[Road to Success]

[Episode 28]

Long time no see, Ms. Lin.

Director Qian.

I must apologize to you and the school.

If the school decides to discipline me,

I will accept whatever decision is made.

Actually, according to
the school's regulations,

being absent from work for 3 days

is grounds for dismissal.

Director Qian.

I don't have to return to my post,

but please allow me

to continue serving as
the football team supervisor.

I'm willing to work for free.

How is that possible?

Think about it, how could the school

hire someone
who isn't a teacher at the school

to serve as the supervisor?

However,

you didn't actually skip work.

You filed a leave request.

Right, right.

Here.

Look,

I even signed it.

[Request for Leave for Teachers of
Hongjing No. 8 High]

[Dear Director, I'm writing to request
19 days of leave due to health issues.]

[I kindly ask for your approval.
Thank you.]

[Person Covering Duties: Wang Fa]
[Applicant: Lin Wanxing]

Wang Fa...

Having a family member fill out
the leave request for you

isn't a serious violation of principle.

Ms. Lin.

Just go back to work

once you recover.

Thank you, Director Qian.

[Dear Director Qian. With the exams
approaching, the team urgently needs...]

So Qian also reads poems?

[If I can stop one heart from breaking,]

[I shall not live in vain.]

Director Qian.

Can I borrow a book from you?

A book?

What book?

That red poetry collection.

Sure.

I'm all for

young people reading.

Here you are.

[The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson]

Thank you.

It's so nice

to have Ms. Lin back.

Even this cucumber tastes sweet.

I wonder what Ms. Lin wants to see us for.

Guys.

Ms. Lin.

Thank you for the fruit.

I just went to Director Qian's office

and borrowed a poetry collection from him.

Look.

There's a dog-eared corner on this page

of the poetry collection.

[If I can stop one heart from breaking,]

[I shall not live in vain.]

This looks familiar.

Isn't this the poem from the fax?

[If I can ease one life the aching,]

[or cool one pain,]

So the mystery person is Qian?

But that can't be right.

The writing on my football lending card

was handwritten,

and it doesn't match his handwriting.

I was thinking about that too.

Let's go over everything
from the beginning together.

First,

we found the football lending card
in Chen Jianghe's desk drawer,

then the crossword puzzle

in Qin Ao's desk drawer.

And finally

that map in my desk drawer.

So these clues prove

that whoever wrote the note
on the football lending card

must know us very well.

I agree.

But who could it be?

I think

I may have figured out who it is.

I'm going to go ask Director Qian
for a straight answer.

Do you guys know

where he usually goes after school?

To Hongyang Park to play chess.

Rain or shine, he never misses it.

Check.

-Corner knight check.
-Grandma, look.

-I know how to ride it.
-Be careful.

Darn it, a corner knight check followed by
a cannon.

Unbeatable.

You're done for.

I'm done playing with you.

I'm going home
to take care of my grandson.

I'm done playing with you.

You're running off after just one game?

You still owe me a meal.

Let's continue tomorrow.

Ms. Lin.

Director Qian.

Let me play

this game with you.

That would be great.

Come on.

You go first.

Knight jump.

Did you come to see me
about something, Ms. Lin?

Director Qian.

Thank you

for everything.

Thank me?

I haven't done anything to deserve it.

If you have something to say, just say it.

Letting me come to work at Hongjing

and become the football team supervisor,

helping the team get reorganized—

which one of these things wasn't something
you helped with behind the scenes?

Am I right?

Elaborate on that.

Stuffing a colorful box
filled with puzzles

into a student's desk drawer

without fear of being caught—

that must have been done
by someone with a classroom key.

There aren't many people

who have keys to multiple classrooms,

but you're one of them.

Go on.

One of the puzzles was a crossword puzzle,

which happens to be your interest

and something you're best at.

"If I can stop one heart

from breaking..."

It was precisely this poem

that convinced me

you were the mystery person.

Today,

when you asked to
borrow that poetry collection,

I already knew.

Knowing the students inside and out

wouldn't be difficult for you.

But the mystery person knows me
to a degree

that you couldn't possibly achieve.

So I guess

there's more than one mystery person.

There's another one.

Could it be my grandpa?

You're just like your grandpa—

playing chess to mess with
my train of thought.

That's unsportsmanlike.

That makes sense then.

But I have one more question.

Only internal staff can register for

an email account at Hengjiu.

So...

Have you ever heard the boys

talk about Coach Jiang
of the football team?

Of course I have.

Jiang had a son named Jiang Xun.

He works at Hengjiu

as the general manager's
administrative assistant.

After Jiang passed away
due to an accident,

he put all the pieces together
and figured out what had happened.

This Jiang Xun

was your grandfather's favorite disciple.

While your grandfather was in hospital,

he often went to visit him.

Wanxing...

When Wanxing was 5 or 6,

she

asked me all the time,

"Grandpa, why is my name Wanxing
and not something about the moon?"

I said, "Wanxing,

there are many stars,

but only one moon."

She said she wanted to be the moon.

I told her it was better to be a star.

Darling.

Here.

I forgot to tell you.

I don't feel like eating.

Then you eat it.

What?

I...

It's delicious.

Come on,

take it. Come on.

Jiang Xun.

Thank you for coming to see me

and listening to me ramble on for so long.

Pardon me.

Pardon me.

I'm your student.

It's only natural.

Actually, the one

he's most worried about is Wanxing.

Don't worry.

Wanxing is such an outstanding person.

She'll be fine.

Time truly flies.

It's already been a year
since your father passed away.

If I could see him,

I'd tell Jiang

that he had a wonderful son.

You have to thank me, you know?

Sure. Thank you.

Your grandpa and grandma

wanted you to get back on your feet,

while Jiang Xun

wanted to carry on his father's legacy

to keep the football team going.

The two of them hit it off right away

and came up with
the "mystery person" plan.

We've made a decision.

You carry it out.

-God, the first step is the probate.
-The plan was missing an executor,

so they asked me

to take on that role.

-It's "work hard."
-Oh, it's "work hard."

Look at the way you wrote "hard."

[Action Plan]

Have Wanxing teach at Hongjing No. 8 High.

Great. Applause.

Great.

[Wanxing, I'll be gone soon.]

The first step of the plan

was for your grandpa
to write you a letter,

suggesting that you come to teach
at Hongjing No. 8 High.

[Remember to eat well and live well.]

And that letter

set our mysterious plan in motion.

First,

it was to bring you
to Hongjing No. 8 High,

so that the football team
could have a new backbone.

Second,

it was to help you
become part of the football team,

so that you and the boys
could support and save each other.

Look.

This would do.

First, that 100-time football lending card

was meant to spark your curiosity
about football.

Wonderful.

"Start over from the beginning"—

does this work?

It needs to be more positive.

"Dare to be the first."

-Leave the kids some room for imagination.
-That's right.

Cross it out. Cross it out.

Second,

[Make a great coup]

the crossword puzzle

was meant to give you a new understanding
of the football team.

Let it dry a bit.

Put it here.

[Calculate the value of
Euler's totient function]

[Calculate]

The third was that mysterious map.

It was meant to help you and the kids

find a new home.

Just take this place and...

This...

[Wanxing, I'll be gone soon. It's a shame]

[we didn't get to see each other
one last time.]

[Lin Xunya]

Jiang and your grandfather both
passed away with unfulfilled concerns.

So of course, Jiang Xun and I

wanted to carry on with this

and fulfill their final wishes—

to let the lost Wanxing
and the helpless kids

illuminate each other.

I think as for Coach Wang,

it was indeed an accident.

But I still believe

it was precisely because
you're such a nice person

that God

placed Wang Fa in this difficult chapter

of your life.

And finally, he told me

that once you discovered the truth,

there would be one final gift
for me to give you.

He hoped to tell you

about it himself

in a happy place.

Of course,

Jiang Xun also had something
he wanted to say to the kids.

Kids,

I'm sorry.

Your old man Jiang here

has to...

Has to break his promise.

I promised

I'd lead you to win the championship.

But I...

I won't be able to do it.

I feel very guilty.

In my heart,

you guys

have been champions all along.

Fu Xinshu,

Yu Ming,

Zhi Hui,

Zheng Ren,

and...

Zheng Feiyang,

Qi Liang,

Lin Lu,

Qin Ao,

Chen Jianghe,

Feng Suo,

and Jiang Tianyu.

I will remember

every single one of you.

I hope

that even without me,

you guys...

You guys will still

continue to

love football.

Kids,

good...

Good...

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Hello, guys.

I'm Jiang Xun, Coach Jiang's son.

A little over 2 years ago—

right around the time you guys

first started at Hongjing No.8 High—

my dad fell seriously ill.

He remained unconscious for a long time,

so I took him to Yongchuan,
where I worked, for treatment.

During his time

in the ICU,

he never regained consciousness.

Then, on the morning of
the day he passed away,

he suddenly opened his eyes and told me

he wanted to record a message for you.

Which is the one you just saw.

What I want to tell you is

that your Coach Jiang,

even during those days
when he was unconscious,

never once thought about giving up on you.

Is it all set?

Wanxing.

How's your life been going
at No. 8 High School?

Have those kids on the football team

been bothering you so much that

you've had no time to think about me?

I'm very happy.

I know

it might not be long—

maybe just 3 months,

or maybe longer.

But I just know

that you'll definitely see this video.

You've been through a lot lately.

Get ready to run.

Okay.

-It's her.
-It's her.

It's her.

So it's her.

Yeah, I wouldn't have known
if you didn't tell me.

She's such a homewrecker.

-So it was her you were talking about?
-Yeah, it's her.

-What was that?
-Shut up!

What do you want?

-What's wrong with you?
-Shut up!

What are you looking at?

-What do you think you're doing?
-Alright, alright.

Anything you want to say?

-Let's go.
-Yeah, let's go.

Ms. Lin,

ignore them.

I'm okay.

Go run.

Let's go.

Are you okay?

After all this time,

I've come to understand this:

the rumors won't stop.

But until the truth comes to light,

I need to learn to stop blaming myself.

You mean

you had guessed it was Xiang Zi all along?

I never tried to verify it.

Before,

I didn't even have the courage to face it.

There were two pieces of evidence
used to frame me.

When Professor Shu committed suicide,

there was a photo from my trip
tucked in his book.

Director Jia from the department

also used that very photo

to question my relationship
with Professor Shu.

I had many copies of that set of photos

printed back then.

I guess

the one they found was taken from
those copies without my knowledge.

Then,

what was the other evidence?

It was a video supposedly showing
me going to Professor Shu's hotel room

during the
China Psychological Research Symposium.

Hotel surveillance footage?

The person in that video wasn't me,

but they were dressed and styled

exactly like I was.

No matter how I argued,

they wouldn't believe me,

and they said my attempts to defend myself
only made me look even more suspicious.

Do you still have

that video?

After it happened,

I tried to ask the hotel for that footage.

They told me

the surveillance footage
had already been overwritten,

and that they couldn't let me have it

due to guest privacy.

Hotel surveillance footage

couldn't possibly have been overwritten
that quickly.

There must be more to this.

Besides the hotel,

was that video

circulated anywhere else?

It circulated on the school forum

for a while back then,

but the original post has been deleted.

Don't worry.

We'll find the original source somehow.

We'll figure something out.

Back then,

I was trapped in a struggle
to prove my innocence.

This time,

I'll uncover the truth

[Director Jia]

and reclaim the justice
that was taken from me.

[Hello, Director Jia.]

Hello, Director Jia.

This is Lin Wanxing.

I'd like to ask you about something

[Director Jia]

concerning that previous video.

Coach.

Ms. Lin.

We're here to deliver food.

So early?

Isn't your class in the evening?

We just wanted to see
if there's anything we can do to help.

We just received the video

that was used to frame Ms. Lin back then.

We're trying to see
if we can find any flaws.

Really? Let's do it together then.

Many hands make light work.

That's right.

Ms. Lin,

this...

Although that person dressed like me,

it really wasn't me.

Xiang Zi knows you very well,

so it wouldn't be difficult for him
to impersonate you.

But this video alone

isn't enough to prove
that the person in it was Xiang Zi.

There must be some inconsistency.

Let's keep looking.

Look.

Before going in,

did he turn his neck left and right

and then pat it?

Indeed.

If you don't look closely,

you'd think he was fixing his hair.

And because he had long hair,

it wasn't obvious.

It's him.

[Yuanyuan Tutoring Class]

That's one of his habitual gestures.

He does this whenever he gets nervous.

Then what are we waiting for?

Let's just have the police arrest him.

Exactly.

But a mere habitual gesture

isn't enough to serve as evidence.

Then what should we do next?

How do we collect more evidence?

Let me have a try.

I'll go online and check

if there's any other information.

Make some room.

[Yuanyuan Tutoring Class]

[Console]

You know how to do this?

This is called web scraping.

It automatically gathers
publicly available information online,

like the school website

and videos posted by
student organizations.

Since they're public,
accessing them is completely legal.

[Console]

[Yuanyuan Tutoring Class]

Will this really work?

I could finish a dungeon by now.

With your poor skills,
you'd be dead in 3 minutes.

[The Educational Delegation
from Yongchuan University]

[Visited and Extended Warm Greetings
to Overseas Students in the UK]

Gather around.

It's nice to see you all.

We'll need you to attend
tomorrow's seminar.

[The Educational Delegation
from Yongchuan University]

[Visited and Extended Warm Greetings
to Overseas Students in the UK]

Okay.

And

if possible, please share

your experiences studying abroad
over the past few years.

[The Educational Delegation
from Yongchuan University]

[Visited and Extended Warm Greetings
to Overseas Students in the UK]

[The Educational Delegation
from Yongchuan University]

[Visited and Extended Warm Greetings
to Overseas Students in the UK]

That gesture was exactly the same
as the one in the surveillance footage.

This should be solid proof, right?

Whether we can be absolutely certain

still depends on
the police's further investigation.

Tomorrow, we'll take all of this
to the police station

and see if the evidence is sufficient.

Think about it, he was actually able to
impersonate Ms. Lin.

Who knows what other
disgusting things he might be hiding?

Like clothes he's worn

or wigs he's used.

If he really has this kind of fetish,

finding those items would prove

that he had been deliberately
imitating Ms. Lin for a long time.

No.

He's too dangerous.

You must not approach him.

But...

Understood.

Let's eat.

Alright. Let's eat.

Ms. Lin.

I think I had too much bubble tea.

My stomach hurts a little.

I need to use the restroom.

Are you okay?

I'm okay. Don't worry.

What was that about?

[Leippya Counseling Services]

Xiang Zi's address?

You actually found it.

Villains die from talking too much,

while heroes

win by pulling surprise attacks.

Surpri...

You're going to Xiang Zi's place
to collect evidence?

Sneaky. That's really sneaky of you.

No.

It's way too dangerous.

It's okay.

Qin Ao and I can handle it.

You have something more important to do:

keep Ms. Lin occupied.

That's right.

You must not let them find out
what we're going to do.

Okay then.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Share your location with me at all times.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

This is the place.

How do we get up there?

Okay, then let's take Lulu along.

Okay.

We'll sneak in with them.

Once we're up, I'll distract him,

and you look for the evidence.

Who are you?

Ma'am, we just moved in.

Let me hold it. Let me.

Thanks.

What do you want to have for dinner?

How about pig trotters?

This is it.

Who are you looking for?

We're here to see you,

Mr. Xiang Zi.

Who are you?

We are Ms. Lin Wanxing's students.

We're here to ask you

something about her college days.

Mr. Xiang Zi.

Did she send you here?

No, no.

Ms. Lin told us
not to get involved in her affairs.

But we didn't want to just
watch her be falsely accused,

so we secretly took her college roster

and wanted to help her
investigate them one by one

to help clear her name.

That's right.

M-Mr. Xiang Zi.

You're Ms. Lin's senior.

Classmates would surely

be willing to help each other,

right?

Come on in.

Here are the slippers.

Thank you, Mr. Xiang Zi.

Keep the door open.

Did your teacher ever mention me to you?

Ms. Lin never mentioned

anything about her time
at Yongchuan University.

I see.

I actually also want to know

how she's been doing lately.

Come on.

Have a seat.

I'll go get you some water.

How's your revision going?

N-Not bad.

I'm working on irregular verbs.

Is something on your mind?

Actually, I've been thinking about
the match.

Did Qin Ao and Wen Chengye really go home?

They suddenly got into an argument,

and then they had a falling-out.

They both went home afterward.

Fu Xinshu.

You're lying.

When you answered that question,

your pupils shifted toward
the upper right.

That's a typical response
associated with fabricated memories.

Fu Xinshu.

Where did Wen Chengye and Qin Ao go?

I really don't know.

Tell me the truth.

Did they go see Xiang Zi?

My stomach is upset.

Have some water.

Mr. Xiang Zi.

My stomach hurts really bad.

Where is the bathroom?

On the second floor.

This way.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

How's your teacher

been doing recently?

Someone maliciously spread rumors

about her on the school forum.

She...

She broke down

and left for a while.

But

our coach already brought her back.

Wang Fa brought her back?

You know our coach's name?

Then you must be quite close to Ms. Lin...

It's okay.

-I'm sorry. I really am.
-It's okay.

I'm really sorry.

It's okay.

I'm really sorry.

Ms. Lin and I were taught

by the same professor.

How has she been after she came back?

She...

Her condition even worsened
after she came back.

A lot of people at school
have been spreading rumors about her,

and she's been crying almost every day.

Is that so?

She's not the type to cry easily.

It seems that this incident

must have been a huge blow to her.

Mr. Xiang Zi.

Do you have any information or leads

about Ms. Lin being falsely accused

at school?

I don't have any particular leads.

She was falsely accused?

Of course.

I heard about
what happened to Ms. Lin before—

that incident you called
a false accusation.

If I remember correctly,
they said back then

that the evidence was sufficient,

so the school didn't intervene too much.

That's all I know.

Qin!

Are you done shitting?

Qin Ao?

Qin Ao!

Mr. Xiang Zi.

I'll go.

Mr. Xiang Zi, I'll go.

Mr. Xiang Zi! Mr. Xiang Zi!

What are you doing?

What are you filming?

Give me your phone!

It was nothing, Mr. Xiang Zi.

Give me the phone!

It was nothing, Mr. Xiang Zi.

-Run!
-Give me the phone!

Qin, stall him!

Get back here!

Give me the phone!

Run!

Get back here!

Run!

Let me go!

I won't let go no matter what!

Let go!

Let go!

Let me go!

Give me the phone!

Don't give it to him!

I won't give it to you no matter what!

The phone!

Qin!

-Give me the phone!
-Hold him down!

Give me the phone!

I am holding him!

Give me the phone!

I am holding him!

Give it to me!

Coach.

Ms. Lin.

We took pictures of the clothes and wig

he used to impersonate you.

Since we found out his dark secret,

he wouldn't let us leave.

So you two were indeed sent by her.

Is a loose woman like her

really worth all your effort?

I dare you to say that again!

Come on.

Beat me to death!

Beat me to death! Come on!

Stop!

Let me talk to him in private.

No!

Don't worry.

It's just the two of us now.

There's no need to keep up the act
anymore.

You impersonated me

and deliberately let
the surveillance camera

capture you
going into Professor Shu Yong's room

just to slander and frame me.

What did I ever do to you?

Lin Wanxing,

turn off the recording.

I know

you're just trying to
trick me into confessing.

[Recording]

[Recorder]

You can talk now.

I framed you?

Lin Wanxing.

I was only upholding my own justice.

You ruined me,

so of course I had to make you pay.

What nonsense are you talking about?

I ruined you?

Playing dumb, huh?

Weren't you the one who kept sending me

flirtatious signals?

Xiang Zi,

stop flattering yourself.

Me flattering myself?

Me flattering myself?

Once could be wishful thinking,

but was it really the case
every single time?

Lin Wanxing,

you haven't changed at all—

you dare to do it but not own up to it.

Why would I admit to

something I never did?

Just because I turned you down,

you held a grudge against me,

and you dragged so many innocent people
to their deaths?

Was it me?

It was you, okay?

Lin Wanxing.

Aren't you curious about
how Shu Yong died?

I'll tell you right now.

Remember the day I tried to
give you the butterfly specimen,

but you wouldn't take it no matter what?

Right,

it was also the day Shu Yong

gave you the recommendation spot.

Xiang Zi,

is there anything urgent?

I need to talk to you.

It's about the recommendation spot,
isn't it?

Do you have any idea how hard

I worked for this spot?

Why did it go to Lin Wanxing in the end?

How is she better than me?

Is it just because
her father is the director?

Xiang Zi.

Recommendation selections

evaluate research competence,

academic achievements,

and long-term potential

comprehensively.

Lin Wanxing truly stands out

in all these aspects.

Stands out?

In what way?

She's nothing but a flirt.

I don't want to hear

such baseless rumors anymore.

Xiang Zi.

You should know

that integrity is paramount

in academia.

What are you implying?

Are your thesis data

100% authentic?

I'll never grant the recommendation spot

to someone guilty of academic misconduct.

Professor.

Are you saying that in academia,

integrity comes first?

Yes.

Well, if that's the case...

Physicians cannot heal themselves.

[Sertraline Hydrochloride Tablets]

Professor.

Your mental state has been

rather unstable lately.

Get out!

As the most authoritative mentor
in psychology,

[Certificate of Honor]

can you truly call yourself honest?

Would you dare let me
look into your paper

from 20 years ago?

[Certificate of Honor]

You built your reputation
as a leading expert

in this field
through academic misconduct.

Where is your integrity?

How did you find out?

I happened to

pick a research topic

similar to yours,

so I thoroughly looked into

your profile

and studied every single paper
you have published.

I told you, I'm a very hardworking person.

Professor.

Surely you understand that

every action

leaves traces behind.

Back during your postdoctoral research,

you hit a wall

and desperately needed published papers.

If I hadn't chanced upon

a relevant thesis,

I might never have discovered

that a set of experimental data
you published

was plagiarized from someone else.

Give me Lin Wanxing's recommendation spot,

and I'll keep this secret for you.

What do you say?

You only have 3 days.

-Hello, Professor.
-Hello, Professor.

Hello.

-Professor.
-Hello, Professor.

Hello, Professor.

Professor Shu.

Have you made up your mind?

A reminder—

you've only got 2 days left.
