[Episode 19]

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking

about what we should do next.

Tai ran away,

and the group became an empty shell.

I'm also thinking

about how to clean up this mess.

Hey,

didn't you promise those shareholders before

that you could use your own resources to save the company?

How about...?

No,

it's too risky.

Tai is still missing,

and it's a huge threat to us.

So,

we need to make him disappear completely.

Are you suggesting

that we need to find him before the cops do?

Do you think Tai will just give up like that

and disappear completely?

What we need to do

is wait.

Wait until he shows up.

[She has already left the detention center.]

[We'll keep an eye on her movements.]

I have a feeling

that something big is going to happen soon.

Don't worry.

I'm still here, aren't I?

Stop overthinking things, okay?

What is it?

Did you see someone you know?

No.

Don't tell me

it's that Lingyi again.

You

are so suspicious.

Don't blame me for overthinking.

That figure just now really looked like her.

Considering the time,

she should be out by now.

If the cops didn't get anything out of her,

and Tai has escaped,

she should be free now, right?

What do you think

she'll do?

She was with me at the border.

Just think about it,

would the police let her off easily?

Well, that's hard to tell.

After all,

they don't have much evidence.

You're already out,

not to mention her.

Sometimes, I actually envy her.

At least

she can sleep a bit easier.

Although she knows some of our secrets,

if she really does get out,

as long as she doesn't come looking for you

and doesn't blab to the cops,

I'll spare her life.

I won't silence her.

You're overthinking it.

Come on,

have some noodles.

[Elena]

Where are my goods?

How should I know?

Why come to me?

Stay away from me.

Stay away from me!

You...

People in our line of business

value credibility.

But you guys didn't follow through on what you said.

So don't blame me for not being polite.

Are you okay?

Dong,

you didn't even tell us before coming.

I could have prepared something for you.

I have no choice.

There's pressure from the higher-ups.

There's pressure from the higher-ups?

Don't just stand there.

Take a seat.

Sen,

I won't beat around the bush with you.

This whole thing was caused by you guys.

If our boss had continued working with country T,

none of this would have happened.

Now, things have come to this,

we've lost our money,

and we didn't even get the goods.

Can you tell me why?

Wasn't it Kun who agreed to it with you guys?

You should look for the one that's truly responsible.

Kun is dead,

Tai has run away.

If we don't come to you, who else can we hold accountable?

That's enough.

Go get some tea.

Dong,

we're really sorry

about this matter.

How about this?

You guys make your demands,

and I

will do my best to meet them.

That can't just be a matter of doing your best;

it's a must-do.

I came here with a mission too.

Failing the mission

is a matter of life and death for me.

Alright,

I'll compensate you

for the full amount of your goods.

How does that sound?

Sen,

it's too late.

I've given you two chances already,

but you not only failed to deliver

but also drew the police's attention.

Just compensating for that batch of goods now

is not going to fix things.

Then tell me,

what do you suggest we do?

I want double.

No way!

You guys are just profiteering from our crisis.
