[The Justice]

[Episode 14]

[Fumantang Grain and Oil Shop]

Mr. Lin.

What do you think of this Fumantang?

Is their business

good enough to be out of stock?

I don't think so.

I think

they are not

doing business.

What do you mean?

Think. I asked them about Wuxi Rice,

Tongli Rice

and Changshu Yiziqing.

All of them are very common

in the market.

But they said they're out of stock.

It's inconceivable that any rice shop doesn't have

those kinds of rice in stock.

So

I deliberately

asked that manager

if they have Beipu Rice.

They checked their stock and said they don't have it.

That's the problem.

There is a kind of rice called Beican Rice,

and there is another kind called Zhoupu Rice.

I grew up

in the rice shop.

In Shanghai,

there is never a kind of rice

called Beipu Rice.

That name

was totally fabricated.

Mr. Lin,

you've been a great help.

[Fu Yijiu Fu Ersan]

[Fu Mantang Fu Ersan Fu Yijiu]

[Fu Yijiu Fu Sanjiu Fu Ersan]

Yizhi,

I've heated the bath water for you.

Go take a bath.

OK.

Can you give me a rubdown?

I'm just kidding.

Hurry up.

[Abstract]

[Account Details]

The buried secret

finally came to light.

It turned out that roll of film

was related to Zhou Guangxian

and drugs.

Cheng Yizhi doesn't

feel relieved at all.

He knows that the exposure of any secret

may be related to the past hazards,

and there will be new dangers.

He can't let Lizi

get close to this secret.

What's up?

Are you still thinking about what happened to your dad?

Lizi,

I'll restore his reputation

and prove that he's innocent.

I'll

do that for you.

Why are you talking about that?

I just want you to know

I'm with you.

[Shanghai Deposit Bank]

Mr. Cheng, I believe you're here to

talk about my nephew's

pharmaceutical factory with me today.

It's really a bit of presumptuous of him to do that.

But

I'm willing to compensate Longying Private Bank

for its loss according to the contract.

Hope we can

maintain our good relationship.

Mr. Zhou,

your professionalism

is living up to its reputation.

But I'm not here to

give Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory

to you today.

You stole your nephew's

formula for Oral Analgesic

and made the drug Rejuvenating Powder secretly.

You're not an ordinary uncle.

Mr. Cheng, what are you talking about?

What formula?

What Rejuvenating Powder?

Mr. Zhou,

I don't have time to pretend

to be polite to you.

Don't you know that

you used

Fumantang Grain and Oil Shop

to change a lot of profits obtained from crimes?

Even if you keep refusing to admit,

I can ask

Richardson who's the tax officer of Municipal Council

to investigate

Fumantang Grain and Oil

Shop.

I believe he'll be very curious

to find out how a grain and oil shop

could make a fortune secretly.

Besides, after it made a fortune,

it evaded payment of many taxes.

Mr. Cheng,

have you underestimated

my power in the International Settlement?

Are you more familiar to Richardson

who's the tax officer

of Municipal Council than me?

Mr. Zhou,

you didn't just

offend the International Settlement.

Rejuvenating Powder greatly

affected the market of the opium.

Gangs are already

fed up with

the mastermind behind the Rejuvenating Powder.

If your identity is exposed,

there will be a serious consequence.

Looks like

I'm

already under your control.

You can deal with me at will.

Mr. Zhou,

I don't want to

tell your relation with the Rejuvenating Powder

to others,

including your nephew Zhou Wenquan.

But I want you to

resign as

general manager of Shanghai Deposit Bank immediately.

In the future, you can't be related

to drugs at all.

Besides,

you need to restore the previous

general manager Wu Zhifu's

reputation.

Did you come here for Wu Lizi?

Of course it's for her.

You framed him

and had him killed.

You should prove that he was innocent.

Of course I should do that.

But don't you doubt that

I killed her father?

Extra edition! Extra edition!

Extra edition of Shen Bao!

Something happened to Shanghai Deposit Bank.

Extra edition! Extra edition!

Extra edition of Shen Bao!

Something happened to Shanghai Deposit Bank.

Extra edition! Extra edition!

Something happened to Shanghai Deposit Bank.

Read this breaking news.

Extra edition of Shen Bao!

Something happened to Shanghai Deposit Bank.

You don't dare to

kill her father.

The general manager of a big bank

suddenly died.

Many depositors withdrew their money

and shareholders sold their shares.

It's no use to your

unspeakable trade.

And you can't take that consequence.

So are you willing to forgive me?

No, I'm not.

But I have to maintain

your public image.

Shanghai Deposit Bank

has already suffered a serious setback.

If there is a shocking scandal about it,

it'll go bankrupt.

But those depositors are innocent.

They shouldn't lose their money for that.

As the son-in-law

of Wu Zhifu, you're great.

I'd like to consider that as

your praise for me.

Besides,

I don't want to terminate

our cooperation with Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory.

Please call

Zhou Wenquan now

and cancel your previous order for him.

I can't do that.

Why?

You really don't know

how Wu Zhifu died, right?

Do you know?

Mr. Cheng.

Don't make my nephew

related to Persian Red

and Dianchuan Aroma.

General manager.

Hurry up! Look!

There is a new extra edition of Shen Bao.

It's written that Shanghai Deposit Bank

made the drug Rejuvenating Powder secretly.

And you were mentioned.

They said you're the mastermind.

Look. It's here.

What happened downstairs?

[General Manager's Office]

[Arrest Warrant]

General Manager Zhou Guangxian of Shanghai Deposit Bank,

you're suspected of making and selling drugs.

Now you'll be taken into custody by Smoking Regulating Department.

And you'll be on trail.

Please come with us.

[General Manager Zhou Guangxian of Shanghai Deposit Bank Made the Drug Rejuvenating Powder secretly]

Manager, this...

Have you told anyone that

we're investigating Zhou Guangxian

for making and selling Rejuvenating Powder?

You know me.

I won't tell anyone about

what you don't want me to say.

Manager,

I found that besides us,

Shanghai Deposit Bank

is also investigating.

This newspaper

not only exposed Zhou Guangxian's

drug production and money laundering

completely

but also rehabilitate the previous general manager

Wu Zhifu.

Where are you going?

I'm going to tell the great news to my wife.

Her father was proved to be innocent.

[Manager's Office]

Yes. I believe she'll be happy

after knowing that.

[Notice of Public Offering of Shanghai Deposit Bank]

Yizhi,

are you hungry?

Whenever my dad

worked at night,

I made late night meal for him.

[Fu Mantang Fu Ersan Fu Yijiu]

Gui,

go there with Mrs. Wang.

Don't forget to buy

the things I need.

Yes, madam.

Besides, Mrs. Wang,

go to that

Ningbo Tangyuan Shop

and buy a piece of Rice Cake.

Yizhi, you're home.

OK. We gotta go.

Go.

Master.

Go now.

You came back so early.

Did you read Shen Bao?

They rehabilitated my dad.

Let's celebrate together

today.

Just now, I asked Mrs. Wang

to buy a bottle of

10-Year-Old Taidiao for me.

I want to drink wine today.

What's wrong?

[Shen Bao]

When on earth will you stop pretending?

Did you touch the stuff

in my study?

Did you give it to

the journalist of Shen Bao?

Yes.

Did I do anything wrong?

Yizhi, you told me that

you wanted to help me, right?

You'll rehabilitate my dad as a banker.

You'll restore his reputation.

Yes, I did say that.

But I also told you

I would handle that.

But there is no difference

in the results.

We're together, right?

We're together.

Then why did you secretly...

Well, Yizhi,

I know I was wrong.

I won't do that again.

I'll tell you

everything in advance. OK?

Lizi.

Stop being mad at me. OK?

Lizi, what am I to you?

Am I a tool to you?

Do you know what you are talking about?

Do you know what you are doing?

Cheng Yizhi,

since you said that,

let me put it straightforwardly.

Just now, you said that

you really love me.

Then why did you

do nothing?

You know that

Zhou Guangxian made and sold Rejuvenating Powder.

You also know that

he used the grain and oil shop

for money laundering.

But you didn't do anything.

I was waiting for you every day.

Even...

Even if you did a small job...

But you didn't do anything.

I'm doing that.

I'm going to do that

in my way.

I won't be rude and reckless

like you.

You asked Shen Bao to issue an extra edition.

It'll only ruin Shanghai Deposit Bank

totally.

Your father devoted all his life

to Shanghai Deposit Bank.

When my father died,

Shanghai Deposit Bank also died.

As a financial institution, it committed crimes.

A bank like that

should be ruined totally.

Cheng Yizhi,

don't let it be your excuse.

You know about

why you protected Zhou Guangxian.

Did I protect Zhou Guangxian?

Not long ago you loaned a lot of money

to Lecturer Zhou Wenquan

to help him build the pharmaceutical factory.

How can you

let his uncle

fall from power now?

You won't do that.

Choosing to

be such a bad guy

will make you suffer a great loss.

Did you

investigate me?

Lizi,

you don't trust me.

Answer my question!

If you didn't

blame me just now,

I would trust you.

Because

Cheng Yizhi blamed Lizi angrily,

she's at a loss.

If he was guilty,

he wouldn't be so mad.

"Was I wrong?

Did I misunderstand him?

Was I impatient?"

If she gave Cheng Yizhi

more time,

would he really

keep his promise?

[Shanghai Deposit Bank]

Return my money!

Return my money!

Return my money!

Return my money!

Return my money!

Mr. Huang,

why are you here?

Without you,

I wouldn't be elected

as the director of General Chamber of Commerce, Secretary Feng.

Today I want to express my gratitude to you here.

But you don't need to

go by the name of Cheng Yizhi.

It's important to know our own limits.

If today I

used my own name to invite you,

I don't think you would come here.

But

as Cheng Yizhi's elder,

I'd like to apologize to you for his mistake first.

Mr. Huang, why did you say that?

You never want to establish a relationship with me.

But you tried your best to support me.

It's obvious that

you like Cheng Yizhi so much.

Cheng Yizhi is young,

inexperienced

and unsophisticated.

I'm afraid that he doesn't know

how valuable your admiration for him is.

Maybe he even doesn't know

he should spare no effort to repay you for your admiration.

[Shanghai Deposit Bank]

Cheng Yizhi is worried that

Shanghai Deposit Bank will go bankrupt.

Zhou Guangxian deserves to be punished,

but his meaningful words

are always lingering in Cheng Yizhi's mind.

Persian Red.

Dianchuan Aroma.

Zhou Guangxian.

What on earth are they hinting at?

The Northern Expedition has already lasted some time.

This year the National Government of the Republic of China declared that

the tariff autonomy should be recovered.

They created the Customs Administration, Ministry of Finance.

They want to take over the customs affairs.

Secretary Feng,

you're from the Inspector-General of Chinese Maritime Customs Service.

I believe you know that action, right?

You're not willing to wait and see what will happen, right?

Mr. Huang,

are you implying that ship has sailed?

No, I'm not.

Although the National Government of the Republic of China declared that

the tariff autonomy should be recovered,

now,

the tariff is still in the control of

International Banking Committee.

That means the power of the Inspector-General of Chinese Maritime Customs Service

still remains.

Secretary Feng, you're still powerful.

But it'll change

soon.

You also know that.

I think

you'll also make some preparations for that, right?

Mr. Huang, please let me know.

In the Inspector-General of Chinese Maritime Customs Service,

you have a senior post.

You're very experienced in taxation,

and you have a lot of connections.

The National Revolutionary Army

values both of them.

If you can take the opportunity

to join the Chinese Nationalist Party,

your career will be incredibly promising.

Well, Mr. Huang,

are you returning the favor

for Cheng Yizhi?

I already regard Cheng as my own son,

so of course I should offer an apology

for him.

We both will be so glad to work for you.

Could you allow that?

Great.

No wonder Cheng Yizhi is so bright.

It's because of

your cultivation.

For our future!

Secretary Feng,

we can't wait any more.

[General Manager Zhou Guangxian of Shanghai Deposit Bank Made the Drug Rejuvenating Powder secretly]

Director Zhou.

Hello, director Zhou.

Hi, Mr. Cheng.

Please sit down.

You must be so painful

for your uncle, right?

I am to blame.

Uncle always hoped to cultivate me

into a successful businessman.

But I just went on my own way to chemistry.

I invent pain killers,

bringing disaster for him though.

It's my fault.

You are not to blame.

It must be someone who harmed him.

Mr. Zhou,

as a renowned banker in Shanghai,

surprisingly disregarded his work ethics

and moral ethics,

for making profits by selling your painkillers

as drugs.

What a huge contrast of him.

I don't know

whom he often met

or whether he was influenced by someone.

But his friends are almost

gentlemen and scholars.

Did he contact any gangs before?

No, he despised them,

for they are all mindless

executioners.

But there is a rumor

in the financial circle

saying that Mr. Zhou

has something to do with

Persian Red and Dianchuan Aroma.

Do you hear about that?

What are they?

They are opium actually.

It seems that Mr. Zhou

was involved with drugs

long ago.

Mr. Cheng, I...

Will my uncle be sentenced to death?

We all know the harm

brought by Rejuvenating Powder.

So it is impossible for him to get off.

Mr. Zhou,

I understand what you feel now,

but I'm more concerned about

how you raise funds

for Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory.

Uncle

was finally willing to support my career

and helped me to get the loan from Shanghai Deposit Bank.

Though surprised,

I was relieved.

But I didn't expect such result now.

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory

hasn't cooperated with

Shanghai Deposit Bank yet.

Nor the termination agreement

with Longying Private Bank

is ineffective.

Mr. Cheng!

Longying Private Bank

will be always at your back.

But I...

I didn't expect for your support.

You are still willing to accept me.

Welcome home.

[Jing'an Branch of Longying Private Bank]

It's dinner time.

Had it not been his query

about Lizi,

this dinner would be cheerful as usual.

Or even as Lizi said,

they would have a drink of

the 10-year-old Taidiao together.

Just several months ago,

these could satisfy Cheng Yizhi.

But now,

as he knew the real Lizi,

he couldn’t accept

any false love.

Bro.

What are you thinking about?

This is a gift prepared for landlady by all staff

from Jing'an Branch.

Have a look.

Landlady's father is proved innocent this time,

so we'd like to congratulate her.

Then I just help her to accept it.

Thank you for you all.

How about this necklace? Is it beautiful?

It is picked by my darling nurse.

She said

it suited

lady like our landlady.

When did you know

another nurse?

When I was investigating Rejuvenating Powder,

I went to Ren'an Pharmacy

for several times,

so we got familiar.

Alright, Heart-shaped Face,

it's still no end for Rejuvenating Powder.

You have to go on with its investigation.

Sir,

do you get the Big Persia?

Twenty for one but twelve for a half.

I'd like a thousand

in the afternoon the day after tomorrow.

Sorry, I can't supply you.

What's wrong?

Didn't you hear about Gang of Dai, before?

Of course

I heard about you.

But the Big Persia

can't be sold easily.

Are you afraid of the Persian Red?

The quantity you asked is not a small one.

In the market,

such quantity can't be called as large.

Big Persia, Small Persia,

Local Persia or Foreign Persia are all sold everywhere.

Can they manage all these deals?

But with such large quantity and limited time,

if...

If you can make it,

take this 3, 000 firstly,

the rest 13, 000 will be given to you once I get what I want.

No problem.

Congratulations on your successful revenge.

Excuse me.

Please enjoy yourself.

What's wrong?

You look unhappy.

Cheng confronted me with the newspaper.

How about pampering him?

No, he is angry indeed.

It is he

who hasn't shared information with us.

How could he have the right to be angry?

I am wondering

whether I misunderstood him.

If I hadn't published it in Shen Bao,

he may

have a better solution.

So you are...

We're not on speaking terms.

Why?

You need to talk with each other.

Listen,

now Zhou Guangxian has been caught.

Help me find him.

Zhou Guangxian is detained by Smoking Regulating Department,

but he is transferred

to a secret place.

I need to find that place

so that I can see Zhou Guangxian.

Lizi,

Zhou Guangxian

is an outcast now.

He can't threaten you.

Why

do you insist on seeing him again?

You...

Do you want to kill him in person?

Charlie, you are smart.

So do you think

it's Zhou who killed my father?

The fund shortage of Shanghai Deposit Bank

is caused by

the sudden death of the general manager.

Zhou Guangxian must have predicted that,

but he still tried to

pick up the pieces

by raising funds.

So it is proved that

he didn't expect my father's death.

He raised funds everywhere.

It may just for

scaling up drug manufacturing

so as to make profits.

It's too odd.

If Zhou Guangxian

did want to make profits,

why did he choose drugs?

Profits from opium

has been the focus

of gangs.

Any outsiders involved in it

will be killed.

It's not an easy deal.

Someone must be guided

to make this business.

So you mean...

That person...

is the real murderer.

The business of Atlantic Club is on the line.

As the head of the club,

you must deal with it.

Master,

I have got an idea.

May I...

Come in.

Master,

since the opening

of gambling house on Bixun Road,

Atlantic Club has lost many customers.

It is because of

the similarities between these two clubs.

So the same customers are snatched to

internal competition actually.

Could you allow me

to shape

them differently?

Sounds reasonable.

Do as what you said.

Yes.

Leizi, wait.

What else can I do for you, master?

If you have any doubts,

just say it.

As I said before,

you're an old hand.

If you deem that

I think little of you,

you are

definitely wrong.

Master.

You are confused

why I asked Cheng Yizhi

to loan to Zhou Wenquan's Pharmaceutical Factory

who had been investigated by you

as the producer of Rejuvenating Powder.

Master, for this matter,

I don't understand.

You are promising,

so you can't be too short-sighted.

Do you hear a saying that "try peaceful means before resorting to force"?

That's what we did for Zhou Wenquan.

Get it?

Yes.

Okay.

It's too late.

Wanna a potluck with me?

We haven't had a meal together.

Master, madam.

Please drink the soup before it gets cold.

Okay.

Mrs. Wang,

I have had enough.

Okay.

Me too, Mrs. Wang.

[Fenji Branch]

[Heyi Branch]

Get on.

You go first.

I will go for Mr. Lei.

[Heyi Branch]

Here.

That way please.

[Heyi Branch]

Everybody,

at the end of the year,

those who have financial difficulties

or have run out of food

needn't to be so worried.

Longying Private Bank

has prepared food for you.

Mr. Huang can ensure

you have enough food.

Those who have to care for elders

or raise children can get double portion.

Thank you, master Huang.

Take care.

Take it easy.

Thanks, Mr. Huang.

Thank you so much.

Cheng Yizhi can't listen clearly

what they are talking.

But it is clear that

Lei Daming is taking credit

for exaggerating

what his underling just reported to him.

It's hard for Cheng Yizhi to believe

master has something to do with Persian Red.

He told himself maybe he is oversensitive.

What they are talking

may not about Persian Red.

But master's expression when nodding

shows everything.

Mrs. Wang.

Yes, master.

Mrs. Wang,

where is madam?

Madam just called,

saying she was playing Mahjong

with madam Song in Shanghai Cafe

and Madam Song didn’t let her go,

so she may come back late.

Okay.

Mrs. Wang, good night.

Good night.

Mr. Cheng,

did you hear the episode

in General Chamber of Commerce?

Mr. Huang delivered a speech

in General Chamber of Commerce

to congratulate beforehand

on the successful development of anti-tuberculosis medicine.

That caused

whispers everywhere.

This nitty-gritty

almost frightens

Cheng Yizhi.

He suddenly has a horrific guess.

Master never

wants to make friends with Zhou Wenquan.

Even agreeing on the loan to

Zhou Wenquan's Pharmaceutical Factory,

his purpose is not for developing medicines.

Zhou Wenquan is in danger.

Okay, class is over.

[Fictional Silver]

[Currency in Circulation]

Hi, Yizhi.

Last time when I visited your home,

you treated me unkindly.

But until now,

I have understood

what you meant then.

I go astray indeed.

Not only myself,

but I take others on the wrong path.

I don't know

what I should do.

You are regretful

but you don't know how to remedy that,

right?

Though you don't

reveal everything,

I can more or less

understand your feelings now.

I only have one suggestion for you.

Please do not find any excuse

for your wrong path.

Since you know that's a wrong path,

you must face the reality

and restart your life.

Maybe

it's quite hard for you,

but that's the only method.

If you have enough courage,

you are sure to remedy

your mistakes.

Get it.

Director Zhou,

how long

can you adjust

all accounts of Pharmaceutical Factory?

Adjust accounts?

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory

must pay off all the debts

to Longying Private Bank as soon as possible.

But don't worry,

I will help you to get the loan

from other institutions.

[Termination Agreement for Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory]

Mr. Cheng,

did I invest too much

into my experiment?

But we have made progress

in antisepsis.

Director Zhou,

I separate Pharmaceutical Factory from Longying Private Bank

not for

your high investment,

the reason behind it

cannot be

told to you.

But please trust me.

This decision

is for your own good.

It's also good for Pharmaceutical Factory.

So please check

this contract soon.

I hope you...

Ms. Lan asked you to go to Huang Residence,

as the Elder Master got shot.

Director Zhou, please be quick.

Okay.

Let's go.

How could he shoot master?

I will kill him.

Kill him.

He is our master.

How could he?

What are you doing?

Ms. Lan.

What's the sense of quarreling now?

What were you doing then?

I'd like to revenge for master.

Stop there.

Are you allowed by me?

Ms. Lan, is master okay now?

Listen carefully.

Master is better now,

but he still needs some rest.

So these days,

mind your own business.

Wise up

and shut up.

Master's injury

can't be leaked out.

If anyone turns a deaf ear to what I said just now,

this isn't the end.

Yes, Ms. Lan.

Go on with your work.

Madam,

Mr. Cheng and Madam Cheng are coming.

Ms. Lan.

Come in.

Master is waiting for you.

Master, I have strapped it up.

You still need some rest.

Go on with your work.

Mater.

Master.

Master, are you okay?

Could you allow me to kill Luo Rengu?

Do you mean general Luo?

Did you call him general?

He is a lunatic.

Master, within three days,

I will kill him in person.

Within three days,

you may be killed by others.

Put your gun down.

Master,

why did general Luo shoot you?

He didn't deserve the title of general.

General Luo is from the regular army,

whose Yizhong Company

earns good reputation.

General Luo is not an incapable

nor impolite person.

Is there any misunderstanding

between you two?

Cheng Yizhi,

are you crazy?

Is Luo Rengu

really a good person as you thought?

As it's inconvenient for me to ask it,

could you allow me to leave here?

Yizhi, wait.

Mater, I am at your service at any time.

I'm waiting for your order downstairs.
