TO-PAN, TRILATERAL SLOPES

GOLDEN GREEN KTV, KYU-LAWN

On the cliff of Mount Rambutan,

I already had my eyes on a good spot.

I could even go through the clouds from there.

When I just got the feeling,

suddenly, two wings got tangled together,

and I lost my balance.

Then the remaining eagles began to flap wildly,

flinging me this way and that. So I ended up hanging from a tree

with my left leg broken.

Ming, didn't you say earlier you'd used a hot-air balloon?

The Monkey King helped me get seven eagles.

And business wasn't busy. So I went to give it a try.

Ming, listen to me.

If you want to walk again, you should forget about flying.

That's right, Ming. There are so many hot-air balloons in Pugan.

You can just rent one of them.

That's different. What I want is that kind of freedom.

Come and take a seat.

Why did it take you so long?

There was a landslide in Mopon. So I took the old road.

-This is Ming, my good friend. -Ming.

Shen Xing, right? I know him.

Didn't you want to catch him before?

You even called for me to capture him at Kyu-pon.

And later, there was the tapir thing.

Right, he even made the newspapers for several days.

He's a superstar. A celebrity.

He is now completely one of our own.

Ming's business is quite big.

He runs a KTV and deals in mountain goods. He is also a matchmaker.

Young man, do you need me to introduce someone to you?

-Thank you, Ming. No need. -Xing.

Let's talk about some serious business.

Yesterday, I had dinner with Kunpadi from Landpley.

And your nemesis was also at the table.

Liu Jincui? She's already got the order from Landpley?

There's such large demand. I'm afraid it's too much for her to handle.

You are right.

That's why she wants to discuss a collaboration with you.

That wretch, Liu Jincui.

She's still competing with me for territory.

How could she possibly split the business?

Listen to me. She wants to take this opportunity

to call a truce with you.

She wonders whether you can give up

the area south of Highway 4…

To her?

Seeing that she couldn't win, she resorted to dirty tricks against me.

Dogtail lost an eye because of her. How can we just call a truce?

Even if I agree, my people won't.

Ming, have you ever wondered why she rose so quickly on her own

after she left you?

That wretch is capable of anything.

Haven't I told you before?

The clan leader and those Know-It-Alls are willing to follow her

clearly because she has someone backing her up.

Now I find out

it's President Chen of Elephant and Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

So what? Those Chinese merchants dare not mess around.

I have no objections to what you say.

Landpley's brokerage fees are all in her hands.

You can do the math on your own.

I'm just a messenger.

Business is tough.

But if her word is law,

it won't be easy for me in the future either.

Do you have a better suggestion?

How about this?

If you have any ideas or conditions you want to discuss,

tell Xing and let him negotiate for you.

Once you get back the brokerage fees,

the people below will have work to do and money to make.

Then no one will care about Dogtail losing an eye anymore.

This is a good idea.

It's just

that Xing is so young.

Does he have any experience in negotiating?

Ming, haven't I told you

Liu Jincui likes handsome young men?

That's right.

What?

Mr. Cai wants you to take this.

Is it necessary?

You scared me.

Drink. Take another sip.

You're drinking too little. I'm watching.

Okay, come on.

Continue.

Open it.

Aren't you here for business?

No rush. I want to check on you first.

Does it taste good?

Mongnawng doesn't have this.

Xituang has never had it.

How about trying an organ transplant?

I mean,

get him a new pair of lungs.

Lanbo,

being cooped up here is no good.

Why not go out for a walk?

Not bad, Lanbo.

Your shooting is really good. How did you do it?

Just imagine that they are Mao Pan's heads.

Then keep going.

GOLDEN GREEN KTV, KYU-LAWN

You are really good.

You must be Liu Jincui. Mr. Cai wants me to see you.

My name is Shen Xing.

500 yuan per game. Will you play?

-I'm here to talk business. -Play the game first.

Don't tell me you don't know how to play.

-I know how to play. -Choose a cue over there.

You first.

-You play so well. -Best out of three, right?

Are you joking with me? You've already lost one game.

Continue.

So it's still my turn to break, right?

-I'm sorry. -It's okay.

I won't play with you anymore. You're too good.

I lost.

-I can't beat you. -That's fine.

I had a good time.

One, 500 yuan for three games. It seems like I…

Tell me.

Why didn't Ming come in person?

Ming fell from Mount Rambutan and broke his leg.

And Mr. Cai was afraid you two would fight

and fall out. So he sent me.

There's no need for you to come bargain.

My offer is the bottom line.

Either take it or get lost.

We take it.

Ms. Liu, we take it. Ming said

however you draw the line is fine, but we need to settle this deal first.

Then go back and tell Ming to yield the turf first.

Someone will go and choose the people when the time comes.

To "settle."

means to sign the contract first. Ming has already signed.

It's here.

Danwei, get me a pen.

Come here.

Call all the brides back to Kyu-pon, including the foster mothers.

Wait.

Prepare a camera and have them all dress up a bit.

Go.

Ming, we've all placed our bets.

It's your turn now. Are you in or not?

All in. Show your cards.

All in.

What a poor hand of cards!

Show your cards.

Does anyone have anything bigger than a full house?

If not, then it's my win.

Such bad luck.

-Your luck's turned, Ming. -Come here.

Go fetch me a few bottles of good liquor.

Come.

This time,

you got your first official task from Mr. Cai.

Well done.

What task? I just passed a message.

To be honest,

that woman is a bit fierce.

What are you laughing at?

Liu Jincui, right?

-She is famous in all of Kyu-lawn. -Famous for what?

For being cold to old lovers.

You need to watch your step. Don't…

Don't get hurt by her.

What are you talking about? What's "being cold to old lovers"?

I just went there to sign a contract with her.

Just be careful.

Anyway, Ming said he thinks it's good to have a middleman.

He has already spoken to Mr. Cai. You're still the one to follow up.

Tell him to find someone else.

I'm not his man. Why should I run his errands?

You fool. Liu Jincui has a grudge against him, alright?

You don't make money by supplying water. But you do make money by doing this.

Isn't that good?

Okay, I'm the fool.

You are.

When I make some money, I'll treat you to a drink.

All you know is drink.

Do you know why Mr. Cai gave me this job this time?

Just pretend.

-Pretend what? -You're playing dumb, right?

You're clever. It's a waste of talent if you are just a driver.

Mr. Cai is really happy with your return this time.

Even Cleaver is happy.

People all like you.

You are quite popular.

I don't think so. I can tell that Scrag isn't very happy.

Scrag is Mr. Cai's wife's cousin.

He's been with Mr. Cai since he was little.

Mr. Cai likes you, so he's jealous.

He's a bit narrow-minded, but he's a good person.

Just look at him. He is so silly.

Really silly. Silly Scrag.

Tuo, Mr. Cai went to bed so early today.

And they are playing cards here. It won't disturb Mr. Cai, will it?

Mr. Cai went out.

-He went into the mountains. -He did?

He's gone to the drug traffickers' den.

They said there's something to discuss with Mr. Cai.

So he went with Suo Wen.

-There won't be any trouble, right? -What trouble could there be?

When I went to deliver the timber today,

I heard them say that Xituang was dying.

Zhou Bin is handling it. Aiso knows about it too.

You can go see him if you want.

What's going on?

It's a token from the logging camp.

Okay, I'll keep it for now. I'll give it to Aiso when I return.

Mao Pan must die.

What are you doing? Where are you going?

Why are you stopping me?

When Mr. Li died,

didn't you say you wanted to kill Mao Pan too?

If I killed him, wouldn't I be just like him?

I've made an agreement with Jue Xintun. He will definitely pay the price.

-Stay calm for now. -Bing, Suo Mintun, Xituang, and I.

We joined the orphan squad together.

Now only Bing and I remain.

Dead. They're all dead.

-Only Bing and I remain. -Lanbo, calm down.

Enough.

Calm down.

Stay calm.

Get your wound treated first.

I'll take him back to Mongnawng while he's unconscious

and hand him over to Aiso.

It doesn't matter how crazy he gets afterward.

I'll go with you.

Treat the wound first. It'll be troublesome if it gets infected.

MOPON, TRILATERAL SLOPES

Xing.

What's up?

You didn't sign for these trips of water fetching. You need to fill it in.

Okay.

Suo Wen.

Suo,

I haven't seen you in a while.

You went into the mountains with Mr. Cai a few days ago.

What was it for?

Why all the secrecy?

-Tell me. -Xing.

Hello?

Come to my KTV and meet me at 5 p.m.

in Room 666.

GOLDEN GREEN KTV, KYU-LAWN

Ms. Liu.

Is the number right?

-Have I shortchanged you? -Not at all.

The number is right. Thank you, Ms. Liu.

What's your name?

-Shen Xing? -Yes.

That's an odd name.

Have you been in the Trilateral Slopes for a long time?

No, it's been less than a year. I've been working for Mr. Cai all along.

Why are you, a Chinese person, working for him?

Isn't it good to work for him?

It's not about him. It's about you.

You look rough.

But you are probably quite handsome if you get dressed up.

Being a driver is tough.

How about coming to work at my KTV?

No thanks, Ms. Liu. Mr. Cai has been kind to me.

You're really funny.

I would believe it if you said it was for the money.

It is also for the money.

But isn't it all about the money?

You run a KTV and take on such business from Kunpadi.

Isn't it all for money? Right?

"Such business"? What business?

-Are you looking down on me? -I'm not. Sorry.

This place is rotten with poor security and a low standard of living.

Many families want to marry off their daughters.

To receive a dowry is one reason.

On the other hand, they probably think

that marrying off the girls can change their fate.

Anyway, I don't know about other places.

But for those girls who work at my place, the prerequisite is voluntariness.

I'm not a human trafficker, am I?

When they are here for training, I never lock the doors.

What are they trained for? What's there to train for?

Language, manners, literacy, and math. They need to be trained for everything.

What's the use of that?

A girl who knows nothing

won't be able to control her own fate when she's married off.

What about Ming? Does he also provide training?

He doesn't care about these things.

He just wants to fly. I'm talking about the real kind of flying.

Right. I've seen it.

So I ran away from that place.

I thought I could find a better way to do this business. Right?

Ms. Liu, here's to you.

You are farsighted.

No wonder they're all willing to give you the orders.

You're a bit strange.

You look like an elder

who doesn't drink but sits here, chats with me,

and judges me.

I really don't know what to do, Ms. Liu. You told me to sit.

I don't know how to talk to you.

I have a thousand things to do.

-I have no time for this. -No time for what?

Wait, Ms. Liu.

Here? Isn't it a bit…

Oh, my goodness.

Ms. Liu.

Mr. Mao has locked Zhizhimin in Room 888.

Can't you find another time?

Can't you see I'm in the middle of something?

Sorry, Ms. Liu. But he's cleared everyone out.

We don't know what he's doing in there.

What are you doing?

I said not to disturb Mr. Mao.

I'm here to deliver something. Go away.

Mr. Mao?

Mr. Mao, it's Liu Jincui. Mr. Mao?

Stop watching. Go away.

Mr. Mao?

Could you open the door? I've brought you a bottle of liquor.

-I have liquor. Let's talk later. -Mao Pan?

Open the door. I need to talk to you. Mao Pan?

Aren't you annoying, Cui?

Mao Pan, you've gone too far. Zhizhimin is my people. Let her out.

Mao Pan, Zhizhimin is my manager.

-We both know the rules, right? -The rules?

You're talking about rules?

Don't forget who invested in your KTV.

That's right.

Without President Chen, there wouldn't be me.

But investment is for returns.

If the rules are broken and we can't operate,

what do I have to repay President Chen?

Believe it or not,

I'll get him to hand the KTV over to me when I return.

He seems worried that you're occupied by your own deals

to the point that you can't look after the KTV.

You must let Zhizhimin go.

If you think that I have been a poor host,

I can offer you an apology.

I can also apologize to President Chen. But rules are rules.

In the worst case, I'll pack up and leave right away.

How about this?

Finish this bottle, and we'll call it even.

Ms. Liu, it's a bottle of pure baijiu. You can't drink it.

Let her go first.

Don't blame me for not giving you a chance.

Open the door, and I'll finish this bottle.

Mao Pan, open the door!

I'll finish this bottle.

-Open the door! -Mao Pan…

Open it up. I'll drink for her.

I thought I heard wrong. It really is you.

How come you're everywhere?

I was going to ask you the same question.

Okay.

You'll be the one to finish the bottle. Come on.

Come on, finish it.

What are you doing?

-Just go. -We know each other.

Liu Jincui,

let him do it.

Come in. Come.

Come on.

This one, right?

-What? -You can finish the liquor.

But not just one bottle.

Going back on your word? What do you want?

A false hero can't save the beauty.

Name it.

Smoke a cigarette every time you finish a bottle.

You can't spit until the cigarette is finished.

If you spit, you start over. This is called "full of daring."

Let's do it.

Hurry up. Finish it.

Hello? Can't you find another time? What is it? Speak.

Alright, I got it.

It's not over yet.

Smoke.

That's disgusting.

Get another bottle of liquor. Let's start over.

Mao Pan, don't go too far.

He's already finished a bottle, as he promised.

I…

Don't rush me!

I got it!

Trash. Don't you dare not come to Golden Green KTV in the future.

You still owe me a round of "full of daring."

Keep it and do the practice.

Quick, release Zhizhimin and take her to rest for a while.

Come on.

Just vomit. Gag your throat.

-No, I… -Let me do it.

Try harder.

Come on.

How are you feeling?

Why did you call me here in such a hurry?

-Where's my uncle? -He's in Kyu-pon.

Attending the launch ceremony of the NBM Fund.

Kyu-pon? If he's in Kyu-pon, why did you call me here?

Zhou Bin, you dared to deceive me?

Shen Xing is Mr. Cai's man.

We've been getting close to To-pan recently.

Don't act without considering the consequences.

Since when is it your turn to tell me what to do?

President Chen locked you in the Elephant and Dragon International Resort

and let you reflect on your mistakes

so you could calm down and think it through.

Well, look at you.

The moment you came out,

you started causing trouble for Liu Jincui.

If it hadn't been for Shen Xing calling me in time,

heaven knows what would have happened.

Shen Xing?

Start the car. Let's go back.

Wait for me. I'll deal with him first, then I'll deal with you.

Ms. Liu,

you were too ruthless.

I was helping you. Why did you break the neck of that bottle?

The mouth of that liquor bottle was small.

If I hadn't cracked it open for you, you would've drunk yourself to death.

The broken glass almost cut me.

Fortunately, Mao Pan was called away by someone today.

Otherwise, we'd be in great trouble.

Why do you think he left?

I had someone from the Chamber of Commerce call him away.

Not anyone in the Chamber of Commerce could have him called away.

I just made a phone call and made up a reason.

What else could I do?

Why did you stand up for me?

It wasn't for you.

I just couldn't stand Mao Pan anymore.

Drink some water.

What are you looking at?

Does your mouth hurt?

It's bearable.

What's wrong?

-Why does this cigarette smell so sour? -It's been laced with drugs.

-It's heroin. -Really?

Shen Xing, come out!

Shen Xing!

Lanbo? Why are you here?

What's going on?

Move!

-Ms. Liu, it's bad. -Leave.

Help.

Lanbo! Get in the car quickly.

What the heck?

I've seen you before. You are Aiso's man.

Take a rest here, Mr. Mao.

Do you want to smoke?

There is a gunshot wound in your lung. You can't smoke.

Help.

What? I can't hear you.

Phone. Ambulance.

Zhizhimin, are you sure you don't want to come in and have a look?

An opportunity like this is rare. Only this once.

Alright.

It's nothing. I thought you might want to take a look.

Who knew you would have such an aversion to Mr. Mao?

I really want to call everyone you've bullied to come

and see what you look like now.

But the Golden Green KTV is a bit too small.

It can't fit that many people.

Help…

He must die.

He knows me. If he is dead,

Papa's business won't be affected.

So you are afraid it will affect your papa's business, huh?

I thought you went back to Mongnawng.

I didn't. I'd been with Zhou Bin the whole time.

He told me to wait until today.

Zhou Bin?

I must avenge Xituang and Suo Mintun with my own hands.

Couldn't you think it through before you avenged them?

This is a crowded area. You shot and killed two people.

Do you think no one saw you? Those are all eyewitnesses.

Do you still think you can get away with it?

If you don't turn yourself in, you'll bring big trouble to your papa.

Last night, people from the KTV ran out.

They saw it too that the kid jumped off this bridge.

Then that skinny guy followed and fired several shots into the river.

I don't know if he hit the target.

Then he jumped into the Mwi-syo River. And then there was another gunshot.

The information you provided is very important.

Please cooperate fully with us for the following investigation.

It's over now. Don't interfere anymore.

Zhou Bin won't let you get involved either.

No one will investigate this thoroughly.

Why?

Too many people wanted him dead.

It's not the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

A villain must be smitten down after all.

Tuo, let's sing and dance.

Don't just drink. Come on.

Just one. I still need to work after one shot.

I doubt if you are really working.

Hey. Don't be shy, Tuo

Come on
