Take a rest.

I know you.

You just took two cups more.

[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 29]

Arrogance leads to failure.

If the opponent is arrogant,

conquer him with softness,

and solve it with containment.

It's your turn.

Pay attention to the game.

You act slowly.

I quit.

You act slowly

and talked so much.

I feel sleepy.

What are you doing?

Are you getting mad?

Can't accept failure?

You blended the white and black.

You…

Are you implying something?

I'm talking about the chess.

Why are you being sensitive?

You thought too much.

But anyway,

the white should be distinguished from the black.

There're so many people in the world

who like to confuse the public and

little people can tell white from black.

It's just like the chessboard.

The black is black.

And the white is white.

There's no intermediate zone.

Chang Fei.

You're so stubborn.

If you like to distinguish white from black,

take your time.

I quit.

I'm not talking about the chess.

I'm talking about right and wrong.

Well,

let me do it.

Let's stop here.

It's too late.

Let's call it a day.

[Changwu City PSB Maritime Port Binxi Branch]

[Office]

Come in.

Chief Zhang, are you looking for me?

It was

an emergency yesterday.

We can understand it.

But up to now,

I haven't received your phone call.

You should explain it.

And,

Xia Zongtao

was very dangerous.

Why don't you ask for help from the special police?

You can ignore your own safety.

But

you should think about your teammates.

You're right.

It was my fault.

Rest assured, please.

I will correct myself.

So strange.

Why are you so modest today?

I should do it.

[Yan Guohua]

Chief Zhang.

A phone call.

Hello?

OK.

So you know

everything.

Chief Zhang.

I've been bad

all the time.

I apologize to you.

Thank you.

I accept your apology.

Why are you thanking me?

Thank you for

everything

you've done for my father.

Buddy,

say whatever

you want to say.

Missing your son, right?

Qiufeng.

I know Chang Zheng.

He is just like me.

We're both

stubborn

and obstinate.

If he becomes your subordinate,

please control him for me.

Don't mention that.

If he becomes my subordinate,

he is also yours.

Let me finish it.

You have to train his personality.

The knife has to be sharpened on a stone.

People have to be trained by things.

Just let him face some difficulties.

But if one day

he is in trouble,

you have to help him.

OK.

I promise you.

Every time I come here,

I feel ashamed.

If I was firmer

and stopped him,

or stayed with him,

[In Memory of Chang Fei]

I could threaten those

who wanted to kill him.

Political Commissar Yan has told me about your family's condition.

The child and elderlies

were good excuses.

When your father was gone,

someone comforted me that

I thought before I acted.

But more people

were discussing behind me,

thinking I'm timid.

Public clamor can confound right and wrong.

I wanted to quit

many times.

But when I came here,

I changed my mind.

I can't let him

sacrificed in vain.

How come

I've never met you here?

I always

came here secretly alone.

I was afraid of meeting people.

I was afraid of meeting anyone.

When I got some trouble

and had no one to talk to,

I came here to talk to him.

[In Memory of Chang Fei]

But when I saw his eyes,

I felt ashamed.

I thought he was despising me

and laughing at me.

No way, Chief Zhang.

You are my father's best partner

[In Memory of Chang Fei]

and best friend.

I was.

Later, he broke up with me.

Let's investigate

this case.

Look.

Accident recognition report.

The case has been completed like 800 years ago.

How can we investigate?

Not 800 years.

It's been 24 years.

Are you my partner?

Of course.

Go with me then.

I can't, I have so many things to do.

The sand field. Grabbing the land.

It's also about lives.

I should complete the case.

Are you afraid of him?

[Agent: Zhao Xiaosheng]

Not him,

you.

Every time there's something,

you become so anxious

and ready to find the Zhaos.

What do you want?

Lao Zi said,

the softness

leads to success.

We can try to

solve the problem indirectly.

You shouldn't stick to it.

It will cause trouble.

Do you understand?

Lao Zi said that?

I say,

don't ever give up.

You've decided, right?

OK, I see.

Don't join it.

I'm not avoiding it.

I will investigate

the case on my own.

Chang.

Chang.

Before his death,

he was

quite close to one of the Zhaos.

The Zhaos?

Zhao Pengcheng?

Right.

How do you know?

The day when your father passed away,

your mother fainted away

when hearing the news.

You were at

the world policeman sports game.

So, I was responsible

for his funeral.

On the night of the funeral,

he came

out of my expectation.

[Memorial]

Zhao.

What are you doing here?

Go away.

I asked you to go away!

I came here to say good-bye.

Say good-bye?

Nonsense.

Do you know that

he was killed by your family?

He was killed by your family!

Go away.

Don't pretend

to be kind.

Go away!

I just came here to say good-bye.

Say good-bye.

Chang Fei had come to me several times,

trying to persuade me to investigate my family.

I was struggling,

so I refused him.

You can't do that

to your father

and brothers, right?

We're family.

It's much easier

for me to investigate

my family than you.

Is that what you mean?

No.

Not really.

It's unreasonable for you

to report your family.

We Chinese value family ties.

Without Zhao Xiaosheng,

I wouldn't be here.

To be honest,

he gave me my life.

But I don't want to thank him.

It may be good

if I wasn't here.

Living under the name of Zhao Pengcheng

is hard.

It's difficult

for me

to live like others.

To keep myself clean

is even harder.

But I have to admit that

without Zhao Xiaosheng,

I wouldn't be what I am now.

I can survive,

but may not be able to study.

Even if I can study,

I may not be able to keep a foothold in Changwu.

So

as one of the Zhaos,

I can only

keep myself clean.

To bear,

watch

and keep silent.

If I dare to

betray them,

even his son can't survive.

Do you think

they can tolerate me, the prosecutor?

You come here today.

It represents your attitude.

Maybe

they've known what they should know.

They must have known.

Changwu is a small city.

Their spies are everywhere.

OK.

He's dead.

Restrain your grief.

Chang Fei came to me yesterday.

Yesterday?

Yes.

Yesterday.

What did he say to you?

A lot.

It seemed that he had predicted his death.

He said he understood my concern.

If I reported the Zhaos,

my family except for me

will be

arrested or killed.

Even if my consciousness tolerates me,

I can't live under the public opinion.

My dad is criminal

and I would be the same.

This is only the first reason.

Secondly,

those

who escaped,

and those parasites

who live on

our family

would hate me

and want to kill me.

If I report the criminals,

I'll also be doomed.

What shall I do then?

I have my wife and kid.

Chang Fei

always

thinks for others.

To be honest,

both

are difficult for you.

I understand it.

♫Whether the future will be clear♫

But your punches

made me clear.

♫After stepping forward♫

Family is important.

♫How many hardships to encounter♫

But the law is more important.

If those

upright and innocent

♫Before meeting the next sideway♫

people always

get hurt

and I ignore that,

♫Whether to choose this road♫

what's the difference between me and my family?

We're both evil.

♫The cold wind won't be so biting♫

I'm evil for being timid

and normal.

♫Contributing without regret♫

♫Or let it depend on the fate♫

Mr. Zhao Pengcheng,

♫The mist ahead covered the sunrise♫

let me tell you my attitude.

The work Chang Fei hadn't finished,

♫In the destination there're endless♫

I will carry it on.

I'm not afraid,

♫Gift, claim, restrain, immoderate♫

really.

I know you're not afraid.

♫Whether the end connects the border trees♫

Chang Fei had said that

if something happened to him,

he wanted me to carry on the case.

♫The mist ahead covered the sunrise♫

If I have any problem,

I should come to you.

♫There may be victory or failure in the end♫

He said you will help me.

He asked you to come to me?

♫Right or wrong, good or evil, confront, give in♫

Yes.

I thought

♫Turning over, if there's♫

our friendship was broken.

♫The way back♫

He told me that.

He said you're very filial.

You have to support

a big family.

He didn't want to add the burden.

♫Gift, claim, restrain, immoderate♫

He broke with you

to avoid the Zhaos from following you.

♫Whether the end connects the border trees♫

He even had predicted

your facial expression now.

♫The mist ahead covered the sunrise♫

He said,

he didn't want you to look like this.

He didn't want you

♫There may be victory or failure in the end♫

to shed tears for him.

♫Right or wrong, good or evil, confront, give in♫

He asked you to come to me

♫Turning over, if there's♫

for what?

♫The way back♫

The clue.

Before he broke up with you,

your investigation

hadn't been completed,

but this is

the clue.

Before he broke up with me.

Longwang Mountain.

Qiongya No.5 Mine's mining accident.

Was it that one in Longwang Mountain?

It has been a long time.

I can't set a case for it

but ask people

to dig it privately.

It has cost me almost two years

to find Deng Lijun's body.

So…

So I was sent to investigate it.

Your father and Zhao Pengcheng

were dead for the case.

So, I thought

there's something wrong with it.

The investigation notes

Zhang gave you in disguise of Lu Yuan

was found by me.

I copied it

and gave it to Zhao Pengcheng.

After the special case team was formed,

I gave it to Political Commissar Yan.

My father called me before he died

and said that his case had a breakthrough

and the criminal was going to be arrested.

Zhao Pengcheng investigated in this way.

What had they discovered

that cost them their lives?

I don't know.

Didn't you come together?

He didn't allow me to join in

to protect me.

This is your father's last wish.

He had to stick to it.

He said,

he's one of the Zhaos.

The father won't kill his son.

Even if they were found by his father and brother,

he won't be in danger.

But unexpectedly,

unexpectedly,

he didn't know the Zhaos at all.

So, Chang Zheng,

promise me.

You have to protect yourself.

This is my only requirement for you

as well as my promise to your father.

Chief Zhang,

I will defeat the Zhaos

regardless of the cost.

Your father said,

if the Zhaos were not defeated,

he wouldn't rest in peace.

His expression was just like yours.

If the Zhaos are not defeated, I won't rest in peace.

We're both Changwu people.

It has been over 20 years.

People have been

watching it.

There're so many unsolved cases.

Intentional killing.

Intentional injury.

Affray.

Compelling trade.

Everything is connected to them.

You're clear about

what Zhao Xiaosheng's family

has done.

Why can't we solve it?

Because we have no concrete evidence.

Even if we have,

they will be refused by the procuratorate.

What are you doing?

I haven't finished.

Listen,

the Zhaos' case is their business.

You have some problems with your emotional control.

What's wrong with my emotion?

I'm doing my job.

Don't you have a problem?

Listen,

if you keep doing this,

I won't let you do the frontline work.

What do you mean?

I will suspend your work.

Suspend my work?

How could you?

Chief Zhang.

Who asked you

to call my father

before his death?

Li Bodong.

Was my father's suspension

connected to

Director Xiao?

I investigated it.

The brigade had discussed it in a meeting

and the meeting holder was

Director Xiao.

[Vice director's office]

Liu,

hasn't Director Xiao come?

Don't you know?

This morning,

Director Xiao applied

for suspension.

For what?

I heard that Director Xiao made

a mistake in yesterday's operation.

In my view,

people make mistakes all the time,

let alone the instant decision.

Well…

Director Xiao

didn't have to apply for suspension.

I don't know what

he was thinking of.

He applied initiatively.

Well…

You applied for the suspension initiatively

and made concessions in order to gain advantages.

This is good.

Next,

you have to stick to the fact that

the condition was complicated.

You made a wrong decision

out of concern for the people

and the policemen's safety.

You will return

to your job soon.

Do you think I made concessions in order to gain advantages?

I wanted to quit honestly.

Don't ask me again

to do such

evil things.

Zhenbang,

you have to choose a team to be an officer.

You have been influenced by me

and it won't change.

Or how could you

be promoted to this position?

So, when I need you,

you should stand out.

I'll repeat it once again.

I don't want to be the vice director.

It's not up to you.

You are not only the vice director,

but also a husband

father

and

son-in-law of this family.

We all have our roles.

We should do our job.

Think about your family

and your kid's future

in your spare time.

Master.

Chang Zheng.

Master.

I come here today...

I come here today

to listen to your true idea.

I know what you want to ask.

I can tell you.

I did issue the order

to let Li Bodong fire the shot.

Did you have

any reason?

No.

The condition was complicated.

I made a mistake.

That's all.

Made a mistake?

Master.

For all these years,

you've guided me

to become a policeman,

and taught me

how to be a good policeman.

You know me.

And I also know you.

In this case,

making a mistake

can't persuade me.

That's it then.

Master.

Don't come to me again.

Wait for the result.

[Four Seas Group]

Have you read

the Australian purchasing intention

I gave you?

Yes.

How's it?

Three billion Australian dollars.

Quite a lot.

Yes, quite a lot.

But you know what?

Jiubijiu

is one of

the oldest mineral companies in Australia,

owning

resources

and the ability to exploit.

The iron ore exploitation in recent years

are over ten million tons.

In fact,

I don't think the price is a problem.

Three billion Australian dollars.

Can you afford it?

No.

Our whole company

doesn't worth that.

But I have a plan

to raise the money.

Of course,

I need your help.

Me?

After it's completed,

I will give you 5% more of the share

of Jiubijiu.

This is our plan.

You can have a look.

You...

you tell me.

[Serve the people]

Mom.

Chao.

Why are you here?

I have an important meeting

and can't be with you.

OK.

Just two minutes.

Mayor Han.

I'm here on behalf of Four Seas Group

to discuss an important joint venture project

with the municipal government.

What project?

We Four Seas Group is going to

cooperate with Australian Jiubijiu Mineral

[Four Seas Group. Australia Jiubijiu Mineral. Iron ore transfer base joint venture project plan]

to start the biggest

iron ore transferring base in our country.

This is the plan.

[The capital source of project financing]

And

Jiubijiu Mineral's agent

has been in Changwu.

The first phase of the project

requires two trillions of investment.

The government should

help coordinate the loan.

[Changwu Procuratorate]

Zhang.

Play the video of the body worn camera.

OK.

Come in.

Xiao Chen.

You applied for the withdrawal, didn't you?

I don't attend the meeting.

But I want to have a look at the video.

Can I, Prosecutor Xu?

Play the video.

Get off.

Step back.

Step back!

Prosecutor Xu.

I want to watch it again.

The shocking kidnapping case in

Meigao entertainment center

has got an update.

It is reported that

Xia, the hijacker who was shot

was an escaped wanted criminal.

He is related to

another murder case in our city.

Xia carried a deathly weapon

and was in an unstable mood.

While he was escaping,

he hijacked a cook as a hostage.

The police arrived immediately

and rescued the hostage.

Xia was shot

for resisting.

The injured cook was sent to the hospital

and is safe now.

[The kidnapping case in Meigao entertainment center]

According to an insider,

Xia, the criminal shot by the police

was the brother of the victim

of the wharf shooting accident.

It's unclear whether these two cases are connected.

Please follow our report.

Is that true?

So confusing.

What true or false?

You issued the order to shoot him.

Are you suspecting me?

Answer me.

Yes.

Do you know he's

the suspect of Deng Xiaojun's case?

Do you know how important he is

for Chang Zheng and my master's sacrifices?

I know.

But the condition was dangerous.

Dangerous.

I watched the video.

Xia Zongtao was under control.

How can you call it dangerous?

Stop it! Answer me!

Why did you shoot?

My mistake.

I don't believe it.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Except you.

You never make such a mistake.

I have been suspended.

What else do you want?

I want the truth.

I want you to tell me

why you issued the order to shoot?

I want you to tell me

what your secret goal was

behind your order!

Why don't you

believe me?

I want to.

Since I was little,

you have been the best policeman in my eyes.

You're brave,

and upright.

You never make mistakes.

I always trust you.

But you're too suspicious this time

to let me trust you.

[Changwu Bridge]

Any discovery?

I recalled

when I was interrogating Cao Dalong,

he was about to confess,

but in a short time,

he changed his mind.

What happened during this period?

Are you suspecting Director Xiao?

If it was really

Director Xiao who informed him,

how did he do it?

So hard.

[Binxi Criminal Investigation]

I want to investigate it.

But I'm afraid of finding something.

Well,

what did Commissar Yan say?

Make bold hypothesis

and prove it carefully.

What you have seen

or heard

may not be the truth.

[Jin Yan]

Can we meet?

Now?

It's OK if you don't have time.

Well, I have something to deal with.

I'll take off.

Don't stay too late.

Come back to rest soon.
