(Wu Bin)

Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu.

Don't sleep. Have another drink.

Mr. Wu, phone call.

Call for you, Mr. Wu.

Tell that person...

that I'm drinking.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Got it.

Drink up.

Hello.

Mr. Wu is drinking.

Talk tomorrow.

Please let Mr. Wu take the call.

It's urgent.

It's a woman.

It's a woman.

Hello.

Wu.

Ms. Fang.

I'm drinking.

Wu.

Have you heard from Xiuming?

I've been looking all day and still can't find him.

I haven't seen him.

No idea.

Alright.

If you hear anything,

call me right away.

Okay.

Okay.

Drink.

Let's keep drinking.

What's wrong with him?

He... what's...

What's wrong with him?

He can't.

What?

He can't handle his liquor.

He can't

perform.

A man who can't perform...

A man

who can't perform!

Tell me in detail.

What did you see today?

Early this morning,

my cousin and I were working in the vegetable field.

We saw someone lying there.

So we called the police.

Officer, we saw someone lying on the ground

covered in blood.

It was terrifying.

Did you see anyone else around?

No.

No.

You're here.

Tang.

Here's a photo of the victim.

It's Ye Xiuming.

Alright then.

I'll be in touch later.

Okay, goodbye.

I've called everyone I could.

No one knows where Mr. Ye is.

This is bad.

Something must've happened to him.

I doubt it.

It's just one night.

Maybe it was a last-minute trip,

and his phone battery died?

That's happened before.

This time feels different.

The Anti-abduction Office

came straight to our house.

They asked me

a lot of questions about him.

The Anti-abduction Office?

Why would they look for Mr. Ye?

Yeah, I asked them too.

I guess it's classified.

They wouldn't tell me.

I could ask Yanyan.

Right. I'll go find Yanyan.

Ms. Fang.

Ms. Fang...

(Nanjie Provincial People's Hospital)

Hello.

Where's the operating room?

This way.

Here, this way.

- Ms. Fang. - Ms. Fang.

How's my husband?

He's in emergency care.

(Emergency Treatment in Progress) He fell from a height.

We're still investigating the details.

He...

He fell?

How did he fall?

How did he fall?

Is he badly hurt?

How could this even happen?

Please don't panic.

Let's wait for the doctor's update.

Did something happen to him?

Did he break the law?

Did he commit a crime?

Why do you keep coming to our house,

but never tell me

what's really going on with him?

Did Xiuming break the law?

Sir...

I...

I'm his wife.

I want to know,

how is my husband?

Is he badly injured?

The patient has a skull fracture.

There's bleeding in the brain.

We just operated on him.

He's still unconscious for now.

Please,

I'm begging you to save him.

Stay calm.

Please, Sir, I'm begging you.

Please keep him alive.

Don't panic.

We'll do everything we can to save him.

I promise.

Please do everything you can to save him.

Yes, I will.

(Emergency Room)

(Emergency Room)

(Nanjie Provincial People's Hospital)

Please wake up.

(Ye Xiuming)

You're still here?

I'm sorry.

Earlier,

I completely lost control.

I was very rude to you.

It's alright.

Have a seat. Let's talk.

Okay.

Ms. Fang.

Last time at your house,

you told me that Ye Xiuming

was depressed after his tech company shut down

and had been drinking at home.

So

besides that,

was there anything else

that may have affected his mood?

Or maybe

anyone he was in contact with?

Actually...

Before the accident,

we

had a huge fight.

He thought I had something inappropriate

going on with Mr. Wu.

But in reality,

he just heard some gossip at the company.

I felt he didn't trust me at all.

So I...

I lashed out at him too.

I might have

hurt his pride.

So now Dingshun

is completely under Mr. Wu,

is that right?

Yes.

That too

was something

very hard on Xiuming.

He transferred all his shares

to

Wu Bin

and me.

Maybe he regretted it afterward.

I don't know.

If there are any updates in this case,

I really hope you'll

let me know right away.

Alright?

We will.

Honey.

Please wake up.

This is all my fault.

I shouldn't have argued with you.

You were already upset,

and I said such hurtful things to you.

I'm so sorry.

I love you so much.

It's just that things got so busy.

We were so busy

that we had no time,

no energy left

to even say "I love you".

Mr. Wu has already checked in.

Come in.

How's Mr. Ye?

Zilin.

Why don't you

go home and rest?

I'll take over for you.

You've been exhausted these past few days.

Besides, at home,

Qian needs you too.

Then talk to him more.

The doctor said

talking to him

can help wake him up.

Thank you.

Get some rest.

Zilin asked me

to talk to you more.

But what should I say?

Ye Xiuming,

you're one tough guy.

Even this didn't kill you.

Don't blame me for being ruthless.

I had no choice.

All these years,

what have you actually done?

(All the dirty, exhausting work)

(were handled by me.)

(Letter of Intent)

(Overseas Order Expenses) (Do you think)

(Qinmang) (you could land so many deals?)

(Legal Representative: Ye Xiuming)

(Let me be honest with you.)

(The entire Southeast Asia supply line)

(has been under my control for a long time.)

(And now,)

(Dingshun no longer belongs to you.)

(As for Zilin,)

(I'll take care of her.)

I know

you're worried about Zilin.

But don't worry.

After you're gone,

I'll treat her well.

I know you can hear me.

If you really love Zilin,

then just die.

Shift that camera view a bit to the left.

Captain Han, you wanted to see us?

Chang Rui.

Yan Lei, take a look.

This is the scene analysis report

from Ye Xiuming's case.

He didn't fall.

He was pushed.

Then does that mean

Ye Xiuming isn't Cripple?

And Director Deng no longer needs to avoid

and can return to the Anti-abduction Office.

That's right.

I'll submit the request to Chief Xiao.

(Nanjie Provincial People's Hospital)

Honey.

Let me give you a massage.

Does that feel good?

I remember when we first started our business.

The company

was just the two of us.

You were exhausted every day, back aching, and shoulders sore.

But you didn't want to spend money on a massage.

Back then,

I took on the role of your personal masseuse.

I didn't even know what I was doing,

just randomly pressing.

And you kept humoring me.

You said, "Honey, you're amazing at this".

"Better than the pros

at the massage place".

I laughed so hard that day.

You were just trying to make me happy, weren't you?

Please wake up soon.

Alright?

Honey,

I miss you so much.

Please wake up soon, okay?

(Ward A8)

Come in.

Yanyan.

Zilin.

Don't worry.

The doctor said your cousin is out of danger now.

The coma is only temporary.

My parents are still out of town.

I don't even know how to tell them about this.

Then don't tell them yet.

Wait a little while.

Let's see how your cousin does,

and then decide.

How have you been lately?

You work during the day,

and come here at night to care for my cousin.

You need to rest too.

It's not too bad, actually. Don't worry.

Sometimes Mr. Wu comes to help.

You mean Wu Bin?

On the night of my cousin's accident,

were the two of them together?

That night,

they weren't together.

I couldn't reach your cousin at all,

so I called Mr. Wu.

He was drinking at the time,

and he was very drunk.

It was with some company clients.

Your colleagues at the Anti-abduction Office

questioned me several times.

Is it because

Xiuming

was involved in a case?

I know you have to avoid any conflict of interest

and can't say much.

But if there's any development in the case,

including why he fell from the building,

please tell me right away, okay?

I promise you.

Thank you.

Director Deng, you're back.

You're back.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm back.

Have a seat.

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

What does everyone think about Ye Xiuming's fall?

Two things are fairly clear now.

First,

based on the crime scene,

Ye Xiuming didn't jump.

He was pushed off the building.

Second,

Ye Xiuming is no longer a shareholder of Dingshun.

He voluntarily transferred his shares to Fang Zilin and Wu Bin.

That contradicts Liu Gang's statement.

If Ye Xiuming wasn't the main beneficiary of Dingshun,

then Fang Zilin and Wu Bin look more suspicious.

We spoke to Dingshun's employees.

In reality,

Fang Zilin has long been semi-retired.

She hasn't been involved in management

or business operations for a long time.

Also,

all evidence points to Cripple being a man.

That makes Wu Bin the top suspect.

Fang Zilin told me

Lu Sheng's order

was brokered by Wu Bin.

We reviewed all the information again.

Cripple is a well-known trafficker around Nanjie.

He somehow ended up at Dingshun

as a vice president.

If Wu Bin really is Cripple,

that means Huang Chuan, Madam Hong, Liu Gang and the others

were part of his criminal network before he changed identities.

Fei Yan, Skinner, Whiteboard,

those are part of his new identity's

current criminal network.

Ye Xiuming must've found out something about Wu Bin.

So Wu Bin tried to silence him.

The cunning thing about Wu Bin

is how well he covers his tracks.

We don't have a single solid piece of evidence.

Once Ye Xiuming wakes up,

at the very least, Wu Bin can be charged

with attempted murder.

Right now, what we need to do

is find the evidence.

Zilin.

I came today to ask you about someone.

Someone from your company,

Wu Bin.

Ma'am,

take Qian inside, please.

Alright.

Qian, let's go play in the room.

See you in a bit.

Actually, I was the one

who introduced Wu Bin to the company.

At first, he was just Xiuming's driver.

Later, your cousin felt

he was dependable

and quick on his feet,

so he made an exception and promoted him.

To be fair, he didn't let your cousin down.

Every single project

was completed flawlessly.

So he kept getting promoted within the company.

He even helped Dingshun

survive a major crisis.

From driver to where he is now...

Looks like

you and Xiuming really trusted Wu Bin.

To be honest, we've always

trusted Wu Bin.

He was involved in everything, big or small.

Later, when your cousin got busy with the tech company,

he even handed over the company

to me and Wu Bin to manage.

Then, after Qian came,

pretty much all

company affairs were handled solely by Wu Bin.

Then Zilin,

why did you recommend Wu Bin to the company?

Did you know him before?

To be honest,

I do feel responsible.

I was the one who brought him in.

But the reason I did it

was due to a bit of personal guilt.

I wanted

to repay him.

Back when I was working my first job,

one day I left really late.

As I walked through an alley,

a few drunk men suddenly appeared.

They started,

you know,

harassing me.

Wu Bin suddenly showed up

and beat the daylights

out of those guys.

One of them was seriously injured.

Wu Bin ended up going to prison for it.

After that, I thought,

this man

had saved me.

No matter what,

I had to find a way

to repay him.

So when he got out of prison,

the first thing I did

was bring him into

the company.

I arranged for him to be your cousin's driver.

We did look into Wu Bin before.

We found out he had a criminal record.

But we didn't know

that he went to jail

because of you.

So,

did my cousin know he'd been in prison?

I never told him.

It wasn't exactly something to be proud of.

I figured, since we were working together,

it'd be better to keep things simple.

It didn't affect anything at work anyway.

So I just never told him.

Zilin,

you were the victim in all this.

You don't need to feel guilty about it.

It's alright.

With everything that's happened to your cousin,

I blame myself.

I really regret it.

I

shouldn't have

fought with him like that.

But what's done is done.

Now I just have to find a way...

To find a way

to fix it.

It's okay, Zilin.

My cousin will get better.

And you

don't worry about us.

You've got your own work to handle.

Take care of yourself.

And I'll focus on

taking care of your cousin,

be patient with him,

and love him.

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

We just received

a message from Qinmang's liaison, Zou Yuhuai.

He said the overseas account Liu Gang mentioned,

the one that was used to wire money to Cripple,

belongs to Jiji Trading.

That's the same company

that helped Mu Zhenliang adopt Mu Haobo.

Did we find anything else about that company?

Its background is pretty mysterious.

This is all we could dig up.

I'm thinking

maybe we should talk to Mu Zhenliang again.

He probably knows more.

But he's already gone back to Gangcheng.

Should we go find him?

No need.

There's someone else in Linshan.

I already asked my dad about it.

The investment in Dingshun

was actually arranged

by Wu Bin of Dingshun Group.

Oh, right,

my dad also said

he wasn't the one who invested in Dingshun.

It was actually a company called Jiji Trading.

Are you sure the company's name is Jiji Trading?

Yes.

They sent the money to my dad

and used his name for the investment.

In the end, they even gave him 10% of the shares.

How much was the total investment?

23 million.

You worked at Dingshun

for quite a while, right?

Yes.

I was in charge of finance at Dingshun the whole time.

Why did you suddenly quit?

It was Mr. Wu.

During our last partnership with Lu Sheng's company,

something went wrong with the insurance.

He used that as an excuse to fire me.

Why did he push you out?

Because I discovered

he was doing shady stuff

at Dingshun behind Mr. Ye's back.

And you told Ye Xiuming about it?

Yes.

Give me that.

Give me that.

- Madam Zhang. - Give me that.

Careful.

What are you doing?

Didn't we agree to close the shop?

What do you mean by that?

We agreed to shut it down for a few days

so you could rest for a while.

Who are you?

You think you can just shut it down?

Put everything back.

Take those down.

- Put everything back! - Okay...

Okay, we're putting it down.

Put them over there.

- Don't be upset. - Back in place.

Okay, okay. Back in place.

What do you think you're doing?

What are you doing?

What do you think you're doing?

Who told you to take them down?

Move!

- Calm down, Madam Zhang. - Okay.

What...

Madam Zhang, that's dangerous.

What are you doing? Move!

We'll put them up...

Get out of my way!

- Slow down. - Don't climb up.

It's too dangerous.

Get away! Didn't I tell you?

If you take down

the children's photos,

they won't make it home.

Do you understand?

Yes...

How about this?

Come down and I'll help you put them back up, okay?

Please come down.

You're a bad person.

Get up.

What are you doing? Get away!

Get away from me.

What are you trying to do?

What are you doing? Get away!

You don't want Ranran to come home?

- Get away! - Madam Zhang...

Get away!

Are you alright? Easy.

Madam Zhang.

Get away from me!

- Get away, all of you! - Your hands are bleeding.

Let's put the chair down.

Get away...

You don't want Ranran to come home!

Can we please put the chair down?

Move! All of you, move!

Alright. We'll leave.

Get away! Move!

We're done. We'll stop.

Move...

Get out.

- Get out. - Madam Zhang.

Move...

(Mom!)

I'm home!

Ranran?

Ranran is back.

Madam Zhang, what's going on?

Come on...

Ranran is back.

Get away!

- Madam Zhang. - Ranran.

Ranran.

These bad people

wanted to shut us down so you couldn't come back.

But she came back, didn't she?

Ranran...

School's out?

Why aren't you wearing your red scarf?

Ranran,

your hair

still

looks best with two braids, one on each side.

Did you have a test today?

How did it go?

Not so well?

You don't want to tell Mom, do you?

That's okay.

Just try harder next time.

Mom.

I got a hundred.

You scored a hundred?

My Ranran is amazing.

A perfect score.

Didn't you say that if I got a hundred,

you'd take me to the aquarium?

That's right, to the aquarium.

When would you like to go?

Anytime. We can go whenever you want.

How great, a perfect score.

Mom.

Wherever you want to go,

just tell me.

I'll take you.

As long as I'm with you,

anywhere is fine.

Ranran.

Promise Mom,

from now on,

you'll never leave me again, okay?

Okay?

Okay.

Pinky swear.

Pinky swear, hang it high, no backing out for a hundred years.

Deal.

(Dingshun Group)

Ms. Zhang.

Why haven't any contracts

or financial reports

been delivered to my office lately?

Ms. Fang, the finance manager said

I should just send them directly to Mr. Wu.

I want to see them now.

Please go get them for me.

I'm talking to you.

Give me the contracts and financial reports.

(Overseas Order Expenses. Amount. Handled by: Wu Bin)

(Legal Representative's Signature: Ye Xiuming)

(Export Order Contract)

(Legal Representative's Signature: Ye Xiuming)

Where's the finance manager?

She's not in yet.

Call her.

Sorry, Ms. Fang.

I'm late.

Explain this to me.

Why were full advance payments made

on so many major recent orders?

More importantly,

the legal representative has already changed.

It's no longer Mr. Ye.

Then why is every single contract

still signed with Ye Xiuming's name?

I'm not really sure.

I was just following instructions.

Mr. Wu's here.

The two of you

have been with me for so many years.

But something this serious...

I'm truly disappointed.

(Finance Department. Legal Department.)

Ms. Zhang, who told you to show her that?

(Finance Department. Legal Department.)

Zilin.

In the future,

if you want to see the contracts

and financial statements,

just let me know in advance.

I won't hide anything from you.

Ye Xiuming's signature...

You forged it, didn't you?

I'll explain later, okay?

Wu.

How's Mr. Ye doing?

When we have time,

let's go visit him.

(Nanjie Provincial People's Hospital)

(Nurse Station)

(Ye Xiuming)

If you need anything, just call me.

Okay.

(Ward A8)

Why is there a new doctor?

Shift change.

(Ward A8)

Go on in.

Dr. Zhang? Aren't you supposed to be off shift?

Which department are you from?

Stop!

Freeze!

Stop right there!

Stop!

Stop!

Freeze!

Stop!

- Grab him! - Stop!

Stop!

Freeze!

- Get him! - Stop!

- Open the door! - Open up!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Open up!

Open the door!

Open up!

Open the door!

You're not getting away. This is the 18th floor.

Open up!

Open the door!

Now!

(I've failed. Farewell, Sir.)

Open up!

Open the door!

Hurry!

Open the door!

Open up!

Put the knife down.

Calm down.

You're not getting away now.

Come on.

Give me the knife.
