[OVERDO]

[Episode 11]

Why are you here?

This is a photo of your adoptive mother.

Why burn it?

She was trapped in the Li family her whole life.

Now that she’s gone,

I couldn’t let her

stay trapped in the Li family’s shadow.

Then why not keep it?

I’m not her real child.

What about Li Boze?

Li Boze deserves it even less.

Was your adoptive mother...

good to you?

On the contrary.

She treated me very badly.

After taking the wrong child,

the older I got, the less I looked like Li Rongzhang.

I was considered a bastard.

She couldn't defend herself.

Driven crazy by

Li Rongzhang's torment,

she took all her resentment out on me.

But she was also the only one

who, when I was beaten

unconscious by Li Rongzhang,

would apply medicine to my wounds.

Do you know

why Li Rongzhang made me eat raw meat?

Why?

It was also a rainy day.

My adoptive mother had just passed away.

I was all alone in the huge Li residence,

feeling very lonely.

By coincidence, I found

a stray puppy in the backyard.

I felt

it was just like me

and wanted to adopt it.

Little did I know...

Father.

Where did you get that?

Give it to me.

No.

Give it to me!

No!

Lock him up.

Don't give him any food.

Give me back my dog!

Give it back!

I found it in the backyard!

Give it back to me!

Just like that,

he starved me for 3 days.

Three days later, that door finally opened.

My expression when I saw the raw meat

was exactly the same as yours now.

This was the way Li Rongzhang

wanted to teach me to survive.

In the face of survival,

nothing else matters.

I was taught this way by him for 12 years.

You don't need to pity me.

I just can't control

my body's instinctive reaction to him.

But at least

I can resist the fear.

Isn't it starting to work now?

It's not pity.

I just understand you.

He destroyed you,

but he also molded you.

In front of its creator,

a piece of work

is utterly defenseless.

Yes.

You are right.

He is a monster.

Raised by him,

I am a monster too.

That's why

three years ago,

I could sense something fishy in your letter.

You and I

are essentially the same kind of people.

Maybe what you are doing now

has something to do

with Xiaolan back then.

It has nothing to do with you.

Ren Susu,

no one in this world understands you better than I do.

You can tell me everything.

Having an ally is better than fighting alone.

I don't need allies.

Alright.

Fine.

Since we can't be allies,

then I must warn you.

Turn yourself in,

or leave Murong Qingyu.

Otherwise,

you'll bear the consequences.

Have you forgotten the lesson of the blood wedding dress already?

You really never learn.

I'll say it again—

mind your own business.

Mind my own business?

At the Li family just now,

who was minding my business?

You helped me last time,

so I was returning the favor this time.

♪ In exchange for my everything ♪

♪ Will you finally be mine? ♪

♪ Give me love and hate ♪

♪ I can't break free, I can't escape ♪

♪ This, too, can be called a lifetime together ♪

♪ We ♪

♪ Remain bound by fate until the end ♪

♪ Forevermore ♪

Young Master Boze.

Be careful not to catch a cold.

I'm fine.

Is Qingyi back?

Dudu?

Why did you come over in the rain so late at night?

Mother.

Look at you.

You're soaked.

Hurry up and prepare

a set of dry clothes for Young Master Boze.

Also,

make some ginger soup.

I'll go right away.

Come.

You don't need to worry about him.

He's used to being free.

Who knows if he'll come back.

Mother,

do you know

what happened to Qingyi at the Li family?

Li Rongzhang

always thought Qingyi didn't look like him,

so he suspected your biological mother

of infidelity.

He thought Qingyi was a bastard

and beat him frequently.

Later, we found out

that the 2 families had mixed up our babies.

You were still young then,

and I couldn't bear to just send you back.

So you and Qingyi

weren't switched back immediately.

But the way Li Rongzhang treated him

couldn't be changed.

It has always been like this.

But Mother,

later, didn't you also...

He deserved it.

They were torturing each other.

Why should I care?

But Qingyi is your biological son.

Back then,

he clearly heard

the news that Li Rongzhang was going to assassinate your father,

but he failed to explain it clearly.

And that caused your father's death!

After your father died,

he woke up and shouted, "Watch out!" What was the point?

Mother.

The incident 12 years ago

was not caused by my father from the Li family.

Qingyi was too young at that time,

and he didn't see who was behind it clearly.

So there is no evidence for this.

Even if there's no evidence,

he had a motive.

Alright.

It's raining heavily outside,

so don't go back today.

Finish the ginger soup

and go take a rest.

Okay.

[Zarry Grand Hotel]

Boss Hai, you're here.

Please come in.

We've saved a table for you.

These wealthy families

have been shocking me every single day.

Could it be

that Li Boze did it on purpose?

He knows the relationship between Li Rongzhang and Murong Qingyi,

so he intentionally intensified the conflict.

It couldn't be.

With his simple mind,

he couldn't do such a thing.

You've only met him a few times,

but you seem to know him quite well.

Life is like a play.

I've played so many roles and sung about so many hearts.

A young master like Li Boze, who can be seen through at a glance,

is the easiest to read.

But I must remind you.

Both of them are sons of the two families,

but Murong Qingyi's thoughts

are so deep that they can't be seen through.

You chased after him to the Li family

probably out of pity for him again, right?

I just didn't want to drag him into this again.

What if he reveals your identity

to Murong Qingyu?

Don't worry.

I am prepared.

Tao?

Why are you here?

He has been looking for you.

I was afraid of arousing suspicion,

so I just let him come here.

Don't worry, Sister.

We older kids

are usually sent out to beg during the day.

No one is watching us these days,

so no one will find out.

Eat up.

Why are you looking for us?

The orphanage is sending out goods again.

At a time like this,

they still dare to do this?

There's only what you can't imagine,

nothing they wouldn't dare to do.

What kind of goods?

Pretty girls.

Those people dress them in skirts

and lock them in the building of the new orphanage.

It's the premium goods

whose whereabouts we could never track down.

Over the years,

the girls who were sold to rich families

and brothels

could always be tracked down.

But the most beautiful girls

have completely disappeared.

We've been investigating for so long,

and we still don't even know

where their black market is.

Last time, because of Murong Qingyi,

I failed to get information

about the Elite Club from Li Rongzhang.

You suspect this club

is related to the Huo family's business?

This Elite Club

is single-handedly run by the Huo family.

The entry requirements are strict,

and the information is strictly confidential.

With a fixed buyer group

and confidential trading channels,

what do you think

they are trading?

Tao,

here. Take this.

Take this as what you begged for today.

From now on,

we should not contact each other anymore.

Even if you get news,

don't rush to find us.

Protect yourself.

Understand?

Yes.

Thank you, Sister.

Go now.

Goodbye, Sisters.

This child is quite clever.

What should we do now?

It's an eventful time.

These girls from the orphanage won't be locked up for long.

Notify the sisters

to keep a close eye on the orphanage.

I will try to find another way

through the Li family.

With something like this happening,

the police station cannot escape blame.

The police station is going through a leadership transition right now.

The Huo family has a say in this.

Inspector Li has already sent someone to investigate.

Young Master Huo.

This little girl was also there that night.

She stopped me and insisted on singing for me.

Let me ask you,

where did Nanny Sun go

that night?

Nanny Sun ran off with a man.

These brats!

Why so fierce?

Can't you talk nicely?

Is this your doll?

It's so cute.

Tell me,

why did you sing for them that night?

Nanny told us to practice singing.

Then when did Nanny

have you practice in the yard?

Right...

Right before bedtime.

I want to hear it too.

Can you sing it for me?

Wait!

Well...

You!

-Come here. -Come here!

Do you know where Nanny Sun went?

I know.

Nanny Sun ran off with a man.

Who said that?

The janitor,

the plump auntie,

and Sister He from the senior class.

They all said so.

Those gossiping busybodies.

Go!

It's sweet?

Did you see?

Young Master Qingyu and Miss Fang's

wedding outfits have arrived.

I heard they were made by a foreign tailor.

They're magnificent.

Are your injuries better?

I won't die.

Have you made up your mind?

About what?

The two choices I gave you.

Miss Fang,

where do you want to try on the wedding dress?

I'll do it right here.

Go to the study and call Qingyu over.

Yes.

Try it on here?

Aren't you afraid

I'll expose you here?

Just try it.

Very good.

Qingyu.

Mother.

Is this your wedding outfit?

It looks...

like it doesn't quite fit.

This outfit is so important.

Why isn't it finished yet?

Qingyu had an emergency that day.

Qingyi tried on the suit for him.

They have different builds.

How could the tailor get the measurements right?

All he does is make trouble.

Qingyi was just trying to help me.

It's not his fault.

Miss Fang, have you chosen your wedding dress?

The wedding dress I originally chose

was replaced by Qingyi.

Was there something wrong

with the original wedding dress?

The original dress was too plain.

It didn't suit Miss Fang's

bootlicker vibe.

Qingyi.

Qingyi is just envious of us.

After we get married,

I'll help Mother

arrange the wedding for Qingyi and Miss Huo.

Who said I'm going to marry Huo Minxian?

Marriage is a serious matter, not a joke.

It's fine.

If Qingyi really doesn't like Miss Huo,

as his sister-in-law,

I'll help him look for a suitable match

among the noble ladies in Nancheng.

He'll definitely find someone he likes.

Yeah.

Sister-in-law and Qingyu are getting married soon.

It's a pity that Qingyu

still hasn't seen her true colors.

What nonsense are you talking about?

How is it nonsense?

She's not Fang...

Why is this dress torn?

It was perfectly fine when we packed it.

Who else could it be?

Let me see.

Why is it torn like this?

It's fine.

Mother,

we can have another wedding dress made.

You suspect me too?

Apologize to your sister-in-law.

What if I don't?

Are you going to kill me today?

Did you do nothing wrong?

Whether I was wrong or not,

didn't you already send me to prison 3 years ago?

Qingyi,

these are two different matters.

I personally witnessed several times

that you targeted your sister-in-law.

It doesn't matter if you have a problem with me.

If you want to vent your anger,

don't take it out on innocent people.

Innocent people?

She's innocent?

Fine.

Everyone is innocent.

I'm the only one who was born a bad seed!

I'm the shame of the Murong family!

Are you happy now?

No one said that.

But that's what you did.

You didn't believe me 3 years ago,

and you still don't believe me now.

Do you deserve to be my older brother?

Shut up!

Is that how you talk to your brother?

Since you were a child,

Qingyu has always been cleaning up your messes.

If it weren't for him,

would you even have a place in the Murong family?

Is the Murong family anything good?

Do you really think I want to be a Mu—

Get out!

Bastard!

Hurry up and take it back.

Miss Fang,

hurry up and choose another one.

On behalf of Qingyi,

I apologize to you.

He is a bit hot-tempered,

but he means no harm.

Maybe he feels that lately

you've taken away my attention,

so he's throwing a childish tantrum.

Perhaps.

People of the Murong family, get out here!

Your Murong family

is truly shameless.

Marshal Li.

Back then, Peilin supported you,

who came from a humble background.

You were so attentive at that time.

Now that Peilin

is dead

and the real killer is still at large,

you dare to throw your weight around in the Murong family?

Do you really think there's no one left in the Murong family?

Even if there is, they are useless.

Uncle Li,

please make yourself clear.

What exactly is this?

Murong Qingyi was abused by those bastards

from the Huo family for 3 years

and had the tendons in his hands severed.

So you experienced

more than what you told me.

This was...

This was in prison, wasn't it?

What else could it have been?

Cheng Jinzhi,

your own son spent 3 years in prison

being abused by the Huo family,

and they even severed the tendons in his hands.

Now,

you're letting him be the Huo family's son-in-law?

Your Murong family

is truly adaptable.

I was sold for a good price by you.

Who's the one being embarrassed here?

If you are unhappy,

you might send me to prison again

for another several years.

I can't afford that.

Family?

Is this a family?

Your Murong family might be able to swallow this,

[According to the Huo family's order, we followed Mao to the prison.]

but I can't.

[While Murong Qingyi was defenseless, I held down his head]

[and shoulders, and Mao severed...]

I was fighting on the front lines.

How dare the Huo family secretly plot against my man?

Regarding this matter,

he killed someone first.

It was understandable for the Huo family to vent their anger.

Understandable?

Your Murong family is prestigious,

yet you let the Huo family mess with him in prison.

When I sent this kid back,

he was in one piece.

Twelve years.

In just 12 years,

he was labeled a killer, served prison time,

and had his tendons severed.

Who else should I blame but your family?

Qingyu!

Where are you going?

What exactly do you want?

I'm telling you,

you must give me an explanation today.

A member of our Murong family

was hurt by the Huo family.

Why should we give the Li family an explanation?

You should know whose toes you're stepping on.

If word gets out,

people will think the Huo family

dares to walk all over me.

I would lose face.

Let me tell you this, Cheng.

Give me 200 boxes of rifle bullets,

and I'll let this go.

So, Marshal Li,

after all that talk about justice,

you are actually here to blackmail us?

Servants.

See the guest out!

I don't mind if this ends up in the newspapers tomorrow

and everyone in Nancheng finds out

that the Murong family got their youngest son crippled

and forced him to marry their enemy,

all just to get some planes for their eldest son.

If this problem can be solved with 200 boxes of rifle bullets,

you should...

think twice.

[Renxin Orphanage]

Let's go! Stop unloading the goods!

Let's go drink!

-Let’s go. -Let’s go.

This is a girl's hair?

Boss Hai.

Inspector Li, you and I are really destined.

How come

we meet in a slum

like this?

So Boss Hai, you know this is a slum?

Then why are you here?

You are so bossy, Inspector Li.

If you can come, why can't I?

I'm here to investigate a case.

What case?

Boss Hai,

are you interrogating the police?

Then what do you want to ask me?

Nanny Sun from Renxin Orphanage is missing.

Do you know

about this?

I don't know her.

And I don't know about this.

Really?

I heard that whenever Nanny Sun from Renxin Orphanage

returns to Nancheng,

she goes to Dongjiadu to do charity work.

And coincidentally,

you were seen at both the aviation school's opening ceremony

she attended

and Dongjiadu.

Boss Hai,

isn't this a bit too coincidental?

Do you solve cases based on coincidence?

No wonder the case clearance rate goes up so quickly.

I often come here to volunteer

and help some poor children.

So you have such a kind heart.

I was born into poverty.

I owe everything I have today to the support of my fans.

Naturally, I can't forget where I came from.

But Inspector Li,

is everyone

in the police station like you,

privileged young masters who grew up in comfort and luxury,

never having suffered a hard day in their lives?

No wonder in this world,

good people receive no reward,

and bad people face no consequences.

Watch your words, Boss Hai.

I think

since I became a police officer,

I haven't slacked off for a single day.

Fools aren't scary.

What's scary are hardworking fools.

But still, I like fools.

Inspector Li, I advise you

to go back to being the wealthy young master you are.

An upright official who speaks for the people doesn't suit you.

When it comes to the suffering of the people,

I'm afraid

Young Master Qingyi understands better than you.

Have you found him?

Where is Qingyu?

Young Master Qingyu searched the passenger transport,

docks, and stations,

but couldn't find him.

We also checked Young Master Qingyi's residence.

He hasn't been back.

The rain is getting heavier.

Tell Qingyu to come back and wait for news.

The rest of you can keep looking.

Young Master refused

and asked me to report back.

He went to Young Master Qingyi's garden on Hongmei Road.

Marshal Li,

why don't you go back first?

I've already had someone

send the telegram to inventory the supplies.

Qingyi is not a three-year-old child.

He's just temporarily out of touch.

What's there to worry about?

His mother isn't even worried,

so why should others be?

What kind of talk is that?

Human talk.

I'm going to pray.

Serve tea for Marshal Li.

Marshal Li can leave

whenever he wants.

Young Master Qingyi

is quite like you, Marshal Li.

How so?

Unscrupulous

and sharp-tongued.

Now I know

who he learned it from.

What are you trying to say?

You've already got what you wanted.

What are you still waiting for?

I could tell when we last met

that you are actually

the one who knows Qingyi best.

You came today

not only for

those 200 boxes of rifle bullets,

but also to stand up for Qingyi,

right?

You think you're very smart, don't you?

People say you are

rough and unreasonable,

but they don't know you are very meticulous.

My little cleverness

is nothing in front of you.

But whether it is for Qingyi's grievance

or your dignity,

the Huo family

must pay the price.

Otherwise,

wouldn't anyone dare

to challenge you?

What do you want?

The Elite Club—

what kind of organization is it?

Where is it?

And how do I get in?

What?

You want to take down the Huo family?

You think you alone can do that?

For the Murong family

to attack the Huo family for Qingyi right now

would be unrealistic.

Moreover, in this family,

the people who really care if Qingyi lives or dies

are very few.

For you to take action

would be unjustified,

and the cost would be too high.

An outsider like me

has no such concerns.

Rest assured.

Whether I succeed or fail,

it has nothing to do with you.

What are you after?

I'm after justice.

Do you believe it?

Justice?

You overestimated yourself.

I heard when you came to the Murong family,

♪ Sharper pain, deeper mark ♪

it was quite a big scene.

♪ Deeper care, greater torment ♪

Rather than letting your dowry and betrothal gifts

♪ I won't give up on you ♪

♪ Don't let go of me ♪

sit idle,

♪ Let the ropes of fate ♪

you might as well put them in the Huo family's treasury.

♪ Bind you and me ♪

Treasury?
