[Episode 38]

Let's hurry.

Hurry!

Hurry!

Hold on.

Here. Let's go.

Hurry!

Slow down.

Hurry.

Retreat.

I'll do it. Let go.

[Shao Nan, we've handled him.]

[We've cleaned up the blood.]

[We got the bullet shell too.]

Okay.

Tonight, we're drinking

to make Mu Qing feel better.

Come on, one more.

Bottoms up.

We've gotten through this round.

But Spectre is coming.

Between us and Glasses,

there's going to be a fight.

I hope that the three of us

can work together.

From now on,

I'll have two strategists.

To both of you.

Here.

Cheers.

You have to drink another one.

You have to drink alone.

I'm making a toast

to my new female strategist.

You drink up. I won't.

Kexin and Li Ruosheng were both there?

How did the words get out?

When they were getting the police officer,

Li Ruosheng showed up.

It really was a coincidence.

So...

Kexin was there when that officer died?

Yes.

I'm sorry, sir.

I didn't have it under control.

I'll accept my punishment.

She got involved in the business

and saw blood.

Kexin has basically entered our business.

Forget it.

I'll talk to her again.

I think

it's time for you to work

with the two of them.

Say what you want to say.

Sir.

I think

although Mu Qing has proved his loyalty,

his behavior at the scene

still makes me suspicious.

Besides,

we never caught the mole.

I'll have to look into it.

[They've made Mu Qing prove his loyalty.]

But Ou Zhenhai won't stop

until he catches the mole.

Since Mr. Ou is so obsessed with the mole,

we might as well give him one.

It seems you've prepared for it.

That's right.

Take a look, Director Liu.

His name is Zhou Kang,

also known as Bull.

He has worked for Glasses for two years.

He usually keeps a low profile.

Why did you choose him?

I've checked everyone in Group K.

Not many know how the group operate

or close to one of the Four Vajras.

This guy called Zhou Kang

has to be a perfect choice.

But he's Glasses's guy.

That's the point.

Making him the mole

will make Glasses embarrass himself

in front of Mr. Ou.

Everything that happened to Yuanwen

was his fault after all.

Okay.

Let's go with your plan.

-Don't move! -Freeze!

Stop right there!

Don't move!

Get off the bed.

It's okay now.

Come on.

Mr. Glasses, we're in trouble.

Bull was arrested.

When?

Earlier tonight.

I couldn't reach him two days ago.

So I sent two guys to look for him.

I found out he was taken by the police.

Later on, we found this on his bed.

What do you mean?

They checked his phone records.

There is a number in there.

They spoke quite often.

Two days before Guanyin's arrest,

he made a lot of calls

to this number as well.

They called the number,

but the other guy didn't speak.

But we heard sirens in the background.

Then they hung up.

That means

it must be the police.

In that case,

could Bull be an undercover agent?

He could be the mole.

Then everything makes sense.

If he's an undercover agent,

why would the police arrest him?

That's right.

So he can't be an undercover agent.

He might be an informant.

If he was an undercover agent,

we would've been arrested.

It's fine.

He doesn't know a lot.

Keep your eyes on him.

If he's released,

make him disappear for good.

I understand.

What about Mu Qing?

Keep watching him.

And don't tell anyone

about this.

Yes.

Have a seat.

It's this dish again. Let's have peace.

Let's have a toast first.

This is good wine.

Sir.

You certainly prepared

a fine bottle of alcohol.

You have good taste.

Guess what it is.

I tasted the flavor.

It's very aromatic.

There must be something else in it.

It's certainly not on the market.

I'm sorry.

I still can't figure it out.

What about you two?

I...

Godfather, they all taste the same to me.

I'll drink it as long as it's good.

What about you, Mu Qing?

Although I don't know what brand it is,

I think

it should be called "Harmony."

"Harmony"?

Sitting here and having a meal with you

is already my pleasure.

Of course.

Mr. Glasses is very forgiving

and Ruosheng helped me a lot.

But most importantly,

it's because Mr. Ou chose to trust me.

It's all about harmony.

Harmony brings wealth.

Well said.

What Mu Qing said really touched my heart.

Harmony brings wealth.

I'm sure everyone feels the same way.

Cheers.

Drink up.

Mu Qing.

Suspecting you and hurting you

was never personal.

That was for the safety of the group.

You need to understand Glasses.

Of course I understand.

Mr. Glasses is a senior in the group.

His strategy and experience

are for us youngsters to learn from.

Mr. Glasses.

Please continue

to take care of us from now on.

We take care of each other.

Cheers.

We toasted and drank.

We're still brothers.

No one should be holding grudges.

Of course.

If Mr. Ou says so,

we'll do our best from now on.

Am I right, you two?

Mr. Glasses is right.

Godfather.

Mu Qing is back now

and he has proved his loyalty.

I hope

that we can get back

to contribute to the group soon.

But lately, I feel like

we don't have the tool for it.

Just say whatever you have in mind.

It's nothing.

Our only hope is to get back

the dark web system.

What do you think?

I think

Mu Qing went missing for a month

and hadn't been in the group,

so he might not be able

to handle our current business.

But all of this is up to you, sir.

Mu Qing.

Logically speaking,

the dark web system

was created by you and Ruosheng.

You're back now.

The dark web system should be yours again.

But Glasses has a point.

You left the group for a month.

Whether you can still handle the business

is also my concern.

Sir.

The dark web system doesn't belong to me,

Ruosheng, or Mr. Glasses.

It belongs to the group.

Supposedly,

whoever is in charge of the dark web

makes money for the group.

But I heard about it yesterday.

In the past month,

the trading volume in our dark web system

dropped by more than 30%.

-Sir. -Hold on.

Is that true?

Yes.

It's like this.

It's very risky now.

Our old customers

are either arrested or on the run.

Our current trading volume

is pretty decent.

I also heard

that just over the border,

people are also using the dark web

for their business.

And they're getting better at it.

Mr. Glasses.

The whole country is fighting against drugs.

Why is our volume dropping so badly,

while they're doing just fine

at the border?

Mu Qing.

It is Mr. Ou

who lays the groundwork for our business.

It's not for you to judge.

That's enough.

Mu Qing is right.

The group's business is our business.

I'll let the thing about the dark web go.

Don't feel too much pressure.

How about this?

I'll return

the dark web system to you two.

Do whatever it takes.

Bring the trading volume up.

But there's one thing.

Glasses is still in charge

of the accounting.

He'll brief me.

Is there a problem?

-No, sir. -No problem.

Spectre will come to Yungang soon.

I don't want another unwanted accident.

The three of you must work together.

Otherwise, I won't go easy on you.

Godfather, don't worry.

Don't worry, sir.

Okay.

Let's move on.

Let's have another glass and eat.

Here.

Try the fish first.

Let's enjoy the peace.

Let's eat.

After you.

What's wrong?

You've been quiet for half a day.

You're still upset, aren't you?

Don't worry.

If it's yours, it's still yours.

I asked you to stay

to tell you something important.

What is it?

I got a call from Spectre this morning.

Spectre isn't coming to Yungang,

but one of his men will.

His name is Zhou Changhao.

Zhou Changhao?

[He's Spectre's right-hand man.]

[He also helped Spectre]

[develop the new drug.]

[This time, he's here to test us.]

He's already in Yungang.

If he's already here,

why didn't he contact us?

Don't be nervous.

Currently, Spectre is wanted

by every country in the world.

He has to be careful.

Besides,

he's here to check on us.

He arrived earlier and didn't tell us

so he could catch us off guard

and we wouldn't have time to prepare.

But...

investigating from outside the group

is not that easy.

I think in three days,

he will contact me.

But three of our four Vajras

have fallen in the past months.

If Zhou Changhao finds out,

I'm worried that...

What happened

to Dakun, Congtou, and Tieguanyin

is our group matter after all.

If you can get the sales up,

no matter who the Vajras are

or how many there are,

I don't think Spectre will care.

That's why

I'm counting on you for the next few days.

You, Ruosheng, and Mu Qing should discuss.

See if they can find more buyers

on the dark web.

Fix the things that have been delayed

as soon as possible.

I understand.

I'm on it.

We just got the dark web back

and Glasses asked us to find buyers.

Why is he in such a hurry?

I also find it strange.

I've never seen Glasses being so nervous.

It must be about what you said during the meal.

You said the dark web wasn't doing well.

It didn't do well

when Glasses was in charge.

What does it have to do with us?

It didn't matter before.

But we've taken over it again.

We must handle all the problems ourselves.

We're cleaning up for him.

Mr. Ou treated us today.

Obviously, he wants us

to make peace with Glasses.

Then Glasses asked us

to do the accounting better.

Do you think

Spectre is already in Yungang?

I'm not sure.

If Spectre is really here

and Glasses didn't tell us,

there's only one possibility.

He doesn't want us to make contact with Spectre.

That's right.

So how can we figure out

whether Spectre is in town or not?

Let's try something first.

Do you remember my hacker friend?

The "old guy"?

It's "old man."

Right, "old man."

I can ask them to help us

find some retail buyers.

They'll have a discount,

but this can solve our problem.

What about the money?

We'll just

have to bleed a little.

Hold on.

You mean

we'll use these fake buyers

and our own money

to buy our own goods?

Is that what you mean?

That would mean

we'll be giving Glasses our money.

We're not giving it to Glasses for free.

We'll be using Glasses

to gain Mr. Ou's trust.

It will help us meet Spectre.

No, I don't agree with this.

Are you afraid of losing money?

We'll lose a lot.

Maybe we'll go bankrupt

before we even get to meet Spectre.

How would this make you go bankrupt?

I'll return to you

twice the amount of money you put in.

What do you think?

What's the guarantee?

Fine.

I'll put in my money.

I think you're right.

Mr. Glasses increases the trading volume

at this moment.

Why now?

It's most likely

because Spectre is coming.

Then...

You keep dealing with Glasses.

I'll go back to Mr. Ou's house later

and test him more.

Okay, let's do that.

But you must be careful.

You've just returned to Group K.

If Glasses holds grudges,

I'm afraid he'll get in your way.

Don't you trust me?

I don't trust Glasses.

If I can't even handle Glasses,

how can I stay and help you?

Just wait and see.

I'll get going.

Captain Rong, there's a situation!

What's wrong?

The agent asked for fake buyers.

Grant it.

-Yes. -Notify all police stations.

Have them distribute the drugs.

Okay.

Come on.

Hurry up and be careful.

Hurry up.

You guys.

Come on.

Be careful.

What is this?

Take a look, Mr. Glasses.

This is from Wuyi Mountain's tea farmer.

I just bought it.

Da Hong Pao from the bottom of the box.

Mu Qing.

You managed to buy something so nice.

You're really sincere.

Mr. Glasses.

Before this at Mr. Ou's dining table,

I didn't do you any good.

It's because I was holding a grudge.

But after thinking about it,

I put myself in your shoes.

If I were you,

I would have done the same thing.

It's all for the safety of the group.

That's why

I think I should apologize to you.

Ruosheng told me that you like tea.

So I brought this little gift.

It's not that good.

I'll get something better for you.

You're too kind.

-Hurry. -A few days ago,

Mr. Ou talked to me.

We're in the same group.

We work together under the same roof.

So...

I need to forget about the past

and let go of my pride.

Let's stop dwelling on the past

and stop fighting with each other.

Mu Qing, I'll be honest.

If you hadn't come,

I would've gone to see you anyway.

Mr. Glasses, I can't let you come to me.

From now on, I'll bring you tea every day.

Okay.

Thank you for the tea.

Go.

Go.

Mu Qing, you're really something.

You found so many buyers

in such a short time.

I realize that I'm old.

I can't compete with young ones like you.

Mr. Glasses.

If you weren't a reliable supplier,

no matter how many clients I found,

the goods wouldn't get to leave Yungang.

Don't flatter me.

Tell me.

How did you get so many clients?

I have my own connections.

And my connections

have their connections too.

It's just a net.

Likewise, relationships are like a net.

If we can pick up the corners,

then we'll have the whole net.

So you're a fisherman?

You could say that.

Mu Qing.

This time,

you've done me a huge favor.

I always repay kindness with kindness.

If anything happens in the future,

you can come to me.

Mr. Glasses.

I don't need anything from you.

But...

I heard that Spectre

is coming in a few days.

We heard you and Mr. Ou

talk about Spectre a lot.

I idolized him.

I wonder if we can have a chance

to meet him?

Spectre isn't coming this time.

He sent one of his men.

Their purpose is to test us out.

Does Spectre always do that?

You don't need to know about this matter.

Just do your job,

and I'll do mine.

After we're done with this,

we'll have the great tea that you gave me.

Okay, Mr. Glasses.

It's a deal.

Why are you asking about Spectre?

I'm just asking.

Why are you overreacting?

It's not for you to ask.

You've been talking about him.

Why can't I ask?

Besides, I've been involved

with the group's business.

The customers support me a lot.

I've helped you quite a lot too.

So...

For such a big deal,

I feel like I should be a part of it.

Instead of a peaceful life,

why are you choosing this?

I'm telling you.

If you mention Spectre again,

I'll send you abroad right away.

"Send you abroad."

You always say that.

If you really send me away,

Li Ruosheng and Mu Qing

will be bullied by Mr. Glasses.

Besides,

two people are more powerful than one.

I can give you a hand if I stay with you.

What's wrong with you?

Don't you understand what I said?

Fine.

I'll stop asking if you want me to.

You don't have to be so mad.

Three lines in the middle

and three lines on top.

You're turning into a tiger.

You'll get wrinkles

if you keep getting mad.

All right, don't be mad.

As long as you don't send me abroad,

I'll be a good daughter.

I won't ask anything.

-You're still ignoring me? -Fine.

I spent so much money.

But I can't even meet

Spectre's minion in the end.

Mu Qing, this is on you.

You have to pay me back.

Okay, I'll pay you back.

Let's check.

Do I have anything valuable?

My body parts or organs.

Cut them off and sell them.

Aren't you ashamed?

You really overestimate yourself.

All of your organs combined

and your prostate,

how much can you sell them for?

Only Kexin finds you valuable.

Why are you so smug?

Kexin.

Come and take a look. He's for sale.

How much can you give me?

I'll take anything.

You're so noisy.

I'm telling you.

Qingqing is mine all along.

Who said you could sell him?

Have some fruit.

I want some too.

Get it yourself.

But I thought about it.

We have to find a way.

When I went to see my dad,

he was tight-lipped.

He wouldn't even say a word.

I'm guessing

that he and Glasses

want to see Spectre's man.

And they decided that

they won't let us meet him.

Godfather can meet with Spectre.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But why take Glasses with him?

If Glasses meets Spectre's man,

he'll be able to fly.

You don't want Glasses to go.

Can you stop him?

I can't.

But we can't sit by and let him.

Here.

I'm troubled here.

Stop showing off your affection here.

You should leave.

Go back to your house. Go on.

-Go back. -Why are you making us leave?

-Go. -Do you think we want to stay here?

-What is that attitude? -Go home and be lovey-dovey.

You're so petty.

Clean it up yourself.

You cheapskate.

Let's go.

What Ruosheng said reminded me

that if we can't go easy on him,

then we should do it the hard way.

Tackle him from the base, right?

That's right.

To Glasses,

the problem is his customers.

Through the dark web,

you and Rong Yao

have given him enough customers.

But now,

if we remove the base for his entire work,

which is his factories,

then it might be a huge problem for him

to keep his business running.

I agree with you.

But Glasses's new factories

are more discreet.

If we send the police in,

he'll suspect that there's a mole.

That's why we can't do this

from the inside.

We have to do it from the outside.

How do we do that?

Do you remember

that traffic officer

from my loyalty test last time?

No.

Next.

No.

Next.

Did you see it clearly?

No.

No.

Pass.

Pass.

Pass.

Stop.

That's him.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I thought if I hid for a while,

this would blow over.

I never thought

you would still catch me.

All right.

I admit

that I transport goods for Group K.

Officers.

I want to redeem myself.

I'll make a deal.

That's for the best.

You need to tell us now.

Where does Group K produce the drugs?

I know that place.

I used to transport ephedra to Glasses.

Yes, it was shipped there.

Where is it?

Don't move!

Don't move!

Are you the drug cook?

Take him away.

Let's go. Hurry!

Slow down.

The factory has been busted?

What happened?

Xu was captured

and he gave up the location?

Okay, I get it.

What is it, Mu Qing?

Mr. Glasses.

Our clients in the dark web

are asking us to ship the goods.

You have to think.

[Don't we still have some left?]

We got a large order.

The stash was already sent away.

[If there were any left,]

[why would I look for you so urgently?]

[Mr. Glasses.]

[You are in charge of production.]

[I'm the one contacting the clients.]

[I'm the one being pressured.]

You have to be considerate of me.

You asked for a lot last time

and I did overtime just for you.

Wasn't that considerate enough?

Tell them

to wait a few more days.

A few days?

One week.

Are you kidding me, Mr. Glasses?

Wait for a week?

We can't wait another day.

[These clients are all retail buyers.]

If you cut off the supply,

they'll find someone else.

They won't wait for a week.

Mr. Glasses.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

If you're having problems,

you can tell me.

I'll shoulder the burden with you.

[You said it before.]

[We're working under the same roof.]

[I can't sit back and watch.]

I also said

that you do your job

and I'll do mine.

Do you understand?

It's none of my business, right?

Fine.

Then do it yourself.

If Mr. Ou finds out what happened,

don't come to me.

[Wait.]

Tackle him from the base.

The base is gone now.

What are you going to do next?

Replace it.

Mr. Ou and Glasses wouldn't tell us

where Spectre's man is.

We can't find any useful information.

That's why

I think we should plant someone

by Glasses's side at all times.

We've thought about it.

Glasses is well-connected and competent.

He can find materials and a new factory

in no time.

But finding a cook who can sustain him,

he can't do that in a short time.

You mean

you want me to plant someone in?

Yes.

It's not just to watch his every move

and find Spectre's man,

we have to find his secret.

Okay.

I'll set it up.

Did you miss anything?

No.

That's all there is to making meth.

Think carefully.

Don't miss any details.

That's really all.

Right. Officers.

Why are you asking me this?

Why do you care?

It has nothing to do with you.

But let me tell you.

You make money from cooking meth.

You're rotten to the core.

You'll be punished by the law.

You're back.

Did you find out?

Except for a few tricks,

in general,

it's like what chemistry teachers say.

Captain Rong is inconsiderate.

He knows we don't have time.

But he told me to learn everything.

-How so? -Those little tricks are the point.

Those methamphetamine makers

do it mostly in the same way.

But their tricks are not the same.

But these tricks are what make them different.

You can tell if they're professionals

or some nerds

trying to make money in a lab.
