[Episode 12]

Back off!

Medical examiner,

over here.

How is it?

We've found nothing.

Underwater visibility is too low.

If the corpse were in the water,

it would rise to the surface.

It wouldn't sink in the water constantly.

Actually, we thought the same thing before.

Maybe there's something heavy

dragging the body down.

It wouldn't be possible to find the corpse

if it sank into the mud.

Let's give it a second try, okay?

Sure.

Okay. Thank you so much.

Just give up.

This is infuriating.

Maybe...

Maybe his body wasn't hidden here.

Perhaps

they weren't the ones who killed him.

I still need to thank you for this.

At least,

one of my troubles is resolved.

And now, it's mine.

There's nothing regretful about this.

All of us already did our best.

It's unprecedented

that our chief permitted this.

I've never seen this

in my life before.

Not being able to find the corpse

might be an answer itself.

Time to go.

Liu.

Guys, let's go!

Found it!

Chen! Officer Lin! Found it!

Found it!

Slowly.

Raise it over here.

It doesn't seem like a person who's been dead for five years.

I found an ID card.

[Liu Changshui]

Liu Changshui?

We hit the mark by a fluke.

Liu Changshui?

Why is his body here?

Let the medical examiner inspect it.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Guys, let's go!

There's another one over here!

[Tender Light]

After examination,

these two bodies

are confirmed to be Liu Changshui and Hu Lifan.

Liu Changshui's time of death

was about one month ago according to our preliminary judgment.

It's likely that he was killed not long after

he absconded with the money

As for Hu Lifan's corpse,

it's hard to determine the exact time of death.

As his body was immersed in water for a long period,

the microorganisms and the water

would've changed many elements.

According to my judgment,

I would say it's been over five years.

Well, how did Liu Changshui's body end up like this,

since it was only in the water for over a month?

How do you explain Hu Lifan's condition, then?

These wax-like preserved bodies

is purely coincidental.

Even if you dump both of these bodies

into the water at the same time and place,

the result might be totally different.

Judging from the skull's condition,

both of them were assaulted by heavy objects.

However, Liu Changshui died of asphyxiation.

We found plankton

within his nasal and oral cavities.

Due to that, we deduce

that Liu Changshui died of asphyxiation after he was knocked out

and tied to a huge rock as he sank toward the bottom.

Hu Lifan's skull was shattered.

He might have died of a craniocerebral injury.

However, he could have died from other causes.

We cannot come up with a final conclusion

as his organs and tissues had dissolved.

The modus operands

were almost identical in both cases.

So, it's very likely that it was the same person who killed them.

Judging from the witnesses' statements and motives of crime,

Xu Yi would be the prime suspect.

But we haven't obtained any direct evidence as of yet.

However, we can do a DNA test.

But our town is too remote.

We can't do it here. We have to do it in the province.

That's not an issue.

I'll deal with it.

It's likely that Liu Changshui

was struck to the ground with a heavy object without precaution.

There was no sign of a struggle.

As for Hu Lifan,

there's no way to compare his situation.

If so, the breakthrough point for this case

can only be...

Nan Ya.

That's right.

When I was 17,

Hu Lifan raped me.

Nan Ya, where are you going?

Nan Ya.

Where are you going?

I'm going to school.

Wait, you should eat first.

Right? Let's eat first. Come on.

Let me go!

Eat some food first.

Let's eat.

You make me feel sick.

I heard that the tea factory is hiring workers.

I'll help you to apply for it later.

You won't need to go to school by then.

I'm not going to work in a factory!

I'm going to go to university!

University? Your father didn't leave any money for you.

He only left you with a butt load of debt.

Who'll support you?

You're lying!

You can search the house if you don't believe me.

The money will be yours if you find any.

The land in front of our house and this house

all belong to the Nan family!

Why do you think

I would marry your alcoholic father in the first place?

He was a useless fool.

It's all because

he said he would let me have this house.

I'll tell you this again.

Your father gave this house to me.

Don't even think about it.

You want to go to school? In your dreams.

Hu Lifan.

What kind of era do you think you're living in?

If you want to marry me,

you better be careful when you fall asleep.

Because you'll never know

when I'm going to kill you.

Don't think of going anywhere today.

Let go of me!

What are you doing?

Let her go!

Do you believe that I'll find my father

and tell him to arrest you?

You little lass.

I know you were trying to act tough

in front of Hu Xiu.

Who wouldn't be sad when their father died?

You can cry if you wish to.

Actually,

I don't feel like crying at all.

At least,

I don't want to cry for him.

He's not a worthy father at all.

I will never shed a single tear for him.

Why is it so hard to live?

It won't be that hard

if you just think positively.

It's useless.

I can't win against them.

I won't be able to go to university.

Time to eat.

Ling, Nan Ya, come and eat.

Don't cry.

Come on. Let's go and eat.

Don't cry.

Come on.

Nan Ya, come on.

Come, sit here.

In the future,

you can live in our house,

and I'll treat you as my daughter, okay?

Dig in.

All right. Let's eat.

Try this.

Listen.

These are the best dishes in Qingshui Town.

You won't be able to find them anywhere else.

You can only find them here in my house.

Once we're done eating,

I'll help you to move.

Don't be upset.

You don't need to return to that home in the future.

You won't need to suffer the wrath of your stepmother anymore.

Don't cry.

Don't cry, okay?

Eat up.

Let's eat.

It's nice, right?

Eat up.

Move out of the way!

Madam, don't pull her!

Go away!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Get up!

How dare you go to school when your poor father left little money?

Go!

Quickly!

Nan Ya!

Are you going to work?

Do you miss me?

I slept with her before.

You slept with her?

When? Hurry and tell me about it.

Quickly.

Tell me about it.

It was no fun.

No fun?

I would rather find a hooker.

But she has a great figure.

How could it be no fun?

I don't believe you.

Actually, it's good for you to live in my house, right?

This place is so cold.

I think this place is pretty good.

I can at least save up money working in the factory.

Three years.

It'll take me at most five years.

I'll be done with my undergraduate studies by then.

After that,

I can even proceed with my graduate studies.

By then, I'll be able to leave Qingshui Town.

[1994, Spring]

Nan Ya!

Chen Ling? What are you doing here?

I've been calling you for some time.

Get in the car.

Where are you guys going?

Stop asking.

Just get in.

Let's go.

One more.

[The Rise of Shenzhen]

Just give it to me. I can manage myself.

I'll carry it for you.

Are you coming upstairs with me?

Nan Ya is back.

Yeah.

All right now. Give it to me.

You should go now.

I'll leave, then.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

You should go now.

Why are you still standing there? Let's go.

Let's go.

Mister, your steak is here.

It's delicious.

I'll get you guys some red wine.

I'll go with you.

No need for that. I'll serve you today.

Do you have red wine here?

We do.

Give us three glasses of wine.

Sure.

Cheers.

Here, cheers.

Nan Ya.

Someone delivered fruits to you again.

I'm so envious.

She likes me.

She doesn't like me.

She likes me.

She doesn't like me.

She likes me.

She doesn't like me.

Nan Ya, you're back.

She likes me.

Nan Ya,

I've been waiting for you the entire day.

This is for you.

I don't like flowers.

And, in the future,

you should stop buying gifts for me.

Can't you tell

that I have feelings for you?

I don't have any feelings for you.

Nan Ya,

what did I do wrong?

You shouldn't have come here.

I... I haven't finished my words yet.

I've been waiting here the entire day just to tell you

that I've been thinking about you ever since I met you.

Stop right there.

That's your issue.

You should reflect on yourself.

I already did it.

You're the one who I should court.

Xu Yi.

Who was that?

Who was that?

Wasn't that your best friend's boyfriend?

Lower your volume!

Does Chen Ling know

that you two are this close to each other?

Hu Lifan, listen up.

This is the factory.

If you try to make a scene,

I'll report you to the security office.

Can't you tell?

I work in the factory now, too.

Today is my first day here.

What can you do?

It's a great job.

I tend to the boiler.

I even have a bed in the boiler room.

I can take a break when I'm free.

I can even take showers.

Why don't we take a shower together?

Hu Lifan, stop this nonsense right now.

Do you believe I'll kill you right now?

No shower, huh? Fine.

Give me some money, then.

Just you wish.

If so, I'll head to the county hospital tomorrow

and have a talk with Chen Ling.

We know each other anyway.

We're quite close too.

You better treat me with a better attitude next time.

Fine, I got it.

That's all for now.

You look gorgeous today.

Give her a nice haircut.

Sure, mister.

Take your time.

I'll wait for you in the car.

Nan Ya, someone's here for you out there.

Li, help me out for a second.

All right. Go now. Be quick.

What are you doing here again?

I'm out of money.

Give me some money.

Do you think I'm a money printer?

I'm just worried that I might spill the beans.

Hu Lifan!

You intend to have a child with him already?

His family members

wanted us to get married as soon as possible.

Me too.

Chen Ling,

getting married and having children are major events.

It's not a joke.

Don't be fooled by his manifestations.

The most important thing about a person is their character.

I know that. Don't worry.

I won't be cheated.

You're back.

Good morning.

Nan Ya.

[State-Owned Zhanggong Tea Plantation]

Mister, thank you.

Okay.

Wait.

Hello, mister.

Tell him to stop delivering gifts to me.

Okay.

It's that person.

Okay.

Thank you.

Wait.

Mr. Zhang,

Happy National Day.

Didn't you go back?

No.

Mom wants you to go home for dinner tonight.

It's gonna be something good for you.

She's arranging a blind date for you. It's the factory's director.

I'm not going.

It's the factory's director. You think he's not good enough?

He's less than 50 years old.

His family is wealthy too.

You'll lead a great life if you get married to him.

Your mother is single too.

She can get married to him if she wishes to.

Say that again if you dare!

Tonight,

you have to head back for dinner.

In your dreams.

Go home with me right now.

Hu Lifan!

Go with me!

Hu Lifan!

Hu Lifan! What are you doing?

Hu Lifan!

Chen Ling!

What are you doing?

If you dare to touch her again,

I'll make sure you get fired now!

Is your family the owner of this factory?

Vice Director Zhou is my father's friend.

He even had dinner at my house last week.

Do you want me to head to his office

and tell him that you're harassing a female worker?

Go with me!

Let's go!

She's my younger stepsister.

Get away!

Nan Ya, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Do you truly know Vice Director Zhou?

I mean, it's not that difficult if I want to make his acquaintance.

You were so cool

when you said that.

By the way,

do you need me to make sure he gets fired?

No need for that.

You're right.

If you try to corner

a person like him,

maybe he'll do something out of desperation.

That's true.

He had a criminal record before.

He'll still bully you

in the factory.

Why don't you live at my house?

At least, my father can deal with him if he comes.

We can talk about that later.

Let's go and have lunch, then.

Let's go.

Yeah, let's go and have lunch.

I won't go with you guys.

I have something to do this afternoon.

We specially came to you for lunch.

You two should celebrate the holiday yourselves.

Eat more, okay?

It's the holiday. Why not join us?

Goodbye.

If so, let's have lunch ourselves.

Okay.

[The Rise of Shenzhen]

Who's that?

Nan Ya.

Where's Chen Ling?

She returned to work.

Didn't you two go to have lunch?

I just sent her there.

After that, I came to see you.

Well, Xu Yi,

I need to clarify something with you.

Nan Ya, I have two movie tickets.

Xu Yi, listen to me first.

I don't care for what reason you're doing this.

Nothing's gonna happen between us.

Do you know why Hu Lifan could blackmail me

time and time again?

It's because you kept pestering me

and sending me gifts.

He blackmailed me by saying that he would tell Chen Ling about it.

I had no idea about that.

Even if Hu Lifan tells Chen Ling about it,

it doesn't matter to me.

It matters to me!

Chen Ling is the nicest person to me.

She and her family have all treated me well.

When I was at my lowest moments,

Chen Ling was the one who brought me home,

provided me with warm food,

and shared the bed with me.

Therefore, I won't allow her

to get hurt.

So, Nan Ya, are you refusing me because you don't like me?

Or is it because you're worried that you might hurt Chen Ling?

I don't like you at all.

Do you think all women should revolve around you

just because you're rich and powerful?

Listen.

Nothing's gonna happen

between us.

But I like you.

I've liked you a lot

ever since I met you for the first time.

It's fine if you're worried that you might hurt Chen Ling.

I'll break up with Chen Ling right now

as long as you say yes to me.

Xu Yi, what are you saying?

I would never be with you

even if Chen Ling didn't exist.

But why?

There's no reason.

Nan Ya, I can work harder.

I really can.

Not all of your efforts in life

will be rewarded, you know?

Nan Ya,

look around you.

Look at the kind of life you're leading.

Look at all these junks.

As long as we're together,

you won't need to worry about anything.

As for Hu Lifan,

I'll make sure he doesn't dare to bully you in the future.

Do you think you can get away with everything with money?

Have I not made myself clear?

Please don't pester me again.

Leave.

I won't yield to this.

Nan Ya,

you must be mine.

We're a perfect match.

Everyone will be envious of us.

I know Chen Ling

is an obstacle between us.

But trust me.

We'll be happy in the future

as long as we overcome it.

I don't like you.

Every minute I spend with someone I don't like

is torture to me.

Don't you get it?

If so, please give me another chance.

Nan Ya,

if you still don't like me

after the movie,

I'll never pester you again.

[Qingshui Cinema]

Nan Ya.

Nan Ya?

Keep me company tonight.

Keep me company!

What are you doing?

This isn't your first time anyway.

Stop pretending to be pure.

Help!

Shut up!

Come here!

Let go of me!

Hu Lifan!

Do you think I don't dare to touch you

just because you have Xu Yi with you?

What are you doing?

Hu Lifan, what are you doing?

If you don't stay put, I'll push your face into the fire!

Your face is the only valuable thing about you.

If you don't want it,

I'll burn it!

Nan Ya.

You want to stick your nose into my business, huh?

Stop it!

You deserve it.

You busybody!

How dare you stick your nose into my business?

Hu Lifan, stop it!

Do you still dare to stick your nose into my business?

Nan Ya is mine.

What did you say?

Get over here!

Xu Yi.

Listen up.

I slept with her

when she was 17!

Back then,

your skin was very smooth.

Her skin was smooth and fine.

Plenty of people had slept with her!

She's a hussy!

You, the young master of the Xu family,

are actually tricked by a hussy like her?

Shut up!

Nan Ya.

Let's go.

I'll kill you!

I'll kill you!

I'm going to kill you!

Xu Yi, run!

How dare you hit me?

Nan Ya!
