Episode 2

Deputy Mayor, he is the head of Kerui,

Wang Bolin. The stocks that Qian Cheng bought were from his company.

I heard from the factory workers that you and the Furong Pharmaceutical's Qian Cheng

have a very close relationship.

Yes.

Yes, we had been friends for many years.

No matter how you put it, this situation occurred because of me.

So I asked Director Yang to bring me over here.

This way I could personally give my explanation to the factory workers.

The workers have waited for a long time already.

The mayor has returned! He's returned!

Hello, Mayor!

Quiet please, everyone.

Let me introduce someone to you all.

He is the chairman of Kerui Pharmaceuticals, Wang Bolin.

I'll hand over the floor to him now.

I would like to make my statement to everyone here.

We will shoulder our responsibility to society in

the way that any company with a conscience should.

We wish to aid the government in resolving this problem.

We will shoulder

a portion of Factory Director Qian Cheng's debt.

Qian Cheng was a good brother of mine.

I cannot sit by idly and watch as misfortune has befallen him.

Because of his debt to you all,

he could not bear the guilt, and just now...

jumped off a building and committed suicide.

No matter what...

using your money to invest in stocks is wrong.

But right now the economic situation is not good.

He ran out of options and saw no way out.

But if you think about it carefully,

is it really too late to salvage our economy and our stock market?

The government will actively work to save the market!

Kerui Pharmaceuticals will also take up all responsibility!

- But what about our money? - Right! What about our money?

Who's going to return our money?

We have been heavily investing in scientific research.

In fact, there are several new medicines that are nearly completed.

Right now, I promise everyone here,

as soon as the research for the new medicine is successfully completed,

Kerui's stocks will immediately go up.

At that time, using what was Qian Cheng's portion of stocks,

I will return your money in the form of dividends.

It seems that you, Chairman Wang, are a responsible person.

This is only what we companies should be doing in the first place.

Secretary Li, please take Chairman Wang to my office.

Do a thorough investigation into what happened with Qian Cheng's twenty million.

Yes, Sir.

What's wrong?

I already had a firm grip on him,

yet he was so desperate to pry off my hand.

He'd already worked up enough courage to kill himself,

why couldn't he stand to live instead?

Although we were able to save Wang Bolin,

Qian Cheng's life

slipped away right through our fingers.

That moment when he pried open my hand and fell,

is one that I will never be able to forget.

You're not the only one.

Even for me, a seasoned policeman, this situation

also makes me feel really uncomfortable.

Instead, I think about something else.

Think of my wife, think of Tao Tao.

What is most important in life is sincerity and contentment.

Because Qian Cheng was not content with what he had

and wished too much for a sweep of good fortune, he destroyed his own family.

Why is it that stocks can make people lose all reason?

When they earn money, they desperately throw it into stocks.

When the stocks fall, they become so crazy that they choose to commit suicide.

Money often does make people irrational.

Similarly, so do stocks.

One more thing, Master.

I feel that there is something suspicious about this Wang Bolin character.

No matter how you put it, this situation occurred because of me.

Using what was Qian Cheng's portion of stocks,

I will return your money in the form of dividends.

All the nonsense that he was spouting at city hall earlier

somehow feels too neatly prepared.

I sensed it as well.

Also, Master,

I noticed earlier that Deputy Mayor Wang seemed a bit angry.

He won't take it out on you, will he?

Actually, Deputy Mayor Wang

is not as uncompassionate as you all think him to be.

True, he is the deputy mayor,

but he's also my father-in-law.

He's Tao Tao's grandfather.

In any case,

after all this time, I'm used to it.

- What are you looking at? - It's really not easy being you.

Really.

Where's Wang Bolin?

What are you doing here? He's gone back home.

You guys released him?

Qian Cheng went and committed suicide.

How can you believe that this whole thing had nothing to do with Wang Bolin?

You need to investigate him!

Wait. What does any of this have to do with you?

Yuan,

you head in first.

Out of the blue.

You're Wu Jiaqi, right?

You know who I am?

I've seen your resume.

You took the police recruitment exam.

You even scored really high. You're highly educated, not bad.

However, you're not with the police yet.

Investigating whether or not Wang Bolin is doing something illegal

is the task of us police officers.

I noticed earlier that you seem to have some relationship with Qian Cheng's family.

If you haven't anything better to do, you should go and comfort them.

We will meet again.

Dad.

You're back.

Yeah.

You should light an incense for your mother.

Time really flies.

Your mother has already left us

for 12 years now.

You're missing mom again?

I saw the news today.

Your mother's former student, Qian Cheng, committed suicide.

He was most key to proving your mother's innocence.

I had approached Qian Cheng previously.

It seemed like he had something he wanted to

tell me, but he ended up not admitting anything.

Today, I went back to his house to clarify,

but he ended up dying just like that.

It's already been 12 years.

Perhaps, we will never be able to uncover the truth.

That won't happen, Father.

Although Qian Cheng is dead,

I was able to uncover something new.

Dad, twelve years ago, Qian Cheng was the only one with the opportunity

to steal Mother's reorganization plan.

However, it turns out that the person behind him is the most critical figure.

The person who profited the most from stealing those plans was not Qian Cheng,

but Wang Bolin. Wang Bolin took advantage of the reorganization plan

in order to enter Dahua, which is today's Kerui.

That is just our own speculation.

If Qian Cheng did not profit from this,

then why would he help Wang Bolin?

That's why I said that I made a new discovery.

Qian Cheng committed suicide because he bought a lot of Kerui's stock

and the amount he invested was huge.

If Wang Bolin didn't manipulate him in the first

place, Qian Cheng wouldn't dare buy the stocks.

Unfortunately,

he messed up this time and ended up losing his life.

Dad, think about it.

In all these years, Wang Bolin always took care of Qian Cheng when doing business.

It has to be payment for the secret from back then.

Qian Cheng is already dead.

Wang Bolin is also not someone you'll casually meet again.

I'd like you to think more about your own future instead.

The events of the past...

are just something you'll need to get over.

You need to find a way to let it go.

When you've got to my age, you will realize

over the course of our lifetimes,

we will always hit many obstacles.

Some problems are large, some not so much. Others you can never resolve.

The more you try to break through the obstacle,

the more difficult it becomes. What can you do then?

We can only let it go.

A few days ago, I dropped some resumes for you.

Those finance companies are among the best in the city. I took a look at them.

The position is Investment Advisor. The salary is high, risk is minimal.

It also suits your major.

Dad, I'm not interested in any of these companies.

Until I uncover the truth

and prove Mom's innocence, I will never give up on it.

Jiaqi!

I would really like to know the whole truth.

I also really want to have an explanation for your mother.

But if that requires sacrificing your future, your mother would not be happy.

She would never want to see her own daughter

be held down by such a heavy shackle. Do you understand?

Dad...

You and Mom are the most important people in my life.

Until I uncover the truth,

I will not give up.

Xiao Rong, it's Wang Bolin.

Your son's in bed? Is he doing all right?

Wang Bolin...

What on earth did you do to Old Qian? Let me know

the truth! What were the two of you involved in?

Calm down and listen to me.

This afternoon, your Old Qian

stormed over to my house and held a knife to

my throat, demanding me to give him money.

But as you well know, both his money and mine were all invested in stocks.

We can't get it back.

Old Qian had been a good brother of mine, for so many years.

I never would have thought that he would end up down this road.

Xiao Rong, you need to believe me.

I swear on the life of my daughter who is living in America,

Old Qian's death had absolutely nothing to do with me!

I feel so regretful!

If I knew that this would happen, I would have stopped him, no matter what.

I would never have allowed him to get involved with the likes of you.

Back then, if he hadn't been tempted by the devil,

to do that thing for you,

he would have still been teaching at school today. Our family

would still be living peacefully.

Xiao Rong,

you should watch your mouth.

Listen to me. If I were you,

I would start planning for life after this.

Your son is still young,

only ten years old. He still needs to go to college.

Who knows, he might even end up studying abroad. But, of course,

Old Qian can no longer support you.

But I believe that he would not be willing to see your lives go downhill after this.

He would never have wanted the opportunity that he gained in exchange for his life

to be ruined in your hands.

Do you understand what I'm telling you?

What are you saying?

You're threatening me?

Xiao Rong, how was that a threat?

I'm just thinking about the best for you.

Here is a token of my goodwill

to help with your mourning.

Chairman Wang,

actually,

I could have come to compensate the mother and

son. You didn't need to personally come here.

I needed to personally come to settle her.

She has a son. She won't do anything stupid.

I've already taken care of everything relating to Qian Cheng.

Taken care of everything?

This contract here not only has my signature, but also Ma Shicai's.

Luckily, the police didn't get ahold of this.

Otherwise, we would really be in trouble.

- Have you found Ma Shicai? - I've already cast the net,

but haven't heard back about him yet.

You should do things more cleanly in the future. Don't leave so many loose ends!

Yes, I will.

But, Chairman Wang, how should we proceed then?

You promised to return money to the factory workers.

But for Kerui, this is a huge sum of money.

You need to cast the line far out to catch the big fish.

The stock market will not continue to crash.

It's time for us to change our strategy.

- Do you understand this book? - No, I don't.

He understands.

Watch your head.

Bolin, I don't want to leave anymore.

How about if I just go change my plane ticket?

Such a big thing just happened at our home. If I leave now,

it makes me feel really anxious.

Didn't we already agree last night?

Don't keep changing your mind.

But I'm worried about you!

What if those people come after you again?

I don't feel comfortable leaving you here by yourself.

All right, all right. Don't worry.

Everything will be fine. What happened is already over.

I will take good care of myself.

Besides, our daughter is still over there waiting for you.

Brother, that car over there is keeping surveillance on us.

Do you think I should–

Take the luggage.

Go inside with Tang Hong to do your paperwork.

I just saw an acquaintance of mine. I'll join you after I greet them.

Okay. Don't take too long, all right?

It's you again. What do you want?

Wang Bolin, Qian Cheng has only just passed away.

Where are you headed?

Is that any of your business?

What's your profession?

You're making such a hasty departure after that incident.

Are you afraid of something?

What is your involvement in Qian Cheng's death?

Miss, I do not know who you are,

nor do I care to know who you are.

I don't need to report my private life to you.

I'm warning you! Don't be too curious about me.

Otherwise, I won't be so courteous the next time I see you.

Hello!

I'm here for my interview. I have an appointment with Director Wang.

We hold the interviews on the second floor.

Director Wang is currently in a meeting though,

so you'll have to wait for a while, probably until the afternoon.

Oh, I see. That's fine. I'll just wait over there.

- No problem. - Thanks!

Brother, there're so many people here today.

Teacher Hao.

Teacher Hao!

The stock price has been rising all day.

How much of the Haibo Mining Company should we buy?

The Haibo Mining Company you are all talking about,

I personally think that there is no value in buying it at all.

Just watch carefully. Wait and watch carefully.

The stock price has been growing rapidly.

It is the only one that has been steadily growing.

Yes, that's not wrong, but think about it.

What industry is the Haibo Mining Company in? Non-ferrous metals and tin ore.

But the tin ore in our country is all in the south-west area, near Yunnan.

But the company was incorporated in Jiangsu. What is there in Jiangsu?

- Wuxi, right? - Yes.

How did Wuxi get its name?

There is a Tin Mountain in Xishan, but "no tin."

(T/N: "No tin" is the direct translation of "Wuxi")

That place does not produce tin ore.

I don't understand. How come we still shouldn't buy it?

Here's the thing. I am a stock advisor. But educating the public,

isn't a part of my job. Sorry, I still have work to do.

- We can talk next time, all right? - Thank you.

- Thanks, everyone. - Save it for another day.

Another day.

No, hey.

Let's talk calmly, all right? No need to use violence.

Talk things over calmly? Isn't that what I'm doing right now?

That three million yuan you owe Boss Liu,

when are you planning to return it?

Come on, buddy, that's not being fair.

How can you say I owe him money? He voluntarily

bought those stock shares himself.

Boy, don't talk back to me.

If it wasn't for your silver tongue, would

Boss Liu have even invested in those stocks?

Today, you better figure out how to resolve this matter.

Let's see how you try to wriggle out of this.

I really don't understand, how can you be so dense...

I really don't get it...

Stop. Stop!

Stop running!

Stop running! Don't move!

Get back here!

Stop!

Stop running!

Stand still!

Stop running!

You rascal!

Go after them!

This way!

Stop running!

Brother, when will be the end of us trying to hide from place to place?

Didn't you say that stock price would grow for sure?

How come the price is still falling?

Market bound rebound. It can't rebound until it hits the market bottom.

I just don't want to live in such constant fear anymore.

Three million yuan!

Brother, that Director Liu

has sent a debt-collection agency after us.

In the occasion that I lose an arm or leg,

how am I supposed to live the next half of my life?

Oh you. People in our profession

are fed when bold, but starve when cowardly.

Hello, Mr. Hao.

You know him?

Right now, you have two options. Option one, you come with me.

I'll take you to meet someone.

Option two, you stay here. That gang of debt collectors

are about to catch up.

Stand still!

What else is there to say? Let's go!

I am the Furong Pharmaceutical Factory's Vice Factory Director.

From when the factory was first built, I have been the factory's Vice-Director.

I had a good relationship with Old Qian.

What happened that day

really came as a shock to me, and I feel bad about it.

I've done my best to answer all your questions.

Honestly though, about what events transpired during the time he was teaching,

I really do not know much.

No problem, Director.

Actually, I'd like to see if you have some information on someone.

Take a look at this picture. Do you know this person?

Take a seat.

I know him. This is Kerui's Wang Bolin, Chairman Wang.

What's his relationship with Teacher Qian?

They're pretty close.

When our pharmaceutical factory first started, he used to visit all the time.

He used to be classmates with Director Qian.

They've known each other for over ten years.

Director Qian was a really good student.

Chairman Wang wasn't so good academically.

However, he's very clever. He's got a head for business.

Those two have always been close.

What about these past few years?

Recently, it seems they started drifting apart.

It's difficult to say. Chairman Wang is the chairman of a publicly-traded company.

He's probably busier these days. It's very understandable.

Oh right! I think...

that they took a photo together before.

Here it is. Take a look.

These things here–

These all belong to Old Qian.

I've already cleared out his stuff.

I was just about to return it to his family.

How about this?

I can deliver his belongings to his family for you.

Oh, how can I let you do that?

It's not a problem. I'm close with his family.

- All right then. Thank you! - Sure.

Sorry! Sorry!

You should watch where you're going–

It's you again.

Why can't it be me?

What are you doing here?

I'm picking up Mr. Qian's belongings for his family.

You're picking up his stuff?

Qian Cheng's case hasn't even been solved yet.

Everything related to him needs to be taken back for investigation.

Little Liu, take it.

These items should go back to Teacher Qian's family.

If you need anything, bring the proper documentation to the family.

Are you even family?

I'm telling you! You're currently obstructing police investigation.

Little Liu, take the box.

Once we've concluded our investigation and if we

find nothing wrong, we will return it to his family.

Let's go.

Brother, so this is Kerui?

Yup.

Come on in. Let me introduce you.

This is Kerui Pharmaceutical Company's chairman, Mr. Wang Bolin.

Mr. Wang, I've heard so much about you.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Hao.

I've watched your program on stock recommendations on TV.

I'm just inviting you here for a simple conversation.

If you've got some other engagement, you're free to leave at any time.

I'm free. I'm already here. Let's talk.

Great. I'd like to ask you...

What are your thoughts on the recent market crash?

Mr. Wang,

I don't think that you called me here just to hear me bluff.

So, why do you think I called you here?

Of course, it's about Kerui's stocks.

All right.

What are your thoughts about my company's stocks?

Even though the stock's price dip seems to have slowed down,

your company was dragged into Qian Cheng's case.

It hit the limit down today again. ¥9.20.

Given the current situation,

Kerui seems to be at death's door.

Mr. Hao.

You know...

I've been observing you for a while now.

I never thought anyone would be so interested in me.

I'm touched.

On the market, everyone thinks that

there is no hope for Kerui's stock.

But I believe that you are too smart to believe that.

Tell me. If you were in charge of Kerui's stocks,

what would you do?

Since you have already spoken,

I will tell you what I really think.

I, Hao Xiaoqiang, think that,

in our era, there is no such thing as a stock that cannot be saved.

As it turns out, I have been watching Kerui for a long time.

It has a good foundation. And for me,

I like a challenge. Either I don't take a chance,

or, if I do, then I need to create a miracle.

Mr. Hao, take a seat.

Mr. Hao, let's hear your proposal.

Mr. Wang, if I were to tell you that I have a

plan right now, I would really just be bluffing.

If you really trust me,

give me Kerui's detailed financial reports.

I will come up with a plan in the shortest amount of time.

All right.

Then I will wish you, in advance, imminent success.

These are all the IOU's you had with Director Liu.

I've already taken care of them for you.

After today, nobody will try to impede you from showing off your capabilities.

Mr. Wang, you're destined for great things.

Great working with you.

Brother, how about we first give him some money?

Let him use it to play around in the stock market.

Then, we can see exactly what he is capable of.

If you use a man, don't suspect him. If you suspect him, don't use him.

Have you located Ma Shicai?

Not yet.

The next thing the police will do is investigate that twenty million.

You need to find him before the police.

Tell him to leave Beijiang

or make him disappear.

Director Xia, Qian Cheng's wife is here.

She is in the mortuary room, following the abnormal death procedure.

- I'll head there immediately. - Also, one more thing.

We've finished examining Qian Cheng's belongings that we got from his company.

- We didn't find anything suspicious. - Got it. You may go.

All right.

- Brother Yuan, I was just looking for you. - What's up?

We've finally figured out what's going on with the money. Take a look.

Tell it to me plainly. You know how numbers give me a headache.

One and a half years ago, within the two weeks after

the workers were provided with a contract date,

Qian Cheng's personal account received a transfer of funds from the workers.

Added together, it totals more than twenty-million.

This twenty-million was later transferred to a business account.

- A business account? - Yes.

The business was called Wanmahui Investment Company Limited.

In other words, Qian Cheng didn't buy the stocks directly.

He actually gave all the money to an investment company instead.

Exactly.

Who is the owner of Wanmahui?

The legal representative was someone named Ma Shicai.

Look into this Ma Shicai. Then follow the money trail

and find where the funds went after it was put into Wanmahui.

All right.

Ms. Xiao.

Let's go.

Forensics Identification Lab

Ms. Xiao, sorry for your loss.

I have a few more questions for you.

Go ahead.

Before his death, was there anything unusual about Qian Cheng?

Do you know what was going on with his company?

About his company matters,

I really don't know much.

Him taking money from the factory workers

was something that I heard about for the first time that day.

Old Qian is an upright and honest person.

When things started to go sideways,

he probably couldn't face it anymore.

What do you know about Wang Bolin?

He and Old Qian were acquainted a long time ago.

The two of them had a pretty good relationship.

When Qian Cheng first opened his pharmaceutical company,

Wang Bolin helped him out a lot.

These past few years though, Chairman Wang's business kept expanding.

He started accumulating more and more money.

We started to see them

less and less.

Did you know that Qian Cheng invested in Wang Bolin's stocks?

I didn't know about it.

Have there ever been... any other conflicts between the two of them?

The two of them... I don't think so.

They've always kept a good relationship.

These past few years, I've never seen them have any disputes either.

Even though Chairman Wang's businesses kept getting better,

he still took good care of us.

Every holiday, or when he went abroad,

he would often bring us gifts.

Thank you.

If you think of anything else, you can call me at any time.
