Storm Eye

Episode 33

Ah, crap.

Are you okay?

There's no signal there.

Unit Two, what's your location?

Section Chief, we are at the stairwell

and arriving at the predestined location soon.

Is the entire hotel having a power failure?

It seems so.

Du Meng and I are trapped in the lift now.

No need to wait. Go directly to the room.

Understood.

The scene is clear.

Come. Give me a hand.

Call for the ambulance now!

Okay.

Section Chief, we are in the room.

Qiao Xichuan committed suicide by slitting his wrist in the bathtub.

Lao Liu, don't tell me that Qiao Xichuan is dead.

There's still a pulse. I already called for the ambulance.

Stay vigilant. You must make sure he lives!

Understood.

Elder Sister Jing!

Are you back for the meeting?

I have something to tell you first.

The technology department has recovered part of the call log. I saw the report.

It concerns your father.

It can now be confirmed that

your father's case ten years ago, the person behind it was Qiao Xichuan.

Elder Sister Jing, there are sufficient clues now

for the two cases to be investigated together.

I will make those bastards

accept legal sanctions.

Also Sister Jing,

should we tell Auntie Su about this?

Let me think about what to tell her.

I think the more you think about it, the more it gets complicated.

It's better to get straight to the point.

Do you need me to go with you?

As a member of the bureau, I can make a detailed statement

on the process of discovering the truth

from a professional point of view.

Let me talk to her about this in person.

That's good too.

Thank you.

Director Qin, Department Chief Song.

Take a seat.

- I heard you were injured in action. - It's a small matter.

Why didn't you rest when you are injured?

Department Chief Song, did you approve her leave?

I did.

I'm really fine. I took the initiative to take on this case.

It's important to be enthusiastic about work,

but your health is equally important.

Thank you, Director Qin.

So did Yang Xun confess?

We held the interrogation last night.

Yang Xun refused to communicate with us.

He refused to confess and kept harping on the same thing.

"I didn't do it. I'm being wrongly accused. I want to see a lawyer." All of those.

Looks like he has prepared in advance.

Qiao Xichuan is in a coma now, and Yang Xun firmly believes that we don't have the evidence.

Hence, he refuses to talk.

How's Qiao Xichuan's condition?

The hospital said he has brain damage,

and may regain consciousness. However, the possibility

of his never regaining consciousness is higher.

Two suspects.

One is arrested, and refuses to talk.

The other is in a coma, and can't talk.

As long as we find the evidence, Yang Xun won't be able to hold on.

Are we able to find the evidence now?

In Qiao Xichuan's residence,

we found a lot of disguise equipment.

There's a wig, cane, various paints,

glues and also voice changing device.

According to Miao Fei and Miao Huanyang's testimonies,

it can be basically concluded that Qiao Xichuan is Su He.

Ten years ago, he threatened Miao Huanyang to conduct insider tradings.

Recently, he forced Miao Fei to steal the key.

Also, according to Fu Dayong's testimony,

we can also basically conclude that

He Ping is also Qiao Xichuan's other disguise.

It was he who planned to kidnap Fu Mengyao,

and force Fu Dayong to smuggle ore.

All of this was done by Qiao Xichuan.

What's most important is that we found Qiao Xichuan's destroyed computer.

The technology department worked overtime and recovered part of the data.

An Jing, tell us about this.

What is basically certain now is that Yang Xun and Qiao Xichuan

have planned the technical theft in Shuangqing and the ore smuggling case

inside and out.

Yang Xun is responsible for lurking inside Dinghua

to steal information and cover some activities when necessary.

Qiao Xichuan was in charge of all operations outside.

Zhou Lian was his direct subordinate,

but also the most important partner.

Jia Changan, Liu Baoqiang and Chen Can

were under his indirect orders.

According to what we know now, we can assume

that this Qiao Xichuan is ruthless and good at abandoning those in his grasp

to save his life.

There is reason to believe that he killed Jia Changan after Jia Changan was exposed,

and staged it as a suicide.

Zhou Lian's traffic accident may also be related to him.

This Qiao Xichuan

is not only related to the present case,

but also to the case from ten years ago.

He is even related to Comrade An Wei's sacrifice.

Let the hospital do everything possible

- to wake him up. - I understand.

Dad, what are you laughing at?

You have to give me some advice.

Since you dug the pit yourself, deal with it as you see fit.

You still know my mom best.

When the time comes, you have to give me a hand.

Did the unit allow you to say it?

Do not worry about it.

I have briefed the leader about it already.

Your mom...

so not take her as sharp-tongued, careless, and loud.

She won't forgive you if you do.

In fact, she is really soft-hearted.

I know that.

It is of no use to keep it secret. Tell her.

I will take responsibility for your mom.

All right.

Mom.

It smells good!

Does it?

Mom, I'll do it. I'll do it.

- Can you do it? - I can.

- Slowly, do not burn it. - Do not worry.

Mom...

I want to tell you something.

You have to prepare yourself mentally.

Don't cut your hand.

Your mom can't cut her hands even with her eyes closed.

Speak.

It's just...

I have been keeping my real place of work

secret from you because I really did not know how to break it to you.

Mom, you are not angry, right?

You brat,

you are finally willing to tell the truth?

Huh? You knew about it?

As for your state of affairs, you were never able to stay at home all day.

Every normal person would realize that something is wrong with you.

Do you think you could hide it from your own mom?

- That's true. - And your dad is really funny.

What's all this about a secret conversation between father and son?

He thought I could be fooled by this...

Mom, you cannot blame Dad for this.

I told him to keep it a secret.

Did you quit your job

because Dinghua met with a mishap?

So you are talking about this?

What should I be talking about then?

Mom,

I actually have another job.

To be exact, this is my actual work.

What work?

I started it right after I graduated from the university.

I entered the National Security Department.

I am from the National Security.

No... No...

Didn't you always work as a headhunter?

You also sent me photos from your work.

Once, your father and I traveled to Beijing

and visited your company.

Are you not that...

Both the headhunting job and working at Dinghua

were all superficial jobs.

It was my false identity when carrying out my tasks.

My real job is as a National Security investigator.

Mom...

won't you say something?

Give me a minute... Give me a minute...

Uh... put that bowl and chopsticks down first.

The food here is not bad.

Of course. This is the best restaurant in our city.

- Is that so? - The chefs here are famous all over the country.

- Wait a moment. - We'll tell her when she comes later.

All right. She is busy at work too.

I am sorry I am late.

An Jing, your mother was talking about you just now.

Sit down, sit down, sit down.

I was in a meeting all the time, so I came late.

Come, eat something.

They're somewhat cold.

Then I'll ask the waiter to heat it up.

All right.

Let's open a bottle of red wine.

Red wine? Why do you want to drink?

I am happy today.

All right. I'll choose a good bottle of wine.

Waiter.

Let's start.

It's fragrant.

What are you doing?

Eat. Eat, eat, eat.

There are so many dishes today.

Come, come. Have one.

What's wrong with you two?

Are you afraid that I am angry?

How could that be?

It is a very good job.

A direct subordinate of national ministries and commissions. It's very honorable!

Mom, I have been

keeping this from you, and I feel badly about it.

Why should you be?

It is common for public jobs that you are not able to talk openly about it.

I'm not as narrow-minded as your dad.

I don't care.

Why are you coming at me again... really...

To be honest,

now that I know you are from the National Security,

I am far more worried about your livelihood.

You probably earn less.

Is there a canteen in your unit? The food must be very good.

There is. There is.

Mom, you do not know it

but the food over there is really good!

It is also more secure to work in the system, right?

All right.

Son, do your best.

Mom supports you.

Thank you, Mom.

- Mom, let me do it, let me do it. - Come.

Little pony,

- but there are still a few words that Mom has to tell you. - Speak.

You have to pay attention to safety.

Your unit is like a crouching tiger and hidden dragon. (T/N: a place where people with unusual abilities are to be found)

There are people smarter than you, that are better than you.

There are a lot of people there.

You should do what you are capable of.

Don't blindly take jobs that are too dangerous.

Do not worry.

Your son knows himself well.

Also...

Do not think that you cannot marry because of your current job.

You have to marry and have children no matter what unit you work for!

- You are right. - Even if it is your private matter, I still have to say what I have to say.

Well, since we are talking about it, you and An Jing...

should belong to the same system.

We can say that.

An Jing belongs to Shuangqing City Bureau,

and I am with Beijing's section.

I didn't know her identity until I came back to Shuangqing this time.

Well if you put it this way, you'll have a better chance with her.

Eight or nine times out of ten.

That's good then.

In the future, you should be careful not to spill the beans.

That could hurt our son.

How could that be?

Am I the kind of person who can't keep the wind in my mouth?

I did not say you are. It was just a reminder.

Do you need to remind me of that?

I am the security assistant!

Do I need your reminder? Your dad, really...

Really, I should not even bother talking to you, really.

Uh... is An Jing aware of your identity?

What does she think about it?

As for this...

how about I ask it for you?

Why are you so deficient, Son? Who did you learn it from?

All right. Come, come, come. Try this soup that Mom cooked.

Come.

This child. You drank so much.

I didn't drink too much. I know how far to go, and when to stop.

Do not worry.

Meipei, An Jing.

You two just wait where you are.

I'll bring the car and see you off.

No need, Uncle Wang. Do not take us back today.

You both had a few drinks today.

Let me send you off.

Today, I want to stroll back with my mother and sober up.

All right. That's good too. Then take a walk with your mother, and pay attention to safety.

I will be going then.

- All right. - Goodbye.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye, Uncle Wang.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Usually, if I do not take the initiative to summon you,

you would not accept an invitation to eat with Lao Wang.

What happened today?

Nothing.

But since the last car accident, I find

that he is quite nice.

He is very concerned about you.

If I want to entrust you to him in the future, I must curry favor with him first, right?

Child, how can you talk like that?

You are really drunk.

I am not.

What I said is true. I hope you are happy.

You are not in the right state of mind today. What exactly happened?

Mom...

The things that have plagued us for so many years

have finally been investigated today.

But before I tell you, you have to promise me

that no matter what you hear later,

you will put this burden down

and live well in the future, all right?

Mom promises you.

An'An, say it.

Dad's death was not an accident.

It's just that I didn't expect

the case we're investigating now

would be related to the one from ten years ago.

Heaven has eyes, and evil is rewarded with evil.

Mom...

An'An,

Mom knows

that you can't say more about the details of the case.

I will only ask one question. Were all the people who

participated in your dad's murder caught?

Good.

Good.

One day,

we will visit your dad's grave and pass this message to him,

all right?

We will definitely go.

My mom told me to thank you

for helping me find out about my dad's case.

I accept auntie's sentiments.

I also told my mom that I'm working for the National Security Bureau,

but her reaction really surprised me.

What did auntie say?

My mom said the National Security Bureau is great.

There is a canteen and the food is good,

so she is at ease.

This sounds like the reaction I'd expect from auntie.

Being able to speak about your matters with your family

makes everyone feel relaxed. It's great.

- An Jing... - Ma Shang...

You go first.

You...do you want to be with me?

What did you say?

You... can you say it again?

We have met again ten years later

because of the Storm Eye operation.

A lot of things happened in the middle...

I originally didn't realize my feelings

but recently, I finally understood them.

Are you willing--

♫ It doesn't matter if you say your confession first ... ♫

I'm willing.

♫ You can lean on my shoulder if you want. ♫

An Jing...

Do you know how long I've waited for you?

When I saw you again after ten years

at the coffee shop back there,

your interchange with me was so cold

that it made me think you changed into a different person.

After we worked together,

I felt your sense of justice and fire in you.

You were independent and strong,

just like you were 10 years ago.

Later I figured out the truth about why you left,

I was so hurt for you. I want to protect you for life.

You feel grateful for me for solving your dad's case,

but every time I have a conflict with my dad,

you try your best to make us reconcile.

♫ The right love allows you to be yourself. ♫

Have you realized we are actually the same type of person?

At work, we're rational.

When we face family, we're emotional.

So many years have passed,

the tacit understanding between us has always been there.

♫ The right love allows you to be yourself. ♫

You.. do you want to reconsider it again?

Reconsider what?

Look at the type of person I am...I am not gentle or considerate...

I'm also not a naive girl.

Also because of work, I can't always be by your side.

♫ The right love allows you to be yourself. ♫

Because I believe that Section Chief An who can distinguish working hard and having a good life

will make a great wife.

♫ As long as we love each other ♫

♫ and remain unique. ♫

Department Chief Song.

Hello, Department Chief Song.

Okay. I'll return back to the office.

Ma Shang, work is number one for me.

It's so awful.

I just got a girlfriend, and now I'm about to start a long-distance relationship.

It's not really a long-distance relationship!

I just will separate from you for a bit while at work.

Actually, I asked you out today...

just to say goodbye.

The provincial department thinks we have enough evidence.

Although two suspects do not want to admit it

and the other one hasn't woken up,

this is just a matter of time.

They want me to withdraw from Dinghua.

I have written my resignation letter already.

You need to go back to Beijing?

Yes.

I'll leave in two days.

But... I still think there are doubts about our case.

It seems that the process of solving the case was smooth.

Our previous opponent was not so stupid.

However, I'm thinking the same as you.

Don't worry about it. National Security Bureau will be able to investigate this case clearly.

They won't let everyone's previous efforts go in vain.

Let's go.

- Are you leaving? - Yep.

Why don't you...

stay with me for a bit longer?

It's my leader's order. I need to do work.

Don't worry. Although I am a workaholic,

when I get a break, I'll go to Beijing to visit you.

When will you come to visit me?

Director Miao.

You were waiting for me.

Yes.

I was discussing some details of capital injection with state-owned enterprises.

I know.

Let's go in.

Sit down.

Thank you.

Speak. Is there something you want to talk about?

I'm preparing to resign. Here is my resignation.

You can look at it and let me know if there is a problem.

There is no problem. Whatever you wrote is fine.

Even if you didn't write anything, it would also be fine.

What kind of reaction is that?

Is the friendship between colleagues so weak?

Cut it out.

I knew you didn't belong here.

Before entering Dinghua, I was helped by Old President Miao.

And after coming in, I was helped by Young Director Miao.

Stop, you still could have come in without my father's help.

As for who took care of whom after coming in, it’s hard to say.

Alright. Then the two of us were helping each other.

We were fighting alongside one another.

In fact, I also plan to leave Dinghua in the near future.

I have had this idea since my father's incident happened.

I've made mistakes myself as well.

I am glad that

the country won't hold me accountable for not staying with the task.

Now that the state-owned enterprise wants to inject capital, my father's case will slowly be revealed.

It's better to leave with dignity.

With my capability, I think I can find a similar job. It shouldn't be too difficult.

As long as you've thought about it clearly.

I know you can't speak about this.

As long as we understand in each other's hearts, that's okay.

I also want to ask you...

Since you are going to resign...

is this case over?

Sort of.

I've always been thinking about one thing.

Who was it really who killed Jia Changan?

Before, I thought I vagualy thought

that it must have been someone who was working inside Dinghua.

You came to Dinghua to prove whether there is indeed a problem inside Dinghua,

but who is this person?

Only Pang Yishan, Yang Xun and Yu Haoran

were involved in important positions and are not in Dinghua now.

Pang Yishan has already surrendered.

He's unlikely to make such a decision at such

a critical moment.

I heard that Yu Haoran entered a startup company,

so it couldn't be him as well.

Then it's must be the person that is left, right?

You can guess,

but I am not able to answer this question for you.

It can only be Yang Xun then.

I don't really believe it's him.

Although he is not a good man,

I don't think he is the kind of ruthless person.

Even if he was the one to do this,

he acted too normally in front of me.

It's also possible that Yang Xun was only a person lurking inside Dinghua,

and the real killer was just using him.

Forget it. I know you also can't tell me.

As your colleague, I have a request.

The moment that you find the murderer,

tell me as soon as you can, okay?

No problem.

It's also possible,

that that Yang Xun was only a person lurking inside Dinghua,

and the real killer was just using him.

This dress is such a bargain.

But I like this brand, too.

I think this one is okay.

I think the one we just saw was better looking.

You order it. I think they all look nice.

What about this one?

Director Ma.

- You guys are also here. - Yes we are.

- I was just about to go find you. - What's up?

President Lin announced an appointment this morning.

The position of Professor Zou's Special Assistant is mine.

Really? You're good, Cheng Lei!

Right now... you are experiencing...

double happiness.

No, it's not that.

I still have a report to write. You guys chat, I'm going to get going.

What's wrong? You're really enviable and I'm jealous!

You're jealous of me?

An old driver like you would envy me? (old driver - a person with a lot of experience or skill but also a reference to a folk song with some flirty innuendos)

How did you know?

I'm very careful in the company.

You act it well, but I can see through that.

With your looks and temperament and financial strength,

a lot of flirtatious water must have flown in your life.

I am flattered, I am flattered.

As a person who's been through that,

I have to remind you. Relax a little.

Do you really like Miao Lu? Don't lie to that little girl.

I'm not that type of person.

Really?

Really, I'm not that guy.

Alright. I'm going to head back.

You have to treat me to a meal.

Another day.

It's me.

Miao Fei is still in Dinghua,

and the person suspected is also there.

Could I say your plan is not as good as you expected?

The NSS is obviously

not planning to close the case.

However, you are Professor Zou's assistant now.

And for that, you're welcome.

I have the ability to get there myself.

You know that?

But we helped you to create a safer identity, didn't we?

Your mission next will be very very simple.

Just get the technology and exit as soon as possible.

Really?

You think it's simple?

Do you know how much unexpected things I have done

just because you thought it's too simple,

and all of this would have exposed me?

Simple?

I will give you more based on your workload. Okay?

Oh, I'm sorry. I don't come for money. I'm nothing like Qiao.

You know what?

Just tell your dogs to stay out of my way before I step on them.

My people will appear whenever the time comes.

Otherwise, they will just disappear.

How come you're waiting here, and didn't get on the boat?

I was waiting for you. There is something I want to talk about.

I... I still haven't decided.

I don't mean it like that.

Why do you think I'm so weak?

I really do have something to say to you.

Then say it.

Good news. Bad news. Which one do you want to hear?

You are really a simpleton.

- Choose one now. - Alright, alright. I'll pick.

Start with the bad news first.

The bad news is...

I discussed the matter with Director Qin yesterday.

There are still suspicious spots in the case. We still have to search.

Don't you think it's bad?

If this case can be solved easily,

then it's bad.

You think that too?

Let's hear the good news then.

The good news is...

I probably won't leave. We have more things to work on.

It's obviously two pieces of bad news.

I'm getting on the boat.

Based on the current situation, the work of the task force

will continue.

You have talked about this matter already, right?

This time, whether its a comrade of the task force

or a member at the bureau, everyone has to put in an effort.

You will be under a lot of pressure.

I would like to thank everyone.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

So far, you have successfully held

the core issue of DS Materials' synthesis technology

and successfully arrested several spies.

You eliminated a huge amount of potential threats.

Since everyone agrees that this case isn't over yet,

then you should know

we will have to face a passive situation with no trace.

Miao Huanyang, Chen Can, Liu Baoqiang. These people have been arrested,

and can't provide any valuable information anymore.

The most important one, Qiao Xichuan, is still unconscious.

Does Qiao Xichuan's condition have a change?

He's still unconscious.

Where is he right now?

- People's Hospital. - People's Hospital?

Who is watching him?

Du Meng. After the meeting, I'll head over too.

Hey, Boss?

You must stop all the following actions

and hide your identity.

How long do you want me hidden?

I will give you message.

Got it.

Well done on Qiao. That's really good.

Of course.

I'm a professional. I don't leave track marks.
