(13 years ago)

Master.

It should be their people.

But

I don't know if Gu Mulan is here.

You're really good at this, Nana.

Did your uncle teach you?

Yes.

Nana.

Do you know how to write Mulan?

Is it the Mulan of Hua Mulan?

(Mulan) Sort of.

(Mulan) Write it for me to see.

Boss.

What is it?

Gun has something to discuss with you.

Honey.

Did something happen?

Today is my daughter's birthday.

That's the biggest event.

Come on. Let's cut the cake.

=Chase the Truth=

(Adapted from Zhao Junkai's novel "Northwest Off-North is Not North")

=Episode 11=

Dad.

Your dad is gone.

(What happened?)

How many warehouses do you have?

Where are they?

Who do you think you are?

Can you recall now?

Is killing me what Gu wants?

I was just playing with Fei.

You really took it seriously.

What do you want to do?

You're this old.

For the matter of meeting Mr. Gu,

let's have Fei handle it.

Okay?

Before he comes back,

give me your phone.

I'll keep it for you temporarily.

At the resort,

there's a landline.

If you want to find me,

press the number-one key.

I'll be there on call.

Give me your phone and gun.

Give him.

I don't have a phone.

Gun.

There's a big party tonight.

The annual Golden Lamb Festival

is right downstairs where you live.

Feel free to come and watch.

I see. Gu's reserved event.

You aren't worried about attracting the police's attention?

It's open to the public now.

In the past,

the winning side

could get one percent of the group's annual profit.

Now it's all about charity.

If someone wins,

the money will be donated in his name.

Of course.

If anyone urgently needs the money,

they can have it.

Tonight, Mr. Jiang

will roast a lamb himself.

Feel free to come and taste it.

Which Mr. Jiang?

My father-in-law,

Mr. Jiang Jiuping.

(Blue Sky Hotel)

Nana

is as considerate as you are.

She's a lot like you.

You raised her so well.

Does she

regard you

as her own father and mother in her heart?

In 2006,

her mother helped me to the South Sea to negotiate a fruit business deal.

The mountain road was not easy to travel at night.

Around 2:30 a.m.,

perhaps due to fatigue,

the car overturned down the mountain.

Until now, her mother's body hasn't been found.

Back then, Nana

was just six years old.

After that,

she has been with me ever since.

If her mother were still alive,

according to the lunar calendar,

today would have been her 45th birthday.

When did her mother pass away?

October.

It's been 15 years now.

What about her dad?

A short-lived person and a heartless man.

Just mentioning him feels like it brings bad luck.

Let's not talk about him, then.

Officer Cheng.

To commemorate my sister,

I'll host a whole lamb feast tonight.

How about this?

You

invite Dr. Mu Xiaowan.

I'll invite Mr. Mu.

Let the dad and daughter

take this opportunity

to have a good meal.

What do you think?

Sure.

Then we'll

do as you say.

Thank you.

To be honest, Officer Cheng.

I hardly make friends with a police officer.

So

I'd like to consult you on some criminal matters.

Mr. Jiang, you should be careful.

I'm in charge of the Vice Squad.

You're here

running a hotel.

Be careful not to say anything wrong.

If I have any evidence,

I'll report it to you immediately.

Talking to you here,

I'm not afraid of being accused of defamation.

I'm just concerned

about affecting family harmony.

Mr. Jiang.

Are you going to sacrifice your family for justice?

As a businessman,

abiding by the law and keeping one's word are equally important.

There should be no ambiguity.

I dare not leave any ambiguity either.

Officer Cheng.

If you're free tonight,

I'd like you to meet someone.

Whether they're on the dark side or not, it's up to you.

Okay.

Hello?

(Mr. Long.)

(It's me.)

(Can we talk?)

I'm on your turf now.

Whatever you say goes.

(Thanks for the photos.)

No problem.

(I need to check if the cave-dwelling is worth that price first)

(before I can pay you.)

(You do understand, right?)

This matter

needs to be discussed in person.

(General Manager's Office)

Ji.

Sha Xiaofei doesn't know there's a warehouse in Liujia Bay.

He mentioned a main warehouse

and knew the address.

I've sent someone to follow him.

If we can dig out something,

I won't need to negotiate with Gun.

You won't have to wait for my orders then.

Just kill him.

If we can't find it,

keep Sha Xiaofei alive.

I need him

to help me negotiate with Gun.

Rest assured.

It's all arranged.

Sha Xiaofei will send you a message tonight.

(I'm on your turf now.)

(What's the inconvenience?)

(Gun's warehouse is in Liujia Bay.)

(The photos and location)

(have already been sent to your phone.)

Is this the same person?

No, it's not.

The ripples don't match.

It's probably a disguise.

There must be something fishy going on.

Have you heard of Long Qi?

Yes.

I don't know if this person is real or fake.

It's very troublesome.

Tonight, find a way

to control him separately.

Should I keep him alive?

If you can, yes.

If not, then forget it.

Nana.

I'm looking for Ji.

Nana.

Ji.

When can I call my dad?

In an hour,

your dad

will call this number.

Go back and wait.

Okay, I got it.

She has been acting strange lately.

Be more vigilant.

Okay.

The victim of Gun,

Hanbei's police officer, Cheng Fan.

Gun's godson, Zhang Yu,

was killed by him back then.

Did Jiang bring him here?

Not necessarily.

Both Gun

and Long Qi are here.

Suddenly, he appears.

It shouldn't be a coincidence.

You must be careful tonight.

Don't let Cheng Fan

run into Gun or Long Qi.

Ji.

How about

you avoid it too?

Don't confront the police head-on.

If Cheng Fan can come here now,

it means he has investigated me.

Moreover,

the Golden Lamb Festival is an annual event.

If I don't attend,

it will make me more suspicious.

Also,

if I don't attend,

I won't be able to call the roll.

If I don't call the roll, you won't qualify to go on stage.

If you can't go on stage, you won't get the Golden Lamb prize money.

Then, the Black Cloak will lose its source of income.

It's okay.

Don't worry about me.

I have a way to deal with Cheng Fan.

(Golden Lamb Festival)

The fire is lit.

Hello.

Move forward.

Come, sit here.

This is nice.

Look.

Hello?

(Is it Nana?)

(It's Dad.)

(Nana?)

(Hello?)

(Nana.)

Dad.

Um,

were you the one who cheered for me

in the small auditorium?

(Come on.)

Dad, where are you?

I miss you so much. I want to see you.

Can I have a video call with you?

Can I?

(Nana.)

(I miss you every day too.)

(I want to reunite with you.)

(I promise you.)

(Before the end of this year,)

(we'll reunite.)

Dad.

Are you Gu Mulan?

(Nana.)

(Gu Mulan is a big villain.)

(I didn't have time to be with you in these years.)

(Did I become a big villain in your heart?)

Then, are you a police officer?

(Nana.)

(Don't think wildly.)

(It's the Golden Lamb Festival tonight.)

(It's your mom's birthday.)

(You must be happy.)

(Right?)

Dad.

I want to see you now.

(I'm sorry, Nana.)

(I'm in Moscow now.)

(I'm really busy.)

(After this busy period,)

(we can be together.)

(Take good care of yourself.)

(Be good.)

(I will be home as soon as possible.)

(To be honest, I miss you too.)

You should continue with your work.

(Goodbye, Nana.)

Goodbye, Dad.

Gun.

Mr. Ji asked me to tell you

that your archenemy is also here.

Don't walk around without permission.

Which enemy?

The one who killed Yu.

Where's my son?

He's talking to Mr. Gu.

You,

stay put.

Don't wander around.

Come here for a moment.

You go

talk to Zhou Ji.

What does this mean?

You still don't believe me?

What do you think?

It's all here.

See for yourself.

Hello?

(Fei.)

(Thank you.)

I know you sincerely want to help me.

I also want to help you.

Do you know Lu Wentian?

(Fei.)

Let me tell you the story of Liujia Bay.

Yin fades, and Yang grows.

Three lambs bring bliss.

Once a year,

we gather for the golden lamb.

First of all,

allow me to represent Blue Sky Hotel

and welcome all partners and customers.

May the golden lamb be fat and business be smooth.

This year, as usual,

the winner of the Golden Lamb Festival

will receive one percent of the group's annual profit

for use in Kalisha's

charity and education projects.

Now,

let's welcome the golden lamb.

Who's that?

Mr. Cheng, it's me.

Linna, have a seat.

Sorry to disturb you.

Have a seat.

Mr. Cheng.

I've come to find you

because of two things.

Go ahead.

I saw Long Qi at the Western Grand Hotel.

But he might be at my house now.

Yet I didn't find his check-in information.

Also,

the owner of that hotel

is the old man

you asked me to identify.

But he's not a deaf-mute.

He can speak.

The deaf-mute in Hanbei Hospital?

Yes.

Why were you in the Western Grand Hotel?

To have dinner with my brother-in-law.

I could feel Long Qi was in danger

at that time.

But I didn't know which room he was in.

I couldn't help him.

But I haven't mentioned this matter to anyone.

I promise.

I'm sorry.

I only know this much.

It's okay.

You're overthinking it.

So, what's the second thing?

This was taken on my sixth birthday.

My dad's name

is Gu Jianguo.

My mom's name

is Jiang Jiulin.

But

they all lied to me.

Now,

I can basically confirm

that my dad

is the villain everyone is cursing in Kalisha,

Gu Mulan.

But don't worry.

I won't harm you.

I won't harm anyone here.

Mr. Cheng.

Can I turn myself in?

Nana.

Regardless of what your dad

has done,

you won't be held responsible for it.

I admire your courage.

Do you know where your dad is now?

He said he was in Moscow.

I didn't ask for the specifics.

But he just called me.

(Recent calls) It's the first number.

Well,

how do you remember your dad?

I

don't have any memories of him.

The only thing I have a slight impression of

is my sixth birthday.

Do you remember the wound on my foot?

It wasn't from a hyena bite.

It was a bullet wound.

21st August 2006.

It was my birthday.

At that time, your dad was holding you.

It should be.

I don't remember it very well.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Mr. Cheng.

As I said last time,

I love my body.

Mr. Cheng.

I don't know what my dad

has done.

But please believe

that my uncle

and my sister

are both good people.

They are very kind and law-abiding.

Can you

not harm them?

You can rest assured.

We won't wrongly accuse any innocent, good people.

I've said everything.

If you have any more questions,

feel free to come to me anytime,

including my uncle and sister.

They will cooperate.

Nana.

Don't stress yourself too much.

Qiao Dan.

Get some water.

Let's just have a casual chat.

Let's talk about your family,

your uncle,

your sister,

and your brother-in-law.

Now, let's welcome our boxing champion,

Jiang,

onto the stage.

Cheers and applause.

Jiang!

Jiang!

Jiang!

If anyone wants to challenge him, please come on stage.

Jiang!

Jiang!

Jiang!

It's as lively as ever this year.

Right.

Jiang!

Anyone in the audience

wants to challenge him?

If there is, come on stage

and accept the challenge from Jiang.

Come on.

Can I hear some applause and cheers?

Yin.

I see our contestant

has already entered our octagon cage.

Let's interview him. Please introduce yourself.

Nice!

Wenli.

I'll go over there and say hello to my old friends.

Jiang!

(Xia Peng)

(Captain of Kalisha's) Good job, Captain Duan.

(Criminal Investigation Brigade) I'm Xia Peng from Kalisha.

I'm Duan Qing from Hanbei.

Why did you come down?

Go back.

Gun asked me to come.

There's a cop.

To arrest you?

What are you trying to do?

Nothing.

Just walking around.

(Thanks for the information.)

(But there are some things)

(can only be discussed when it's convenient.)

(Go back now.)

What do you mean?

Are you trying to frame me?

Buddy.

There are some things

that need to be clarified.

You've got the wrong person.

Then there's nothing to talk about.

Go back.

Continue talking.

Ask him if he's been to Liujia Bay cave dwellings.

Liujia Bay cave dwellings.

Have you been there?

I've been there long ago,

and there,

I heard about something incredible.

A shocking miscarriage of justice.

(About my brother-in-law,)

(that's all I know.)

(But I still want to believe)

(he's a good person at heart.)

Master.

I saw Yihan downstairs.

Go.

Bring Dr. Mu over.

Okay.

Nana.

Let's end our discussion here.

Thank you.

Okay. Goodbye, Mr. Cheng.

Goodbye.

Oh, by the way,

ask Long Qi to be careful.

In this match,

Yin wins!

Yin!

That was a good match.

For those in the audience who want to challenge Yin,

please come on stage.

If not,

then today's golden lamb

will belong to Yin.

Okay. Let me count down.

If there's no challenger,

Yin,

you'll take the golden lamb home today, okay?

Come on, everyone. Let's countdown together.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight!

Seven!

Six!

Five.

Four.

Three.

I believe some people have already recognized this contestant.

He is our province's three-time boxing champion.

He's the Desert War God,

named...

Ku!

Ku!

Ku!

Captain Xia.

Hi.

I've told you many times.

The line must be investigated now.

Tell them to come and replace it.

Qiao Dan.

Everything's set.

Ku, come on!

Ku!

Come on!

Ku!

Ku!

Ku.

(Ku.)

(Ku.)

Hello?

(Mr. Cheng.)

The food is ready.

The person is also here.

If you're free,

come down for a visit.

Alright.

I'll come down right away.

Alright, I'll wait for you.

You can go back now.

Ku!

(Don't move.)

Mr. Jiang.

Thank you.

Here, Officer Cheng. Sit here.

Dr. Mu, you're here too.

Officer Cheng.

Xiaowan, come and sit here.

The specifications for this competition are really high.

That's right.

This Ku.

I heard about him in Hanbei.

Who invited him?

The person I told you about,

my son-in-law, Zhou Ji, invited him.

Officer Cheng.

I am a person

who cares a lot about family

and my family members.

If you think he has a problem,

feel free to investigate.

I'll cooperate fully.

Hello, Gun.

(Did you see Cheng Fan?)

Of course.

If he dares to come,

he must have come prepared.

Whether he's after you or me,

if one of us fails,

we'll all be finished.

(I'll give you five boxes.)

(Don't let him leave this place alive.)

He's a police officer.

He's also a heart patient.

Sudden death

is sometimes unavoidable.

(If you don't do it, I will.)

If a police officer dies here,

I don't believe you can clear your name.

Gun.

Listen to me.

Don't be impulsive.

Leave it to me.

Alright?

Hello?

Boss.

Zhou Ji is up to no good.

Your judgment was spot-on.

I brought two of our men in.

Others are guarding at the door.

Jin.

There's a cop here.

Don't be impulsive.

Take some people to coordinate.

Don't let Long Qi get caught by the police.

(Also,)

(Gu's daughter is here too.)

Find a chance

to take her away together.

Alright.

(Zhou Ji is a cunning person.)

He invited me to Hanbei,

(likely planning a sneak attack.)

(Then he'll go after you,)

(and use you to blackmail me.)

(Be prepared.)

Understood.

Answer the phone.

Boss.

Forget about me.

Did I look convincing?

Very convincing.

Ku!

Ku!

Ku!

Bring two pots of tea

to Mr. Jiang's table.

Others will have Pu'er tea.

The one in a wheelchair

will have Apocynum tea.

Go now.

The fight is intense.

Come, try some lamb.

It's really delicious.

Here, Dr. Mu.

I've heard about it.

They say the lambs in Kalisha

drink glacial water

and are herbal-fed.

Even their feces are all herbal pills.

Eat more.

If you like it,

I have more.

I have a question.

I'm curious.

You're a top expert in cardiothoracic surgery.

Why did you leave the central hospital

and start Murray Hospital?

It's like this.

At that time, the medical conditions and equipment

at the central hospital were very bad.

Mr. Mu wanted to improve the local medical standards,

so he invested with me

and established Murray Hospital.

I finally found you.

This is quite sumptuous.

Here.

Freshly roasted.

Here.

Come on!

Come on!

Ku!

Ku!

Ku!

Ku!

Xiaowan.

Someone.

Take him to the hospital.

Master.

Water.

I'll go check.

The winner of this match

is...

Ku!

Applause for Ku.

Are there any more people in the audience

who want to challenge Ku?

Please come on stage.

Your dad seems a bit unhappy.

Let me go check.

Jiang.

I'll take him back for a checkup.

Make way.

Dad.

Zhou Ji.

What are you trying to do?

It's a competitive sport.

Injuries are unavoidable.

Besides,

it's just entertainment.

Don't take it too seriously.

How about this?

I'll apologize

on behalf of Ku.

Zhou Ji.

You know that Yin has been with me since he was 16.

If something happens to him, how can I explain it to him?

How about this?

Let Ku follow you

and be your personal assistant.

He's much

smarter than Yin.

His service will be excellent.

What do you think?

Zhou Ji.

Tonight, we have distinguished guests from all walks of life,

including an officer from the Public Security Bureau.

This Golden Lamb Festival

is not our family matter.

Mr. Jiang.

Don't be agitated.

You must be the friend my dad invited.

Look at my hand.

I'm Cheng Fan from Hanbei.

Zhou Ji.

Mr. Zhou.

Officer Cheng.

In our country,

how many years does one get

for illegal possession of firearms?

That depends on the specific situation.

Does anyone here

possess firearms illegally?

Illegal possession of firearms?

Who would dare?

Mr. Zhou.

I just received a report from the public.

It said there are prohibited items

in your room.

Prohibited items?

What prohibited items?

It seems to be ivory products.

Who's the audacious person

making such a joke?

Officer Cheng.

I don't need you to show a search warrant.

I invite you to come to my room and see for yourself.

Well...

Are you here alone?

I have another colleague.

Okay.

Please bring him along.

Qiao Dan.

Come to the octagon cage.

Wait a moment.

Do you see that person in the wheelchair?

(Does he look familiar?)

We failed last time.

Let's try again today.

There are too many people.

It's inconvenient.

I want him dead today.

What are you doing here?

I was looking for you.

It's only been two days,

and you miss me this much?

You jerk.

Where else do you want to hide?

(Come with me.)

Bring that girl back for me first.

Come with me.

This is my home.

Let's find a place with no one around

and settle our score properly.

Long Qi.

Where are you going?

Bring her back.

Mr. Ji.

Sorry.

Is she really Gu's daughter?

(Yes.)

Don't worry.

I know what to do.

(I'm Gu Mulan's daughter. Do you believe me?)

(You may not believe me, but someone wants to harm you. Leave now!)

(Gu Linna is Gu Mulan's daughter.)
