Hunting

Episode 17

Police

That guy Feng Yuanliang sounds dodgy.

I think he's suitable

But, you don't have a good understanding of him

Why don't we investigate it ourselves?

How would we do it?

Do you have the time to go to Ge Bi? Moreover

the people at Xingaoke aren't blind.

If you're always lurking there, what if you alert them?

Alright, let's meet him first.

If it's not good enough, we'll have to think of another way.

Let's wait and see.

This is the writer I told you about, Mr Feng Yuanliang.

This is Officer Wu Jiaqi from our financial crime investigation squad.

Hello officer. You're so pretty.

She must be the top beauty in your bureau.

Nice to meet you, Teacher Feng.

Come on, let's go in.

-Sit here -Ok

How is it? Have you made progress?

I examined the investment projects in Xingaoke.

There's quite a few. And all varied.

There's hospitals, plantations...

But in my experience,

these philanthropic hospitals that can be closely scrutinsed

usually aren't suspicious.

Those which are problematic

are those which are

-unsuspecting -Let's get to the point.

If you have any thoughts, just tell us.

I found out they have a plantation which is over 1500 acres translated from 10,000 mu.

They're saying it's for farming sea buckthorn fruit.

But I think I should see it for myself.

I might find something.

Alright, when are you planning to go?

I've bought a ticket for the first service tomorrow morning.

Here's the funds we agreed on.

It's for your expenses.

This is half a month's salary for me, so spend it wisely.

Got it, don't worry, I won't waste it.

Fine. Let's treat this as your leaving dinner.

We hope you'll return with success.

Waiter, we want to order.

Waiter, we- we want to order.

Did you pad anything under that?

Driver, don't worry, the chicken is wrapped up.

When we get there, I'll tip you nicely.

Alright

This journey will be tiring for you

two elders.

A car ride isn't tiring.

Son, why isn't Tao Tao coming?

Oh,

Tao Tao has been

persistently talking about coming to collect you two

but this afternoon, she has an extra study class.

Is she behind in studies so she needs this class?

Oh no, mum you're not aware but

kids in the city

all need to attend extra study classes

regardless of their grades.

They also have to do tons of extracurriculars.

Anyway, Tao Tao's mum

is organising these.

Oh right, then that's worth paying for.

It's tiring to be a kid now.

Yes, that's right.

Why didn't Miao Miao come either?

She's working overtime today.

Oh yeah, mum and dad,

you two elders will stay with me ok?

Why didn't you say earlier.

Tao Tao's mum likes a clean house.

You'll make a mess with these chicken feathers all over the floor.

-It'll make her irritated. -It'll be fine

It's fine, don't worry.

Mum, what kind of person do you think your daughter-in-law is?

It's better not to stay with them.

It's not convenient. Let's stay with Miao Miao

-for a couple of days. -Yes yes yes

What's inconvenient about staying with your son?

I already agreed with Miao Miao.

She's rented a

flat with 2 bedrooms and a living room.

It's better to stay with her.

Mum, I'm your son.

It's not easy for you two to visit.

What's wrong with staying with your son?

Nothing, there's nothing wrong.

There's nothing we want more than to stay with you.

We're just worried that Tao Tao's mum

will find it inconvenient.

That wont happen.

You two just relax and stay with me, ok?

Later, I'll ask Miao Miao to come over.

Let's have a family dinner.

-Let's just listen to him. -Fine

-We'll listen to you -We'll stay with you

Any passengers for the farm? Wake up quickly.

Wake up everyone.

Any passengers for the farm?

Don't forget any of your belongings.

Are we at the farm?

We're nearly there.

I've slept the whole day and we've only just arrived.

Ge Bi is too big.

Quick, make sure you have your own belongings.

Don't forget them on the bus.

Sis, how do you get to the Sea Buckthorn farm?

Oh, walk this way.

Keep going and you'll see it.

-Over there? -Yes yes

-Alright, thanks -Have a safe trip

Ju Hua Sea Buckthorn Farm Welcomes You

Ju Hua Sea Buckthorn Farm Welcomes You

Planting healthy sea buckthorn...

There really is sea buckthorn here.

Hey, what are you doing!!

Stop, don't run.

What are you doing?

Hey, why are you stealing my stuff?

What, what are you doing stealing my stuff?

Why are you taking photos?

We are a sea buckthorn fruit plantation. You can't take photos here.

Why can't you take photos of a fruit plantation?

You didn't even lock your gates, so I came in to take a photo.

I'm a photographer.

I came all this way

to take pictures of the landscape. I think it's beautiful. What's wrong with that?

I don't care what you're here for.

I'm telling you you aren't allowed to take photos.

-Why not? -Not satisfied?

Come and see our leader then.

What are you doing?

What's my photography got to do with your leader?

Don't push me.

Where are we?

Why are you taking me here?

Your leader is here?

This is our leader's office.

Our leader isn't here, just go in and wait.

I can't wait forever. When is he back?

Shortly.

Go in.

How about this,

I'll come and visit your leader another day?

Get in.

Give me your bag.

It's empty.

It really is.

Go ahead, take it.

That thing

Bro, there's nothing in it.

Just some spare clothes.

What are you doing this for?

When is your leader coming?

I have other things to do.

You have no reason to do this.

Stay here.

-Is it good? -Yes.

I grew them all with no fertilizer.

Taotao, leave your grandpa alone.

Dad, have some tea.

Eat some peanuts. It's really good.

Indeed.

Dad.

I think you and mom should just move into the city.

There's AC in the room,

so that it will be better

during the winter.

Especially for your ankles.

I am used to the yard in the countryside.

The buildings look like cages to me.

Miaomiao.

-How is your work? -Good.

You lost weight.

Did you find a boyfriend?

Why so rush?

Do you know how old you are?

Listen to me, let's go back if it's too tiring.

Get you a nice guy.

Can you stop?

I am working at a bank. It's a great job.

Stop talking about going back.

Fine, fine.

I will stop.

Miaomiao, when do you have time?

Your father and I want to see your apartment.

What for?

I think

it's not convenient

to stay at your brother's place.

Alright, later on.

Don't forget.

Taotao, do you know that

your grandfather gave me a nickname when I was a kid.

It's the name of an animal. Wanna guess?

Dad, you are here.

You are back.

-Where's mom? -She is busy in the kitchen.

I will help her out.

Come on, it's time to practice piano.

Mom, the peanuts are so good.

You must practice.

Was it washed?

Here, wipe your hands.

Mom, Xiaoli is back.

Li is back? See I bought a chicken.

We brought many produce.

I will handle it, mom. You should take a rest.

No need.

You don't know where I keep the ingredients.

Here.

Everything I brought

is fertilizer-free.

You can't buy these at the market.

I will get you some clothes.

What for?

Sister, they brought their clothes.

Dad, this is Jianqun's pajamas.

Mom, this is mine.

Do we need to wear pajamas?

Dad, there were all kinds of people on the train.

There are bacterias all over.

Right, Jianqun?

Alright. We will change.

Let's go.

Do you need my help?

Jianqiu, come with me to the kitchen.

Let me know if you need help.

Jianqun, clean up the table. It's messy.

Sister, sorry to bother you.

Jianqiu, what happens to your two bedrooms apartment?

Did you get a roommate?

Or did you get a boyfriend?

You must tell me if you get a boyfriend.

I will check him for you.

Sister, I need to move out.

The landlord stopped renting it.

Did you find a new one yet?

Not yet. I need to get a smaller one.

The big one is too expensive.

Sure. You can live alone in the small one.

Mom and dad will stay with us.

Also,

I think young people should do more and talk less.

How embarrassing it would be

if they can't keep their promises?

Also, don't buy me anymore facial card.

Don't do anything that's out of your ability.

You are the one to suffer from it.

I know, sister.

Jianqiu, go get the mop.

Jianqiu?

Get the mop and clean it up.

What did you say?

A tourist went into the Hippophae Garden and toke photos?

Is there any tourism line?

No.

Yeah. Who would take photos in the middle of nowhere.

Treat him well.

Okay, Chief Wang. How long should we keep him?

Delete the photos first.

We will discuss once we figure out who he is.

Got it.

Manager, you said I can come to you if I need help.

I do have something

to ask for your help.

You got the right person. Tell me.

Does our bank have dorms?

Dorms?

What's wrong? Are you in trouble?

It's my apartment.

The landlord will stop renting it.

Her son is getting married. They are taking it back.

My parents' house will be removed,

they are living with my brother now.

I said that they can stay with me when they come over.

I rented the big one for them.

Now that everything is scrambled together.

Is it right to put them in the dorm?

No, not them.

It's me. I will be living in the dorm.

I want to rent a smaller apartment for them.

So that I can afford it.

No. Our bank doesn't provide dorms for employees.

We all bought our own apartments.

Also, they came to visit you,

how are you going to take care of them if you don't live with them?

You will be buying an apartment sooner or later.

I don't have money for that.

I thought about it before.

Once I save enough money for the down payment,

I will get a loan.

Jianqiu, no wonder you work in the Credit Department.

80% of the mortgage will go to the bank. It is worth it?

There's no other way.

You must pay in full.

I can't even afford the down payment.

Manager, the one I am living in right now,

how much is it if it's paid in full?

-Less than 100000 Yuan. -1000000?

Let me calculate it.

Alright. Jianqiu, save it.

You won't be able to buy it with your salary.

How about this? I have some money to spare.

You can have it if you don't mind.

Think of it as I lend it to you.

No.

I can't. No to mention that I won't be able to repay you.

How are you unable to repay me?

Aren't you buying stocks now?

I am. It's only a few hundred thousand Yuan of Xingaoke's shares.

It's not enough.

Did you earn anything?

-I did earn. -That's good.

What does it mean? It means that you can handle the stock market.

Why is it not enough? It's because you didn't have enough principle.

There's a saying.

The more you invest, the more you gain.

Let's do this.

Take the money

and buy the apartment in full.

Have your parents over and take care of them.

This is what we should do as their kids.

Then you can invest the rest in the stock market.

It can generate more money for you.

Don't look at me like that. You have the ability. You

will be able to earn back the principle in a few years.

If anything, the apartment you pay in full for,

the market price will go up in a few years.

You will be richer than me.

Right?

Also, your parents came visit you,

they wanted to see you live well.

You are not living as good as you were before.

They will be so sad.

Alright, that's the deal.

I will lend you the money.

Manager, let me write an IUO to you.

I will repay you as soon as I earn profit.

I will wire you some of my salaries every month.

It will take time but I will repay you.

We don't need an IUO.

Of course I need to do it.

Is it you don't trust me or I don't trust you?

Am I worried that you would escape?

Where are you going?

Alright, let's drop it.

I have paid the check, let's go.

Come on.

Today, our main job is

to collate the results of our investigation

into Xingaoke's investment projects, ok?

Is that ok?

Come on, who's going to go first.

Xia Yuan, tell me what you've found.

Hi, I'm in a meeting.

Hello, Director Xia, it's me, Feng Yuanliang.

Oh, wait a minute.

What's wrong?

I'm being held in the sea buckthorn farm.

What? Have they injured you?

They haven't yet

They've locked me in a small room.

My phone and camera have been confiscated. When they were delivering food,

I nicked their phone to call you.

Wait a moment.

Ok, don't panic. I'll find a way to save you.

Director Xia, you need to figure this out quickly.

They'll discover that I stole their phone soon.

They'll come back and I have no idea what they'll do.

I know.

Save who?

I privately hired someone to investigate the sea buckthorn farm for me.

He's being held there and stole their phone to call me.

If he's discovered, it'll be dangerous.

What's he called?

Feng Yuanliang.

Give me the phone.

-Hello, Feng Yuanliang -Yes, hello

Answer me a few questions.

What kind of room are you locked in? Is it a multi-storey or single level building?

Is there anyone on guard outside?

Also, how often do they visit you?

I'm in a single level building

I'm next to a horse pasture, and the doors are locked on the outside.

The windows are locked too so I can't escape. I reckon they'll be back soon.

They'll find out quickly that I've stolen their phone.

Listen to me. Don't panic.

That person will ask for their phone.

When they do so, do not panic.

The most important thing is your safety, everything else is secondary.

I can't find my cellphone anywhere.

I reckon that guy nicked it when I was delivering food.

This guy needs to be taught a lesson.

Yeah,

I told you he stole it. And he dares to call the police.

I didn't call them.

Why would I do that

If you didn't then who are you calling?

I didn't.

Why do you keep calling?

I just told you

if you don't come home now, don't bother coming back.

Spend the rest of your life with your camera. All you do is take photos.

You've taken so many and still earn so little.

When you came to deliver food, you left your phone here.

I rushed to call my wife, so she didn't worry.

I'm telling you, I'm a photographer.

I'm doing a piece for National Geographic.

Next month's theme is plants.

I saw your sea buckthorn farm was so stunning so I couldn't help myself.

But you didn't say I couldn't.

Your gate wasn't even locked so I didn't know.

Can't you let me leave?

You guys, stop what you're doing.

Go and have lunch.

-Director Yang, it's not time yet -It's too early.

I said to go eat lunch!

Yes.

Yuan,

how long have you been the deputy director of the criminal investigation division?

A few months.

I think this is the end for you.

Master, I was wrong.

You dare to ask an outsider to investigate the Xingaoke case?

Even if he wouldn't disclose secrets.

But what about his safety?

Has this person received professional training?

Director Yang, I was also involved in this. Please also reprimand me.

That's very honourable

I'll talk about you in a minute.

But, we were just eager to help the investigation.

Don't talk this nonsense in front of me.

I just need you to not create another case for us.

Master, we will seriously self-reflect on this.

If this person can be saved

that is the best scenario.

If anything happens to him,

we will have to halt the activities of our special investigation squad.

Yuan, you're an experienced officer,

why are you acting so rash?

You can privately

find people to investigate. But you should tell me first.

Can we plan it ahead?

We thought you wouldn't agree.

Am I a stubborn old man to you?

Stop, say no more.

Each one of you, write me a self-criticism review.

Yes.

Right, officer Xia Yuan.

I just remember that you are from the Criminal Investigation Division.

I am not your supervisor. You don't need to do it.

Master, don't say that.

You are always my Master no matter where you go.

Get out!

I have called our boss. It was a miscommunication.

Check if you miss anything.

No, it's all here.

We are sorry.

Sorry.

No more pictures.

Bye.

Auntie Zhang, this is little Yang.

Little Yang, how is your moving?

I am about to talk to you about it.

Can I not move?

Little Yang, we have talked about it.

I am taking it back now.

How can you do this?

Auntie Zhang, please calm down.

Your son is getting married, right?

The apartment is over 10 years.

Don't you want to buy your son a new apartment?

Easy for you to say.

I don't have that much money to buy a new one.

I want to buy your apartment.

What?

My apartment? You want to buy it?

Auntie Zhang, I can pay in full.

Hello, which one do you want?

700082.

Please key in your account and password.

-How much are you buying? -1000000.

No problem.

-Hurry. -Please wait.

Jianqiu, hurry up and tell.

I don't have to eat steak with you.

I am cooking for five today.

Sister, thank you.

Don't say that. What do you want to say?

This.

Take it.

What's this?

My brother was out a lot lately.

You did a lot to take care of mom and dad.

I am not that kind of person. You should take it back.

Sister, don't take this the wrong way. I am being sincere.

Lately,

I have been thinking about

keeping my promises.

Mom and dad came because of me.

I am really grateful that you have been taking care of them.

Take it.

I know. They have different habits.

They shouldn't be staying with you.

Hold on for a few days, I will bring them back soon.

Aren't you moving?

Where are you taking them to?

I am negotiating with the landlord about renewing the lease.

Once it's done,

I will take them over.

Where did you get the money?

I earned from the stocks. It went up fast.

Anyway, I didn't steal it.

You earned that much?

I spent all my money

and borrowed some from my colleagues.

I knew you're smart.

Sister, don't tell my brother about this.

He is too stiff.

He is too stubborn to understand.

Okay, I won't tell him.

Jianqiu, which stock did you buy?

Xingaoke, it has been going up so fast lately.

Should I get some too if it's that good?

Great, how many do you want?

Let me think about it.

Alright, sister, take the money.

I am off to work now.

I can't take this.

Take it.

Master.

He called. He just got off the train.

He will be here soon.

Are you hungry? Should we eat something?

Let's wait. This dinner is to thank him

and remind you to

not to do this again. It's too dangerous.

I know, Master.

You are finally back safely.

This is...

This is my master, the Director of Economics

Investigation Police, Yang Jianqun.

You must thank him. He was the one who taught you how to get out.

Director Yang, nice to meet you.

Thanks to you. I won't be here without you.

It's alright. Let's get inside.

Here.

Eat. It's all for you.

Thank you.

Eat, eat.

Professor Wang, you suffered, please eat.

Forgive me.

As soon as I got off the train,

I went to the Hippophae Garden right away.

They captured me before I wan able to do anything.

For straight-up two days. I am so hungry.

Slow down. How was your way back?

-It was fine. -Thank god, you are safe.

But this is false imprisonment, we won't let it slide.

It's alright.

We should be discrete for now.

For the bigger picture? I am impressed.

Impressive.

Let me tell you, I was so calm.

You did suffer a lot.

But don't worry,

we will have them pay for what they did in a short future.

Great.

Try this one.

This is good.

Eat as much as you want.

The dinner is on me, but he is paying for it.

No problem.

I have something for you.

Check this.

After I got out,

I thought I couldn't just leave like that.

So I returned and grabbed the camera.

I took pictures of everything in the Hippophae Garden.

I think it's just a lie.

There's no 10000 Mu of it. It's only like 10 Mu.

Good for you!

You did great.

And you solve my royalty case that

I have talked to you about?

Let me tell you, the royalty case does not belong to our division.

I can refer a lawyer to you.

You can issue a Lawyer's letter first. If it doesn't work, you can go to the court.

Also, if this ever happens again,

you can just go straight up to the lawyer. You don't need to ask me.

I thought it will easier if I know a cop.

Alright, I got it.

I will use the law to protect myself.

And I order some wine considering what I have done?

No problem. Excuse me.

-A dozen of beer?- That will be enough.

2 dozens of beer!

Let me go to the bathroom

and save some space first.

Don't mind me.

Director Yang, with the photos and the

information about the Pharmaceutical Factory,

can we start the investigation now?

Gather the evidence.

You can report to Director Zhou tomorrow.

Yes.

Can you stop? I got dizzy.

Do you think he would disapprove of it?

Don't worry about that. Master will explain everything to him.

Master.

Director Yang, who was it?

Director Zhou agreed that we can continue.

Even though we already have the evidence, but it

requires coordination between different departments.

It will still take some time.

So we must keep quiet during the time.

No one shall leak the words.

Xia Yuan, do you know what to do?

I know. I am on it.

Two medium streaks.

No problem.

That's it.

May I go through it?

It's okay. Just bring them on.

No problem. I will be with you shortly.

Jianqiu, it's waste if we can't finish it.

Don't worry. I got this.

You didn't eat much at home.

You were embarrassed?

Jianqiu, I bought some Xingaoke's stock after you mentioned it.

It went up so fast. Should I get more?

Sure. It will be alright.

How is it going on with you and the landlord?

Don't rush. Mom and dad can keep living with us.

Sister, we have made a deal.

I need to clean it up first. I will pick them up when it's done.

Jianqiu, you are such a good daughter.

Little Zhao, let's have a drink while we talk.

Great.

It's spacious here.

This way.

How is it?

Was it designed by a foreign designer?

Indeed, good eye.

A french designer did it.

It's some kind of Neoclassicism style.

Classy.

Chief Wang, you not only do great in business,

you also have a great taste in life.

See this wine, I took it out and laid it down for a month.

And stood it up for a week.

Now it's the best time to taste it.

Chief Wang, I should do it.

You want something else

than drinking, right?

What else I can do for you?

♫ Danger, you escaped too far ♫

♫ You almost can't even hear my call ♫

♫ Lies have blinded both of my eyes ♫

♫ Pretending like you can't see the despair and the deeply hidden trepidation ♫

♫ Greed is the hand behind your back ♫

♫ Constantly pushing you to fall down the abyss ♫

♫ Go home, return to the past ♫

♫ Don't wait until you've lost everything before you yearn for it ♫

♫ The mountains are tall, the rivers are

long, doubting whether there is a path out ♫

♫ Stop living in confusion ♫

♫ In the enchanting spring scenery and the depths

of the clouds, there's a heart to return home ♫

♫ Face the future with sincerity, that's a happiness in itself ♫

♫ After all, in this life and this world ♫

♫ There'll be moments of sweetness and moments of bitterness ♫

♫ Broad skies ♫

♫ Broad seas ♫
