[Advance Bravely]

[Episode 21]

Found anything?

Look at how horrible his relations are.

His terrible personality reflects his family.

Bastard.

How about... we go to his eldest uncle's house and ask about him?

His uncle's place is easier to find.

It's in the southernmost part of the village.

Sure, let's take a look.

Let's go.

Hello, can I ask you about someone?

Who are you guys?

We're...

Are you Wang Zhishui's aunt?

What do you want?

We're looking for Wang Zhishui.

We don't know where he stays, so we hope you'd help us.

If you know this house, you won't be clueless about his house.

We really don't know, so we're here to ask.

I don't know!

- Hey. - Get lost.

Hey!

- What should we do? - I told you. Their family has issues.

We probably can't find him by asking the villagers.

Seems like we'll have to ask the village committee.

Come on.

Thank goodness the village committee was helpful.

We would've wasted this trip if they refused to help.

This should be the place.

Let's take a look.

I guess no one's home.

Hey, kid! Stop knocking!

This house has been empty for ages.

I heard that they've been hospitalized.

Hospital fees are expensive.

Dying is a far better option.

Huh?

They've been hospitalized?

What terrible deeds did this family commit?

You guys must be clueless.

I'll tell you.

Li Chunqing and Wang Kaicai worked as performers when they were younger.

They were in a troupe.

Whenever there was a funeral, they'd head over to perform.

Wang Kaicai was a drag performer.

Li Chunqing was a dancer.

She performed those kinds of dances.

Those kinds?

Those kinds!

What kind?

Well... those kinds.

What kind?

Striptease.

Yes, that's right.

She's shameless.

She's always trying to seduce men.

Who knows whose child she gave birth to?

When her son was two years old, she made her son perform circus tricks on stage.

Do you know how her mother-in-law died?

She abused her mother-in-law all the time. She's not the slightest bit filial.

We'd always hear her mother-in-law quarreling with her from our yards.

They'd wail and yell. We couldn't even sleep well at night.

I almost lost my mind back then.

You know what? That old lady hanged herself.

Huh?

She hanged herself on her grandson's doorframe.

The old lady brought that boy up all by herself.

What wrong did that kid even do?

Why did she torture him like that?

I don't get it.

After that, Wang Kaicai ran away.

Li Chunqing fell terribly sick.

Their house stinks like hell.

Her kid doesn't even come home often.

His mom is sick, but he doesn't come to visit her.

You know what? Li Chunqing deserves this as retribution.

In the village, everyone hates this woman.

She's committed all sorts of evil.

This is retribution for her wrongs.

Everyone gets pissed off at the mention of her name.

Got it?

I don't think he's a hardened thief.

Look, he learned circus tricks from a young age.

I bet he's a nimble guy.

Didn't you hear that woman?

He hates his mom.

He definitely didn't steal to pay his mom's medical bills.

Maybe he wants the money to fool around with woman and gamble.

That's none of my business.

Will you continue going after him?

His grandma saved him.

I'll leave him be.

Why are you calling me?

I'm checking if you're still alive.

How is it over there?

Cold.

I never thought you'd be afraid of the cold.

I'm not. I want you to know how cold I'm feeling.

Are you trying to add to my joy?

You sound like you're in a great mood.

Do I?

Haven't I always been like this?

What mischief were you up to again?

What could I possibly have done?

Besides, even if I'm up to no good,

that's none of your business.

Well, who's supposed to intervene then?

I'll punish myself.

Will you really?

I wasn't up to no good. Why should I punish myself?

Do you miss me?

Why would I miss you?

I have so many friends.

Every single one of them is more pleasant than you.

It's so cold! So cold!

- Is that your sister? - Yeah.

Brother, who are you talking to on the phone?

It's Xia Yao, right?

He hung up.

All right. Your dad's specialties are here.

- Oh! Thanks, Aunty. - Aunty.

Aunty, take it easy.

- Peng Peng, eat more. - I will.

Aunty, take a break.

Don't worry.

Come on, try this dish my mom made. It's delicious.

- Aunty is even prettier now. - Get me some of that.

Come on, eat more.

Are you done with your food so soon?

Look at this! I'm here!

You're way too hyped up.

When my friend asked you to star in a major commercial, you refused.

Why are you so delighted by a single shot?

This is different!

Quick, look! Cool, right?

Good lord, why do I have a friend like you?

Why do I have a childhood friend like you?

We are committed to cultivating a security consultancy representative of China.

We hope to erase the negative image of bodyguards.

Our goal is to cultivate a top-tier training institution for security consultancy.

Under scientific, standardized, accurate, and systematic education and training,

we will nurture individuals competent in investigation and judgment,

security and defense, intelligence gathering, the country's laws,

public relations, and other essential professional knowledge.

Trainees will master driving, swimming and diving,

first aid, IT skills...

Hello, everyone.

I'm a trainee of this academy.

I'll be giving you an introduction of this bodyguard academy.

This academy focuses on cultivating elite trainees.

In combat, kickboxing, and...

Pass along this message. No one is allowed to make direct reports to President Yuan.

They have to seek my approval first.

Got it.

Hey, you know what?

Ever since we returned from Wang Zhishui's hometown,

you've been calling me a dozen times every day.

Now that you've given up your vengeance on Wang Zhishui,

have you lost all motivation for life?

Have you become an empty shell?

Somewhat.

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm at the bodyguard company.

Why are you there all the time?

Have you bought their stocks?

Nah.

The staff members are at a resort. I'm helping out.

So, you've been left behind to work while they're having fun?

They don't even get time off for Lunar New Year.

I approved their break this time.

Why are you part of management now?

- Why are you- - Hey.

Why is Wang Zhishui on your balcony?

What? I...

Come over here, Xia Yao. Let's take a group photo.

[Shi Tianbiao]

Hello? Is that Xia Yao?

Come over quickly. There's trouble.

What's going on?

We were enjoying the hot spring.

These thugs barged in and started a fight!

We didn't want to ruin our company's reputation, so we tried to appease them.

In the end, they trampled all over us. They yelled at us and hit us.

Tough guys like us won't take this lying down!

- Do you know these guys? - Just one of them.

- Who is it? - That one.

He's called Wang Chuan, a bodyguard of Black Panther Special Forces.

His code name is Black.

Both companies were evenly matched, but you guys have been in the spotlight for too long.

They must be boiling with hatred. I bet they've wanted to duke it out for ages.

But, our company is at the edge of a cliff right now.

If we fight back, our company will suffer regardless of the outcome.

But we have no other choice. We're fighters.

We can't stand being bullied.

Go to hell!

Reporters!

Should we notify President Yuan?

No need!

Let's fight!

Still want to fight?

If they really report this, our company will...!

Let's fight to the fullest!

I'll take full responsibility!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

What are you guys doing! Beat them!

Hit them! Fight!

Brother Zhang?

Why are you here?

Get in. We'll talk somewhere else.

Who is this?

I'll tell you later.

Hurry up and get in.

Brother Zhang. Who's the V.I.P we're waiting for?

You'll know when they're here.

[Mr. Xia]

Are you here? I'll go down and get you.

Please give me a moment.

This is Mr. Xia, the person I mentioned.

Nice to meet you.

I'm here to thank you.

Our company and Black Panther Special Forces

happen to be hosting a bodyguard sparring competition at the resort.

We had no plans of contacting reporters for advertising.

You guys are unexpectedly eager.

You've recorded everything down for us.

Your report will flatter us so much.

Exactly.

You are aware that this is a competition, right?

Well...

Can you show me the photos you took today?

This is Zhongzi, a contestant from Black Panther.

I'm just an errand boy for my company.

He's really going easy on me.

When you publish this, remember to mosaic my face.

I don't want to draw attention.

Look.

Their angles are great.

- Their gazes are so sharp. - Yeah.

- The moves are fierce too. - Exactly.

Don't you think so?

Look at this one.

This is a clear advantage.

That's right.

Not bad. Nice.
