- [The Lion's Secret] - [Original novel is My Wife Falls in Love with Me, written by Ao Wuchang]

We have to watch out for everyone nearby.

Feng Cong.

Yan Jing.

Is that an old wound on your hand?

Yes.

What happened then?

We cannot totally trust

anyone around us.

I'm so sorry

for not killing him.

Taisa has not eaten a thing.

She hasn't been drinking much water.

She must be thinking that she's gonna die anyway.

[Places in this story are purely invented.]

[Episode 23]

What?

I want to ask you

if there are some words

that can only be understood by

you and Taisa.

We two?

Seemingly not.

Could you please think it over?

It really matters.

Wanqing,

is there anything wrong with Taisa?

Does Taisa meet an accident?

Calm down. Calm down.

Taisa...

Yes, Taisa met an accident.

She's being sold at any time.

And she has no more desire for survival.

So we have to tell her now

you're still waiting for her.

Time is limited.

She can die at any time.

It's not a proper time to weep.

I really have no idea.

It hit me.

[25 hours before the auction]

Boss, someone left a message

that he wanted these two women to dance.

He bids 100,000 dollars.

100,000?

Yes.

Do as he said.

Yes.

Take it.

You two, dance with this.

Our 100,000-dollar bid has been shown.

[Twins]

Wax apple.

Mom.

Wax apple.

Wax apple means mom.

Mom.

My mom found me.

It's mom. Mom.

What are you saying?

Wax apple means mom.

My mom found me.

My mom found me.

Don't be silly.

Wax apple means mom.

I remember

in a school content,

I lost a lamp panel.

And that was exactly heart-shaped.

So, my mom cut open a wax apple.

See? It's heart-shaped.

My mom made it a lamp panel.

I remember it. Wax apple means my mom.

My mom found me.

See.

Mom.

Is your mom rich?

Will she be able to save you?

No.

But it must be my mom.

It is my mom.

Mom.

-Mom. -Taisa.

Be quiet.

Let me tell you. If you keep being silly,

even goodness can't make a way to save you.

[Twins]

Mom.

[Twins]

A new order.

[Twins]

They want them two to kill each other.

It is against the rule.

We offer such a high price.

Why don't they listen to us?

There's no rule at all.

He should be a regular client.

Look.

Among messages of all kinds,

only his was replied.

Xiang and Taisa were asked to follow his order.

But

as he wanted

to see twins,

why would he demand

one person to be left only?

Only for excitement.

Yes.

He wants to enjoy

their despair of facing death.

So,

it doesn't work

to contact them

by auction.

They didn't have any dealings with us,

so they won't trust us.

[Twins]

You two, listen up.

Now you have to strike the other down.

Or neither of you will survive.

Listen.

Listen to me.

Is your mom really looking for you?

Then we have to buy time for ourselves

and meanwhile satisfy them.

Listen to me. Beat me.

I can't.

Beat me.

Push me. Push me.

-I can't. -Push me hard.

I can't.

Push me.

Drink some water.

Thank you.

It seems that Xiang

doesn't mean to hurt Taisa.

You're right.

In physical power,

Taisa should be at a disadvantage.

But look,

it's Xiang who gets injured.

[Twins]

It is obvious

that she is buying time.

Stop watching.

It only torments you.

Take an early rest.

I'll inform you if there's anything special.

Go.

Wan, let's go.

Wanqing.

Are you awake?

Wanqing.

Wanqing.

Wanqing.

Where's Feng?

Now that we are so busy, we can't see him idle.

Leave him alone.

He is no difference from a good-for-nothing.

Let him rest.

[Twins]

You're awake.

Feng Cong,

where're we going?

Are you thirsty? Drink some water.

I'm asking you. Where are we going?

Airport.

To the airport?

Are we escaping?

We're not escaping.

We're cutting loss in time.

Situation of this school is over-complicated.

We won't help even even if we stay.

What do you mean by cutting loss in time?

Do you mean that

we can sacrifice others?

I don't mean that.

I just want to protect you.

Stop the car.

-I want to take care of... -Stop the car.

Feng Cong, I tell you.

I won't leave.

I won't be that selfish.

Drive me back.

I'll save Taisa and Xiang.

Wanqing, so let me tell you something in turn.

No one will think you selfish.

When I went to the police office that day,

I incidentally checked Liu Qing's information.

Do you know that about it?

It is a top secret.

So, it's we that need protection most,

not they.

They will be okay.

Don't worry.

Besides, I've discussed it with Liu Qing.

This is our common idea.

But I can't leave.

I am the largest shareholder of this school.

Only when I get full share

can I ensure kids' safety.

Now that we're uncertain about Taisa and Xiang's safety,

and I haven't finished my business,

I have to go back.

Wanqing.

I'll go back myself if you don't.

Wanqing.

Liu Qing.

You now know how to restrict my personal freedom, right?

Do not blame me only.

It's not my own idea.

Liu Qing, let me tell you.

I don't care about whatever dangerous things you plan.

But if you are going to drive me away

and risk another person,

no way.

I am for your sake.

My sake?

Don't treat me

in a way that you think is good.

What are you doing?

Sorry.

Yesterday I beat back so hard.

You're injured.

I'll wipe your cheek.

Leave me alone. They'll find it.

Don't move.

[Twins]

[14 hours before the auction]

- [Twins] - [It takes excessive time. Provide them with a knife and count down twice as fast.]

Look. They got a new order.

They demanded to provide twins with a knife

[Twins]

and count down twice as fast.

It is still that account.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom, Taisa is afraid.

Mom.

Mom.

Xiang.

[Twins]

Xiang.

Xiang.

Xiang.

Xiang.

Xiang.

Xiang, no.

Hurry.

Or neither of you can survive.

[Twins]

Xiang.

Xiang.

[Twins]

Ugople will drive you to the hell.

[Twins]

[Twins]

The live streaming stops.

Can it be that Xiang doesn't want to kill Taisa

[Twins]

so she stopped the live streaming?

Before the live streaming stopped,

Xiang should be conveying a message

to the outside world.

I've noticed it, too.

According to her mouth shape,

she seemed to be saying "Ugople will drive you to the hell".

Who is Ugople?

Ugople is a god described in Feircona,

a native god here.

Can it be that Xiang is telling us

they are locked up

near a temple of Ugople

or a statue like that?

Probably not.

There are too many temples of Ugople.

It's hard to find the right one.

Then why do natives worship Ugople?

Ugople has helped prince of Ayito

and saved his wife Mina

from Devil Nuzana.

Wait.

Is there a temple of Nuzana?

Nuzana is an evil devil.

Why will people worship him?

What's wrong?

There's no temple of Nuzana

but a deserted steelworks

[Nuzana Steelworks]

named Nuzana.

[Nuzana Steelworks]

Update this information to the local government.

Okay, boss.

Bring me the medicine.

Yes.

What the hell do you want?

I said it.

Ugople will drive you to the hell.

So, you cherish her life so much.

Do you know how much money they've offered?

Everything is ruined.

Taisa.

Xiang.

Let me go.

Do you know what this is?

Ketamine solution.

According to your weight,

500 milliliter

is enough to kill you.

Now that you are on good terms

and she wants to protect you,

I will show pity of heart

and be kind enough

to lend you a hand.

Then she

can watch you die.

Are you really willing to kill her?

You might as well kill me

and continue the live streaming.

Just give him a false impression that Taisa kills me.

The boss is not that naive.

No need to worry about my loss.

After her death,

they will pay the bill

and I can make my money back in no time.

Stay awake.

Pull out the needle.

Hurry. You stay awake.

Stay awake.

Stay awake.

♫ There are dark arrows and the campfire is still hot. ♫

♫ Still looking ahead, chasing the sun. ♫

♫ The car shakes, how long is the journey. ♫

Where's Nawa?

I've sent them the location.

♫ See how broad-minded people are. ♫

They will outflank

and you are the commander.

♫ If there is no light at night, the heart will grow strong. ♫

Relax.

♫ If the sun is bright, be calm like a wolf. ♫

♫ Resist with bare hands and never surrender. ♫

Stay there.

♫ Even if it'd cut my palm ♫

Feng Cong,

You protect kids with them two.

♫ The appearance of home is called wandering. ♫

You're not going anywhere.

♫ When the course is determined, it is necessary to be arrogant. ♫

♫ Huge energy is in front of the chest. ♫

♫ Once wind gets chill and track becomes muddy ♫

♫ Alienation would be lit up. ♫

♫ The sky is not blue anymore as it is stained by blood. ♫

♫ Rolling hills wriggles over. ♫

[One hour before the aution]

♫ It would never give up though being stopped. ♫

♫ Tangled as my feeling is, just cut it with a sharp knife. ♫

Have you found it?

One kilometer away.

♫ Even a hero has his weakness. ♫

I've sent the route to your phone.

Okay.

Follow the old rule.

I play forward and you outflank them.

Fenngyu will follow me.

Okay. Follow the old rule.

Continue the game. Continue.

Throw it over.

Come on. Come on.

Give me.

Catch. Catch.

Taisa. Taisa.

Wake up, Taisa.

Taisa.

Wake up.

Taisa.

Taisa.

It's okay. Open the door.

It's okay.

Lei Shuo,

inform Nawa's men.

Follow us in.

Go.

Freeze. Freeze. Freeze.

Come over. Freeze.

Hurry.

Let these kids out.

And lock up the human traders.

Come one.

Slow down.

Hurry. Go. Go.

Come here.

Get up. Go.

Go. Get in.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Hurry up.

Xiang. Xiang.

Xiang.

Xiang.

Xiang.

Xiang.

Get in.

You go save them. I'll handle it.

Okay.

Let me go. Let Xiang go.

-Pull her away. -Let Xiang go.

We came here to save you.

We came here to save you.

My Xiang.

Xiang. Xiang.

Don't leave me here.

Take me.

Don't leave me.

My Xiang.

Don't leave me here.

Xiang.

Take me.

We've seen it from the monitor.

You're a brave girl.

Xiang.

Xiang.

Xiang.

Xiang.

Xiang.

Feng Cong has gone back first

to prepare the restart of

Weikai and Maoyuan's cooperation.

I'll be in the hospital soon.

How's she?

Don't worry. She's now out of danger.

Thank you.

It's great that she's okay now.

The bullet didn't puncture her deeply

and the treatment was in time.

She would be recovering soon.

Tata,

during these two years,

Taisa was more seriously injured

mentally

than physically.

Taisa really suffered.

When can she wake up?

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Taisa, mom's here.

Mom's here, kid.

Thanks to your help.

Thank you.

You too.

I have taken advantage, haven't I?

And other kids have been enjoined

to verify their identities.

Some of them have found their parents.

For those who haven't,

contact the welfare house

to settle them down.

Okay.

Now I'll come to you.

I'm going to introduce a very important person to you.

See you later.

Great. Taisa finally found her mom.

Luckily, Taisa is okay.

What's wrong?

I want to thank you.

How did you get the news

and go rescue those kids?

Be quiet please.

This mission

is under the great support of the police...

Nawa talks quite like a bureaucrat.

But it is your contribution.

He easily makes a merit.

It was Liu Qing who asked him to do it.

Then we can have a reasonable explanation for it.

If we were exposed,

that would be a real hassle.

Turn off the camera. No shooting anymore.

Then let me make an introduction.

This is Mr. Atuna,

the most famous entrepreneur of Bazhen.

And this one is naturally Liu Qing.

Thank you for saving those kids.

Costs of hospitalization

and mental intervention for kids

are all borne by Mr. Atuna.

Right, sir,

I heard that you are preparing for the next selection.

It's up in the air.

Well,

your mission is really successful,

especially the fact that you've caught the criminal gang in one action.

I'd like to express my sincere gratitude.

Actually, it's Nawa's credit.

No, no. Not that.

Nawa has told all your actions to me.

And he said you were really heroic

and upheld justice.

On behalf of people here, I show you deep gratefulness.

Well, you chat here.

I'll go for

these rescued kids.

Bye.

Please.

Come in.

You're awake.

The doctor said she had been on the mend.

Okay.

-Don't get up. Don't get up. -Slow down.

I just want to thank you.

No need, girl.

They are on mission now.

You can thank them when you recover.

Okay?

I heard that you have some questions for me.

Rest first. We'll ask you when you recover.

I can do it. Believe me.

It was for me that Xiang...

I can do it.

I can do it.

You just sit here.

Then,

I'll ask you some questions.

Answer if you're willing to.

Or you can just ignore that. Okay?

Okay.

Do you still remember

how you got lost two years ago?

Yes.

I'll remember it forever.

At that time, I was walking behind my mom

with a kid.

Then, a car came.

And somehow they bundled me into the car.

Didn't that kid be caught?

No.

They just took me.

At the beginning, I thought they had caught the wrong person.

So I kept begging them,

"I don't have a rich family,

please let me go."

But they just ignored me.

I was gaged

and my eyes were covered.

Can you recollect any more details?

More details...

I remember

a green license plate with white characters.

Anything else?

I don't know how long it took.

I was taken to a deserted steelworks.

I was taken into a smelter.

There,

I met Xiang.

You've stayed there for so long.

Haven't you met anyone else?

No.

Except the one delivering lunch for us.

It was too dark there.

We had no idea about how long it had passed

or whether it was day or night outside.

Till one day,

someone came and installed the camera.

That was the start of

the nightmare of Xiang and me.

Relax. Everything has gone.

It was because of me that Xiang died.

It was all because of me.

It's my fault.

It's my fault.

It's okay as Fengyu is guarding them here.

Let me send you back to school first.

I used to believe

you would bring both of them back.

Sorry.

I'll arrange Xiang's funeral well.

Why would Taisa and Xiang

suffer such bullying

and humiliation?

Because of interests.

Such affairs,

such injustice...

I really can't understand.

It is always unfair in the world.

What we can do is

to try our best

and be free from compunction.

Liu Qing,

Jundie has told me everything

about you,

Lei Shuo

and Wu Fengyu.

About what you three have experienced together.

I finally understood

why you were unwilling

to mention your past.

Help.

Help. Help.

Help.

There're some people being locked up.

Lion, the task matters the most.

It's too late. Ignore them.

There's no time if we don't leave now.

No, rescue them!

Lion.

Grenade.

No one is willing to bear torment.

We just have got used of it.

Liu Qing,

Taisa has woken up.

You come over.

Taisa can't remember much effective information.

But I suspect there must be a guy

who manipulated everything behind the scene.

Taisa happened to be Tata's daughter.

And the video was exposed when we were leaving.

He was quite sure that we would help them.

Plus past affairs,

he was specially familiar with us.

Hello, what's wrong?

Where are you and Fengyu?

We are in the hospital. Say it.

All the human traders under control have been killed

except one

that has been sent to the hospital where you are.

See if you can get any clues.

His ward iss No.10 on the first floor.

You guard Taisa here.

Why are your men here?

I've expected your visit.

Now that the local government has known it,

it would be tricky

if I let you in.

I won't embarrass you.

Five minutes is enough.

Five minutes.

Okay.

Then I didn't see anything.

Five minutes.

You didn't see anything, either.

How is the patient?

He is conscious.

It's so miserable of your dead buddies.

They worked themselves to the bone for someone else

but was silenced in the end.

Only when you cooperate with us

will you have the chance to survive.

Say.

Where's that nurse?

This way.

What are you doing?

Sorry.

Sir, help my sister.

Gag her.

Mr. Liu.

Mr. Atuna knows her?

She is my maid.

She had a screw loose

ever since her sister was lost.

I took her to a doctor today

since I'm here in a hospital.

I didn't expect there

to be a misunderstanding.

Is there anything I can help?

No, no.

You've done much for Bazhen.

This is my housework.

I'll handle it myself.

Well, drop in if it's convenient.

Bye.

The patient died from toxic.

The exact result will come after the examination.

Don't you know who the boss is

in Mr. Atuna's place?

You're counting on those guys, aren't you?

Will they help you?

Yan Jing, come on.

Have some with me.

You asked me over

just to show me this?

Her sister has ever been here.

She pretended to be my maid

and wanted to track her sister down.

I found it.

I was going to release her.

Who knows?

She actually thought Liu Qing as their so-called

savior

and turned to him for her sister's whereabouts.

So stupid.

Why do you stop?

Now that

you are always looking for your sister,

I'll

satisfy you.

Then you can get together in hell.

Sister, sister.

Sister, Su Pan will be with my sister forever.

Go to the hell.

Stop.

[Next Episode]

Don't come over. Don't come over.

Go.

-Scram. -If she does think of something,

you know how to handle it.

-Yes. -Taisa lost control?

What is the stimulus?

Atuna paid her a visit.

Mu Wanqing?

I heard that

your boss wanted me to withdraw my men

from that charity school?

When we control the school,

money is not a problem.

If you can't ensure the safety

of me, my friends and those kids,

I really have no idea

about what I am going to do.

Hurry. Hurry to the classroom.

I almost can guess

the real identity of Ma Kulu.

Hi, Ma Kulu.
