Episode 22

Excuse me, which room is Xie Liangchen in?

There.

Thank you.

It's nothing.

Come in!

Ms. Yu.

How did you get such a wound?

Must be a time of bad luck.

Ms Yu, you're so busy, but you still came to see me.

Sorry for the trouble.

What's to be sorry for?

Luckily, you made it back,

more scared than hurt.

In the future you have to be careful.

I know.

I've granted a leave to Xiaojun.

These two days let her take care of you.

Thank you, Ms Yu.

Why are you so formal with me?

Lie down.

You need to rest well.

No need.

Be good.

Fine.

Thank you, Ms Yu.

Isn't that much better?

All right,

seeing you're safe, I'm at ease.

I'll go.

Ms Yu, see you later.

See you.

This time the patient is recovering well,

but he needs to increase nourishment.

You must not let him exert himself.

I understand, Doctor.

We still need to keep him under observation for a while longer.

All right.

Junshan!

You can still smile?

I managed to come back alive.

I shouldn't smile?

Does it hurt?

Not too bad.

Stubborn!

So, what happened?

Weren't you delivering medicines?

Why were you chased by killers?

In truth, I don't know, either.

I guess what they were after was not us at all,

it was only something

that they had put on Xie Liangchen.

What they were chasing

was probably that thing.

Then what about that thing?

Where is it now?

I'm worried that people will come again to harm you.

Liangchen has it.

When Instructor Lü gets here we'll give it up.

That's best.

"An ordinary man has no crime,

holding a jem puts him at fault". (quote from "Commentary of Zuo", fourth century BC)

Now,

keeping your life takes precedence.

Staying alive takes precedence.

Are you hungry?

You should have lunch.

I'll go buy you some food.

Yes, I am a little hungry.

Then wait for me.

I'll be right back.

All right.

The door wasn't closed

so I didn't knock.

Do you need help?

All right.

Thank you.

Here.

Thank you.

How's your wound?

I got shot in the thigh.

It'll be fine in a few days.

You got shot?

Will it leave a scar?

It probably will.

What a pity!

I'm a big man.

Let it scar.

I'm not one of you girls.

Mr Xie, you look so nice,

you're more or less like a girl.

If you really got a scar

it would be too much of a pity!

Luckily, it's on your leg.

You came to see Junshan?

How's his wound?

The same as you,

he puts it lightly and brushes it off.

But he doesn't know how much others will worry.

You men...

you're just like that.

Will you have more water?

No more.

Thank you.

Are you all right?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Leave it, leave it. I'll call the nurse.

Nurse!

Nurse!

Hello, may I help you?

Please, bring me another quilt.

All right.

Were you scalded?

I'm fine.

Is your leg fine?

It's fine.

Where's the towel? Dry your hands.

Under the bed. I can get it myself.

Please.

Thank you.

It's nothing. You're welcome.

Thank you. Let me do it.

All right.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

I'm so clumsy.

It's nothing.

There, it's all changed, isn't it?

Then I'll go now.

I still need to go buy lunch for Junshan.

Then go ahead.

Do you need me to take you some of it?

No need,

Xiaojun already went home to get lunch for me.

Good, then.

Take good care of your wound.

I'll go now.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

I just saw Jin Xianrong outside.

What was she doing here?

She was a little concerned.

A weasel paying a visit to a hen... (idiom: means it has ulterior motives; would aim for the grains)

What goodies did you make?

Smells so good!

Great!

This is it.

Inform Mr. James,

this afternoon at 2,

at Jinhua Hotel.

Yes.

Finished.

Are you full?

I'm stuffed.

Here, wipe your mouth.

I'll go wash the bowls.

Easy.

Shen Junshan?

What brings you here?

I came to check on you.

Is your wound better?

Much better.

Oh, right,

did you... inform your family?

No.

My parents aren't here.

Coming and going is such a hassle.

Anyway, I'm all right.

Why make them worry?

Then who's taking care of you these few days?

My friend, Tan Xiaojun.

You've met her.

She...

is your...

girlfriend?

She's just a good friend of mine.

Don't you have a younger sister in school in Shunyuan?

Why didn't she come?

She...

She doesn't know, yet.

I didn't tell her.

She's a scaredy cat.

Fine.

Then I'm going back.

You take some rest.

All right.

Thank you.

Gu Yanzhen?

How come you're back?

I came at the wrong time, did I?

I'm going back.

Have some rest.

Yes.

Right,

rest well,

don't talk too much.

Step aside.

You two big men, why are you standing at the door?

I'll go out a moment.

Where are you going?

My stomach hurts!

I'm going to the toilet!

Come on in.

You just came back?

Weren't you in Nanjing, getting married?

I came back escaping the marriage.

You escaped the marriage, won't you have problems?

I saw the papers said

it seems the girl's family is powerful.

Are you worried about me?

If you don't want to talk, forget it.

It's fine.

Good.

Your wound...

are you all right?

It's nothing.

I'm starving.

Do you have anything to eat?

You came to see a patient all empty-handed

and even ask me for food?

Seriously?

I was on the train for so long,

as soon as I got back I heard you were in the hospital

and I rushed straight here without a break.

I had no time to eat.

Don't go anywhere now,

I'll go check.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

Liangchen,

don't worry.

They shouldn't be after us.

I'm here.

Don't worry.

Here.

Young Master Gu, it's a mess outside.

Where are you going?

Master Gu?

What happened outside?

It's workers of the Dadong Western Company making trouble.

The Military Police arrested a lot of people.

It's nothing, don't worry.

Then... I'll go back to my room now.

Do you have a knife in your bag?

Give it to me, I'll peel an apple for you.

Did you see Gu Yanzhen's face earlier?

He was so livid,

he looked like a demon.

I guess he must have fallen for you.

Hey!

I'm talking to you.

Can't find it?

No.

The yellow bag.

The yellow bag?

The one I told you about.

Those Japanese were after us because of that.

Isn't it inside?

Where did it go?

Is it on the floor?

No.

Under the bed?

No.

Search again.

This room is just this small,

you can see it all in one look.

Maybe you didn't put it in your bag?

Or could it be with Shen Junshan?

Impossible.

I just saw it a moment ago.

Thank you.

Go have some rest.

After a rushed train ride you're tired, too.

I will.

Are you tired of living?

You want to die?

Are you blind?

Are you tired of living, then?

- You want to die? - You picking a fight?

Can you afford it?

You want to die, is that it?

Speak!

You're tired of living?

We're done for.

It's really lost.

Can't be!

Based on what you said, you never left this room.

That thing couldn't have sprouted legs and run.

Think again.

Beside me, who else was here?

Ms. Yu,

Gu Yanzhen,

Shen Junshan,

and also Miss Xianrong.

Ms. Yu...

It can't be Ms. Yu.

Gu Yanzhen and Shen Junshan can't be, either.

Then there's only Miss Xianrong.

What on earth is in that bag?

In short, it's very important.

The rest of the items

are in Warehouse 18.

Send your own men to collect it.

It's always a pleasure to do business with you, Chief Huo.

On the contrary, I'm considering

whether I should continue collaborating with you or not.

Chief Huo, what prompts such words?

Your Highness's plan aims too high.

I'm afraid I may inadvertently

abet ill-doing.

Chief Huo, you think

I'm an ill-doer?

I'm afraid you may be the leader of the restoration.

If you don't have

a sincere intention to cooperate,

now

stop wasting my time.

Mr. James,

What is the meaning of this?

This is fake.

Mr. James...

Miss,

were we set up?

Was it...

those cadets from the Military Academy?

It was probably the gang on the train.

Then, what should we do now?

Just give up like this?

Of course not.

No matter who it was,

they are all just handymen.

That batch of items by now

must already be in Prince Rong's hands.

Miss, you mean...

The third day of next month

will be Her Ladyship's birthday.

Prepare a great gift for me.

I want to go pay my respects in person.

You lose.

Drink.

Drink, then.

I'm not scared.

Drink.

I quit.

What?

As soon as you lose you quit?

No fun.

Are you jealous?

Jealous of whom?

Stop pretending.

Xie Liangchen and Shen Junshan

went missing together for so long

and they also came back together.

You just came out from the hospital, right?

It's all right, Gu Yanzhen.

Just think we're both fools.

Here, we're fellows in misfortune,

A toast.

Who are you saying is a fool?

Me.

I'm a fool.

Why do I feel you meant to say me?

No.

I was talking about myself.

Actually, things aren't as you think.

Then how are they?

Never mind.

What are you doing?

You say half of it and stop there?

You have too much of a big mouth.

What are you saying?

Who has a big mouth?

Gu Yanzhen?

Sit back.

Miss. Qu!

Stop right there!

Stop now!

You... stop right there!

Blood!

Murder!

What did you do?

I...

I... didn't do my makeup...

I c... can't be in photos.

Sir,

are you all right, sir?

Doctor!

Doctor, how is he?

The patient is still unconscious.

The wound was sealed with four stitches.

At the moment it appears

there's no major problem.

It's all right, it's all right. Don't worry.

Is his life in any danger?

Probably not.

Then, when can he wake up?

As for that...

probably tomorrow morning at the earliest.

Thank you, Doctor.

I'm sorry.

We wish to take care for all medical bills.

Who cares for some stinky money?

If anything happens to my husband,

I won't leave you alone!

The doctor said he's all right, didn't he?

If he says it's all right, then it's all right?

My husband's injury is on his head.

What if he becomes retarded?

Or crazy? Or paralysed?

Who will support our whole family?

Who will take the responsibility?

Why are you yelling?

Are you done?

The doctor said he's all right.

You feel at ease jinxing your husband like that?

You...

This is a hospital!

If you want to fight, go outside.

I'm telling you

this isn't over!

Seriously!

What a shrew!

You still feel like talking bad about someone else?

He was clearly in the wrong!

So you were right to hit him?

He took photos of me!

Aren't you a star?

So what if they take a picture?

Stars can just be photographed whenever one wants?

The don't need my permission?

Look at my dark circles!

I haven't slept well in days.

How droopy they are!

My skin looks bad, too,

and I haven't even changed clothes.

Nor did I wash my hair.

What should I do if the pictures are leaked out?

This face is my meal ticket, got it?

So you hit him.

Aren't you afraid he'll sue you?

I'd rather be sued

than to have that photo leaked out.

I really don't know what you girls have in your mind.

What would you understand?

Gu Yanzhen!

I have something to tell you.

I have something to ask you, too.

Then I'll go first.

Today... I was a little angry,

but I'm all right now.

It's in the past.

I'm not angry anymore.

But from now on keep your distance from him.

I'm not always so easily appeased.

What... what are you saying?

I'm done. Your turn.

After you left today I realized I lost something.

I wanted to ask you about it.

What do you mean?

You suspect me of stealing from you?

No!

I just wanted to ask if you saw it.

It was a yellow bag.

It's something that Shen Junshan and I

snatched away from the Japanese.

It's very important.

I didn't see it.

Why are you still here?

I was waiting for you.

I knew Xie Liangchen would kick you out sooner or later.

You had a fight?

The situation you're in now, I can tell in one look:

You are a case of one-sided enthusiastic

unrequited love.

All the love is in your head.

Are you done?

Not yet.

Do you need me to lend you a trick?

Do you?

Say it.

Look at you now:

you cling to him every day like a pug.

He went back to Beijing

and you went back to Beijing too.

He was in danger,

you just escaped from your marriage and came back

to protect him.

How spineless!

If it were me,

I wouldn't like you this way, either.

There's no challenge in it.

If you put it like that, it does make some sense.

Doesn't it?

Then what should I do?

I'll ignore him, too?

You can't ignore him!

Only with competition you get progress.

What you have to do now is to find a girlfriend

and make a show of affection in front of him every day

to get him jealous.

Then he'll get nervous.

Easier said than done.

If you can't find a girlfriend in a moment, no problem.

I can help you.

You?

Forget it.

What?

Gu Yanzhen! I...

I'm serious!

Really, think about it.

- I'm a superstar... - No.

No.

If Jin Xianrong comes to visit Shen Junshan again

keep an eye on her for me.

The people who came into this room are only you guys.

Ruling out the others,

she's the only one left.

Besides,

I've always felt that this woman doesn't seem right.

Will you really not consider what I said?

I won't. Go home.

How unappreciative.

Mother!

Sorry for troubling you tonight.

I shall take my leave.

I failed to discipline her.

I apologize for causing you trouble.

When you return,

do apologize to Deputy Minister Gu for me.

Mr Qu, you're too kind.

All right.

Some other day I'll pay a visit.

Wicked girl!

You do miss home!

Have you eaten?

I have.

Who was that man?

You even dare ask!

You brought shame to our whole Qu family.

This matter is not all of Manting's fault.

If it's not hers, is it mine maybe?

A young lady from a great family

ran to someone else's engagement to steal away a man.

This is an offence to public decency, don't you know it?

Am I a young lady from a great family?

Father, you were right.

I'm just a showgirl.

- You... - And you're talking back, too!

Enough.

Don't ruin your health.

Come on.

Apologize to your father.

That butler Zhu's words were not agreeable, either.

It sounded like this matter had nothing to do

with their Young Master Gu.

Don't you know your own daughter?

When you say she's stubborn, it's fine.

When you say she'd willingly steal away someone else's fiance

I wouldn't believe it even if you made me.

How did I raise such a daughter?

I won't have a father who can't separate right from wrong, either.

What are you saying?

You just came back, where are you going now?

Shen Junshan.

You're here.

Miss Xianrong is here, too.

I just arrived.

How's your health?

Much better.

I can get discharged about tomorrow.

Why such a rush?

You should stay and rest a few days more.

It's a scratch.

Staying here all day is no use, either.

I really envy you.

I want to get out, too,

but the doctor won't let me.

Mr Xie, you were wounded in your leg.

You should recuperate well.

This running back and forth won't be good for your injury.

I'm sitting in a wheelchair.

It's all right.

Lying down all day I'm almost bored to death.

I'll do it.

Your hand is injured, it's inconvenient.

I'll do it.

It doesn't matter.

It's all right.

I'll do it myself.

Junshan,

you want a banana?

I don't.

Mr Xie, will you?

All right.

Thank you.

Miss Xianrong, how come your hands are so calloused?

Have you ever practiced kung fu?

How could I have practiced any kung fu?

As a child I did chores, that's how I got it.

Really?

As I see it,

it looks a bit like callus from sword practice.

You're wrong.

Probably.

After all people use guns now.

Very few will use swords.

In our Academy,

we only have one class of swordfight a month.

I heard you've just arrived in China, Miss Xianrong.

I've never asked

where you came from.

England.

Where in England?

Liverpool.

A city of arts.

No wonder you have such distinguished manners.

Thank you.

Miss Xianrong, do you also have relatives here?

I do.

Really?

We've known each other for a while,

I still don't know where your home is.

When I get a chance, I should come for a visit.

Not even Junshan has ever been at my house.

He's never even asked about it.

Mr Xie, today you asked me so many questions,

should I narcissistically assume that you have a fancy for me?

Miss Xianrong, you certainly can make a joke.

For sure, I am joking.

But I also have to warn you:

it would be useless to fancy me,

because my heart is already taken.

You two have a chat.

I'll go back for now.

Are you alright by yourself?

It's nothing.

Xiaojun is here.

Mr Xie, take care.

You two...

you look like cocks in a fight.

Really?

I rather feel that Mr Xie and I hit it off quite well.

How did it go?

Did you ask her?

What could I ask?

If she didn't take it,

asking directly would be too impolite.

If she did take it, she wouldn't admit it anyway.

So, there's nothing to do.

I still think she's off.

Why?

Instinct.

Instinct is too unreliable.

You think about it,

I'll go home for a bit.

Don't come this afternoon.

I can just ask the nurse to buy me lunch.

It's so long since you went to school.

Even if I go to the school, there's no class.

Now at the school they're making speeches every day.

When Gu Yanzhen comes,

tell him to be careful.

His father is the representative negotiator.

Among us students he has a name.

If the negotiation fails,

it will be awful for him.

Got it.

I'm going now.

Bye.

Miss Xianrong!

Xie Liangchen?

Mr Xie, what are you doing here?

I came out to take some air.

Alone?

My friend went home.

Are you leaving?

Miss Xianrong, can I bother you to do me a favor?

My water went cold.

Could you bring me a pot?

All right.

Miss Xianrong, you're really a master.

Can't say "master",

just a little quick.

Miss Xianrong, how come your hands are so calloused?

How could I have practiced any kung fu?

How could I have practiced any kung fu?

As a child I did chores, that's how I got it.

As I see it,

it looks a bit like callus from sword practice.

You're wrong.

Ms. Yu...

It can't be Ms. Yu.

Gu Yanzhen and Shen Junshan can't be, either.

Then there's only Miss Xianrong.

Hold it tight.

Don't drop it again.

Thank you.

Then, I'll go now.

Goodbye.

Why didn't you tell me they started filming?

What have you been doing?

When they started filming you were in Nanjing.

I couldn't reach you.

But then I've been back so long,

you still should have told me.

Miss Manting,

actually... it's not just this movie.

All your performances, now,

except for Palimo, they were all cut off.

What are you saying?

Chief Duan cancelled your contract.

Your father signed.

Miss Manting,

you know my situation.

My whole family depends on me to make a living.

Chief Duan...

wants me to follow Miss Pingting.

Xiao Yang is with her already.

I know,

leaving you at a time like this

is so disloyal...

And you've always been so good to me.

But my mother's health...

I have no choice.

I'm sorry.
