[Episode 16]

Out with it.

Why did you approach Qiu Jianing behind my back?

You know, if you mess something up,

my plan will be compromised.

I just wanted to check and see

if you had actually fallen for Qiu Jianing.

Brother, do you know,

that when you talk about her now,

it doesn't matter if it's the tone or your expression,

it is already of a man in love.

Like I said,

I'm doing it like this to gain her trust.

No. If you were acting,

it would be just in front of her.

But when you are with me,

even with me, you can't hide your affections for her.

Brother, have you really fallen for Qiu Jianing?

- Has it become real?
- Don't talk nonsense!

Then, why were you so panicked when she misunderstood you? Do you think I'm blind?

You are like Uncle Zha.

Neither of you trusts me, do you?

Brother, I am on your side!

I didn't tell him about you two.

But I do worry...

Brother!

I'm telling you one last time.

Everything I do is to complete the mission.

If you get reckless again

and the mission fails, you will be responsible.

Brother!

Your scar...

I was naughty as a child.

Sister...

A-Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Sit down, Sister.

I found out today... Mo Li is Zhou Xiaoshan's little sister.

- Little sister?
- Don't you know?

You two are so close. How come he never told you?

It's so weird.

Sister, I remembered another thing! Do you know how Mo Li and I met?

How?

One day, you were in the shower and the phone rang.

You asked me to pick it up. So I did.

It was a sales call from the MMA academy, and Mo Li was the caller.

It was meant to lure you,

yet by mistake, I ended up going for the class.

- Don't you think—
- Can I ask you something?

Ask away.

Can you determine the cause of an injury from a scar?

You can. Blunt force leaves larger scars

yet shallow wounds. Sharp objects leave smaller wounds

but they are deeper.

Say on someone's chest there is a scar this long...

Could it be caused by a knife?

Very likely.

Sister, why are you asking?

I was reading a detective novel.

Just verifying some details.

Since when were you interested in detective novels?

Sister?

Dearest Bass, long time no see. How are you doing at Merck Group?

I have a favor to ask.

The number you called...

I need some time to calm down.

[AoYoung Hospital]

Well, well, well...

Impressive. You haven't moved an inch since your shift started.

- Are you glued to your chair?
- I say, Master,

are you over being rejected already?

Nope. I'm just amazed.

What a top-class mentor I am.

Leaving your student in the jungle and leaving. Top-class indeed.

Well, you've been desk-bound all day. Let's go check on the patients. Let's take a walk.

Now you think of me? No way.

- Come.
- I don't want to.

- Are you coming or not?
- I'm not going. I haven't finished my work yet. You go.

Bye.

- Dr. Qiu, someone is looking for you.
- Who is it?

- Okay, Xiao Tang, you can go and work.
- Okay.

What do you want?

- Jiaxin, about that day...
- I'm working. Personal matters can wait.

You seem to have misunderstood.

Mo Li, there seems to be some funny business between you and Zhou Xiaoshan.

My sister and I would rather stay out of it.

It's not what you think. He really is my brother.

Do you think I'm stupid? How could there be something so coincidental?

You are Zhou Xiaoshan's sister. You happened to call Jianing.

Knowing I'm her sister, and you chose not to tell me about your relationship with Zhou Xiaoshan?

Mo Li, I'm really disappointed in you.

No, Jiaxin.

My brother and I... we keep things to ourselves.

We are not used to telling others.

So I'm also "others" to you?

As is my sister to Zhou Xiaoshan?

That's not what I meant.

Mo Li, friends can tell each other anything.

Just like me. I have told you everything!

Even if you two weren't siblings, but lovers, I wouldn't blame you if you told me.

At least you didn't lie to me.

Mo Li, please don't find me anymore.

He is my brother, just not by blood. When we were kids, he saved my life.

Jiaxin, if you still think I'm hiding something from you,

I will tell you about my past.

Qiu Jianing, can we talk?

I'm busy. We can talk after work.

[Inpatient Department]

Jiaxin?

You think I'm a horrible person?

That someone like me... can't be your friend?

Too much to process.

I need a moment.

Hello? Professor Xiao from the technical team?

It's me.

I am Qiu Jianing. I have a question.

The mice's blood samples from last week show large data variance.

Yet starting from this week, the variance has decreased.

Have any parameters been changed?

Actually, I have already made some inquiries.

Nobody informed me of any changes.

It could be that the lab technician

is inexperienced in performing injections. That's why there is a difference.

[Mice Blood Sample Data]

[Animal Experimental Statistics]

[Animal Experimental Statistics]

[Experimental Statistics]

Why is the data in Section 5 a little higher than all the others?

- Hello.
- Hello.

Was it Yang Haiquan who performed injections for Section 5?

- Yes.
- Where is he now?

He is in the Incubation Room.

I got it.

Please exit through the backdoor.

Thank you.

Yang Haiquan.

Professor Qiu, you're here.

I checked the report. The data for Section 5, to which you are assigned,

shows some abnormalities in one group.

- Are the rest of the groups normal?
- Normal.

Could it be normal fluctuation in an experiment?

If it's normal fluctuation, it should also appear in other groups.

But it only appeared in one group.

Professor Qiu, I think the experiment may have been interfered with.

You don't need to panic. I'm just trying to understand the situation.

When on duty, did you ever leave the reagent unattended?

- Definitely not.
- Then has anyone suspicious come inside?

No...

It's just our colleagues.

- Colleagues?
- Yes.

I come here at 1:00 p.m. every day to start the injections,

and Zhou Xiaoshan will also often come by to record the numbers.

Hello, Bass. Any news on what I asked you to investigate?

I'm so impressed by his resume.

It's been sent to you. Check it out.

Wait a moment. Let me take a look.

[2017-2018]

He was the Assistant Researcher in Merck.

Focusing in development of the new drug

for prostate cancer.

Bass, in your email, you didn't mention

why he left Merck Group.

This is also what I'm confused of.

Maybe there's something else he needs in the Original Life.

Okay, I got it.

What is it?

Your takeaway.

I didn't order any takeaway. Do you have the wrong person?

The green dumplings are already here. Thanks!

Ma'am, please sign and rate our service. Thank you!

[Drug Therapy for Prostate Research Cancer Anticancer, 2018, 2, 34-36]

Don't you think you're hiding too much from me?

With regards to Mo Li, I can explain.

What can you explain?

Are you explaining why she was hugging you so intimately,

or explaining why you've never told me you had a little sister?

Or are you going to explain why she pretended to be a delivery worker

to spy on me?

I didn't order green dumplings that day,

but she insisted that I accept it.

Just as I was about to call to confirm, you appeared.

You helped her out.

If I remember correctly, that takeaway delivery driver was Mo Li. Right?

And the phone call from the MMA academy. That was Mo Li, too.

I don't care if she keeps changing jobs all the time.

But why is it that it's related to me every single time?

Her story is a bit complicated. But I can explain.

Okay. Let's not talk about Mo Li for now.

Let's talk about other things.

One of the mice group Yang Haiquan was assigned

showed a data abnormality.

According to him, every day when he started injections at 1:00 p.m.,

he always met you. You were recording the numbers.

Yes.

It was you who assigned us the task

to randomly document experiment data

and report to you regularly

for the avoidance of potential risks, is it not?

Yet every time the technician conducts injections,

you're the one who went every single time. It's too much of a coincidence, right?

Wait a moment.

The data our group collected.

[PLAN O]

All the relevant details you want to know about, are in it.

Take your time to compare them.

Professor Qiu, I can tell you right now

the reason behind my frequent presence at the lab

for data collection while injections are performed.

It is because the data from Section 5 showed a large variance.

And I suspected it was caused

by Yang Haiquan's inexperience.

So I gave him some corrective instructions.

That's why, in the following week,

you saw that the variance decreased.

Why did you leave the Merck research team?

What do you mean by that?

Merck Group, one of the global top-10 multinational enterprises.

They have invested billions of dollars annually.

And you, Zhou Xiaoshan, have no reason

to leave all the extraordinary treatment and environment

to join Plan-O. Why?

You investigated me.

- What else did you find?
- Is this not enough?

It's all but the tip of the iceberg.

If you have the ability to investigate me, why didn't you try to find out why I left?

Let me tell you. In the beginning,

I put so much effort into the experiment, in my work.

But because I worked too hard,

my peers got criticized for not working hard enough.

And so they isolated me, transferred me to another team. And this time,

I learned to keep the same workload as everyone else,

but I ended up being assigned the most time-consuming, energy-draining tasks.

I was very tired and felt very hopeless.

When there were one or two times when I wasn't able to complete my tasks,

just like that, I was kicked out again.

Fine, another team, then.

This time. Guess what the reason was this time?

After the third time, I finally understood that

in their eyes, this Asian nobody

was unqualified to work in the scientific field with them.

If I say I left that "extraordinary treatment and environment" company because of discrimination,

you wouldn't believe me, would you?

Or do I have to be like you,

plagiarized and humiliated, to look convincing?

Then, what about everything else?

That sister of yours

and the scar on your chest. Do you know what all of this proves?

It proves that you are not an ordinary researcher.

How do you explain all of this?

- I can't explain this.
- Then, what do you really want?

Qiu Jianing, do you have to be like this?

Yes.

I don't regret it.

You don't regret it?

Fine.

Let me take you to a place.

Where are we going?

All the questions you've raised,

I can give you answers to all of them.

It's just that this answer means that I will lose you.

[Prison Museum]

Why did you bring me here?

The scar on my chest

is something I got while I was in prison.

When I was younger, I made a mistake and was put in jail.

I was tortured. It was Uncle Zha who saved me.

Uncle Zha.

From then onward, he helped me financially and sent me to a school in the city.

He provided for me, treating me as his own son.

Then, what about Mo Li?

She was also adopted by Uncle Zha.

We share a similar past, both under Uncle Zha's protection.

In day-to-day life, I've always been caring for her and protecting her.

She relies on me as if I'm her family member.

So when you appeared,

she gots afraid of losing me.

Our relationship won't affect your sibling relationship.

Her family is but a few.

So she can't stand the fear of losing someone.

Qiu Jianing, this world is filled with too much darkness.

It's such darkness that someone like you wouldn't be able to experience.

Why did you hide all of this from me?

Were you scared that once I found out, I'd look down on you?

Reincarnation... is part of a branch of life.

Some are lucky, some are not.

No one has a choice.

The fact that you've been able to come out of that kind of place and arrive here is already amazing.

I don't need comfort. I really don't.

Did you know? Not everyone has the courage to fight against fate.

Zhou Xiaoshan,

I do not despise fighters.

I just hate evil people.

This is where we part our ways.

What do you mean by that?

Are you... breaking up with me?

- I already told you I—
- We're from two different worlds.

It's impossible for us to walk on the same path.

Then...

- if it's like this, originally—
- Qiu Jianing,

perhaps since that Foolish Wolf,

I already had feelings for you.

You let me believe

that pure goodness still exists.

I have hesitated and struggled before.

Yet I can't escape my weakness.

Your weakness....?

Who doesn't want to be in love?

If that's the case...

We're like the sun and the moon.

Day and night.

Even if I love you,

we can't be together.

♫ Let time halt and freeze all motion ♫

♫ Just give up on the pull of meaningless entanglement ♫

♫ Win the battle for you ♫

♫ Win for you ♫

You were suspected

and you explained things to her. Did she believe it?

She did and didn't.

Then there's still a chance, right?

Xiaoshan, what do you plan to do next?

What's happening with Qiu Jianing?

I told a modest lie. She is convinced about you.

But it didn't completely eliminate

her suspicion against me at work.

Then, what do we do?

Keep lying.

Fetch me the cable.

Once suspicion takes root, it is very hard to get rid of.

Once you tell one lie, you need a thousand more to keep it hidden.

Brother...

What else do you need me to get?

There's no need.

Come inside, please.

Professor Qiu, what's up?

- Can you do me a favor?
- Go ahead.

I would like to conduct some random checks on the experiment.

Can you show me a few days' worth of surveillance footage?

- No problem.
- Thanks.

This is the footage you've requested.

You are looking at the last timestamp.

Can you pause it? Are you able to zoom in?

Yes.

It's already at its largest.

It doesn't look like there are any issues. Continue with your work. Thanks.

No problem.

Hello.

Hello, I am Qiu Jianing.

Can you send all of last Wednesday's and Thursday's footage to my email?

I want to find something.

Okay, Professor Qiu. I'll send it immediately.

Thanks.

♫ You asked me if I've ever seen the most magnificant flame ♫

♫ A flame that never burns out and keeps on burning ♫

♫ The sea and land breaks down the barrier along the coastline ♫

♫ Waiting to cross to the other side ♫
[Be careful. Don't get hurt]

♫ Our boat is drifting in the endless, deep sea ♫

♫ But we are never afraid losing our way ♫

♫ Because we are sailing towards the beautiful scenery ♫

Wow.

Rat Flowers...here?

What?

They are called "Rat Flowers," or Pulsatilla Chinensis, it can even be used as an herb in traditional Chinese medicine.

It's pretty. Why "rat"?

Because... this type of flower thrives on mouse droppings

as its fertilizer. Thus the name.

No way.

Try it yourself and see.

If you're lying to me, how do we deal with this?

You can punish me however you like.

♫ Tenderly ♫

♫ entrusting all hope ♫

You lied to me.

"Rat Flowers" are cold-resistant and draught-enduring. They don't need mouse droppings for fertilizer.

Why did you come up here?

I checked the surveillance. As you said, the data is problematic.

- So...
- So you think I sneaked around at the lab

because I had other motives?

But you didn't think that I just treated your joke seriously.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood you.

You don't need to apologize. It's normal for you to suspect me

because we're from two different worlds.

You deserve better.

I'm of humble birth and you are from a wealthy family.

My past is very complicated but yours is simple and clean.

I should face the reality now.

Zhou Xiaoshan, a person can't control where they're born.

Even though I can't completely understand the pain you've gone through in the past,

but since we're standing together now in the same world,

you can't just isolate yourself.

- Zhou Xiaoshan, I don't despise—
- You don't need to explain.

I'm sorry.

If he's upset, you should explain things to him.

But he won't listen to my explanation.

Just because he's not listening, you're not going to continue explaining?

Then what can I do?

It means you don't care about him enough.

If you really love him, you would keep a hold on him and keep explaining.

Only then can you prove your love for him.

Will that really work?

Listen to me and you'll be fine.

- Thank you.
- No worries.

Okay, okay. I'll talk to you later.

Brother, you've actually already got the formula.

If you break up with Qiu Jianing and resign now, it's a great time to break up and resign right now.

I've run tests on the two reagents.

One is indeed a placebo.

Because the sample was too small for the other one, I wasn't able to figure out the formula.

So you're saying that you failed the mission this time?

I must stay undercover.

Mo Li, listen to me.

Qiu Jianing's trust towards me is very important.

You should know this very well.

Come out with me for a little bit.

Work-related things. I'll wait for you at our usual place.

Professor Qiu, why are you looking for me?

Listen to my explanation.

Okay, go ahead.

It was wrong of me to misunderstand you.

I suspected you not because of the differences between us.

So can you forgive me?

Yes.

You're not mad?

I was never mad at you.

I was mad at myself.

Professor Qiu, I don't deserve you.

You should suspect me. You don't need to blame yourself.

No, no. Listen to me explain.

Okay, go ahead.

You're not saying anything else? Then I'm leaving.

That's just pouting. He wants attention. Just be sweet to him.

Won't he forgive you then?

Yeah.

Sister, sister, sister! I'm hanging up now.

Sister, what are you mumbling about?

Nothing.

Did you fight with Zhou Xiaoshan?

No.

That's too quick. You are pretending!

Sister, did you really fight with him?

Why?

I suspected that Xiaoshan joined the lab with another motive.

But later I discovered that I misunderstood him, so I tried to explain things to him.

But he isn't willing to forgive me.

This Zhou Xiaoshan. Give him a little sunshine and he feels splendid all of a sudden. He's probably enjoying it.

I should let my master know.

"Rival backed off. Now or never!"

Hey, hey! Stop creating trouble for me, okay?

Don't be sad anymore.

Do you have any methods I can use to get him to forgive me?

Yes or no? Why are you smiling?

You can try to convince him.

I've already tried explaining things to him many times but he just won't listen.

What else can I do?

Then your convincing ability isn't sincere enough.

Don't worry. Leave it to me.

Then I'll leave it to you.

Here, have some chocolate. It tastes great with coffee.

Now you are talking.

It's delicious.

What do you want?

Spot check, to see if there are any potential threats.

Zhou Xiaoshan, why are you putting on so much air. She already apologized. What more do you want?

This is something between me and your sister.

I know it! You are going all-cool mode.

Only the dumb Qiu Jianing would fall for it.

What if I tell my master about your fall-out?

You would dare to.

Here's a message for you: "8:30, meet me at 780 Shengyuan Rd."

It's up to you whether you go. If you decide not to go, let me know.

I will tell my master to go there immediately.

I'm going now.

Don't worry, Sister, I've already talked him over.

Why does he listen as soon as you speak to him?

Why won't he listen to me?

You and I are different.

Do you mean, you are better than me?

Of course.

It looks like he changed his mind, but he said that

you two still need to talk.

What happens next is up to you.

I can't explain things clearly.

Last time I tried to explain things to him,

it only made things worse.

This time it's different. The universe has turned in your favor.

Sister... "8:30, meet him at 780 Shengyuan Rd."

What kind of place is that?

No couple fails to reconcile there.

By the way, I put some Adolph Shampoo in the bathroom. Don't forget to use it for the evening.

Wait.

Why are you behaving so strangely today?

No, I'm not. You said you liked the smell, so I bought you some.

To prevent you from using mine secretly. I'm going.

What are you up to?

You'll know once you go.
