Storm Eye

Episode 24

So many years have passed.

We, as mother and daughter, have never discussed this matter properly.

What do you think about it?

Mom, I love my dad

as much as you do.

In fact after the incident that year,

I was just like you, and I couldn't accept it,

that this incident was just an accident.

It's impossible that it was an accident!

Mom, Department Chief Song was the one who investigated the incident.

You can't suspect him of performing a superficial investigation, right?

Song Ming wouldn't do that.

An An, do you believe what I told you?

Mom, I know that after Dad's incident occurred,

many people have felt that

you still can't accept it, and you've become mentally unstable after the trauma.

But I believe in your keen sense.

I also believe that you have a reason to be persistent

about this matter over the years.

Therefore, I am asking you to believe me,

I have never felt "accident" will be the final result of this matter.

I will also promise you that I will not give up on investigating this matter.

In many cases, the clues are particularly well-hidden.

But as time goes on,

new evidence will continue to come up.

Who knows, Dad's incident

may have other doubtful points too.

Mom, you must believe that

justice may arrive late,

but it definitely won't be absent.

I've already given the test report of the hair sample to Director Qin.

While we wait for the news,

we must also aggressively look for other breakthroughs.

Ma Shang, what's going on at Dinghua?

All of Dinghua's energy is focused on the launch of the new product.

The final data will be verified soon.

Afterward, they will be sent to the manufacturer, and enter clinical verification.

For this new project, all the other work at Dinghua is put aside,

even including Professor Zou's artificial synthesis technology of the DS materials.

I've been curious about something.

Please say it.

If Professor Zou's research isn't completely finished yet,

why has the espionage organization started its operation so early?

They can't even steal the final data yet.

Once the final data are successfully announced,

all the patents will belong to Dinghua.

If they want to steal it after that,

they will face a huge fine

along with endless lawsuits.

I believe there is no buyer

who would bid for a technology that is already patented.

I understand.

So with Professor Zou's project being delayed, doesn't it give the other side more time?

Let's get back to our current focus.

What's going on with Yu Haoran's side?

Yu Haoran is backed by Pang Yishan.

In addition, he is quite capable himself.

I think he has a 90% chance of getting the position of special assistant.

But looking at the current situation,

we still haven't found any major suspicion regarding Yu Haoran.

Of course, except for his secretly changing the hard drive.

Aside from that, if we presume he is the person we've been looking for,

what can we do to force him to expose himself?

I have a rough idea now.

As long as Professor Zou will collaborate,

he will definitely make a move.

I'm leaving now, Lao Song.

Department Chief Song!

- What is it? - I want to chat with you about An Jing's father's case.

Found a lead?

The charity that helped Fan Dewei's daughter back then

also had Hermes Group's backing.

That international enterprise?

Impossible. I was in charge of the investigation at that time, how could I have left off such an obvious suspect?

The sponsor for that charity organization

was a small company in northern Europe.

It was only two years after the incident that Hermes formally acquired it.

You couldn't have found out about it at the time.

However, with only this much found,

we won't be able to solve this problem.

Right now, we have lost a critical trail,

- and we need your help. - Help with what?

We found that the accident-causing driver Fan Dewei has been released after serving his full sentence.

But we simply can't find him.

Du Meng and I are currently focusing all of our attention on the special operation.

Department Chief Song, we need your help.

Okay, wait for my news.

Thank you, Department Chief Song.

Hello?

Hi, it's me. I heard that auntie was emotionally unstable, and you are with her.

How is she now?

She has calmed down.

Why did she suddenly become emotionally unstable?

She and Uncle Wang talked about my father today,

so she got agitated.

She also asked me for the first time after all these years,

whether I really believed her.

How did you answer her?

I said that I believed her...

But I am not that sure actually.

That's why I haven't given up investigating my father's case for years.

But I've also been thinking...

Am I... Am I perhaps too subjective?

Maybe I am just like my mom,

I can't accept that it was an accident that took my father's life.

An Jing, it is impossible for anyone to be calm and objective

when something happens to their family.

Don't demand too much from yourself.

Besides, there is no final conclusion yet.

You must believe that we will definitely uncover the truth.

You are right.

Rest early then. Don't think too much.

I am indeed tired. You go ahead and rest early too. I'll go to bed too.

- Good night. - Good night.

Brother Yong, I have inquired about the dates to study abroad.

When will you pay the deposit?

They are rushing us, so we need to move faster.

Otherwise, if we miss it, we'll have to wait another year.

[Voice Message from Yang Xun]

Brother Yong, I've inquired out about the dates to study abroad.

When will you pay the deposit?

They are rushing us, so we need to move faster.

Otherwise, if we miss it, we'll have to wait another year.

Xiao Yang?

Can I bother you to delay this a little?

They want so much cash, I can't do it in such a short time.

I have to find a way.

Thank you for your help.

Hey, I heard that you've resigned

from Dinghua?

Coming.

Boss Yang, don't be nervous.

It's fine. It's fine.

Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous.

It's just that we haven't seen you for a long time,

so we came to visit you.

We just came for a visit.

What are you doing?

We agreed on one week, right?

It's not that time yet, right?

There's only a few days left.

President He's account is used

to pay interest for you every day.

Say, as a younger brother, can you not stand up for yourself?

Other people's money is money too.

I told you, you do not have to worry about it!

Hurry up and leave now!

I'm a man of my word. I'll definitely pay back the money when the time comes!

Boss Yang, it's like this. This may be the first time for you

to have this kind of conversation,

but we have heard it many times for over ten years.

If you want me to believe you, you have to show some sincerity.

Didn't we agree on this already?

What are you doing now?

You are talking about credibility here?

Your home is quite spacious.

Is it rented or bought?

Wait, this has nothing to do with you!

The three of you should leave now!

Otherwise, I'll call for the police!

Don't laugh, I'm really reporting you!

I rushed out this morning and didn't eat breakfast. Let me borrow your kitchen for a little while.

- Don't mess with my stuff. - Boss Yang.

Since talking to you does not work, should we try some action?

To tell you the truth, we're not leaving

until you return the money.

We'll just stay here with you, eat with you and live with you.

- Let me tell you— - Sit down.

You... This is illegal detention.

No, Boss Yang.

We are not restraining your freedom.

If you want to leave, you can do it anytime.

We'll just be your bodyguards... for free.

I asked everyone to attend today's meeting

because I'm announcing some good news.

The data calculation work at the R&D Department has been completed.

It's been sent over to all the manufacturers this morning.

The product will enter the clinical verification stage very soon.

I would like to especially thank Professor Zou here.

He spared no effort to support us for the smooth progress of the project.

He even delayed the development of his own project.

Of course, every department's leader and staff have been working hard.

Once this matter is settled,

Director Miao, let the Administration Center make the arrangements

to organize for each department to take turns to go abroad for team-building.

Let everyone relax a little.

All right.

In my opinion, the main person in charge of the data calculation,

Engineer Yu Haoran has made a great contribution.

Regarding Professor Zou's special assistant position,

the opinions of our management have also come out.

We all agree that Yu Haoran is very suitable

and can handle this position well.

Professor Zou, what do you think?

I can use anyone.

I think several of the young staff in the R&D Department are all very good.

Regarding who to use, who not to use, I have no opinion.

Very well, this matter is decided then.

Congratulations, Engineer Yu, this is tantamount to a promotion.

This means you will participate in the project of artificial syntheses of DS Materials.

Engineer Yu, don't pretend that you don't know us when you see us in the future, okay?

What are you saying?

Even though I'll be Professor Zou's assistant,

I will still in fact be in the same department as everyone else,

- at the same level. - Shouldn't we celebrate?

It's my treat tonight!

- Good! - Good!

Fantastic!

Where is Engineer Cheng?

Are you pondering about life by yourself here?

I thought I wouldn't care,

but I still can't let it go.

Have I lost based on my professional skills

being inferior, I would have nothing to say.

But I lost because I have no background.

I should have thought of such an outcome a long time ago.

What do you plan to do then?

Resign. I quit.

Resign?

It's not that bad, is it?

All the companies are the same these days.

I don't know about other companies.

But I'm totally disappointed in Dinghua. I came here to work on technology.

It's a matter of principle to making a living based on my skills.

But just because I don't like to take sides, Pang Yishan and they have been pushing me out on everything.

Do you think there is any need for me to stay?

Of course there is!

Cheng Lei, do you really plan to leave Dinghua?

I've basically decided to.

If I were you, I definitely would not leave.

Right, you have a sister who is an executive. I don't.

Actually, my sister vehemently opposed my coming to Dinghua.

She finally agreed to my interview, after I threatened her with my running away from home!

Just ask Ma Shang. He knows about it.

There is only one reason why I came to Dinghua.

It's because they have the best technology.

I can learn more by staying here.

I'll have more opportunities to prove myself.

I know that you all treat me as a kid.

But Cheng Lei, if you can't even understand this reasoning,

you aren't even as good as a kid like me.

If you leave, I will leave with you.

But I really hope that you will stay.

Your relationship... Do I need to keep it a secret?

The best method to keep a secret is to kill you right now.

That really scares me.

Lao Cheng, why don't you discipline your girlfriend?

Should we just kill him right here?

I say yes.

Please enjoy.

President He.

I beg you to help me.

I really have nowhere to turn to.

This... Didn't we already chat about it?

Such a large sum of money, no matter who,

no one will lend it to someone they just met.

Don't misunderstand, President He.

I'm not asking you to lend me money to repay my gambling debt.

I'm wondering if you can lend me some money...

to let me get out of here. I don't need much, really.

You want to run away?

Do you have the opportunity?

To tell you the truth, President He,

I have to find the opportunity even if there isn't any.

That gang of people has moved into my home.

If I can't repay the money, they will kill me!

I beg you, President He, you must save me this time.

Otherwise, I will have no other way out.

If you can hide from them, can you hide from the police?

Don't forget. You still owe money to Dinghua.

If you leave, they will definitely call the police.

What should I do?

I'm doomed! I'll die for sure.

- Waiter, bring tea. - And some snacks.

President He, can you trust me just once? Give me a chance?

Chance? What chance?

We can collaborate.

Even though I've left my job, I still have many connections. Not just at Dinghua,

but I'm very familiar with all the companies that I've collaborated with.

I have already pondered about the way you have shown me.

Other people can make that money,

why can't I?

President He,

I'm at wit's end.

I am fine with whatever you tell me to do. Really.

Yu Haoran has successfully become the special assistant.

Next, we can proceed with the next probe.

Okay, I will tell Department Chief Song first.

Let him introduce himself to Professor Zou.

There shouldn't be any problem.

Professor Zou has always been cooperative on anything related to security.

I'll say a few demoralizing words.

If Yu Haoran isn't the one we're looking for, what then?

Our observation of him during this period of time has shown that he doesn't look like a man who can lie dormant for that long.

Ma Shang, isn't there another person that you're interested in?

That... Cheng Lei?

I've observed Cheng Lei for a long time,

but I didn't discover anything.

Also, he almost resigned today because he lost the position.

How are things with Miao Fei recently?

Miao Fei lately... has been especially tranquil.

Especially tranquil?

Jia Changan and Zhou Lian were the two people she was most intimate with.

Both of them each harbored sinister motives, even more so leading to their final departure.

Her father also met with a mishap.

So how can she possibly be especially tranquil?

Right now, Miao Fei's situation, I'm not really sure about it.

Moreover, recently I've had very little contact with her.

That's also good though.

Her sister, Miao Lu, has barely entered Dinghua.

That young lady though is one who can't hide away her feelings.

I may follow her there to find out some information.

Oh right. How are things with auntie? How are things at home?

Nothing's wrong, rest assured.

Do you have a reservation?

- Meeting some people. - Please come inside.

Hurry up now!

You're here.

- Brother Yong! - Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang!

I would like to introduce you to someone, this is my good friend

Mr. Zhang, a study-abroad adviser for over ten years now.

Boss Fu, and his daughter, Fu Mengyao.

- Hello, Mr. Zhang. I'm Fu Dayong. - Hello.

Hi, it so happens I want my entire family organize to study abroad and then come back.

Other people have told me this can be a difficult situation. I hope in the future, I can count on you.

- At the moment, there are a lot of study-abroad organizations that take your money but don't handle things. - Yes, yes.

I'll look after your very bright daughter, I don't think there's anything difficult about this matter.

I'm extremely grateful!

Lao Zhang, take his daughter over there to discuss the situation. I'll go with Boss Fu to discuss the details.

Very well. Young lady, let's sit over there.

Hurry up! Put your phone down, that's ill-mannered!

Let them talk.

Rest assured, Brother Yong, when my friend sets out to do something, there's nothing he can't do!

Well all right then!

Also on this one matter, I actually think I may have found you a solution.

Tell me about it.

The other day, you asked me if I'd quit my job at Dinghua.

An urgent matter came up for me that day, and so I did not get back to you.

I did change jobs, and I am now working at a new company.

Really? It must a promotion!

Otherwise, why would you want to change jobs?

I'm a man on the way up, and now I'm a vice president!

Then I'll just have to call you "President Yang"!

Brother Yong, you're making fun of me! My current company is called "Xingchuang Technology".

They also do DS materials related business.

We can collaborate together sometime!

It's a must!

- A must! - We must collaborate.

But Lao Yang, you know that

I have collaborated with that Dinghua for years now.

Now all the sudden, you had to go work for someone else?

I'm afraid President Pang, they won't be happy?

Yes.

You don't know anything about them?

Then let me tell you a little bit about their culture.

All right. You can discuss it with me in Chinese.

I know a little English.

For example... Bye-bye!

- Yao Yao! Come back here! You! This—! - Brother Yong.

- What's going on here? - Lao Zhang, what happened?

Yang Xun! I've got something I need to do, I'm going!

Hey, sorry about that, Lao Zhang!

I-I'll send you a message on WeChat later, Lao Zhang!

This...this is...this is so embarrassing!

- You're telling me! Sit down, sit sit! - This...

- Sit down, Brother Yong. - What do you call this!

What's wrong with this!

You think nowadays it's easy to raise a child, I know she's at that age, in her rebellious youth!

I get it. You don't have to worry, I have an even more reliable friend.

Take it easy.

Oh? Thank you!

- Want something to drink? - No, no, no.

Waiter, waiter!

What is Yong doing?

He's working with Yang. Looks like he's using him to get to the mineral resource.

Seemed to me my smuggler's back in business.

Some good news, huh?

Boss, did you think he'd be this stupid?

My smuggling is just part of the card rub,

you don't think he'll see through it?

It's not definite. Trust me when I say it.

I've known him for years.

The more obedient he is, the more nervous I feel.

Understood.

Brother Yong, I won't see you off further.

- See you later! - Take it easy!

President He.

Fu Dayong is very shrewd and has Dinghua as his backer.

I'm afraid it will be hard for him to let go of it and cooperate with us easily.

There is no need to rush him. The road to happiness is strewn with setbacks.

- Yes. - As for his daughter, I'll find a way to make it work.

Do not mention me in this matter. Make him remember that he owes you a favor.

- All right. - By the way,

are those debt collectors still following you?

- I have to thank you for helping me with this. - Stop it.

Do not get me wrong. I just took care of the people in the gambling house

just to give you some time. I did not repay your debts though.

Our current relationship is a partnership. We have equal status.

Don't feel that you owe me something.

In fact, the more you say it, the more I have to memorize it.

You are much better than those smiling tigers outside. I have also figured it out. (T/N: smiling tiger―outwardly kind but inwardly cruel person)

As long as our cooperation succeeds, my debt borrowed from others will be nothing but a fart.

How is it?

I found him.

So quick?

I will pick you up, and we'll go to him.

Not yet.

What is it?

I don't know how to tell you, but I feel something has happened here in Dinghua. When I wanted to make inquiries about it

you called.

How about this. You do your thing and I'll go find Fan Dewei.

Don't be too anxious. Let's think of a strategy first.

The accident of that year was legally acknowledged as an accident.

We have nothing we can grasp onto.

It will not be easy for you to trap him.

All right. Let's do this today then. Bye-bye.

You know about this, right?

Know about what?

The emergency meeting. Something happened.

Director Miao, what exactly happened?

There is something wrong with the medical device sent for clinical verification.

Medical malpractice? Are you sure it's our company's product?

We do not know it yet. No matter who is responsible for it, Dinghua is definitely in trouble.

Have you heard from the hospital yet?

Not yet. There shouldn't be any news so soon.

Engineer Yu, there is one thing I need you to explain.

I received a message this morning

that there was a medical accident during the clinical verification of our medical equipment.

And it did not happen in one hospital only.

The data parameters of the core design were verified by you.

President Lin, it's impossible.

There was no problem with the prototype simulator during the test

and the core data have been verified by me repeatedly.

It couldn't go more and more wrong, could it?

There must be a mistake of the production side.

I will naturally verify this.

However, the manufacturer of the original core

has cooperated with well-known research institutes all over the world, and there has never been any problems.

President Lin, there can't be a problem on my side as well.

Go and call Professor Zou and Engineer Wang over.

Engineer Yu, go back to the office first.

You are right. I shouldn't blame you for anything

until I know who's responsible.

It's my fault.

Engineer Yu, this matter should be kept strictly confidential.

President Lin, in this matter, I think the more important thing

besides finding out the reason is to suppress it first.

We mustn't let the media expose it. [ DINGHUA GROUP'S MEDICAL DEVICE PRODUCTS' CLINICAL TESTING ]

This exposure will have a bad effect on us. [ MEDICAL ACCIDENT OCCURRED DURING THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS ]

President Lin, it is too late already.

Every step of all the projects launched by Dinghua

has a rigorous verification mechanism.

We will actively cooperate with relevant departments to investigate the problem that occurred this time.

- He Zixuan, put me through to Ma Shang. - We have to talk to the relevant departments about this...

- We will give everyone a satisfactory answer after consultation. - How are you going to solve it then?

No matter how we solve it, I hope that everyone...

will not trust those hearsay remarks...

Hello?

Ma Shang, Ma Shang. How is your situation over there?

It's a pure mess now. President Lin is dealing with the reporters.

I know, we are also watching it here.

Does Dinghua have any countermeasures?

Not yet.

I think that this incident is a conspiracy against Dinghua.

Things have just happened and haven't been investigated yet,

but all the reports point out that there is something wrong with Dinghua's products.

I think your analysis is very reasonable.

I suspect that this incident is a follow-up to the theft of the key.

The information leaked by Yu Haoran is probably the relevant data of medical devices.

What purpose could Yu Haoran have?

He finally became Professor Zou's assistant.

This accident will definitely ruin his future.

How about this. Let's first investigate the manufacturers that Dinghua cooperates with

and the hospitals where the accidents happened, and figure out our strategy then.

All right.

We'll start with collecting information on relevant personnel first

- and decide how to carry it out when you come back. - All right.

Go and check the data.

[ DINGHUA GROUP'S MEDICAL DEVICE PRODUCTS' CLINICAL TESTING - MEDICAL ACCIDENT OCCURRED DURING THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS ]

Serves them right!

They are doing all these fake things every day. I knew something was going to happen sooner or later.

It is inevitable that there will be some problems when the company is so big.

It seems that Dinghua is going to make a big stumble this time.

A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. They may drag it down for a while. (T/N: when the mighty fall, they continue to command more influence than the ordinary)

But...

if Dinghua doesn't stumble, we won't have a chance.

What do you mean?

Don't you think

it's time to contact Fu Dayong again?

He is a sensible man.

If something happens to Dinghua, he will find a way back for himself.

What is it?

President He,

did you know that something was going to happen to Dinghua?

You did not seem anxious when Fu Dayong

refused to cooperate with us before?

Sorry, I have to pick up the phone.

All right.

I'm outside.

Make it quick.

All right. What you plan to do next?

How can I cooperate with you?

Relax. It's not the time.

Just wait until Dinghua's shares start dropping,

then we'll make our move.

Okay. I trust you.

Let me know if you need anything from me.

I will fully cooperate with you.

So spicy!

Is there anything you want to ask?

No.

It's all right.

We are in a cooperative partnership.

If you want to ask, I will tell you.

The person that called you just now is your boss behind the scenes, right?

I have no boss behind the scenes. That's a friend of mine.

He took care of Fu Mengyao's study abroad.

That's good.

President He,

you have to do more than just to smuggle ore, do you?

Is this matter not important enough?

Yang Xun, greed never comes to a good end.

Haven't you lost enough money in a gambling house to learn this lesson?

Yes.

My meaning exactly. Let's concentrate on this business only.

- All right then. - All right.

How big is the impact of this accident on Dinghua?

It is no exaggeration to say that it is catastrophic.

Has Dinghua internally determined the cause of the accident?

At present Professor Zou is in the process of examining everything with Cheng Lei.

Department Chief Song, I suspect that this matter

is related to Yu Haoran's leak and the case of key theft.

But I think Du Meng's analysis is also reasonable.

If it really was Yu Haoran, what would his purpose of his doing so be?

What could he gain from it?

This matter is very disadvantageous to him.

I agree with this. By doing so, he is destroying his future.

Moreover, he would not have the chance to approach Professor Zou

and the artificial synthesis technology of DS Materials.

All his previous efforts would be in vain.

Was it done to play for time?

Play for time?

Ma Shang just said that this accident was catastrophic.

If they can't get through this difficulty,

it will greatly affect all their R&D technologies,

including DS artificial synthesis technology.

I know.

We've discussed this before.

Once the synthesis technology is fully verified and patented,

it will be meaningless to steal it.

I disagree with this.

The value of DS Materials in precision guidance can not be measured by money.

Even if Dinghua applied for a patent, it would not stop others from stealing it

because of its strategic significance.

But according to the clues we have so far,

the other party is not a national espionage organization.

Therefore, their ultimate goal is to make a profit.

If they were to steal a patented synthetic technology,

it would greatly reduce their profits.

To put it bluntly, they harm others for their own benefit.

An Jing, did you find person liable for the hospitals and manufacturers?

I did.

Split up. Determine the cause of the accident as soon as possible.

Only by mastering this can we make the next arrangement.

Understood!

I am back!

This...

Dad... what's the matter with you?

Did you quarrel with my mom again?

Quarrel?

Your mother is very capable now. How could I quarrel with her?

Look, is it not quarreling?

Where is my mom?

I don't know.

Mom...
