[Under the Skin Ⅱ]

[Episode 15]

Have a seat.

Can I sit across from her?

[Strict Regulation, Fairness and Justice, Procedural Legality, Objectivity and Impartiality]

I have nothing

to say to her.

Well, that's unfortunate,

because I have a lot

to say to you.

Are you crazy?

No matter what,

you and Jingjing

were once good friends.

How could you be so cruel

as to try to kill us?

Since you know

Jingjing and I

were good friends back then,

why did you

have to mess with both of us at the same time?

Now that you're about to get married,

why are you still the same as before?

Can't you treat Jingjing well?

What do you mean by the same as before?

What did I do?

[Palmfire Streaming]

The person who made me dance

hundreds of times in my livestream

was you, right, Luo Yifan?

Or am I

so unforgettable to you

that even when you are

with Jingjing,

you still fantasize about me?

That's nonsense, Ao Li!

Aren't you disgusted with yourself?

Don't believe

anything she says.

This is the same trick

she used back then.

Did it work?

Sit down.

Talk calmly.

Back then?

In terms of playing mind games,

I certainly couldn't outplay you.

Baby.

Did you miss me?

What's wrong?

I finally managed to make time

to be with you.

Why are you so upset?

You met Yan Jingjing behind my back,

didn't you?

Who told you that?

It's not like that.

I saw it with my own eyes.

At the movie theater.

Baby,

don't be angry.

Let me explain.

Yan Jingjing asked me out.

I saw it with my own eyes!

Who on earth am I to you?

Luo Yifan.

You're playing me, aren't you?

I'm not.

It's not what you think.

D-Don't be angry.

Look,

my body

is so honest with you.

Be good, baby.

Even if I date someone in the future,

I'll still meet you once a week

as I did before,

okay?

Yes.

I was out of my mind back then.

I couldn't accept it.

I was dead set on taking you away

from Jingjing,

but I never expected that

you had such a foolproof plan.

You even plotted against me!

Fine.

I decided to escape

from the two of you.

But you're actually so disgusting.

Even now,

you still won't leave me alone!

Ao Li.

Ao Li.

What's bothering you?

You can talk to me.

You didn't have to do that.

As long as you two can't get married,

I'm happy.

I know.

You nailed a chicken head to my door

to get my attention.

Actually, back then,

if you hadn't been so stubborn,

we wouldn't have had to

break up.

Luo Yifan,

you're still such a confident jerk.

I've come to you,

so don't talk like that.

That's no fun.

It is fun.

It'll be a lot of fun when I tell Yan Jingjing.

Don't make a scene, Ao Li.

Ao Li,

stop pretending to be tough, okay?

I saw

what you did

in your livestream.

It really broke my heart.

There's a hotel nearby.

If you have any grievances,

you can take your time to tell me.

Luo Yifan.

Are you sick in the head?

Get lost!

Everyone's been fooled by you.

Only I know your true colors.

Why are you

making things up?

Who do you think

Jingjing will believe,

you or me?

You've said so much,

but do you have evidence to prove

that account is mine?

I want to sue her for defamation!

Evidence?

We have it.

This account has been following Ao Li for a long time

and frequently left her

provocative comments.

Well, what...

what does that have to do with me?

The phone number linked to this account

is not yours

but your cousin's.

But

that doesn't prove anything.

I don't even know

my cousin's phone number.

This account really isn't mine.

Luo Yifan.

[Strict Regulation, Fairness and Justice, Procedural Legality, Objectivity and Impartiality]

What have you done?

I hope you can make it clear.

Jingjing.

Jingjing.

I meant every word

I said to you.

These people

are all helping Ao Li.

You must not believe

what they say.

Let's go.

Back then,

he always made me get a hotel room,

and he'd come up later.

He was afraid of

leaving evidence that he slept with me.

Also, he never expressed his affection

in text messages or on the phone.

He only did it when we were

in a hotel room face to face.

That's not true!

Ao Li,

I'll say it again.

I have no feelings for you.

The only person I've ever loved

is Yan Jingjing!

You and I,

from beginning to end,

have only been colleagues.

Understand?

We slept together.

When did that happen?

That's nonsense, Ao Li!

Hey, Jingjing.

I've delivered the medicine.

But there's something

I must tell you about.

Your good friend, Ao Li,

tricked me into delivering medicine for her

and tried to seduce me!

Stop!

Yan Jingjing!

You…

Yan Jingjing!

He's a scumbag!

Break up with him!

Ao Li.

When did I ever

have a relationship with you?

Fine.

Show me the hotel records

and text histories.

Show me!

See?

She's a lunatic!

A psycho!

Jingjing.

Believe me,

okay?

Yes.

I lost my mind

and was seduced by her,

but I swear

I've long

cut ties with her.

In my heart,

you're the one

I truly love.

Luo Yifan.

She was my best friend

at that time!

How could I be so naive?

I can't believe you've been deceiving me all this time.

It's not like that, Jingjing.

It really isn't.

I truly…

Enough!

Do you think

I'll forgive you over and over again,

only for you to

deceive me time after time?

Do you think I can't

bring myself to leave you?

No.

How could I be so stupid?

What have I been doing all these years?

Jingjing.

Listen to me, please.

Y-You…

Get away!

You'll regret this.

Let's first take away

your personal belongings.

Later, you can find a moving company.

Here, let me.

Here.

Thank you, sir.

You're welcome.

I can move myself.

My dad had to make you help me.

I volunteered.

I just thought

if you came back alone

to get things from the new apartment,

it might bring back memories

and be painful.

So I wanted to check on you.

You know what?

I checked our

shared computer account.

It's never been just me.

Besides Ao Li,

there were other women too.

I think

being able to see his true colors before marriage

is actually a good thing.

We can be wrong about people now and then.

Don't be too upset.

But when I think about

the things he did,

I feel so disgusted

that I'm not as sad anymore.

Actually, I've been thinking,

should I

thank Ao Li?

Thank her?

I've thought about a lot of things lately.

Back when we were in college,

we dressed

the same and everything.

Even our personalities were the same.

Later,

things gradually changed.

At first, I thought it was

for personal reasons.

I didn't expect

she had been through so much too.

Haven't you been through a lot too?

Yet you're always thinking about others.

From now on, you need to love yourself more,

okay,

Yan Jingjing?

We all need to love ourselves.

Don't cry.

Let's go.

Han,

I want to ask you

for one more favor.

[Pizza Hut]

You look quite different today.

Why did you ask me out?

Jingjing asked me to.

Don't worry.

I won't do anything to her.

I've already given up on what I wanted to do.

Anyway, I've achieved my goal.

When something upsets me,

I just can't let it go.

I have to

let it all out

to feel at ease.

I just like

to mess everything up.

It's terrible, isn't it?

I don't like who I've become,

but this is who I am.

I used to be like you.

I also thought I was terrible.

Gradually,

I became

a sensitive snail,

afraid to step out of my shell.

But later,

I realized that

only after you accept yourself

will the world

become what you like it to be.

Jingjing asked me to give you this.

[Luo Yifan and Yan Jingjing]

She's still marrying Luo Yifan?

The wedding is on Sunday.

You can come

or not.

[Luo Yifan and Yan Jingjing]

[Luo Yifan and Yan Jingjing] [We're getting married!]

[Happy Marriage]

What does this mean?

Where is everyone?

What's going on?

You're messing with me, aren't you?

Yan Jingjing.

If you want to get back at me,

come at me directly!

Don't pull these weird stunts!

Ao Li.

If I were to marry Luo Yifan,

what would you say to congratulate me?

If you married him,

you'd be doomed.

Congratulate you?

Like hell I would!

You'd wish for us to share the same bed but dream different dreams—

Luo Yifan dreaming of his lovers every night,

while I, Yan Jingjing,

lie awake all night, crying my heart out.

And the worst part?

I wouldn't even have anyone to talk to about it.

I'd deserve it, wouldn't I?

And when you wanted to end

that marriage,

you'd look at your children

and your aging face

and get cold feet.

So you'd have to swallow your pride

and live with that man unwillingly

for the rest of your life.

Sounds familiar?

The lyrics we wrote in college.

We even agreed

that when either of our exes got married,

we'd sing it at their wedding.

The one who didn't sing would be a coward.

Too bad we weren't talented enough

to finish it.

Yan Jingjing.

You've made such a big fuss

just to be here

reminiscing with me?

How can you still be so naive?

I am naive.

What can I do?

I spent so much money.

When I see these things now,

I feel mad!

Now you're cutting the photos.

Where were you earlier?

Don't you hate my naivety?

Don't you hate that I'm stupid?

Don't you hate

that I was with Luo Yifan?

What about you?

What about me?

You put on makeup like this

and dress yourself like this.

You danced like that

on a live-streaming platform.

Are you still you?

I like it this way!

Look who's talking.

You changed yourself

for Luo Yifan.

Where's the old you?

Where did she go?

Didn't I

warn you again and again?

Didn't I tell you

he's a jerk?

But you never

believed me for a second!

I believed you!

When?

Ao Li.

You know what?

From the very beginning,

I believed

that the person you were targeting was Luo Yifan,

not me.

You bitch.

The bitch you can never kill.

You're such a fool.

I heard Ao Li and Jingjing made up.

It's all thanks to you guys.

You've done Yan a big favor.

You came all the way here to see me.

It can't be just to say that, can it?

I sensed Ao Li was dangerous

and predicted

her car accident plan.

But nothing happened.

In the end, she didn't

take that step.

I didn't expect that.

Her plan wasn't perfect to begin with.

During the wedding shoot,

the car speed was steady.

It even slowed down at turns.

Ao Li overlooked

the most important factor.

Perhaps Ao Li

never intended it to be foolproof.

When she completed her plan

in the mini storage,

the murder

had been carried out in her head.

What stopped her from taking that step

was likely Yan Jingjing.

The moment she saw

Yan Jingjing…

She changed her decision.

So,

although Ao Li is aggressive

and dangerous,

she may not necessarily commit a crime.

I understand.

Alright.

You're the expert at capturing traces.

[Reject] [Answer]

[Yan Jingjing]

What?

I've got some great news.

Luo Yifan just got transferred to the head office,

and he's already been fired.

Really?

You didn't have anything to do with this, did you?

Don't be so blunt about it.

Jerk.

Serves him right!

Do you think what I did

was a bit childish?

Childish decisions

are what make people adorable.

[Beijiang Branch, Beijiang City Public Security Bureau]

Good morning, Captain Cheng.

Captain Cheng.

Look who this is.

[House of Flowers]

What's this?

Take a closer look.

That's…

Min Xue?

Yes.

I just happened to

come across this video.

She looked familiar,

so I ran a check. It's really her.

Who's Min Xue?

She was the victim in a case

that Captain Lei handled

when I first became a criminal investigator.

This poor girl had a tough life.

She grew up in an orphanage.

Later, she was adopted,

but while she was still a minor,

she was sexually abused by her adoptive father.

Captain Lei put in a lot of effort

to rescue her.

[House of Flowers]

We kept an eye on her until she became an adult.

What is she doing now?

It seems she's running a charity

called the House of Flowers,

[House of Flowers]

specifically helping young women

from troubled families.

I'm surprised that she's so caring.

It must be challenging for her to do this.

Do you think we should help her?

Since it's a charity, we'll definitely help.

How old is she now?

Now…

twenty-four or twenty-five.

[House of Flowers]

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I just feel

her face doesn't look natural.

Did she do something to it?

Impossible.

When I met her,

she looked like this.

And this is a video.

It's not real.

People nowadays

use filters to look better.

Look at how many girls she's taken in.

How could she afford plastic surgery?

I'll go report this to Director Zhang

and ask her to mobilize everyone.

Dr. He,

what do you think?

Director Zhang!

Director Zhang.

When will you

learn to knock on the door?

It's good news.

Alright, go ahead.

What's the good news?

Do you remember Min Xue?

Min Xue?

The underage victim

who was sexually abused by her foster father?

Yes.

What about her?

She's now running

a rescue station,

dedicated to helping

young women from troubled families.

That's great.

That young girl

has not only

overcome her psychological trauma

but is also doing charity work now.

It seems Captain Lei's

efforts for her weren't in vain.

However,

she seems to be quite tight on money.

I guess it's difficult for her to keep it afloat.

So I'm thinking,

can we organize

a fundraiser in the bureau to help her?

Sure, let's do it.

If we're

to raise money,

shouldn't you set an example

for everyone?

This way, we'll know

how much to donate.

How much are you all planning to donate?

Whatever feels right to you.

If you're donating 500 yuan,

I should at least donate 1,000 yuan.

How about this?

I'll donate 2,000.

Director Zhang,

you're so generous!

Don't just donate money.

When you have time, go and see

if there's anything specific

she needs help with.

After all, it was a case

Captain Lei was responsible for.

Okay.

Put it here.

Give me some.

Come on.

A little higher on this side.

[Police and Community Cooperation: Building a Foundation for Healthy Growth]

Yes.

Hang this here.

Good, good.

Such a grand occasion, huh?

Open this side.

Welcome, officers!

It's been so many years.

You haven't changed a bit.

Du, you've changed a lot

after becoming the captain.

You're so good with words now.

We're just here

because we heard you're running a charity

and we thought we could help out.

Captain Lei helped me a lot back then.

Now that I have the means,

I also want to do my best to help those I can.

We brought something.

Oh, Huanhuan.

Guys, come get this.

Come on.

Hurry.

Here.

We need a man here.

Huanhuan.

Check if everything's ready inside.

Okay.

She's one of the girls you're helping?

She looks quite mature.

Yes.

She just turned eighteen.

Her parents were involved in organized crime.

They're both serving time in prison.

[Police and Community Cooperation: Building a Foundation for Healthy Growth]

Go in and take a look.

The girls who often come here

are all from poor or troubled families.

So our assistance can't be forced.

[Architecture Paradise]

We need to make them want to come here.

So, we came up with the idea

of using art

to cultivate their interests.

[Handmade Workshop]

We use some of their spare time

to give them

exposure to beauty and art,

helping them come out of

the shadows of self-abandonment

and regain their confidence.

Using art for healing

is indeed very suitable for these girls.

If you need,

I can come and help you.

Thank you.

Most of the girls here

have experienced psychological trauma.

We also regularly invite psychologists over

to provide psychological counseling and sex education for them.

Your donation has come

at just the right time.

We just did what we could.

My office

and the dormitory

are upstairs.

[Wall of Honor]

Captain Cheng,

you were so young in this photo.

That photo was taken

after Captain Lei died.

[Wall of Honor]

I've always regretted

not taking a picture

with him back then.

He helped me so much.

If he could see

how great you are now,

he'd be very glad.

Du, let's take a photo together

to remember this day.

I'll help you.

Come on.

One, two, three.

Done.

Working late?

What are you doing?

I'm studying

Min Xue's facial proportions.

Can't you just let her go?

I still feel

she doesn't look like

a girl in her mid-twenties.

So how old do you think

she should be?

At least five years older than she is now.

Around thirty.

Then what do you think

that means?

Well, I think

it's just a force of habit.

I'm curious

and want to figure it out.

You

are just paranoid

and try to get to the bottom of everything.

You'll drive yourself crazy sooner or later.

We've known Min Xue for a long time.

There can't be any problems.

Here.

Have a glass of Orange Americano.

It'll perk you up.

Thanks.

Don't stay too late.

Hello.

I'd like to check in.

[Name: Min Shengmei]

Here you go.

Please wait a moment.

Kids these days

have really been spoiled

by their parents.

She said it's too noisy at home

and demands to stay at a hotel

to focus on studying.

Do you think Mom's money

grows on trees?

You bad girl.

Mirror.

Watch your attitude.

Don't get impatient with me.

People will laugh at us.

Alright.

Here, madam.

Room 1018.

Thank you.

This way?

Yes.

Stop chewing.

Sorry

for keeping you waiting.

Say hi.

Hi.

Sit down.

Come on.

Hurry. You've met before.

Don't be so shy.

He's so nice to you.

He bought you so many gifts.

I'll be next door.

Take your time chatting.

[Police]

The deceased is named Wei Xianzhong.

At 5:20 in the morning,

he fell from the roof of this building.

The person who reported it is his wife.

Go and ask her for more details.

[Police]

This is the deceased's wife.

What exactly happened?

Last night,

I thought he went out

for business entertainment.

I waited for him until

five in the morning,

but he still didn't return.

Then I discovered

he used my credit card

to book a room at this hotel.

I was worried he was cheating on me,

so I came to find him.

The deceased's injuries

are consistent with characteristics of a fall from a great height.

Preliminary assessment indicates

he had drunk a lot of alcohol before his death.

On his body,

there were remains of vomit from before he died.

There is

a strong odor of alcohol.

I checked

the hotel's surveillance footage.

He actually met

two young women in his room.

By the time I arrived,

they had already left.

I was about to go up to find my husband

when I heard

someone had fallen off the building.

Officer,

why would he jump off the building?

He must have been set up

and blackmailed by those two girls.

[Police]

[Basic information; Name: Wei Xianzhong]

Let's begin.

The victim is Wei Xianzhong.

His wife called the police.

She suspects he jumped off the building

because he was blackmailed

in a badger game by two girls.

The hotel's surveillance footage

caught the two suspects

described by Wei Xianzhong's wife.

[Basic information; Name: Min Xue]

Min Xue

and Jiang Huan.

[Basic information; Name: Jiang Huan]

This is the hotel surveillance footage we obtained.

[Corridor 04]

[Corridor 03]

The footage confirms that

[Corridor 02]

Wei Xianzhong only met

Min Xue and Jiang Huan yesterday.

Both of them entered the hotel

[Corridor 01]

without registering.

The receptionists thought they were

guests returning from outside,

so they didn't stop them.

[Corridor 01]

[Corridor 02]

One thing to note is that

the two girls left his room

with a large amount of cash.

Later, after testing

the samples collected in his room,

we found no biological evidence

of sexual activity between

the two girls in the video

and Wei Xianzhong.

The trace expert

also determined from the footprints on the rooftop

that Wei Xianzhong

jumped off voluntarily.

Besides,

there were no other injuries

on his body.

Apart from a high level of alcohol in his blood,

there were no other toxic substances.

Min Xue told me that

Wei Xianzhong had contacted her

many times before his death,

asking her to receive his funding.

Min Xue

had refused him again and again.

This meeting

was suggested by Jiang Huan.

Jiang Huan

grew up in a family with a history of violent crime.

She's been through a lot and wasn't afraid.

Min Xue needed money

to keep the rescue station running,

so she agreed to go.

However, once they got the money,

Wei Xianzhong asked them to drink with him,

which scared them away.

From what we can see now,

it's just her side of the story.

What else?

I also found out

that Wei Xianzhong's company was poorly managed,

owing more than 20 million yuan.

He's just filed for bankruptcy

and received a court summons.

Could it be that

Wei Xianzhong couldn't handle the bankruptcy

and was already considering suicide,

so before taking his own life,

he spent all his money

to enjoy himself one last time?

We still need evidence.

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation Team]

Speaking of evidence,

Min Xue

knew there was a potential risk of sexual harassment,

yet she still went there

without recording

any audio or video.

How come her self-protection instincts

are worse than when she was a kid?

When she was a kid?

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation]

That was many years ago.

Before you guys came.

Min Xue's adoptive mother, Min Shengmei,

had never had children,

so after her divorce,

she lived alone.

She met the conditions for adoption.

At the orphanage,

she met Min Xue

and adopted her.

At that time, Min Xue was

less than 14 years old.

At first,

Min Shengmei treated her very well.

Two years later, she married a lawyer

named Zhang Bin who became

Min Xue's adoptive father.

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation]

But unexpectedly,

Zhang Bin was a pedophile.

Not long after they got married,

he started raping Min Xue.

What's worse is that Min Shengmei

did nothing about it

and was even

in cahoots with Zhang Bin.

In the end, Min Xue

couldn't bear the abuse anymore.

She kept her underwear as evidence

and reported it to the police.

At that time, this case

was handled by Captain Lei.

He directly

sent Zhang Bin and Min Shengmei

to prison.

Alright.

Li Han, Jiang Feng,

go to the rescue station

to run a check

on the people involved.

Okay.

Got it.

Meeting adjourned.

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation]
