Original subtitles

(Five years ago)

Embezzling firearms

to establish oneself.

If this were ancient times,

it would be called rebellion.

That would lead to beheading.

Let me speak from the heart.

You're the one with the gun,

and I'm the one making drugs.

You look down on me.

That's normal.

But

you can't bully me.

On New Year's Eve in 2013,

you slapped me

in front of my daughter.

To be honest,

I've held a grudge since then.

It looks like I went easy on you.

In the first two years,

your business was booming.

I didn't even dare to look at you directly.

But there's a principle

you should understand.

You can't rise too high and overshadow the master.

A rising dynasty

has no immortal heroes.

Unexpectedly,

before Gu could act,

you dug your own grave.

It's too bad.

Who informed Gu?

Lin Ke.

Do you believe it?

Beautiful women always lie.

I didn't expect you and I to be the same.

We both chose to believe her.

I never told her

what I was going to do.

Lin Ke is quite a clever lady.

You just move a little,

and she can figure out

what you're up to.

At first sight of her,

I just wanted to sleep with her.

But up to now,

I haven't dared to even touch her.

She's cunning and beautiful.

Unfathomable.

I can't handle her.

You can't either.

Gu probably can't either.

Yin.

It's not worth it for you to die fighting with me.

I advise you to withdraw your people.

Otherwise, there might be consequences that neither of us can afford to bear.

You know,

the only thing I can't resist is a woman's tears.

But here,

there's no woman.

Nini is with me.

(Sorry the subscriber you dialed can not be connected,)

(please redail later.)

Gun.

If it's a matter between us,

keep it between us.

The child should be spared from harm, right?

Fei should also be in your basement, right?

Okay.

I promise you.

I will release Fei for sure.

But today,

you really can't leave.

You should be aware

that Fei isn't my biological son, right?

Stop the car!

Rest assured.

Nini will be fine.

=Chase the Truth=

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

=Episode 14=

I know.

You want to step on your family

and teammates to enjoy the wealth alone, right?

You misunderstood.

I don't have a family now,

nor do I have teammates.

How about this?

Let's both put our guns down

and talk nicely.

Isn't this much better?

Let me take a call.

(Duan)

I just want to talk to you nicely.

Tell me. What do you want by doing this?

I want Chu Yihan.

Why do you want him?

Officer Cheng.

What you should be dealing with now

is to make sure he appears

in front of me within 20 minutes.

Time waits for no one.

Don't test the patience of young people.

It's very dangerous.

Sha Xiaofei.

I know you're in a difficult situation now,

and you need someone to protect you,

but he's not the best choice.

If you want him to be your hostage

as a bargaining chip for negotiations with Gu Mulan,

we won't agree.

I'll say it again.

I want Chu Yihan.

As a return,

I can let Chu Yihan

and Lin Ke

return safely together.

Why should we trust you?

Because only I know where my seventh aunt is.

Alright.

I'll add another chip.

Pei Yin.

In your case files,

he should have been dead

for five years.

Where is Pei Yin now?

I can give him to you,

but not now.

Then what are you trying to achieve?

Officer Cheng.

You've investigated me,

so you should know me.

If you don't want to talk nicely, just arrest me.

Let's go down together.

Calm down.

I'm here to solve the problem.

Then call Chu Yihan

and tell him I'm waiting here for him.

I don't have that authority.

Fan.

Fan.

You guys are like stepfathers.

Don't you care because he's not your own child?

I didn't call them here.

I'll let them leave now, okay?

Duan Qing.

You quickly leave here.

Go as far as you can.

Xiaowan's child is in his hands.

I'm negotiating with him.

Let's go.

Mu Xiaoye is in their hands.

Retrieve the surveillance around Loulan Elementary School.

Don't miss anything.

(Yes, sir.)

Second Squadron, depart now to search.

Bring the hostage back, no matter what.

Yes, sir.

How about this?

I'll handcuff myself.

This way, I pose no threat to you.

Alright?

My gun is here too.

I won't harm you.

If you want, you can tie me up and take me away.

I want Chu Yihan.

Calm down, okay?

I can bypass my superiors

and help you find Chu Yihan.

I can even let him go.

But the premise is that you give me the clues

about Ye and Lin Ke

because they're my good friends.

Even if I die,

I won't leave them alone.

If you tell me this clue...

Officer Cheng.

It will be your meritorious performance.

Telling you is useless.

If you can turn yourself in now,

I'll try my best to help reduce your sentence.

Stop talking nonsense with me!

Lu Wentian gave me some information.

I know about your childhood,

the changes in your family,

and all your experiences.

To be honest,

I feel both sympathy and pity.

I've studied your file,

and your crimes are not severe.

As long as you behave well,

in a few years,

you can return to society

and become a normal person.

I really want to know.

What makes me abnormal?

This is your chance.

Turn yourself in,

and I will definitely fight

for a fair judgment for you.

Where were you

when my real father was killed?

Where were you

when Lu Wentian kidnapped me?

Where were you

when I was tied up alone in the basement?

Now you're advising me to turn over a new leaf?

Isn't it too late?

Your father's case was overturned years ago.

The police chief, Chief Li,

had tried hard to provide compensation

but couldn't find direct relatives.

Of course, you were taken away by Lu Wentian at the time.

- But later, the new chief... - Shut up!

Get Chu Yihan here.

Sha Xiaofei.

You're looking for me, right?

I'll go with you.

What are you doing here?

Leave now. It's an order.

Uncle.

My mom's clue is in his hands.

I have no choice.

Get lost. Go.

Put down the detonator.

There's an even more powerful one.

Do you want to try it?

Duan Qing, there's a bomb here.

Call the bomb disposal team.

Chu Yihan.

They sent you to go undercover.

You sneaked around without daring to make a sound.

They didn't care whether you live or die.

Honestly, I feel sorry for you.

Let's change the rules of the game today.

He goes with me.

I'll cover for him.

If you need to contact him, I won't stop you.

If you want to catch Zhou Ji,

Pei Yin,

and Gu Mulan,

I can help.

How's that?

I'll be the bait, and he'll be the line.

Without either of us,

you won't catch Gu Mulan.

Don't misunderstand,

Officer Cheng.

I'm not your informant.

We're just using each other.

My demands are this simple.

Duan Qing.

The bomb disposal team has departed.

You quickly locate the bomb's position.

(Continue the action, Scorpio)

Lock onto this number.

Li.

Yes, sir.

Chief Tai. The number is on the Zhuque Road's middle section

in Hanbei New District.

Duan Qing.

After the child comes back,

have Chu Yihan leave with him.

Why, Master?

(Just execute the order.)

Wait.

Where's the child?

Where's the bomb?

Loulan's basketball court.

The kid was disobedient.

He skipped class

and went to play basketball.

Duan Qing.

The child is on Loulan's basketball court.

There's a bomb.

Pass it to me.

To show my sincerity,

I'll put it here.

But no matter if I press it or not,

when the time comes, the bomb will explode.

Officer Cheng.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

Yihan.

What you're doing is illegal.

Put the police gun down.

Kids.

Let's not play for now.

I'll take you to buy ice cream, okay?

Is that okay?

Take the ball. Let's go.

Hurry. Let's go.

Quickly retreat!

There's a bomb. Quickly retreat!

Hurry, retreat.

Are you kidding?

Have you heard of Pei Yin?

Pei Yin?

Are you working for him now?

Don't be so sharp.

That's called cooperation.

We take what we need.

By the way,

he has someone called Tang under him.

Be careful.

His hands are even dirtier than yours.

You don't have anything.

Why is he cooperating with you?

Trying to get words out of me?

I'll tell you the truth.

I have an armory in my hands.

Go ahead and arrest me.

If you arrest me,

you won't see your mom again.

My mother is in Pei Yin's hands?

Not bad.

You're quite smart.

Indeed a potential undercover agent.

By the way,

you're not carrying anything you shouldn't, right?

I advise you.

If you have,

quickly throw it out the window.

If Pei Yin finds it, I can't save you.

Do I need you to save me?

Did you watch the game earlier?

The playoffs were exciting.

I haven't watched since Kobe retired.

Kobe fan?

Don't I look like one?

Isolation play.

A pull-up jumper.

81 points.

You're the same.

A lone hero.

I've always been wondering

whether I can be as strong as Kobe in my lifetime.

Are you comparing yourself to Kobe?

I definitely earn more money than him.

Let me tell you.

Even if you find Desert Tiger's legacy,

you have to hand it all over.

You won't get a single cent.

Don't speak too soon.

Watch out for a slap in the face.

Why didn't you eat at all?

Li.

I made soup for you.

Have a little.

Do you remember Dad?

Was he strict?

I remember him.

He was with me from birth until 1992.

In 1992, he had some trouble

and sent me to the Jiang Residence.

But whenever he had a chance,

he would come to see me.

I still remember that when I was probably in my third year of college,

there was a guy off-campus

who kept harassing me.

I don't know from where he heard this.

Later, he helped me resolve the trouble.

This...

(My daughter was born on 21st August 2000.)

(Her nickname is Nana.)

Dad dropped out in the second year of junior high,

so he's not very good at writing.

He made a lot of spelling mistakes.

But

every time he sees you,

he becomes very happy and excited,

so he writes a lot.

There are 302 articles here.

Dad has spent a total of 302 days with you.

Come on.

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

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

(I'll try to arrange for your dad to talk to you)

before the festival.

Then you can ask him in person

if he's the big villain.

(People's Public Security)

Chief Tai, Yihan has arrived at Yong'an Road.

Bring Cheng Fan and Duan Qing here.

Yes, sir.

Hello, Master.

Zhou Ji, what are you doing at my house?

(General Manager's Office)

Li.

Hello.

(Hello.)

Hello?

(Is it Nana?)

(It's me.)

(I'm your dad.)

Nana.

It's me. I'm your dad.

(Nana.)

(It's me.)

(I'm your dad.)

Weren't you arrested by the police?

How did you escape?

The police also claimed that Northwest Wolves Gang was wiped out.

The whole world now knows who you are.

Do you think you're in a spy movie,

officer?

You're a police officer?

Sha Xiaofei.

Are you acting with me too?

I helped you find your biological father.

If you don't thank me, it's fine.

But you went to find the police next. What do you want to do?

How is that possible?

I'm just asking for death if I go to the police.

Regarding Gun's matter,

I'm actually quite upset about it too.

You can't run around at a time like this.

If you accidentally fall into the hands of the police,

you will be going to accompany Gun.

Actually, we can...

We can cooperate.

You want guns, right?

The warehouse is in my hands.

How much do you want?

Really?

Where is the warehouse?

Can you take me to see it?

To go there

is not too far,

but it's not convenient.

How about this?

I'll make a call and have Mr. Jin deliver it to you.

Mr. Jin's number is on my phone.

Sorry to trouble you.

You don't have to be so careful.

Everyone in our house who can breathe

is already dead.

Hello?

(It's me, Fei.)

(I'm at the old villa on Yong'an Road.)

What's the matter?

(Someone wants to buy our goods.)

(Hurry up.)

Oh.

Let me prepare.

The warehouse is in your hands?

How is that possible?

You know Gun well.

Fei must have run into trouble.

Mr. Jin, what happened to Fei?

You...

You can't leave him alone.

If you don't want to go,

I'll go by myself.

Tang, stop roasting.

Clean up and get ready to go to Yong'an Road.

Don't be afraid.

I'll take you

to find Fei now.

Hello?

Ji, you're in Hanbei, right? I have something to talk to you about.

I'm busy right now.

Wait for me to go back.

(I must see you right away.)

What's so urgent?

My dad, my sister,

and your computer.

(Give me an address.)

(I'll be there tomorrow morning.)

Okay.

See you tomorrow. I'll hang up first.

Master.

You want to vent? Go ahead.

That brat.

You've spoiled him quite enough these years.

If he does this to me again,

let me...

Go ahead.

What is it, Master?

Tell me the truth.

Did you arrange everything today?

Yihan is not very mature,

but we have to give him a chance to grow.

Take a look at this.

This is what I received this afternoon.

At 1:25 p.m., to be precise.

It's different from the last one.

This time, the location where this message was sent is in Hanbei.

When the message was sent,

(Continue the action, Scorpio) the signal was

still on Zhuque Road in New District.

After going west for a few minutes,

the signal was interrupted.

This is not right.

There's a garbled code within the horizontal lines.

This is not from Captain Lin.

You're right.

It's definitely not from Lin Ke.

Did you already know that?

Fan.

If Captain Lin could return to Hanbei,

she would definitely contact you.

In other words,

the person who sent the previous message was not her.

Master.

So the reason you sent Yihan on the mission

is unrelated to this message either.

Why?

Chu Yihan can only contact you directly.

He only listens to you.

Whether Chu Yihan can go out or not

depends on who sent this message.

Isn't it obvious?

Sit down.

The person who sent this message

is opposed to Gun.

From the previous stages,

this person has not caused any harm to Yihan.

Hear me out and see if this is possible.

This message was not sent by Lin Ke.

It was sent on behalf of her by someone else.

Because except for Lin Ke,

within the Northwest Wolves Gang,

no one would use this encrypted method.

You mean Lin Ke developed another informant?

At the moment, it seems

that person is not an enemy.

I'm not so optimistic.

If he's an informant,

why hasn't he contacted us

in the past five years?

Now that he's contacting us,

why doesn't he do it openly?

Actually, two days before we ended the case five years ago,

I received an encrypted message

reporting the hiding place of Northwest Wolves.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Quiet. Listen to me.

After I replied to him,

he disappeared.

For so many years,

I never figured out

whether this message

came from Lin Ke

or if someone else sent it on her behalf.

Later, I sent someone to investigate

and found that this is an unregistered SIM card.

The location is in the north of Kalisha,

near the headquarters of Northwest Wolves Gang.

After the case was closed,

some died and some escaped.

So, whether this message was from Lin Ke

remains a mystery to this day.

So, you suspect

that the person who reported to the police by text message

is very likely the same person from five years ago?

Just a suspicion.

Where's Fei?

Jin.

I was the one looking for you.

Let me see the goods first.

The owner isn't here. You can't see the goods.

Ji.

It's only been a few years.

Do you not recognize me anymore?

Pei Yin?

Gun passed away.

Now, the warehouse is under Fei and my control.

We've formed an alliance.

Where's Fei?

What do you think? Fei.

I didn't lie to you, right?

You were running wild.

Where do you expect me to find you?

You must be Long Qi.

Good child.

Sorry for what you've been through.

I'll avenge you.

Tang, they are my old acquaintances.

Go gentle on them.

Let him go.

What are you doing?

Why can't you change this bad habit?

When we arrested Gun,

you pointed a gun at me like this too.

You haven't learned any lessons

from the bloodshed of the previous generation.

Put it away.

Such a bad habit.

Hurry up and take him to the hospital.

Don't leave any roots behind.

Come back tomorrow night.

I will personally cook for you.

Fei.

You've grown so much.

Do you still recognize me?

I reported on your dad.

Did Jin betray him?

Don't blame Jin.

The reason he told me the location where your father was hiding

is because he wanted me to go save him.

You see,

he's so righteous.

I know you don't like Jin.

But I once asked him

that if we had to kill one

between you two,

who would he choose?

Guess what he said.

He said he'd spare you.

That's compassion, child.

Don't tell him about this.

Otherwise,

I won't spare you anymore.

Also,

do me a favor.

You should be familiar with Long Qi, right?

Long Qi's real name is Chu Yihan.

He's a police officer.

He's

your seventh aunt's son.

How about this?

Find a way to bring him to me.

Let the mother and son reunite.

Seventh Aunt is still alive?

Who told you she was dead?

Your girlfriend is now on Yong'an Road,

hiding in the old villa, right?

Go.

Bring Long Qi to me.

I'll take care of your girlfriend for now.

Fei.

No matter how deep or shallow

your foster father-son relationship is,

I think you would probably hate me.

But I want to tell you.

Your father's death

was a deserved punishment.

I advise you

to mourn

and let it go.

You're overthinking it.

Do you remember Nini?

You used to play with her when you were little.

That beautiful little princess.

If she was alive,

she should have graduated from college by now.

Because his father was truly wicked.

He betrayed the entire gang

and wanted to revolt.

Your mother exposed him.

To catch him,

I first knocked him unconscious

and locked him in the basement.

But I was wrong.

I never expected that even threatening his life

didn't work on him.

I also never expected

that he would harm Nini.

What's even more unexpected is

before letting her go,

he secretly injected her twice

with 0.4 grams of heroin.

I've been in the drug trade for 27 years,

strictly forbidding my men from using drugs.

But no matter how much I thought beforehand,

I missed out on my daughter.

Nini was a timid child.

She didn't dare tell me.

Until 9th November two years ago,

she couldn't take it anymore.

She told me, "Dad".

"I can't stand it anymore".

"I want mainlining".

Mainlining.

What does "mainlining" mean?

Arterial injection.

He dug out my most precious piece of flesh.

Fei.

I want revenge.

That's reasonable, right?

Gun is already dead.

I came here to seek death too.

You didn't expect that, did you?

Come, Fei.

When Nini died,

I had already decided.

If one day I have no way out,

I'll choose the same way as her to die and accompany her.

If you want to avenge your father,

stab here.

I won't fight back,

and I won't let them do anything either.

Yin.

This is unnecessary.

Okay.

It'll be simple, then.

From now on,

let's forget past grievances.

The three of us together

will do something big,

something meaningful.

Yin.

I want to make it clear first.

The warehouse is mine.

I never steal from kids.

But

the legacy of Desert Tiger is with Gu Mulan.

Remember,

your father,

your mother,

and I

all made significant contributions

to the gang.

So the three of us

are qualified to share this cake.

I'll take your share

for you two.

Our collaboration

is based solely on interest,

not emotions.

What do you think? A perfect business relationship, right?

The good news is

that Gu Mulan knows about the warehouse you have.

I know him well.

He's superstitious and shameful.

If he doesn't have anything in his hands,

he won't return to the country recklessly.

The warehouse in your hands

is the bargaining chip with him.

I know.

I will go talk to him.

So, you mean

you don't want me, the middleman,

to make some profit, right?

We young people

have our own ways.

What ways do you have?

Find Zhou Ji?

You just experienced that scene.

Will it be of any use?

Will he listen to you?

If Zhou Ji

holds this thing

and thrusts it into your neck fiercely...

Yin.

There's still residue.

Can you not compromise?

If you scare him off,

we can't negotiate anymore.

Alright.

Come on.

Let's get to know each other again.

I'm surnamed Pei,

Pei Yin.

Yin of Yin dang. [*Lewd]

Where's my mom?

Let's take it one step at a time.

Let me verify your identity first.

Tell me

your zodiac sign.

Virgo.

No.

Say it again.

Scorpio.

Birthday.

October 1996.

Birthday.

31st.

What time?

Why are you asking?

I'm going to tell your fortune.

9:10 p.m.

Jin told me my fate.

He said I have an ill fate between father and son this year.

The other party has the fate of the Metal element.

Physically strong,

with gold, silver, pearls, and jade.

Spiritually void, with a clear and bright aura,

thus warm and clear.

Say something I understand!

Where is my mother?

Don't be anxious.

Fate is hard to change, but it's easy for luck.

In simpler terms,

Yihan...

Call me Godfather

and block me from the ill fate.

I can't.

It looks like

we are truly fated.
