Jungler, go to the bot lane and help.

Hey,

Pengxiang.

The stuff is here.

Get down and count them.

And come with me to the Orchard

in half an hour.

Alright, got it.

Mao.

Is it all here?

Yes, everything is here.

Let's go!

Mao, see you later.

You seem so thirsty. Where have you been?

I helped Pengxiang load something.

Oh, what did Pengxiang want you to do?

No... nothing.

I'm going out with him for some business.

[Chasing the Undercurrent]

[Punish those who commit crimes and make mistakes so as to discipline them, and execute those who violate the prohibitions so as to terrify would-be violators. -Guanzi, Ban Fa]

[Episode 27]

We've done so much

to set up this trap

and planted an undercover in the Zhao family.

I'm thinking,

could they do the same

and have an ear among us

inside the police?

Make it more specific.

Who do you think it is?

It's just a theory.

I can't say it without evidence.

I'll start

an investigation.

If there are any clues,

I'll report to you immediately.

I got your idea.

But it's quite

not what I expected.

You're right.

Your family has a long history

in iron ore business.

But to buy

the Australian Jiubijiu Mining Company?

Do you know what that means?

Huh?

What are you thinking?

It's like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

Have you ever thought about the risks

and the capital it takes?

Yes, I have.

There are

risks indeed.

But they're controllable and preventable.

As for the money,

I'll find a way to get it.

It's just the two of us.

Alright.

Tell me what you're really up to.

Come on.

I'm all ears.

Actually, I am just hoping

to make our group bigger and stronger

in the shortest time,

so that

no one will dare to undermine us.

Well,

outbound investment is the fastest way.

Is your family in trouble?

No.

But,

I'm not sure about the future.

Hearing you say it out loud,

I understand.

Maybe you have another reason.

You want to move the business property to Australia,

and make there your base camp.

On one hand,

your family will have a safe haven abroad.

On the other hand,

in Australia,

you can better

control the whole situation.

Right?

You don't have to answer me.

I get what you mean.

I understand.

If that's what you want,

I'll help you.

I'll take care of things in Australia.

OK,

I'm counting on you

to acquire Jiubijiu Mining Company.

If you get it done,

Ji Nian and I will go to Australia together.

Don't get my daughter into this.

Keep her uninformed

of things she shouldn't know.

Sure.

Don't worry.

I care about Ji Nian

as much as you do.

Pengchao,

I hope that you mean

you care about her like a brother.

She's now with Chang Zheng.

I think it's unnecessary

for me to remind you

of who he is.

It's nice to work with you.

Me too.

Mr. Zhao,

it's true that Pengchao is talking to the Australian guest,

keeping everyone else out.

So,

there's no way to know

the details of their conversation.

Alright.

Go back to work.

Yes, sir.

Pengxiang,

where are you?

Stop playing.

Come back right now.

I need to talk to you.

Mentor.

You're back.

What's up?

I want to tell you something.

OK.

I think Song Guangming

is the mole.

Do you have any evidence?

Look,

since the yacht explosion,

I have had the feeling that there's a mole among us.

Or how did the explosives

just

disappear?

Since then,

I've been watching everyone around us.

Now I can basically conclude

that the mole is likely...

It's likely to be Song Guangming.

On what ground?

On the day we secretly escorted Deng Xiaojun back to Changwu,

how come Xia Zongtao

appeared right on time at the ferry?

It means someone tipped him.

Nobody knows about the escort

except for the four of us.

If it's not you,

or me,

or Yan,

then...

then it has to be Song Guangming.

It's not evidence.

OK, OK.

I haven't finished yet.

Well,

after Xia Zongtao stabbed Deng Xiaojun,

he ran away.

I yelled on the bridge

to Song Guangming to stop him for me.

Just as he got up,

he dropped down again

due to gout.

He's responsible

for Xia Zongtao's escape.

Isn't that

quite suspicious?

He's been suffering

from gout for years now.

It's not a secret.

Yes.

He does have gout.

But Mentor

have you noticed the time his gout strikes?

That I haven't noticed.

But I have.

I have been watching him for a long time.

As long as the case is related to the Zhao family,

his gout will definitely strike.

It can't be a coincidence.

Are you saying he's faking it?

That's not possible.

I saw his foot swell

like a balloon.

You saw it too.

Yes.

Mentor, you don't know about this disease.

I asked a doctor friend of mine.

And he said,

there is a list of food such patients should avoid.

Foods like

seafood, hot pot, beer,

tofu, and a lot of others,

are all prohibited.

If he eats

some of the foods on purpose,

it'll accelerate the gout attack, right?

You mean

he can control the time of the gout attacks?

That's right.

That's what I mean.

Mentor,

think about it.

Does what I told you make sense?

Am I right?

I've been investigating him for too long.

I've put everything...

Listen to me.

Guangming has been my partner

since I came to the detachment.

It's been years.

If you say he's

a chicken,

I have no objection.

But if you say he's the mole,

I don't believe it.

Mentor,

why don't you believe it?

Will I lie to you?

Look,

observation,

analysis,

deduction

and making judgments

are the fundamental qualities of a detective.

You are doing a good job now.

And I can tell

you've been working very hard lately.

As for if Song is the mole or not,

you can leave it.

Let me handle it.

OK?

I've...

I've been investigating for so long.

One more thing,

do not tell anyone else

what you told me.

Keep it between you and me.

Don't tell anyone else.

But, you know,

I've investigated...

Yu,

don't suspect your partner unless you have a good reason.

Understand?

OK.

Good.

Let's go.

[Public Security]

[Resignation]

[Zhao, Four Seas Group]

What's so urgent to call me back?

Pengchao had a long secret talk with Ji Lv.

I'm curious about the content of their conversation.

Didn't Ji Lv come back

for Dad's birthday party?

That was just an excuse.

I'm thinking,

Ji Lv came back all the way from Australia

upon Pengchao's invitation.

Is their next move

in Australia?

He gained an upper hand here on our turf.

Australia is his paradise.

He's gonna kill us like bugs.

That's why I called you back

to work out a plan.

Don't ask my opinion.

Just work out something.

You plan.

I'll carry it out.

I'll keep an eye on the company

and find out what Pengchao is up to.

I want you to go to the Orchard often

and pick out the men

who can be trusted

and useful to us.

Learn from Pengchao's tricks

to fraternize with those people.

Remember,

the Orchard is important to us.

If one day

we fall out with him,

those people

are gonna be a great help.

Hmm.

Mr. Yan,

we found something.

We analyzed the names

on the register

you read,

and confirmed that most of the people

are the peripheral members of the Zhao family

we've identified.

Any news from the license plate?

By tracing the cars via GPS,

we found that

30% of the cars

which were there

went back to one place.

Let me show you.

It's here,

an orchard,

It's secluded.

There is only one way in and out.

All vehicles have to enter and exit here.

And I also found out

that there are cars coming out every day

to purchase daily necessities and ingredients

of a large amount.

This means

many people are living there.

So many people

gathered in one place.

Has the Zhao family

been hiding those people with a criminal record

here in this place?

How far is this orchard

from Zhaojiawei?

About eight or nine kilometers.

Ten minutes' drive if there's no jam.

Do we have a satellite photo of the inside?

Yes.

But

in this photo, there are a lot of canopies.

We can barely see several buildings.

You just said

vehicles come out for procurement every day.

[Jiamao Convenience Market]

[Jiefang Light Truck]

You were right to stop shadowing them.

There are surveillance cameras.

It's not safe to break in.

And you wouldn't have any findings.

I've looked around.

There's only one way

going up the mountain to the orchard.

But it's impossible to get around the cameras.

If we can't get around them,

let's just

get in there

with a good reason.

Guangming,

what are you doing here?

Chang Zheng,

I need to talk to you.

Get in the car.

Come on.

You've got gout.

So, no beers.

Just some tea.

Here.

Thank you.

What's this?

Read it.

[Resignation]

You're quitting?

I have a chance to get rich.

A chance to get rich?

Rubbish.

You've been a cop for ages.

And now you're quitting?

What happened?

Do you even want to quit?

Why not?

Low wages,

and high risks.

Every now and then,

people talk behind your back.

But who knows

what I've suffered?

Now that's a little too much.

Although you joined the police staff

earlier than me,

I was in the Police Academy before.

Then I was assigned to the bureau.

We're all in this system.

Is that right?

In a sense,

I've been a police officer as long as you are.

As for the hardship

in this line of work,

everybody faces hardship in work.

By the way, which job is easy?

I know you've suffered, too.

But

have you ever been humiliated?

What do you mean by "humiliated"?

Besides, you're a cop.

Who can humiliate you?

In Changwu,

who else except for one family?

[Police]

Stop!

Stop!

Pull over.

[Pengfei Auto Transport Company, Zhao]

What's up?

You want to die?

Never heard that a good dog does not block the way?

Watch your language.

Language?

How dare you stop my truck, stupid cop?

I stopped your truck

because the truck is overloaded

and drives too fast.

You've been spilling mud along the way.

And this poses a severe danger

to the vehicles behind you.

You're not nearsighted, are you?

My eyes are fine.

1.5, both eyes.

Didn't you see whose truck

this is?

[Pengfei Auto Transport Company, Zhao]

Back then,

I didn't know

that in Changwu,

everything with a "Peng" on

was the Zhao family's property.

But at that moment,

even if I knew it was their truck,

I'd follow the protocols.

Hello, Captain Sun.

But...

But...

Yes, sir.

Can I go now?

Kid,

don't boss around

just because you're a cop.

I thought that was the end of it.

But unexpectedly...

Kid,

look carefully at my face.

From now on,

when you see the Zhao family's vehicles,

you walk around them.

Let's help you remember that.

Guys,

take off his pants.

Who is this guy from the Zhao family?

I'll make him feel sorry.

It's been more than 10 years.

You can't accuse him anymore.

It doesn't matter how long it's been.

He can't get away with this.

And didn't you report to your superior?

What's the point?

They don't want anything

to do with the Zhao family.

You know, the chief

who called me to let the man go,

he talked with me in private

and told me,

"Man, you're young.

In Changwu,

you stay out of the Zhao family's business.

Don't mess with them."

He also told me

to learn from this lesson,

and to be smarter

from now on.

Since then,

I've been trying to avoid any involvement

in any cases that are related to the Zhao family.

Ning Yu

talked to you today, right?

He told you

that I faked a gout attack

once there was an operation.

That boy

is sensitive lately.

Don't take it personally.

What he said is true.

I did control the time

of gout attacks through diet

to avoid the Zhao family's cases.

But the day Deng Xiaojun was killed,

I really had a gout attack.

I believe you.

Thank you.

Deng Xiaojun

was the first person

who got killed

in front of my eyes.

♫No one is around as I look down♫

Deng Xiaojun, hang in there.

♫Just a blank paper, absurd♫

Hang in there, Deng Xiaojun.

Deng Xiaojun!

The ambulance will be here soon.

Hang on for a moment.

♫The moon is shining as I raise my head♫

I'll never forget

the way he looked at me at his last moment.

♫Writing down my desires, who's pretending♫

He was killed just like that.

♫Formless and unpredictable♫

Right in front of my eyes.

I'm sorry.

♫With unforgettable dreams♫

And as a police officer,

♫Not looking around, but looking back♫

I couldn't do anything.

♫Through the silhouettes on the window♫

When I was looking at his body,

♫The ending was played♫

it suddenly occurred to me

♫Between good and evil♫

[Resignation, Respected Brigade Leaders...]

that in the past years,

♫This melody describes my past♫

I ran away from so many despicable crimes,

♫My frosty eyes in this long night♫

and that I didn't deserve to be a cop.

♫The ending was played♫

I'm not a good cop.

♫Between good and evil♫

♫That relaxing voice♫

There's a saying, you know,

♫Whose lie can be placed♫

"The young man who once had dreams

ended up the person

♫As time passes♫

he detested."

That

was me.

Guangming,

♫Formless and unpredictable♫

dignity makes our life meaningful.

If I give my consent to your resignation,

♫With unforgettable dreams♫

and you quit,

♫Not looking around, but looking back♫

you might never

find your dignity back.

♫Through the silhouettes on the window♫

♫The ending was played♫

What else can I do now?

♫Between good and evil♫

What should I do?

Are you kidding me?

♫This melody describes my past♫

You're a cop,

a detective.

♫My frosty eyes in this long night♫

Right?

You have tons of chances

and ways to get it back.

♫The ending was played♫

Who do you trust most in the detachment?

♫Between good and evil♫

You.

OK.

♫That relaxing voice♫

You believe in me.

I believe in you, too.

I promise

♫Whose lie can be placed♫

I'll find an opportunity

to help you

prove

♫As time passes♫

that you're a great cop.

All the hardships

and humiliations you've suffered

will pay off one day.

♫The ending was played ♫

Take this back.

♫Between good and evil♫

♫This melody describes my past♫

♫My frosty eyes in this long night♫

♫The ending was played♫

♫Between good and evil♫

♫That relaxing voice♫

♫Whose lie can be placed♫

That's enough.

♫As time passes♫

It's already in pieces.

Let's eat.

They're gonna be cold.

Heitou,

a car is driving up.

Not one of ours.

Telecom Engineering.

Take a few guys

and come out with me.

OK.

Zhang, keep an eye on it.

[Pengtai Green Ecological Orchard]

[Telecommunication Engineering Truck]

[Ecological Orchard]

What are you looking at?

Who are you?

Sir,

we're from the telecom company.

And we're siting for the 5G base station.

This place is good.

If it's built here,

the signal will cover the whole area.

Do you know where this is?

It's private property.

Not somewhere you can go as you want.

Go.

Wait.

Sir.

We've checked around

all the hills nearby.

None of them are ideal locations.

I can see that this is

an orchard, right?

Let us in

and take a look.

Are you deaf?

Hold on.

Sir.

Private property

is easier then. Sir,

we have a compensation plan.

Look,

we can double the compensation

for the fruit trees

on your property.

Let me say it again, we're not interested.

Just go.

Sir.

Look...

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Wait a minute.

Hu's brother works in the Telecommunication Bureau.

Give him a call.

Ask if they sent someone.

Alright, I'm on it.

[Pengtai Green Ecological Orchard]

You have a nice car.

What are you doing?

Are you gonna...

detain us?

Heitou,

I called him.

They sent the guys.

Sorry.

But man,

don't come back here again.

Good job.

Go.

Alright.

[Pengtai Green Ecological Orchard]

The conversation between Zhao Pengchao and Ji Lv

is secret.

Even Zhao Pengzhan doesn't know

what exactly they talked about.

However,

he has begun to suspect Zhao Pengchao.

He plans to gang up with Zhao Pengxiang

against Zhao Pengchao.

The conflict between the Zhao brothers

could be a good opportunity

if we play well.

I'll keep watching their next moves.

Have you heard of

a place called Orchard?

I was going to tell you this.

Zhao Pengzhan told Zhao Pengxiang

the Orchard is important

and told him to go there often

to fraternize with the men

who can be their helpers

against Zhao Pengchao at critical moments.

What you said

just proves that our judgment is right.

Zhao Pengchao

might have hidden the men with criminal records

in the Orchard.

We tried to penetrate,

but failed.

Do you have any way

to get in and look around?

I'll try.

Be very careful.

Stay safe.

Don't worry.

Pengxiang.

Where is Shanmao?

I'm playing the game.

Didn't see him.

What are you doing?

Pengxiang,

I suddenly have diarrhea.

Just a moment.

I'm done now.

Oh, no, Pengxiang,

here it goes again.

I may not be able to go with you, Pengxiang.

You lazy ass.

Are you on something?

No.

Then come with me.

Hey, Pengxiang.

There are people living here?

Whose property is this?

Mine.

[Pengtai Green Ecological Orchard]

Hey, Pengxiang.

Pengxiang.

Pengxiang.

Where is Shanmao?

What?

I'm not welcome without Shanmao?

Of course you are.

Look,

we all used to work for you.

Pengxiang.

What a surprise!

The traitors who left me for Pengchao

still remember it.

Pengxiang,

please don't say that.

Do you come here to see someone?

The festival is approaching.

I brought some cigarettes and wine.

You guys have done a good job.

Say thank you to Pengxiang.

Thank you, Pengxiang.

Go and help unload.

Look, Pengxiang,

come in and have a seat.

Let's drink with some old friends.

OK.

Alright.

To Pengxiang.

-Cheers. -It's been a long time.

This wine is great.

Pengxiang,

I'm done. I'll wait in the car.

Where are you going?

Have a few more drinks.

What a buzzkill!

Enjoy the wine.

Yes, have a few more drinks.

Boring guy.

He's with Pengchao.

Why let him stay?

We can talk freely without him.

Right?

So,

how are you getting on here?

Pengxiang, don't mention it.

Here,

I can't spend my money

or unleash my energy.

There are strict rules

kind of like in the army.

That's right, Pengxiang.

I miss the old days with you

when we could do whatever we wanted.

Right, Pengxiang.

When are you

going to get us out of here?

What's the hurry?

Be patient.

Are you in a hurry to do something?

Pengxiang is right.

Wait for the investigation to ease off.

Then we'll

get back together and have fun.

We'll kick some asses.

The city will be ours.

Right?

OK.

To Pengxiang.

I promise you,

listen,

as long as I'm in charge...

This sucks.

Look,

we give him delicious food and service.

That Xia really thinks he's in a hotel.

What are we?

Waiters?

Alright.

Shut up.

If he's not happy,

Heitou would hold us accountable.

Cut it out.

Pengxiang brought some food.

He said it was for

the festival.

Now,

he's talking with his followers

over drinks.

Pengchao.

I think

he's trying to fraternize with them.

Do you need me to do anything?

No.

It's probably my eldest brother's idea.

Don't do anything.

Just keep an eye on him.

OK.

Hey, Heitou.

Did you see Qiu Tao?

Who?

Pengxiang's driver.

No, I didn't see him.

Listen,

get a few men

and find him.

OK.

Heitou,

who

are you trying to find?

Do you need help?

No, Tao.

They said a guy is missing.

They're anxious now.

What's up?

Nature called.

I drank too much water.

I'm going to play games in the car.

Tell me when Pengxiang is ready to go.

Keep an eye on him.

If he gets off the car,

let me know immediately.

Mentor,

this is the material I compiled.

Make a summary

of yours

and Guangming's.

Mentor.

What?

Did you forget what I told you days ago?

Come on.

I don't want to team up with him.

I can hear you

though you're whispering.

I have a good ear.

If you're busy,

give yours to me.

I'll make a summary.

I'm not busy.

I don't need your help.

Give it to him.

[Unknown number]

Take a break and let him do it.

Political Commissar Yan.

Chang Zheng,

can you talk right now?

Yes, please.

We found

where Xia Zongtao is hiding.

I'll send you

the exact location right now.

Is the intel reliable?

You know who my source is.

Got it.

Xia Zongtao is hiding in an orchard.

Some of the Zhao family's mafia

are also hiding there.

Great!

Don't be too happy.

We're still working on the identities

of the mafia members.

And,

our targets are the Zhao father and sons.

So,

the task force's opinion is

we don't

arrest those men for now

out of discretion.

But

they might be

an obstacle

to your operation

to arrest

Xia Zongtao.

Understand.

I'll bring more men.

Please send me the location ASAP.

OK.

Yu,

tell Jin Yan to come back immediately.

OK.

An operation?

Yes.

Tell Lochus One and the Tech Lochus

to stand by.

Tell their chiefs to come for the briefing.

Yes, sir.

Mentor,

Yan said she's coming in 5 minutes.

Five minutes later in the briefing room.

Yes, sir.

Lochus One?

We have an urgent mission.

Meeting in the briefing room

in five minutes.

OK.

[Binxi Criminal Investigation]

Hey.

Yan.

Slow down.

We got information

that our suspect Xia Zongtao

is hiding

in an orchard on the western outskirt.

We are going to

arrest the target immediately.

Captain Chang.

Xia Zongtao is a tough guy.

He might have weapons.

And,

he has committed a few murders.

So he will definitely fight hard,

or even die trying to get away.

Shall we report

to the brigade

or the municipal bureau

and ask for support?

That's the standard procedure.

But we don't have time for that.

When the procedure is completed,

Xia Zongtao might have run away.

Chief Zhang went to a meeting in the capital.

So now I'm in charge

of all the operations.

So my decision is

the task force

and the men from the Lochus One

will make the arrest

and Tech Lochus will provide support.

We move out now.

Inside the Orchard,

there are 8 buildings.

Xia Zongtao

is hiding

in the small one at the west tip.

Lochus One will be responsible

to secure the personnel and entry and exit

of the 7 buildings in teams.

And the task force

will make the arrest directly.

This operation

is confidential.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Let's go!

Yes, sir.
