The Knockout (2023) s01e30 Episode Script
Episode 30
I
I need to go to the toilet.
Go ahead.
Where are you going?
You brought me here without asking anything.
You're wasting my time.
We're all here.
Come on. Let’s go.
An Xin.
An Xin.
Sit down.
Leader An.
Leader An.
What is wrong?
Is everyone from our club
here?
Almost.
Your club is not big.
Not many people.
They should know
what you did.
You don't want
this kind of opportunity to take the initiative to confess
and make contributions, right?
They all want it.
No, I want it.
They know nothing, right?
Only I know
what I've done.
Think about it.
In 2015,
Who asked you to execute
Qiangsheng Property Manager,
Wang Shuai’s felony to misdemeanour punishment?
Lu Peng admitted that
he did indeed accept
Wang Shuai’s bribe
to induce the report to amend the testimony.
and the case is not investigated.
But it was always Wang Shuai
who was in contact with Lu Peng.
Gao Qiqiang can't be involved.
Wang Shuai.
Although Wang Shuai's position is relatively low
in Qiangsheng Group,
the bad influence
among the people is enormous.
Through Wang Shuai’s case,
we will announce
to Jinghai city the determination
to normalise the rectification
of the political and legal team
to eliminate
crime and evil.
Wang Shuai is just an underling
of Qiangsheng Group.
He is domineering
not by himself,
but the Qiangsheng Group behind them.
The person thate the people are afraid
is not Wang Shuai,
but Gao Qiqiang,
who protects him.
Being gentle,
passionate and friendly
is just Gao Qiqiang’s disguise.
In his heart,
he still regards other people's lives as nothing.
Learn calligraphy
with Mr. Yu.
This is the real master.
Go take a look at
the characters written by Mr. Yu.
Okay.
I'll see you off.
Take care.
I knew that
you were extraordinary
as you as you wrote.
-People's servants. -are different.
Really?
Okay, take care.
Bye.
Lu Peng explained
the well-documented amount of bribery.
There are over 8 million yuan
and more than 4 million property.
Even he couldn't
tell the origin of that.
Look at these.
How dare a grassroot cadre
take so much money?
Look at him
took it with such confidence.
The backing behind
must be powerful.
In this aspect,
Lu Peng didn't say anything.
But according to his colleagues
in police station,
everyone knows that there's someone high up there.
Besides,
he is the leader who takes charge of an important position
in the political system.
But Lu Peng is very tight-lipped.
He didn't reveal
the leader's name
even when he's drunk.
Mr. Lu from Pingkang Police Station.
is in trouble now.
Everyone is in panic, you know that?
Ask them find Jiang Tian.
What do people at the outside say?
They all think
Wang Shuai confessed.
Impossible. We have our own rules.
He wouldn’t dare.
What is what you think.
Wang Shuai is in the special investigation team now.
No one can find out and
there's no way to make him disappear too.
As time goes by,
he will be a disaster.
Brother Qiang,
Wang Shuai has been with me for so many years.
It’s impossible for him to do it.
Trust me.
Brother Qiang means
you should punish him.
Doesn't Wang Shuai
have a wife and children at home?
We need to let others know that
if they offend the Gao family,
they have to pay for it.
I see.
I'll make a big fuss.
But don’t kill him.
Brother Qiang,
the food you want to take away.
Okay, I'll eat it while it's hot.
Are you not eating?
What does his family have to do with you?
They'll be considered as unlucky if they are burned to death.
Brother.
Eat.
Before the fire,
this Wang Shuai's wife
moved back to her mother's house
with his child.
So, no casualties were caused.
According to the investigation results,
it's certain that it was arson.
Luckily you arranged
to move Wang Shuai’s family away.
If I didn’t arrange it,
maybe this fire
wouldn't have started.
I analysed that
it is possible that they didn't go for someone.
Maybe they just wanted to threaten
those who work with us.
Are we going to
cooperate with Jinghai Public Security
to catch the arsonist?
Can you ask something valuable?
I don't think so.
So let's focus
on dealing with Qiangsheng Group.
What is this?
I have one too.
I have one too.
I have one too.
I have one too.
Is this food cooked by the host?
It has always been provided
by the restaurant of the reception centre.
[Thank you for calling Jinghai Qiangsheng Group.]
[Press one for consultation.]
[Press two for business cooperation.]
Gao Qiqiang
declared war against us face to face.
Qiangsheng Group.
An Xin.
What do you think Gao Qiqiang
wants
besides showing off his tricks,
and
letting us retreat?
I just remembered something.
A few days ago,
he wanted to ask you both out
to have dinner and chat through me.
I refused on the spot.
Now it seems that
I underestimated
his
sincerity.
He is so eager
to meet us.
It is easy.
Bring him here.
Ji,
we should try peaceful means first before resorting to force.
We won't go for dinner.
Meeting outside
is okay for me.
You can arrange
the safety.
The road we're taking now
is called Couple Street.
It wasn't here before.
This used to be the Old Factory Street
before renovation.
Our old factory area is over there.
So you took over
the modification project?
It is not really considered as taking over.
It's also won by our group
and the government through bidding.
Well,
after the project,
we found that we lost money
when we calculated the profit or loss.
Because at that time,
the materials we used
and the workers for building this street
were the best.
It's just a little bit of welfare
for the old neighbours.
The local neighbours
must be grateful for your kindness.
I'm not sure.
Please ask around for me next time.
Are these
renovations of old buildings?
Some of them are.
If the quality of some buildings
was made dangerous,
we would demolish and rebuild them.
The good thing is to renovate the outer wall.
It is a combination of old and new.
Are there any dangerous buildings
that are not demolished?
Actually quite a lot.
For example, at the front,
there's an old ancestral hall
that was left in the Ming Dynasty.
Later on, the government gave them
a new land.
After building a new ancestral hall,
the old ancestral hall
was turned into a tea house.
It's called Fu Lu Tea House.
I often go there for tea and food.
Why don't we go there
and have a simple meal?
I'm not hungry yet.
Don't waste our time
on eating.
Yes.
Your time is precious.
But
there are also some people with ulterior motives
want us to
have a meal together.
It's all ulterior motives.
Do you think they did this
out of
jealousy?
There should be some.
Our generation has caught up with
the dividends of the times
and earned some money.
I hope to give back to the society.
But many people
can't see our contributions.
They always hope to create troubles
behind my back.
I am quite helpless actually.
I'm here today actually
to take more walks
and listen more.
The employees of my group
know me well.
All these years,
actually,
I'm not really interested
in business.
I just hope to spend
mroe time on some
social welfares.
I heard about it.
You did a great job.
Do charity, public welfare,
and volunteer work.
A little.
There is a kindergarten I donated
not far from here.
If you don't mind,
and if you have time,
I would like to invite you
to guide your work.
Sure.
One, one, one, two, one.
One, two, one.
One, two, one.
Attention!
What is
the fee standard?
Our basic charge
is lower than
public kindergarten.
Besides,
they provide three meals a day
and school bus.
These are free.
All free?
All free.
Why three meals?
Normal kindergarten
would only provide breakfast and lunch.
Let me explain.
Here in our kindergarten,
there are many young parents nowadays
who don't have elders to help them
take care of their children.
They don't have the condition
to hire a full-time babysitter.
Here's the thing.
Generally speaking,
the time for children's after school
is 4 p.m.
The parents are working.
They will be off work
at 6 p.m.
They just can't tell the company that
they need to get off work
two hours earlier.
So I thought of a way.
We provide
a third meal, which is a dinner.
After dinner,
we'll send them home
by school bus.
It happens
to be the time when
their parents get off work.
So, it helps them
solve some problems.
So, basically, there isn't
any profit.
As long as
it's not a loss, then it is considered okay.
This is Class 2 of kindergarten.
It's fixed for now at
18 children.
Yes.
Slow down.
Fei.
Hello, uncle.
Hello.
Fei, what breakfast have you had?
Hello, uncle.
Hello, uncle.
OK. Salute.
OK.
Okay, you go.
The second floor is the class of middle groups.
The third floor is the class of older groups.
Yes.
It's mainly because
I'm afraid that the junior classes' kids in the class
would be inconvinient for staying on the 3rd floor.
because they must be playing around
at the stairs.
Besides
building this kindergarten,
I heard that you've done
a lot of good things.
I can't say it myself.
It would be kind of like
boosting my ego.
A little bit.
Is there
a nursing home?
I heard you often volunteer there.
It seems that you have had
a detailed investigation on me.
There is indeed one.
Can I visit there?
Sure.
Let's go.
Old people in the nursing home
must be singing here
every day
when there's sunshine.
Go and listen. It's quite good.
Yes, sir. No problem.
Hello, director.
Come here.
Come, cover the blanket.
Be careful don't let it fall down.
This place is so nice.
When I retire,
I'm going to
prepare a bed here.
That's too early to say.
It's still early from retirement.
Soon.
If you don't mind,
there must be a bed for you here.
Mr. Gao,
is he coming to inspect your work?
Hello, Mr. Chen.
This is the leader from the province.
Leader Xu.
-Hello. -Hello, leader Xu.
You're considerate.
I believe
our job in the nursing home
will go further.
Okay, thank you.
Okay, bye.
Bye. Bye.
Why did you think of
running a nursing home here?
I feel ashamed.
My parents passed away early.
I didn't have a child.
So when I earned some money,
when I am bored,
I would think what I would do when I am old,
right?
Someone has to take care of me.
The more I think about it, the more scared I am.
And then afterwards,
it used to be a resort here.
There was a foreign trader
who went bankrupt due to poor management.
The employee's salary was owed for months.
The government asked
who would take over this.
I thought that the air is fresh here,
and there is hardware equipment.
I just turned it to a nursing home.
To put it bluntly,
it's for my own good.
After
it opened,
I came here often.
For volunteering work.
I saw these old people
living a fulfilling life.
I feel that getting old
isn't that scary.
Then I'm relieved.
Mr. Gao,
Mr. Huang has been
talking about you when you weren't here.
Did there something wrong happen that he is looking for me?
Nothing. He's fine.
I guess
he wants you
to clean up the plants.
Mr. Huang misses you.
I
How about this?
Director,
please help me
continue taking the tour for me.
I'll go find him.
Maybe he asked me to plant some flowers.
Okay.
If it's okay,
we can go there together.
There may be a lot of people here.
I don't want to disturb him.
Okay, it's okay.
You come with me.
The rest stay
and continue the tour.
What do you think?
OK.
Over there.
Director, take them there.
-Continue the tour. -Okay.
-Goodbye, sir. -Okay, bye.
-Bye. -This way, please.
This way.
Here,
these single buildings
are transformed
according to the structure of the hotel.
I'll arrange six elders
in the same building
if there are some elders
who like lively atmosphere,
What about Mr. Huang?
Hello.
Mr. Huang
likes tranquility.
He's alone.
I'll go and say hello.
Gao is here.
Pass me the scissors
on the round table.
Okay.
Here.
There are two leaders from the province.
They also want to visit you.
No leaders are more important
than my flowers.
Let me trim it.
I know how to do it.
I just cut the rotten leaves,
right?
Teacher Huang.
Xu.
Teacher Huang.
Why are you here?
You're a rare guest.
Jinghai is my hometown.
Let's go. Have a seat inside.
You are in good health. Come in.
I'm fine.
Before I was transferred to the province,
I worked in Jinghai
for more than ten years.
Come, have a seat.
Have a seat.
Have a seat.
Teacher,
I really don't know.
Both of our units didn't contact each other.
If you hadn't come to the party school,
we wouldn't have met.
Yes.
Gao, have a seat.
No need.
I'll make tea for the both of you.
You can have a chat.
When Mr. Huang just came back to Jinghai,
the Municipal Party Committee
gave him
a house with a view of the ocean, right?
He's not used to it.
Thank you for
taking a fancy
to mu nursing home.
I don't have any hobbies.
I just like flowers and plants.
I even dragged Gao
to be busy with me.
It's not considered being busy.
I like
flowers and plants on my own.
I learned a lot of gardening from you.
Thank you so much for that.
It just so happens that
I just finished taking care of two pots of asparagus setaceus.
They are for you.
Then I
How about I
to the car first?
Here's some tea.
Help yourselves. Okay.
Well,
Can you hold this for me?
Yes.
OK.
I'll take it to the car first.
-You two please sit here first. -Okay.
You guys continue.
Xu, have some tea.
Come. You drink.
Here you are. Thank you.
Thank you.
Gao
is quite good.
What is so good about him?
You are my student.
I don't treat you as an outsider. Yes.
After an old cadre like me
retired,
the power gone, the adulation done.
No matter how close I was to you,
now,
we can hardly see each other once every year.
Oh no, we meet once a year.
On the Double Ninth Festival every year,
I brought a fruit basket
and some fruits,
leading
taking pictures with a bunch of reporters
then left after that.
Don't laugh.
I've retired for eight years.
I threw eight baskets.
No more.
But Gao
is really nice to you.
All these old people in the nursing home
praise him.
Teacher Huang,
you've been working
for the Organisation Department for so many years.
You've seen countless people.
You
I know what you want to say.
At the beginning,
I was
very careful.
I was afraid he would send me
a suger-coated bullet.
But in the end,
He didn't want anything.
He's been with me all day
just for a cup of tea.
He really didn't mention anything at all?
Nothing.
I remember Chairman Mao said
it's not hard to do a good thing,
but
doing good deeds all your life.
It's been eight years.
Who can pretend to be a good person for that long?
Teacher Huang, I remember
Chairman Mao said like,
it's not hard to do good deeds but
to do good deeds
all life
and do nothing bad.
He's a businessman.
He sells low and earns some profit.
What kind of bad thing is this?
Yes.
Teacher Huang,
with what you said today,
I'll go back
and think about it.
I am just a retired old man
that complains.
Don't take it seriously.
Yes.
By the way, I haven't asked you,
why you came to Jinghai this time?
We are here for
the education and rectification of the political and legal team.
And also
continue
to wipe out the underworld.
Isn't the action of cracking down on gang crimes
over?
The provincial government has even held a Commendation Conference.
Teacher Huang, the Central Committee
have the determination to
eradicate corruption and
crack down on gang crimes.
After that, it should be normal.
I said so much just now.
Don't I look
a bit
No, teacher.
Teacher.
Today is a private chat
between a teacher and a student.
It doesn't involve any work.
Private chat?
Private chat.
Speak freely.
Speak freely?
Yes.
I'll say more then.
Okay.
Success comes with its drawbacks is
a term that
we, as hosts, know very well.
Yes.
You did areally great job.
All the criticism is here for that.
Let's talk about Gao.
In society,
there are a lot of rumours about him.
Even I heard a few words.
But rumours are rumours.
Real gold fears no fire.
The annual taxes of Qiangsheng Group
are all
written down as a record.
There are evidences.
Yes.
Teacher Huang, you're right.
We need efficiency
for social progress.
But to satisfy
the happiness of the people,
then
we need
fairness.
I've retired for many years.
I can't see that clear
in the current situation comparing to you.
Wait for me.
Have some tea.
Have some tea. Okay.
I'll get you something.
These are some letters
from some of my students.
They are scattered
all departments in Jinghai.
They know more about
the grassroots situation.
These are what some cadres think
of Gao Qiqiang.
Take a look.
That much?
This is just opinions of some
of the cadres.
Here, have some tea.
Okay.
The visit arranged by Gao Qiqiang
made me feel very anxious.
The society is changing.
The means of criminals
are also changing.
In the past,
they used violence
to dominate the market
and illegally gather wealth.
Now,
they are devoted to making friends with officials
and take political status
and even meddled with the appointment and removal of officials.
These methods are more concealed
and more dangerous.
Mr. Huang has worked in the provincial for many years.
He was involved in
many personnel changes.
The cadres really respect him.
If Gao Qiqiang wants to use Mr. Huang
to defend himself, then
it will be difficult.
We have our way to deal with him.
It seems Gao Qiqiang
has his ways to deal with us too.
Come in.
Ji, here's more.
Leader,
the situation of Qiangsheng's
kindergarten
has basically been figured out.
This kindergarten has
an unwritten admission rule which is
one of the child's parents must be
must be grassroots public servant of
various agencies in Jinghai City.
Grassroots public servants?
What is Gao Qiqiang's plan?
What about the nursing home?
80 percent of those who
live in the nursing home
are retired old cadres.
20 percent of those
are the relatives and friends
of the retired old cadres.
Ji,
Gao Qiqiang has a great move.
Look, he holds
most grassroots public servants on one hand.
On the other hand,
he holds
retired cadres with
a huge psychological gap.
It didn't take him a huge effort
to make
the public servants team
all on his side.
And then he used both ends to radiate to the
leadership with positions in the middle.
Everyone in Jinghai City
is all defending him.
Look.
Here.
So,
that's why
our work
is progressing
in a very difficult way.
Gao Qiqiang is so powerful.
Now, he revealed his
ins and outs to us
and let us retreat.
Leader,
we haven't found the person
who put cards in our rice yet.
This reception centre
is not safe anymore.
Should we consider
changing a place?
For the sake of safety,
we are temporarily
relocation our offices
but we don’t stop working.
After Wang Shuai was arrested,
the people of Jinghai saw the province's determination
to normalise the cracking down on gang crimes.
More and more people stand up
to provide us with clues.
Political and legal police,
the discipline and law reporting platform
and the 110 of Jinghai City
have received a lot of new information
from the public.
The situation is heading
towards the direction we want.
Daggar.
Daggar.
Hello, Daggar.
Daggar.
Daggar.
Have a seat, Daggar.
This month's bill.
Daggar, have some water.
Shi Lei.
How tall are you?
1183.
Someone said you've done money laundering.
How is that possible, Daggar?
Your brothers are managing
the money and chips.
How could I do money laundering?
I dare not either.
Why are you running?
You are
quite honest.
But your face makes me feel like
you're lying to me.
Daggar.
I dare not.
The main thing is,
we didn't open this month.
Wellthe accounts are not good.
Things are a bit tense recently.
Isn't the supervision team here?
Today,
you send messages to
the frequent customers.
Tell them
we'll stop operating for two months.
Daggar.
It's gonna be okay when you and Brother Qiang are here, right?
How can we make money if we shut down?
How can I pay you back
when I don't earn money?
Isn't the factory yours?
You continue to do seeding.
How can I do that kind of business?
Well
Besides, the factory has been mortgaged to you.
I still have to pay the interest too.
Can you feel sorry for me?
Shi Lei, do you think
I’m stupid?
No.
You run a factory
and earn money here at my place.
After that,
you pay me back the interest.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Blackie,
the police are here.
Captain Zhang.
Among the people we want to catch,
isn't there one of the person
that you want to catch?
Leave this
to our security team.
I'll send him to you later
after arresting them.
You have to go through the handover procedure too.
It's troublesome.
Okay, let's go together.
Block
all the doors.
Don't let anyone escape.
Move!
Police! Police! Freeze!
Police! Freeze! Get down!
Get down!
Put down what's in your hand!
Hands on your head!
Squat!
Hands on your head and squat down!
Police execution. What are you doing?
Squat!
Captain Zhang.
It’s not illegal
to not squat when I am old, right?
You got this problem from there?
Mr. Tang bought seeds.
It covers a wide range.
I
I'm practicing Iron Palm.
Don't waste food.
I'm giving seeds a massage.
How do you do this business?
Let me learn.
I don't know about this.
You have to ask the person in charge.
Where is the person in charge?
I
I am
I’m the person in charge.
Shi Lei?
Yes.
Someone reported that
there was a crowd gambling here.
We are a seed company.
We sell seeds.
How
How is that possible that
someone is gambling here?
Check it.
Go ahead.
Search it.
Hurry up.
-Search carefully. -Yes.
Search every corner.
Yes.
Captain Zhang.
I found some chips and cash.
Mr. Shi.
What is this?
I don't know.
I don't know what this is.
Then you can only
go back to the police station with us.
Wang.
Yes.
Handcuff him.
Put it down.
Give me your hand.
Mr. Shi, you’re screwed.
You even have this kind of business?
Mr. Tang, take your time.
Thank you.
OK.
Everyone,
take out your ID card
for registeration.
Here, get your ID card.
Hurry up.
Hurry up.
Hello, sir.
Hello, sir.
Director.
Hello, Section Chief.
Hello, Section Chief An.
Section Chief An.
Where is Captain Zhang Biao?
The leader is here for inspection.
Follow the order.
Sure.
I want to ask you something.
I know.
It's about education and rectification.
Wouldn't you have come to teach me a lesson, would you?
Yeah.
Screw you!
I heard that
you have wiped out a casino
in the eastern suburbs, right?
Someone reported
saying that it was
controlled by Tang Xiaolong.
Tang Xiaolong was indeed there.
But he said he went to buy seeds there.
There's no evidence.
Did you
bring one person back?
It's time for a rectification in our unit!
How do you know
better than me?
Stop guessing.
How did the interrogationg go?
His name is Shi Lei.
He is the person in charge of the seed company.
He is probably Tang Xiaolong's follower.
Where is he? Show me.
We let him go already.
In less than a day?
He said nothing.
The chips and cash
that we found
have no direct evidence
that they are his.
What could I do if I didn't let him go?
Daggar.
I didn't say anything.
Shi Lei,
why don't you run?
Daggar.
Where can I go?
You know
where my parents live.
You also know
where my wife and children are.
I can't run.
Do you know why I came to you?
No.
You're playing dumb again.
You haven't paid me back the interest this month.
And yesterday,
a pack of money was found by the police
in the factory.
The bosses asked me for it.
I have to let
Mr. Shi know.
I’m not in charge of the account
in the factory.
Who is the person in charge?
It's all your brothers' business.
I didn't even get the money.
Didn't you run the factory?
Who will pay if you lose money?
Daggar.
I'll do whatever you want me to.
But you can't count
the money on me.
I really can’t afford it.
Brother Qiang
often teaches us that
we shouldn't push people to death.
How about this?
I'll take you to do charity.
OK?
Well-doer Shi,
it’s your turn to do charity.
You don't have any infectious diseases, do you?
Does fatty liver disease count?
It's not contagious.
Do you have your ID card?
Don't you have it with you?
Here you are.
Go and donate your blood.
Daggar.
Stop joking.
I'm not.
Doing good deeds
and be rewarded.
Daggar.
Daggar, please spare me.
It's good for your body to donate blood.
It is good for you.
Go.
After donating blood,
bring the blood donation certificate over
to me.
Hello.
Please give me your ID card.
Thank you.
Hello.
Daggar.
Can I go back now?
The amount of blood donation
is over 900ml.
The blood donor will be reimbursed
for llife-long unlimited
clinical blood expenses.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Have some ginger and brown sugar soup.
Let's continue.
Here.
Daggar.
When I was
on the blood donation car,
I asked the doctor.
The doctor said
a person
can only donate blood once a half year.
Here.
Mr. Shi.
Let me tell you.
Blood donation
is good for your health.
Aren't you having fatty liver disease?
It helps to reduce the burden
of your fatty liver disease.
This is good.
Daggar.
I beg you, Daggar.
Daggar.
Daggar.
Daggar.
Daggar.
Hello.
I'm looking for a friend.
I need to go to the toilet.
Go ahead.
Where are you going?
You brought me here without asking anything.
You're wasting my time.
We're all here.
Come on. Let’s go.
An Xin.
An Xin.
Sit down.
Leader An.
Leader An.
What is wrong?
Is everyone from our club
here?
Almost.
Your club is not big.
Not many people.
They should know
what you did.
You don't want
this kind of opportunity to take the initiative to confess
and make contributions, right?
They all want it.
No, I want it.
They know nothing, right?
Only I know
what I've done.
Think about it.
In 2015,
Who asked you to execute
Qiangsheng Property Manager,
Wang Shuai’s felony to misdemeanour punishment?
Lu Peng admitted that
he did indeed accept
Wang Shuai’s bribe
to induce the report to amend the testimony.
and the case is not investigated.
But it was always Wang Shuai
who was in contact with Lu Peng.
Gao Qiqiang can't be involved.
Wang Shuai.
Although Wang Shuai's position is relatively low
in Qiangsheng Group,
the bad influence
among the people is enormous.
Through Wang Shuai’s case,
we will announce
to Jinghai city the determination
to normalise the rectification
of the political and legal team
to eliminate
crime and evil.
Wang Shuai is just an underling
of Qiangsheng Group.
He is domineering
not by himself,
but the Qiangsheng Group behind them.
The person thate the people are afraid
is not Wang Shuai,
but Gao Qiqiang,
who protects him.
Being gentle,
passionate and friendly
is just Gao Qiqiang’s disguise.
In his heart,
he still regards other people's lives as nothing.
Learn calligraphy
with Mr. Yu.
This is the real master.
Go take a look at
the characters written by Mr. Yu.
Okay.
I'll see you off.
Take care.
I knew that
you were extraordinary
as you as you wrote.
-People's servants. -are different.
Really?
Okay, take care.
Bye.
Lu Peng explained
the well-documented amount of bribery.
There are over 8 million yuan
and more than 4 million property.
Even he couldn't
tell the origin of that.
Look at these.
How dare a grassroot cadre
take so much money?
Look at him
took it with such confidence.
The backing behind
must be powerful.
In this aspect,
Lu Peng didn't say anything.
But according to his colleagues
in police station,
everyone knows that there's someone high up there.
Besides,
he is the leader who takes charge of an important position
in the political system.
But Lu Peng is very tight-lipped.
He didn't reveal
the leader's name
even when he's drunk.
Mr. Lu from Pingkang Police Station.
is in trouble now.
Everyone is in panic, you know that?
Ask them find Jiang Tian.
What do people at the outside say?
They all think
Wang Shuai confessed.
Impossible. We have our own rules.
He wouldn’t dare.
What is what you think.
Wang Shuai is in the special investigation team now.
No one can find out and
there's no way to make him disappear too.
As time goes by,
he will be a disaster.
Brother Qiang,
Wang Shuai has been with me for so many years.
It’s impossible for him to do it.
Trust me.
Brother Qiang means
you should punish him.
Doesn't Wang Shuai
have a wife and children at home?
We need to let others know that
if they offend the Gao family,
they have to pay for it.
I see.
I'll make a big fuss.
But don’t kill him.
Brother Qiang,
the food you want to take away.
Okay, I'll eat it while it's hot.
Are you not eating?
What does his family have to do with you?
They'll be considered as unlucky if they are burned to death.
Brother.
Eat.
Before the fire,
this Wang Shuai's wife
moved back to her mother's house
with his child.
So, no casualties were caused.
According to the investigation results,
it's certain that it was arson.
Luckily you arranged
to move Wang Shuai’s family away.
If I didn’t arrange it,
maybe this fire
wouldn't have started.
I analysed that
it is possible that they didn't go for someone.
Maybe they just wanted to threaten
those who work with us.
Are we going to
cooperate with Jinghai Public Security
to catch the arsonist?
Can you ask something valuable?
I don't think so.
So let's focus
on dealing with Qiangsheng Group.
What is this?
I have one too.
I have one too.
I have one too.
I have one too.
Is this food cooked by the host?
It has always been provided
by the restaurant of the reception centre.
[Thank you for calling Jinghai Qiangsheng Group.]
[Press one for consultation.]
[Press two for business cooperation.]
Gao Qiqiang
declared war against us face to face.
Qiangsheng Group.
An Xin.
What do you think Gao Qiqiang
wants
besides showing off his tricks,
and
letting us retreat?
I just remembered something.
A few days ago,
he wanted to ask you both out
to have dinner and chat through me.
I refused on the spot.
Now it seems that
I underestimated
his
sincerity.
He is so eager
to meet us.
It is easy.
Bring him here.
Ji,
we should try peaceful means first before resorting to force.
We won't go for dinner.
Meeting outside
is okay for me.
You can arrange
the safety.
The road we're taking now
is called Couple Street.
It wasn't here before.
This used to be the Old Factory Street
before renovation.
Our old factory area is over there.
So you took over
the modification project?
It is not really considered as taking over.
It's also won by our group
and the government through bidding.
Well,
after the project,
we found that we lost money
when we calculated the profit or loss.
Because at that time,
the materials we used
and the workers for building this street
were the best.
It's just a little bit of welfare
for the old neighbours.
The local neighbours
must be grateful for your kindness.
I'm not sure.
Please ask around for me next time.
Are these
renovations of old buildings?
Some of them are.
If the quality of some buildings
was made dangerous,
we would demolish and rebuild them.
The good thing is to renovate the outer wall.
It is a combination of old and new.
Are there any dangerous buildings
that are not demolished?
Actually quite a lot.
For example, at the front,
there's an old ancestral hall
that was left in the Ming Dynasty.
Later on, the government gave them
a new land.
After building a new ancestral hall,
the old ancestral hall
was turned into a tea house.
It's called Fu Lu Tea House.
I often go there for tea and food.
Why don't we go there
and have a simple meal?
I'm not hungry yet.
Don't waste our time
on eating.
Yes.
Your time is precious.
But
there are also some people with ulterior motives
want us to
have a meal together.
It's all ulterior motives.
Do you think they did this
out of
jealousy?
There should be some.
Our generation has caught up with
the dividends of the times
and earned some money.
I hope to give back to the society.
But many people
can't see our contributions.
They always hope to create troubles
behind my back.
I am quite helpless actually.
I'm here today actually
to take more walks
and listen more.
The employees of my group
know me well.
All these years,
actually,
I'm not really interested
in business.
I just hope to spend
mroe time on some
social welfares.
I heard about it.
You did a great job.
Do charity, public welfare,
and volunteer work.
A little.
There is a kindergarten I donated
not far from here.
If you don't mind,
and if you have time,
I would like to invite you
to guide your work.
Sure.
One, one, one, two, one.
One, two, one.
One, two, one.
Attention!
What is
the fee standard?
Our basic charge
is lower than
public kindergarten.
Besides,
they provide three meals a day
and school bus.
These are free.
All free?
All free.
Why three meals?
Normal kindergarten
would only provide breakfast and lunch.
Let me explain.
Here in our kindergarten,
there are many young parents nowadays
who don't have elders to help them
take care of their children.
They don't have the condition
to hire a full-time babysitter.
Here's the thing.
Generally speaking,
the time for children's after school
is 4 p.m.
The parents are working.
They will be off work
at 6 p.m.
They just can't tell the company that
they need to get off work
two hours earlier.
So I thought of a way.
We provide
a third meal, which is a dinner.
After dinner,
we'll send them home
by school bus.
It happens
to be the time when
their parents get off work.
So, it helps them
solve some problems.
So, basically, there isn't
any profit.
As long as
it's not a loss, then it is considered okay.
This is Class 2 of kindergarten.
It's fixed for now at
18 children.
Yes.
Slow down.
Fei.
Hello, uncle.
Hello.
Fei, what breakfast have you had?
Hello, uncle.
Hello, uncle.
OK. Salute.
OK.
Okay, you go.
The second floor is the class of middle groups.
The third floor is the class of older groups.
Yes.
It's mainly because
I'm afraid that the junior classes' kids in the class
would be inconvinient for staying on the 3rd floor.
because they must be playing around
at the stairs.
Besides
building this kindergarten,
I heard that you've done
a lot of good things.
I can't say it myself.
It would be kind of like
boosting my ego.
A little bit.
Is there
a nursing home?
I heard you often volunteer there.
It seems that you have had
a detailed investigation on me.
There is indeed one.
Can I visit there?
Sure.
Let's go.
Old people in the nursing home
must be singing here
every day
when there's sunshine.
Go and listen. It's quite good.
Yes, sir. No problem.
Hello, director.
Come here.
Come, cover the blanket.
Be careful don't let it fall down.
This place is so nice.
When I retire,
I'm going to
prepare a bed here.
That's too early to say.
It's still early from retirement.
Soon.
If you don't mind,
there must be a bed for you here.
Mr. Gao,
is he coming to inspect your work?
Hello, Mr. Chen.
This is the leader from the province.
Leader Xu.
-Hello. -Hello, leader Xu.
You're considerate.
I believe
our job in the nursing home
will go further.
Okay, thank you.
Okay, bye.
Bye. Bye.
Why did you think of
running a nursing home here?
I feel ashamed.
My parents passed away early.
I didn't have a child.
So when I earned some money,
when I am bored,
I would think what I would do when I am old,
right?
Someone has to take care of me.
The more I think about it, the more scared I am.
And then afterwards,
it used to be a resort here.
There was a foreign trader
who went bankrupt due to poor management.
The employee's salary was owed for months.
The government asked
who would take over this.
I thought that the air is fresh here,
and there is hardware equipment.
I just turned it to a nursing home.
To put it bluntly,
it's for my own good.
After
it opened,
I came here often.
For volunteering work.
I saw these old people
living a fulfilling life.
I feel that getting old
isn't that scary.
Then I'm relieved.
Mr. Gao,
Mr. Huang has been
talking about you when you weren't here.
Did there something wrong happen that he is looking for me?
Nothing. He's fine.
I guess
he wants you
to clean up the plants.
Mr. Huang misses you.
I
How about this?
Director,
please help me
continue taking the tour for me.
I'll go find him.
Maybe he asked me to plant some flowers.
Okay.
If it's okay,
we can go there together.
There may be a lot of people here.
I don't want to disturb him.
Okay, it's okay.
You come with me.
The rest stay
and continue the tour.
What do you think?
OK.
Over there.
Director, take them there.
-Continue the tour. -Okay.
-Goodbye, sir. -Okay, bye.
-Bye. -This way, please.
This way.
Here,
these single buildings
are transformed
according to the structure of the hotel.
I'll arrange six elders
in the same building
if there are some elders
who like lively atmosphere,
What about Mr. Huang?
Hello.
Mr. Huang
likes tranquility.
He's alone.
I'll go and say hello.
Gao is here.
Pass me the scissors
on the round table.
Okay.
Here.
There are two leaders from the province.
They also want to visit you.
No leaders are more important
than my flowers.
Let me trim it.
I know how to do it.
I just cut the rotten leaves,
right?
Teacher Huang.
Xu.
Teacher Huang.
Why are you here?
You're a rare guest.
Jinghai is my hometown.
Let's go. Have a seat inside.
You are in good health. Come in.
I'm fine.
Before I was transferred to the province,
I worked in Jinghai
for more than ten years.
Come, have a seat.
Have a seat.
Have a seat.
Teacher,
I really don't know.
Both of our units didn't contact each other.
If you hadn't come to the party school,
we wouldn't have met.
Yes.
Gao, have a seat.
No need.
I'll make tea for the both of you.
You can have a chat.
When Mr. Huang just came back to Jinghai,
the Municipal Party Committee
gave him
a house with a view of the ocean, right?
He's not used to it.
Thank you for
taking a fancy
to mu nursing home.
I don't have any hobbies.
I just like flowers and plants.
I even dragged Gao
to be busy with me.
It's not considered being busy.
I like
flowers and plants on my own.
I learned a lot of gardening from you.
Thank you so much for that.
It just so happens that
I just finished taking care of two pots of asparagus setaceus.
They are for you.
Then I
How about I
to the car first?
Here's some tea.
Help yourselves. Okay.
Well,
Can you hold this for me?
Yes.
OK.
I'll take it to the car first.
-You two please sit here first. -Okay.
You guys continue.
Xu, have some tea.
Come. You drink.
Here you are. Thank you.
Thank you.
Gao
is quite good.
What is so good about him?
You are my student.
I don't treat you as an outsider. Yes.
After an old cadre like me
retired,
the power gone, the adulation done.
No matter how close I was to you,
now,
we can hardly see each other once every year.
Oh no, we meet once a year.
On the Double Ninth Festival every year,
I brought a fruit basket
and some fruits,
leading
taking pictures with a bunch of reporters
then left after that.
Don't laugh.
I've retired for eight years.
I threw eight baskets.
No more.
But Gao
is really nice to you.
All these old people in the nursing home
praise him.
Teacher Huang,
you've been working
for the Organisation Department for so many years.
You've seen countless people.
You
I know what you want to say.
At the beginning,
I was
very careful.
I was afraid he would send me
a suger-coated bullet.
But in the end,
He didn't want anything.
He's been with me all day
just for a cup of tea.
He really didn't mention anything at all?
Nothing.
I remember Chairman Mao said
it's not hard to do a good thing,
but
doing good deeds all your life.
It's been eight years.
Who can pretend to be a good person for that long?
Teacher Huang, I remember
Chairman Mao said like,
it's not hard to do good deeds but
to do good deeds
all life
and do nothing bad.
He's a businessman.
He sells low and earns some profit.
What kind of bad thing is this?
Yes.
Teacher Huang,
with what you said today,
I'll go back
and think about it.
I am just a retired old man
that complains.
Don't take it seriously.
Yes.
By the way, I haven't asked you,
why you came to Jinghai this time?
We are here for
the education and rectification of the political and legal team.
And also
continue
to wipe out the underworld.
Isn't the action of cracking down on gang crimes
over?
The provincial government has even held a Commendation Conference.
Teacher Huang, the Central Committee
have the determination to
eradicate corruption and
crack down on gang crimes.
After that, it should be normal.
I said so much just now.
Don't I look
a bit
No, teacher.
Teacher.
Today is a private chat
between a teacher and a student.
It doesn't involve any work.
Private chat?
Private chat.
Speak freely.
Speak freely?
Yes.
I'll say more then.
Okay.
Success comes with its drawbacks is
a term that
we, as hosts, know very well.
Yes.
You did areally great job.
All the criticism is here for that.
Let's talk about Gao.
In society,
there are a lot of rumours about him.
Even I heard a few words.
But rumours are rumours.
Real gold fears no fire.
The annual taxes of Qiangsheng Group
are all
written down as a record.
There are evidences.
Yes.
Teacher Huang, you're right.
We need efficiency
for social progress.
But to satisfy
the happiness of the people,
then
we need
fairness.
I've retired for many years.
I can't see that clear
in the current situation comparing to you.
Wait for me.
Have some tea.
Have some tea. Okay.
I'll get you something.
These are some letters
from some of my students.
They are scattered
all departments in Jinghai.
They know more about
the grassroots situation.
These are what some cadres think
of Gao Qiqiang.
Take a look.
That much?
This is just opinions of some
of the cadres.
Here, have some tea.
Okay.
The visit arranged by Gao Qiqiang
made me feel very anxious.
The society is changing.
The means of criminals
are also changing.
In the past,
they used violence
to dominate the market
and illegally gather wealth.
Now,
they are devoted to making friends with officials
and take political status
and even meddled with the appointment and removal of officials.
These methods are more concealed
and more dangerous.
Mr. Huang has worked in the provincial for many years.
He was involved in
many personnel changes.
The cadres really respect him.
If Gao Qiqiang wants to use Mr. Huang
to defend himself, then
it will be difficult.
We have our way to deal with him.
It seems Gao Qiqiang
has his ways to deal with us too.
Come in.
Ji, here's more.
Leader,
the situation of Qiangsheng's
kindergarten
has basically been figured out.
This kindergarten has
an unwritten admission rule which is
one of the child's parents must be
must be grassroots public servant of
various agencies in Jinghai City.
Grassroots public servants?
What is Gao Qiqiang's plan?
What about the nursing home?
80 percent of those who
live in the nursing home
are retired old cadres.
20 percent of those
are the relatives and friends
of the retired old cadres.
Ji,
Gao Qiqiang has a great move.
Look, he holds
most grassroots public servants on one hand.
On the other hand,
he holds
retired cadres with
a huge psychological gap.
It didn't take him a huge effort
to make
the public servants team
all on his side.
And then he used both ends to radiate to the
leadership with positions in the middle.
Everyone in Jinghai City
is all defending him.
Look.
Here.
So,
that's why
our work
is progressing
in a very difficult way.
Gao Qiqiang is so powerful.
Now, he revealed his
ins and outs to us
and let us retreat.
Leader,
we haven't found the person
who put cards in our rice yet.
This reception centre
is not safe anymore.
Should we consider
changing a place?
For the sake of safety,
we are temporarily
relocation our offices
but we don’t stop working.
After Wang Shuai was arrested,
the people of Jinghai saw the province's determination
to normalise the cracking down on gang crimes.
More and more people stand up
to provide us with clues.
Political and legal police,
the discipline and law reporting platform
and the 110 of Jinghai City
have received a lot of new information
from the public.
The situation is heading
towards the direction we want.
Daggar.
Daggar.
Hello, Daggar.
Daggar.
Daggar.
Have a seat, Daggar.
This month's bill.
Daggar, have some water.
Shi Lei.
How tall are you?
1183.
Someone said you've done money laundering.
How is that possible, Daggar?
Your brothers are managing
the money and chips.
How could I do money laundering?
I dare not either.
Why are you running?
You are
quite honest.
But your face makes me feel like
you're lying to me.
Daggar.
I dare not.
The main thing is,
we didn't open this month.
Wellthe accounts are not good.
Things are a bit tense recently.
Isn't the supervision team here?
Today,
you send messages to
the frequent customers.
Tell them
we'll stop operating for two months.
Daggar.
It's gonna be okay when you and Brother Qiang are here, right?
How can we make money if we shut down?
How can I pay you back
when I don't earn money?
Isn't the factory yours?
You continue to do seeding.
How can I do that kind of business?
Well
Besides, the factory has been mortgaged to you.
I still have to pay the interest too.
Can you feel sorry for me?
Shi Lei, do you think
I’m stupid?
No.
You run a factory
and earn money here at my place.
After that,
you pay me back the interest.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Blackie,
the police are here.
Captain Zhang.
Among the people we want to catch,
isn't there one of the person
that you want to catch?
Leave this
to our security team.
I'll send him to you later
after arresting them.
You have to go through the handover procedure too.
It's troublesome.
Okay, let's go together.
Block
all the doors.
Don't let anyone escape.
Move!
Police! Police! Freeze!
Police! Freeze! Get down!
Get down!
Put down what's in your hand!
Hands on your head!
Squat!
Hands on your head and squat down!
Police execution. What are you doing?
Squat!
Captain Zhang.
It’s not illegal
to not squat when I am old, right?
You got this problem from there?
Mr. Tang bought seeds.
It covers a wide range.
I
I'm practicing Iron Palm.
Don't waste food.
I'm giving seeds a massage.
How do you do this business?
Let me learn.
I don't know about this.
You have to ask the person in charge.
Where is the person in charge?
I
I am
I’m the person in charge.
Shi Lei?
Yes.
Someone reported that
there was a crowd gambling here.
We are a seed company.
We sell seeds.
How
How is that possible that
someone is gambling here?
Check it.
Go ahead.
Search it.
Hurry up.
-Search carefully. -Yes.
Search every corner.
Yes.
Captain Zhang.
I found some chips and cash.
Mr. Shi.
What is this?
I don't know.
I don't know what this is.
Then you can only
go back to the police station with us.
Wang.
Yes.
Handcuff him.
Put it down.
Give me your hand.
Mr. Shi, you’re screwed.
You even have this kind of business?
Mr. Tang, take your time.
Thank you.
OK.
Everyone,
take out your ID card
for registeration.
Here, get your ID card.
Hurry up.
Hurry up.
Hello, sir.
Hello, sir.
Director.
Hello, Section Chief.
Hello, Section Chief An.
Section Chief An.
Where is Captain Zhang Biao?
The leader is here for inspection.
Follow the order.
Sure.
I want to ask you something.
I know.
It's about education and rectification.
Wouldn't you have come to teach me a lesson, would you?
Yeah.
Screw you!
I heard that
you have wiped out a casino
in the eastern suburbs, right?
Someone reported
saying that it was
controlled by Tang Xiaolong.
Tang Xiaolong was indeed there.
But he said he went to buy seeds there.
There's no evidence.
Did you
bring one person back?
It's time for a rectification in our unit!
How do you know
better than me?
Stop guessing.
How did the interrogationg go?
His name is Shi Lei.
He is the person in charge of the seed company.
He is probably Tang Xiaolong's follower.
Where is he? Show me.
We let him go already.
In less than a day?
He said nothing.
The chips and cash
that we found
have no direct evidence
that they are his.
What could I do if I didn't let him go?
Daggar.
I didn't say anything.
Shi Lei,
why don't you run?
Daggar.
Where can I go?
You know
where my parents live.
You also know
where my wife and children are.
I can't run.
Do you know why I came to you?
No.
You're playing dumb again.
You haven't paid me back the interest this month.
And yesterday,
a pack of money was found by the police
in the factory.
The bosses asked me for it.
I have to let
Mr. Shi know.
I’m not in charge of the account
in the factory.
Who is the person in charge?
It's all your brothers' business.
I didn't even get the money.
Didn't you run the factory?
Who will pay if you lose money?
Daggar.
I'll do whatever you want me to.
But you can't count
the money on me.
I really can’t afford it.
Brother Qiang
often teaches us that
we shouldn't push people to death.
How about this?
I'll take you to do charity.
OK?
Well-doer Shi,
it’s your turn to do charity.
You don't have any infectious diseases, do you?
Does fatty liver disease count?
It's not contagious.
Do you have your ID card?
Don't you have it with you?
Here you are.
Go and donate your blood.
Daggar.
Stop joking.
I'm not.
Doing good deeds
and be rewarded.
Daggar.
Daggar, please spare me.
It's good for your body to donate blood.
It is good for you.
Go.
After donating blood,
bring the blood donation certificate over
to me.
Hello.
Please give me your ID card.
Thank you.
Hello.
Daggar.
Can I go back now?
The amount of blood donation
is over 900ml.
The blood donor will be reimbursed
for llife-long unlimited
clinical blood expenses.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Have some ginger and brown sugar soup.
Let's continue.
Here.
Daggar.
When I was
on the blood donation car,
I asked the doctor.
The doctor said
a person
can only donate blood once a half year.
Here.
Mr. Shi.
