[Hello Procurator]

[Episode 17]

He hides again.

"Drift for you."

He is able to write lyrics and compose.

Those were all written by Ye Ze?

Quite talented.

What's the use of talent?

He writes good lyrics.

But he escapes from problems.

Han Lu told me

that he really likes to act like a super star.

He loses his temper easily

and is rude to the media.

In my opinion,

idol's impact on fans

lies not only on his art work,

but also on his manners

in daily life.

Whether he is responsible, up-right

and friendly with others matters.

What do you think?

I agree.

Having talent in composition

but no manner in life

makes him

unworthy of being appreciated.

Here.

Great lawyer. Have some tea first.

I didn't expect that

Ye Ze has appointed

the famous Mr. Ren.

It's wasting your talent on a petty job.

Mr. Zhang.

I don't differentiate my cases.

Honestly,

I really appreciate your

professional attitude to work.

Here's the thing.

You have introduced a lot

about Ye Ze.

Things are quite similar

with what I learned on the Internet.

I come here today to figure out

whether he has any enemy

in the industry.

Enemy?

I mean,

when he takes part in some

variety shows

and film and television programs,

is there any competitor?

It's hard to say.

Competition

is normal in the industry.

Without competition,

there can't be positive

development for the industry.

Am I right?

Everyone is facing

comparison and being weeded out all the time.

Ye Ze

is a very lucky guy.

He has beaten many people along the way.

So if you ask whether he

has offended anyone for this.

It seems there are a lot.

I see.

But the vicious comments on him

on the Internet

are obviously organized

and contrived.

It's not done by ordinary people.

So this time I

want to know about

the targeted inside stories

which is known

only by people within the industry.

Let me think about it.

I can't think of anything

all in the sudden.

Actually, we have been carefully

defend Ye Ze's public image.

Ye Ze's economic contracts

and lots of interviews

are all decided by us.

We pay attention to

healthy competition.

I don't know much

about the industry.

Is there any

artist who equals

his publicity.

There are a lot.

Not to mention others.

There are lots of talented people

right in our own company.

We have an artist called Bai Tian,

who is also a predecessor

close to Ye Ze.

He is also very talented.

Mr. Zhang,

did the company

take any crisis management

after the serious affair?

Yes.

Of course we did.

It's just we're too busy recently

and haven't been able to cover it.

You leave alone

such a milch cow.

It seems the company has

a lot of works to do.

The focus is the development as a complete unit.

Complete unit.

Come. Come. Come.

Enjoy your tea.

OK.

Keep in contact.

Director Yu.

What's wrong?

Zhang Haolun has released

Ye Ze's assistant

after the inquiry.

The assistant promised to

arrange an appointment with Ye as soon as possible.

Good.

Zhang Haolun has found

the three necessary seals

of Ye Ze's Studio

at another house of Luo Dongping.

It means that Ye Ze

is not in charge of the firm's account.

And there are also evidence showing

Ye Ze was shooting for drama abroad

during Luo's illegal fund raising.

It seems that Ye Ze has not

participated in it directly.

But the possibility can't be eliminated completely.

Keep in close contact with his assistant.

Make sure we can meet Ye Ze as soon as possible.

[People's Procuratorate of Xinzhou]

[Law of the People's Republic of China]

The notice comes out so fast.

What's it? Let me see.

The shortlist for

"Top Ten Procurators of The City".

Good for you. Pan Xiaoli.

You got nominated.

Brilliant.

It's no big deal.

I'm just a nominee.

It's pretty good to be a nominee.

Don't be so greedy.

Treat me a big meal please.

Please.

I want you to look at it

carefully please.

Jiang Wenjing.

She is in the shortlist, too.

Jiang Wenjing

is always outstanding.

It's normal for her to get nominated.

But for you,

it means a great challenge.

Based on what I know,

Jiang Wenjing never loses

in debating.

We belong to the same department.

Whoever wins is the same.

We've got double insurance.

Han Lu.

Han Lu, the student of Director Yu.

You'll battle with her.

This Han Lu

was A student

with no equal in her age.

You're talking like

I was not A student.

I've been really good

at taking exams.

No equal in her age?

Just let she wait for me.

OK.

Then I'll go cheering you up

at the site.

Go there to watch carefully

how I beat her up.

[China Dream Procurator Dream]

Honey.

Check this out.

The title of the article

is so mean.

"Evil Lawyer and Immoral Procurator"

"Connived with Each Other"

That's totally nonsense.

It will bring great influence

on the career of our daughter.

Moreover,

our Wen Jing...

Moreover,

it was the incident

one year ago.

Ren Tianyu has been missing.

He has nothing

to do with Wenjing.

Am I right?

- Let me tell you... - I'm here.

Honey.

Take a look.

It's bad. Listen to me.

Be quick.

You have to find people

to withdraw the article quickly.

Withdraw.

Withdraw?

Why bother withdrawing it?

It is exactly

the benefit of her being a procurator.

I'll let her reflect on herself.

Who told her not to listen to me?

Honey.

You can't leave it alone.

You have to help our kid,

right?

Look at those rumors on the Internet.

Those fake news

will also bring negative influence on our family.

The article

must have something

to do with Ren Tianyu.

No matter whom it has to do with,

we have to fix it

as soon as possible.

If we don't...

Who would write the old story

one year ago?

I can't understand

the trick anymore.

But Jiang Wenjing

is really unlucky.

I heard that she just got nominated

as the top ten procurators.

The news breaks out at the moment.

It will destroy her career.

You care about her so much.

How can I be caring about her?

You are the one I care about.

The article seems like it's

about her.

But the finger points at you.

Does the author

hate you two at the same time?

You are so clever.

Can't you know who it is?

Sun Chao.

But he should find trouble with me.

No hurry.

I'm not afraid of him.

You get popular.

Thank you for that.

The immortal procurator

intended to frame up an innocent teenager

cooperating with...

Let me see.

The incident happens at the moment.

What are you going to do?

What can I do?

It's so unlucky.

Don't know whether it will influence

your qualification to be one of the top ten procurators.

The report says

you are a pretty procurator.

Did you write the

article by yourself?

I wrote it to insult myself?

Let alone the picture

that is from many years ago,

the school bullying case

has been revealed too.

It said I

guided public opinion maliciously,

tried to help exonerating the rich guy's son

and intended to hurt

the victim Wu Bowen.

What are these?

All nonsense.

The one who did it

is quite resourceful

and seems to know everything.

He even writes down

the whole process of the case

about Li Mingqi and Wu Bowen.

He is

a person who is clear about the case.

I'm full.

Take your time.

Director Yin,

you have something to tell me?

About the case of Wu Bowen,

I know you didn't make any mistake.

But after the report came out,

it's quite sensitive.

Your years of service are not long enough.

I bid for the chance

of you joining in the competition

with Director Yu.

But the affair happened,

I'm afraid you

have to quit the

competition for the top ten procurators.

Can you take that?

Yes.

OK. That's it.

I just want to tell you

about this.

Anyway, thank you, Director Yin.

Off you go.

Did you make the appointment with the assistant

at 2 in the afternoon?

Yes. 2 pm.

It's 15 minutes late.

It seems the comments on the Internet are right.

He is always late.

Wait for a little longer.

Maybe there is a traffic jam.

[Only for Case Handling]

Director Yu, are you very cold?

I'm fine.

Ye Ze.

I'm Yu Kaiyin from No. 3 Procuratorial Department

of People's Procuratorate of Xinzhou.

Hello.

Come in.

Mr. Ren, here's the materials you need.

I've interviewed some

investors who worked with Ye Ze.

[Ye Ze Cooperation Investors] They all think

[Ye Ze Cooperation Investors] Ye Ze

always acts like a superstar

and

is very arrogant.

Even when he faces the media,

he never covers

his arrogance.

What we see

is what Ye Ze wants to

show others.

It's the way he protects himself.

In fact,

he thinks he can pretend

as he doesn't care about anything.

By this way, he can avoid

to be hurt by the world.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What did the doctor say?

Why hasn't he woken up yet?

You think doctors can do everything?

They can't decide when patients will wake up.

I can't win you verbally.

About the top ten procurators.

I've heard about it.

You will have another chance.

Don't comfort me.

I'm fine.

It's OK to lose it.

It's not a big deal.

I don't think you

look like you're fine.

How nagging you are. Leave me alone.

He's awake.

Watch him carefully for me.

I'll go get the doctor.

Thank you. Take your drink please.

Here's the drink.

Take it.

If you don't like it,

we can change it for you.

It's so polite of you.

The practicing room

has been years.

The first time I came here

was about 10 years ago.

To be honest,

you are quite different from my imagination.

Have I disappointed you?

I trust what I've seen.

Thank you.

What does Director Yu want to ask?

Just ask me.

I'll definitely answer them honestly.

OK.

Han Lu.

The case has been put on record

with the early interference of the procuratorate.

According to the police,

they have failed to contact you.

So we tried to find you.

What are you doing?

Why are you recording the conversation?

You have promised

that we'll just have a talk.

If you behave like this,

I'll bring our lawyer

to talk to you.

Ye, mind your words.

Don't be nervous.

This is not an inquiry.

We

just want to learn the situation.

Hope you can tell the truth.

OK.

The funds were collected to the studio's account.

Do you have the three necessary seals of the studio?

No.

Which seal do you have?

I don't have any.

But you have been there

during the registration of the company.

I've signed once

at the very beginning.

During Luo Dongping's illegal fund raising,

where were you? What were you doing?

I was abroad.

Any evidence can prove that?

I can prove that!

Our Ye has been

shooting abroad for couple of months.

The whole crew

can prove it.

During your shooting abroad,

have you noticed any

abnormal behavior of Luo Dongping?

No.

OK. I got it.

Director Yu, we have a situation here.

We have to leave right now.

Mr. Ren.

He comes to talk to Ye Ze, too?

Maybe he's Ye Ze's lawyer.

Recently Ye Ze

has been criticized by rumors on the Internet.

I don't think that's all rumors.

After all, there are no waves without wind.

[Emergency Department. Inpatient Department]

[Inpatient Department]

Director Yu.

Director Yu. Luo Dongping is awake.

Doctor is checking his condition.

Can he be inquired?

Although he is awake,

it is not suitable to inquire right now.

When can we take the inquiry?

Here we go,

I'll stay here waiting.

When Luo Dongping is

able to take the inquiry,

I'll take his statement

as soon as possible.

Cool.

Call me then.

I'll come over to listen.

Got it.

With Director Yu' help,

I feel relaxed a lot.

The case can finally work out.

Don't be so sure.

It depends on what he says.

Han Lu,

you go with Mr. Zhang

to bring all file materials

of Luo Dongping

later.

Got it.

Ye Ze,

it's me.

I'm your lawyer

Ren Tianyu.

Hello.

Say it directly if there's

anything you want me to do.

Recently there are

lots of vicious comments online

targeted at you.

The range is wide.

And it's hard to investigate

because there's too much information.

So right now, I need to

find one point or some points

on which we can

fight back.

I need you to give me a name list.

Who do you think is probably

doing bad to you?

List all their names.

So many people hate me.

How can I know who is that?

Yes.

If our Ye knows it,

why do we need you?

You can choose not to do it.

You don't pay

for lawyer anyway.

If you can hide

until the publicity of the topic drops,

I can save my time.

But there's a thing

that I have to remind you.

The whole thing

is caused by

the case of your agent.

Do you have any idea about the amount of money

he defrauded in the name of you?

Do you know who

has been defrauded by him?

They are all your fans.

Most of

them are

still students.

They don't have the capacity

to make a living.

In other words,

he has defrauded

the money from kids' families.

You can choose not

to help with my work.

Your fans

may forgive you.

But what about their family members?

Do you think they will forgive you?

Then let them work out

how much it is.

I'll give the money back to them.

Can you afford to do it?

Even if you make it even

financially one day.

How about emotionally?

I heard you claims to be

the most caring to your fans.

I believe you have your own idol.

If one day

everyone tells you that

your idol is actually

a liar,

how are you going to face them?

So right now,

it's not your personal choice

whether to cope with me or not.

People you should feel guilty for

are your fans.

Alright.

Think carefully yourself.

Once decided,

let your assistant contact me.

Hold on.

Does proving me not guilty

mean Luo Dongping will

take all the responsibilities?

Have you been involved in it?

No, I'm not.

You for sure?

Believe it or not.

You didn't do it

so you don't have to carry it for him.

Cheating in the name of you.

You have shown extremely forbearance

not to sue him.

Mr. Ren,

you are such a good lawyer.

I checked it online.

We have lots of investors

cooperating with you.

Ratings are mixed.

But I have concluded one thing.

You stop at nothing.

You focus on my weaknesses

to make me freak out

so I'll cooperate with you.

That's also "stop at nothing".

It works.

I almost broke down.

But do you understand

what true friendship is?

First of all,

thank you for your

compliment.

But you two

did make me laugh.

He has done that to you.

Is he a friend?

He is my old brother.

What? Why are you laughing?

What's so funny?

I'm sorry.

I can't help myself.

I don't care what mistake he has made.

At least he used to help me sincerely.

It's him

who was there with me

when I had nothing.

It's him who pulled me out

from the darkness.

Even if everyone

thinks how evil he is,

I don't want to believe he is bad.

I’d rather believe that

he just made a mistake

and made the wrong choice.

I'm willing to undertake the

responsibility of the case with him.

You'll never understand

the feeling.

Yes.

I don't understand.

I don't understand why

he pulled you out of the darkness

and then pushed you back by himself.

Do you think you are still friends

if you don't sue him?

Procurator's office interfered with

the case initiatively.

They put emphasis on it.

Even if the two of you

don't cooperate with me,

the investigation of the police won't stop.

And the curse to you on the Internet

and the suppression of your enemy

won't stop.

And things won't stop

getting worse.

Who will get hurt at the end

is only you

and your fans

who have already become victims.

What you're doing

can't help your so-called brother.

It will just hurt

your fans for a second time.

I'm not clear about the

rules in the entertaining industry.

If your agency

leaves you alone

and gives you up,

are you still able to make money to pay back?

How come?

The one who appoints me

is not from your company.

It's your counterpart

Zhongyi Group.

Isn't it obvious?

I will pay back

all the money he defrauded.

Even if you paid back

all the money,

he will still be sued

and sentenced.

Maybe milder.

From life sentence

to set term of imprisonment.

It doesn't matter.

As long as he can be released one day.

Ye. Ye.

Don't eat instant noodles.

It's bad for your health.

Here. Have this.

Bro, you treat me so well.

Ye.

There will be a

10th anniversary ceremony

of a venue at the east of the city.

Let's prepare for that.

But the company

won't allow my debut.

The company thinks

you're not prepared yet.

So they don't give you the resources.

But we can

strive for it.

Listen to me.

Let's perform well

at the venue.

And I'll help you

to strive for the chance of the music festival.

We can prove to the executives

with your ability

that our Ye

is better than others.

Come on.

[Depart from the Heaven By: Ye Ze]

No. No.

Yeah.

I find something wrong, too.

It sounds weird.

Add a tone here.

Make it rhythmic.

Let me try it.

Still not good.

We should put the stress

on the first, fourth

and seventh tempo.

Let me try it.

That's the thing.

I know our Ye

is the best.

Go on.

OK.

Please check how much money

do I have in my account.

Good.

Take them out.

Yes. All of them.

[Ye Ze]

Ye Ze?

Mr. Zhang.

Why are you here?

I want to ask you for a favor.

Tell me quickly.

You have known about

the recent affair.

I want the company

help me to count

the amount of the cheated fans.

Also,

I hope the company

can help me to organize a meeting.

I...

I want to pay them back.

Are you insane?

You are confessing your crime.

Right now what you should do

is to hide

and to apologize on Weibo

after the publicity drops.

Fans won't mind it.

Besides, you're not the one arrested by the police.

Why would you pay them back?

I have to do it.

Let me ask you,

did you owe the debt?

No.

But they got cheated

because of me.

So it's my obligation

to apologize to them.

That's your obligation,

not the company's.

The company don't have to pay them

nor help you pay them.

You'll bite off your own head.

I'm innocent and I'm not afraid.

The company won't get influenced.

I don't care if

you are innocent or not.

Anyway,

it is Luo Dongping who will get arrested.

Just say everything

is done by him.

And that's it.

Mr. Zhang. I didn't expect

you will say that.

You really impress me.

Even if you can't

provide timely help,

at least don't kick him when he's down.

I'm not kicking him when he's down.

Did I set up

Luo Dongping for this?

The company is not

for Luo Dongping.

The problems he caused

should be solved by himself.

[Star Dream Entertainment]

Alright.

It's okay if the company won't show up.

Then can you consider signing

a ten-year or longer

contract with me?

What do you mean?

Why?

I want to get an advance on my salary.

As for the contract.

I happened to want to talk with you.

Your contract is almost due.

However,

the company is

facing lots of problems recently.

The music market is

not so good now.

Lots of freshmen are

hoping to show themselves.

I think maybe we should

put off signing the contract.

Alright.

Then please give me

the down payment of

the commercial contract

I signed before.

The commercial

has replaced you.

I'm sorry.

I forgot to tell you.

Alright.

Alright.

[People's Procuratorate of Xinzhou]

[People's Procuratorate of Xinzhou]

Is there any news

from Public Security Hospital

about when we can

inquire Luo Dongping?

I called Mr. Zhang again

in the morning.

He said that the situation is not stable yet.

What about the work

with the victims?

Mr. Zhang had post

notice on the Internet

calling on victims to report cases.

They have also arranged policemen from police station

to receive the victims' materials

and make transcripts.

Until now,

there are over 6000 victims

who have come to report cases.

Luo Dongping,

in the name of supporting Ye Ze's new drama,

cheated fans to invest on Ye Ze

and promised to apply the money in the shooting

and advertisement.

After the debut of drama,

he promised to pay back

with the 10%

to 24%

of the principal.

High interest to preserve the principal.

The character of illegal fund raising.

Very obvious.

Luo Dongping

raised the fund through

a supporting app at first.

The account related to the app

is the basic account

of Ye Ze's studio.

Although the amount of people

is great, the single sum is little.

Because lots of his fans

are still students.

Later,

[People's Procuratorate of Xinzhou] Luo Dongping talked to several

big fans who have invested a lot.

He promised to give them

yield of 30%.

The money was not transferred

through the 3rd part.

They transferred to

the account of Ye Ze's studio

directly.

Until the crime,

Luo Dongping hasn't paid back once.

According to rough calculations,

the amount of money has reached

120 million.

Where is the money?

A few got withdrawn.

Most of it got transferred to

a jewelry company at Macao.

Zhang Haolun said

the company

is probably usurious.

In such a short time.

Such a huge amount.

Where was Ye Ze during the time?

Most of the time

he was shooting abroad.

Occasionally he came back

for his concerts.

This is the schedule of Ye Ze

through my investigation and sorting.

Can I have a look?

Sure.

However short was the time,

it was several months.

It's impossible that

Ye Ze didn't know anything at all.

It's hard to say.

Supporting is normal

for a star like Ye Ze.

Stars don't care about

the stuff between

studio and the fan club.

So does Ye Ze.

So,

it makes sense

if we assume

Ye Ze didn't know anything.

Sure it does.

Ye Ze doesn't care about his fans at all.

Hello?

OK. Got it.

Zhang Haolun called.

We can inquire Luo Dongping now.

You go with me.

Yes.

[Ye Ze- The Future Cry For You Don't Make You Cry Missing Say that You Love Me Drifting]

Is it performed by Ye Ze?

It's his work

7 or 8 years ago.

At the time,

he always joined the performance

of some music festivals and bar's shows.

But the materials are limited.

I found these

in his fans' website.

Sounds good.

He's got his own style.

I think he must be influenced

by the Beatles.

Not bad.

I don't know whether it helps.

Of course it helps.

Knowing about the background and hobbies

of the suspect

is what we should do.

You've done a great job.

[Inpatient department]

Luo Dongping,

how many do you know

about the case?

How long do you think

you can keep silent like this?

I know you know clear about

the consequence of you

resisting like this.

Luo Dongping,

don't you feel

guilty of Ye Ze?

He has been wearing

the necklace you gave to him.

I don't know whether it brings good luck,

but I know that

you are of great importance to him.

And you know that, too.

I know

your 30th birthday

is approaching.

Old saying goes "At thirty, a man stands firm".

I think

at least you should tell the truth.

At least fight for a chance

for reducing the penalty

for yourself.

Though he didn't say anything,

his mind moved obviously

when we mentioned Ye Ze.

Right.

Especially when you mentioned

the necklace.

By the way,

how did you know that

Ye Ze's necklace

was given by his agent?

I read it

on a website before.

Ye Ze also said

the necklace brings good luck.

Very careful. Also a good memory.

Very good.

Thank you, Director Yu.

The relationship between the agent and artist

can't be closer than this.

I doubt the possibility

of Ye Ze

knowing nothing about it.

We have to contact Ye Ze as soon as possible.

Meet him.

He is the keyman

and the breach.

Yes.

Ye Ze,

we don't investigate for evidence today.

We just want to talk to you.

How's the investigation going?

Can you tell me about it?

The procuratorate took part in investigation

because the case

is involved with you

and has a great social influence.

But I can't tell you

the details.

I understand.

But I can tell you

one thing.

That is, until now

he hasn't told us the truth.

He means a lot to you.

He's my brother.

I didn't expect

the procurator can be so easy-going.

And I thought artists

always live

under the light.

That's not true.

Only when I stand on the stage

and get lighted,

there is light.

A lot of times,

I don't know

where the light is, either.

Why do you come here so often?

It's the practicing room

I rent

when I was playing in the underground band.

What happened later?

Later,

I gave up.

I went to join the talent show.

The members were against it.

They said

talent show

would make music not pure.

They also said

I betrayed music.

But you didn't.

You know what?

During my worst times,

a packet of instant noodles covered a day.

What's more ironic is

friends who ate instant noodles with you

at that time

dropped you without mercy

after you got famous.

Why didn't you

find them?

I'm ashamed.

I'm not

the one who sung with heart

on the rooftop

and in the subway station anymore.

I've changed.

I became the entertainer

who keeps chasing the light and working.

Yes.

I become popular.

But I'm not able to

sing the old songs anymore.

They're right.

I betrayed my music.

So you like coming here?

I come here today

to ask you to do me a favor.

I can tell.

You're clever.

You want me to persuade Dongping.

Right.

Let him tell the truth.

I...

I can't do it.

Why?

It's betrayal.

Why is it betrayal?

I can't do it.

I can't betray my friend.

It isn't about

betraying your friend.

Just tell me.

Do you want to help him?

Of course I want.

Then what you're doing

is not helping him

but damaging him.

Why?

I know you care about

your so-called friendship.

You also care about how your friends

think of you.

But I think

the most you should care about

is when your friends

make mistakes,

you shouldn't cover for them.

You should tell them that's wrong.

♪It's not enough. The heartbeat is my accompaniment♪

♪Even if I've been seen through. Even if my hands are shaking♪

♪The undercurrents are surging. The truths are hidden on the valley floor as dark as the night♪

♪Would you like to walk through the jungle with me♪

♪No matter how deep, there is always a light♪

♪No matter how dark the sky is♪

♪There will be a brand-new world♪

♪The darkness won't rage♪

♪Run towards the truth with me♪

♪I won't let go♪

♪The unclear mystery♪

♪I'm unclear about who I should trust♪

♪Those lonely nights♪

♪Those crazy moments♪

♪I can see you clearly but I can't touch you♪

♪At the exit of the pursuit♪

♪And in the brand-new world. Wait for me♪

♪Never listen to the strong wind♪

♪Never follow the mainstream♪

♪Be a warrior who runs in the opposite direction♪

♪Let me carry the burden♪

♪My goal is to do what I should do♪

♪The enthusiastic heart will not be copied♪

♪I've issued warnings against every unfairness♪

♪Prepare to be taught a lesson at any time if you don't believe it♪

♪I'm waiting for you to show up♪

♪And go through everything with me♪

♪Let's watch the world♪

♪Watch the world♪

♪The unclear mystery♪

♪I'm unclear about who I should trust♪

♪Those lonely nights♪

♪Those crazy moments♪

♪I can see you clearly but I can't touch you♪

♪At the exit of the pursuit♪

♪And in the brand-new world. Wait for me♪
