Do you believe in love?

- Yes, I do. - Yes.

Yes, I'm a firm believer.

Yes.

- Yes. - No, I don't.

Pardon?

Yes, I do.

How would you define love?

It's a different time now.

During our time, I just feel...

From getting acquainted to being married

the idea of "love" was almost non-existent.

After we were matchmade

if we liked each other

we would get married, have kids and...

Love is when you compromise

and the other party appreciates it.

Honesty and mutual trust.

Through thick and thin, we grow old together.

Love is to have mutual trust.

We were chatting over barbeque.

When the restaurant was about to close

the owner told us, "Get married, you two."

I heard that it only costs

30,000 yuan to put a wedding together.

We had doubts at first.

But after doing the math

it turned out to be true.

Getting married is not that expensive.

Since we already did our sums

we might as well put it into action.

What were you doing during the phenomenon?

Preparing for my company's assessment.

I was on my way to school.

I just woke up.

In a class.

I was driving to work.

I was on a bus.

We were at the Civil Affairs Bureau

getting ready to register our marriage.

- Nothing particular. - Getting a divorce.

I was teaching a class.

What time is it?

Just past six.

Sleep in. You have today off, right?

How can I sleep with all this smoke?

I just lit this.

All right.

What do you want?

What else?

What date is it today?

28th.

Have you invited Headmaster Kang to dinner?

I was thinking about it just now.

He gave me his word, so I reckon

there's no need to treat him to dinner.

It's high time I got my senior title.

Don't be so sure.

You'd better buy him dinner.

A dinner won't help.

Ultimately, it's up to Director Huang

from the Ministry of Education.

Invite them both to dinner, then.

It's not appropriate.

How so?

You don't understand.

You're done here?

OK, we're done. Xiaolei is up.

Remember to invite him to dinner.

Do it as soon as possible.

Not again.

Xiaolei, get up.

Xiaolei.

- I'm up. - I'm so sorry.

I went to sleep early last night

and didn't see your message.

Thank you so much for the hard work.

Wu Wenxue, this is how you washed dishes?

There are still food scraps on them.

- Still so greasy. - Xiaolei.

Did you call your grandma?

Do you hear me?

What?

Never mind. I'll call her.

- Mum. - Yes?

Where are my hair ties?

I don't know.

Heading to class, Mr Wu?

- Had breakfast? - Yeah.

- Hi, Ms Zhang. - Hi, Mr Wu.

Mr Wu.

Hi, Han.

You're going to have an open class, right?

No.

To get your senior title, you'll need to do that

for someone from the Ministry of Education.

Can I sit in?

I might not be the lucky one this year.

I bet it's you since you're such a good teacher.

Words were going around. I've heard.

I've got to go.

My book.

Bring in the Wine. Know what the title says?

- No idea. - An invitation to drink.

That's all it means.

Yuefu is a classical form of poetry

in the Han Dynasty, whereby poems are

composed in a folk song style.

There's a popular interpretation

going around online though.

Li Bai charges with his drunken sword

towards a certain direction, and in passing

he could cause 120 to 240 hit points of damage

to the enemies, stunning them unconscious.

You know what I'm saying?

- Yeah. - So, what is it?

Honour of King (online game). Right?

I'll remember those who laughed.

Let's carry on.

The waters of the Yellow River

come from upon Heaven.

Surging into the ocean, never...

Never to...

Where is he?

Where is he?

How did he possibly disappear?

He was here a while ago.

Zhang Haoxuan disappeared.

- What happened? - Mr Wu.

Zhang Haoxuan disappeared.

It's true. He vanished before my very eyes.

Quit messing around.

Cheng Lin disappeared too.

What's going on?

- Our teacher disappeared. - What's wrong?

What is going on?

Some classmates disappeared all of a sudden.

They vanished just like that.

Instantly, they vanished from sight.

Our teacher is gone too.

- What do we do? - What shall we do?

This is so weird.

Get inside.

Kuaizi, I'm totally broke.

Please give me a few more days.

- How many days? - Three days.

Add three days of interest to your debt?

Can you even afford that?

I don't have money.

Why don't you take my store inventory?

I can barely read.

Why do I need your darn pens?

Get out.

Where's the driver?

There's no driver in the car.

Are you kidding me? A driverless car?

- Huzi? - He disappeared!

- Come home with me. - No!

Come home. Let's go.

Come help me.

Don't embarrass me here.

- Let go. - Stop this.

Stay out of my life!

Jiayi!

Jiayi!

I can give you money.

Just stay away from my daughter

or I'll break your legs!

Hello.

I'm at the bank.

OK, got it.

I'll do it for you when I get back.

Bye.

Ministry of Civil Affairs

Qingjiang District, Yijiang City

Hubby

I waited till 10 o'clock. You were late.

I'm going to work now.

I'll be very busy the next few days.

Postpone it to next week, perhaps?

Are you all right?

Get out of the car!

Get out!

Where is the driver?

There's no driver on the car.

Are you kidding me? A driverless car?

Huzi?

He disappeared!

- Hurry up. - Don't run aimlessly.

Go in the middle.

Don't you know how to cover me?

Get yourself teleported. Liu Jiayi, you...

- I'll save you. - Hurry. I'm about to die.

- What are you doing? - Come home with me.

- Let's go. - Let's go home...

- Come help me. - Come home with me.

Don't embarrass me here.

Please. Stop it.

- Go home. - Stay out of my life!

Let's go home.

Jiayi!

Jiayi!

I can give you money.

Just stay away from my daughter

or I'll break your legs!

Jiayi, don't scare me, all right?

Let's go home. We can talk it over.

Let her be! Go ahead. Jump.

I'll never agree to you marrying that rascal.

Your mum and I can always have another child.

You have spoiled her.

I spoiled her?

And what have you been doing?

What have I been doing?

You've done nothing but played mahjong.

Are you blaming me? What about you?

You said you're busy with your business

but I know all your dirty deeds.

I...

This morning, many witnessed

a strange phenomenon in the sky.

At about 10.00am, a strange beam of light

fell upon the downtown of Yijiang City.

The phenomenon was captured

by security cameras from various districts.

A strange phenomenon in our city

Strangely, those in the areas

where the light phenomenon occurred

did not see the light beam.

Since morning, police have been receiving

numerous missing person reports.

The missing persons reports were all filed

after the white light was seen.

But it's yet to be known if these two matters

are interrelated.

Yet to be known if they're interrelated?

Hell, of course they are interrelated!

It's mandated by the heavens.

People have to die.

What kind of people?

Bad people.

And that's us.

No, we are good people.

Boss, may I use your phone?

Who do you want to call?

Qin Shan, my childhood friend.

- Use your own phone. - Out of battery.

I'm angry.

Very angry.

I was walking to the market

when the car hit me.

After I got up, no one was there.

He ran away. It's so unfair...

The subscriber you dialled is power off.

You're avoiding me.

I'll kick your butt when I find you.

He must owe you a lot of money.

Wu Wenxue and I are fine.

Xiaolei is fine.

My mother-in-law is fine, too.

Don't worry about us.

You still haven't fixed it?

Something's wrong with this, I guess.

Isn't that obvious? Forget it.

I'll contact the customer service tomorrow.

I don't think you should go for a walk today.

I just want to see how is everything.

It's a total mess.

Let's go.

Come on. Let's go for a stroll.

Calm down...

We'll do our best to find them.

Please trust us and the government.

We will do our best.

What on earth is that light?

Where does it come from?

Who knows?

People just vanished in a flash.

There must be a reason.

Headmaster Kang disappeared too.

What about your promotion?

Something terrible happened

and you're still thinking about my promotion?

You don't seem worried at all.

This is exciting for you, isn't it?

Exciting? What nonsense.

You and your mother

have an addiction to chaos.

They're gone?

I'm sleepy. I'm heading home.

Mum.

Let's call it a day. Shall we go back?

Not now.

Aren't you full of energy?

It's a bit chaotic out here.

I'm fine.

Xiaolei has homework to do.

OK.

- Are you all right? - Go check on Xiaolei.

- I'm fine. - Xiaolei...

Zhang Yan!

Are you OK...?

Are you OK?

- Are you all right? - Police?

- Are you OK? - There's been an explosion.

I think someone left the stove on

and disappeared. So it exploded.

Please send help.

According to reports, the same phenomenon

has occurred in 153 cities all around the world

including five in China.

The affected areas include major cities

as well as unpopulated oceans and deserts.

China has joined hands

with various international organisations

in the hope of finding...

The subscriber you dialled is power off.

Sorry. The subscriber you dialled is power off.

To focus on recovery from the aftermath

to ensure economic and social well-being.

It must be some kind of laser light.

Whoever it reaches will vanish. Evaporate.

I bet it's a secret weapon

belonging to the Japanese.

They're terrified because of

the Second Sino-Japanese War.

So, they did it on the sly.

If you don't believe me, go check online.

Everyone's been sharing posts about this.

Li Nan, you have a guest.

- Let's talk outside. - No need.

- Outside. - Signed the divorce papers yet?

Where are you hiding Hu Jianping?

Save yourself from embarrassment.

- Let's talk outside. - Don't touch me, witch.

Don't touch me.

- Stop it. - Stop fighting.

Stop it. Quit fighting...

- Stop! - Stop!

Don't hurt her. Come with me...

Hey, you. Calm down...

Headmaster Kang is not here.

So I'll be acting headmaster for now.

I guess you all have seen the news.

This is a crisis that affects the whole world.

No organisation or individual needs

to bear responsibility for such a situation.

I want everyone here

to speak along the same line.

To ensure the safety and stability

of our school and society

the City Council and Ministry of Education

have executed an emergency plan

as of this morning.

All elementary and middle schools in our city

are to suspend classes starting today.

Suspend classes?

But it's indeed really weird.

Qu Chongjia.

Our task for today is

to send all of our students

back to their parents, safe and sound.

- Ge Zhou? - Here.

What's going on?

They've been robbing stores

saying the end of the world has come.

The store owner can forget about them paying.

Stop!

Stop! Stop right there...

- Song Kai, hurry up. - OK.

As soon as you get home

get your parents to text me.

Stop! Catch the thief.

Catch him.

You thief!

How dare you steal cigarettes from me?

- Are you OK? - A thief, huh?

Song Kai, get back here.

It's none of your business.

What's there to fear?

Come on. Let's go.

What's there to fear? Wait till it's your turn

to be taken away by the light.

We're not afraid of it.

Those who disappeared are all couples.

What do you mean, couples?

Those are all couples.

Who are you talking about?

Wang Binbin and Yang Xin.

Zhang Haoxuan and Fu Jing from Class 4.

- Does anyone else know this? - Mr Zhou does.

So do we.

What about those from the other classes?

All those who vanished?

They were all dating someone.

Get going. Come on.

What happened to your face?

He robbed me and beat me up.

- What about you? - I was just trying to help.

- Are you all right? - Get up.

- Come with us. Three of you. - Get up.

Come on.

Just go.

Stop it. Stop fighting.

Officer?

- Go this way. - Officer?

When can I go? I have classes to attend.

- Officer? - Just a second.

Many are here to file reports.

The offices are all packed.

Please wait here for a while.

Officer, I have something to report.

Sir, I have something to report.

Give me a second.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I asked you a question.

I killed someone.

Well, you can't judge a book by its cover.

Who did you kill?

My wife.

What happened? Tell me.

Come on, men don't cry.

Tell me how you killed her.

Mr Wu.

Have you had dinner?

I had a little.

I made some spicy chicken. Want to try?

- You cook? - Come on.

I cooked the one you had last time.

- Oh, is that right? - Yeah.

That was quite yummy.

What's this? Rice pilaf?

Oh! I forgot to bring chopsticks.

I'm joking. I have chopsticks here.

Are you reading the news as well?

The one about that actor who disappeared.

Actually, it's my mum.

She was asking me about it the other day.

I was just checking for her.

Cool. Your mum keeps up with celebrity gossip.

My mum does nothing all day.

- Is it good? - Could be better.

I'm joking. It's very tasty.

Try this.

What is it?

Why did you draw lines between these names?

I discovered those students that disappeared

are mostly couples.

Mr Sui...

disappeared along with his wife.

Ms Yao...

disappeared along with her husband too.

Headmaster Kang...

Headmaster Kang disappeared

but his wife didn't.

I saw her on the street this morning.

- Did you? - Yes.

Let me see.

If I hadn't experienced it myself

I couldn't imagine such a strange happening

would occur.

I've been wondering in the past few days.

You know...

it might be us who disappeared

instead of them.

Headmaster Kang.

What do you do for a living?

I'm a researcher

at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

So you're a scientist.

Why did you kill your wife?

Starting from the day before yesterday

the government had summoned experts

in various fields

from universities and institutions

including our Academy of Social Sciences

to discuss what happened.

We deliberated for hours

yet couldn't conclude what that light was.

We reckoned

those experts in Beijing would know.

We were focused on

checking the list of people who disappeared.

As scientists

we believe there must be some kind of pattern.

Soon, we made a discovery.

Among those who disappeared

a lot of them were couples.

Some were married.

Some were dating each other.

Three out of four are like that.

- Hello. - Who are you looking for?

Is Director Huang Qiaoshan at home?

She disappeared. And you are?

I'm a Chinese teacher

from Sanzhong Middle School.

- We met before... - You're her lover?

I saw her disappear before my eyes.

Mum didn't disappear.

Mum is on a business trip, isn't she?

Are you done with homework?

Go do your homework.

Thousands of others seem to

have disappeared alone.

And we're unaware of their relationship status.

The cops are swamped

so we appealed to the government

to get social workers to conduct a census

checking on the missing persons

in each and every household.

This apartment's registered under Hu Jianping.

So you're renting the place?

He's my husband.

Has anyone gone missing in your household?

Hu Jianping is probably missing.

What do you mean, probably missing?

He doesn't live with me.

Is he on a business trip?

I was going to divorce him, so he moved out.

Where did he move to?

To live with his mistress.

Then how do you know he's missing?

His mistress came look me up yesterday

saying she couldn't find him.

So I guess he disappeared.

Did you try to find him?

I was about to divorce him.

I don't care where he is.

The investigation hasn't reached

any conclusion yet.

But I've got my own.

As a scientist

I believe there are patterns in everything.

Those who are taken away are in love.

Those who got left behind aren't.

That's bull.

This is not scientific at all.

Do you know what is quantum mechanics?

No.

Research has shown that love is

a form of quantum entanglement.

No matter how far apart a couple are

they remain intertwined.

It's like everyone has a string on their head.

And the strings on the heads of a couple

are banded together.

So, when one is taken away

the other will follow.

That's impossible.

It's a hypothesis based on statistics.

This is the best explanation

I could come up with so far.

My boss noticed I didn't look well.

He thought I was tired

so he let me go home.

I went home and saw my wife.

I told her to cook something for me.

She refused.

That made me a bit cross.

She cooked for me eventually.

She made shredded pork with green pepper

and fried rice.

She put green onion in the fried rice.

I hate green onion.

At that moment

I was sure my love for her was true.

So, it means she no longer loved me.

No wonder our love

didn't endure the test of God.

I can't really... recall what happened next.

Only that I strangled her to death.

You're crazy.

I hope I was.

I've got it.

Your wife must have been cheating on you.

So you killed her and made all this up

to give people the idea that you're crazy

so you could avoid the death sentence.

I'm not afraid of death at all.

Actually, we're all the same.

We don't have love.

None of us does.

I should've had hot pot

before I turned myself in.

Her corpse is not going anywhere.

Officer, I'm here to turn myself in.

I killed someone.

What did you say?

I killed my wife. I'm here to turn myself in.

I can show you her body.

Can I have hot pot before you lock me up?

Follow me.

The crimes you committed

are all misdemeanours.

The stolen items have been returned.

We don't have time for you.

You've been given a warning

and you won't be detained.

Thank you so much, officer.

But I have to warn you all.

Our government has declared

a state of emergency in our city

with armed police patrolling the streets.

This district is severely affected

by the natural disaster.

Whoever caught fishing in troubled water

will be severely punished.

Come on, you guys.

Follow me to sign the release forms.

Go sign the release form.

More and more investigations

into human disappearance...

Do those who disappeared

have some kind of connections?

My childhood friend Qin Shan is missing.

I suspect Zhou Hao murdered him.

Zhou Hao, that television host.

Those disappearance cases have confirmed...

Most disappearances happened to couples

that are proven to be

in relationships of true love.

The wall of his apartment is stained with blood.

Why is it so?

Isn't it obvious? It's murder!

We believe that the Earth

has come into contact with dark matter

such as fragments from the fourth

or even the fifth dimension.

We also believe that the missing people

they disappeared into one of those dimensions.

Then what about the burst of light?

The debris from higher dimensions

aren't able to survive

in the three-dimensional space.

It will collapse and shrink

while releasing a bright burst of light energy.

Are there any possibilities

for the missing people to return?

I don't think there is.

It's not up to us to define true love.

This light beam has given us a definition.

It has set a standard for us.

Well, we who got left behind

could lie to ourselves

and say that we do have true love.

However, in the wee hours of the morning

try answering these questions truthfully.

Do we deserve pity?

Or are we all liars?

I suppose this is...

what the white light

wants us to reflect on.

Do you think the light only took away those

who are in love?

Does my opinion even matter?

I don't have a girlfriend to begin with.

And I don't believe in love.

Isn't it just normal?

Love itself is practically sci-fi.

My parents fight on a daily basis.

I don't see a hint of love between them.

But they disappeared together.

Isn't that ridiculous?

Clearly, there's no love between them.

So, just break up.

I know my situation.

My colleagues are making fun of my divorce.

It's understandable. I don't blame them.

But after the light incident, I realised...

their lives aren't any better than mine.

I feel that it's not logical at all.

It's up to the individual to define one's love.

No one else can.

My wife and I don't believe that rumour.

It doesn't affect us at all.

Ms Han.

- You scared me. - I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were here.

I came to fetch something. What about you?

I'm on duty.

How's your wife recently?

She's fine.

I feel like I have to explain it to you.

They say those who were taken away

are those who are in love.

It's fine to say that.

But you can't say for sure

those who are left behind aren't in love.

That's not logical at all.

Do you envy those

who are taken away by the light?

I got to go.

How long have you two been married?

17... 17 years.

Almost 18 years now.

So, who is bored with the other?

Don't believe the nonsense you see online.

Isn't that your finding?

My finding? I'm not a scientist.

Even those scientists haven't got a clue yet.

I think she doesn't love you anymore.

That's not true.

She doesn't.

No way.

You don't love her anymore, then.

Don't say that.

Or you both don't love each other.

Mum, stop it already.

Only these few probable outcomes.

I think she doesn't love you anymore.

Does He Xiaofen live here?

She's not at home. And you are?

I need to talk to her.

She went out to get goods.

Come in, please.

I'll get you some water.

No, thanks. I'm fine.

Please. Have some water.

- Thank you. - I'm cooking.

Stay and have lunch with us.

What are you doing here?

What do you want?

Calm down. Can I have a word?

What the hell are you doing here?

What did you tell my mum?

Please mind your manners.

I need to ask you something.

I have nothing to tell you. Get lost.

Don't be cocky.

So what you stole him from me?

Hu Jianping loves someone else, not you.

You're probably just a sex toy to him.

And you're worse than a sex toy.

When Hu Jianping and I first knew each other

he didn't even know how to unhook a bra.

He didn't know some had front clasps.

Who the hell do you think you are?

Get out of here.

He didn't know the pleasure of being a man.

Why are you still standing there? Out you go!

Your daughter is a home-wrecker.

She stole my husband.

Is that how you teach your daughter?

She's bad at it though.

She failed to win his heart.

This wench seduced my husband

and ruined my marriage.

Own up to what you've done.

Do you know what's funny?

My husband disappeared and she's still here.

Shameless broad!

Careful with the knife. Calm down.

Don't start a fight.

Mum, are you all right?

Don't worry. Your mum is fine.

We're just keeping her here for observation.

Thank you.

I'll cover the medical bills.

Tell me if it's not enough.

Whatever.

Hu Jianping told me he'd get a divorce.

After that, I didn't hear from him.

I called him but he didn't answer.

I assumed you refused to divorce him

and do something bad to him.

That was why I went to look you up.

I agreed to the divorce.

What would I do to him?

He disappeared. Period.

He didn't.

He loves no one else but me.

You've humiliated me and vented your anger.

What else is keeping you here?

I didn't intend to create a scene.

I just wanted to ask you

if you have his ID card.

I need it to try and file for divorce.

I don't have it. He must have it with him.

Wait up. Can you do me a favour?

I can't check his call history without his ID.

You have his residency card.

Can you check it for me?

Why should I help you?

Where are you? Call me back.

Didn't you give this toothbrush to Qin Shan?

Why did you bring it back?

Where are you going?

Keep an eye on that rascal.

What for?

I bet he killed Qin Shan.

Why couldn't Qin Shan have disappeared?

Do you like me or not?

Not at all.

I'm here. And you're here.

Of course I don't like you.

So, you like Qin Shan then?

You're talking crap.

What are you doing?

I made the police report.

That guy killed my friend.

Have you found anything?

Qin Shan was your friend?

Yeah.

Do you know what relationship

he had with Zhou Hao?

Qin Shan was quite handsome

so he was hounded by some wretched guys.

He'd complain to me about them.

Zhou Hao had been harassing him

so I wanted to teach him a lesson.

I reckon Zhou Hao found out about our plan

and killed him.

Do you have any evidence?

There's a huge blood stain in his living room.

Didn't you see that?

I mentioned it when I made the police report.

How do you know about the blood stain?

I went into his apartment.

Qin Shan told me the password

to unlock his door.

We're still investigating. No more questions.

We can't tell you anything.

And we won't tell you anything. Let's go.

Mr Wu, we have no doubt

in your teaching ability.

I'm flattered.

But the situation is a bit different this time.

So, our school has decided

to give priority to Mr Zhu

to apply for the senior teacher title.

His wife disappeared, you know.

This doesn't make sense.

He got left behind.

It dealt a great blow to him.

But my wife and I both got left behind.

It's an even greater blow to us.

Besides showing concern for him

we're also looking at one's moral values.

His wife disappeared

which means his wife was cheating on him

not vice versa.

That implies he has strong moral values.

It's unfair to draw that conclusion.

So, if both husband and wife got left behind

you're saying they've been unfaithful?

That'd make couples doubt each other!

OK. Even if...

the marriage is going through a rough patch

it's an issue between the couple.

You can't... turn it into a moral issue.

Wu, please calm down.

What's wrong with society?

This is the way people see it now.

What else could we do?

Headmaster Wang, you do know that

this is only a hypothesis, don't you?

Well, both you and your wife got left behind.

You can't say that.

My situation is totally different.

My wife's been living

in her hometown in Chongqing.

She didn't experience the light phenomenon.

My wife wasn't in town that day either.

It's true!

Hello. I'm here. Why is the door closed?

- You called? - Yes.

Come on in.

Look.

Tickets to Wuchang, Hanzhong

Chongqing, Shashi...

Farther away... Beijing

Northeast China... I even do Moscow.

What about Shashi? That would work.

And you need two photos, right?

- Yes. - 2,500 yuan in total.

Just two photoshopped photos and a ticket

and you're charging me 2,500 yuan?

That's way too expensive.

This is daylight robbery.

Didn't I already tell you

the price on the phone?

Real tickets are cheap. Go buy the real ones.

- I'm just bargaining. - Take it or leave it.

If you're going, lift the roller door yourself.

What a shrewd businessman you are.

All right. Here's 2,500 yuan.

- The exact amount. - In cash?

Can't you pay with your phone?

Not enough balance in my e-wallet.

Do you have the photos?

Does this work?

As old school as you are

I'm surprised you know about photoshop.

Come back on Tuesday.

Can't you do it now? I want the photo back.

Not that I don't trust you but you know

everyone's pretty touchy.

I don't want the photo to get lost and...

My wife and I are getting along pretty well.

We were just fine

until this dumb thing happened.

Every conversation revolves around this topic.

Isn't it absurd?

It's putting unwanted pressure on everyone.

Do I look like I run some helpline?

I'll show you something.

So many customers of mine

have spent big bucks on fake tickets

to make up a story to save face.

We all got left behind. No one is better off.

Nice coat you're wearing.

Where did you buy it?

Don't cotton up to me.

You're so annoying.

No wonder Hu Jianping doesn't want you.

I'm the one who wanted the divorce.

Well, my trash is your treasure.

Xiaowei.

Xiaowei.

Yang Ziwei!

Whom did he disappear with?

Go back to work.

He doesn't love me anymore. Why?

Hu Jianping, you scoundrel.

You deserve hell!

Why did you give money to another woman?

You're in no position to say that

in front of me.

Huihui, can you do me a favour?

Help me check up on someone.

Her name is Xue Yan.

I have her bank account number.

I just want to know whether she disappeared.

OK.

What a loser.

What does Hu Jianping like about you?

Did you bug him to divorce me?

What if he had refused?

Would you have killed him?

Stop crying, will you?

Are you Xue Yan?

I am.

What's your relationship with Hu Jianping?

Who are you?

This is his ex-wife.

We're not divorced yet.

Why did Hu Jianping give you so much money?

He lent it to me.

Lent it to you?

- Where is he? - I don't know.

He must have disappeared.

No, he hasn't.

You've come for the money?

Then what is it that you want?

Where are you hiding Hu Jianping?

I'll return the money I borrowed.

Keep this up and I'll call the police.

You have something to hide?

Go ahead, call the police.

Go and see for yourself.

Mummy.

Xiaolei, your dad and I are going out.

The food is all yours.

OK.

Oh yes, I'll send you two photos.

What photos?

You know, the light incident

is really driving me frantic.

During the dinner later

I'm going to bring up the topic of health.

Then, you're going to cut in...

and say that...

on the day of the light incident

you went to Shashi to pay your aunt a visit

because she's sick.

Take the train ticket.

Wu Wenxue.

What do you mean by this?

Are you saying that it's my fault

we got left behind?

No.

I just don't want to be questioned again.

It's so annoying.

Why don't you say you were away instead?

Why make me lie?

I was at school that day.

Everyone saw me. How could I lie?

You two should get a divorce.

Nonsense.

Your lies make me ashamed.

Are these lies?

Tell me. Are these lies?

Not everything is black and white in life.

There are many ways to solve a problem...

Fine, fine. Mr Wu.

Mind your attitude.

- Do you love me then? - What do you think?

Why are we not taken away?

We... we are family. That's kinship, not love.

Got it.

You know very well that we get along fine.

Why did you say something like that?

How did you get to know each other?

We were middle school classmates.

I know you.

Hu Jianping mentioned you before.

You're his first love.

I didn't know you were still in touch.

We didn't at first.

We met again at a class reunion two years ago

and added each other's contact.

We only exchanged text messages.

Not a lot though.

After my husband fell ill

we raked up a lot of debt.

When Hu Jianping learned about it

he lent me 50,000 yuan.

I refused his help at first.

In the end, I accepted. Out of desperation.

Did you sleep with him?

No.

I'm not that kind of woman.

Did Hu Jianping tell you he's divorcing me?

- He did. - What did he tell you?

He said love's gone between you two.

Did he tell you

he'd marry you after his divorce?

He said...

you have a good job and is a capable woman.

Even without him

you can take good care of yourself.

- So, I deserve to... - I want more.

Did Hu Jianping mention me before?

No.

He lent you 50,000 yuan without thinking.

He's usually a scrooge.

I must say Hu Jianping is something.

There's nothing outstanding about him

yet he's got three women so hung up on him.

I'm not hung up on him.

I'm just curious.

I'm curious to see what kind of a woman

he disappeared with.

Hu Jianping didn't disappear.

You haven't given up, have you?

I'll prove I'm the one he loves.

Does it even matter?

I'm not a home-wrecker.

Hu Jianping and I are truly in love.

God has been kind to me.

I don't care whom she disappeared with.

This is one of the three blessings in life.

Losing a spouse at my age.

You know what? We really should

cut down on alcohol. Really.

We're prone to develop diseases at our age.

We all have old and young at home.

We can't afford to die.

You know what I mean?

Take Zhang Yan's aunt as an example...

Wu is right.

I haven't been feeling very well lately.

I went for a check-up at the hospital.

The doctor told me it might be breast cancer

so I needed further checks.

I'm not too sure.

It's been a while now.

I went for the check-up

on the day of the light incident.

I don't know what I should do about this.

Dong, can you take a look for me?

I know a lot about breasts.

Come on, you're not a doctor!

I know loads. I used to be a milk distributor.

Pervert!

Hey. All jokes aside.

Hey...

All jokes aside. You know what?

It set me thinking.

Look, this is Zhang Yan's aunt.

She used to be strong and healthy.

And suddenly, she fell very sick.

Isn't it sad? And nothing you can do about it.

This is not her. This is Zhang Yan.

On the day of the light incident

she went to Shashi to pay her aunt a visit.

The day of the light incident?

Hey, Dong.

You went to Shashi the same day, didn't you?

Shashi Station

Stop peeking at his phone.

The photos look exactly the same.

Come take a look.

They do look similar.

Look...

Something fishy is going on.

Dong carried a torch for Zhang Yan

when we were in school.

Clearly, they went there together

behind his back.

- That's not true! - Explain yourself.

- Don't spout nonsense. - What's going on?

OK, OK. I'll come clean.

The light incident caused me a lot of distress.

So, I got myself a photoshopped picture.

I didn't go to Shashi that day.

Wu, don't read too much into this.

What are you doing?

Wu, you're letting your imagination run wild.

- What the hell? - Not true!

I'm just speaking my mind.

Don't believe what they say.

- Fine! Bottoms up. - Drink up.

Drink up.

- Bottoms up. - Nice...

I've emptied my glass.

Me too.

All right!

But...

You didn't go but Zhang Yan sure did.

- She went to Shashi see her aunt. - When?

On the day of the light incident.

Who would visit a relative

on a Thursday morning? Tell me.

Zhang Yan took a day off.

She didn't have to go to work.

So she went to Shashi.

A day off? On a Thursday?

You think I'm lying?

Come on...

All right then.

Ticket. Give me the ticket.

Give me the ticket.

- Whatever. - Come on.

- Take a look. - No need for that.

Let's just enjoy our get-together.

- Here... - Check the train ticket?

I don't want to see it.

Am I lying? Isn't this a ticket to Shashi?

- Am I lying? - No... you are not.

Want to check the CCTV at the train station?

- Let's go. - Let's go then.

- Let's go... - Come on.

Put your coat on and go.

All right...

I'm telling you. He's someone

who'd rather lose his life than his face.

He cares about saving his face.

Love? What era do we live in?

How old are you now?

What is true love? Let me enlighten you.

You're in love

if the two of you still make love.

You're still the old wastrel.

You... answer me. All of you.

Have you made love to your partner this month?

If you have, you have true love.

I have.

- I have. - Really?

It doesn't mean it's true

just because you said so.

Can you still do it?

On the day of the light incident

did I do it?

I did it that day. Believe it or not.

That morning. Am I lying?

Do you think I lied to all of you?

Zhang Yan...

Yu, look what you've done.

You talk too much.

Are you asleep?

Actually, today, I...

I wanted to...

I...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I...

I'm really sorry.

I really am.

I mean it.

I'm sorry. I mean it.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

From Zhao Feng. Don't worry. Sleep early.

Tomorrow is a brand-new day.

We used to have endless topics to talk about.

I'm just holding it together

for the sake of my mum-in-law and daughter.

I don't know how long more

I can tolerate this.

I understand how it must be like for you.

Don't worry. Sleep early.

Tomorrow is a brand-new day.

Good night. Sweet dreams.

Good night. Sweet dreams.

You're Yuqing's dad?

Yes. And you are?

I'm Xiaolei's dad.

Hi, Mr Wu. We finally meet each other.

- Hello. - Hello.

Xiaolei often speaks of Yuqing.

Right. They're good friends.

Xiaolei's mum often speaks of you.

I should be ashamed of myself.

I'm a teacher

but I don't spend much time with my daughter.

Her mum is quite keen to come here though.

I don't smoke.

Thank you for helping them

carry the violin up and down.

Not at all.

What do you do for a living?

I work at the Art Museum. I also paint.

So, you're an artist.

Not really.

Just an educator like you.

Mr Wu, did you come here to ask

about my relationship with Zhang Yan?

So, what kind of relationship is it?

What relationship

are you expecting it to be?

Get to the point. Just answer my question.

What do you want to know?

Are you asking if I've slept with your wife?

Don't you dare say that again.

You won't want to hear it again.

What do you want?

Pick a fight?

Don't you get it?

Never mind my relationship with Zhang Yan.

Think about your relationship with her.

There's a problem between you and her.

That's why she came to talk to me.

I suggest you have a good talk with her

to resolve the problem between you two.

I don't need a lecture from you.

Things were all good between me and her

until that light brought you to light.

Mr Wu, don't get so worked up.

Let's not create a scene here.

Don't embarrass our daughters.

Dad.

If you really think there's a problem

go find me at the Art Museum.

Let's go.

I talked to him before the police arrived.

I wasn't angry at him for rear-ending my car.

Hu Jianping is not a good driver.

But he has a sense of humour.

I could leave the insurance matters to my driver

but I went in person instead

because every time I see him, he'd tell me jokes

and make me laugh.

I didn't know he could tell jokes.

When he's with me...

Never mind.

How's he like when he's with you?

A creep, as always.

- Did he tell jokes? - Never.

He once told me that

it was too taxing being with you two.

- He couldn't relax. - How could he say that?

So, he's totally relaxed when he's with you?

He said his life at home was too predictable

so he was bored.

While he had to please you all the time

or you'd become too clingy.

And with his first love...

he felt weighed down.

He had a few other women

and all of them felt like a burden.

I'm not clingy!

And you're not a burden to him?

Probably not.

Otherwise he wouldn't have told her

about every one of his women.

Did Hu Jianping ever tell you

who he loved the most?

After the light incident, I wanted to meet

all the women Hu Jianping told me about.

I wanted to know whom he disappeared with

and see if I've made the right guess.

How are you related to Hu Jianping?

Sometimes men would behave like boys.

They just want to act spoilt

showing their vulnerable side

before falling asleep on the sofa.

Does your husband act like a boy

when's he with you?

We're here to let you know

the results of the investigation.

We've interrogated Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao cracked under pressure

and admitted to the crime. He found out that

you and Qin Shan were planning to attack him.

On the morning of that day in question

he had a fight with Qin Shan.

During the fight

he stabbed Qin Shan with a fruit knife.

He killed Qin Shan?

He said he didn't kill him

and that Qin Shan wasn't hurt too badly.

He just bled a little.

He regretted what he did.

So, just when he was about

to call for an ambulance

Qin Shan suddenly disappeared.

He's lying.

We've searched Zhou Hao's apartment.

The scene is consistent with his description.

So, Zhou Hao is no longer

suspected of murdering Qin Shan.

We believe Qin Shan had disappeared.

What if he had disappeared after he died?

Well, we've considered this possibility.

But we've never handled such a case before.

And there's no evidence to support that.

What if Qin Shan was alive when he vanished?

What if Zhou Hao had stabbed him hard

and he was only seconds away from dying

and then he vanished?

Is Zhou Hao not guilty of killing him?

There's no evidence to prove that.

Where is Zhou Hao?

We released him this morning.

You released him?

Without evidence, we can't detain him.

He's an evil guy.

But not a murderer.

Investigations will continue.

If we discover new evidence

we'll bring him in for interrogation again.

I've arranged to meet a woman named Hou Li.

Tomorrow. Here at ten o'clock.

I won't come tomorrow.

Why? You're busy tomorrow?

I'll stop searching.

After meeting Xue Yan, I decided to stop.

Thank you.

If not for you, I wouldn't dig so deep

into Hu Jianping's life.

We've been together for seven years.

I thought I knew him well.

But after all this

I realised I don't know him at all.

When I first learnt about you two

I couldn't sleep all night.

I kept asking myself what I'd done wrong.

I still remember when I first met him.

He told me...

he likes girls who are gracious

well-mannered, independent...

Someone who gives him freedom.

He also told me he found his dream girl.

I believed what he said and strived to be

the kind of girl he likes.

All men are liars.

He didn't lie.

What he told us is true.

After all that had happened

I think I understand him now.

He loves and hates everything.

After knowing this, I stopped blaming myself.

I'll give up the search.

But I can't live without him.

Of course you can.

I'll call you later.

Why are you here again?

We need to talk.

We don't have to since we got left behind.

I feel indignant leaving things as they are.

Just go away.

Liu Jiayi, I can't live without you.

What do I have to do

to make you believe that I love you?

Everything we do is wrong

since the light incident.

Only those who are gone did right.

I really love you.

Go away!

I could die for you.

Let me go.

Go ahead then.

I really love you.

Hubby

Delete contact

May I have one?

Here.

More than 5,500 scientists around the world

issued a joint statement

repudiating the hypothesis that

only those taken by that light have true love.

Scientists stated that

there's no scientific evidence

to support the conclusion.

Therefore, we cannot conclude

that those who are got left behind

do not have true love.

Good morning, sir.

Mr Wu.

You came.

Want something to drink?

No.

Let's just straighten things out.

Allow me to introduce.

My wife Zou Li.

- Mr Wu. - Hello.

What do you want to say to me?

I want to tell you that

Zhang Yan is in great despair.

What you've been doing

is pushing her further away

instead of fixing your marriage.

A broken soul needs an outlet.

That's why she confided in me.

Well, I'm speechless.

It seems that your wife is clear

about what's going on.

I'll be straightforward then.

I've been a teacher for most of my life.

And no one's ever said such things to me

with such arrogance.

Whatever problem I have with Zhang Yan

is between her and me.

Nothing to do with you. Got it?

You're a married man.

Can you please stay away from Zhang Yan?

I understand.

Calm down. Take your time.

You don't see where the problem lies, do you?

You blame me for your marital problems?

You only care about

whether I've slept with your wife.

Why don't you accept the fact

that you don't love each other anymore?

How do you know that we're no longer in love?

I used to be a hypocrite like you.

I thought if I admitted

that there's no longer love between us

we wouldn't be able to face each other.

Before the light incident

my marriage had already broken down.

We were both having an affair.

Yet, in front of our parents

kids and relatives

we pretended like nothing was wrong.

We both hated how we couldn't be ourselves.

We were mean towards each other

and fought a lot.

Then the light phenomenon happened.

I had an epiphany.

That light is the last judgement.

It's a warning. It's telling us to stop lying.

It removes all of our masks.

Everyone is equal. Everyone is real.

Coming to terms that there's no love between us

my relationship with Zou Li improved.

These people are like us.

They've all figured it out.

We all know how it feels like

being locked in a marriage.

So, we all decided

not to lie to ourselves anymore.

Instead of having an affair

we choose to follow our heart

and go after what we want.

What do you mean?

You can see it as a way

to help and comfort one another.

We've created this light.

We decide how we define love.

It's about time.

Give it some thought.

You're welcome to join us anytime.

I was talking to Liu earlier.

He shared a thought and I agree with him.

If there's rebirth...

If one could live several lifetimes...

What was it that you said?

We could choose a different way of life

in every lifetime.

Yes, we could choose a different way of life

in every lifetime.

But no one knows it for sure.

So, we have to live in the present.

And try to pursue and trust

the love and happiness we believe in.

Don't you agree?

Let's get started.

Xiaolei, where is your dad?

What's wrong?

What's the matter?

Who is Zhao Feng?

You went through my phone?

I asked you a question.

What's going on?

What kind of answer do you prefer?

I'll give you the version you wish to hear.

Close the door. It's cold.

See that? That happened five minutes

before the light incident.

The video is blurry. We couldn't make out

the number plate of that truck.

Plus, we've been very busy.

It was only yesterday that the car and body

were found downstream.

You have identified the body.

He died in the car accident.

We're hunting for the hit- and-run driver.

If you have no more questions

you may sign on the statement.

Never did I imagine

this would happen to Hu Jianping.

Don't be sad.

Take good care of yourself.

- Mind your health. - All right.

You take care, too.

Are you Hu Jianping's wife?

Your husband has a message for you.

He said he had let you down.

The truth is, he didn't want to divorce you.

He wanted you to remember

the time when he was nice to you.

Our fee is 1,500 yuan.

Would you prefer to pay through WeChat

or Alipay?

Oh. I'll do it.

Done. Please check.

OK.

Thank you for taking me here.

Now I feel a sense of relief.

Hu Jianping didn't abandon me.

If he hadn't met with the accident

he would have disappeared with me.

Mr Wu.

Have you had lunch?

I had a little bit.

I've got something nice for you again.

You shouldn't have to.

Spicy chicken again.

- Try it. - Thanks.

This dish will numb your tongue.

After eating it, I think you'd go like this.

That'd probably make you laugh.

Don't let the rumour bother you.

The government has already refuted it.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Whether it's refuted or not, the outcome is...

The outcome is the same.

We can't go back to our old lives anymore.

I didn't know whose fault it was.

Hers or mine.

I really don't know.

I just feel very lost.

At the beginning, I felt that...

it was very ridiculous to say that

the light took away those who are in love.

But I really don't know what I should...

I understand.

Where is Xiaolei?

At remedial class.

Mr Wu, I think I'm in love with you.

There's nothing shameful about

admitting my true feelings.

After the light incident

we should all stop lying to ourselves.

I'll cook now.

It's fine. I'm not hungry.

Delete chat

Delete

Oh yes.

I just recalled I have work to do at school.

Heading out right after coming back?

Yeah.

- Come back soon. - I will.

We also have hourly rate rooms.

80 yuan for four hours.

Standard room with shower.

One room, please.

Yiling Ave 131, Golden Island Holiday Hotel.

Room 402. I'll be waiting.

Send

I just saw your text. Wrapping things up.

Give me 30 minutes.

I was going to buy a pack of cigarette.

So...

Let's go upstairs then.

Need a shower?

I... I've had one.

I'm sorry. Can you come out for a second?

I had been thinking about

what I told you this afternoon.

I think I've straightened my thoughts.

I meant to say that

the reason my wife and I are not taken away

isn't my fault.

I invited you out...

without knowing what for.

I probably wanted to get back at my wife.

Or maybe for some other reasons.

Anyway, all I thought about is myself.

I'm a hypocrite.

When I had a fight with Zhang Yan

I'd resent her.

Sometimes my mind would wander off

and imagine bad things happening to her.

Of course I don't really mean it.

I just...

unwittingly had those thoughts.

The truth is, I know that you like me.

I like you, too.

Whenever I see you

my mind would have indecent fantasies.

I'd only put those thoughts away...

when I became aware of them.

When I was young

I had even filthier fantasies.

I felt pretty bad about myself then.

And I...

And I worried about

people noticing my thoughts

and looking down upon me.

So I gradually learned to forgive myself.

I applied Freud psychoanalytic theory

to make sense of things.

It's because I had those evil thoughts

I failed God's test, I suppose.

Aren't we all too full of ourselves?

We say the rest went to hell.

What about us?

Who has the right to determine

who goes to hell?

What is that light?

If we had sex, would you have fallen for me?

When I was waiting for you

I thought I would be excited but instead

I felt scared, uneasy and nervous.

I don't suppose that's how love feels like.

I've been thinking on my way here.

If we had sex

I probably wouldn't love you anymore.

Or maybe I've already stopped loving you.

My parents didn't allow me to marry you

because they thought

you were only after our money and factory

and that you'd ruin our family eventually.

My dad had mistresses out there.

Quite a number of them.

My mum goes out to play mahjong all the time

and seldom comes home.

Even they haven't ruined our family.

How could I have ruined my family

just because I fell in love with a man?

Sir, how long are we going to tail him?

I don't know. Probably not long.

Do you think Zhou Hao is innocent?

In a world where people can vanish into thin air

being innocent or not isn't that important.

At first, my parents told me

what we have between us isn't true love.

Now, the Heaven is telling us that

what we have between us isn't true love.

But tell me, what the hell is true love then?

What gives the Heaven the right to judge?

I can choose between breaking up with you

and being with you.

But it's not important.

What's important is...

the decision is mine to make.

Who are you?

Get off him.

Both of us are willing to die for each other.

If this isn't true love

I don't know what else is.

I want to marry you

make love to you

and have babies with you.

What is love to you?

It's when two people share the same belief

the same aesthetic standards

and the same values.

I think love means...

letting you go if that's what you want.

But if you want to come back to me one day

you'll see that I've always been waiting.

Everyone is born into this world

as an ordinary person.

But when love comes knocking

he or she becomes a unique individual

in the universe.

If you mess up this time

have faith that there's someone better

waiting for you.

If that light appears again

I want to be exposed to it.

That light won't give us any answer.

It's only a test.

It projects the true self

allowing us to know ourselves better

so we can move on.

Please don't. Don't cry.

Why?

I've gotten rid of everything

you dislike about me.

What else do you want me to do?

Tell me what else you want from me.

Say something.

I can be anything you want.

What do you want me to do?

Tell me. Say something.

What's wrong?

Xiaolei, what's the matter?

He doesn't like me anymore.

What should I do?

Don't cry.

It's all right.

You'll sort it out eventually.

Go wash your face.

Have you eaten?

No.

There's nothing going on

between Zhao Feng and me.

I know.

I haven't done anything to let you down.

I love you.
