First of all, our primary mission is to follow Yu Haoran

to find his suspicious points.

Second, we don't know what Yu Haoran just picked up.

Third, Yu Haoran and Zou are colleagues. It's normal for them to meet.

We can't scare ourselves just because something has happened in the mission.

We also cannot refuse to take on any risks to stay safe.

Okay, we'll do what you say.

Wang Zuo, if Yu Haoran goes to Professor Zou's home,

you take over the tracking and must get hold of their conversation.

If anything special happens, report immediately.

Also, if Professor Zou is in danger,

you can take care of it immediately.

Understood.

- Professor Zou. - Engineer Yu, why are you here?

I have good news to tell you.

Come in and talk then.

- Section Chief An. - How is the situation?

Yu Haoran has gone to Professor Zou's home with an unknown purpose.

Wang Zuo is leading his men to do surveillance, but he can only use his phone's equipment to listen in.

I can't receive any signals here.

Okay, I'll be there soon.

Thank you.

Professor Zou, don't do so much. I'm leaving right away.

No rush, have some tea.

Is your wife not home?

She's shopping.

Engineer Yu, what do you want to tell me that has made you so happy?

Look.

Look at what is inside this.

How did you get this ticket?

I happen to have a friend who works at ticketing at the City Opera House.

He asked me if I wanted it. I suddenly remembered that you like operas.

So I asked for two tickets, and you can take your wife to go to the show.

This ticket is so difficult to get.

Thank you, thank you. Let me get money for you.

Professor Zou, I can't take your money!

You have given me so much guidance and care at work.

If you mention money, it's too formal.

- These are separate matters. - Professor Zou.

I absolutely will not take your money.

If you have to give it to me, then in the future, I won't be able to help you with something like this.

I won't bother you. I'm leaving then.

No... Don't rush.

When my wife gets back, we can eat together.

I-I still have to work overtime.

Sure, then I won't be courteous since you insist.

However, don't do this again.

Okay. Professor Zou, if any ticket isn't easy to get in the future,

just let me know.

- You... - Professor Zou, I'm leaving then. Don't bother to walk me out.

Okay, drive safe.

Don't worry. Oh yes, when your wife gets back, please say hi to her for me.

Thank you.

I'm leaving then.

- Thank you! - Don't mention it!

That kid.

Look, this is Deyang Walking Street.

I didn't notice at first.

I thought this guy was making a call or playing with his phone.

Now look at it here.

You are here?

How is it?

It was just a scare for nothing.

Thanks to Du Meng reacting on the spot,

we didn't alert Yu Haoran.

- Awesome! - Let me tell you good news.

I've found a particularly important clue. Come and see it.

I'll explain it from the start.

This is Deyang Walking Street.

Look at that.

After Zhou Lian crossed Deyang Walking Street, she reached Deyang Middle Road.

This man keeps following her.

After Zhou Lian crossed the alleyway, she reached Youyi Road's surveillance blind spot.

This is also where she got killed.

This man appeared for the last time here.

He disappeared after that.

I never discovered his trace again using the SkyEye system.

It's likely that this guy left in a car.

He could have also entered a small shop nearby.

- There is another possibility. - Follow Deqing Road and continue ahead.

Turn into Youyi Road at the next intersection.

Totally gets ahead of Zhou Lian.

Right. Neither surveillance camera was able to get his face. What does it mean?

It's likely that he deliberately used the umbrella to cover up his face.

Additionally, I ran SkyEye's gait characteristics program

and couldn't discover when he entered Deyang Walking Street.

It means that he very likely changed the characteristics of his gait.

Also, there are office buildings all around there.

It's full of people wearing suits and holding umbrellas.

You can't distinguish him based on clothing either.

Also, his physique doesn't particularly stand out.

Any recognition?

Actually, all of our attention at this time is focused on Zhou Lian's hands.

These are the two cameras that captured them.

I've double-checked it repeatedly.

Sky-Eye tracking system shows there only to be these two.

Never mind. I'll check it again later.

Looking at their movements and itinerary, is it possible to find a time gap for a weekly affair?

Oh right!

That business lunch, how'd it go?

That, how can I put it? Circumstances were very grim!

I really tried my best,

but the operation was too well run!

I was completely surprised!

You're such an idiot.

Make yourself useful!

Looking down at me...

They're all looking down at me!

Are you okay?

Xingchuang Science and Technology's CEO...

He's a big boss!

I recently visited Dinghua for a business discussion.

Want to talk business?

Doesn't hurt to get to know the circumstances of your partners first, right?

Won't you have a one on one chat with me?

I'm willing to.

I've got plenty of material here!

You can ask me anything,

I definitely won't stop talking until I've said it all!

The subject was photographed one final time...right here.

Let's take a look over there.

Sister Jing, have you found anything?

I am considering whether the subject could possibly felt this much fear of Zhou Lian.

It would indicate Zhou Lian herself is also aware of it.

It's very possible he may have threatened her life.

In this case, if the subject has a purpose in arriving at the scene,

it would be unlikely he would simply walk away after committing the crime.

I still don't understand.

On one hand, granted he could alter his own distinctive gait,

but there still would be the chance the Sky-Eye system could detect him.

On the other hand, a criminal's normal mentality

is to commit a crime, then quickly run away from the scene of the crime.

However, Zhou Lian's movement itinerary is completely random, the subject cannot possibly

prepare in advance his means of escape.

Right.

Steals a car.

Research to see if anybody in the vicinity lost a vehicle that day.

- Understood. - Understood.

I looked at the weekly R&D departmental report.

This data calculation is a lot slower than expected, right?

Data checks should have been done

at least once a month, now there's no time left!

There's still a lot of work to do.

What's going on here?

President Pang, it's like this.

Cheng Lei and I, we formed two groups to calculate the data in a different manner.

So then we put them together,

there appeared to be some problems when we repeated the operation, it was delayed over time.

Then why did you use different methods of calculation?

Then why didn't you two discuss a different way to integrate the calculations?

In calculating data, people often have their own methods,

and there's nothing wrong with either of these methods.

"No problem"? But it's taking longer!

You're taking an excessive amount of time, what a coincidence!

Which one of you is responsible for this?

The data consolidation and calculations are done mostly by a program,

but each individual group is made up of incomplete data.

This is done for security considerations.

Okay, got it!

Later, I am going round to Professor Zou to discuss this, this problem must be solved!

Okay, you guys can go.

Come in.

Professor Zou, are you busy?

I'm a scientific researcher...

Can you please stop bringing me so much administrative paperwork?

I'm short of time!

Really sorry about this, I need to delay you for two minutes

because this requires an expert, so I have to ask for your opinion.

Speak.

Yes, it's like this, they have this one team and they're supposed to come and hand over to me a weekly report.

I've looked at it,

the calculations were slower than expected.

Afterward, I found out the circumstances, found out that Cheng Lei along with Yu Haoran

operate their calculations in a completely different manner.

So every time we have to merge them together,

just because of this, it has delayed their work.

I was thinking. Can this data be calculated at the final stage,

and then be given to one group to finish?

Then... what thoughts do you have?

Yu Haoran's group is slightly more mature

and their performance is very outstanding. Their group has been working overtime for over a month.

After I told them my plans,

Yu Haoran immediately asked to be in charge of this.

Look, how about you leave the calculations

to Yu Haoran to do himself?

Then it's Yu Haoran. I don't have any opinions.

Ok. Then I won't bother you anymore.

Then it'll be like this. I have nothing to say anyway.

What are you talking about? I've been looking for you.

Director Ma.

Thank you.

Thank you, Director Ma.

Dating is not allowed during work hours, do you not know that?

Director Ma, I'm not in the mood for jokes.

Presidant Pang has announced it.

Director Ma. What's the situation here?

Engineer Cheng worked on the project for so long. He even handed it over.

In the end, everything will become Yu Haoran's.

Can you guys stop saying "Director Ma" this and "Director Ma" that?

There is no one else here.

About this,

I'm not really sure either. I wanted to ask you guys too.

I just received a notice this morning. Except for my group,

all the other groups are merged with Yu Haoran.

I asked around, and I found out that President Pang went to see Professor Zou.

They said Engineer Cheng and Engineer Yu working separately affects work efficiency.

So they just merged them into one group.

Forget it.

This project... is already to this stage.

They won't affect the overall situation even if they take it all in.

I just think that their motive is definitely not a matter of technical accounting.

I also wonder...

this matter may also directly affect who Professor Zou chooses to be an assistant.

Yu Haoran wants this position, right?

I don't think that's right.

It's Pang Yishan who wants Yu Haoran to get this position.

No. This situation can't just be forgotten.

I need to talk to my sister.

Professor Zou has already agreed. Whatever you say won't change anything.

You will only intensify the conflict if you do so. Everyone will have to work together in the future.

Then you can't bear everything like this.

They can take you down with just one sentence.

In the future, who knows what will happen?

Listen to me, don't go!

Looks like that this little girl really likes you.

Why is it so bad?

Hey, do you have any conscience?

She helped you get to this point!

Are you a scumbag?
