[The Lament of Autumn]

2
00:01:39,479 --> 00:01:41,759
[Episode 32]

3
00:01:53,450 --> 00:01:54,150
Isn't this Jiang Xueting

4
00:01:54,150 --> 00:01:55,560
who used to work at the Secretariat?

5
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,759
What is he doing here?

6
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,880
Deputy Commander Yu.

7
00:02:08,250 --> 00:02:09,449
Deputy Commander Yu.

8
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:13,280
Inspector Gao,
it's an honor to have you here.

9
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,560
Forgive me for not welcoming you sooner.

10
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,030
My father is on patrol
at the North Harbour now.

11
00:02:16,030 --> 00:02:17,340
He specifically reminded us

12
00:02:17,340 --> 00:02:18,870
to make sure you're well taken care of.

13
00:02:18,870 --> 00:02:20,030
Deputy Commander Yu,

14
00:02:20,030 --> 00:02:21,130
you're too kind.

15
00:02:21,740 --> 00:02:23,060
Your father, Commander Yu,

16
00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:25,000
literally handles everything personally.

17
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,180
With you and your father

18
00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:28,460
safeguarding Nanhuai
at such a critical time,

19
00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:30,790
the central government can rest assured.

20
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,480
Let me introduce you.

21
00:02:32,870 --> 00:02:34,530
This is the newly appointed

22
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,370
Director Jiang Xueting
of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

23
00:02:37,370 --> 00:02:39,410
And this is his fiancée, Miss Tao.

24
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:42,470
Director Jiang is such a young talent

25
00:02:42,870 --> 00:02:43,800
who is now overseeing

26
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,300
the Propaganda Department
of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

27
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:47,690
The newspapers and radio stations

28
00:02:47,690 --> 00:02:49,200
of the central government

29
00:02:49,530 --> 00:02:52,120
are all
under Director Jiang's sole command.

30
00:02:54,910 --> 00:02:55,840
Long time no see,

31
00:02:56,740 --> 00:02:57,940
Deputy Commander Yu.

32
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,760
You two already know each other?

33
00:03:03,580 --> 00:03:04,640
Several years ago,

34
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:05,460
I once served

35
00:03:05,460 --> 00:03:07,590
under Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yu.

36
00:03:07,810 --> 00:03:09,340
I have never dared to forget

37
00:03:09,810 --> 00:03:12,620
what Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yu
taught me.

38
00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:16,530
Moreover,

39
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,210
his wife and I

40
00:03:21,590 --> 00:03:23,650
grew up together as neighbors.

41
00:03:27,020 --> 00:03:28,760
And my fiancée, Tao Ziyi,

42
00:03:29,130 --> 00:03:30,840
is her biological sister.

43
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,460
So,

44
00:03:35,020 --> 00:03:37,130
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yu
and Director Jiang

45
00:03:37,130 --> 00:03:38,390
are brothers-in-law.

46
00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:41,370
I didn't know
you had such a special connection.

47
00:03:42,860 --> 00:03:44,750
Director Jiang,
you disappeared without a trace

48
00:03:44,750 --> 00:03:46,370
after leaving Nanhuai years ago.

49
00:03:46,370 --> 00:03:49,020
Never expected that you'd rise so fast

50
00:03:49,090 --> 00:03:49,579
and join

51
00:03:49,579 --> 00:03:51,090
the Tao and Tang families

52
00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:52,810
through marriage.

53
00:03:54,370 --> 00:03:56,570
Seems like you're indeed very capable.

54
00:03:59,090 --> 00:04:00,290
Living in this world,

55
00:04:01,210 --> 00:04:02,470
one must climb higher

56
00:04:03,620 --> 00:04:04,690
to see further

57
00:04:06,620 --> 00:04:07,750
and better scenery.

58
00:04:13,090 --> 00:04:13,840
Sister.

59
00:04:17,130 --> 00:04:19,450
I heard you haven't been well
since your accident

60
00:04:19,450 --> 00:04:20,850
a couple of years ago.

61
00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:22,840
I wanted to come and visit you,

62
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:24,840
but it's all Xueting's fault—

63
00:04:24,860 --> 00:04:26,010
he's been too busy.

64
00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:27,450
It's fine.

65
00:04:28,130 --> 00:04:30,190
I've heard about you from Changxuan.

66
00:04:41,930 --> 00:04:42,680
Inspector Gao,

67
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,159
currently,
the Southern Revolutionary Army's

68
00:04:44,159 --> 00:04:45,870
northern expedition is advancing rapidly.

69
00:04:45,870 --> 00:04:48,040
They have occupied Changsha and Wuhan,

70
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,159
with their forces targeting
key northern cities.

71
00:04:50,159 --> 00:04:50,740
How does

72
00:04:50,830 --> 00:04:52,950
the central government see this?

73
00:04:53,370 --> 00:04:54,250
The so-called

74
00:04:55,060 --> 00:04:57,520
northern expedition is an armed rebellion.

75
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,980
The rebels have set up
another government in Guangzhou.

76
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,370
Such an act is splitting the country.

77
00:05:04,180 --> 00:05:05,580
Our central government,

78
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:07,860
as the only legitimate governing authority

79
00:05:07,860 --> 00:05:09,560
of the Republic of China,

80
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,390
will severely punish

81
00:05:12,930 --> 00:05:15,220
any act of splitting the country.

82
00:05:15,870 --> 00:05:19,360
-Great!
-Well said!

83
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,920
We've read some articles

84
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,060
in the Current Affairs News

85
00:05:23,060 --> 00:05:24,270
of your government,

86
00:05:24,540 --> 00:05:25,500
implying that

87
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:27,620
certain long-established military
and political families

88
00:05:27,620 --> 00:05:29,740
are not on the same page
with the central government

89
00:05:29,740 --> 00:05:31,670
concerning the political issues.

90
00:05:39,659 --> 00:05:40,659
We soldiers are

91
00:05:41,540 --> 00:05:44,240
obliged to guard the borders
and the people.

92
00:05:44,980 --> 00:05:46,380
The stability of Nanhuai

93
00:05:47,070 --> 00:05:48,870
and the livelihood of the people

94
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,250
are the heaviest responsibilities

95
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:51,710
shouldered by the Yu Army.

96
00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:53,620
In no circumstances

97
00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:55,570
should soldiers forget this

98
00:05:55,570 --> 00:05:57,170
as their highest principle.

99
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,570
I believe

100
00:05:58,980 --> 00:05:59,860
the central government

101
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:01,570
certainly agrees with us

102
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:03,690
on this.

103
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,560
-Great!
-Well said!

104
00:06:07,420 --> 00:06:10,080
Deputy Commander Yu,
please elaborate on this.

105
00:06:16,390 --> 00:06:17,220
Please clarify it a bit more,

106
00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:17,980
Deputy Commander Yu.

107
00:06:17,980 --> 00:06:18,430
Could you give me

108
00:06:18,430 --> 00:06:19,630
a direct answer?

109
00:06:20,980 --> 00:06:21,560
Deputy Commander Yu,

110
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,370
I have a few more questions for you.

111
00:06:23,370 --> 00:06:25,100
Please give us a direct answer.

112
00:06:25,180 --> 00:06:26,710
-Yes.
-Please tell us more.

113
00:06:27,330 --> 00:06:28,330
Where is Pingjun?

114
00:06:28,630 --> 00:06:30,890
She seems to have gone to the east garden.

115
00:06:33,070 --> 00:06:35,730
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yu,
please hold on.

116
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,420
Deputy Commander,

117
00:06:40,750 --> 00:06:41,620
I just saw

118
00:06:41,620 --> 00:06:43,020
the guards of the Yu Army,

119
00:06:43,390 --> 00:06:45,159
full of energy

120
00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:46,600
and well-disciplined,

121
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,340
with overwhelming momentum.

122
00:06:48,430 --> 00:06:49,950
Inspector Gao, we're flattered.

123
00:06:49,950 --> 00:06:51,600
They are just local soldiers from Nanhuai

124
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,400
who train a bit more diligently.

125
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,000
With you here, Nanhuai is impregnable.

126
00:06:57,130 --> 00:06:59,980
It's just that this strong army

127
00:07:00,310 --> 00:07:01,970
only submits to the Yu family,

128
00:07:02,310 --> 00:07:04,040
not to the central government.

129
00:07:04,430 --> 00:07:06,680
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

130
00:07:10,830 --> 00:07:12,760
You must be joking, Inspector Gao.

131
00:07:12,860 --> 00:07:13,600
Every single soldier

132
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,630
of our Yu Army

133
00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:16,410
has been taught to be loyal

134
00:07:16,570 --> 00:07:18,920
to the country
since the day they enlisted.

135
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,180
Neither my father nor I

136
00:07:21,930 --> 00:07:22,990
have ever changed.

137
00:07:25,980 --> 00:07:27,680
Just kidding.

138
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:28,660
Good.

139
00:07:28,980 --> 00:07:30,690
What you said

140
00:07:30,890 --> 00:07:32,350
has made me feel relieved.

141
00:07:32,980 --> 00:07:34,710
Shall we go somewhere to drink?

142
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,480
Inspector Gao,
you've had a long, tiring journey.

143
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,560
Why don't you just
go get some rest tonight?

144
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,270
I still have some

145
00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:40,480
embassy friends over there.

146
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,180
Boren,

147
00:07:41,740 --> 00:07:43,100
show Inspector Gao to his seat

148
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:44,100
and serve the best whiskey.

149
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:44,630
I got it.

150
00:07:44,930 --> 00:07:46,790
Inspector Gao, this way, please.

151
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:47,920
Okay.

152
00:07:48,659 --> 00:07:49,520
This way.

153
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:52,590
Changxuan,

154
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,040
after Jiang Xueting

155
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,370
disappeared back then,

156
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:56,950
there was no news of him.

157
00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:57,659
In just half a year,

158
00:07:57,659 --> 00:07:59,300
he became Tao Ziyi's fiancé.

159
00:07:59,659 --> 00:08:01,300
He's backed not only by Tang Jishan...

160
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:02,500
But also by Mu Linsen.

161
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:03,860
Yes.

162
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,480
Mu Linsen was the one

163
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,130
who recommended him

164
00:08:06,130 --> 00:08:09,130
for the Director
of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

165
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,240
Ruitong, I need to ask you for a favor.

166
00:08:15,070 --> 00:08:15,750
Pingjun!

167
00:08:20,140 --> 00:08:21,400
We finally meet again.

168
00:08:22,930 --> 00:08:23,860
Director Jiang?

169
00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:27,180
How can I help you?

170
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:29,920
Pingjun,

171
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,370
look at me.

172
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,620
Look at me closely.

173
00:08:33,150 --> 00:08:33,370
You really

174
00:08:33,370 --> 00:08:34,830
can't remember anything?

175
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:35,980
What are you doing?

176
00:08:35,980 --> 00:08:36,820
Let go!

177
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,240
I-I'm sorry. Don't be afraid of me.

178
00:08:48,780 --> 00:08:49,360
It's just been

179
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:50,890
so long since I last saw you.

180
00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:53,200
Pingjun, do you

181
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,750
really can't remember anything?

182
00:08:54,750 --> 00:08:56,360
We grew up together.

183
00:08:56,790 --> 00:08:58,000
Then I went to Japan.

184
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,300
We wrote to each other every week.

185
00:09:03,130 --> 00:09:04,390
For 4 whole years,

186
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:06,500
we wrote 143 letters.

187
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:09,430
I've kept every single one of them.

188
00:09:09,980 --> 00:09:11,120
We agreed

189
00:09:11,860 --> 00:09:14,440
to get married right after graduation.

190
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:21,430
What did Xueting say in the letter?

191
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,680
He said he was doing well.

192
00:09:24,690 --> 00:09:26,180
He'll be back in the autumn.

193
00:09:25,130 --> 00:09:25,410
[Please tell Auntie
not to worry too much.]

194
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:25,680
[Jun]

195
00:09:26,110 --> 00:09:26,590
[Xueting]

196
00:09:38,220 --> 00:09:39,150
Director Jiang.

197
00:09:40,410 --> 00:09:40,940
No matter what

198
00:09:40,940 --> 00:09:42,740
happened between us in the past,

199
00:09:43,630 --> 00:09:44,680
I am

200
00:09:45,390 --> 00:09:47,200
Changxuan's wife now.

201
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:50,270
Everything is settled.

202
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:52,700
We should keep our distance.

203
00:09:53,460 --> 00:09:55,080
What do you mean by "settled"?

204
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,080
Do you think you and Yu Changxuan

205
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:56,840
truly fell in love

206
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:57,790
naturally?

207
00:09:58,100 --> 00:09:58,890
To get you,

208
00:09:58,910 --> 00:10:00,000
he sent me to prison!

209
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,240
He used my life to threaten you

210
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,670
and held you captive in Fengtai by force!

211
00:10:02,670 --> 00:10:04,200
He only let me go because you

212
00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:06,290
threatened to kill yourself!

213
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,210
This scar of yours is

214
00:10:12,530 --> 00:10:13,650
from when you slit

215
00:10:13,650 --> 00:10:14,340
your wrist.

216
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,250
No way.

217
00:10:35,290 --> 00:10:36,890
He is not that kind of person.

218
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:46,200
He is not that kind of person?

219
00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:49,550
He is

220
00:10:49,550 --> 00:10:51,740
an out-and-out liar.

221
00:10:52,530 --> 00:10:55,260
He took advantage of your amnesia
to deceive you,

222
00:10:55,940 --> 00:10:56,410
and stole

223
00:10:56,410 --> 00:10:58,600
everything that didn't belong to him.

224
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:04,770
Director Jiang.

225
00:11:06,860 --> 00:11:08,260
I may have lost my memory,

226
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,370
but I haven't lost

227
00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:11,460
my judgment.

228
00:11:13,770 --> 00:11:14,320
I have

229
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,920
my own feelings and judgment

230
00:11:17,740 --> 00:11:18,480
about what kind of man

231
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,480
my husband is.

232
00:11:25,050 --> 00:11:25,700
Really?

233
00:11:30,890 --> 00:11:32,130
Did he tell you

234
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,400
how your Mom passed away?

235
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,100
What do you mean?

236
00:11:44,860 --> 00:11:46,590
Back then, when Aunt, you, and I

237
00:11:46,670 --> 00:11:48,320
decided to leave Nanhuai,

238
00:11:49,550 --> 00:11:51,880
Yu Changxuan went after us relentlessly.

239
00:11:51,980 --> 00:11:53,170
A fire somehow

240
00:11:53,620 --> 00:11:55,370
broke out at our resting place.

241
00:11:55,740 --> 00:11:57,400
You and I made a narrow escape.

242
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,200
But Aunt...

243
00:12:00,250 --> 00:12:01,250
She

244
00:12:05,150 --> 00:12:06,250
died

245
00:12:06,250 --> 00:12:07,120
in that fire.

246
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:15,960
No way.

247
00:12:18,290 --> 00:12:20,090
This is absolutely impossible.

248
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,500
Why would he do that?

249
00:12:21,620 --> 00:12:23,250
Because this fire

250
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:24,910
exposed

251
00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:26,370
the truth about your past.

252
00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:28,670
You didn't want to marry him at all,

253
00:12:28,670 --> 00:12:30,670
let alone have any feelings for him.

254
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,480
He covered up the truth

255
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,200
just to make it look like

256
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,940
you two were in love.

257
00:12:36,340 --> 00:12:37,270
Director Jiang.

258
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,560
Turns out you are here, Director Jiang.

259
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,420
I've been looking for you.

260
00:13:00,130 --> 00:13:01,330
Deputy Commander Yu.

261
00:13:03,170 --> 00:13:04,440
You came so quickly.

262
00:13:05,740 --> 00:13:06,580
Are you that afraid

263
00:13:06,580 --> 00:13:07,980
of me exposing your lies?

264
00:13:08,010 --> 00:13:08,940
Director Jiang,

265
00:13:10,860 --> 00:13:12,170
watch your place.

266
00:13:13,750 --> 00:13:15,550
Keep your distance from my wife.

267
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,080
Your wife?

268
00:13:18,510 --> 00:13:20,440
Don't you feel guilty saying that?

269
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,360
Which part of what I

270
00:13:24,170 --> 00:13:25,440
just said is false?

271
00:13:34,290 --> 00:13:36,060
So you're all here,

272
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,820
having such a lively chat.

273
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,300
Why didn't you let me join?

274
00:13:46,270 --> 00:13:48,600
Changxuan, do you remember?

275
00:13:49,150 --> 00:13:49,500
When you

276
00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:51,890
broke up with me back then,

277
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,770
you said you weren't good enough for me.

278
00:13:53,770 --> 00:13:54,940
You also said that in the future,

279
00:13:54,940 --> 00:13:56,000
I'd definitely find a man

280
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,390
who truly loves me

281
00:13:57,510 --> 00:13:58,940
and is my match.

282
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,440
I really did find one.

283
00:14:04,670 --> 00:14:05,500
Changxuan,

284
00:14:05,770 --> 00:14:06,340
I have to thank you

285
00:14:06,340 --> 00:14:08,270
for letting me go back then.

286
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,360
Otherwise, Xueting and I...

287
00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:13,640
wouldn't be where we are today.

288
00:15:05,630 --> 00:15:07,090
If you have any questions,

289
00:15:08,530 --> 00:15:09,340
just ask.

290
00:15:11,820 --> 00:15:12,620
If I ask,

291
00:15:15,650 --> 00:15:17,240
will you tell me the truth?

292
00:15:19,980 --> 00:15:20,750
Yes.

293
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,910
You and Tao Ziyi were once engaged.

294
00:15:35,510 --> 00:15:36,890
And Jiang Xueting...

295
00:15:40,010 --> 00:15:41,600
He was once my fiancé.

296
00:15:45,340 --> 00:15:46,130
Yes.

297
00:15:55,130 --> 00:15:56,600
You sent him to jail

298
00:15:58,820 --> 00:16:00,170
and used his life

299
00:16:01,650 --> 00:16:04,110
to threaten me
into being together with you.

300
00:16:08,050 --> 00:16:08,870
Yes.

301
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:23,550
What about my mom?

302
00:16:28,130 --> 00:16:29,750
She didn't have a relapse.

303
00:16:35,530 --> 00:16:36,240
She died

304
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,170
in that fire at the pier.

305
00:16:51,130 --> 00:16:51,910
Yes.

306
00:16:56,410 --> 00:16:57,510
I lied to you.

307
00:17:03,740 --> 00:17:04,510
Pingjun.

308
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:05,780
Don't touch me.

309
00:17:13,550 --> 00:17:14,420
Yu Changxuan,

310
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,380
you had so many chances

311
00:17:17,380 --> 00:17:18,569
to tell me the truth.

312
00:17:18,589 --> 00:17:19,849
Why didn't you tell me?

313
00:17:21,660 --> 00:17:22,220
You just let me

314
00:17:22,220 --> 00:17:23,329
live in the web

315
00:17:23,329 --> 00:17:25,240
you spun like a fool.

316
00:17:26,660 --> 00:17:27,400
You made me waver

317
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,180
and feel ashamed because of

318
00:17:31,420 --> 00:17:32,550
the little kindness

319
00:17:34,510 --> 00:17:35,380
you showed me.

320
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:38,640
About that fire...

321
00:17:40,750 --> 00:17:41,880
I really

322
00:17:43,010 --> 00:17:43,880
never thought

323
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,610
such an accident would happen.

324
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,620
It was all my selfishness.

325
00:17:49,740 --> 00:17:51,200
I didn't want to lose you.

326
00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:54,220
So I resorted

327
00:17:54,220 --> 00:17:55,640
to such despicable means

328
00:17:59,330 --> 00:18:01,530
just to hold on to these 2 years with you.

329
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,550
Yu Changxuan.

330
00:18:10,510 --> 00:18:12,240
So the two of us...

331
00:18:15,790 --> 00:18:17,510
have never been in love,

332
00:18:19,070 --> 00:18:20,050
right?

333
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,490
Between the two of us...

334
00:18:41,010 --> 00:18:43,350
Everything is fake.

335
00:18:46,570 --> 00:18:47,350
Right?

336
00:19:13,550 --> 00:19:14,410
Leave me alone.

337
00:19:18,980 --> 00:19:20,580
I don't want to see you again.

338
00:19:23,940 --> 00:19:24,750
I'm sorry.

339
00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:27,740
I know

340
00:19:27,740 --> 00:19:29,470
I have no right to make you stay.

341
00:19:31,810 --> 00:19:32,700
So whatever

342
00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:34,000
you decide in the end,

343
00:19:35,940 --> 00:19:38,440
whether you leave or stay,

344
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,460
I promise I won't stop you.

345
00:21:18,380 --> 00:21:23,880
[Xiangxi Hotel]

346
00:21:41,070 --> 00:21:41,700
Jin.

347
00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:46,860
Perfect timing.

348
00:21:48,510 --> 00:21:49,970
Fetch me two more bottles.

349
00:21:51,850 --> 00:21:52,460
Mr. Yu,

350
00:21:53,420 --> 00:21:54,820
you can't drink any more.

351
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,250
Don't try to persuade me today.

352
00:22:24,850 --> 00:22:25,680
Okay?

353
00:22:36,810 --> 00:22:37,610
I lost.

354
00:22:40,070 --> 00:22:41,330
How can love

355
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:45,790
be judged by winning or losing?

356
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,140
I left it

357
00:23:03,140 --> 00:23:04,380
fully up to Pingjun.

358
00:23:08,310 --> 00:23:10,050
Whatever decision she makes,

359
00:23:13,050 --> 00:23:14,450
I can't go back on my word.

360
00:23:28,740 --> 00:23:31,200
Did you hear about
what happened at Xiaoxi Building?

361
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,110
Last night,

362
00:23:32,110 --> 00:23:33,030
when Fifth Young Master Yu

363
00:23:33,030 --> 00:23:34,110
and his wife came back,

364
00:23:34,110 --> 00:23:35,850
they looked terribly upset.

365
00:23:35,870 --> 00:23:36,770
Yes.

366
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,750
Mei from the Xiaoxi Building said

367
00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:40,610
she heard them arguing fiercely.

368
00:23:40,770 --> 00:23:42,180
Then Fifth Young Master Yu left

369
00:23:42,180 --> 00:23:43,910
and didn't come back all night.

370
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,610
Yesterday, Second Young Lady Tao came back

371
00:23:46,610 --> 00:23:47,460
with her fiancé

372
00:23:47,460 --> 00:23:48,940
surnamed Jiang.

373
00:23:49,350 --> 00:23:50,680
Her fiancé

374
00:23:50,810 --> 00:23:54,050
-was Young Madam's...
-The Yu family recruited you to work,

375
00:23:54,050 --> 00:23:55,500
not to gossip.

376
00:23:55,940 --> 00:23:56,720
Fourth Lady.

377
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,700
Then I'll cut to the chase.

378
00:24:07,310 --> 00:24:08,550
Starting today,

379
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,550
this arsenal

380
00:24:10,980 --> 00:24:12,240
will be under my management,

381
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,050
as appointed by the central government.

382
00:24:14,050 --> 00:24:14,980
You two

383
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,000

404
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:59,000

with Deputy Commander Yu Changxuan

405

personally.

406
00:25:00,850 --> 00:25:02,710
We're contracted to work for him.

407
00:25:02,740 --> 00:25:04,400
If the employer changes,

408
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,750
under the terms of our agreement,

409
00:25:06,750 --> 00:25:09,250
we have the right to immediately
terminate our services,

410
00:25:09,250 --> 00:25:10,740
return to Germany,

411
00:25:10,850 --> 00:25:13,570
and demand full compensation.

412
00:25:15,610 --> 00:25:16,510
Yu Changxuan!

413
00:25:17,030 --> 00:25:18,680
Stop playing this trick with me.

414
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,660
You turned all the technicians

415
00:25:19,660 --> 00:25:21,200
into soldiers of the Yu Army

416
00:25:21,250 --> 00:25:23,310
and signed this kind of contract
with foreigners.

417
00:25:23,310 --> 00:25:24,220
You are obviously

418
00:25:24,220 --> 00:25:26,750
building up your army
with ulterior motives!

419
00:25:28,010 --> 00:25:29,940
This is a very serious accusation.

420
00:25:30,050 --> 00:25:30,770

421
00:25:30,770 --> 00:25:32,010

424

Please calm down.

425
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,480
Seems like the details of the handover

426
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,660
are a bit more complicated than I thought.

427
00:25:50,660 --> 00:25:52,350
But the contract can be renegotiated,

428
00:25:52,350 --> 00:25:56,240
and the organizational structure
can go through a special approval process.

429
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,330
There will always be

430
00:25:57,330 --> 00:25:58,830
a way to solve the problems.

431
00:25:58,830 --> 00:26:01,230
Am I right, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yu?

432
00:26:03,310 --> 00:26:04,250
Yes, of course.

433
00:26:05,010 --> 00:26:05,740

00:26:10,090 --> 00:26:11,200
you sort out

00:31:27,590 --> 00:31:29,680

I couldn't bear to abandon you.

468
00:31:57,270 --> 00:31:58,330

00:31:58,330 --> 00:32:00,240
you might never wake up.

that even if you never woke up,

he would take care of you
for the rest of his life.

Look,

475
00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:11,240
he set up his bed right next to yours

477
00:32:14,510 --> 00:32:15,750

of the painful things you'd been through.

487

Changxuan was afraid

488

He was indeed selfish to do that.

Back then,

it was you who stepped forward,

00:38:17,690 --> 00:38:19,380
[Arrest Warrant]

574
00:38:18,550 --> 00:38:21,410
arrest warrant
issued by the Military Commission.

575
00:38:28,650 --> 00:38:29,850
Deputy Commander Yu,

576
00:38:30,550 --> 00:38:32,480
please cooperate and come with us.

577
00:38:33,070 --> 00:38:34,570
Try it if you dare.

578
00:38:50,460 --> 00:38:51,260
[Nanhuai Army Headquarters]

579
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:52,780
What are you doing?

580
00:38:56,670 --> 00:38:58,730
I am ordered to arrest only you today.

581
00:38:59,510 --> 00:39:00,920
If you submit to arrest,

582
00:39:01,150 --> 00:39:03,760
you will bear the consequences alone.

583
00:39:07,150 --> 00:39:08,950
But if you dare to resist arrest,

584
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,370
it will be an open armed rebellion.

585
00:39:12,260 --> 00:39:13,320
When that happens,

586
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,070
the entire Yu Army

587
00:39:15,650 --> 00:39:17,230
will be treated as rebels.

588
00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:19,550
Think it through.

589
00:39:42,250 --> 00:39:43,030
Ruitong,

590
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,900
inform the Commander-in-Chief
of this matter.

591
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:49,210
Keep everything
at the headquarters running as usual

592
00:39:49,210 --> 00:39:50,390
for steady morale.

593
00:39:51,340 --> 00:39:52,070
Understood.

594
00:39:58,730 --> 00:39:59,660
I'll go with you.

595
00:40:23,610 --> 00:40:24,940
What are you looking at?

596
00:40:25,590 --> 00:40:26,650
I really want to...

597
00:40:30,500 --> 00:40:35,000
[Nanhuai Military General
Staff Department]

598
00:41:11,940 --> 00:41:12,750
Open the door.

599
00:41:20,890 --> 00:41:21,960
Changxuan.

600
00:41:23,590 --> 00:41:24,230
Father.

601
00:41:29,190 --> 00:41:30,190
How are you doing?

602
00:41:32,030 --> 00:41:33,510
Did they maltreat you?

603
00:41:34,190 --> 00:41:35,920
I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

604
00:41:38,340 --> 00:41:41,900
Jiang Xueting became the Director
of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

605
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:43,960
And he made you his first target.

606
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,020
They want to turn the Yu family's arsenal

607
00:41:47,210 --> 00:41:47,860
into

608
00:41:47,860 --> 00:41:50,070
his political leverage
within the central government.

609
00:41:50,070 --> 00:41:51,230
That's one reason.

610
00:41:52,130 --> 00:41:53,150
Secondly...

611
00:41:55,230 --> 00:41:55,840
This might

612
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,110
have something to do with Ye Pingjun.

613
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,880
I had already let bygones be bygones

614
00:42:01,190 --> 00:42:03,050
over what happened with Tao Xili.

615
00:42:03,190 --> 00:42:05,480
But Jiang Xueting has come after you.

616
00:42:05,900 --> 00:42:07,340
Is Ye Pingjun the reason

617
00:42:09,150 --> 00:42:10,820
behind this grudge?

618
00:42:10,860 --> 00:42:11,480
Father.

619
00:42:15,070 --> 00:42:16,230
I was the one

620
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,160
who insisted on keeping Pingjun
by my side.

621
00:42:19,300 --> 00:42:20,670
I couldn't let her go.

622
00:42:21,260 --> 00:42:22,960
I'm the one Jiang Xueting hates

623
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,170
and seeks revenge on.

624
00:42:25,070 --> 00:42:26,500
Pingjun has already

625
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,380
suffered enough unjustly.

626
00:42:29,230 --> 00:42:30,760
You can't blame this

627
00:42:31,110 --> 00:42:32,320
on her anymore.

628
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,560
I hid so many things from her,

629
00:42:43,650 --> 00:42:45,450
especially her mother's death,

630
00:42:46,690 --> 00:42:48,370
which caused her so much pain.

631
00:42:49,460 --> 00:42:49,950
I only have

632
00:42:49,950 --> 00:42:51,480
endless guilt towards her.

633
00:42:52,530 --> 00:42:54,000
I should bear

634
00:42:56,130 --> 00:42:57,920
all the consequences myself.

635
00:42:58,880 --> 00:42:59,670
Boy...

636
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,070
But don't worry.

637
00:43:04,850 --> 00:43:06,890
If they really go for the kill,

638
00:43:07,890 --> 00:43:10,220
even if I have to risk
the entire Yu family,

639
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,000
even if it means starting a mutiny,

640
00:43:14,630 --> 00:43:16,800
I will definitely save you
and get you out of here.

641
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:17,600
Please don't,

642
00:43:18,010 --> 00:43:18,480
Father.

643
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:23,820
Using force right now will

644
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,080
play right into their hands.

645
00:43:26,500 --> 00:43:27,010
They want

646
00:43:27,010 --> 00:43:29,000
not only the Yu Army's arsenal

647
00:43:30,110 --> 00:43:32,370
but also the Yu family's military power.

648
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,300
Keep the situation under control

649
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,030
and leave the rest to me, okay?

650
00:43:40,110 --> 00:43:40,800
Trust me.

651
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:47,730
I'm off.
