ZHOU BIN'S LOGGING CAMP, SOUTH-BO, RESTRICTED ZONE

GENERAL HOSPITAL, KYU-LAWN

Mr. Li.

Still up at this hour?

My stomach hurt, so I went to the toilet.

Go back to sleep.

"Mercenary"?

"Fought in wars"?

I knew

you would be unreliable as someone from Laza.

Why?

Alright, sister.

What's the use in killing him?

You have a part in this too.

Pan came to serve the family back then. But you threw him into that camp.

-The toughest and most tiring one. -Mr. Cai.

-You should go and wait for my message. -You even asked this trash to teach him.

Where is my son?

How could you look after your nephew like this?

Where is he now?

Stop the fuss.

Come back.

Give my son back to me.

Give my son back to me.

Mr. Cai,

President Chen has indeed talked with the government army.

But they are very firm over there, just telling us to wait.

Then I'll convey this to Aiso

and tell him to wait as well.

Mr. Cai,

you know I want to make this deal happen.

But now that President Chen has spoken to this extent,

what can I do?

Mr. Cai,

I know you care

for Shen Xing.

Alright, let's leave it at that for now.

Okay.

Mr. Cai.

Shen Xing is still alive, and so are the kids.

Also, Mao Pan is there. He isn't dead.

-Don't speak so loudly. -Are you sure?

I tore this from his neck.

The five lines of scripture and the temple emblem on it.

-That should be able to prove it. -Right?

This belongs to Mao Pan.

Just now, I saw Mao Pan's mother

pointing at President Chen and yelling at him.

She's got some clout, hasn't she?

President Chen's fund

and charity work are managed by her.

So she's very important to the Chamber of Commerce.

Mr. Cai,

this line of thinking is correct.

Winning over this woman will give us a chance.

But why did Zhou Bin lie to us,

saying that Mao Pan was dead?

It doesn't matter.

Uncle.

What's up?

Sir, whether you believe it or not,

I got this gunshot wound

when I went to rescue Mr. Mao.

I saw with my own eyes that he fell into a pool of blood.

Heaven is merciful.

Maybe he was injured,

but not very severely.

Or perhaps it was his will to survive

that made him fall deliberately.

-All are possible. -Enough.

Stop echoing each other.

Chen Hao,

your nephew is not dead yet.

What do you plan to do?

Sir,

since you entrusted him to me,

I am responsible for his safety.

Rest assured, Ms. Chen,

even if it costs me my life.

-I will definitely rescue him. -Chen Hao.

Your nephew is still alive.

Will you rescue him or not?

Sister,

I'll rescue him.

Of course, I will rescue him.

And it is imperative to do so.

But

we need to figure out how to do it.

Mr. Cai.

-Was he shot dead while trying to escape? -Definitely.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have hanged him up for us to see, right?

Look, he's been shot.

Mao Pan,

about what happened last night,

you definitely know, right?

Of course, I know.

I've been here all night. How could I not know?

I'll tell you a secret.

I did it.

Come on, hit me.

Here. Come on. Hit me now.

Weren't you going to stand up for everyone?

Hit here. Come on.

Come on.

-Weren't you trying to be a hero? -What are you doing?

Come on, hero.

Come on.

Come here.

Come on. Hit me.

Hit me.

Come on.

What are you doing?

Scatter! Scatter!

Wu Haishan says

that Mr. Cai of To-pan is unmatched in wisdom.

You've brought the Buddhist amulet

and attracted my sister's attention.

I hope

you can come up with a rescue plan.

President Chen, the thing is,

I hope you can continue to lobby the government

to take back the logging camp.

I've already told you the government's response.

The restricted zone is an enclave.

The Agreement of Trilateral Slopes

has nominally placed this land in the hands of the federal government,

but they just can't digest it.

This time, an internal strife broke out in South-bo.

The government wants to take advantage of the situation.

Do you think they can spare the troops now

to help me take back the logging camp?

That's true.

Just think for a moment

about who has occupied your logging camp.

It's South-bo, right?

And what's the status of South-bo?

Isn't it just the target the government army wants to sweep?

From your words, I can sense something fishy.

Who has occupied the territory abandoned by Wood Kidney?

The government army.

Wood Kidney had to cough up the territory

and launch a rebellion.

In return,

the government army gave my logging camp to him.

These two were in cahoots to deceive me.

Yes.

If you put it that way,

the government army is even less likely to spare troops

to help me take back the logging camp.

That's something on the table.

Once turned over, it will be something under the table.

You are now a person on the table.

Reclaiming your logging camp in your own name

is completely legitimate.

And under the table, is the government army.

The government army wants to sweep through South-bo.

This will definitely not change.

So,

this is now

a time for them to set out with a good reason.

And what you need to do

is to help them open their minds,

let them come around to the idea,

and bring forward what needs to be done sooner or later.

Thank you for your advice, Mr. Cai.

But, Mr. Cai,

there's one thing I don't understand.

My business with Aiso

has nothing to do with you.

Why do you care so much?

It's because my people are also trapped in the logging camp.

So I'm counting on you, President Chen.

You are truly caring and loyal.

What are you doing?

I'm going to saw him in half.

-Put it down. -What are you doing?

Let go.

Go over there. Move.

Have you gone mad? You can't be impulsive. Come over here.

Now is not the time to be impulsive.

He has killed another person.

I know. I saw it too.

So what if you saw him in half?

You'll end up being hanged too.

Do you think the soldiers will let you off?

Revenge must be taken, but definitely not now.

Even if you don't seek revenge, I will.

But for now, we can only wait.

Get back to work. Don't slack off.

I wish you good luck.

This row of banana plants is what you want.

They are all good.

Shen Xing, there's a bug on your back.

Where?

How many did you get?

It was hard to get them because the models vary. I got nine in total.

That's enough.

They only gave us 30 people.

Long live understanding. I wish you good luck.

These are not bad.

Keep them for our own people.

You didn't lie about the number of troops inside, did you?

To be honest, I exaggerated.

You played your cards well.

They only gave us 30 people, after all.

I want to know,

besides inflating the number of troops,

what other lies you have told.

Are you asking about the owner of the Buddhist amulet?

He is indeed still alive.

There are many ways to stop him from coming out.

But the prerequisite

is that we need to break in first.

The tree is falling. Watch out!

Huanghuali Wood Guy, here you are again.

I can recognize which is huanghuali wood now.

We've got it ready.

Why are there only two trucks?

Yes, just two.

It's because this time I don't want huanghuali wood.

Then what do you want? Mahogany?

I want your lives.

Uncle!

Xituang!

My leg!

I can't move it, Uncle.

Is there a saw? I need a saw.

Bring it here now.

Go back.

Don't meddle in what doesn't concern you.

Shen Xing, Xituang is dying.

What should we do?

Go save the kid first.

Shen Xing.

Uncle, hang in there.

Where should I saw?

Here.

-Xituang. -Uncle!

Someone!

Please help. I'm begging you.

Please help us.

I can't cut it apart.

Help!

Xituang.

Someone!

He did it on purpose.

What are you staring at?

It should have been you who got smashed.

Anything can happen at the logging camp.

It's your own fault for lacking attention.

Get back to work.

I'm begging you. Please go call for a car.

He's hurt. We need a car to take him to the hospital.

Please help.

Someone attacked at the loading area.

Dan Tuo! Dan Tuo, come!

Take them to the back and keep an eye on them.

SOUTH-BO, BOMO, RESTRICTED ZONE

DAQIULIN GENERAL HOSPITAL, KYU-LAWN

Doctor, stretcher!

Quickly, doctor!

Doctor, stretcher. Get a stretcher here.

Quick, save him.

Their lives are in danger.

Save them now!

Put them down.

Move out of the way.

-Move! -Make the way.

Doctor.

That Chinese man's

right foot is badly crushed. It can't be reattached.

Amputation is the only option.

What?

Your uncle is no longer in a life-threatening condition.

But he is losing his leg.

If the family agrees,

we will proceed with the amputation immediately.

Is there really no other way?

Doctor, how is Xituang doing?

The younger one is in an even worse condition.

There's bleeding in his skull, and the puncture in his lung is serious.

Please save him.

Anyway, we haven't lost our mother tongue.

It's not inconvenient to go back to China.

This place is really too dangerous.

I am worried about you.

Listen to me.

As long as you go back,

I will register a company for you on the coast.

You can do whatever you want.

-How about that? -Making a fortune on the coast.

It's all about using your brains,

unlike at the Trilateral Slopes,

where you have to risk your life.

Uncle.

Listen to your mother.

The current situation is very chaotic, not like the past few years.

You know our plan to apply

for immigration back to China.

Uncle. You have to see it from a different angle.

Merchants in the coastal cities

need brains to make a fortune.

But here at the Trilateral Slopes,

you just need to risk your life.

I prefer it here.

That's because you know

it's only possible for others to risk their lives for you.

I want to stay and help you.

You've "helped" me a lot already.

You can't blame me entirely for that secret passage thing.

Zhou Bin wouldn't say anything,

and he just told me to wait.

The restricted zone would be sealed off for three or four months at a stretch.

Customers might sympathize,

but once the orders were gone, they were gone for good.

You have no idea

how happy the Wild Joyhouse people were to receive the goods.

They even took the initiative to give in on the price increase.

What about the kidnapped kids?

They are either dead or injured.

You've put us in such a passive position.

The one who died jumped out of the vehicle on his own.

The second one was told to lumber by the South-bo people.

Isn't it normal to get injured on a forest farm?

Chen Hao,

for such a big deal,

who would really fuss over subordinates?

That cattle dealer is just putting on airs.

If the worse comes to worst, just give him some extra compensation.

-And I'll pay this money. -Sister.

I already had Zhou Bin give him 2% of the profit.

Do you think it's the money I care about?

Then what do you care about?

I was indeed rash about this matter.

I am willing to compensate you.

I'm willing to do whatever you ask.

I'll head to Mongnawng with the goods right away.

-I'll find that local and apologize. -No way.

Didn't you hear what your uncle said?

That cattle dealer is dangerous.

Chen Hao, listen to me.

You can't let him go.

Mom, don't make things worse. I know what I'm doing.

Sit tight.

Sir,

now that the logging camp has been reclaimed,

I think it's worth advancing

on Aiso's end.

Chen Hao,

hiring is the most crucial matter.

Especially those close to you.

Even if you can't find a Chinese person,

you can't hire a foreigner either, can you?

I think you need to reconsider

the personnel appointments at the logging camp.

Sister,

you don't need to worry about the logging camp.

And Mao Pan doesn't need to go to Mongnawng.

Aiso himself will come to Kyu-lawn.

Uncle.

I should not have suggested that route in the first place.

That way, you wouldn't have to deal with it at all.

It doesn't matter.

Even if this doesn't happen, there will be other issues.

For the entrance ticket, I'm definitely going to help you.

President Chen has so many charity foundations.

Why are you so eager to get into NBM?

You might not be very clear about the content of NBM.

The "N" doesn't stand for the usual "new."

Its full name is the New Bomo Medical Charity Foundation.

New Bomo?

Isn't your daughter working there?

So your ex-wife has come around?

My daughter is already of age.

She has her own thoughts now.

Uncle.

Get me some water.

Uncle, the anesthesia has worn off, and your leg may hurt a bit.

It's good enough to have survived.

You'll get used to it after a while.

Here are the clothes.

People often step on landmines along the border.

Those who survive often lose their legs.

But after a few years,

every one of them can walk swiftly with their canes.

Enough talking.

What I'm saying is the truth.

He is right.

Just surviving

has made me very satisfied already.

I'm glad you think that way. Have a good rest, Uncle.

Tuo,

where is Mao Pan?

I know you're upset

that your uncle has lost a leg.

But Mao Pan

is President Chen's nephew.

I know

the operation was all to save him,

and I was just riding on his coattails.

Xing,

this outcome is already the best we could have.

You don't know

that Mr. Cai came personally to Kyu-lawn to see President Chen

and was given the cold shoulder

and mistreated.

He went through a lot to try to save you.

I understand.

That's not what I meant.

Mao Pan is no good, and everyone knows that.

But it should be Aiso

who deals with him.

It's not your turn.

If Aiso decides to do business with President Chen,

it's impossible for him to deal with Mao Pan.

When the time comes, we'll be running this route together with Mao Pan.

And he will be a ticking time bomb.

Mr. Cai shouldn't be the middleman.

Since when did you begin to be worried on my behalf?

How come you're here, Mr. Cai?

I'm here to see your uncle.

Okay.

Uncle, Mr. Cai is here to see you.

Hello, Mr. Shen. Nice to meet you.

Please lie down. Don't be polite. Keep lying down.

I've long heard from Xing

that he's met a good boss

who helped us transfer the project's debt.

I said I must thank you in person.

"Boss" is too formal.

I already treat Shen Xing as my family.

He is clever and righteous,

which is truly rare.

Thank you for educating him so well.

Xing, about the line you've been working on lately,

I will have Scrag take over.

You can stay in Kyu-lawn.

-Take care of your uncle. -Thank you, Mr. Cai.

We…

We're planning to return to China soon.

I'm also gathering the money

I owe you.

-I will definitely pay you back. -No rush for now.

Let's wait until you have recovered.

It's okay. Rest assured.

Mr. Cai.

I'll go and check on that kid.

You take a good rest, Mr. Shen.

I'll go see Mr. Cai out.

Officer Jue Xintun?

What brings you here?

Your uncle called me.

-Where is he? -He's in the patient's room.

Here.

Let me introduce you.

This is Officer Jue Xintun.

Hello, Officer. Good to meet you.

This is Mr. Cai from To-pan.

I've long admired your reputation.

You helped before.

We've always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you.

No need to thank me. I also took the chance to catch Aden.

That was a good deal.

How about letting Xing

bring you over to our place for a visit?

Okay.

-Thank you. -Are you leaving?

Yes, we're off.

This is Suo Mintun's.

Shen,

you were really lucky to have survived.

About the money

I mentioned on the phone, can it be recovered?

It might be difficult.

It's chaotic in there now.

No one will follow the law.

Even if you can recognize the soldier who stole the money,

no one would stand up for you.

Not to mention, you can't even recognize who did it.

Alright, Shen.

Life is of utmost importance.

You're alive. Just forget about the money.

If I can't repay that money,

how can I take him back to China?

He paid the workers' salaries with a loan.

Now the debt has been transferred to Mr. Cai.

He has to supply water for three years.

-Just to pay off the debt. -Uncle.

Eat the tangerine.

Why bring up "going back to China" all of a sudden?

You didn't even discuss it with me.

What do you mean?

Don't you want to go back?

It's not that.

I just feel it's a bit inappropriate.

We still owe Mr. Cai money.

And this time, at the logging camp,

we were saved

because Mr. Cai helped.

He saved our lives.

It's against the rules for us

to dust ourselves off and leave.

What rules?

The rules of the underworld?

Shen,

you've been badly injured.

You should recuperate for a few days first.

You can talk about everything once your wounds are healed.

Alright?

Mr. Aiso.

Mr. Cai.

Mr. Aiso.

I am Mao Pan.

Well, I've been wholeheartedly working for President Chen.

And I accidentally crossed your path.

Please forgive me for any offense.

Leave.

Mr. Cai,

how is Shen Xing doing?

I heard his uncle was also injured.

It's alright. He just lost a leg.

Now that things have come to this point,

President Chen feels regretful too.

So he specifically sent me

and Mr. Mao to apologize to Mr. Aiso

with the utmost sincerity.

I heard you.

I appreciate that.

You can all go back now.

Mr. Aiso,

please feel free to make any requests.

This apology is the least we can do.

Haishan,

Mr. Aiso has already said

that you should leave.

Let's take it slowly with the apologies and compensation.

Alright?

Okay.

-How can we take it slowly? -Mao Pan!

Isn't that so?

We are all out here to do business.

Can't we just give each other a way out?

You've been rambling here, and what's been made clear?

You've wasted the whole morning.

Mr. Aiso, Mr. Mao

has always been at the logging camp.

He doesn't know

that President Chen has already sent me

to Mongnawng to discuss this matter.

Well,

we should do what we need to do. What are you doing now?

I want to.

Must you all dawdle like this?

This is the burial fee for the dead kid.

This

is for his medical expenses.

This is the compensation for Lanbo's emotional distress.

And the rest

is the toll fee from last time.

Rest assured.

The money here

has nothing to do with the 2%

President Chen offered you.

It's entirely out of my own pocket. What do you think?

Am I sincere enough now?

Moreover,

President Chen invites you

to have dinner at the Elephant and Dragon International Resort

so we can talk properly

about the details of future cooperation.

If it weren't for you bringing up the Pigeon Blood Gem first,

I'd even doubt that you truly desire that route.

Mr. Aiso,

President Chen sincerely wants to cooperate with you.

Since President Chen is sincere,

he should come here in person.

I await his convenience.

Mr. Aiso, the thing is

President Chen has truly been too busy recently.

I'll discuss it with him.

-As soon as I return. -What do you mean?

-Let's go. -Don't take it away.

Stop. Put it down.

Who do you think you are?

Don't move.

Mr. Aiso,

he is young and impulsive.

Please don't stoop to his level, Mr. Aiso.

Believe me, I could kill you.

Stop talking. Just stop.

Thank you.

So this is the Chamber of Commerce's way of treating guests.

Mr. Aiso, rest assured.

I'll report everything to President Chen as soon as I get back.

I'll have him come here personally to apologize to you.

Please don't get angry.

-Please don't get angry. -Damn it!

Come back here.

Mr. Cai, he is young and ignorant.

Doing business at the Trilateral Slopes

is not about the money, but about character.

See out the guests.

Go now.

Mr. Mao, go.

-Go. Take him and go. -Go.

Let's go.

What were you thinking?

You don't want to go back with Shen Jiandong, do you?

Not really.

The truth is I still owe Mr. Cai money.

Leaving without paying it back wouldn't be appropriate.

What are you laughing at?

It's normal that you don't want to go back.

You earn more by supplying water.

Shen has lost his leg.

In the future, the financial burden on your family

will most likely fall on you.

Officer,

can you also tell my uncle

the words you just said?

The spokesperson stated

that the anti-drug operation in Kyu-lawn faces a challenge.

Based on reliable intelligence,

there are 35 drug manufacturing dens

with transactions amounting to 48 tons

and nearly 300 suspects involved.

The government army plans

to conduct in-depth cooperation with several neighboring countries

to sever the drug trafficking network in the Bomo region

and fully advance the joint drug enforcement action

to completely prevent the resurgence of drug manufacturing and trafficking.

I'll have a word with him.

This joint drug enforcement operation

is critical to the future of the Bomo Federation.

For our homeland…

What's wrong, Tuo?

For the sake of our next generation…

Mao Pan dared to get physical with Aiso?

After we taught him a lesson, he calmed down.

So, what do we do about the route?

Given what Mao Pan did this afternoon,

Aiso wanted President Chen to go see him personally.

The dinner was all set up.

But in the end, only Wu Haishan showed up.

He kept apologizing,

saying that President Chen

was called away by an official from the Ministry of the Interior

and simply couldn't make it.

To put it bluntly, both sides are posturing

and offering each other a way out.

But neither is willing to step down first.

I'm not sure if this matter will come to fruition.

Listen to me, Tuo.

Whether it works out or not,

we'd better stay far away from Mao Pan.

This guy is sinister and ruthless, and he has many tricks up his sleeve.

When dealing with such a person,

if you don't finish him off in one go,

you'll have to avoid him in the future.

You hit him twice, right?

He'll definitely remember and will surely seek revenge on you.

You must be very careful. Don't take it lightly, alright?

Don't worry.

Mr. Cai knows moderation.

I came to tell you

that we will stay here for a while.

If you have any problems, give me a call.

We are at the hotel opposite.

I know you're going back to your country.

Wait till your uncle's foot is almost healed.

Then you can take him back with you.

You don't need to worry about anything.

Yes, I want to go back.

But that's not up to me.

Didn't you stay at Trilateral Slopes

just to find your uncle and then go back

to your country with him?

Are you worried that Mr. Cai

won't let you go?

I owe Mr. Cai too much.

If we wait any longer,

the fodder in the cowshed will be almost gone.

Wu Haishan still says that President Chen

is busy and can't get away,

and he asked us to wait a bit longer.

I won't wait anymore. I'll go back tomorrow morning.

I'm used

to simple meals.

No matter how nice

the scenery outside Mongnawng is, I'm not used to it,

especially when dealing with foreigners.

You are better than me, Mr. Cai.

I am just plucking up my courage.

So that's it for the matter with President Chen?

The thing is

I can change my mind

if they show real sincerity.

All right, I can ask Wu Haishan.

-Get him to convey your message, but… -Mr. Cai.

the refrigerated truck that returned last week

wasn't empty.

It's because

there was a problem with Mrs. Ma's goods.

I didn't have the time to tell you first.

I'm sorry.

Let's not talk about it, Mr. Cai.

I own the route,

but you have the right to use it.

Whatever goods you transport and when you do it

is up to you.

You don't need to tell me.

If it was up to me, I'll agree to it immediately.

I'll be the middleman

and do my best, all right?

Mr. Cai,

you convinced President Chen

to reclaim the logging camp just with your words.

I believe

that you will have a way

at any time.

Don't hold me in such high regard.

Guo.

-Xing. -What brings you here?

I've wanted to come here for the past few days. I'm really sorry.

I just couldn't get time off work.

-Have you eaten? -Yes, I have.

Time to eat, Uncle.

Thank you.

Before we go back to China,

I'll have Xing treat you to a good meal.

Okay.

Chief Engineer and Xing,

I'm truly happy for you guys.

It's so great that you can return to China.

What's so good about it?

If you want to go back, you can go. You don't owe anyone money.

My situation is not the same as yours.

My parents are getting a divorce.

To force my mom,

my dad brought another woman home. So,

I'd better stay away.

By the way, Uncle.

On second thoughts,

I think you should go back first.

After all, I owe Mr. Cai money.

My ID card, passport,

and our business license are all with him.

How can I leave without repaying the money?

I called Mr. Ma for you.

He's now

collaborating on a contracting project

for a national 3A scenic area.

He promised to help raise some money for us.

Later, you can talk to Mr. Cai.

We'll redeem whatever we can.

As long as it's reasonable,

we'll repay all the money we owe him

and settle this matter.

Forget it.

How can Mr. Ma raise so much money?

He agreed to help us gather some money.

Just listen to me.

Mr. Ma didn't have it easy saving his money.

He's not like Mr. Cai.

He agreed.

We can pay it back ourselves.

-Besides, your leg-- -Are you worried about me?

Or do you just not want to go back at all?

It's not that I don't want to go back.

I just think that right now,

I work regularly, and my earnings are stable.

And there's not much interest.

Sooner or later, we will be able to repay the money ourselves.

Why owe someone else a favor?

Shen Xing,

you are capable and competent.

Wouldn't it be good for you to go back?

If you stay here, what's the difference between you and those hoodlums?

What hoodlums?

I'm the driver.

I drive for your construction site just the same.

There's no difference?

Then, what is this?

Have you forgotten the pain after a wound heals?

You big mouth!

Why did you tell him that?

Why are you shouting at him?

What's the difference between you and those hoodlums?

Don't you understand why I only let you stay

at the construction site back then?

Everything comes with a price.

If you stay in this chaotic place with those people,

sooner or later you will become like them.

Become like them?

What have I become?

Besides, is it bad that I've changed?

If I hadn't changed,

you'd still be chopping wood at the logging camp.

Time to change the dressing.

It hurts a lot, doesn't it?

Be gentle.

How did this happen?

You've dislocated your arm.

Did Zhou Bin just stand by and watch?

No.

I have to talk to your uncle about this.

-Alright, Mom. -How's this…?

The recent events at the logging camp

have already given my uncle enough headaches.

Don't bring this up with him now,

in case he worries.

We can let Zhou Bin and Wu Haishan jump around for a few days.

There will be ways to deal with them later.

What happened today

lies with those locals who are playing dumb.

They think too highly of themselves.

It's such a trivial matter, and they expect my uncle

to personally resolve it.

How could that be possible?

If my uncle goes there, how can we talk business in the future?

Why can't your uncle see it?

You always consider things from his perspective,

but he only knows how to favor others.

When I get hold of this route in the future,

he will understand.

You're hurt.

Don't think about it for now.

Be gentle.

Step back for now.

Are you alright?

I said I would take it back, and I definitely will.

Okay. Let me rub it for you.

Mom, please sit down.

You must help me this time.

I will help you.

I will always help you.

Keep my uncle away for a few days,

by all means.

Distracting your uncle

is not difficult.

But what are you planning to do?

Mom,

just help me.

Alright, I promise you.

Good boy.
