Hello?

I have an interview appointment with you this afternoon.

I'm running about 10 minutes late, at most 15 minutes.

Can you wait a bit for me?

I'll definitely be there by then.

Thank you so much!

- Sir, will you go to the Nande Building? - Yes.

How much does it cost to get there?

Nande... ¥10.

Talk to me.

I went to Furong Pharmaceutical Factory today to look into their situation.

How was it?

All the workers there say that Qian Cheng was a good factory director.

Back then, when he asked them to pool together their

money, it was in order to keep the factory afloat.

Yet somehow, he was tempted by the devil and

ended up taking this money to invest in stocks.

What are you thinking?

I think that someone manipulated him.

Otherwise, it's way too out of character for him.

Do you think Wang Bolin–

Have you uncovered the money trail?

Is Wang Bolin involved?

For now, he doesn't seem to be involved.

Qian Cheng didn't directly invest the money into stocks though.

It was transferred to an investment company called Wanmahui.

The legal representative for this company is named Ma Shicai.

I've already tasked Lei to investigate the company.

Make sure he takes a good look at them.

I'll be off then, Master.

- Hello, who is this? - Hello, are you Yang Jianqun?

Yes, that's me.

Do you know someone named Yang Jianqiu?

That's my little sister. Where are you calling from?

I'm calling from the hospital. You should hurry over.

Emergency Department

Which room is Yang Jianqiu in?

- She's in Room 3, Bed 6. - Room 3, Bed 6...

- How are you feeling? - Older Brother.

I'm fine. Don't freak out.

The doctor just said that I was hit in the ribs.

But she said that I have to be hospitalized and receive treatment.

This will waste time and money.

All right, all right. No need to continue explaining. Just lie there for now.

Brother, let me tell you something.

I was doing really well in my interviews today.

I made a really good impression in the first two companies. There's hope.

Originally, all the times were nicely scheduled.

But then, the third company I interviewed at really liked me.

They brought the Vice-Director over to speak with me.

We ended up chatting for half an hour

and ended up messing up the schedule.

The company after that was a bit far from the third company.

I missed the bus I was going to take, so I took a rickshaw instead.

I was in a rush so I kept telling the driver to go faster.

I pushed him too much, and we ended up flipping.

That rickshaw driver was also pretty banged up.

I'm sorry.

If... If I didn't go to the Police Training Academy

causing you to neglect your studies, and at such a young age

have you help Mother take care of Father,

you wouldn't be in this situation today.

This situation you're in now,

I'm unable to help you much.

What are you babbling about?

Brother, the fact that you are a police officer is my greatest pride.

I'm really not badly hurt at all.

Go talk to the doctor. Get them to discharge me.

I will miss the hiring season if I stay here for 10 days.

Payment Notice

All right, stay right here. Let me go pay your fees.

Excuse me, I have a question.

The patient who just came in, the one in Room 3 Bed 6,

Yang Jianqiu, what exactly is the extent of her injuries?

Yang Jianqiu? She fractured her rib.

But it's not too serious. We were able to promptly treat it.

With her kind of injury, the patient will typically

need to take about a week to half a month to heal.

I'll let you go pay her fees then.

Yes, thank you.

Hello.

I'm the one who's supposed to come in tomorrow for an interview.

I'm calling to ask if it is possible to push my interview back a couple days?

I have some personal matters to deal with.

It absolutely can't be pushed back?

Wait, wait! I'll be there! I'll go to the interview.

Can we just move the interview time to a slightly later time slot-- Hey!

Brother, what are you doing?

You, stay in the hospital and take your time to heal.

Brother, this company is a really good one.

People will do just about anything to get into this company.

How could you hang up the call?

I'll help you figure out something for your job.

Brother Yuan, pick whatever you want to eat. Today, I'm treating you.

Wow.

What's going on today?

Let me guess.

You passed your interview?

You know me so well!

My wife is so amazing!

Which company?

- Jinyuan Securities. - Jinyuan Securities?

It sounds like some big company.

What are your responsibilities going to be?

I am only doing the basic stuff now.

Account manager.

I open accounts for clients,

make basic stock transactions.

When I get a promotion

I can be a "big boss" of Account Managers.

Then I can advise people on what stocks to buy.

Take a look at these glasses.

How does this look?

How about you try these?

Those look too ostentatious.

Just try them on first.

It's settled. These look good on you.

Yes, Officer Xia.

- Let's check out. - We're really getting these?

Yes, just trust me.

- Mayor. - You guys go ahead.

- Are you coming in? - Yes.

- Hi. - Jianqun, what brings you here?

- Here, take a seat. - No, I'm good.

I just came from the hospital, and this place was on the way.

I heard from Wang Li about it.

Your sister was hospitalized. How serious is it?

Oh, it's not too bad.

It was just a minor car accident.

Is there something you need from me?

Oh, it's actually also about Jianqiu.

Let's talk about personal matters back at home.

It's still working hours.

- Oh, right. Yes. - Have some water.

No, thank you.

In that case, I'll head back to check on Mom.

Sure.

- Then I will be leaving. - Yes, go ahead.

Bye.

- Jianqun? - Hello, Father.

- Let's head on up? - No...

I actually just came down. I've already checked on Mother.

This is about Jianqiu?

Yes.

I thought it over myself.

I didn't want to have Little Li come to you about this.

No matter what, she's my little sister.

I should be the one to discuss it with you.

You already know more or less about Jianqiu's situation.

I know that doing this puts you in an awkward situation.

Jianqun, when I promoted you to be the Criminal Investigation Director

and the Top 10 Youth of Beijiang,

I didn't hesitate.

For capability is the only thing to consider.

Everyone can judge your ability for themselves.

I only stick to the real deal.

Nobody else has any objections.

Although, about your sister–

Oh, if it's too much to ask, we can just forget about it.

No, no. What did your sister major in?

Her major was business management.

How about this? Tomorrow, I'll have Secretary Li look into her.

We still should resolve her situation in a realistic way.

All right.

As for you, don't let this matter distract you anymore.

Your most important task right now is to do your investigation.

Protect the public.

I understand. Head on up then, I'll take my leave.

Thank you so much!

I'm off!

Ward 3

How much deposit did you pay?

Excuse me.

The patient that previously occupied this bed, where did she go?

Sorry, we don't know. I only just arrived here.

We don't know.

You should ask the doctor.

Sorry about that.

Doctor!

Do you know where my sister went?

The leaders at the hospital arranged it.

Yang Jianqiu was given her own room.

She's in this room here. Go take a look.

Working in a bank must be hard.

I'm not scared of having a lot of work

It's such a great job. It's definitely worth

it even if I have to do a lot of work.

You say that now–

Come in!

Brother!

Director Yang.

Wow, you siblings look really similar.

Secretary Li, why did you come to the hospital

without giving me a call first?

I heard that she was hospitalized. I wouldn't feel

good until I checked to see how she was doing.

Brother, take a look. He brought me so many things, too.

It's nothing much.

Director Yang, I heard about your sister's situation.

As soon as she's discharged, she can come in for work.

For the time being, she can rest assured and heal up.

Secretary Li, my sister is a little different from other college students.

Her condition is a little different from them.

Which is why it is so hard for her to find a job.

With qualifications like Miss Jianqiu here has,

she only needs to pick the job.

Miss Jianqiu, I have already sent your documents to them.

All you need to do now is wait for notification.

Brother, Brother Li here is offering me a job at the bank.

What?

Secretary Li, isn't this a bit–

Oh, is it too low of a starting point?

You name it. What kind of job do you want for her?

That's not what I'm saying.

I was just thinking, is this a bit unsuitable, a bit too much?

Look at you! What are you even saying?

If there's nothing else, I'm going to head out.

- Wait, let me send you out. - No, no need.

You should be resting. No need to send me off.

I'll leave you two be.

- Travel safely. - Got it.

Thank you!

Brother! That guy's the secretary of the mayor!

I was so nervous when I found out.

I was wondering when you would show up. I was so scared I'd mess things up.

So about your job situation,

what did he say?

He just said that it was a job at a bank.

As for the details, we'll figure it out once I get there.

It's at a bank, Brother!

I wouldn't even dream of it!

Here.

Come on! I'm not a child anymore. I don't need you to feed me.

You're my little sister! Open up.

If you really like this job,

then make sure you do it well.

Yes, I definitely will.

I'll make you proud.

Brother, if you look at it this way,

Sister-in-Law really treats me so well.

She must have asked her dad, right?

Brother, you did well, marrying such a great person.

The whole family gets to share in some of their glory.

Open up.

Mr. Hao, you returned earlier than I expected.

Opportunities disappear in the blink of an eye.

It'll slip away if I don't seize the opportunity.

Talk to me.

Tell me this, Mr. Wang.

Worldwide,

where is the most valuable market located?

It's right here, in China.

But the market is irrational now.

Currently, every person in the market here only has one goal,

which is to try to make as much money as possible in the

shortest amount of time, and then pull out immediately.

If it continues, the market will stay irrational.

No one will be able to contain it.

But now, things are different.

That's because now, Mr. Wang, you are here.

You are an investment strategist who is long-term goal-oriented.

You will strengthen

the stocks in China.

You're just buttering me up.

How am I long-term goal-oriented?

Because you picked me. That proves you're long-term goal-oriented.

Enough.

Keep going. What's your plan?

If you leave Kerui to me,

then within this one year

we will slowly rise

and use the money from stock sales

to upgrade and restructure Kerui.

Upgrade and restructure?

Tell me.

How will we upgrade and restructure it?

First, making medicine is a very lucrative business.

We cannot give it up, but other than that,

the most important part is that we must make

Kerui a company that people will invest in.

We need to use the money earned from Kerui's stocks

to invest in other companies that are new and innovative.

For example, Mobile Communications,

Bioengineering, and Agricultural Modernization.

We need to show the world

that China's market is not just a place to store their money.

As long as someone is able to use it properly

then it can become

something that can create true value

for our country, nation, and society.

Mr. Wang, if you work with me

We will build the biggest private equity in China.

Can you guarantee that everything in your plan

is completely legal?

Speculation was illegal once before.

So I want to let you know

that this is not a short-term plan.

This is a long term investment!

If you are willing

to work with me on this undertaking,

give me 10% of your corporate shares.

Good faith is good faith.

And business is business.

I can give you

- 8%. - Deal.

- Hello, Chief. - Hello.

- Hello, President Sun. - Hello.

- Hello, President. - Hello.

My apologies, police officers.

Sorry for making you wait.

I am the president of this bank, Sun Ming.

I am Yang Jianqun from Beijiang Criminal Investigation Division.

This is officer Xia Yuan.

Nice to meet you, Officer Xia.

- Sit, sit. - Sure.

This is what you asked for.

All the transactions of Wanmahui.

Please have a look.

- Sit down. - Okay.

Master, although none of there is over ¥10,000,

the total amount is still pretty high.

And all the payee accounts are different.

Haven't your staff ever complained about it?

Wanmahui's transactions were done online.

If you want to see transactions

made from the business hall, it's in the later pages.

It is?

President Sun,

is this normal?

Have you ever questioned them?

Officer Xia,

this concerns our client's privacy.

You must know that every bank has a goal to reach.

They are one of our major clients. For our major clients' requests,

we always do our best to provide what they want.

You have never suspected that it might be illegal?

All the payee accounts are

legit domestic accounts.

We are also able to track every transaction.

As for where the fund went after,

it's not really our responsibility.

Hello?

Got it.

Yuan, let's wrap up for now.

Right, give your phone number to President Sun.

President Sun, if Wanmahui's future transactions

look odd, please contact Officer Xia.

No problem.

- This is my number. - Yes. Thank you.

Master,

this case doesn't seem to be a simple one. It could be fraud.

Lei is heading to Ma Shicai's home.

We shall head to Wanmahui's office now.

There's no security that can't be sold.

There are only people who can't sell.

- Good morning, everybody! - Good morning, Manager!

- What's our slogan? - We can! We can! We sure can!

What's our slogan?

We can! We can! We sure can!

Let's get started.

Are you here to purchase our financial products?

Our products guarantee to have a 100% return rate.

You made the right decision to come...

Police

What can I do for you police officers?

Is your chairman Ma Shicai here?

I don't know where he is. I haven't seen him in the past few days.

How about this? You can ask my manager. Let me take you to him.

Manager, there are two police officers here to see you.

Please.

Officers, how may I help you today?

You are worshiping every god you can worship.

It's only for good luck.

Where is Chairman Ma?

I don't know. He said he was going to settle

a deal. I haven't seen him for two days.

The manager doesn't know where the boss is?

I'm a manager, but all I do is harp on the employees

so that they don't slack off.

Our boss personally handles our company's business.

Has there been anything different about Chairman Ma

- for the past two days? - There's nothing unusual.

What happened to Chairman Ma?

Nothing. We just wanted to talk to him. We should leave since he is not around.

Right, I am thinking about buying stocks lately.

Do you have any recommendations?

I am sorry. We only have financial products.

We don't provide advisory services.

- Sorry to bother. - Take care.

Master, this company is highly suspicious.

That manager said they don't have stocks.

So, why did Qian Cheng give his money to Ma Shicai?

We will find out once we have the warrant to go through their ledger.

Lei said after Qian Cheng died,

Ma Shicai hasn't gone back home once.

Is he running away?

Mr. Wang, imagine this is Kerui's stock.

Kerui's stock price is here now.

We need it to reach here

so that our legal shares can gain more money.

We need to get as many bargaining chips as we can when the price is low.

For example, we are here now. If I buy 3,000,000 shares at once,

the impact those shares can create

will boost Kerui's share price by ¥2.

But immediately after,

if I put more money into it

and buy 30,000,000 shares at once,

then it can do more than

boosting the share price by a few yuan.

It can increase the price by a factor of ten.

You once said publicly that

Kerui's new medicine is about to come out. That's great.

I hope that's true. In that case,

Kerui's price will continue to grow.

But I have one little favor to ask.

Please don't release any more words

regarding Kerui's new medicine

before I finish buying these stocks.

You want to change the price

by using the information asymmetrically.

That's the way information should be.

Especially for the share market.

We can use the information asymmetry

to fake a slump and force the individual investors

to sell out so that we can enter the market

and buy them all and bring the price up.

In our colloquial language, this is called

"harvesting leeks." (T/N: "financial reshuffling")

Mr. Hao, how smart you are.

However, I must remind you that

it's illegal to manipulate the stock market in China.

It's my voluntary act.

Continuously buying stocks

will require a great amount of money. Mr. Hao,

- are you asking me to pay for you? - No, no.

To show my sincerity,

I will handle the money required at the beginning.

But I need you to pull some strings for me.

- That won't be a problem. - Great.

One more thing. After we finish reshuffling,

we will need

about ¥60,000,000 of liquid assets. This sum of money...

I will figure it out.

- Senior. - Jiaqi.

I finished cleaning your walls today.

It's better for Rui Rui to not see it.

Thank you, Jiaqi.

- Come on in. - Sure.

Have some water.

You are so thoughtful.

But the creditors haven't come lately.

It's all right.

Where's Rui Rui? Is he at school?

I'm really concerned about you and Rui Rui.

What are your plans for the future?

I don't have any plans yet.

We're doing all right.

Senior Sister,

if it's convenient for you, I'd like to take

a look through Teacher Qian's belongings.

There might be something there that can help me.

As you already know, that matter is extremely important to me.

I know that you've always suspected Old Qian.

All the other times when you came here,

although you didn't accuse him of anything,

you've always watched him, watched us like a hawk.

- Look, Old Qian isn't even here anymore! - Senior,

it's precisely because he's no longer here

that it's even harder for me to put this aside.

Do you really believe that Teacher Qian's death

was just simply because he couldn't repay his debts?

All of our money is in the market and we can't get it back.

There's nothing I can do.

Senior Sister, my family was not the only victim of the Dahua case.

You may think that this matter has already ended after so many years.

But in reality, Teacher Qian, you, as well as many other people,

have not yet escaped from this case.

If I were you, I would be thinking about my future.

Your kid is still young.

He might need to study abroad one day.

I cannot think of these things now.

Let me tell you, Jiaqi.

At this point, the only thing I want

is to live a life with my son.

People should live their lives looking to the future.

You hear me? This applies to you, too.

Senior Sister, don't get upset.

You also know my personality.

I won't stop until I find out who's behind this.

Take good care of yourself and Rui Rui.

I'll come and visit another day.

Wang Bolin, I need to see you.

This is the place. Come this way.

Come in.

Rui Rui's school transfer is completed.

No one will bother you two

now that you live here.

Here is the dining room.

This is the living room.

Bedrooms are upstairs.

Let's check out the first floor.

It will cause suspicion

if a property is added under your name now. Once your son grows up

and goes to study abroad, I will prepare another house for you.

This is the rear garden.

I have hidden everything about Dahua.

As long as you can keep us safe,

no one will find it.

I did this for the friendship between our families.

This house is all right. Qian Rui and I will move in in a few days.

Great.

Has Wu Jiaqi contacted you before?

She's been after me lately.

I had Tang Hong look into her. Turns out she is the daughter of Huang Yue.

Don't do anything stupid.

You misjudged me.

I only wanted to know what information she knows.

Over these years, she came to our house a lot.

She must be trying to get information about Dahua.

But I kept my mouth tight.

After all, our family did gain from that case.

Right.

Let me know when you want to move in. I will send people to help out.

It's all right.

There was a cop asking about you.

I dodged his question.

But I think it's better for us to meet less.

After Qian Cheng jumped off the roof, we found out that

he wired the money to buy Kerui's stocks

to Wanmahui.

But according to the updated investigation,

the legal entity, Ma Shicai,

disappeared after Qian Cheng died.

Wanmahui's manager said that

they don't provide stock purchasing services.

We need to focus our efforts

on Ma Shicai and Wanmahui.

Xia Yuan and I will go to the securities company

and verify if Wanmahui ever purchased Kerui stocks for Qian Cheng.

Lei.

Director Yang.

Take your men and find out Ma Shicai's social relationships.

See if we can find him through some other sources.

Yes, Sir.

The rest of you will stick to the trail that you just reported

and close the 428 case.

Yes!

Dismissed.

Xia Yuan, let's go to Jinyuan Securities.

Haven't you found Ma Shicai yet?

There's no lead from his wife in America

or in Beijiang.

It's like he disappeared.

Little Wang, bring it up.

Let's eat.

We must find him before the cops.

I have sent out all of my men to search for him in Beijiang.

We will be able to get him as soon as he comes out.

We will end up like Qian Cheng if he gets caught.

I know, Brother.

Hurry up and eat.

- Excuse me. - Hello.

We are the police. We called you before we came.

What can we do for you?

We need the record of Wanmahui's stock transactions.

Okay. Please follow me.

You were a smart kid when we hired you.

What's wrong with you now?

Stop laughing. Laughing every time I criticize you. Stop!

Xiaohui switched her job?

Maintain customer relations. Understand?

It has been a few days. I forgot to tell you.

Do you know how many troubles you have caused?

She is being criticized. You should go console her.

We are investigating. It's not really appropriate.

It's all right. Just go.

Why are you here?

I am here for a case.

Are you okay? I saw her shouting at you.

I get shouted at every day.

Are you okay?

Stop!

Stop!

Where are you going?

Why are you running away?

I... I... I am not.

- You are not? - I wasn't running away.

Why were you at the securities company?

For... For-For personal business.

What's this?

I am sorry.

I was doing business for my company.

This...

Very well.

You just told us that Wanmahui doesn't provide stock

purchasing services. Now you are canceling your account.

I didn't lie. Wanmahui has no stock transactions.

Mr. Ma told me to open this account a year and a half ago.

I didn't participate in it. He told me to cancel the account

but I stalled the cancellation for a while.

You came to check our ledger yesterday.

I felt guilty about this, so I wanted to come today to...

Then I bumped into you. That's why I ran.

I am sorry.

Is there anything else you didn't tell us?

Nothing. Wanmahui has no stock transactions at all.

Let me tell you! It's breaking the law to hide illegal information.

Officer, I have told you everything I knew.

You can go now.

Master.

We know where you live and where you work.

You shall answer our call immediately. Understand?

I know. I will cooperate.

You can go.

I...

Thank you. Thank you.

I am out.

See, the account was opened on the same day that Qian Cheng's funds were transferred.

But there's no transaction.

It must be a set up for Qian Cheng.

We know that the wire from Qian Cheng to Ma Shicai

didn't go into the stock market but was transferred out.

Looks like Ma Shicai is running away.

Hey.

Director Yang, we found out that Ma Shicai has another house.

Okay, we will be on our way. Let's go.

Lei.

Director Yang.

I looked into it. Ma Shicai bought this house a year and a half ago.

- A year and a half ago? - Yes.

That's when Qian Cheng tried to buy stocks.

Right. He really enjoyed spending other people's money.

From the ticket sales center, we found out that

he bought a ticket to America leaving next week.

Does he have any other relatives?

His wife lives in America. His older brother recently got sick and died.

His parents live in the suburbs. I have set up a watch there.

Have you informed the custody?

That's the first thing I did after Director Yang called me.

Get evidence. Don't miss anything.

Yes.

He hasn't come back here for a long time.

Lei.

Brother Yuan.

Have you looked into his wife's travel record?

She went to America three years ago and hasn't come back once.

Look at this.
