[Almost Lover]

[Episode 30]

I was really manipulated by Zhao Mingxuan.

I was clueless about this,

but nobody believes anything I say now.

You're here for Xiaoran since nobody believes you, huh?

I have nowhere to go. Zhao Mingxuan already came looking for me.

I don't know what that lunatic will do.

Come over for a bit.

What will you do?

I'll speak with Xiao Shangqi and find out what's happening.

Let her sleep in my room.

Fine.

You're back.

Why are you here?

I heard Lin Zong say you're on the way back,

so I came over to wait for you—

All right.

Thank you for coming here.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

Fei'er said she was clueless. I doubt she's lying.

Where is she now?

The loft. Li Hui is with her.

Zhao Mingxuan probably met her and threatened her.

If she was sent here, she would've went back by now.

It's my fault. I was too hasty to pull Zhao Mingxuan down.

How is Yunlan doing?

We're lacking a lot of funds, and my brother's in a bad state.

Quite a number of people will be implicated this time.

What are you planning on doing next?

Are you worried about me?

I'm worried you'll collapse again.

I'm fine. With you by my side, I'll overcome this ordeal no matter what.

Xiao Shangqi, I came to you not for—

I know, but I'm already content that you're here.

I don't want anything more.

As long as I can protect Yunlan this time, I'll be able to gather relevant information.

A single mistake can lead to the truth.

No matter how well he covers up his crimes, he can't erase all traces.

One day, I'll nick him by the tail.

Where are you going?

I'm going to record my song.

Don't leave me here alone. Zhao Mingxuan might come over.

I called someone over.

You're late.

You should be glad I'm even here.

My gosh, you really take in all kinds of people.

You're really on the ball too.

- What did they ask of you? Show me the contract. I'll get someone to— - I'm off.

Are all men in Wusu so nosy and meddlesome?

Is she your girlfriend?

Get your shit together first.

You mentioned that having more data means more room for mistakes.

So, I asked Hupu TV Group's Susu

to gather news on Deju in the past few years.

I've narrowed down all the news involving Zhao Mingxuan.

Take a look if there are leads. I sent them to you.

Okay. I'll take a look.

[Deju's Manpower Reorganization]

[President Zhao Mingxuan of Dejua accquires Damangshan's Castle Peak Nursing Home for Luxury Hotel]

I fell asleep. Did you find anything?

Not yet.

After watching for so long, I can't remember anything except a few faces.

What faces?

Zhao Mingxuan, his secretary, and that guy with glasses. No clue who he is.

All three of them are together in the videos with Zhao Mingxuan.

Brother, help me investigate a person. I messaged you.

He looks really familiar. Where did I see him before?

What are you doing?

C-Come downstairs.

You...

Fine. I'll open the door.

Is Fei'er around?

She's upstairs.

Miss Chen, come back with me. It's safer there.

Weren't you sure that I tricked you guys?

I asked a question, but you left without answering.

I did suspect you, but I considered carefully.

If you really wanted to trick us, we're too experienced to have detected nothing.

I'm sure you were clueless, and that scheming Zhao Mingxuan tricked you.

You're really good with your words.

Stop being so stubborn. Return to Jifeng with Lin Zong.

Our home isn't a hotel.

Taiyang was looking for you the entire morning.

Right now, Jifeng is a mess because of this matter. I need to check the accounts with Director Xiao in the afternoon.

Nobody has the time to look after my child.

Do me a favor and look after Taiyang.

Xiao Qi, I looked into him.

He's Deju's CFO.

His name is Jia Wen. He got into trouble two years ago and left.

What trouble?

I need to dig deeper about that.

I remember who he is.

He's Aunty Wang's son, A'Wen.

Aren't you her family member?

In the past, his son used to work in Hupu.

Maybe he was in the hotel business.

Aunty Wang. Aunty Wang.

You have visitors.

Aunty Wang.

A'Wen, you're here.

Aunty Wang, I'm not A'Wen.

Aunty Wang, take a look. Is this A'Wen?

Who are you?

Aunty Wang, I'm He Xiaoran.

The journalist who helped you guys. Don't you remember?

We're here to ask you about A'Wen.

Did he work in Deju?

- Did he— - I don't know.

I don't know! Stay away from me!

- Aunty Wang! Aunty Wang, we won't hurt you. - It's okay.

Two years ago, his son was drink driving

and died in an accident.

Old Wang has always been plagued by guilt.

She sold her house in Hupu

and offered half the money to her daughter-in-law to be.

Before the house was sold, a fire broke out once.

It was sold at a low price.

Old Wang said that the construction of Castle Peak

was the largest project under her son's management.

Hence, she sold her house in Wusu as well

and moved into Castle Peak Nursing Home.

Perhaps this is a different form of companionship.

President Xiao, the case you asked me to investigate.

Jia Wen was drink driving. His car raced off the expressway and exploded.

Is there surveillance footage of the accident?

That was a newly-build road without surveillance cameras.

Got it.

Shangqi, please trust me. I didn't know that was a trap by Zhao Mingxuan.

Stop blaming yourself.

Old Meng, prepare some food for Journalist He.

Sure. I'll whip something up quickly.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I spoke to Jia Wen once in Deju.

We were in the same group for the newcomer training.

After that, we lost contact.

He seemed like a cautious man. Why would he drink and drive?

I remember Old Sun saying that

he was doing well in Hupu and earned a huge sum of money.

Deju has a cap for salary increments.

Suddenly striking it rich is impossible.

Zhao Mingxuan's scamping on the construction is a farce.

What he really wanted was money.

As for how this money was laundered,

he was Deju's CFO and the closest to Zhao Mingxuan.

He probably knew best.

I reckon the car accident was staged.

Can you find out anything else in Hupu?

It'll be best if we can look through his assets，

but the house was sold and set on fire.

Right now, Aunty Wang gets agitated at the mention of his son.

It'll be hard to get anything out of her.

Didn't Aunty Wang say that you resemble her son?

She did mention a few times.

You really look like him. Your build is similar to his.

She'll be agitated if you force her to recall such traumatic memories.

However, you can act as her son

and help her recount Jia Wen's life.

[Yunlan Jifeng Hotel]

Are you waiting for Shangqi?

What is it?

Thank you for taking me in last night.

Don't sweat it.

Xiaoran.

Can we still be friends?

All these years, have you ever treated me as your friend?

If I say yes, will you believe me?

Though, my definition of friends isn't as simple as yours.

When I was in that family,

I wanted to use you guys to protect and support myself.

In my original plan, I would've achieved happiness by trampling over you two.

Now, I've realized that it's wrong.

Planning each step and treatin glife as a math problem

doesn't bring happiness.

I don't plan to live like that anymore.

Xiaoran, I want to apologize

for everything I did in the past. I'm sorry.

But I meant what I said that day. I'm in this state.

I really wish you two the best.

Fei'er.

Your new hairstyle is pretty.

Today, Taiyang said this scar is very cool.

I'm like a hero in a cartoon.

His words made me think that it isn't that hideous.

I don't have to hide it all the time.

What were you chatting about?

Nothing much.

Haven't you gone to bed yet?

Oh, you're back.

What are you up to?

What are all these?

Old songs I composed.

If fifteen-year-old me

knew that these causally drafted melodies and feelings

will be made into proper songs a decade later,

she'll be so ecstatic she can't sleep.

Hey, is Xiao Shangqi very depressed?

He's much better than I imagined.

Moreover, he has new leads.

He's just unsure about what to do next.

What about that princess?

She returned to Jifeng.

She really changed a lot after going through so much.

A good change.

I wrote a lot of these songs when I was feeling down.

Only after so many years do I realize

that all these songs have the most compelling melodies.

Sometimes, ordeals are blessigns.

Smells pretty good.

Will this really help improve sleeping quality?

It helps one sleep better, but its effects vary with people.

If you want to sell it, state that it's an ordinary fragrance.

I'll buy one then.

Sorry, our boss is very frank.

He is.

How about this? Let's bring in a smaller batch.

We'll try selling them in our shop.

Deal.

Thank you.

No way, Boss. Your blunt personality actually works.

Seems like I should learn for you and change my approach.

This is nothing much.

A cultural innovation brand at Maocheng

hopes for a fragrance collaboration. Let's fly over to speak with them in a few days.

Sure, I'll do as you say.

Let's go.

Tang Yan?

Little Boss. Little Boss.

Li Hui, Li Hui. Quickly.

I just saw the producer and Tang Yan together.

How is that normal, Li Hui?

Coincidentally, that person wants to sign you and knows Tang Yan?

Sui Mingwei.

Ultimately, do you think that

I'm not doubting your musical talent.

Didn't I tell you early on?

This is a production company.

Thanks.

Li Hui, I'm going on business trip soon.

Li Hui.

Help me investigate a person.

Cheers!

Yes, Sister Hui.

I'll consider it.

Brother Jie.

Do you know Tang Yan?

Really?

I'm going to go to the restroom.

A call from Tangyan.

Just ignore him.

You should call him back. It might be an urgent matter.

Alright, I will.

Just by looking at the phone number, you know that it's him.

Hello. Is this Tangyan?

I've told you many times to stop calling me.

- Stop putting on an act. - Who are you?

You owe quite a lot of money too. Are you lying to her?

I'm not.

I-

I...I do owe people money.

Sui Mingwei, what are you doing?

Hurry up and leave!

Fine.

Brother Jie,

sorry about what happened earlier.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

He doesn't understand the situation.

Sit.

When it comes to the both of us collaborating, first, we need to trust each other.

If you don't trust me, we won't be able to create good music.

Let's not talk about this anymore.

I've already released your first EP on QQ Music.

Do you like it?

Yes.

Oh right, I remember you said that you wrote a few songs in college.

That works.

Open QQ Music.

Click on this song.

Tell your friends to go listen to this song too.

Who is this artist?

Sister Hui released a song.

Sister Hui released a new song.

Change the background music in your stores to this.

I'm not going to drink the wine. I drove here today.

Driving isn't a valid excuse.

Let Secretary Li take you home later.

I've thought about this matter

for a long time.

I think I need to give you

a little more money.

Right now, I can also give back

what I took before.

I don't want to do this anymore.

I've already decided that I want to resign.

This matter isn't that simple.

I promise that I won't say anything.

I can return all of my money back to you.

Your kindness is both a strength and a weakness.

I understand everything you just said.

See him off.

This way, please.

We cleared all traces back then.

We even went through the place.

Jia Wen didn't leave anything behind.

I remember that his mother is still alive.

Where is she?

I never paid attention to her.

Look for her quickly.

Okay.

Be careful.

Old Wang, look. A'Wen and Xiao Mei are here to pick you up.

A'Wen, have you been busy? Are you eating well?

We're here to take your for a stroll.

Okay.

- What do you want to eat? - Anything's fine.

Old Wang, where are you headed?

My son is taking me out.

Great, you sure are blessed.

Have fun.

Come on.

Be careful.

I'll close the door.

Old Sun, we're off.

Come on, eat.

Here, Xiao Mei. This is brown rice.

- Corn is great for girls. - Thank you, Aunty Wang.

A'Wen, you should eat too.

You come home every weekend,

but why do I feel like I haven't seen you in ages?

I'm over the moon today.

What's on your mind?

It's nothing.

I'm thinking that my mother

wants a future daughter-in-law like you.

What are you blabbing on about?

Xiao Mei is my daughter-in-law. Isn't that right?

Why did you change your hairstyle?

Youngsters really love to style their hair.

You still look pretty now.

Don't you agree, A'Wen?

A'Wen, are you doing well at work?

I'm telling you, work involving money management

requires you to be extra cautious.

Did I ever tell you about my problems at work lately?

Look, you're in trouble, aren't you?

You've been splurging recently.

Be honest with me. Did you use money you shouldn't be using?

I didn't.

Have you heard of someone called Zhao Mingxuan?

- Are you okay? Aunty Wang, are you unwell?

My head hurts.

Maybe I'm just tired today. I'm fine.

Who are you talking about? Someone from your company?

Come over here.

- Drink some water. - Okay.

Is forcing Aunty Wang to recollect the past

harming her in a different way?

I thought

if we could find out some leads,

we'll be helping Aunty Wang uncover the truth about A'Wen's death.

Even if our efforts go to waste,

we'll still be accompanying her.

It's a pleasant dream for her.

Dreams have to end. How long can we keep this up?

You're right.

If we continue prying further,

we'll trigger her traumatic memories.

Forgetting such memories may just be a form of self-protection.

Regardless of me or the truth,

we shouldn't harm innocent people.

- Well... - It's fine.

I'll come up with something else.

Let's go.

Where am I?

Who are you?

Why am I here?

Aunty Wang, what's wrong?

- You aren't Xiao Mei! - Aunty Wang.

You aren't A'Wen either!

Wh-Why am I here? You...

Aunty Wang, don't be afraid. Calm down.

We don't mean harm.

Why am I here?

Let's go back first.

[Lizhen Nursing Home]

My A'Wen... He won't come back...

Old Wang.

They're doing this for your son.

They suspect that someone planned that car accident.

Do you mean...

W-Was my son murdered?

Aunty Wang.

That's my suspicion

because my dad died in the same way.

- Aunty Wang. - Nurse!

- Nurse! - Aunty Wang!

Aunty Wang, what's wrong?

Can the two of you leave?

Does your head hurt?

I hope Aunty Wang will be okay.

How did matters end up like this?

I'll make time to visit her in the next few days.

- Well... - Hold on.

Aunty Wang wants the two of you to come back.

That car accident involving my son...

I had my suspicions too. He doesn't drink much.

Why would he drink and drive?

I recalled some things.

On the day of the accident,

he gave this to me.

That day, he came home and asked me

what I thought about him returning to Wusu with Xiao Mei

and finding a new job.

I was pretty happy.

Mom.

- This is for you. - What is it?

Open it.

Why did you waste money on this?

A'Wen, listen to me.

No matter where you're working, keep yourself clean when dealing with money.

Start by saving on money.

Okay.

Mom, I'll put it on for you.

This really doesn't cost much.

I'll put it on when I'm home.

I'll put it on for you now.

Right now?

Look.

It complements your elegance perfectly.

It sure is pretty.

Don't splurge anymore.

Okay, I won't splurge in the future.

- Mom, I'll pick up a call. - Okay.

Hello.

Did you receive my message?

Tonight?

No problem.

Mom, I need to return to Hupu. Something cropped up at the office.

Is it that urgent? Leave after eating.

I don't have time, so I'll skip the meal.

- Head back. - Drive safely.

Don't worry.

Drive safely.

Was this his gift to you on the day of the accident?

He put it on me by himself.

I've kept it on ever since

in memory of him.

Everything else was burned in the fire.

This is the last thing he left for me.

If you think it'll be useful, take it.

Aunty Wang, thank you for trusting us.

I promise to get to the bottom of this.

For A'Wen.

For you.

For my father.

What leads can this give us?

Can you lie with me again?

Again?

This necklace might not give us any useful information,

but after we uncover the truth,

let's tell Aunty Wang this necklace played a vital role.

This lead led us to nowhere. Who knows when we'll find a new one?

Xiaoran.

Thank you for offering so much help and being by my side.

I'm not staying by your side.

I've wanted to tell you

that I'm doing so much

because I want a criminal like Zhao Mingxuan apprehended. That's all.

What are your plans?

I'll send you home first.
