Mr. Gu.

This is the new med from Mr. Mu.

The med he gave

muddies the mind.

Do you still want them?

This is your second kid,

Nana.

Nana.

This is also Nana.

She's grown up.

In her twenties.

Nana.

Nana.

Come on!

Nana.

(Kalisha Public Security Bureau)

(There's a bottle of med in my pocket.)

Can you let me take some?

(2000 meters south of People's Road. Anxin Cemetery)

Is your phone in that car?

What's the number?

Speak!

Sha Xiaofei.

My master is in that car.

What's your phone number?

Chief Deng.

Target will arrive at Northern Kalisha's checkpoint soon.

Stop them.

Yes.

Hello.

Show me your driving license and get out of the car.

Chief Deng, we found the phone.

Target number two is not around.

He's on his way to the south of town.

Call the Southern Kalisha branch.

Yes.

Chief Deng.

Chief Tai.

Hello.

Let him run for a while.

Once he gets to his lair,

we can get him and everything else.

Understood.

Here's the plan.

Share the target's real-time location

with Southern Kalisha's branch.

Tell them to set off and tail the target.

But remember,

stay a safe distance away from the target.

Before they take the offensive, do not expose themselves.

If anything happens,

let us know right away.

We'll tell you what to do next after this.

(Officer Cheng.)

(When's your senior coming back?)

You scallywag.

Don't change the subject.

Our homeroom teacher said

if she doesn't come back,

I'm going to be a delinquent.

I'd spend my days in Internet cafes and arcades.

Hey.

I don't want her coming back to her kid being a villain while she's a cop.

(She'll be seeing me in jail in that case.)

(Oh, lighten up, will you?)

(Honestly, Han.)

Good thing you were recruited early.

If a brat like you

goes onto the streets,

you might become a public enemy or something.

Lots of people would be hurt.

Where is my uncle?

What about my sister?

Your sister is in surgery.

I will inform you

as soon as the results are out.

As for your uncle...

Drop the act.

Why did you let her come here?

Tell her to leave.

Tell her to leave.

Fei.

I miss you.

Yiyi.

I'll die.

I'll die.

I'll die.

In a hurry to walk to the grave?

Did you hear that, Fei?

You won't die.

Fei.

Fei.

Fei.

Fei.

Tell me.

What capital crimes did you do?

Talk about Chu Yihan.

What did he do?

(The new leader)

(of the Northwest Wolf King,)

is Ms. Lin's son,

Chu Yihan.

(You both have half of the cipher.)

I'm the only one who can crack the code.

(Let me introduce you.)

(This is Chu Yihan.)

(He's the only one who knows about Desert Tiger's inheritance.)

I don't know.

I told you

everything I know.

Are you guys a couple?

If, in the future,

we find out that you two

share a common interest

or if some consequences were to happen

because you hid information today,

you two will face the law and its consequences.

Can I see my sister?

You killed Shi Hua, didn't you?

Never heard of him.

Still denying your crimes?

(Fingerprint Identification Report)

Here are photos from the scene

and a fingerprint identification report.

Do you want me to read them to you one by one?

I did see him.

What's wrong?

Don't say I didn't give you a chance.

He was a fugitive.

Arms trafficking.

Murder.

Rape.

Shouldn't he die?

You're also a fugitive,

but in order to save you,

the Vice Captain bets his life on someone else's hand.

Why do you think that is?

Let me make this clear.

Your crimes will get you a death sentence.

Even if you do anything to atone for them,

you'll still be severely punished.

Perhaps you'll never taste freedom again.

But now,

this is your only chance

at survival.

It's your only chance

to make her respect you.

Don't die miserably

like a coward.

Jiang Jiuping told me

Gun hid the warehouse

in Anxin Cemetery beside People's Street.

On top of that,

Chu Yihan and his mother

are on their side now.

What People's Street?

There is just one People's Street.

South of People's Street is Dahe Market.

Dahe Market?

He lied to me.

He lied to me.

(Southern Kalisha)

Hello?

Xia.

They're there.

They took a left turn.

Stop following them for now.

Let him drive a kilometer first.

Remember.

Do not expose yourselves.

Understood.

(Boss) (Mortuary)

Alright.

We'll camp here

for the night.

Let's go.

This isn't your place.

The fifth wolf of the Northwest Wolves

was a man named Lu Tai.

He was a graverobber. Ever heard of him?

I thought he died.

So this

belongs to me for now.

Chu Yihan.

Make one thing clear.

He killed your mother.

I don't understand

why you protected him.

Why don't we make a deal?

I only take my share

and you kill the old git.

Avenge your mother.

His share

belongs to you after that.

How does it sound?

Stop messing around.

Come in.

Master.

Before Jiang Jiuping died,

he said that the warehouse was in Anxin Cemetery.

We didn't find that cemetery

in the vicinity of all People's Streets

in Hanbei and Kalisha.

Captain Xia said

that in the whole nation,

there are three cemeteries that have similar names.

The nearest one is 1,300 kilometers away.

Master.

What happened to Yihan?

Joining Northwest Wolves

is part of the plan.

If your mother

fell for the temptation...

That's theoretically possible,

but I trust she won't hurt me.

Isn't that so?

That is no guarantee

of your safety.

If she is no longer a cop,

then that means

she has seen great temptation

and threat.

This is what I will have to face.

If push comes to shove,

I will walk in her footsteps

and become one of the Northwest Wolves as her successor.

Crushing the enemies from within

is an investigator's job, after all.

Chief Tai.

I know what you're worried about.

I promise

I will not turn out like my mother.

Chief Tai.

I might fight really well,

but I'm really scared of death.

If I run into any danger,

I will slip away right away.

I will come back alive.

From now on,

you only answer to me.

You

will only report to me.

Make two things clear.

You must come back alive.

Two.

You cannot shoot our men.

Master.

Don't tell us we just raised a Wolf King.

Before Chu Yihan returns,

we cannot judge his actions.

Then we'll set up the best-case scenario.

If we can take down the Northwest Wolves in the least time

and arrest all of them.

Maybe at that time,

he might say

that becoming the Wolf King

and shooting me and Captain Xia

were just an act.

He never had thought

to take any Desert Tiger's inheritance.

He never even thought

he would use that kind of method

to reunite with his mother.

When that happens,

can we really still trust him?

Threats and temptations

are always there.

Do you remember?

Twelve years ago, I sent you to Hua City.

To be a spy.

You ran into the same crisis as well.

Some of us

thought you'd betray us too.

But I chose to trust you.

It's the same today.

I choose

to put my faith in Chu Yihan.

But Master,

then consider the worst-case scenario.

Suppose Captain Lin is still alive

and has

made the wrong choice,

how can we guarantee

that Yihan can still follow the right path

when tempted by his family and wealth?

That's why we need to wrap things up quickly.

Once we have Cheng Fan's location,

you must act immediately.

Make sure

to bring them back alive.

Yes.

Master.

What should I do

if Yihan shoots at us?

Handle it lawfully.

You have the answer, don't you?

Decipher it

and let the punk have a look.

Then kill him.

Tang.

Find the other half.

Don't want him to get it wrong

and make it hard for us after he dies.

Give it to Officer Chu.

(Rescue room)

Have some water.

After the surgery,

we will send someone to take care of your sister.

You go home and rest.

Do you know the Anxin Cemetery?

You know, right?

That's the family cemetery my uncle built.

My mom is buried there.

Where is it?

In my dad's hometown.

Tianshan County, Nanmo Town.

I've been there a few times as a kid.

Don't worry.

Your sister will be fine.

Doctor.

I am her sister.

The patient is out of danger

but hasn't woken up yet.

Alright.

Thank you.

Officer.

You've had a hard time.

It's like this.

I

have a document

that is very important.

I'd like to ask for your help

in translating it.

Of course.

You can refuse.

But

Chu is outside.

If you refuse,

his life might be in danger.

Can you help me?

Later on,

once you've finished,

if there's a difference in a single word,

both of you

will be in danger.

Master.

I just contacted Nanmo Police Station.

That place are all village cemeteries

and lacks management.

Many don't even have tombstones.

Just scattered and disorderly graves.

They didn't find the Anxin Cemetery we mentioned

or anything with inscriptions for Gu Mulan or Gu Jianguo.

(Chief Tai)

(Chief Tai)

Nana.

Li.

How are you?

Who is it?

The police.

Answer it.

Hello.

Chief Tai.

(Gu Linna.)

(Are you at the hospital?)

Yes.

Get ready.

I'm sending someone to pick you up.

Go to Nanmo Town.

Why should I go to Nanmo Town?

Please help us identify something.

(Thank you.)

Okay.

Goodbye.

(Kalisha Public Security Bureau)

Let's go.

Tianshan County.

Nanmo Town.

People's Road, 2,000 meters south.

Anxin Cemetery.

(2000 meters south of People's Road. Anxin Cemetery)

Gun's warehouse.

Officer Cheng.

There's something else

I'd like to discuss with you.

Chu

might be too young

and stubborn.

I think he's determined

to betray the organization.

I'll call him over in a minute.

Try to persuade him.

If it doesn't work,

you can deal with him straight away.

Don't tell me you still believe in him.

I told you before.

He'll get rid of you immediately once he gets the cipher.

The decision you need to make now

is to let me go.

We'll go in together and take down Pei Yin.

I'll help you save your mother.

Shut up.

Don't waste time talking to him.

He's your superior?

He's my uncle.

He wants to take you away.

I didn't agree.

He now knows the entire cipher.

If he got out alive,

the consequences would be unimaginable.

Uncle.

Why?

He still has my mom.

I need to find her.

So what if you found her?

Would she want to see you like this?

She's a good cop.

(What about you?)

(What have you become now?)

(Whether you can survive)

(is more important than being a cop, isn't it?)

(Will he let me go?)

(I know all the ciphers.)

(I can persuade him.)

He won't let me go.

I know too much.

You must believe that I can find a way.

Only by surviving can you tend Ms. Mu and the others,

aren't I right?

(And live like you?)

(I'll advise you one last time.)

(It's not too late)

(to turn back now.)

(Don't move forward anymore.)

(You won't be able to come back.)

(I beg you.)

(Don't give up.)

(You have to survive)

(to have hope.)

(Nonsense!)

(You backstabbing brat.)

(Come on.)

(Uncle.)

(Don't force me, Uncle.)
