[The Inner Eye] [EP27]

[Caller ID: Senior]

Hello.

Xiaoyun.

I've looked at the photos

you sent me.

Judging from the OS interface

and its equipment,

it's obvious that

these are all Heidelberg's

earliest-generation machines.

So you're saying

the equipment doesn't match the specs?

Right.

They're all past their service life,

outdated and worn out.

They should have been scrapped long ago.

Got it. Thanks.

Hello.

Attorney Lin.

This is Qiao Weimin from Yate Biotech.

I just got back from a business trip

and I'd like to visit you.

Are you free to talk now?

Mr. Qiao.

Is the matter you wish to discuss

really appropriate

for a phone call?

OK, OK.

Alright.

I'll come to you.

As for today's documents,

I'll send them over later.

-Bye. -Okay, see you.

-Bye. -Bye.

Attorney Lin.

I came to see you.

We spoke on the phone earlier.

I'm Qiao Weimin.

Where are we going?

You'll see when we get there.

Please rest assured, Attorney Lin.

I'm a decent man.

Captain Peng.

I want to know

if we find Yu Hai,

does that mean we can recover

the victims' money in the Qian Peng case?

If we locate him,

it will certainly help

us understand the full picture

and aid the subsequent

asset recovery efforts.

As for actually retrieving

the victims' funds,

that depends on whether Yu Hai

has already moved the money out.

One more question.

Yu Hai is just an alias.

How would I prove

he's the suspect

tied to the case?

Attorney Lin,

if you come across any leads,

you must inform

us immediately.

Verifying a suspect's identity

is our responsibility.

This way.

The sea is rough.

It's safer

to keep valuables

on shore.

Besides,

once we're out at sea,

there'll be no signal.

Right this way, please.

Do you like the sea view?

You didn't bring me here

just for the scenery, I presume.

Should I call you Attorney Lin,

or

Mrs. Qian?

I have the same question for you.

Should I call you Mr. Qiao

or Mr. Yu Hai?

I admire

a woman as smart and beautiful as you.

Qian Peng and I

have been over for a long time.

As you know,

he left me buried in debt.

All I feel for him

is hatred.

Since you know who I am,

yet you didn't call the police.

It seems your ambitions

are quite large.

Yate Biotech's acquisition price

is valued at three hundred million.

I never realized

Attorney Lin had such big ambitions.

The waves are getting rougher ahead.

Be careful, Attorney Lin.

If you slip and

fall into the sea,

no one can save you.

But I stand next to you, Mr. Qiao,

I'm sure you wouldn't let me fall.

You're a businessman.

You know how to navigate storms.

Good. Business it is.

Then let's talk about business.

So, what's your plan?

I need to clear my debts.

You need to close

the Yate Biotech acquisition.

We both have our objectives.

Therefore,

we could be allies.

Go on.

The ship you purchased...

looks pristine on the outside,

but the hull is corroded.

Did you really think

JW's legal and finance team

would miss that?

The JW succession battle

has been raging for years.

The young Mr. Huang is desperate to close a deal

to gain an edge over his brother.

He needs this acquisition done fast,

so he can score points with Chairman Huang.

That superficial

report

is just a formality.

As long as I don't blow the whistle,

everyone gets what they want.

Am I right?

Mr. Qiao.

Name your price.

I'm not really familiar

with the going rate for this sort of thing.

Give me an account number.

I'll transfer you 300,000 upfront.

Once the JW acquisition

is signed,

you'll get the rest

in full.

Mr. Qiao,

I thought

you were a more cautious man.

I see.

Cash.

You can take it with you later.

Ever since I met you,

I've kept thinking

what a shame that someone like you

and I have no past.

It's a pity.

Every relationship

can have a fresh start.

Mr. Qiao,

I'll be counting on your support.

It seems you really do

have foresight.

But you'd better hurry.

After the acquisition is sealed,

I plan to spend some time

abroad.

Sun, beach, islands…

I'm just missing a companion.

I look forward to it.

Cheers

[Lin Xiaoyun]

Hello.

The number you have dialed...

Three hundred thousand in cash...

that's pretty heavy.

Do you need me to send it for you?

No.

I'll take it myself.

I'll wait for your message.

Director Kang.

Where have you been?

Do you have anything to tell me?

I'm sorry, Director.

I…

I sent the location to the wrong person.

You suddenly

texted me a location,

then your phone goes dead,

you don't reply to messages,

and then you turn up at the yacht dock.

Sent it wrong ?

Could I got a better explanation?

I'm sorry.

You were out on a yacht. With whom?

May I ask who?

I was at a friend's yacht party.

The location was to be sent to

another friend.

Honestly, I…

sent it by mistake.

Fine. We'll leave it there.

We'll talk when you're ready to be honest.

[Chen Jun Law Firm]

I reviewed the bio-reagent

and production equipment,

they belong to the new Heidelberg production line.

According to the Finance Department's

evaluation data,

the depreciation rate is

11.75%,

which matches the valuation.

You mentioned earlier

the sales records provided by

Yate Biotech,

along with the workshop inventory list

are both incomplete.

They indicate fictitious pass-through

transactions.

So, during your

on-site inspection,

did you find any issues?

I checked the warehouse logs,

and I matched them with contracts ,

logistics and invoices.

They all line up.

Cold storage counts

also match the audit.

Those incomplete areas are

simply because the contract has not yet been executed.

The factory manager guarantees

they will be completed as scheduled.

As for the previously flagged

risk of breach claims,

and other cross-border

after-sales service issues,

I have thoroughly verified each one.

I don't think it will affect the overall valuation.

So, you're saying

all the issues you flagged,

you've looked into them,

and found satisfactory explanations for?

Is that right?

Yes.

I'll submit a full report.

OK.

I'll tell JW to

proceed.

Thank you.

Get back to work.

OK.

My view is

she found problems

and solved them all by herself?

That's suspicious.

Just as we thought.

She loves money,

but…

would she really

fake a due

diligence report?

I'll handle it.

JW Group

is a major

client.

Young Mr. Huang

is also an old friend.

I won't let anything damage

Chen Jun

Law Firm's partnership with JW

Group.

OK?

OK.

[Message from Lin Xiaoyun: Project moving forward smoothly]

[Message from Attorney Kang: Come to my office]

Come in.

I've been waiting.

Have a seat.

Have you thought about it?

Lin Xiaoyun.

Do you trust me?

In psychology,

when people are

in danger,

they turn to someone

they trust.

So I don't think

that location

was a mistake.

I understand it as

I am someone you trust.

Can I think so?

Director, I…

Where did you go last night?

Who did you meet?

How much did they pay you?

and what kind of goals did you promise

the other person

to achieve?

If you trust me,

tell me the truth.

I will face

this crisis

and solve problems with you.

Okay?

Director.

Do you think I was

bribed by Yate Biotech?

I had a partner once

and he is my close friend.

He encountered the

same situation as you met.

Believe me, you

can't handle

what comes next.

But you're luckier than he was.

You still have a chance to turn back.

He didn't.

There was indeed a sum of money

in that bag.

The person I met

was Yu Hai.

Yu Hai.

The fugitive from

the Qian Peng case?

Yu Hai, is it him?

He's the real investor

behind Yate Biotech.

I see.

So, your

independent verification in the Yate Biotech's

production shop and warehouse,

was just to force

this fugitive to meet you?

Am I right?

Lin Xiaoyun, how could you risk

this entire firm

to trap

a fugitive?

What do you take this Chen Jun Law Firm

and us

for?

Are we your chips?

Why not call the police immediately?

Why not let them

handle it?

I asked Captain Peng.

Yu Hai changed his name.

So they can't confirm it's him.

Although the criminal investigation team is still investigating,

but

I don't want to miss the opportunity

for him to appear this time.

He invited me to the yacht yesterday.

I wasn't prepared.

If I'd called the police then,

it would've only

scared him off.

I had no choice.

And now?

You still plan to meet him?

Do you realize

you're essentially

playing with a lit fuse

in this game.

It could blow up in your face at any moment.

Listen, if you've

tampered with anything

during the due diligence

for this acquisition,

you'll lose your career and

even go to prison.

You'll take this whole firm

down with you.

Do you understand that?

I've thought about it.

Once Yu Hai is caught,

I'll tell the

whole truth.

The acquisition will be called off.

JW won't suffer any actual losses.

You really have guts.

What about you?

What will you do?

The money he gave me.

I won't touch a cent of it.

I'll turn it all over to the police after reporting.

As for other consequences,

I'm willing to bear them all.

You went to meet

the victims

related to the Qian Peng case.

Cheng Feng told me that.

I understand .

Maybe

you have your own reasons.

But I'm sorry,

as the director of Chen Jun Law Firm,

I won't allow you to keep playing with fire.

I'll contact Captain Peng.

Leave the rest to the police.

Director, at a time like this,

we can't alert the enemy.

Be quiet.

[Caller ID: Qiao Weimin]

Yu Hai.

Answer it.

Attorney Lin.

I booked a flight for tonight.

Are you free?

Let's enjoy a vacation on an island together.

There's still a lot of work

to handle for the acquisition.

I can't leave right now.

I got internal news

from JW.

Nothing will go wrong.

It's all thanks to your help.

So,

will you come with me

to the island for a few days?

Think of it as

a reward for you.

[Yu Hai is trying to escape, stop him]

Your internal news

isn't very accurate.

I heard that Chairman Huang of JW

is very interested in the acquisition.

He personally asked about it.

There are several

fake sales contracts in the audit report.

It will be very troublesome to handle.

What do you mean, Lin?

You say everything was going smoothly, don't you?

Why?

You're

unhappy with the salary we discussed?

Name any amount you want.

The audit report includes

several cases of inflated revenue.

No logistics records,

and no trace of the goods at the end.

You don't want to

ruin everything at the last minute, do you?

This is easy to fix.

Transfer real funds

into Yate Biotech's account

in three installments via unrelated accounts.

That'll cover it up.

It's not convenient to talk about

the details over the phone.

Find a place and let's meet to talk.

Clever girl.

Could it be that he has become suspicious?

If he were,

he wouldn't have called you.

[The usual place]

What do we do?

He has already hooked the bait.

Notify Captain Peng now.

Director,

thank you for trusting me.

Come aboard.

I've decanted the wine for you.

Police! Don't run!

Don't run!

Police! Stop!

Stop!

Move.

Move.

Take him away.

Captain Peng,

this is the 300,000 RMB

Qiao Weimin gave me.

It's all here.

Please

come to the station with me

for questioning.

No problem.

We'll follow you in our car.

Okay.

Thanks for your hard work.

Director Kang,

thank you.

Thank you for trusting me.

But don't act alone again.

Not everyone will help you every time.

Wow.

Where did you get

all this stuff?

Your son and daughter

will be back in a few days.

I have to get you

looking sharp, right?

It's truly been a long time

since I saw them.

I really shouldn't look too sloppy.

After all,

I should leave with a good impression.

Stop talking nonsense.

These days,

I've been thinking about when my daughter was little.

Before she turned three,

I often took her to the beach,

or to the park,

to play in the sand.

Later, when I was up for promotion to senior lawyer,

I suddenly got swamped with work.

I can't even remember

which primary school

or middle school she went to.

I never picked her up or dropped her off at school again.

And Parent-teacher meetings,

always her mom went.

As for the elderly,

I never even cared about him.

Kids grow up

in the blink of an eye.

One day,

when you want to communicate with them,

they already have their own opinions

and don't want to communicate with you.

Even if you

want to make up for it,

you won't have the chance.

When my wife was alive,

our family still felt like a family.

By the way,

before I came to Beijing,

Jiang Huaishan came to meet me.

Like me,

he deeply regrets

not fulfilling his responsibilities

as a father back then.

Fortunately,

he still has time now.

You still have time.

Don't move.

I won't be responsible if it cuts your ear.

Sigh,

how did I end up

taking on such a stubborn apprentice?

You can't let go of the past,

and only you will suffer.

Like who?

Who

put off coming to Beijing

for treatment until now?

Look what's talking.

Yeah,

we're just alike.

We always think we have plenty of time,

but in reality,

the meaning of life

lies in every moment you experience,

every second.

It's every ray of sunshine

you're bathing in,

every wisp of wind.

It's everyone you're missing

and want to see.

Before,

I always taught you how to charge forward

as a lawyer.

But now,

what I hope most

is that you can learn to

let go of the past,

learn to forgive,

and learn to live in the present.

This is the last lesson

I'll teach you as your master.

You are really

a talkative

and sick old man.

Listen to me.

Go back to Shenzhen.

Cherish

everything you have.

Let me see.

Not bad.

You've got skills.

Do you have a lighter?

I didn't know you smoked at all.

No.

I quit a long time ago.

Chen wanted to smoke the other day,

so, I bought it for him.

He took two puffs,

and ash fell on his pillow.

A young nurse gave him an earful.

You lost a lot of weight

on this trip back, you know?

Cause you haven't seen Chen.

He's even worse.

His whole-body hurts like crazy,

and he can't eat anything.

I can't bear to look at him.

What did the doctor say?

The doctor recommended targeted therapy,

what else?

His son and daughter

are back from abroad now.

He has someone with him,

so, I don't have to worry about him being lonely.

I heard you're leaving tomorrow.

Oh,

are you

here to tell me

that your mission at Chen Jun Law Firm

is completed,

and you can leave without any worries?

Just not having any attachment at all?

Any words to me?

Before I left the hospital,

Chen said a lot to me.

At that moment,

he was like a poet.

He told me

what life is.

He told me

to go with the flow.

Can you hug me?

Miss,

all the rest of the stuff

was here.

Okay.

Take all the messy things

in the cabinet

to the storage room.

Got it.

Leave the wine!

Attorney Dai.

Morning.

Aren't you a bit eager

moving in right after he left?

He was occupying my place before.

Now it's returning to its rightful owner.

I thought

you'd need some time

to adjust.

Adjust to what?

Adjusting to the director's position,

or adjusting to a colleague's departure?

Or adjusting to someone

very important

leaving suddenly?

Go with the flow.

Be honest with me.

Did you try to persuade him to stay?

Go with the flow.

I really don't understand

you two.

But since Chen

handed over the entire firm to you,

you call the shots.

By the way,

Xiaoyun,

she's completed all the required cooperation

with the investigation.

What do you plan to do?

She's waiting for the firm

to give her a disciplinary decision.

I'm also waiting for her

to give me an explanation.

Handle it according to the rules.

It seems you've already adjusted

to the identity of Director Tang

and this office.

Congratulations on your promotion,

Director Tang.

[Shenzhen Lawyers Association]

I heard about what you did

in Beijing.

You did it for the people

Cheng Feng introduced you to,

for Qian Peng,

and also, for yourself, right?

I have to say, you're quite brave.

Miss,

I thought you'd scold me

severely.

What's the point of it?

Will scolding solve the problem?

Xiaoyun,

when you acted so bravely,

without consulting anyone,

just following your own will,

did you consider

the consequences?

I did,

but I thought

as long as I terminated the acquisition in time,

there wouldn't be

any actual losses.

I know I've brought

great risks to the firm.

I’m waiting for

All China Lawyers Association's penalty decision.

An acquisition valued at over 100 million yuan.

You think the various audits

and the large financial team behind it

are just sitting around,

don't you?

Also,

do you know

why I asked Director Kang

to oversee

the acquisition process?

Because the success or failure of this acquisition

will be a crucial turning point

for Chen Jun Law Firm and Attorney Dai

to re-establish a foothold

in the capital market sector.

I can bear

all the losses.

With what?

The Chen Jun Law Firm team's fee

is 2.6 million yuan.

If the other party sues,

they will demand triple compensation,

7.8 million yuan.

If All China Lawyers Association penalizes you,

Justice Bureau of Shenzhen Municipality

will revoke your lawyer's license.

You'll lose your job.

You may not have work

for a long time.

Check the balance in your bank card.

Tell me.

How do you plan to bear it?

Xiaoyun,

this time

I want to solemnly remind you:

no matter how just

our motives,

the methods we adopt

should not be illegal or irregular.

What's more,

you are a lawyer.

I even think now

that not being a lawyer

might be the greatest

respect you can show to the law.

A young lawyer,

burdened with huge debts,

looking at the tears of victims,

always eager to settle everything

in the fastest way.

But she forgot

that the law is never simply black and white.

Quick justice or vengeance

will never be forgiven with its procedural flaws

just because the good original intention.

It will never quietly change

the established balance

just because one side's tears are more intense.

Those seemingly cold rules

are precisely the cornerstone

that allows justice to land safely.

Only through the tempering of rules

can fairness gain its most solid weight.
