[Episode 22]

You...

Why are you out?

Auntie,

I heard you're seriously ill.

So I came to see you.

I've never loved him.

He's just a naive young boy.

I've been through so much.

I won't pin my hopes

on a man anymore.

There's no one
taking the blame for anyone here.

Life isn't a novel.
It's not that romantic.

Even if Zhou Luo
is impulsive and immature,

he's still an adult, isn't he?

Doesn't he know

the consequences of killing someone?

Besides, he's so smart.

He has a bright future.

And he can find a better girl
in the future.

Is it worth killing a person
for a moment of infatuation?

Anyway, Xu Yi was holding an axe
trying to kill me,

I couldn't just stand there
and wait to die.

I don't know what the future holds.

If you think it is self-defense,

then I'm innocent.

If not,

then just sentence me.

Stop involving
irrelevant people and things in this.

Don't make up
some romantic love story or gossip.

If there's anyone in this world

who truly loved me,

it would be my mother.

She passed away long ago.

Don't you trust me?

I'm telling you to trust no one,

including me.

[Tender Light]

[The night
of the train station incident]

[Autumn, 1999]

Are you cold?

It was a bit cold
when I first got in the water.

Now, I feel

all hot.

Do you feel like your skin's on fire?

The colder the water,

the hotter your skin will be

after you get out of the water.

It's like every cell in your body
has been activated.

Even you feel more clear-headed.

So, is this

the reason why you came here?

I came here to remind myself.

Remind yourself of what?

To live.

Dying is easy,

but I have Wanwan.

I don't have that kind of freedom.

I can't die.

People who should die are them.

Wanwan will sleep at my place tonight.

I'll bring her over
early morning tomorrow.

No need.

I'll go pick her up myself
tomorrow morning.

You should go back now.

Don't come to see me again.

We've reviewed

all your documents.

You've suffered
repeated domestic violence.

From the assessment of your injuries,

the situation is quite serious.

So, we've helped you
apply for legal aid.

This is Mr. Gao, a lawyer

who is very experienced in this field.

He'll support you throughout the process
of safeguarding your rights.

Thank you.

Mr. Gao,

I just want to get a divorce.

I want to know if I can

get custody of the child in this case.

It was almost a sure thing,

but the train station incident

has turned the tide against you.

That whole thing
was orchestrated by Xu Yi.

But this might be
Xu Yi's premeditated strategy.

He intentionally made
such a scene in a crowded place

to make more people witness it.

There were countless eyewitnesses

seeing him and Xu Jian's wife
catching you in the act.

Now, you're left with no way
to defend yourself

because no one would believe

that someone would willingly tarnish
their own reputation

with such disgraceful facts.

But I was beaten by him,

and everyone saw that.

Although that's true,

in the extreme situation
of catching someone in adultery,

it might be considered a valid reason.

Now, the domestic violence issue

is clear,

but you've become the one at fault

for the marriage breakdown.

Plus, you don't have
a stable income now,

so you don't have much advantage

in the custody battle for the child.

No,

I must get the custody of the child.

Please stay calm.

Although we don't have much advantage,

it doesn't mean we will definitely fail.

You can try to speak to Xu Jian's wife

and persuade her to testify for you.

That's not possible.

Well, I'll think of another way then.

Tomorrow, I'll file the lawsuit.

Also, you must maintain

a separate living arrangement for now.

Nan Ya, don't worry.

The Women's Federation
will do everything possible

to safeguard your legal rights

and help you get rid
of this abusive marriage.

Our staff will also actively assist you

in gathering evidence

for the custody of the child.

Okay, thank you.

[Divorce and child custody]

Yesterday, Nan Ya's clothes
were torn in the fight.

Now, I don't find any women attractive.

How could she be with Xu Jian?

If she could be with Xu Jian,

could she also find me attractive?

Why don't you go to her shop
and give it a try?

I've been wanting her for a while.

How could she be with Xu Jian?

Exactly.

Zhou Luo, what happened to your hand?

I'm fine.

I ran into a couple of jerks.

What happened?

Who dared to mess with my bro?

Be careful, okay?

Don't go picking fights.

Don't worry.

Let's go, Bing.

Zhou Luo,

you've been acting
a bit too impulsively lately.

Why didn't you come to school
the day Nan Ya got into trouble?

As your friend, I must remind you

that you should avoid dangerous paths,

and don't make unrealistic dreams.

Are you two coming or not?
What are you doing?

Let's go.

Wait,

the backseat is a bit loose.

Darn it.

Let's go.

Let me ride my bicycle too.

Nan Ya.

How do you have the nerve
to even come here?

Get out.

It's all in the past. Calm down.

Do you like this?

I specially asked a friend

to bring back it from Hong Kong, China.

Are you going to kneel again,

cry, and beg for forgiveness?

If you want me to kneel,

I could do it.

As long as it calms you down.

I admit,

it was wrong of me to start a fight

in front of so many people.

But you shouldn't have run off
with Wanwan either.

Xu Yi, I advise you
not to waste your breath.

I'll definitely divorce you.

Let's part amicably.

[Divorce Agreement]
I don't want a penny of your money.

I'll just take Wanwan with me.

If you don't sign it,

I've already found a lawyer to sue you.

So you want a divorce, huh?

Have you forgotten

what we've been through?

You still owe me a life.

You want to get away now?

No way!

Oh, by the way,

I know more lawyers
in this town than you do.

I can introduce a good one to you.

Please help me look for someone.

Who are you?

I have a friend who stays here,

but I don't know his room number.

Name?

Xu Yi.

There's no such person.

Chen Ling.

She just checked out and left.

Did she stay here alone
or with someone else?

Are you really looking for someone

or is there something else
you are up to?

Nothing. Thanks.

You're home?

Why didn't you open the door for me?

Not opening the door
means you're not welcome here.

Why are you coming over so late?

I brought you something.

These are divorce cases similar to yours

that I found online.

You can take a look for reference.

Also,

I found evidence

that's particularly advantageous
for you.

Xu Yi and Chen Ling

were having an affair
at the Seagull Hotel in the city.

Does this have anything to do with you?

What you care most is Wanwan, right?

With this evidence, you can...

I've known about this for a long time.

This is my own business.

It has nothing to do with you.

From now on,
you're not allowed to follow me,

come to my shop,

approach Wanwan,

or climb over the wall to see me

at my house in the middle of the night.

You're basically telling me to go die.

Why is it so easy for you to die?

Do you understand what death is?

Those who truly wish to die

do so silently.

You're too naive.

Could you please not
have this attitude towards me?

Have you listened
to the tape I gave you?

I've burned it.

Now, leave.

I'm not leaving.

Aren't you helping me
just to sleep with me?

Will you be satisfied
once you've slept with me?

Alright then.

Come on.

Come on.

Enough!

Make way, please.

Make way!

Lift the stretcher.

Hurry!

Move aside.

Why would I sign such an agreement?

I'm in a dire situation,

asking around for help
like a beggar every day.

You want me to sign this?

Get lost!

Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu,

I'm really at my wit's end now.

Can you help me think of a solution?

[Shengda Construction Company]
I'll cover the deficit in the account.

No problem.

But the deceased's family members
are still at my construction site.

I'll pay all the funeral expenses

and medical bills. That's totally fine.

Bro, you have to help me this time.

I'm also a victim.

You knew it.

Xu Yi.

I'm warning you.

Stop following me!

If you sign this,
I won't follow you anymore.

Just give up, will you?

Xu Yi!

Xu Yi.

Xu Yi.

Uncles,

and leaders,

I will propose a toast.

Uncle Yan is a longtime subordinate
of my father.

He has watched me grow up
since I was a child.

Mr. Liu has always treated me
like his younger brother,

caring for me very much.

Today, I have encountered some trouble,

but I didn't expect

all of you leaders and uncles

to still be here.

I'm really honored.

I'll down it first, cheers.

Don't rush it.

We might not

be able to help you with this.

Yeah, it's such a big issue,

and we can't just suppress it.

Xu Yi,

I had high hopes for you

when I assigned this project to you.

I didn't expect it
to stir up such big trouble.

How do I explain this to my higher-ups?

Mr. Liu.

Please don't be angry.

You're right.
Everything you said makes sense.

It's my fault
for not supervising properly.

I subcontracted

this project to that company,

but I didn't expect them to cut corners

and even alter the blueprints
without authorization.

I would never do
such deceptive practices.

You shouldn't subcontract it
to another company,

do you know that, Xu Yi?

I went to the city for a meeting
a few days ago,

and they've already
set up a special task force.

They'll be sending people
down here soon.

There will be people
sent by the higher-ups?

Exactly.

Xu Yi,

you're really trying to ruin me
this time, aren't you?

Calm down,

Uncle Yan.

Please, can you help me out again?

I... I've already helped you a lot.

I've invited all these people here
to help you out.

Now you're dragging us all down
with you.

Xu Yi, when are you going to repay
the money you owe me?

Don't blame us
for turning our backs on you.

Yes, repay the money.

If you repay the money,
we can discuss things.

I'm sorry, there are guests inside.
You can't go in right now.

We have guests inside. You can't...

I'm Xu Yi's wife.

Allow me to propose a toast
to all of you first.

What's going on?

I've got something
really important today.

Don't stir up trouble.

Since they're all your people,

there's no harm in telling them.

Xu Yi's been abusing me for a long time.

I've been trying to divorce him
for two years but to no avail.

Never mind.

If this continues,
I'll end up dead at his hands.

Nan Ya.

Since you're here
to solve problems today,

please, leaders,

help me resolve this matter too.

There are many secrets
between Xu Yi and me.

I'll spill the beans
to lighten the mood.

Xu Yi.

Would you like to hear the story?

I'm sorry,

this is a family matter.

Please, enjoy your meal.

You lowly woman,

are you trying

to bully me

while I'm now in trouble?

Let me tell you,

if I die,

you and Wanwan
won't live a happy life either.

I'll keep causing trouble

until we get divorced.

What am I afraid of?

I'm already living like this.

Living in the hell couldn't be worse.

Get out of here.

Get away!

I'm not leaving.

If you have the guts,
go ahead and kill me.

I'll be waiting right here for you,

waiting for you to sign the agreement,

waiting for them to come out

and hear our story.

I'm telling you,

you better stop her.

If she comes in to cause trouble again,

I'll make sure
this restaurant will close down.

These two people
are both unreliable.

Why haven't you left yet?

We're about to close.

Can't you even accept me
holding you umbrella?

I've told you before,

that my affairs
have nothing to do with you.

How can it have nothing to do with me?

How can you say that?

You're driving me crazy, you know that?

Sometimes you're distant,
and sometimes you're close.

Sometimes you say you're leaving,

but sometimes you're like a stranger.

Do you have a heart at all?

Tell me, what should I do?

What on earth should I do

so that you can understand
my feelings for you?

I've always understood.

I just don't accept it and I don't care.

I don't want to see you

acting so sentimental.

Love is nothing.

In the face of hardship,

love means nothing at all.

[Looking up at the stars,]

[I know quite well]

[That, for all they care,
I can go to hell]

[But on earth]

[indifference is the least]

[We have to dread from man or beast.]

[How should we like]

[it were stars to burn]

[With a passion for us
we could not return]

[If equal affection cannot be,]

[Let the more loving one]

[be me]

I don't care what you say

and what you think.

I just can't stand
seeing you suffer here.

You may refuse me,

and you may even consider me

a sentimental fool,

but I will take you away
from here,

away from Qingshui Town.

[Collected Poems by W. H. Auden]

[The More Loving One]

Wanwan.

- Wanwan, let's play together.
- Wanwan, let's play together.

Mom,

I'd like to play with them.

Alright then,
you can play with them for a bit.

I'll go heat your medicine.

Don't go too far.

Palm up or palm down?

Palm down.

Palm up, palm down.

Come on, Wanwan.

Palm up, palm down.

One, two, three, wooden man.

No talking, no moving.

Wooden man.

No talking, no moving.

Palm up, palm down.

Wanwan, it's time to take your medicine.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Nan Ya.

Guixiang.

What's wrong?

Has Wanwan come over?

No, she hasn't.

What happened?

I just got home.

She was playing
with the kids at the gate.

I only went inside
to heat the medicine,

and she was gone.

Zhou, you didn't see her
coming here, right?

No, I didn't.

Have you checked

all the places she often goes to?

I just checked some places,

and the kids said they hadn't seen her.

I'll keep looking.

Don't worry too much.

Wanwan.

She won't get lost in such a small town.

Wanwan.

Kidnapping kids is becoming
all too common these days.

Mom, I'll also go help looking for her.

Wanwan.

Go search for her on your bike.

Okay.

Wanwan.

Wei,

have you seen

Nan Ya's daughter, Wanwan?

I haven't.

Xia,

have you seen Nan Ya's daughter, Wanwan?

I haven't.

Madam.

Have you seen Nan Ya's daughter, Wanwan?

She has big eyes.

No.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Have you seen Wanwan around?

No.

Have you seen Wanwan around?

No.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Let's split up to look for her.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Have you seen Wanwan around?

- No.
- No.

So she hasn't been here, right?

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Wanwan.

Madam,

have you seen my daughter Wanwan around?

No.

I've even searched in the mountains
this afternoon.

It's been a whole day.

It's getting dark now.

Where do you think
this child could have gone?

Wanwan used to be very obedient.

She never used to run around.

Yes.

You are back.

So?

Which places have you searched?

We looked for her along the river too.

But we didn't see her.

None of you saw her?

Yeah.

Where could such a little kid go?

I hope she hasn't encountered
any bad people.

Mom, can you please not say that?

Madam Guixiang.

How about we call the police then?

Right, let's call the police.

Could it be her dad who took her away?

Guixiang, can I borrow your phone
for a moment?

Of course.

Well...

We've been looking for her everywhere

but we forgot about her dad.

Just dial it directly.

Hello.

Is Wanwan with you?

Yes, she is.

Xu Yi, what are you trying to do?

If you keep pushing me,

I'll send her away,

and you'll never see her again.

Xu Yi, do you have a heart at all?

You know about Wanwan's condition.

I'm the only one who knows

how to take care of her, her medication,
her diet, and everything.

Don't involve the child

in our affairs, please.

I'm begging you,

just bring Wanwan back to me, okay?

You're divorcing me, aren't you?

It's only natural for the child
to be with her father.

Hello, the number you have dialed
is powered off.

All right.

At least, we now know
she's with her father.

He's her dad after all.

He won't mistreat her.

Guixiang, you don't understand.

Wanwan has always been afraid of Xu Yi
since she was little.

Now, with the sudden change
of living environment

and her medication being interrupted,
I'm worried about her health.

No, I'm going to see Xu Yi right now.

Don't go toe-to-toe with him.

I'm going too.

Zhou Luo.

Zhou Luo.

Madam Guixiang, we'll go with him.

You are all going together?

We'll all go with him.

Don't worry.

Chen Jun,

why don't we go to see your dad first?

Otherwise, if we go to Xu Yi's company

and he doesn't hand over Wanwan,
we won't have any other options.

Alright.

Then I'll go to see my dad first

and ask him to bring along more men.

Okay.

Bing, you go with Qingli.

Okay.

[Shengda Construction Company]

Why hasn't Chen Jun arrived yet?

They would reach here
before us if they were driving.

I can't wait any longer,
I'll go up and take a look first.

Zhou Luo!

He's here.

They refused to come,

saying they couldn't respond
to this type of emergency.

Why?

My dad says they're not divorced yet.

He says it can't be filed when the dad
takes the child away in this situation.

So, we can only
forcefully take the kid back.

Let's go!

Okay.

I'll cover your back.

Be careful.

Be careful.

They left so fast.

Think about it,

are there any other places

that Xu Yi might have gone to?

Did he take her back
to his parents' house?

That's impossible.

He's had a falling-out with his parents.

Did Xu Yi take Wanwan's medicine?

No.

Then he'll definitely go
to the hospital tomorrow

to get a prescription.

You should all go home.

Nan Ya.

Alright, let's split up
into two groups tomorrow.

You two find a secluded spot

to keep an eye on Xu Yi from here

and figure out where he lives.

The three of us will ambush him
at the hospital tomorrow.

I'll get going now.

Don't worry.

Zhou Luo.

Be careful.

There's no other way out.

You should go home now.
