My Dear Guardian

Episode 30

Do you practise like this often?

Of course. It's my daily routine.

From the day I was kicked out of the operating room

by my supervisor for shoddy suturing.

Every day.

Mr Xia

Mr Xia

Dad.

I just saw the news.

Something bad happened to a doctor in your department.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Are you really fine or are you just pretending?

Don't keep the bad news to yourself.

I'm fine, really.

That's good to hear.

Are you off work?

Send me Liang Mu Ze's home address.

What are you going to do?

I'll wait for you there.

Pack up your stuff and bring them out.

You're coming back to Dong'an with me.

No way.

Why not?

Whatever I say goes.

Listen,

if you don't resign

and come back with me,

I'll visit your workplace every day.

And call your superior every day.

How can you do that?

You're being militant.

I'm an adult.

Even if you're 80 years old,

you're still my little girl.

I can't stand by and watch you jump into the fire.

Look here missy,

you'd better listen to me.

This is for your own good.

Did you hear what I said?

Can you give me some time?

I promise I'll

straighten things out at work.

Xia Chu.

Please, can you stop pressuring me?

Xia Chu.

Aren't you supposed to be sending Meng Zhen home?

I did.

I'm here to fetch you.

How did you know I was still at the hospital?

Call it a hunch.

Let's go home.

Are you going back to the camp?

Yes.

Do you know when you'll be redeployed?

Soon.

You should get inside.

Is something wrong?

I'm thinking of

transferring back to Dong'an.

Have you made up your mind?

Today was so tiring.

Not just physically,

but emotionally, too.

Dr Zhang is such a brilliant surgeon.

But from now on,

he'll never step into another operating theatre again.

He gave us

a hell of a pep talk today.

But still, I feel awful.

For a moment, I felt

what's so great about being a doctor?

Compared to spending time with our parents,

wearing a white coat

or a set of fatigues

means very little.

If that's how you feel,

then go for it.

But if you don't truly believe in it,

you shouldn't let anyone

influence your life decisions.

I really mean it.

Really.

Very well.

This is so conservative.

It doesn't look feminine at all.

I'm not going to wear this.

Sister-in-law, you're back.

I bought a bunch of stick-on tattoos online.

They're super realistic.

No bad guys will come near us now.

Let me tell you...

I'll show my brother

I can protect myself just fine

and he shouldn't be paranoid.

Going on a business trip?

No. I'm moving out.

Moving out?

Xia Chu is moving out. Come back, pronto.

Stop. Don't go.

Don't go.

Xiao Xue, calm down.

Mu Ze, she's going away!

She's going away!

Put the boxes back.

Liang Mu Ze,

those are my boxes.

Those are my luggage, Liang Mu Ze.

Let go of me, Liang Mu Ze.

Sick of white coats and fatigues, are you?

That's right.

Liar.

If you really are,

you wouldn't have given me that drivel.

You weren't sure

because this isn't what you want.

You said those words

not for me, but for yourself.

You were trying to convince yourself.

You decided to transfer and move back for no reason

other than your father coerced you over the phone.

You're avoiding the issue.

Xia Chu,

some things in life

you just have to face no matter how much it hurts.

This is such a thing.

There's no use running away.

You can avoid

the issue now, but what about the future?

You'll regret it, you know that?

I don't think so.

How dare you accuse me of running away?

I'm not trying to run away.

Quitting my job is my idea.

It's what I want.

It's how I honestly feel right now.

I'm an adult.

I know what I'm doing.

You don't have to lecture me.

I hate the way you label people

as if you know better.

Who are you to me?

Do you have the right to control me?

Who am I to you?

Who am I to you?

You're nobody to me!

Go back to your camp.

I don't want to see you again.

Let go!

Let go, Liang Mu Ze.

Let go!

Let go of me.

I can't take it anymore!

Break it up, you two!

Listen to yourselves.

It's like an idol drama.

Liang Mu Ze,

what are you babbling on for?

Just say, "Xia Chu, please don't go."

"I love you."

"I was a lazy bum"

"who wouldn't touch a broom"

"yet I learned to bake for you."

"Do you know why?"

"Because I love you!"

And you, Sister-in-law.

How can you be so oblivious?

Don't you love him, too?

It was in this very living room

that Liang Mu Ze kissed you

and sent you to seventh heaven.

There's no way you don't love him.

Do you two know what the odds

of finding true love in one's life are?

1 to 280,000!

The odds are nearly nil,

yet you two found each other.

Why can't you

cherish each other?

Why do you oldies

need a little girl like me to lecture you?

Be honest with yourselves, will you?

Stop finding excuses.

Be true to your love!

If you let this opportunity pass by,

you may never see each other again.

Is your dad still in Ningjiang?

Yes.

Take me to him.

Good luck.

That was hard work.

If it's ugly, so be it.

Wait, Liang Mu Ze.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Do you trust me?

I do.

If you trust me,

don't say a word

or do a thing.

Just follow me and I'll take care of it.

Dad.

Mr Xia.

Dad.

I'd like to chat with you.

Xia Chu likes being a doctor.

I know.

Changing careers, moving back,

those are her decisions.

But

if she hadn't been pressured,

she wouldn't have made those decisions.

What do you mean?

Are you saying

I'm pressuring her?

She gets a lot of pressure at work.

But most of it was from you.

Liang Mu Ze.

Nonsense.

Get out.

Dad.

Please get out now!

Dad, don't be like that.

Dad, don't.

Mr Xia,

all parents

want what's best for their children.

But seldom do they consider

what decisions

are truly the best for them.

Xia Chu brought me here today

so I could tell you

that when helping the sick and the dying,

she radiates happiness.

She's passionate about her job.

There's nothing with changing careers.

But now is not the time.

This is her first year as a resident doctor.

If she gives up this opportunity,

it would not be easy for her

to put on a white coat again.

If she quits

and goes home,

do you think she'll be happy?

This is all I have to say.

Get some rest. I'm off.

What was that about?

He thinks he can lecture me?

Did you see his attitude?

Dad.

I admit he was a little rude.

But he wasn't afraid to displease you

to speak up for me.

For that, I'm grateful.

Liang Mu Ze.

Did your dad disown you

because of what I said?

What are you saying?

My dad's not usually like that.

He's probably just a little paranoid

because of the explosion incident.

I understand.

Why don't you go back

and talk to him?

I want to follow you and your brigade.

I'm serious.

Xia Chu,

you don't really want to follow me.

You're just lost

because of Zhang Yi Chi's sudden departure.

You don't know what to do next.

All the things that are happening

and the pressure from your parents

are affecting your judgement.

What you need is rest.

Take a shower

and get a good night's sleep.

When you wake up and see the fatigues

and the white coat,

you'll be glad.

Glad that you're still able to wear it.

Really?

I've been through it.

When Luo Liang left,

I was more devastated than you are now.

I thought

you were going to say,

"Be with me, Xia Chu."

"I'll take care of you."

That's not the kind of love you want, Xia Chu.

I told you

I wouldn't let you down.

Let's be together.

Forever and always.

Let's be together.

Forever and always.

We're ready.

Let's go.

Got it. No problem.

Nine o'clock tonight.

We have a guest

at Ms Hua's Hot Pot Restaurant.

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

Do you have a cigarette?

I don't smoke.

Do you have a light?

What a big appetite you have.

Peng said

you'd treat me well.

Of course.

This is just an appetizer.

Then what's the main course?

I'll let you experience it when we get the chance.

Hai.

Long.

Dig in.

Hai?

Fei. Long time no see.

Long time no see.

Still alive, I see.

Watch your mouth.

What's the hurry? Sit down and eat with us.

No thanks.

I just got a message from Jiu.

He wants me to buy some barbecue for him.

I should get to it.

Jiu is out now?

Yes.

Haven't you heard?

We're having a celebration for him.

Want to join us?

Come on.

Let's go.

What do you say?

Do you want to experience it?

Let's drink!

Hai,

who is this?

A friend.

Long.

Nice to meet you, Jiu.

Are we shaking hands now?

Drink, drink!

Let's drink!

Come on!

Let's drink!

Come on.

Sit down and drink.

Drink, drink.

Hai and Jiu have been

hanging out together in the last couple of days.

They hired a bevy of girls.

On the surface,

it was a never-ending party.

In reality,

it was Jiu's high-end underground casino.

I heard

he's quite the high roller.

He's the real deal.

This is the middleman.

Jiu trusts him very much.

Let's meet him.

Long Yi.

Jiu's idea is,

money is no object

as long as it's the good stuff

and there's plenty of it.

No point going small,

am I right?

Jiu wouldn't like that.

Don't worry.

How much can you take?

How much do you have?

As much as you can take.

Level with me.

Does Jiu have the appetite for it?

You bet.

Jiu has a big appetite.

What do you say?

If it doesn't work for you,

that's okay.

We'll forget about the deal.

It's not like we need your business.

Right?

It's okay.

I'll be off.

Hey now.

Sit down, sit down.

What's the rush?

There's always room for negotiation.

We can work something out.

Tell you what.

Don't take this the wrong way,

but if you can't

make the call,

bring me someone

who can.

I fully represent the seller.

Long Yi,

do you take me for a fool?

Hello, Jiu.

Yes, we're in the middle of it.

Sounds good.

Okay.

Sure.

Bye, Jiu.

Jiu is going to Hawaii the day after.

So soon?

Things are getting hot.

Besides,

you're not the only ones selling.

Jiu can take his time.

Good beer.

See you.

Sit down.

He wants to see the owner of the goods?

That's right.

Jiu is very cautious.

He insisted on negotiating face to face.

Have you looked into his background?

We've checked Jiu and the middleman,

Hai.

They're clean.

"We?"

Long Yi is out.

Old Master.

I suppose you know what happened

in the organisation recently?

I do.

Did the Chinese Police give you a hard time?

No.

It was a standard interrogation.

They had no evidence,

and I kept my mouth shut.

You've just come out,

and already a buyer has contacted you.

How lucky for you.

They also have some cash that needs moving.

If you don't feel safe going,

I can deal with them.

No.

I'll do it myself.

When?

Before we decide on the distribution channel,

we must figure out the bait and switch.

The solution

to our problem is

Xia Guang Yuan and his research.

I know.

You do?

Then why haven't you succeeded yet?

Don't give me that line

about the explosion and some dead cop.

It's not enough.

Listen, Zhuo Ran.

I'll say this again.

I want Xia Guang Yuan.

If not him,

at least his daughter.

Somebody must pay for my loss.

Do you understand, Zhuo Ran?

I understand.

Listen,

don't keep me waiting for too long.

I won't.

This is the last time.

I'm serious.

I've already broken the law

by breaching the security system

and stealing the data.

If you want more detailed information,

there's nothing I can do.

It's not on his computer.

Then where is it?

You need to ask the professor.

Incidentally,

I was just thinking of inviting you and Professor Xia

to Isaia.

Where?

Isaia.

We have a lab and a manufacturing facility there

that can meet all of your needs.

An overseas lab?

I've never thought of that.

Now's the time to think about it.

What did the professor say?

I haven't asked him.

There's no way he'll go.

Then I hope you'll help me

deliver this invitation

to Professor Xia.

Whose invitation is this?

Yours.

At noon tomorrow,

your girlfriend and the entire research team

will receive an automatic email

describing in vivid detail

your arrest for solicitation of prostitution.

Zhuo Ran,

what do you want?

Of course,

if you can deliver this invitation

to Professor Xia

and persuade him to go to Isaia with you,

I guarantee

that provocative email

will never see the light of day.

When it's over,

you'll go back to being the upstanding Professor Tang.

The arguments you have

with your girlfriend over financial matters

will magically disappear.

Trust me.

I know.

You set this up.

It's all a ploy, isn't it?

I'd appreciate your cooperation,

Professor Tang.

No way.

I'm telling you,

I'll never betray my teacher.

Think.

Between being a successful traitor

and a failure that nobody wants,

which is worse?

Professor Xia,

take a look at this.

Half a month ago,

somebody transferred a sum of money

to your personal account.

Are you aware of that?

Who transferred it?

It's an overseas account.

Opened by a guy called Francis.

Does it ring any bells?

Not that I recall.

Overseas?

Could it be one of Xia Chu's friends?

Why do you bring her up?

Why would her friend give us money?

It's such a huge sum.

Why would Xia Chu

not tell us

and keep us in the dark?

As for the real identity of the account owner,

we'll look into it.

And

about your PhD student, Tang Lin,

and the email he received

from your personal email...

As I've said,

I didn't send that email.

I never use my personal email

for work-related matters.

Professor Xia,

simmer down.

We'll look

into this matter.

So far,

it seems your personal email

has been hacked.

The university

would like you

to hand over your research materials

to ensure the project's smooth progress

while you're under investigation.

Whose idea is this?

It was a collective decision by the university council.

Later on,

an accounting firm

will perform a proper audit

on the project's finances.

Are they so eager to get rid of me?

Professor Xia...

Ask Chairman Qin to come here right now!

I'll speak to him face to face.

What's all this fuss about an audit?

Are you after the hacker

or me, Xia Guang Yuan?

This is an outrage.

An outrage.

What are you waiting for?

Go!

Alright.

Professor Xia,

we shan't bother you, then.

Honey,

why don't you

hand the project over to them?

I can hand it over.

I can back out of it.

But I can't just leave.

Those who want me gone

don't really care

about my research.

I've had enough of you people.

Professor.

This is all my fault.

If I hadn't sent that email...

Right now, this whole thing

has gone way beyond

your email.

Some green-eyed monsters

are trying to ruin me.

What are you going to do about it?

If you ask me how to conduct research,

I'd have an answer.

But if you ask me how to deal with nasty people,

I'm stumped.

Take a seat.

Professor,

have you considered resigning

or changing jobs?

It's the same everywhere.

The biggest challenge to doing

research in China

isn't in the laboratory.

What about overseas?

There are many research institutions out there

that need someone with solid theoretical grounding

and extensive experience to lead their projects.

Even outside the laboratory,

you have a bright future.

When my mother passed away due to a terminal illness,

I swore I'd become

a traditional medicine researcher.

But at this age,

my career and my job

aren't just about personal interests.

I feel

I have other responsibilities.

So

even if I can't stay in the laboratory,

I won't venture overseas

as it's against my original intention of joining this field.

But don't worry.

I'll be in the front line,

making sure

you youngsters are not affected.

You're all good kids.

You shouldn't

get mixed up in these shenanigans.

Professor, actually I...

What?

I'm getting married.

You're getting married?

We're having a wedding in Isaia.

I'd like you

to be our witness.

This is so sudden.

This was a long time in the making.

I wanted to tell you,

but then,

the investigation happened,

and I couldn't bring it up.

My big day is just around the corner.

I hope

on this momentous occasion,

you can be

my witness.

Isaia is visa-free.

I've arranged the food and accommodation.

All you have to do is fly there

on the weekend.

Will you

be free?

This is wonderful news.

I'll be there.

Can you believe that Tang Lin?

Such an important thing as marriage,

and he's only just told you.

We don't even have time to prepare.

I'm not the best man.

What's there to prepare for?

Shouldn't you at least prepare a wedding gift?

I'll just give him money.

Young people nowadays have all kinds of crazy ideas.

Even if we take the trouble to pick out a gift,

they may not even like it.

Good point.

Professor Xia.

What do you think?

I'll look so dashing in that.

You wish.

I guess we can use a trip.

Think of it as a vacation.

But where is this Isaia?

How come I've never heard of it?

The wife's family chose it.

It has great views.

Are you sure you aren't coming?

I can't.

It's the old man's birthday.

Then

wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to skip his birthday?

Don't worry about it.

Birthdays come around every year.

But a wedding happens only once in a lifetime.

You're his teacher.

You should be there for him.

Call Xia Chu.

Ask her to keep you company.

Enough already.

Young people have their own plans.

She might not be

too happy to come back.

Whenever I think

of her and that military guy,

I get upset.

Why do you have an issue

with Liang Mu Ze?

He's Mu Min's son, after all.

So what if he is Mu Min's son?

You don't know him.

And you do?

How well do you know him?

I just don't get it.

Are you unhappy with him

or the fact that he's a soldier?

I just don't like him.

I don't like anything about him.

When I'm back,

I'll settle this matter

with Xia Chu.

You must stand on my side.

Stubborn old coot.

Honey,

I packed your suit in the luggage.

Remember to iron it

at the hotel before you wear it.

-Here, Tang Lin. -Got it.

Congratulations, Tang Lin.

Remind him

to measure his blood pressure and blood sugar at night.

Okay.

Professor,

my stomach hurts.

Let me use the bathroom.

Go. Hurry.

I'll wait for you here.

Okay.

We've landed.

Sorry.

No problem.

No problem.

Sir, may I see your passport, please?

What?

Sir, may I see your passport?

My friend...

Sir, where's your passport?

I'm waiting...

Sir, passport!

Please show us your passport!

Sir, please open it.

One step back.

-One step back. -Okay.

What's this?

This...

It's cocaine! Seize him!

What are you doing?

What do you want?

I have no idea.

Who does this belong to?

What do you want from me?

This isn't mine.

I have no idea.

Wait.

This may be

the biggest redeployment

in this time of peace.

Many brigades

are leaving

or are about to leave their familiar bases.

To put down their roots

in new territories.

To us, the Special Forces Brigade,

redeployment

isn't simply about moving.

Have these been sorted?

Yes, they have.

We must carry out the redeployment

as though we're in

an actual war.

Captain, shouldn't we wait for the Lieutenant?

No, move on.

Alright.

Xiao Xue may have gone to your camp to find Tian Yong.
