Mr. Lu.

What is going on?

Why did a murder case

turn into a bank robbery half way?

Do you want to know?

Follow me down there to see for yourself.

Qiao, look at your poor construction quality.

You should be executed for that.

Hey, think of it this way.

If the supervisor of this project wasn't me,

you couldn't have solved such a big case.

Well, not necessarily.

What?

Ge?

We searched everywhere,

but the only place we missed was this toilet.

We almost failed to make the final effort.

Easy.

Mr. Wu.

After the follow-up investigation,

we finally found out who the real murderer is.

Who is it?

The murderer is…

You.

Next, let me

briefly tell you guys what happened.

That night Tao Yu was alone

in the storage room all along.

The murderer was not in the room when you saw the "murder".

So this is not a locked room murder

in the traditional sense.

Who manipulated the shadow puppet?

Of course it was Mr. Wu.

That night at the end of the hallway,

you guys saw the shadow puppet killed him at the same time.

But actually the killer was in another room.

The principle is very simple.

It's very similar to a car's rear-view mirror.

The murderer put a big mirror

in the hallway beforehand.

Everyone was in the hallway at the time of the murder.

The murderer manipulated the shadow puppet in this room

and at the same time, the puppet's silhouette reflected off the large mirror

directly towards everyone's eyes

and created an illusion.

So you made everyone think

what they saw was the storage room at the end of the hallway.

Mirror?

You are imaginative.

I remember after everyone saw the shadow puppet murder that night,

the light went out.

Then everyone hurried towards the storage room.

Immediately after that,

the murderer quickly came out of this room,

moved the mirror here,

and then chose an opportune time

to appear in front of everyone.

This little game

made the perfect alibi for you.

Next

let's talk about the mirror.

This painting is very strange.

While it's a traditional Chinese painting,

this is a frame for Western paintings.

This made me feet strange the first time I saw it.

But I didn't know why until tonight

I asked Adou to take it down

and saw that it took him extra effort.

Then I realized

this painting

is not what it looks like.

The crowd accidentally knocked this painting in the hallway off the wall.

This should also be your doing on purpose.

There is a small hole on the wall

with a nail to hang the painting there.

Obviously someone loosened the nail before.

Why would he want to do that?

So that he could find a suitable excuse to change the painting

so as to hide the mirror.

This is nothing but your guess.

Then tell me if I have guessed right.

You need evidence to solve a case.

I'll continue my speech then.

Please think about

when was the last time you saw Tao Yu.

Before the shadow play,

Tao and Wu entered the stage to

greet the audience.

Of course Tao Yu was also there during the show.

So he was killed

after the show was over.

But it was such a short window of time

between the performance was over and they found Tao Yu dead.

You're giving me too much credit!

Be patient.

Actually from the beginning

Mr. Wu had been

the major suspect in my heart.

Why?

After the murder, the blood-stained puppet of King of Hell

was put back in the prop box.

How and where it was put

strictly followed the rules of shadow puppeteers.

A male puppet's head

cannot be put together with the body of a female', vice-versa.

And puppets can't be stored face to face.

To avoid confusion,

the murderer specially put it in the third slot.

He didn't even think about it. It has become his second nature.

So the murderer is an experienced shadow puppeteer.

But there are a dozen people in the theater

who knows shadow puppetry rules.

Yes.

But you were the only one at the scene at the time.

But it was such a short time

from Tao Yu was killed

and Mr. Wu appeared on the scene. He wouldn't have made it.

Before the show

Tao Yu was already unconscious.

How can you be sure of that?

You saw the autopsy report.

Tao Yu's body contained a high concentration of antihypertensive drugs.

With a long history of drug use he had,

his blood pressure was already low.

A high concentration of antihypertensive drugs

would lead to an instant coma.

Mr. Wu, if I was right,

in your little porcelain bottle,

is the antihypertensive drugs, right?

Yes.

But

the audience watched the whole performance.

You performed the show all by yourself.

No wonder when the audience left, someone said

Mr. Tao's voice sounded coarser that night.

His coarse voice was because he used too many drugs!

I am a man, not a god.

Singing, manipulating puppets, and playing instruments.

These are not one person's job.

But if you got help from Ge,

it was still possible for you to pull it off.

If I remember correctly,

he was an Erhu artist before, right?

Ok.

Then ask him to confront.

He is dead.

Then I can't help it.

The dead cannot give witness.

Mr. Wu.

You don't seem to be surprised by Ge's death.

There are too many things happening these days.

I'm used to anything.

I am so tired.

Let me finish the story in one breath.

You secretly drugged Tao Yu before the show

to let him fall into a coma.

Then you and Ge gave the shadow show together.

You sung and he played the instrument.

When you came to the "Meeting of Wufeng" scene,

there was a part without singing for three minutes.

You put on gloves,

dragged the victim from the backstage to the storage room.

You gagged his mouth and tied him up.

And then you put the button in his palm.

After that, you took a wooden stick with Chen Youli's fingerprints on it

to stab him to death.

Then you returned to the stage to continue the performance,

until the end.

Do you have any evidence?

The victim was wearing acrylic pants.

When you dragged him,

the trouser legs rubbed the ground and generated static electricity.

There were clothing fibers sticking to the path he was dragged along.

This kind of trace can't be removed by a mop.

But just spray it with Miphen Zosone reagent,

the fibers will change color.

This is a path

from the backstage to the crime scene.

Would you like me to demonstrate it now?

But I was not alone in the theater that night!

Ge was also at the backstage.

But only you

can make this double knot called two bowline.

If I remember correctly,

you used to be a sailor.

Only sailors know how to tie this kind of knot.

Plus as I said before,

the murderer has a profound knowledge of shadow play.

You are the only one who

meets all the conditions.

I have finished my case statement.

Do you have any questions?

Tao Yu deserved it.

He made our troupe suffer all these years.

If it were not for my persistence,

the theater would have closed a long time ago.

I just wish I did it earlier.

Why did you kill Ge?

I didn't kill him.

Who else can it be?

The bank robbers.

Mr. Wu asked Ge to follow the gang.

But they found him and killed him.

Mr. Wu, now is the part where you tell us

how you hooked up with the robbers.

I…

Just tell the truth.

Inspector Qiao might cut you a deal

and spare your life.

After I killed Tao Yu,

someone suddenly came to me in the middle of the night.

You killed Tao Yu, right?

Yes, I know everything.

As long as you

do as I say,

I won't call the police.

if you don't do it, I will kill you all.

He asked me to give all the theater staff days off.

Then they would come here every night.

No matter what they did, I couldn't ask them

or come out of my room to see.

They had something on me.

So I had to do as they said.

Since someone wanted to dig a tunnel in the theater,

why didn't they just kill him?

The murder case had not been closed.

If Mr. Wu suddenly disappeared,

they were afraid we might get suspicious.

How did you know

someone wanted to rob the vault?

A former colleague from Bank of Sassoon told me

Mr. Sassoon had sold many of his properties and

put the money into gold.

I think he wanted to leave Shanghai.

Then from the old sewer system drawing,

I found that there is a potential connection

between the bank and the theater.

It's true that the sewers of nearby buildings are all connected.

But only under the buildings of the theater and the bank of Sassoon

thick pipes were installed for flood discharge.

The pipes are large enough for people to walk in it.

At that time I started to have this evil thought.

What a ready-made opportunity to make a huge fortune!

But I realized I have to dig through the bottom first

if I want to go from the sewer to the bottom of the vault.

This is too large a project for me,

not to mention the loud noises.

So I perished this evil thought.

When I knocked on the wall,

I heard music.

Then I remembered,

that ballroom beside the bank

would have parties every night until dawn recently.

Previously they only opened on weekends.

But recently they have a party every day.

Free of entry fees and free drinks.

What ballroom can afford to do that?

Only then did I feel something was not right.

Adou also said they paid money to

buy all the security guards and patrolmen in the neighborhood.

But they would have just paid the patrolmen to look the other way.

Was it necessary to pay security guards?

Then Inspector Qiao, who is a frequent customer of ballrooms,

said that after ten o'clock

other ballrooms will start to play slow songs.

But this ballroom kept playing fast dance songs.

Only then did I realize that

the rave parties

were just to cover up

the noises their construction created.

Then I found all the trash cans in the back alley

were removed

and the debris was also cleared,

which means there may be large vehicles to enter the back alley at night.

And also

my former colleague told me

Bank of Sassoon recently ordered a cargo ship called

Istanbul.

It will be leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow.

This is a small ship.

But there are three to four hundred security guards and sailors on board.

So it must be the one carrying the gold.

So that means tonight is their last chance to rob the vault.

Does Mr. Huang get involved in it?

I won't know until we do some further digging.

Then the murder case can be closed.

Please, Mr. Wu.

Did you forget something?

What?

Chen Youli.

Shit! Guard him!

In my next life,

I'll still be a hero!

Ready?

Wait!

He is not the murderer.

The real murderer was arrested just now.

I am Qiao Chusheng,

an inspector in the Concession Police Station.

Sorry I was late, Youli.

Bastard! You did it on purpose.

Let's get you a pair of new pants first.

How is the case going?

All the people involved did not know each other.

They don't know who is behind the scenes.

They only know that he gives a very high price.

How do they contact each other then?

The mastermind would put an advertisement

on the newspapers about the missions every day.

Then with a special cipher method,

you can decipher the ads into the instructions of that day's task.

So even if they are caught,

the people behind the scene will still be very safe

But…

this doesn't seem like gangsters' style.

Mr. Bai.

The Feng-Shui of that theater is very poor.

I think Mr. Huang was so eager to acquire it

because of that batch of gold.

No. Such a highly intelligent and sophisticated job

did not come from a moron like Huang.

Besides, Huang has a very high profit from selling opium.

He won't offend Sassoon

for some petty money that he doesn't even need.

We're talking about two tons of gold.

I can only say Huang

was used as a pawn by the British people.

I hope

this can give him a lesson.

Sir. I'm sorry.

Tell me everything.

Why did you insist on buying that theater?

I will disable you if you don't tell me the truth.

At the beginning, the British found me

saying they wanted to tear down that theater

and build a new building on the original site.

But this was too sensitive for them

so they wanted us to be the middleman.

The rewards were also very generous.

I really never thought

they were up to something else.

Thanks to Qiao Chusheng that

you didn't cause a big disaster.

This settles all your old scores.

You have to treat him with respect in the future.

Sir.

These foreigners are so cunning.

Not just you,

I almost became their pawn.

Now I owe Bai seven or eight lives of his men and a boat of arms.

I don't know how to pay him back.

Don't have contact with those foreigners in the future.

I understand.

I am sorry.

Now I want to thank you.

Thanks to you,

I'm not a poor man now.

You're welcome.

You supported me before, too.

Because of that incident,

I fired you.

I actually regretted this decision later

because

you made the most money for my bank.

Can I ask you

why you transferred your assets to Hong Kong?

Diversify my investment.

Within ten years, a war will break out in China.

You should prepare a way to escape.

A way out.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Understood.

Listen to me.

I owe you a favor,

and so,

I want to give you an offer as a director of my bank.

The salary will be three times what you earn now,

plus a luxury apartment on Avenue Joffre.

I appreciate your kindness.

But I want to go abroad now

to live a peaceful life that I want.

But I'd like you to

do me a favor if you don't mind.

Only you can help me with this matter.

If this is your dream,

I will help you to make it come true.

I can't figure out

how he figured out our operation!

I told you from the beginning,

this Lu Yao is going to get us into trouble sooner or later. We need to kill him as soon as possible.

Do you understand that?

Your mercy can only hurt yourself.

Fine. I will arrange it.

Murder, explosion,

whatever. We'll get rid of him.

Go.

You!

Rest assured. I didn't hear anything.

I'll be fine, go.

Mr. Lu, you are in high spirit.

Yes, because I met a happy event.

Tell me what. We will share the happiness together.

Do you know

the gold robbery of Bank of Sasson?

I heard that.

What's going on with this case?

This case is actually quite straightforward.

Some boss learned that Mr. Sassoon

would sell his assets and put into gold for the transfer.

So he wanted to grab his gold.

He sent his men, in the name of demolition,

entrusted Chen Youli who is working for Mr. Huang

to acquire a shadow play theater.

But he actually wanted to go through the sewer of the theater

into Bank of Sassoon's vault.

It's a pity

that the acquisition plan failed.

The theater owner Wu Peiyan killed someone

and framed Chen Youli for it.

After Chen was arrested,

the boss was afraid that Concession police who came to investigate might notice something,

so he sent someone to blackmail Wu Peiyan

to let him do as they want.

And then the boss's workers worked overnight to dig through the bottom of the vault.

They even killed a concierge who followed them.

But right before these bank robbers

were about to enter the vault,

they were arrested by the heroic concession police!

Bravo!

This boss was afraid I was going to ruin his great operation,

he sent a sniper to kill me.

Such a bastard, right?

This is such a long talk.

Can you please tell me, who is that boss?

Although we failed to catch this boss,

I sorted out

some clues related to this case.

I found

Mr. Huang was entrusted by this boss

to forcefully buy this shadow play theater.

Shengle Club accepted a certain company's alcohol sponsorship

and did an event

to give free admission fee and free drinks to customers.

They partied every night for half a month.

And the newspaper those criminals

used to accept orders from their boss.

After analysis, paper and ink

are exactly the same with the newspapers

Zou Jing received in the previous stage explosion case.

We followed the newspapers to

find the printing house. We found out

the printing house and the company that sponsored the drinks

have the same owner.

And the truck that was supposed to transport the gold.

Its destination was a pier,

while the only ship

parked at that pier that night

also belongs to the mysterious boss.

What a coincidence.

Although these clues are related to me,

there is no evidence implying criminal activity.

There's nothing that can prove I've been there.

Do you think anyone can sue me in the Concession?

Of course not.

You are a concession tycoon. No one has the courage to challenge you.

But I reviewed

all the previous cases, and I realized

there are a few cases where

there were customer-made newspapers appearing in the suspects' homes.

Recorded in those newspapers

were related crime modus operandi.

Obviously,

someone wanted to induce others to commit crimes in this way.

In the Nie's murder case,

the murderer reached out from the mirror to kill.

The doctor got inspired

from something he saw in the newspaper.

And what's in it for me to kill that Chen Qiusheng?

You cooperated in drug trafficking.

Presumably you wanted to change another partner

because of some dispute over the profit carve-up.

In the tram hijacking case,

you wanted to buy the tram company's shares at a low price.

So you induced Wu Tianpeng to commit the crime.

But you didn't expect someone discovered what they did

and Wu Tianpeng killed him

in order to cover up the crime.

Immediately You wanted your henchman

to take office of Zhabei's Police chief.

So you sent someone to leak a clue to reporters.

This invisibly exerted mental pressure on the chief

and forced him to murder his colleague.

Then, in the pharmaceutical factory which you are a shareholder,

porphyria patients were instigated by you

to murder several gangsters

in order to survive.

Then in order to capture

the control over high-end art market,

you decided to destroy that rich Jewish businessman Raymond.

That was why the starving female painter

could use an extremely complex

and incredible way

to commit suicide

while "nobody" inspired her to do so.

At the same time Raymond became

the biggest suspect.

If it wasn't for me,

Raymond may have been executed.

And for the porcelain carver case,

after closing the case I found

a certain company

bought a lot of the victim's works a long time ago.

After the artist's death, the price has increased countless times.

The biggest beneficiary of this case is still Your Excellency.

Then the belfry case.

In order to let his wife lying sick in bed

see the sunset, the murderer

didn't hesitate to kill people and create public opinion

so that they would demolish the belfry.

After the case was closed,

I saw a report at the city hall.

Due to the bad influence of the case,

the land was sold at a very low price

and immediately resold to Mr. Hardoon's real estate company.

This single deal alone

got you at least five thousand silver dollars.

And the Catholic nun's murder case.

Father Angus was transferred away

and his successor was a Father Salman,

from the Diocese of Camman.

If I remember correctly,

you stayed a few years

in Kanman County, Andhra Pradesh of India.

I think Father Salman

is your old friend.

After he arrived, you acquired a large number of church properties

at an unbelievably low price.

They were resold to a Mr. Yu three months later.

You made amazing profits from it.

Then you realized

since Qiao Chusheng kept solving big cases,

Mr. Bai had been expanding his influence in the concession.

This was definitely a potential risk to you.

So something went wrong with the movie invested by Mr. Bai.

And all the clues were directed to him.

With one wrong step he took, he could be in deep trouble.

This trick is really shady.

God's Message Society Murder.

You found out that cults can accumulate wealth.

But that God's Messenger who was previously a eunuch

was cunning, greedy, and difficult to control.

So you sent someone to reveal what he did

to Li Danyi, the victim of his crime,

which led to the murder.

Later this cult just went to new places to start all over again

and has made a comeback.

Now in Beijing, Nanjing, Jiangsu and Hangzhou, there are branches of it.

The many believers make it a very lucrative business.

St George's University's Formalin murder case.

As a member of the school board,

in order to embezzle the research and development results of special effects drugs,

you put pressure

and push Liu Yansheng into a desperate state to kill people.

After that, all his research data of epidemic encephalitis

fell into your hands.

The case of the editor-in-chief of Xinyue Daily was murdered.

At that time, Qiao Chusheng and I solved many strange cases in the concession.

Xinyue Daily's follow-up report

had created the image of Chinese heroes.

You guys wanted to weaken the influence of the Chinese people in the concession.

So you started with the media.

The editor-in-chief and Chu Ming bumped into each other

and two people had a casual chat.

Tong Li not far away saw all this.

And then

you made some schemes so that Chu Ming couldn't stay in France

and he had to return to China.

And then you created "coincidence"

to let Chu Ming just return to China and the editor-in-chief,

the two enemies of Tong Li,

appear in front of her at the same time.

You used this method to trigger her

and force her to kill them both.

The ballroom murder was also thanks to you.

Liu Xiangui was a wealthy Chinese businessman.

His status in the concession was getting higher and higher

to the point that he could stand up to Mr. Bai as an equal.

Of course you must eliminate such an enemy.

And so

my distant aunt who didn't know how to do dishes

actually was able to make fruit batteries.

After the case, she told me

She got her inspiration

in an advertisement in the newspaper.

But when I got that newspaper,

I found the product in the advertisement

simply does not exist.

Murder in Liulin Apartment Building.

The victim Qian Yiru opened a foreign trade company which

almost monopolized luxury trade with Europe.

She always had the latest products with low prices.

Her competition made

counters you owned in several big department stores closed down.

So one midnight,

her maid heard a wonderful story

on the radio

about a strange case that happened in Hong Kong.

She killed her mistress with a copycat crime.

Then we surveyed all radio stations

in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas.

No one had broadcast similar content.

The case of Zhou Zhengqing, a wealthy businessman in Shanghai, struck by lightning.

You sent someone to visit him before the murder

trying to acquire the Dazhou Department Store.

After you were rejected, his servant somehow wanted to kill him.

After that we interviewed the murderer,

he had extremely severe bipolar disorder.

But the traditional Chinese antidepressant medicine he usually took

was swapped by someone.

After testing,

we found that it contained several herbs that were not supposed to be there

which led to his anger and mania.

Finally he killed his master.

Then you bought Dazhou Department Store at a low price

and resold it to Hardoon.

This deal made tens of thousands of silver dollars for you.

The murder case of Jiang Yuandao, the next Zhabei Police Chief.

Victim Shen Fengsheng

had worked with you to develop new drugs.

After the test failed,

Shen worried that the parents would create troubles, and he decided to withdraw,

so he was also killed.

Then you found Zou Ying who opened the pharmaceutical factory.

You guys made heroin and made a fortune.

It was a pity that Zou Ying used to date Mr. Bai.

As a woman who had seen the world,

she had a big appetite.

So you used her sister Zou Jing

to create this explosion step by step

while she didn't know she was incited by you.

But because Zou Jing is my ex-girlfriend,

I took this case very seriously

and investigated it more carefully.

That was the first time I had noticed those interesting newspapers.

Finally, it's time to talk about this gold robbery.

After the case was closed, I asked Lin Xiaobai to investigate.

We discovered that your company

did a lot of short-selling a few months ago.

Once the stock price took a sharp plunge,

you would soon become as rich as a king.

So these cases I solved in the concession

were all planned by you.

There's no evidence. I told you.

Who's gonna prove I did all these things?

About all the clues of your criminal activities,

I have written them into a report

and handed over to Mr. Sassoon.

I entrusted him to hand it over to

British House of Lords delegation who is now in Shanghai on an inspecting tour.

It's true no one dares to touch you in Shanghai.

But Mr. Sassoon

still carries some weight.

If he gives the evidence to the judge and jury,

and then with what you did in India,

I believe

the court will eventually give you a fair trial.

Do you know who I am?

Do you know what I've done

for the British Empire?

Since this is internal affairs of your country,

I will not participate in it.

But you take care of yourself.

Sir Norman, please come back to London with us

for further investigations.

I thought

you would have been one of us.

I don't have the guts.

My girlfriend keeps me under strict control.

She said I can't play with bad guys.

There's only one thing you have guessed wrong.

What is it?

I never sent anybody to kill you.

That's not me.

Who else can it be?

You'll find out on your own.

Mr. Bai.

Norman was just arrested.

Although he has no official position,

he's very influential in the Municipal Council.

Who dares to arrest him?

Silly Lu wrote a report exposing him.

Sassoon pulled some strings.

This time the British police directly got involved

and will bring him back to London for trial.

But London is Norman's place.

Don't worry, Sassoon will have someone to follow the whole prosecution

to make sure he will be punished this time.

The moment he wanted to touch the Jewish's money,

he signed his own death warrant.

What about Anderson in the Municipal Council?

He is still in office.

But the criminal mastermind is gone.

A humble henchman

won't be able to cause any big trouble.

And I heard he took sick leave after Norman was arrested

and hasn't appeared in the past few days.

Don't underestimate him.

After all, there are nine directors in the Municipal Council.

The United States and Germany each have one representative.

There are only two who can be counted as our ally.

The rest are potential enemies.

As long as we don't do bad things,

we are not afraid of anything.

There are 14 police stations under the Shanghai Police Department.

Our people only take control in three of them.

We have to gain a firm foothold and then expand.

We can't take it lightly because we won an insignificant battle.

Understood.

How's Lu Yao's injury?

It was just minor injury. He'll recover soon.

But we have fallen out

with the British people.

I'm afraid we will have conflicts and turmoil soon.

Maybe they both should go out of town to hide until the coast is clear?

I think so, too.

Bur if the two of them are gone,

can you solve the cases by yourself?

Norman has been caught.

Do you think there will be still many mysterious cases in the Concession?

Which one of you cooks more often?

Of course it's me.

This girl here is uncoordinated.

You are uncoordinated!

Sis, I was not used to doing chores.

But I already told my dad' maid to write down some recipes for me.

I am trying to learn.

Don't worry. I will feed your brother!

OK, come sit down and eat.

Here.

This toast is to my beloved brother,

who solved such a major case

and has made the Chinese proud!

Cheers.

Chinese people have always been an inferior existence in the Concession.

This time you made us proud.

The Hope of Chinese!

I believe when Dad knows,

he will be proud of you, too.

And so

it's better Lu Yao stay in Shanghai, right

Keep fighting against the evils.

No.

Why not?

Shanghai is not peaceful recently.

I worry about the safety of you two.

My two elder brothers are leading armies to fight in warzones.

Why don't you worry about them?

Both of them are adults.

How about you?

I'm twenty-five years old!

Yes, sis.

He might be a bit self-willed sometimes,

but overall he's quite mature.

Say no more.

We agreed before that you would leave Shanghai.

You can't go back on your word.

Have you chosen the place?

I have to arrange them to buy a house before you go.

Rue Ratard Road has developed many new Western buildings.

I mean abroad.

London, New York, Paris.

You can choose any of these places.

We are used to living in Shanghai.

We really don't want to leave.

But you have to go.

There is no room for bargaining

What if you get shot again?

I won't.

How do you know that?

After the incident, Inspector Qiao returned to the scene to investigate.

Several shots were fired that night.

The first anesthetic bullet hit me directly.

They found several warheads on the scene.

Ballistic test showed that

the bullet came from

a Lee-Enfield No. 4.

This gun has been under internal inspection.

So there is no mass production at all.

They were only used to equip

two British mobile teams stationed in North Africa and Tunisia.

I remember

your husband has a manor in Tunisia.

What are you getting at?

Nothing.

I tested the fingerprint on the shell case.

Guess what I found?

How can I guess that?

Fingerprint on the shell case

matches your driver's fingerprint.

Where did you get the fingerprint of her driver?

From her car.

His fingerprints were on the door handle.

Adou collected them for me.

Miao,

you were not afraid that the bullet might miss

and hit me on the head?

I was doing what's best for you.

If you don't listen to me,

I really can't guarantee

where the next bullet will hit you at.

I can just call the police

to arrest you right now!

Ok I'll be here waiting for them.

You call them now.

I want to see

the power of the Concession Police Station.

Fine.

Wait for it.

Silly Lu,

Silly Lu!

She just wanted to protect me.

Listen to me. Calm down!

Protect me?

By asking someone to shoot me with a gun?

If one day she really gets angry with me,

will she bombard me with a canon?

Silly Lu, Silly Lu!

As your elder sister,

what's wrong with me

for stopping you from having contacts with lowlife rascals?

You just said that I am the hope of Chinese!

Yao.

Dad was very furious

and asked me to take action as soon as possible.

But I didn't force you much

because I didn't want to hurt my little brother's feelings.

Next, you will know soon

in this era of wars,

how vulnerable

your shirtless tattooed friends are.

You threaten me?

She threatens me!

No, no.

She is just looking out for you.

Be a good boy and put the phone down.

My support for your relationship with Miss Bai

is already a big compromise I made.

Please don't challenge my patience.

I will challenge it.

What are you gonna do to me?

Very well.

Then I will show you

how this world works.

When I was born,

my mother was already quite old as a parturient woman.

She almost died because of the difficult labor.

She had been in poor health ever since.

The doctor said

her health was impaired when she gave birth to me.

My father didn't like me because of this.

He barely smiled at me since I was little.

My dad always smiles at me.

But it doesn't necessarily mean he is a god dad.

He's okay.

What's your definition of a good dad?

Understanding and respect are the very least standards.

For me these two things

are pure fantasy.

Ever since a younger age, what to do,

what to eat, what to wear, what major to study in university

and which university

were all decided by my families.

When the decision was made, they would just force me to do as they said.

If I dared to say no,

I would be either punished by on my knees for hours

or being scolded.

My father was nicer to his dogs than to me.

But you still should thank your father.

Cambridge is such a prestigious school.

And both mathematics and medicine are also good majors.

But I wanted to

go to MIT for aerospace major at that time.

They have the most advanced wind tunnel equipment in the world.

You wanted to be a pilot?

I was not interested in flying the plane.

I wanted to build airplanes more.

Or a rocket.

I wanted to make

a plane that could fly to the moon.

If anything else.

I also wanted to build a time machine.

So that I can go back to my childhood

and see my mother again.

It's still not too late for you.

If you want to learn it,

I can go with you to study in the US.

if I go abroad now,

it will be just what my sister wants.

I don't want her to think I'm intimidated by her.

You don't have to do anything in a fit of pique.

This is your life, and your choice.

Don't care too much about other people's opinions.

I just don't want to lose to my sister.

I don't want my father to think

he can still control me.

If your dad could control you,

you wouldn't have dated me.

That's true.

But, are you dating me

just to annoy your father?

The more your father forbids you to do something,

the more you want to do it?

So you chose me

just to annoy him?

Tell me. Is that the reason you date me?

I never thought about this though.

You..

You know I am not sensitive know

when it comes to feelings.

Then you think about it very carefully.

Think carefully before you tell me.

Sir!

Mr. Lu. There's a call for you.

Hello?

This is Lu Youjia speaking.

Who is this?

This is Lu Miao.

Hi, Miao.

Wait.

Why did you call the phone number here?

I can't find your father, so I can only find you first.

My dad?

He went back to Jiyang for an ancestor worship ceremony.

What's up?

How many soldiers do you have now?

Not many.

Five or six thousand.

But they are all rookies.

They're still under training and can't fight yet.

How about the equipment?

Equipment?

Just conventional rifles,

grenade or something like that.

And…

Oh, there are more than 20 Maxim machine guns.

Why? Are you starting a war?

Take some people to Shanghai

and bring Lu Yao back.
