[Episode 13]

[Nanhuai Army General Staff]

Although the gold mine affair has been explained to the central government,

we still haven't found out Jun Guan's real identity.

- Father, please punish me. - Bing Wen, don't worry about it.

What do you mean?

I've already found this Jun Guan in the army.

Who is it?

Jiang Xue Ting, the translator and secretary of the 9th Corps.

Xue Ting.

What's your plan for the future?

I've found a few like-minded friends.

We want to start a new publication that truly speaks for the people.

And then?

Once you graduate, we'll leave Nanhuai.

We'll get away from all this trouble.

By then, I'll rent a small house with a huge yard.

It must have plenty of sunlight.

That way, Auntie can enjoy the sun in the yard every day.

And you...

You can fill the yard with your favorite plantain lilies.

Ping Jun.

I promise you and Auntie a truly peaceful and comfortable life.

I visited several shops before I settled on this one.

I wonder... if you'll like it.

If it's too plain, I can exchange it at the silver shop.

No.

I like it very much.

Let me put it on for you.

Director Gu, what's going on here?

Jiang Xue Ting, translator and secretary of the 9th Corps General Staff.

You're under arrest for stealing military secrets and defecting to the enemy.

Director Gu, are you sure you're not mistaken?

Secretary Jiang knows very well whether I'm mistaken.

Xue Ting.

Ping Jun.

I'm sorry.

Take him away.

Move!

Relax.

I wasn't going to do anything.

After all, you put a lot of effort into this.

Is your wound better?

It's nothing serious.

Let me see.

It's healing quite fast.

Looks like...

someone has applied medicine to you.

I'm a grown man.

A small wound like this is nothing.

Brother.

Since when did you get so good at acting?

I was almost fooled by your act.

Do you remember?

In the past, Mother made noodles on your birthday every year.

Father and I would go out to buy you this ginger candy in any weather.

- Qiao. - Brother!

- You're back. - Here.

Father and I checked out many alleys before we finally found this. Try it.

It's ginger candy.

Of course I remember that.

But those happy days are gone for good.

No matter how bitter the old days were, they still feel sweet.

But now...

Brother, when can we leave this place?

I'm afraid that as time goes by,

you'll start to believe the role you're playing.

Of course not.

What's real and what's fake,

I can tell the difference.

The one who ruined everything is Yu Zhong Quan.

That's something...

I will never forget.

Bing Wen, I'm afraid I'll soon join your father.

I've failed you both.

You and Wan Qiao must live well.

Bing Wen, remember this.

Don't seek revenge.

We can't afford to cross the Yu Army.

Why is it raining so hard?

How am I supposed to buy wine now?

Damn dog. Quit barking!

Keep it up, and I'll kill you!

Father.

Mother.

Father.

Mother.

Mother, rest assured.

I will avenge you.

Master Chang Xuan, wait.

What's the matter?

There is something only you can help me with.

You want me to release Jiang Xue Ting?

Yes.

Drive.

Master Chang Xuan.

Master Chang Xuan.

Even if Xue Ting did write that report, he's barely been in the Yu Army.

How would he know the high command's secrets?

Someone must have used him.

Are you sure you want my help?

Yes.

If you want a favor, you'd better show some humility.

What do you want?

From now on, cut all ties with Jiang Xue Ting.

Stay by my side.

As long as you agree, I can give you everything you want.

Jiang Xue Ting and I are getting married.

How can a dead man get married?

Yu Chang Xuan.

I can't believe I thought you'd changed.

I thought there was still some goodness in you.

I thought we could at least keep some decency between us.

Yet you're still as incorrigible as ever.

- Despic-- - Despicable.

Shameless.

Vile.

What else?

I'll take it all.

I get what I want by any means necessary.

All I care about is the result.

Yu Chang Xuan, you're insane.

Yes.

I am insane.

From the day I found this hairpin,

I've kept it well hidden.

No one was allowed to see it or touch it.

I keep thinking that

one day I'd return it to you myself...

and put it on you with my own hands.

You madman!

Let go of me!

Let go!

You keep pushing me, over and over.

Don't think I'm a patient man.

Who keeps pushing whom, really?

Don't do to others what you wouldn't want done to you.

Do you understand?

Don't get smart with me.

I don't care what you want.

All I know is that you're always in my head.

Let go! Shameless!

Good. I'll show you how shameless I can be.

You don't really think this hairpin can kill me, do you?

- Don't you dare! - Just watch me.

You're going to such lengths to stay faithful to your man.

When Jiang Xue Ting did those things,

did he tell you?

Did he ever worry you'd be implicated and put in danger?

Anyway, I'm in no hurry.

I'll see how long you can stay this stubborn.

Jiang Xue Ting has been sentenced to death.

When the time comes, be sure to give him a proper burial.

Ye Ping Jun!

What exactly do you want?

What is it that I can't give you?

I want pure love.

A love with equality, respect, and devotion.

Love?

You're too naive.

Even now, you still don't understand.

In this world,

the only thing that can protect you from danger and hardship

is power and status.

That's why I said we're from two different worlds.

Listen carefully, Ye Ping Jun.

Whether you like it or not,

I, Yu Chang Xuan, will have you.

[Xiangxi Hotel]

Jin, use any more force, and you'll pull my arm off.

The old wound barely heals, and now there's another.

The old one kept reopening.

It's practically a hole now.

You almost damaged your bone.

Which girl got the better of you?

So what if she did?

The Yu family's men are made of iron and steel.

Keep the wound dry.

I'll come back tomorrow.

Get some rest.

- Take care, Master Jin. - Take care.

Salute!

You're wounded.

Look at you.

I can tell how brutal the fight was and how hard it's been on you.

But tell me, did you get what you wanted or not?

Cut the crap.

Don't get so worked up.

I'm here to tell you something.

Miss Ye went to the prison to visit that fellow.

But I had her stopped.

- Get out. - Officer.

That traitor will be executed in three days.

Just wait to collect his body. Why bother visiting him?

Mom.

Ping Jun.

Did you see Xue Ting?

No.

How could Xue Ting do such a thing?

Could there be some misunderstanding?

What will his sentence be?

Tell me.

Just tell me.

If the evidence is conclusive,

he will face a firing squad in three days.

Mom.

Mom, don't scare me! Mom!

Mom!

Don't scare me, Mom!

Mom, don't scare me! Mom!

What is wrong with you? Hurry up! Come on!

Auntie Zhao, don't pull me!

This is a matter of life and death. Would it kill you to make a house call?

Go take a look. Poor Ping Jun. She's crying her eyes out.

It's not that I'm unwilling to go. I told you I can't treat her.

Her condition requires a hospital run by foreigners.

There's nothing more I can do.

Poor things, left with no one to rely on. And Xue Ting has been arrested.

Just think of it as good karma. See her again.

It's a matter of life and death. Hurry!

Ping Jun!

The doctor is here!

I said I can't treat her.

- Don't make it difficult for me. - I...

Who are you people?

You can't go in there.

You can't go in!

Mom.

Director Gu, what are you trying to do?

In your mother's current state, she must be sent to the hospital.

If you don't trust me, you can come with us.

Whether we're here to help or harm you, you'll know once we get there.

The doctor said your mother's condition is stable for now.

I've told the hospital to give her the best care.

You must be tired. Eat something first.

Did Yu Chang Xuan send you to guard my house?

He's only looking out for you, Miss Ye.

Miss Ye.

Chang Xuan always gets whatever he wants.

Call me if you need anything.

Wan Zhi.

Wan Zhi.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Xue Ting. Xue Ting, please stay safe.

Xue Ting.

By then, I'll rent a small house with a huge yard.

It must have plenty of sunlight.

That way, Auntie can enjoy the sun in the yard every day.

And you... you can fill the yard with your favorite plantain lilies.

Go, bite her!

[Ward 13]

Open the door.

Get in!

After Jiang Xue Ting went to jail, he asked for some books.

I didn't see any harm, so I gave him some.

You know what?

Only three types of people come here.

Those who cry and beg for mercy,

those who keep talking tough, and those who want to die.

I've never seen anyone like him, reading in a place like this.

I have to say, he stays calm even in the face of doom.

He's no ordinary man.

It's a pity he leaked military secrets and defected to the enemy.

Not even God could save him now.

Miss Ye, your mother's lungs are very fragile.

She needs absolute rest.

She must remain calm.

Otherwise, even the finest doctor alive couldn't help her.

My dear, you're a smart person. Think about it.

In Nanhuai City, is there anything Master Chang Xuan wants that he can't get?

He's the favored son of heaven.

If you keep resisting him, your man will suffer for it.

And now, there's no way for you to escape.

You might as well stay with him.

In a few years, he'll let you go.

You'll still be young by then.

As for money, he'll make sure you're well provided for.

Think about it carefully.

Besides, Jiang Xue Ting is counting on you to save him.

My dear, time is running out.

Ping Jun.

What's wrong?

Mom.

I have good news.

Han Zhi's father found a friend.

I'll be away for a while.

I'm going to beg him to release Xue Ting.

Really?

Is he willing to help?

Don't worry.

Xue Ting will come back safe and sound.

Miss Ye.

Director Gu.

Please take me to see Master Chang Xuan.

[Maple Mansion]

Have you thought it through?

I'm already here.

When will you release Jiang Xue Ting?

Releasing a suspect like him won't be easy.

The evidence is solid.

There are procedures to follow.

But I am a man of my word.

He will come back alive.

Alright.

Then let's begin.
