[Episode 19]

Brother,

you're awake.

Why are you staring at me early in the morning?

Is there something on my face?

No, no, no. I was just waiting for you to wake up.

Drink some water. I was holding it for you.

It's still warm.

Thank you.

Brother, I washed your towel last night.

It's a good thing that his brain is still working properly.

He knows who he needs to fawn over.

Before I came in here,

did these people treat you like this?

Nope.

Tell me. Why are you doing things for me?

No reason.

I just want to follow you.

It makes me feel at ease.

There's this many people in here,

and you choose me?

To me, you are different from all of them.

You are a good person.

I can't even save myself right now.

How am I a good person?

When I first came in here,

they wouldn't even bother with me.

Only you cared about me.

You even gave me this sweater to wear.

Since I was little, besides my grandpa,

you are the second person to treat me this nicely.

Do you actually think of me as your brother?

To be honest, from when I was little,

I have always wished I had a brother.

Okay, from now on,

I am your brother.

Brother,

I don't believe that you killed someone.

Why?

Because your eyes don't have hate.

You treat a stranger like me this nicely, how can you kill anyone?

The police must have made a mistake.

It's just like the drug case from before.

Not too long from now, you might be able to go out again.

Old Feng,

- did you see the news? - What news?

They said Yan Jin killed someone six years ago.

What is all this nonsense?

Drink some soup.

It's all over the internet.

It's saying Yan Jin killed his closest friend six years ago.

It has also said that his little sister and the famous lawyer staged

the case to win.

People on the internet are saying that it's a little suspicious.

Don't you think the internet sure likes to gossip?

Why would they bring up a case from six years ago?

Don't they know it's illegal to spread rumors like this?

Did Yan Jin kill someone then?

Of course not.

The case from six years ago was already solved.

The murderer has been killed.

Yan Jin is innocent.

Don't spread random rumors like this, and don't mention any of this in front of Xiao'ou.

Try the soup.

- It's a little flavorless. - Let me grab some salt.

What are you looking at?

This is all nonsense.

Because of the current internet cyberbullying,

it costs nothing. These people

can be so arrogant.

I told you not to look.

Must you really look?

You aren't feeling well, either.

Here, drink your medicine.

Yan Jin is so unlucky.

He always gets sucked into things like this.

I don't even know how it is for him right now.

Don't worry. As long as he's innocent,

there's nothing to worry about on Yan Shen's side.

Don't forget... You were so anxious back then that you almost gave yourself a heart attack.

During this time, it's Yan Shen

that found a loophole in the investigation.

It's just like that when Zheng Boqiang was found.

I know. Go back to what you were doing.

Stop worrying.

Yan Shen, it's me.

Coming!

- Yan Shen. - Madam.

- I missed you. - Me, too. Long time no see.

Old Shen, Yan Shen came.

- Please come in. - Yan Shen, you came?

Teacher Shen, long time no see.

Sit, don't just stand there. Have some tea.

Thank you, Teacher Shen.

You look like you haven't rested well recently.

I'm okay.

Has the date for court been set yet?

The 12th.

Seeing you this tired...

The case is rough?

[Case File]

At this point, the police have found a lot of evidence that points at Yan Jin.

As of now, I still can't find anything to help him.

Drink some tea.

Looking at this case,

it might be exactly like last time.

A long drawn out battle.

You and Yan Jin have to be ready for this.

Because my brother was an undercover cop, he has been wronged a lot already.

I can't let him be wronged anymore.

Especially when my parents are both not doing well.

Even if my brother can withstand it, I don't think they can.

So I must win this case with my all.

Lawyers are not gods.

Not every case is winnable.

You, don't be so hard on yourself.

I will.

As long as my brother is innocent, there will always be a turning point in the case.

I just need some luck.

Luck doesn't easily come to a person.

You should slowly

take it step-by-step.

Do you understand what I am saying?

Recently, the internet has been taking part in this a little too much.

Even though there are rumors,

I still think you should try to push it down.

A storm of public opinion...

It will affect Yan Jin negatively.

I have already gotten someone to help with that.

That's great.

Don't give yourself too much pressure.

You can always come to me for help.

No need.

I have a way to win this case.

For a case like this...

Even if I were to take it, I don't think I could win.

What solution do you have for that?

There's a lot of solutions. For example, I need to find someone

that can prove that Zhan Yu left my brother's house alive.

Yan Shen, you doing this might not just lose the case.

You might also fall into their trap.

Help me find information on this one person.

Wu Jia.

[Inpatient]

Thank you, Doctor Wang. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how long I would be laying here.

Police Officer Cheng, that's a little over exaggerating. You only recovered so quickly because you have your loved one here taking care of you.

I have no choice.

It's not like I can divorce him.

Brother Cheng, all the paperwork is done. There's a car waiting outside.

I'll go back to work then.

Okay. You go back to your business then.

Thank you.

- Let me do it. - Don't touch it.

Director Li gave a direct order. You can rest at home for a month.

I'm starting to rot. I can't rest anymore.

If I can't catch him, I won't sleep well.

Send your sister-in-law home. I need to go back to the team.

You want to go back to the team already?

What's wrong with that?

You should rest at home for at least a couple of days. Spend some time with Sister-in-Law and your child.

Your deputy chief won't stay still unless he's laying here.

I'm the one being with the children.

Come home early for dinner. Let Zhou Bian send you home.

Don't worry. You must be tired. Go home and rest.

Okay. Leave. You didn't leave anything, right?

- Hello? - Have you been discharged yet?

Yes. I'm fine now.

I'm busy over here so I can't pick you up.

You should go home and rest.

No need.

Did you catch a cold? Did you take some medicine?

I'm fine. Xiao'ou gave me some medicine. Don't worry.

In a few days, Yan Jin's case is going to court. How's the preparations?

I can't really tell you everything in two sentences. Just don't worry about it.

I just want to see how you are.

I can tell you're not well just by your voice. Don't work so hard that you forget to take your medicine.

I know my own body.

Take care of yourself. Bye.

How is it on their side?

Even though Xiao Meiren didn't tell us where Liu Wei is,

but she told us that Liu Wei got the recipe for the drugs from someone in the force.

Liu Wei was planning to kill this person, too.

The only unexpected thing was that this person escaped.

Drug enforcer?

That means Xiao Meiren and Liu Wei had nothing to do with the case from six years ago.

The only thing that connects them is the drug enforcer.

That's right.

What else has Xiao Meiren said about this drug enforcer?

She said she has never seen this drug enforcer's face nor has she ever been in much contact with him.

They met online and all the transactions were done online.

This person's stuff is considered so good that the buyers all acknowledge it.

Liu Wei wanted to do the all-in-one service so he decided to kill and steal the recipe.

So besides capturing Liu Wei, we still need to find the drug enforcer.

Hello?

There's a suspicious person who looks like Liu Wei who made an appearance.

Immediately prepare details and get people there to see this person.

Have them follow and observe carefully.

Near the border between Guangxi and Vietnam.

We need to catch this person within the country; otherwise, it will become more complicated once he goes out of the country.

To drink such good coffee in the office is life.

Tell me. Why did you want to see me?

1/3 Seafood Restaurant is getting worse and worse.

You can see that I can't get out of the office because I've been busy.

Can you help me take care of the problems in my place?

- Me? - Yes. You are a businesswoman.

You managed the Flowing Thoughts Cafe well. You shouldn't have a problem.

But managing a small cafe and a restaurant is different.

I'm afraid I won't be able to.

It's still better than someone who doesn't understand business at all.

You already know how important 1/3 Seafood Restaurant is to my brother.

No matter what the results of the case are,

he wouldn't want 1/3 Seafood Restaurant to close.

1/3 Seafood Restaurant will not close. Yan Jin will be back.

Hello, Miss Yan.

I'm showing my friend around. Tell Manager Yu to come to Director Yan's office for a meeting in 10 minutes.

Yes.

Besides this dining area that can fit up to 100 people,

there're about 20 VIP rooms. The average spending at this restaurant is about ¥800 and up.

The VIP rooms have different tiers, too.

There's small, big, business. They can meet all needs.

Would the people that eat here be rich?

It's essentially all either rich locals or foreigners touring Liyuan.

It's such a shame the popularity is going down.

Let's go.

This is our seafood area.

Manager Feng.

Xiao'ou?

You two know each other?

He's like an older brother to me. Like a relative.

- What a coincidence? - Why are all the lobsters dead?

We have no choice. With just a few customers, we have fewer orders.

Even if it's good seafood, once they touch new waters, they don't last.

Yan Jin normally had high expectations on the food ingredients.

Even if the shrimp is dead, it doesn't make it to the table. So, we have to get rid of it.

Get rid of it.

Let's go, Xiao'ou. Let's talk in the office.

Brother Feng, you can work. I'm going over there to talk.

Okay. You guys carry on.

You want Miss Ji to be the proxy restaurant manager?

Is there something wrong? She's a friend of mine and my brother's.

She has had experience in running a cafe for multiple years.

I believe she can help 1/3 Seafood Restaurant go through this rough patch.

But...

What? If you have something to say, say it.

I'm going to say something that might seem rude.

Miss Ji, please do not feel offended.

Right now, the internet is spreading a lot of rumors.

Everyone knows that Director Yan's case has some relation to Miss Ji.

If Miss Ji comes to the restaurant now, there will be some negative impact on the others.

What we are trying to do right now is to bring back our former reputation.

If there's a customer that sees Miss Ji,

wouldn't it create a new series of problems?

So what you are saying is that my brother really killed someone for Ji Xiao'ou?

No, no, no. I'm just trying to remind you guys.

Manager Yu's words aren't false.

Being a proxy restaurant manager requires me to show up here and there.

And during this kind of time, I should be more low key.

Why don't I talk about my opinions and thoughts, first? If you guys agree,

can Manager Yu please listen in place of everyone else?

So what does Miss Ji have to say?

To make up for the loss and increase sales,

I think we can start by changing 1/3 Seafood Restaurant from a high-end dining experience

to a lower-end restaurant for normal people.

During the day, operate the same format.

Once dinner starts, we can have it as a midnight snack format.

Aside from all of the dishes on the menu, we can add appetizers and little barbecued snacks.

The midnight snack time goes up until 3 AM, meaning we can also extend our hours.

This is not a bad idea.

Liyuan's restaurants tend to open until 10:00 p.m.

If people wanted a midnight snack, they would go to the dirty stalls.

If 1/3 Seafood Restaurant does a high-quality midnight snack,

it can attract a lot of customers.

This outdoor dining is not used often,

why don't we redecorate to change the vibe?

It can let customers enjoy their experience as they eat.

Miss Ji's thinking is contradicting Director Yan's original idea behind this restaurant.

His goal was to let 1/3 Seafood Restaurant become Liyuan's and the nation's top seafood restaurant.

If you lower the level of the restaurant, it won't be 1/3 Seafood Restaurant anymore.

You might as well change the name of the restaurant.

Right now, the revenue of 1/3 Seafood Restaurant doesn't exceed ¥50,000.

If it is having trouble to survive, what's the point of the goal?

You want to know why after Yan Jin is gone, 1/3 Seafood Restaurant is practically gone?

It's because the people that come here are the rich. They all have a reputation.

They don't have a problem with spending money. When the reputation is good, it's good.

Once there's a problem, they will cut you out.

If it's the normal crowd,

they only care about food tasting good and whether it's worth the price.

So we should change our target market.

Let all the people who come to the infamous 1/3 Seafood Restaurant rate their experience through their own money.

Let them enjoy the best customer service and food.

People will come here for the experience if they can afford it.

Then... how are we going to make money?

There is likely not going to be much profit at the beginning. The goal right now is to get customers.

Once we get the customers, the profits will go up.

And... don't let the seafood here go to waste.

We can go ahead and make them into some form of marinated food.

This way it can be an appetizer.

Also, repackage it letting people take it to-go.

Tell every department's manager to meet up for a meeting immediately.

I want to give a grand entrance to our proxy restaurant manager.

Manager Yu's words are correct. I'll let him be the face of this.

I'll be in the background and help whenever it's needed.

Okay. I'll leave it up to you.

This is Yan Jin's office key. Take it.

This... isn't appropriate, right?

Manager Yu is in the front fighting the war. You should have a place to sit as they do it.

Sister Yan is correct. If anything is wrong,

I want to have a place to talk to you.

Divide the employees into day and night shifts, and have them take turns on their shift.

Okay.

We also need to create some posters for the snack stalls,

and hire a breakfast collaboration team.

Let's try to set up the snack stalls within two days.

No problem. I'll make the arrangements right now.

Miss Ji, you...

- Can I stay here alone for a bit? - I won't bother you, then.

If I told you I was a drug case hero, would you believe me?

All you need to know right now is that I'm still that same Yan Jin you know.

You're the only one in my heart.

I really miss my grandpa right now.

I wonder how he's doing.

Is he able to eat three meals a day?

Don't worry. The government will take good care of your grandpa.

Brother,

do you have people who are always in your thoughts?

Of course. I miss my old man, my mom, my younger sister,

and a... woman I'll never forget.

That woman must be beautiful.

Will you marry her after you get out?

Little brat, quit asking so many questions. Go to sleep.

My case will be going through its second court session in two days.

I can't sleep.

What did your lawyer say?

He said...

he's tried his best.

Brother,

do you think there's still hope in my life?

I hate myself. I hate myself.

I hate myself. Why did I do it?

- Ma Lin! - Why did I kill him? I'm an idiot!

Let me out! I don't want to die!

Brother Li, what did the judge rule for Ma Lin's case?

I'm really not a bad guy!

Just listen. Do you really need to ask?

The verdict remains the same: suspended death sentence.

Suspended sentencing for two years.

- Aiya. - I'm not a bad guy.

Actually, this is already pretty lucky.

- He just can't get himself to think of it that way. - He's still a child. - Is there someone there? Let me out!

He's young.

Guard Wang.

Guard Wang.

Guard Wang.

What's the matter?

How is Ma Lin?

Ma Lin is very unstable.

At this rate, something is bound to happen to him.

Can I request to go calm him down?

He sees me as an older brother. He'll listen to me.

Is anyone there?

Let me out! I don't want to die!

I'm not a bad guy! I'm really not a bad guy!

I'm not a bad guy!

I just miss my grandpa!

Let me out!

I'm not a bad guy.

I don't want to die!

Ma Lin! Someone is here to see you.

Brother. Brother!

I don't want to die! I can't die!

If I die, what will happen to my grandpa?

Why won't they give me a chance?

- I don't want to die. - Don't be so pessimistic.

Suspended sentence for two years. As long as you behave, you'll surely be able to shorten your sentence.

What's the use of a suspended sentence?

I won't be released this lifetime. If my grandfather dies, who will plan his funeral?

- I don't want to die! - That's enough!

Ma Lin!

I promise you.

As long as I get out, I will definitely take care of your grandpa

as if he were my own grandpa.

Don't worry.

Brother, do you know?

I also have a girl I really like.

Her name is Manman.

Before I got into trouble, I asked her out on a date to the movies.

But that day, I forgot to buy her flowers. I promised to get her flowers next time.

Now, I won't have a chance anymore.

Don't worry. As long as I can get out,

I'll bring her flowers for you.

I'll tell her what you said, too.

No, Brother. I...

It's best to let her forget me sooner than later.

Brother, there's one more thing I'd like to ask of you.

I don't know if I should say it, though.

What a nuisance. Go on.

Don't tell my grandpa I've been sentenced.

Just tell him I went abroad to work and earn money.

Fine. I'll send him money every month.

I'll tell him it's your salary.

Yan Jin, time's up.

You have to leave now.

Brother,

let me give this knit-sweater back to you.

Thank you.

You keep it.

You look better wearing it than I do.

You are really a bold one.

You have the guts to take over a big restaurant like 1/3 Seafood Restaurant?

If I don't, who will?

Yan Shen is so busy with Yan Jin's case that she doesn't even have time to sleep.

I have to help her.

However, 1/3 Seafood Restaurant

sounds like a pretty good place.

- Need my help? - Of course.

Hurry and help me advertise to your network of acquaintances.

Tell your friends and family to go there for a late-night snack. I'll give them a 50% discount.

No problem.

However... do you plan to go dressed like that?

What's wrong with that?

What should I say about you?

Not everyone can see the essence of phenomena.

Don't you know that clothes make a person?

It's a famous restaurant. You're not going to dress a bit more nicely?

They won't listen to you.

I don't need those. This is just fine.

What's fine about that?

If I didn't dress you up, you'd be a cinderella that no one cares about.

I happened to be looking at VIPshop and saw a few nice brands.

They all have discounts. Let me pick one for you.

There's no need.

Oh, shush. I'm buying it, okay? Transfer me 600 yuan.

Let me tell you! You have to listen to me on this.

We can't let them look down on us.

This one suits you. Look.

Just one look and I can tell you haven't been sleeping well.

Even your foundation can't cover your heavy eye circles.

You know when the court session will be, right?

There are still three more days.

From the look on your face, I guess that means this case is throwing a hard one at you?

Lately, I've reached out across my entire network

and looked at every single case file that I could get access.

In those case files,

the police had provided enough evidence to prove that you'd committed a felony.

Their evidence may seem perfect

but there is room for speculation.

Just based on the fact that my lighter showed up in the pocket of the corpse,

that's a total joke.

I've read over your refutes.

But those are just your own theories, and only represent one possibility.

There is no other evidence to prove that what you say is the only truth.

If there is no evidence to prove that I didn't kill anyone,

does that mean I am the one who killed them?

This is clearly a fallacy!

In reality, although the evidence provided by the police is not entirely perfect,

but they have everything from the motive, witness, and evidence.

It's sufficient for the court to rule you guilty.

Do we have any chance?

Of course.

I just told you, the police's evidence is not perfect.

Till now, they have yet to find the murder weapon and the location where the body was dismembered.

This is the best point we can make to break through and plead not guilty.

But we'll have to wait and see what the court decides

to see how well it will turn out.

So we just have to wait for the trial?

Unless the real criminal shows up within three days.

But that's obviously impossible.

I've been framed.

Who does Zhao Tinghui think he is?

He's going to give me a death sentence because he can't catch Liu Wei?

I won't let them have their way. I want to appeal.

Brother, I believe that you didn't kill Zhan Yu.

You have to trust me, too.

Regardless of whether or not Liu Wei can be arrested,

I won't let anything happen to you.

- Yan Shen— - Don't worry.

I will definitely win this court case.

Lawyer Yan, a package for you.

[Wu Zhu]

I believe you didn't kill Zhan Yu. You have to trust me, too.

Don't worry. I will definitely win this court case.

Even I wouldn't necessarily be able to win

a court case like this.

As long as I can find someone who witnessed Zhan Yu leaving my brother's house alive.

If you do that, not only will you lose the case,

you might also fall into their trap.

Don't hang up. Let me ask you! You didn't come home a few days ago, do you consider this your home? You still have a wife and child?

You think by giving a shitload of money every month, you don't have to give a shit?

Think carefully. This house, this car,

is from the Wu family. This has nothing to do with your money.

Who is it?

I'm telling you if you can live, live if you can't, then don't.

Who's afraid of who?

That's enough! Stop crying.

What's your problem? Why are you knocking on people's doors for no reason?

They have crawfish.

They also have those chicken wings you like.

Hello, Sir and Miss. Our restaurant's menu just released our new seafood barbecue.

Would you like to give it a try?

I heard this restaurant is pretty good. Do you want to try it?

1/3 Seafood Restaurant. It's that shady restaurant run by that murderer. I'm sure of it.

- Let's go. - Oh, okay.

Manager Yu.

I'm here.

Send people to the streets to solicit customers immediately.

The first 20 customers to come in get to eat for free.

Eat for free?

But Miss Ji, we're already losing money with our prices.

Chinese people like crowded, exciting places. The reason why passersby are scared to come in

is because they see that no one's inside.

Although we're losing money by treating these 20 customers to a meal,

we're also generating popularity for ourselves.

This money is worth it.

Okay, I'll give it a try.

You two, come with me.

Manager Chen, it's been a while since we've seen you!

I've been away on a business trip and got back just recently. You're running food stands now?

These are the new late-night snack stalls that we just started today.

Since you're already here, why don't you come on in?

- Do you want to eat? - It looks pretty good.

Manager Chen is a regular here. We'll give you a 20% discount tonight.

Find a good seat for Manager Chen!

Okay.

[1/3 Barbecue Food Stands]

Miss Ji!

We've earned back all of our rental and employee expenses.

We also made an extra 5,000 yuan or so. That's a great achievement for a first day.

We also had two regulars come today. Both are Director Yan's friends.

If this keeps up, 1/3 Seafood Restaurant will definitely be able to make a comeback.

I'll leave the rest to you then, Manager Yu.

From today onwards, I won't be coming here anymore.

But... Sister Yan told me to follow your instructions.

Yan Jin's case will be going to court soon.

I shouldn't show up around here to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble.

If there's anything urgent, we can still keep in touch.

- Okay. - Until next time.

Miss Ji,

thank you. I'm sure Director Yan will come back safe and sound.
