My Dear Guardian

Episode 28

He's the drug dealer's son.

I saw him when I was compiling the materials.

He resembles you.

You told me

you had no siblings.

But as you know,

we journalists

have wide open minds.

For the whole afternoon, I asked myself,

who was the man?

How is he related to you?

Perhaps

he was the reason you left without a word.

Or perhaps

it was merely a coincidence.

So it is you.

Zhuo Ran.

Uncle Rao.

You're awake.

Where's Xiao Xue?

She went to grab some breakfast.

Is Li Lei alright?

He's fine.

You may see him once you recover.

And the suspect?

Dead.

Take it easy.

You need rest.

Just lie down.

Dr Xia.

When can I get discharged?

You've suffered a serious concussion.

You need time to recuperate.

When you're ready to be discharged,

we'll let you know.

Be patient.

I have to go now.

I'll see you again.

Xiao Xue.

Rao's team has suffered no serious injuries.

But you should remind him to get more rest.

Got it.

One more thing.

What is it?

Ke Wei's family

would like to visit the injured policemen.

That's not necessary.

I know it's a lot to ask

at a time like this.

But I have a feeling

the explosion

wasn't simply the act of a youngster.

Perhaps

there's a deeper reason behind it.

What reason?

Ke Wei's screensaver

is a picture of a suicide victim

with the words, "The City of Desire."

The City of Desire?

Are you sure?

I've seen that picture.

Does "The City of Desire"

bear any significance?

Do you remember the assassin

who went after us last time?

His smartphone

had a picture of a dead body, too.

And the words, "The City of Desire."

The City of Desire is

a dark and unfathomable world.

How did you know?

Does your wound

have something to do with him?

Maybe.

Is it done?

Does it happen very often?

Not too often.

About as often as violence against doctors.

Given our predicaments,

it'd be difficult

for us to be together.

We'll only know if we try.

Have you said that

to your language instructor?

No.

What about the nurses at Isaia?

I'm going to see Rao Zhi.

It's not just the two of them, is it?

I only say that to you, Da Miao.

Dr Xia...

Dad?

What brings you here?

Hi, Mr Xia.

What's the matter?

Can't I visit you?

No.

I'd like to speak with my daughter.

Go right ahead. I was just about to leave.

Are you going to just stand there?

I'm worried you might not want to see me.

Come here.

What did you get?

Sweet soy milk,

vegetarian noodles,

chicken potstickers,

and cold shredded potato.

That's a lot of food.

They're all your favourites.

You remembered.

I didn't.

I asked my mum.

She knows I'm injured?

Good.

What do you mean "good?"

It's not good at all.

I told my mum

I was getting all these goodies

to fatten you up

like a pig.

So you can't be a cop anymore.

That's so mean.

But

after I told that lie,

I realised something.

What did you realise?

I realised

why you wouldn't let me be with you.

Why you always tried to get rid of me

and told people I wasn't your daughter.

But it seems

you don't hate me all that much.

So are you going to listen to me this time?

Never.

Xiao Xue.

By the way,

I finished the portrait

and gave it to your colleague.

That night,

I walked along the highway by the coast.

When I entered the tunnel,

I saw a man driving past.

Did he see you?

No.

The tunnel was pitch black.

What happened next?

Then I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I was already in the ER.

A man named Zhuo Ran brought me there.

He's Xia Chu's first boyfriend.

You know that, don't you?

As for what happened between

the tunnel and the ER,

I haven't the slightest impression.

Around what time was it?

I mean

when you saw the man in the tunnel.

Nine.

I was listening to a music station.

There was a time announcement.

Nine o'clock.

A man.

Zhuo Ran.

The suspect

has a history of substance abuse in the public.

During his rehabilitation,

he would often

log in to the City of Desire,

exposing himself to the temptation of drugs.

He received

a list of instructions for a game.

The instructions

are linked to the explosion.

The man who gave the instructions

is none other than the elusive

Scary Pirate.

The only person

who may have had dealings

with the Scary Pirate

is the drug dealer

who transacted with him in Yunshan Tunnel.

According to the sketch provided by witnesses,

we've ascertained

the suspect's identity.

Well?

I am

of some use to you, aren't I?

To me,

you're more than just a useful companion.

Xiao Xue,

go back to the US.

I don't want to.

I want to stay by your side

at least until you've fully recovered.

What are you writing?

How's your dad?

He's fine.

Good.

Are you

writing a love letter for me?

No.

Liang Mu Ze.

Where did you get this?

I met a woman,

an ex-accountant

who is now a transplant coordinator.

She was talking about

the importance of organ donation.

So I got a copy from her.

Are you going to donate your organs?

Ever since my near-fatal experience

with the gunshot wound,

I've been thinking about it.

You were shot before?

Here.

Xiao Xue.

Xiao Xue.

Xiao Xue.

Xiao Xue, don't...

Let me hear

what your heart

has to say.

People are looking.

This is embarrassing.

I get it now.

Your heart told me everything.

It knows you're accustomed to being alone

and watching "Aberdeen"

and it's all for it.

Send me to the subway station.

The Captain isn't around.

I can't leave my post.

Sorry.

You may go.

Captain.

Don't go home.

Come to the guest house

and have a good night's sleep.

Send her to the subway.

Okay.

Go on.

Thanks, Captain.

You came here just for this?

Do you think it's a small matter?

It's no big deal, really.

See?

I'm still alive and well.

Rest assured.

I can't.

The explosion incident aside,

you should count your lucky stars that you're still alive.

When I heard you were

fooling around with that military guy,

a hundred fears came to my mind.

Dad,

how can you say that?

What do you mean "fooling around?"

Liang Mu Ze is

an upright soldier.

During my stay at his house,

he treated me with the utmost respect.

And we're getting along happily.

Honey,

that's just a man's trick.

If he doesn't throw you a bone,

how can he trick you into becoming his girlfriend?

We've been over this.

I only pretended to be his girlfriend

to appease his mother.

Wait...

That's even more absurd.

Why is he using my daughter

to appease his mother?

You call that respect?

Happily, you say?

I think,

just like me,

you've let all the studying mess you up.

I can't speak for you,

but I'm sure I'm not messed up.

I know better than anyone

what kind of person Liang Mu Ze is.

I admit I've mishandled

the whole girlfriend charade.

But

now,

I'm seriously considering

becoming his girlfriend for real.

Do you dare?

We're both single adults. What's there to be afraid of?

You...

Change careers.

What?

I want you to change careers and come back to Dong'an with me.

Is this a joke?

I'm not joking.

You encouraged me to study medicine.

You encouraged me to come to Ningjiang.

You encouraged me

to see the world.

Now look what happened.

The daughter I worked so hard to raise

is going to become a wife of a soldier

and a slave to his lifestyle.

I won't.

If you choose Liang Mu Ze,

that will be your future.

You'll be wasting your life!

Then

why can't I be selfish

and keep you by my side?

At least I can

give you a peaceful life

and you won't have to live in fear with him.

I have work to do.

Dad,

let's talk

later.

I'm off.

Goodbye.

Can't you send me to the camp?

The Captain only let me send you to the subway station.

It's not like he'll know.

But I do.

Can't you pretend you don't know?

I can't.

Bullheaded fool.

What did you say?

I said you're bullheaded.

What are you doing here?

The Captain said I could send you to the subway station.

But he didn't say whether it's the starting station

or the destination station.

What are you, my chauffeur?

♫ Your expression popped up on my mind ♫

♫ I learn to face the music instead of evading it ♫

♫ Remembering your interests, getting closer to you ♫

♫ If I can't predict the future, I'll leave it up to fate ♫

♫ I can't remember when I fell in love with you ♫

♫ I am afraid that I might lose you one day ♫

Hold tight.

♫ Every minute, every second, how do I resist? ♫

By the way, I have something for you.

♫ I can't help but look forward to your return ♫

♫ Replaying the moment I fell in love ♫

You gave me an hourglass,

so I'm giving you a watch.

This way, we'll

live in each other's pockets.

Do you like it?

♫ Remembering your interests, getting closer to you ♫

♫ If I can't predict the future, I'll leave it up to fate ♫

Was it expensive?

♫ I can't remember when I fell in love with you ♫

♫ I am afraid that I might lose you one day ♫

Not as valuable as the love you gave me.

♫ Every minute, every second, how do I resist? ♫

Thank you.

♫ I can't help but look forward to your return ♫

Let's take a photo.

Right here?

Yes.

♫ Replaying the moment I fell in love ♫

Or do you want to go to the City Affairs Bureau?

That's not I mean. I...

I mean, isn't it

a little crowded here?

You're too self-conscious.

Everyone's looking at their phones.

No one cares about you.

♫ I am afraid that I might lose you one day ♫

♫ Every minute, every second, how do I resist? ♫

♫ I can't help but look forward to your return ♫

♫ Replaying the moment I fell in love ♫

Do a blood test first.

Come back to me

once you have the results.

Thanks, doctor.

You're welcome.

Next.

What seems to be the problem?

I have a heart ache.

What are you doing here?

What do you mean?

I got a number.

I can't see my daughter

and I can't see a doctor?

After such a dire experience,

if he really loves you,

he should

try to get recalled.

Instead of making you

endure danger here.

I'm not staying here

because of him

but for my job.

Think,

what has he ever done for you

while you were together?

What about you?

You've been married to mum for so many years.

What have you done for her?

If women were rational,

all men would be single forever.

I treat your mum just fine.

This is the EICU. No entry.

Emergency Intensive Care Unit

Honey.

Honey.

Sub by iQiyi & Ripped by skysoultan ♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔

I'll send you the photo once I've cleaned it up.

No need to.

All I did was kiss you.

Don't be mad.

I'm not mad.

Then I'll kiss you again and see.

Xiao Xue.

Knock it off.

I'm just pulling your leg. Come on.

Do you remember the way home?

Sure.

Get off at the third bus stop, take a rickshaw,

walk for around ten minutes,

and I should be there by sundown.

Why don't I give you a ride?

Lieutenant, you're the best!

Let's go.

You walk in front.

I'll follow behind you.

Okay.

♫ All I need ♫

♫ Is a plain old hug ♫

♫ But I am too shy ♫

♫ I hide behind formalities ♫

♫ Politely greeting you in my soft voice ♫

♫ I wave goodbye, trying to run away ♫

♫ I can't avoid it, it wraps around me like the wind ♫

I have a gift for you.

A gift? What kind of gift?

But I'm afraid you might scoff at it.

Fret not, I'll definitely scoff at it.

So just let me see it.

What's this?

Last time, you said the heart protector was too ugly.

I got some Dyneema

from an old army friend

who works at a defence manufacturer

and made a bulletproof vest for you.

Is the look

acceptable for you?

No.

Xiao Xue.

This is made from the most advanced bulletproof material in the world.

It's incredibly light

and soft.

Of course, on such short notice,

the workmanship may be a little sloppy.

But I hope you'll accept it.

Stop laughing.

You must wear it when you go out.

Promise me

you'll wear it when you go out, okay?

That way,

Officer Rao can have peace of mind.

Is that the only reason?

Don't move!

What's that sound?

Stay here.

Tian Yong!

Don't move!

Stand right there!

Tian Yong!

What happened to you?

Wake up, Tian Yong.

Wake up, wake up.

I'm okay.

You gave me such a fright.

I wasn't lying.

It is handy.

But it's so ugly.

It's alright.

Just relax.

Relax, take a deep breath.

Come on, breathe in.

Relax. Everything's alright.

What's the situation?

The pregnant lady is having a severe haemorrhage due to trauma.

She had five years of substance abuse,

one ectopic pregnancy,

two successful labours.

This is her third pregnancy,

but we've lost the baby's heartbeat.

Ask the anaesthesiologist and the Neonatology Department

to prepare for surgery.

Leave it to me.

Okay.

Dr Xia.

Coming through! Please move aside.

Can you hear me?

If you can,

grab my hand.

Set up the blood transfusion.

Ask Orthopaedics, General Surgery,

and ICU for a treatment plan.

And call Dr Song.

Okay.

Ye Feng's family?

That's us.

Foot the bill.

Doctor,

how's his condition?

Don't worry,

we'll do our best to save him.

Captain.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Xiao Xue is back at the camp.

I know.

She phoned me.

What about Boss?

He's inside.

What are they discussing?

I don't know.

Liang Mu Ze

comes from a long line of soldiers.

He certainly has the discipline of a military man.

Not only was he trained

in the Hunter Military School in Isaia,

he was

one of the top scorers among the fourteen

who graduated.

As Commandos Team Thunder's captain,

he has extensive experience

on the battlefield.

To be honest,

I'd like to have

someone who's as capable as him

but less conspicuous.

This officer named Tian Yong,

why are his place of birth and family details

unspecified?

He's an orphan.

He'll be discharged this year.

The paperwork is underway.

What happened to the pregnant woman?

She's in the ER.

She's well into her term.

Tian Yong.

I...

I feel I could've stopped her...

She was bleeding badly.

What if

she gives birth prematurely?

She's a drug dealer.

She shot at you.

You did nothing wrong.

If it weren't for you,

it'd be Xiao Xue

who's in the operating room right now.

I understand.

I'm just worried about her baby.

Whether it'll

see its mother

when it comes out.

I can't take it.

Lieutenant Tian.

Here.

Please come in.

Yes.

General Conference Room

Chief.

That was a good showing today.

Sir,

I was merely helping a fellow law enforcer

on the arrest.

Do you know who you arrested?

His name is Li Zhi Peng.

In name,

he's the owner of a youth hostel.

But behind the curtain,

he's a drug dealer.

Do you still remember

the mission at the bar?

I do.

Both parties did not show up for the deal

and the mission was called off.

Wrong.

They completed their transaction

in Yunshan Tunnel instead.

One of the parties was Li Zhi Peng.

The other party, whom he had contacted online,

goes by the online ID

of Scary Pirate.

Ever heard of the City of Desire?

It's the biggest

online drug trading platform.

Director,

Tian Yong seldom uses the internet,

let alone the dark web.

So are you familiar with the Old Master?

Who is that?

Remember the villagers

you captured at the border

with the Border Armed Police?

According to them,

they were coerced into drug trafficking

by someone

called Old Master.

I don't know him.

Nobody knows who he is.

The man

is highly elusive.

His power spreads across Southeast Asia.

He's now

the true leader of the

international mercenary group, T4.

Explosives.

Drugs.

Human

and organ trafficking.

If there's money in it,

they'd do it.

They've become a cancer

upon the border.

Three months ago,

we arrested a drug dealer.

His name was Liu Zheng Min.

And it's all

related to the Scary Pirate?

That's right.

We've been

having trouble figuring out

the Scary Pirate's real identity.

But recently,

one of the Old Master's henchmen

approached the police

and offered to become an informant.

Is Old Master the Scary Pirate?

We're still verifying it.

We're going to use

Li Zhi Peng, whom we've captured today,

to contact the Scary Pirate

through the City of Desire,

and tell him

we have a huge amount of cash

that we need moving.

Then?

Then once the target takes the bait,

you'll be their point of contact.

Me?

Yes.

They need someone

with the single combat skills and field experience

of a special forces soldier

yet do not belong

to the police force.

And my mission is?

Your mission is

to find evidence

that can prove the Scary Pirate's real identity.

At the same time,

find out the Old Master's whereabouts.

Tian Yong,

any questions?

Feel free to ask.

Chief,

are they the culprits

behind today's incident?

In a certain way,

yes.

I have no other questions.

You must not fail!

Captain,

has Rao Feng come to?

He has.

Take me to him.

What about Tian Yong?

Tian Yong stays here.

He has a new mission.

Alright.

Why did they release me?

They don't have

solid evidence of your crime.

Besides, you're a foreign citizen.

Did you think they were

going to keep you for the New Year?

Even though I'm free,

it doesn't mean I'm safe.

I'm guessing

they'll be watching me 24-7.

We've received the order

to form

a joint task force with your police department.

The idea

is to cast a wide net,

so we can catch him and the mastermind

in one go.

I'll ask my informants

to give their full support.

Good.

Relax.

We've been under their surveillance

for a couple of days now

and we're perfectly fine.

Any news from Old Master?

Do you know

what happened while you were in

the Public Security Bureau?

Somebody blew up

Liang Mu Ze's neighbourhood.

The Old Master ordered it

despite knowing you were there.

What are you getting at?

Of course, he did it

to get back at the police for taking his goods.

He doesn't need to care

about the consequences

of ruffling the police's feathers.

After all,

he's abroad.

And to him,

your life

isn't worth a penny.

Guess

what the police

are going to do next?

I'm not going to guess.

And you can stop

trying to turn me against Old Master.

Do you think I'm stupid?

When I joined Old Master,

you were just a little baby.

Let me tell you,

if Old Master finds out

what you're doing behind his back,

you're dead meat.

Rescue Room

Why don't I book a flight

back to Dong'an for you?

No.

Are you okay with

leaving Miss Lan alone at home?

Your grandma and grandpa are there.

They'll keep her company.

Listen here,

you can't come to Ningjiang and ruin my day

just to avoid Grandpa, can you?

Why would I avoid him?

It's my house.

Sure, it's your house.

What about your department?

And your project?

You're always here with me.

Don't you have work?

Who do you think I'm doing this for?

Look,

this is about you.

Don't talk about me.

Let me tell you,

ever since you were little,

I've fulfilled every promise

I've made to you, haven't I?

So today, you must promise

to quit right now and move back

to Dong'an.

I will not allow you to see Liang Mu Ze.

Hey,

what's gotten into you?

Are you having difficulties?

Why are you so stubborn?

Because we're old

and we can't have anything happen to you!

I'll go back to the hotel.

We'll talk when you're off work.

Dad...

Dr Zhang.

Xia Chu.

What happened to the pregnant woman

who lost her baby's pulse yesterday?

The caesarean caused too much bleeding.

The mother passed away,

leaving behind a pair of twins.

Twins?

Yes.

And they're adorable.

But they're showing signs

of neonatal withdrawal syndrome.

We're keeping them in an incubator

and giving them intensive care

and withdrawal treatment.

You may visit them when you're free.

Alright.

I know.

Don't worry.

I've taken the immunoglobulin shot.

Once the results are out,

I'll let you know.

I have work to do.

I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

Xia Chu?

What happened?

The other day

we were operating on Ke Wei.

Turned out

that he had Hepatitis B.

He was writhing about during the surgery,

so we went up and held him down.

His blood was everywhere

and we were close to his body.

Did you get tested?

I had my blood taken.

But the doctor at the Pathology Department said

even if it turns out negative,

we can't be 100 percent sure.

I have to get tested a few more times.

I was on the phone with my parents.

I couldn't hold it anymore

and told them everything.

But after I did,

I really wish I hadn't.

Ever since I went to university,

I haven't done a thing for my family.

If I'm infected,

what will become of them?

Actually, it could be worse.

After all, during the surgery,

I didn't contact the wound directly.

It's mainly psychological damage.

But poor Dr Zhang,

he was the one who conducted the surgery.

And

I think he pricked his fingers with the haemostatic forceps.

What happened to him?

Nothing serious.

But he's always in the operating room or by the patient's bed.

He's been seeing more patients than usual.

We're really worried

that he might break down.
