[Episode 36]
Yang Jian!
Yang Jian!
Yes!
I didn't forget those names.
But I feel sorry for them.
An Xin,
you’ve always been right.
Hang in there.
If there is a chance,
take care of Yu
and Dou.
I mean
if possible.
An Xin,
why don’t you
arrest me too?
So that our family
can reunite inside.
Yu.
Your mom is awake now.
Your burden is heavier.
Your mother and Dou
need your care afterwards.
You need to be strong.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
I'm sorry.
Don't cry.
My name is Meng Dehai.
I'm 61 years old.
I was the Director
of Jinghai Public Security Bureau,
the Secretary
of Qinghua District Committee.
Now I am the Director of the Standing Committee of Jinghai Municipal People's Congress.
First, I assure the organisation that
I have never accepted
any form of bribes.
But due to my lack of care for my family
for a long time,
and trusted too much in Yang Jian's
consciousness as a party member.
So that I didn't notice the problem in time.
I did not restrain and correct the behaviour
of my family member.
That's why Yang Jian
slips into the abyss of crime step by step.
I thought
as long as you're strict with yourself,
and lead by example,
the junior won't take the wrong path.
But I was wrong.
The ideological thoughts cannot relax
even just for a moment.
As leading cadres,
we should pay more attention
on our family members.
Yang Jian came this far,
it is what he deserves,
and is also the result of my negligence.
I have an inescapable responsibility.
I'm willing to cooperate with the organisation
to investigate all crimes of Yang Jian.
I'm willing to accept any punishment
on me.
It should be
in 2011,
my brother came to me.
Tell me the name.
Yang Jian.
Yang Jian found me.
He asked me to set up
a company that can contract
electrical engineering.
He wants me to be the legal person.
All my projects I received
was found by Yang Jian
through
the Power Supply Bureau.
In the second year,
I received a big project.
But the bidding is needed.
I asked Yang Jian about it.
Yang Jian said don't worry.
He asked me to go for it directly.
A company
knew my relationship with Yang Jian,
they quit.
The other one didn't quit.
So I went to the boss.
I didn't expect him to be so stubborn.
My men did something on him.
He was badly injured because he was hit by us.
I was scared too at that time.
I asked Yang Jian what to do.
Yang Jian told me it is fine.
He could handle it.
Yang Jian came to me
and gave me 100,000 yuan
and asked me for help.
He promised me
he'd give me another 100,000 yuan after it is done.
I didn't want the money.
but our friendship
for so many years.
So, I closed the case for them.
What's your connection
with Qiangsheng Group?
A while ago,
Yang Jian brought Tang Xiaolong
to me.
He asked me
to black out a waitress's house.
He said he asked the waitress
to put some cards.
The elderly in her family has diabetes.
They are afraid of blackout
because the insulin was put in the fridge.
In order to win over and corrupt leading cadres,
the means of some criminals
can be said to be omnipotent.
If the leading cadres have a upright style of work,
they would start from influencing their family members.
They will influence their family first,
and then drag the leading cadres down.
Yang Jian's occasion
has his own reasons.
It is also the result of the constant influence
of Gao Qiqiang.
It can be said that it is
Gao Qiqiang who caused
the the difficulty in using electricity for the people in Jinghai
and the situation of the expensiveness of enterprises electricity.
And all this
is to satisfy
his desire for power.
One's greed
caused countless tragedies for many people.
I can’t imagine
how An Xin feels now.
I don't know how he should face
Meng Dehai and Meng Yu.
He grew up with Meng Yu.
Maybe he can only be strangers in the future.
He has done so much for Jinghai.
All we can do
is sticking to
the normalization of the special campaign of national crackdown on gang crimes.
So that heroes won't fight alone anymore.
Have a seat.
I will stand.
I feel better to be scolded when I stand.
Why should I scold you?
Besides,
what's the point of scolding you?
Go ahead.
Scold all your hatred.
I hate you so much,
An Xin.
I should hate you
I should hate you.
At that time,
you wanted to leave me
in this pavilion.
Actually, when I went home that night,
I figured it out.
You were lying.
But I thought
Fine.
I must live a good life
to show you.
I must live
a very happy life.
In the end,
over the years,
I often come here
after work.
I just sit here.
Right here.
Once, I wanted to
be calm
in this pavilion.
When I came here,
I saw someone
lying here.
I walked closer and that person fell asleep.
I didn't expect it was you.
After that,
I met you here more than once.
Sometimes I often think, at that time,
if we
both of us
Let's not talk about this.
There are no ifs.
I came here today
just to tell you that
I'm leaving Jinghai.
Where are you going?
Beijing.
The doctor said my mom
needs to go
to a big hospital in Beijing.
Are you leaving tomorrow?
What time is your flight? I'll give you a ride.
No, thanks.
I've arranged everything.
Take this with you.
What is this?
Money.
You are poor.
Your mum needs to see a doctor.
You have to take care of the child.
You need money to spend on food and living,
just money is needed everywhere.
II can't spend it alone.
Take it.
You only gave me a card
without telling me the password.
Are you sincere?
Your birthday.
No need.
Take it. I have money.
I really have money.
I don't need your money.
I'm here today
to say goodbye to you wisely.
Okay.
Keep up being a good police
in Jinghai.
Take care of yourself.
Be safe.
These are the questions explained by Yang Jian
and the relevant personnel
of Electric Power Industrial Company.
The people involved
and the leading cadres
behind them
are 67 people in total.
All of them are here.
How many of them are related to Gao Qiqiang?
All here.
That’s all?
Gao Qiqiang barely showed up.
We can’t find the evidences which show
that he was direcly involved.
Wang Li’s case is key.
As long as we find out
the person who shot him,
Gao Qiqiang will not be able to
get away with it.
I totally agree.
This is the focus
of the special investigation team.
Come in.
Leader,
the people in Qinghua District
signed a petition.
[Petition]
[I'm the representative of Qinghua District, Jinghai City. Director Meng Dehai has been working for so long]
Ji, look.
This is
The Federation of Trade Unions, the Association,
the village committee, subdistrict,
the residents committee.
They've got everything they can.
But it is the people that signed it.
I'm afraid
is someone behind it.
During Meng Dehai's term of office
he did a lot of good deeds
for our Qinghua District.
Look, the foundation of the masses
is very good.
But I think
Does it look like
an eviction order?
Look, Xu.
We caught Tang Xiaolong.
No, we should say
even we catch 10,
20 Tang Xiaolong,
they wouldn't care.
Now that
Meng Dehai is in trouble,
they can't be calm anymore.
I think
they are not here to plead
for Meng Dehai.
They are here
for their future.
They were wrong this time.
No one can save them.
Leader Xu,
This is from the Public Complaints Office.
Have you sent the signature of Qinghua District?
Yes.
Why is there nothing happening
at the Reception Centre?
How about
we organise some people
and make some noise?
No, no.
We can't make it worse.
The most important thing now
is Gao Qiqiang.
You’d better figure out
what evidence he has.
If we mess with him now,
I'm afraid we'll all be losers.
Let him leave Jinghai.
Otherwise,
let him die in Jinghai.
[Daxiong Temple]
What wish did you make just now?
I asked the Buddha to make him
stop riding a motorcycle anymore.
He risks his life when riding motorcycle.
I'm afraid he might bump into a passerby.
What about you, Yao?
[Daxiong Temple]
Mr. Gao,
your donation money has been consistent
all these years.
You're really thoughtful.
Not really.
Lan.
Brother.
It's rare that
you come to the temple with me today.
Let's have dinner together.
Song.
Brother Qiang, you're here!
Let me introduce.
My son, Xiaochen.
Xiaochen.
It's been so many years.
You've grown up!
You
came with me once when you were young.
This is the boss, Uncle Song.
Uncle Song.
Xiaochen is looking good.
If you have time,
come here more often!
Brother Qiang,
what should we order today?
My son has the final say.
You follow Uncle Song
to his kitchen.
Take whatever you want.
-Okay, I'll take you there. -Go.
You guys
have a meal outside
and pick me up later.
Yes.
-Fried dumplings. -Fried dumplings are delicious.
Fried dumplings.
Eat more.
Fried dumplings.
Too much.
It's okay to hang out.
Sorry, guys.
Someone has this table booked.
Really?
It didn't write your name or the word "reservation".
I usually eat
at this restaurant.
This table is where
I usually sit.
Sorry.
We came here first.
You are alone.
We can share the table.
I'm not alone.
There are four or five of us.
Excuse me.
Can you find another table?
It's enough.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
He has booked
this table.
Who are you?
I'm the boss here.
Boss, please be reasonable.
We came first.
He's sitting there alone.
It's okay. We can sit together.
Sorry.
Mr. Gao,
is not used to sharing table with others.
So what if you're rich?
What do you want?
Excuse me.
How about this, boss?
What about this,
please arrange another table for them?
Anything the two of you eat
or drink
is on me, okay?
Help me.
I'm having dinner with my family.
I'm sorry.
Zhou, come here.
Forget it. Don't be upset.
Take them to the back.
I'm sorry. Let's go.
So what if you're rich?
I'm sorry.
[Hall of Humility and Harmony]
Let's go find his son.
Dad!
Let's go.
Make a call!
Uncle Hu, someone wants to kill my dad.
Hello, An Xin.
We are at Fu Lu Tea House.
My brother was assassinated. Come here!
Brother Qiang!
Brother Qiang! Brother Qiang!
How are you, Brother Qiang?
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Brother Qiang!
Paper. Paper. Uncle Song.
Brother Qiang! Brother Qiang! Help!
Help! Call an ambulance!
Call an ambulance!
Hurry up!
Hold on tight, Yao.
Hurry up!
Brother Qiang!
Are you alright, Brother Qiang?
Dad.
-Dad. -Brother Qiang.
Brother Qiang! Brother Qiang!
Brother Qiang!
-Brother! Brother! -Hurry!
Brother!
[Operating, keep quiet]
Nurse, how is my brother?
Nurse! My brother! Nurse!
Dad.
Why don't you take a rest?
We're here.
Who's his family?
-I am.-He's bleeding too much.
He has RH negative blood type O.
We don't have this blood type.
Which one of you matches his blood type?
None of us.
Think of a way.
Come in with me for a blood test.
Brother.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
We are all trustworthy brothers.
Just tell me if you need anything.
This is the hospital.
Let them go outside.
Go.
What is he doing there?
He's looking for trouble.
No, Uncle Hu.
Officer An saved my brother today.
You should thank him later.
You may leave now.
Thank you, Officer An.
I'll wait outside.
Are you Gao Xiaochen's family?
Yes.
Here are some personal information
to fill in.
I'll go with you.
Aunt, I'll fill in the information form.
I'll go with you.
It should be fine inside.
Why don't you go back and rest first?
Thank you.
Do you know who did it?
No.
You don't know or you don't want to tell me?
I don't know.
I just sat down.
There were
two brats
having a row with me.
We just quarreled for a bit and I got stabbed.
How could quarreling be so deadly?
How could quarreling lead to the attraction of that many people?
My colleagues are inspecting
the site.
They said it is a
designed route,
including the escape route.
All the cameras along the way
were destroyed.
So it was premeditated.
That means
they will come to you again next time.
Who am I?
I’m not afraid of them.
Whatever.
Let me give you an idea.
Turn yourself in?
The detention centre
can ensure your safety.
The detention centre also treats people.
As you said,
they came prepared.
They obviously wanted to kill me.
You should
find out
who ordered them
to pull out the root behind it.
The problem is if you dare or not.
An, let me ask you something.
I mean if.
If I were inside today,
if my blood type was suitable,
I mean if.
Only your blood type could save me,
Would I donate blood to you?
I will tell you when you go to the detention centre.
[Jinghai Public Security Bureau Command Center]
There is no information about these two suspects
in the household registration file
of the system.
They are most likely from Hong Kong.
According to
several witnesses,
the Cantonese of these two suspects
have a very strong Hong Kong accent.
At present,
Jiang Tian from Shahai Group
is the most suspicious.
Shahai and Qiangsheng
are business competitors.
Jiang Tian is hostile
to Gao Qiqiang,
even in public.
Jiang Tian's wife is from Hong Kong.
He has been traveling
between Hong Kong and Jinghai.
He has been closely connected with
the underworld society
in Hong Kong.
Think about Lu Han.
[Jinghai Public Security Bureau Command Center]
Think about Wang Li.
Use your brain.
Yes.
If the target wass Gao Qiqiang,
why was the person who got injured the most
is Gao Xiaochen?
There's something suspicious.
Let's report the information of these two suspects
to the Provincial Department.
Ask the Hong Kong police to help us.
Come in.
Boss.
It's a sensitive period.
Call me if anything happens.
Mr. Jiang, you know
it's a sensitive period.
Why did you do it without permission?
It's fine that you did it on your own,
but you failed.
Is it necessary
to cause such a mess?
I didn't send the people
who tried to kill Gao Qiqiang.
Have a seat.
Come on.
Thank you.
The killer came
from Hong Kong.
Then it's not me.
I came to Jinghai
because I offended the underworld
back then in Hong Kong.
Even if I was looking for a killer,
I wouldn't have looked from Hong Kong.
People would think it was me who did it.
Who do you think
who is capable of doing this?
If they really wanted to do it,
they wouldn’t have done it at
Gao Qiqiang's place.
He even used a knife. So stupid.
I should have known that
Gao Qiqiang was able to use
his brother’s life
for his own future.
An unrelated
son
is nothing.
But after what he did,
the police and the guidance team
will protect him.
It's even harder for us to do it.
Since we can't do it,
we can only sit down and talk.
Talk?
What should we do?
It's none of your business.
I'll arrange it.
Have some tea.
I'll keep an eye on him.
Brother.
Your stitches
haven't been removed yet.
You should rest more.
No problem.
I've asked the doctor.
It didn't hurt the vital part this time.
But you still need more rest.
So that your wound can recover quickly.
Go back and rest.
I'll take care of Xiaochen.
Brother.
I want to discuss something with you.
When Xiaochen recovers,
I want to leave Jinghai
with him and Yao.
Where to?
I want to take them abroad to hide.
Xiaochen is injured now.
I'm afraid Yao will be the next one.
Jinghai is not safe.
It's not safe anywhere.
It's the safest to stay with me.
Brother.
You should be careful too.
I suddenly miss your second brother.
If only Sheng were here.
Now we found out
there are two killers.
They came from Hong Kong to Jinghai
seven days ago.
What do you think?
Based on
what I know about
Gao Qiqiang.
Probably,
it should be
a self-directed and self-acted bitter trick by him.
The purpose is
to lead our investigation direction
to disturb
his competitors.
No one is capable of hurting his own children.
Gao Qi is really ruthless.
Maybe everyone has a different bottom line.
Plus this son
is not his biological son.
Do you think the next step should be
This case should be handed over
to the police.
We shouldn't be disturbed.
We continue our investigation.
Dismiss.
Alright.
Let's talk.
What's your opinion?
What do you think?
Tell me.
This place is great.
At least I don't have to worry
my personal safety.
Stop covering up your misdeeds by shifting the blame.
Make it clear.
I've sent someone to Hong Kong.
Those two killers
were paid for attacking people with a knife
instead of killing.
It must be you who hired them to act.
You psycho!
Jiang Tian.
When your family
being forced by a knife,
don't beg me.
Try it.
Okay.
Enough.
You're both cunning,
what's the point trying to talk about something empty?
Gao Qiqiang, you did all these just
to force us to meet, right?
Tell me what you think.
I have a suggestion.
Instead of getting rid of me,
why don't we work together
and think about how to get rid of the guidance team.
Screw your cooperation.
Cooperation?
Ask this friend of mine and see
if he agrees.
Take off your leg.
How can you do that?
Where is this?
Good guys.
One slaps the table and the other puts the leg on the table.
Why don't you just talk?
What are you doing?
You're making it like you are going to fight.
What situation are we in now?
Don't you know that
in your mind?
I mean
the officials have their own ways.
As for how to get rid of them,
it depends on you.
I'll listen to you.
It doesn't matter.
It's business.
[Xu Xing]
Thank you, sir.
Okay.
Son.
Mom.
You
What did you buy with such a big size?
Mom, I didn't buy it.
My dad bought it. Look.
Your dad bought it?
[Sender: Fang. Linjiang Province, Qinghua District, Jinghai City. Recipient: Xu Zhong]
What is it?
Open it.
Okay.
It's so big. Where should I put it?
Son.
Move to the balcony first.
Let your dad see later.
Okay.
Why is it so heavy? Slow down.
This is the report during the period of
[File bag]
education and rectification.
This is the reporting material just received by
the discipline and law reporting platform
and the political and legal police.
Please have a look.
That urgent?
Who was reported?
[He Liming] [Executive Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Linjiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China]
[Reporting the problem materials of Xu Zhong, the leader of the Jinghai City guidance team of Education and Rectification Station dispatched by the Provincial Party Committee]
[Bribes to local companies totaling 2.58 million yuan and a wooden carving of galloping horse worth 1.46 million yuan]
[Two sets of overseas real estate of more than 2.07 million yuan and one overseas winery of 3.02 million yuan]
What happened to your dad?
I don't know.
What
What's going on?
Hello?
Speaking.
Okay.
OK.
Hello, this is Xu Zhong.
Xu Zhong, withdraw now
and cooperate with the investigation.
What is it, sir?
Don't ask. Withdraw first.
This is the crucial moment.
I received a call from my boss today.
Someone reported you.
Don't worry.
The leader still trusts you
and the comrades of the Commission of Discipline Inspection.
So, come back quickly.
Please rest assured.
I will be there
before getting off work.
You
How can you still eat?
Of course I can.
If someone reported me now,
it means our work
has already touched each other's pain.
But our team leader
has also been plotted against.
The case that Wang Li was shot needs
to continue investigating.
We can't be disturbed.
Our work is at
this point.
Wanting you to go back for investigation
then you would do so?
What should we do next?
Just continue your works.
I'm just going back to help for investigation.
[Meeting Room]
Mayor Zhao,
We are from the Provincial Commission of Discipline Inspection.
I want to ask you about
comrade Xu Zhong taking bribes.
Leader Xu?
No way.
That day,
Xu Zhong returned my horse
back in public.
It made me lose face.
But two days later,
someone called me
and gave me an address and asked me
to send the horse to Xu Zhong’s home.
He also told me
not to send things
that obvious
in public.
What is the name of the person
that called you?
I don't know.
Is it a man or a woman?
A woman.
Do you have the call history?
Yes. I'll give it to you.
What's wrong, everyone?
Why aren't you working?
Leader Ji.
Who is framing us?
Leader Ji,
are we going to
recall everyone back?
Don't be emotional.
We need to go through the routine procedure.
As long as we get to the bottom of this,
there's no problem.
Xu will be back soon.
Let's get back to work.
Don't be emotional.
Work. Work.
An Xin.
At this time,
we mustn't be too aggressive.
We should believe that the organization
will give Xu
and our guidance team
a fair explanation.
Tell everyone
not to be emotional.
[Episode 36]
Yang Jian!
Yang Jian!
Yes!
I didn't forget those names.
But I feel sorry for them.
An Xin,
you’ve always been right.
Hang in there.
If there is a chance,
take care of Yu
and Dou.
I mean
if possible.
An Xin,
why don’t you
arrest me too?
So that our family
can reunite inside.
Yu.
Your mom is awake now.
Your burden is heavier.
Your mother and Dou
need your care afterwards.
You need to be strong.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
I'm sorry.
Don't cry.
My name is Meng Dehai.
I'm 61 years old.
I was the Director

the Secretary

I asked Yang Jian what to do.
Yang Jian told me it is fine.
He could handle it.
Yang Jian came to me
and gave me 100,000 yuan
and asked me for help.
He promised me
he'd give me another 100,000 yuan after it is done.
I didn't want the money.
but our friendship
for so many years.
So, I closed the case for them.
What's your connection

Why should I scold you?

Scold all your hatred.
I hate you so much,

I should hate you
I should hate you.
At that time,
you wanted to leave me

You were lying.
But I thought
Fine.
I must live a good life

I just sit here.
Right here.
Once, I wanted to
be calm
in this pavilion.
When I came here,
I saw someone

I walked closer and that person fell asleep.
I didn't expect it was you.
After that,
I met you here more than once.
Sometimes I often think, at that time,
if we
both of us
Let's not talk about this.
There are no ifs.
I came here today
just to tell you that
I'm leaving Jinghai.
Where are you going?
Beijing.
The doctor said my mom
needs to go
to a big hospital in Beijing.
Are you leaving tomorrow?
What time is your flight? I'll give you a ride.
No, thanks.
I've arranged everything.
Take this with you.
What is this?
Money.
You are poor.
Your mum needs to see a doctor.
You have to take care of the child.
You need money to spend on food and living,
just money is needed everywhere.
II can't spend it alone.
Take it.
You only gave me a card
without telling me the password.
Are you sincere?
Your birthday.
No need.
Take it. I have money.
I really have money.
I don't need your money.
I'm here today
to say goodbye to you wisely.
Okay.
Keep up being a good police
in Jinghai.
Take care of yourself.
Be safe.
These are the questions explained by Yang Jian
and the relevant personnel
of Electric Power Industrial Company.
The people involved
and the leading cadres
behind them
are 67 people in total.
All of them are here.
How many of them are related to Gao Qiqiang?
All here.
That’s all?
Gao Qiqiang barely showed up.
We can’t find the evidences which show
that he was direcly involved.
Wang Li’s case is key.
As long as we find out
the person who shot him,
Gao Qiqiang will not be able to
get away with it.
I totally agree.
This is the focus
of the special investigation team.
Come in.
Leader,
the people in Qinghua District
signed a petition.
[Petition]
[I'm the representative of Qinghua District, Jinghai City. Director Meng Dehai has been working for so long]
Ji, look.
This is
The Federation of Trade Unions, the Association,
the village committee, subdistrict,
the residents committee.
They've got everything they can.
But it is the people that signed it.
I'm afraid
is someone behind it.
During Meng Dehai's term of office
he did a lot of good deeds
for our Qinghua District.
Look, the foundation of the masses
is very good.
But I think
Does it look like
an eviction order?
Look, Xu.
We caught Tang Xiaolong.
No, we should say
even we catch 10,
20 Tang Xiaolong,
they wouldn't care.
Now that
Meng Dehai is in trouble,
they can't be calm anymore.
I think
they are not here to plead
for Meng Dehai.
They are here
for their future.
They were wrong this time.
No one can save them.
Leader Xu,
This is from the Public Complaints Office.
Have you sent the signature of Qinghua District?
Yes.
Why is there nothing happening
at the Reception Centre?
How about
we organise some people
and make some noise?
No, no.
We can't make it worse.
The most important thing now
is Gao Qiqiang.
You’d better figure out
what evidence he has.
If we mess with him now,
I'm afraid we'll all be losers.
Let him leave Jinghai.
Otherwise,
let him die in Jinghai.
[Daxiong Temple]
What wish did you make just now?
I asked the Buddha to make him
stop riding a motorcycle anymore.
He risks his life when riding motorcycle.
I'm afraid he might bump into a passerby.
What about you, Yao?
[Daxiong Temple]
Mr. Gao,
your donation money has been consistent
all these years.
You're really thoughtful.
Not really.
Lan.
Brother.
It's rare that
you come to the temple with me today.
Let's have dinner together.
Song.
Brother Qiang, you're here!
Let me introduce.
My son, Xiaochen.
Xiaochen.
It's been so many years.
You've grown up!
You
came with me once when you were young.
This is the boss, Uncle Song.
Uncle Song.
Xiaochen is looking good.
If you have time,
come here more often!
Brother Qiang,
what should we order today?
My son has the final say.
You follow Uncle Song
to his kitchen.
Take whatever you want.
-Okay, I'll take you there. -Go.
You guys
have a meal outside
and pick me up later.
Yes.
-Fried dumplings. -Fried dumplings are delicious.
Fried dumplings.
Eat more.
Fried dumplings.
Too much.
It's okay to hang out.
Sorry, guys.
Someone has this table booked.
Really?
It didn't write your name or the word "reservation".
I usually eat
at this restaurant.
This table is where
I usually sit.
Sorry.
We came here first.
You are alone.
We can share the table.
I'm not alone.
There are four or five of us.
Excuse me.
Can you find another table?
It's enough.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
He has booked
this table.
Who are you?
I'm the boss here.
Boss, please be reasonable.
We came first.
He's sitting there alone.
It's okay. We can sit together.
Sorry.
Mr. Gao,
is not used to sharing table with others.
So what if you're rich?
What do you want?
Excuse me.
How about this, boss?
What about this,
please arrange another table for them?
Anything the two of you eat
or drink
is on me, okay?
Help me.
I'm having dinner with my family.
I'm sorry.
Zhou, come here.
Forget it. Don't be upset.
Take them to the back.
I'm sorry. Let's go.
So what if you're rich?
I'm sorry.
[Hall of Humility and Harmony]
Let's go find his son.
Dad!
Let's go.
Make a call!
Uncle Hu, someone wants to kill my dad.
Hello, An Xin.
We are at Fu Lu Tea House.
My brother was assassinated. Come here!
Brother Qiang!
Brother Qiang! Brother Qiang!
How are you, Brother Qiang?
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Brother Qiang!
Paper. Paper. Uncle Song.
Brother Qiang! Brother Qiang! Help!
Help! Call an ambulance!
Call an ambulance!
Hurry up!
Hold on tight, Yao.
Hurry up!
Brother Qiang!
Are you alright, Brother Qiang?
Dad.
-Dad. -Brother Qiang.
Brother Qiang! Brother Qiang!
Brother Qiang!
-Brother! Brother! -Hurry!
Brother!
[Operating, keep quiet]
Nurse, how is my brother?
Nurse! My brother! Nurse!
Dad.
Why don't you take a rest?
We're here.
Who's his family?
-I am.-He's bleeding too much.
He has RH negative blood type O.
We don't have this blood type.
Which one of you matches his blood type?
None of us.
Think of a way.
Come in with me for a blood test.
Brother.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
We are all trustworthy brothers.
Just tell me if you need anything.
This is the hospital.
Let them go outside.
Go.
What is he doing there?
He's looking for trouble.
No, Uncle Hu.
Officer An saved my brother today.
You should thank him later.
You may leave now.
Thank you, Officer An.
I'll wait outside.
Are you Gao Xiaochen's family?
Yes.
Here are some personal information
to fill in.
I'll go with you.
Aunt, I'll fill in the information form.
I'll go with you.
It should be fine inside.
Why don't you go back and rest first?
Thank you.
Do you know who did it?
No.
You don't know or you don't want to tell me?
I don't know.
I just sat down.
There were
two brats
having a row with me.
We just quarreled for a bit and I got stabbed.
How could quarreling be so deadly?
How could quarreling lead to the attraction of that many people?
My colleagues are inspecting
the site.
They said it is a
designed route,
including the escape route.
All the cameras along the way
were destroyed.
So it was premeditated.
That means
they will come to you again next time.
Who am I?
I’m not afraid of them.
Whatever.
Let me give you an idea.
Turn yourself in?
The detention centre
can ensure your safety.
The detention centre also treats people.
As you said,
they came prepared.
They obviously wanted to kill me.
You should
find out
who ordered them
to pull out the root behind it.
The problem is if you dare or not.
An, let me ask you something.
I mean if.
If I were inside today,
if my blood type was suitable,
I mean if.
Only your blood type could save me,
Would I donate blood to you?
I will tell you when you go to the detention centre.
[Jinghai Public Security Bureau Command Center]
There is no information about these two suspects
in the household registration file
of the system.
They are most likely from Hong Kong.
According to
several witnesses,
the Cantonese of these two suspects
have a very strong Hong Kong accent.
At present,
Jiang Tian from Shahai Group
is the most suspicious.
Shahai and Qiangsheng
are business competitors.
Jiang Tian is hostile
to Gao Qiqiang,
even in public.
Jiang Tian's wife is from Hong Kong.
He has been traveling
between Hong Kong and Jinghai.
He has been closely connected with
the underworld society
in Hong Kong.
Think about Lu Han.
[Jinghai Public Security Bureau Command Center]
Think about Wang Li.
Use your brain.
Yes.
If the target wass Gao Qiqiang,
why was the person who got injured the most
is Gao Xiaochen?
There's something suspicious.
Let's report the information of these two suspects
to the Provincial Department.
Ask the Hong Kong police to help us.
Come in.
Boss.
It's a sensitive period.
Call me if anything happens.
Mr. Jiang, you know
it's a sensitive period.
Why did you do it without permission?
It's fine that you did it on your own,
but you failed.
Is it necessary
to cause such a mess?
I didn't send the people
who tried to kill Gao Qiqiang.
Have a seat.
Come on.
Thank you.
The killer came
from Hong Kong.
Then it's not me.
I came to Jinghai
because I offended the underworld
back then in Hong Kong.
Even if I was looking for a killer,
I wouldn't have looked from Hong Kong.
People would think it was me who did it.
Who do you think
who is capable of doing this?
If they really wanted to do it,
they wouldn’t have done it at
Gao Qiqiang's place.
He even used a knife. So stupid.
I should have known that
Gao Qiqiang was able to use
his brother’s life
for his own future.
An unrelated
son
is nothing.
But after what he did,
the police and the guidance team
will protect him.
It's even harder for us to do it.
Since we can't do it,
we can only sit down and talk.
Talk?
What should we do?
It's none of your business.
I'll arrange it.
Have some tea.
I'll keep an eye on him.
Brother.
Your stitches
haven't been removed yet.
You should rest more.
No problem.
I've asked the doctor.
It didn't hurt the vital part this time.
But you still need more rest.
So that your wound can recover quickly.
Go back and rest.
I'll take care of Xiaochen.
Brother.
I want to discuss something with you.
When Xiaochen recovers,
I want to leave Jinghai
with him and Yao.
Where to?
I want to take them abroad to hide.
Xiaochen is injured now.
I'm afraid Yao will be the next one.
Jinghai is not safe.
It's not safe anywhere.
It's the safest to stay with me.
Brother.
You should be careful too.
I suddenly miss your second brother.
If only Sheng were here.
Now we found out
there are two killers.
They came from Hong Kong to Jinghai
seven days ago.
What do you think?
Based on
what I know about
Gao Qiqiang.
Probably,
it should be
a self-directed and self-acted bitter trick by him.
The purpose is
to lead our investigation direction
to disturb
his competitors.
No one is capable of hurting his own children.
Gao Qi is really ruthless.
Maybe everyone has a different bottom line.
Plus this son
is not his biological son.
Do you think the next step should be
This case should be handed over
to the police.
We shouldn't be disturbed.
We continue our investigation.
Dismiss.
Alright.
Let's talk.
What's your opinion?
What do you think?
Tell me.
This place is great.
At least I don't have to worry
my personal safety.
Stop covering up your misdeeds by shifting the blame.
Make it clear.
I've sent someone to Hong Kong.
Those two killers
were paid for attacking people with a knife
instead of killing.
It must be you who hired them to act.
You psycho!
Jiang Tian.
When your family
being forced by a knife,
don't beg me.
Try it.
Okay.
Enough.
You're both cunning,
what's the point trying to talk about something empty?
Gao Qiqiang, you did all these just
to force us to meet, right?
Tell me what you think.
I have a suggestion.
Instead of getting rid of me,
why don't we work together
and think about how to get rid of the guidance team.
Screw your cooperation.
Cooperation?
Ask this friend of mine and see
if he agrees.
Take off your leg.
How can you do that?
Where is this?
Good guys.
One slaps the table and the other puts the leg on the table.
Why don't you just talk?
What are you doing?
You're making it like you are going to fight.
What situation are we in now?
Don't you know that
in your mind?
I mean
the officials have their own ways.
As for how to get rid of them,
it depends on you.
I'll listen to you.
It doesn't matter.
It's business.
[Xu Xing]
Thank you, sir.
Okay.
Son.
Mom.
You
What did you buy with such a big size?
Mom, I didn't buy it.
My dad bought it. Look.
Your dad bought it?
[Sender: Fang. Linjiang Province, Qinghua District, Jinghai City. Recipient: Xu Zhong]
What is it?
Open it.
Okay.
It's so big. Where should I put it?
Son.
Move to the balcony first.
Let your dad see later.
Okay.
Why is it so heavy? Slow down.
This is the report during the period of
[File bag]
education and rectification.
This is the reporting material just received by
the discipline and law reporting platform
and the political and legal police.
Please have a look.
That urgent?
Who was reported?
[He Liming] [Executive Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Linjiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China]
[Reporting the problem materials of Xu Zhong, the leader of the Jinghai City guidance team of Education and Rectification Station dispatched by the Provincial Party Committee]
[Bribes to local companies totaling 2.58 million yuan and a wooden carving of galloping horse worth 1.46 million yuan]
[Two sets of overseas real estate of more than 2.07 million yuan and one overseas winery of 3.02 million yuan]
What happened to your dad?
I don't know.
What
What's going on?
Hello?
Speaking.
Okay.
OK.
Hello, this is Xu Zhong.
Xu Zhong, withdraw now
and cooperate with the investigation.
What is it, sir?
Don't ask. Withdraw first.
This is the crucial moment.
I received a call from my boss today.
Someone reported you.
Don't worry.
The leader still trusts you
and the comrades of the Commission of Discipline Inspection.
So, come back quickly.
Please rest assured.
I will be there
before getting off work.
You
How can you still eat?
Of course I can.
If someone reported me now,
it means our work
has already touched each other's pain.
But our team leader
has also been plotted against.
The case that Wang Li was shot needs
to continue investigating.
We can't be disturbed.
Our work is at
this point.
Wanting you to go back for investigation
then you would do so?
What should we do next?
Just continue your works.
I'm just going back to help for investigation.
[Meeting Room]
Mayor Zhao,
We are from the Provincial Commission of Discipline Inspection.
I want to ask you about
comrade Xu Zhong taking bribes.
Leader Xu?
No way.
That day,
Xu Zhong returned my horse
back in public.
It made me lose face.
But two days later,
someone called me
and gave me an address and asked me
to send the horse to Xu Zhong’s home.
He also told me
not to send things
that obvious
in public.
What is the name of the person
that called you?
I don't know.
Is it a man or a woman?
A woman.
Do you have the call history?
Yes. I'll give it to you.
What's wrong, everyone?
Why aren't you working?
Leader Ji.
Who is framing us?
Leader Ji,
are we going to
recall everyone back?
Don't be emotional.
We need to go through the routine procedure.
As long as we get to the bottom of this,
there's no problem.
Xu will be back soon.
Let's get back to work.
Don't be emotional.
Work. Work.
An Xin.
At this time,
we mustn't be too aggressive.
We should believe that the organization
will give Xu
and our guidance team
a fair explanation.
Tell everyone
not to be emotional.
