Episode 39
[The Knockout]
[Episode 39]
Sir, in my opinion,
a father has spent
over a dozen of years
searching for
his lost son.
Maybe his son
died in the line of duty
as he was buried under the highway.
I don't think anything is
more important than this.
Xu Zhong.
I was the one
who promoted you.
Yes.
Thank you for your guidance.
But I think
at this point,
there's no leeway.
Let me tell you.
I forbid you to dig the highway
unless I get fired.
But
Sir.
The Report Center
just received some image information
from the Internet.
Look.
This is the contact information
of the underground bank.
Did you find the source of the information?
Yes.
It's in an office building
that belongs to Qiangsheng Group.
Take action.
Yes.
Don't move!
Hands on your head!
Get down!
Hands on your head! Get down!
-Get down! Hands on your head! -Get down!
Are you the manager?
Who owns this underground bank?
Give me your client information.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Cut the crap.
I can recover everything.
You helped Qiangsheng Group
transfer assets overseas.
Are you going to tell us yourself
or wait for us to investigate it?
Song Zhifei from Qiangsheng Group
asked us to do it.
[CFO]
Mr. Song, what are you doing?
Yao.
Your dad
asked me to give something to him.
Just give it to me.
My dad asked me to come.
But
it's very important.
I'd better
give it to him myself.
The underground bank
in Haiyun Building was just investigated.
They should be able to
trace this place soon.
If I'm not mistaken,
the real ledgers
of Qiangsheng Group
and costs to maintain
the government relationship
are in there.
Mr. Song,
are you using these
to save your life
at the critical moment?
Yes.
No, no, that
Yao, listen to me.
The special investigation team
talked to me once.
They told me to turn myself in.
But I refused.
I refused.
I have nothing to do
with the underground bank.
Don't be scared.
My dad said he really understood
how it felt
when his life was controlled by others.
It's miserable.
Yes.
Yes. Yes.
Yao.
Yao, listen
Listen to me.
I've been working for your dad for so many years.
He should believe me.
I really didn't tell anything
to the special investigation team.
And your dad should know me well.
I
I only love money.
I love nothing else.
Yao, I can only earn money
when I work for him.
-Uncle Song. -Please help me.
Please help me. I know.
I know.
Please get up.
What are you doing?
Get up. Have a seat.
I'm too flattered.
My dad just asked me
to get the company ledgers.
I won't do anything to you.
Wait.
Yao. Yao.
They are all here.
No backups?
No backups.
Uncle Song, my dad said
I should trust others.
Thank you, Uncle Song.
Big news for you.
Secretary An asked me
to report to you in person.
What's going on?
Gao Xiaochen
confessed everything,
and is willing to
testify against Gao Qiqiang.
Great.
This is
big progress.
Yes.
With Gao Xiaochen's testimony,
and the evidence
from the underground bank,
I think we can arrest them all.
How's the preparation going?
All suspects
are under our control.
We can act at any time.
Okay, we have to catch them all at once.
Hello?
Dad
Song Zhifei took the company ledgers
and wanted to flee.
I stopped him.
Where are the ledgers?
I have them now.
Butbut my car
stopped working.
I'm too afraid to call a taxi. What should I do?
I think he's still looking for me.
Yao, don't panic.
Where are you now?
I'm at the cafe on the first floor of the company.
I'm very scared.
Okay.
Stay there.
I'll be right there.
Okay, hurry.
Hello.
Is it Officer An Xin?
This is An Xin.
Who are you?
I'm Huang Yao.
Mo's daughter.
I have
the evidence that you want the most.
I want to give it to you.
The cafe on the first floor of Qiangsheng Group.
What is it?
The real ledgers of Qiangsheng Group,
and
Gao Qiqiang in person.
Officer An.
Please hurry.
I only have ten minutes.
Young man, I want to ask you.
Hello.
Did you see a girl
having a cup of coffee here?
She's not tall
with big eyes.
She left.
When did she leave?
About ten minutes ago.
She left with a man.
What did he look like?
He's strong
and tall.
I don't remember anything else.
Okay.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Yao, I've arrived.
Where are you?
I'm Jiang Tian's ghost.
What do you want?
If you want to see your daughter,
come to the rooftop.
Remember.
Come alone.
Don't call the police.
Okay.
Don't do anything crazy.
Who are you?
Where is my daughter?
I'm Jiang Tian's best friend.
You set him up so you must die.
Brother.
Let my daughter go.
How much do you want? I'll give it to you.
Does it hurt
to see your family being kidnapped?
Then I'll make it more painful.
I killed your wife too.
I'm going to fix you back home.
Shanfeng,
the Gao family has left.
Take action now.
I'll give you two choices.
One is to jump down from here
like Jiang Tian did.
The other is to let her jump.
Don't! I'm sorry.
-I've made a mistake. -A mistake?
I'm sorry.
It's too late.
Are you going to jump?
Brother.
Don't. Don't.
I
No!
Brother, let my daughter go first!
We'll discuss about it, okay?
Don't move!
Don't move!
An Xin, save my daughter.
No one will jump.
Get down.
Don't move!
Put down the knife!
Huang Yao.
Don't be scared.
Put down the knife!
Put it down!
Yao, I'm here.
Go!
Dad!
Dad! Dad!
Dad! Dad!
[Fire Door]
Are you okay?
Where's my daughter?
She's okay.
Don't worry. Huang Yao is fine.
Dad.
Yao! Yao!
Dad!
Yao.
It's okay.
Let's go home.
Why did you save me?
Why?
Because you're my daughter.
What do you want me to do now?
What's wrong, Yao?
I'm exhausted.
Officer An.
I want to report.
This is all the evidence
of Gao Qiqiang's criminal records.
Take Huang Yao away.
No need.
He can't run away anymore.
I still remember
the first time I saw you,
you didn't have that much grey hair.
You smiled a lot.
I was timid.
I was afraid of strangers.
But you approached me and smiled.
I wasn't scared anymore.
You told me
my mom went somewhere far away.
My dad worked hard.
Later I found out
lies
could also be heartwarming.
My dad said
he only trusted two people in this world.
One is Gao Qiqiang,
and the other is An Xin.
But the person he trusted the most
killed him.
I wanted to save him.
Gao Qiqiang is the one who killed him.
Tang Xiaolong.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Why do you want our IDs?
Are you locking us up as hostages?
It's to protect your safety.
Safety?
Mo is safe now.
Mo is safe in the morgue.
When we end up like that,
we'll be safe, right?
Brother Qiang said
Mo was meant to do this.
They are all chess pieces.
He's dead and that's it.
Your safety is very important.
I'll say it again.
Don't make things difficult for me.
Give me your ID.
From that day on,
I know that in this world,
I had no family.
I could only save myself.
I pretended to be obedient
and listen to Gao Qiqiang.
But I hated him every day.
Why didn't you come to me?
I will help you.
Gao Qiqiang took away
my only family.
I must avenge myself.
But kid,
do you know
what your cost is?
I know.
I accept it.
Right.
Wang.
Sir.
The guidance team froze
all bank accounts
related to Qiangsheng Group.
Mine's in there too.
It's not under my name,
but
it won't take long
before they know about it.
Wang.
You can leave.
What about you?
The night in Jinghai is beautiful.
It used to be shabby 20 years ago.
Who would have thought
Jinghai can be like this?
I've been working here all my life.
I have deep roots.
I can't leave.
It's not too late.
You should leave now.
Sir.
Wang.
Leave.
Take him away.
Follow me. Let's go.
Can I
walk on my own?
Mr. Xu.
Mr. Ji.
You're still working.
I have a lot of responsibility.
I'm used to it.
You came at the right time.
Great.
I need your advice.
Look.
Jinghai is developing
so fast.
There's not much space left
in the city.
I plan to develop the west.
In this way,
there's great potential for development.
I plan to build two roads.
The intersection is
at the Pingkang Reservoir.
Great.
Really.
But there's not enough time.
The comrades from the Provincial Commission of Discipline Inspection
are here.
Zhao Lidong.
We are from the Provincial Commission of Discipline Inspection.
Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation.
After the meeting of
the Provincial Party Committee,
[Public Security]
the guidance team of education and rectification
gained approval
on the proposal
to excavate
the S108 highway in Qinghua District.
[Construction ahead. Please detour.]
The guidance team
and other departments in Jinghai City
are requested to look for Tan Siyan
at all costs.
Jiang Tian told me to kill them.
Where are the bodies?
[Jinghai City First Detention Center]
In a metal bucket
sealed with cement.
A sand mining ship
excavated a riverbed pit,
and the bucket was placed inside.
The pit was automatically filled.
As Tan Siyan, Lu Han
and Wang Li's remains were discovered,
the last piece of puzzle
of the gang crime of Qiangsheng Group
has been solved now.
This is the victory of the people.
It also represents the victory
of Jinghai's political and legal team
led by An Xin and An Changlin.
It is because they
sticked to the bottom line
and fought against organized crime
and corruption
to win the final victory.
Gao Qiqiang as the organizer
and leader,
Tang Xiaolong, Tang Xiaohu,
and Song Zhifei
as the core members
of an organized crime gang
[Judge Presiding Judge]
used the government officials'
harboring and conniving
to coordinate organized crime
by means of violence and threats,
including intentional murder and assault,
kidnapping, arson, provocation,
iIllegal management, forced trade,
organizing prostitution, opening casinos,
bribery and other illegal activities,
[Criminal Judgement]
which has seriously disrupted the order
of economic and social life in Jinghai.
The defendants' criminal facts
accused by the public prosecutors
are clear.
The evidence is sufficient.
The charge is established.
The sentence is appropriate.
The court supports the judgement.

[Jinghai Compulsory Rehab Center Jinghai First Detention Center]
How is it?
Are you okay in there?
It's getting cold.
Add a sweater for yourself.
I visited Huang Yao and Xiaochen.
They're doing fine.
They must hate me.
I heard you refused any visits.
Lan came to see me two days ago.
She kept crying.
Her schedule to Africa has been set.
She asked me to tell you that.
She added
that her brother liked dumplings.
She asked me to prepare this for you.
An Xin.
Over the past 20 years,
the best dumplings I tried
were the ones in 2000.
When I got arrested at the police station,
you gave me the dumplings.
Mr. Xu, our leader,
suddenly asked me,
if I were to go back for 20 years,
would I still
give dumplings to Gao Qiqiang?
I told him
I would never do that.
You would.
Yes.
I would.
Who knew what would happen
after 20 years?
I've been thinking these days.
20 years ago,
at the market in the Old Factory Street,
when Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu
asked me
to teach Xu Lei a lesson,
what if I didn't say yes?
What would my life
be like?
If I were still the Gao Qiqiang
who sold fish in the Old Factory Street,
An Xin,
would you treat me as a friend?
There are no ifs.
Officer An.
Happy New Year.
Gao Qiqiang.
It's time.
Time to go.
Why are you still here?
I need to work overtime.
Do you also know
that you walk very slowly?
Are you afraid that it's time to work
before you get home?
There's nothing to do at home.
Your hand
is shaking a lot recently.
I learned some massage.
Can I give you a massage?
It hasn't been cured for 20 years.
The massage will be no use.
Let me try.
Wu,
I haven't asked you all these years.
You're not young.
Why don't you get married?
You aren't a young lady anymore.
In life,
you shouldn't be too picky.
Just make do with it.
I won't.
Comrade He Liming,
is there anything you want to add
about your relationship with Zhao Lidong?
You prevented
the excavation of the highway in Qinghua District,
disrupting the work of
the guidance team of education and rectification.
I certainly
have no selfish motive.
I was really blinded by them.
All I was thinking about was
the image of city construction and government.
I didn't mean
to protect Zhao Lidong.
How many times
have we talked about it?
Three times.
To cure the illness and save the patients.
This was Xu Zhong's purpose in Jinghai.
And it's also our purpose
to visit Linjiang.
We'll stay in Linjiang
for a while.
If you remember anything,
come to us anytime.
OK.
Director He.
When did you come back?
Just now.
Then why aren't you going home?
In all sense,
I should report to you first.
The case in Jinghai is not closed yet.
You came back in such a hurry.
Did anyone
from the Central Committee talk to you?
Yes.
We'll have a meeting tomorrow.
Well done
on the case in Jinghai.
They won't give you a hard time.
Just answer whatever they ask you.
Then
how should I answer this?
Are you willing to show mercy?
I was promoted
by you.
You taught me
a lot of things.
Can I
just retire
peacefully?
It has been 20 years.
Many innocent people have died.
We can't cover up
the secret in Jinghai.
Got it.
The Discipline Inspection Commission
investigated and filed a case
on the severe violation of the law
by He Liming, the former deputy secretary of
the commission for political and legal affairs
of Linjiang Province.
He Liming violated eight-point decision
on improving Party and government conduct,
accepting banquet invites that may obstruct
carrying out official duties fairly,
gaining benefits for others
in senior promotions,
taking advantage of his position
to harbor others' crimes,
illegal intervening and preventing
judicial activities, and
illegally accepting large amount of money.
The decision is
to expel him from CPC,
dismiss him from public office,
transfer him to the Procuratorial Organization,
and prosecute him according to the law.
Meng Dehai violated the Party discipline,
taking advantage of his position to benefit his friends and relatives.
But considering that he took the initiative to report himself,
after a discussion of the Committee of Discipline Inspection of Linjiang Province,
and the request of approval of Linjiang Provincial Commission,
the decision is to give Meng Dehai
a one year probation in the Party.
Linjiang Provincial Supervisory Committee
decided to demote his ranking
to level one chief member
and begin his retirement procedures.
The defendant, Zhao Lidong,
has committed harboring, conniving,
organizing organized crime,
intentional murder,
abuse of power.
[Intermediate People's Court Criminal Judgment]
embezzlement, bribery,
unexplained source of huge amount of property.
The decision is to execute the death penalty,
deprive of political rights for life,
and confiscate all of his property.
The defendant, Yang Jian
committed
organizing organized crime,
bribery,
illegal possession of gun and ammunition.
You will be sentenced to 15 years in prison,
be deprived of political rights for three years,
and penalized a fine of 2 million yuan.
Qiangsheng Group that has been rooted
in Jinghai for a dozen years,
and its protective umbrellas
were totally eliminated.
The people of Jinghai
are living in a fairer
and more orderly social environment.
The long-term peace is no longer a slogan,
but what Jinghai is now.
Don't you have anything to say?
I have too much to say.
Over the years,
I've basically said it all.
No need.
Do you feel better now?
When Jinghai doesn't need me anymore,
I'll feel better.
That world
only exists in imagination.
In real life,
the people always need us.
Our team
will regularize education and rectification,
and crackdown on crime gangs in the future.
Such an important task.
It's not easy.
There won't be
such big cases in Jinghai
anymore in the future, right?
Whether it's a big or a small,
I don't think we have the final say.
It's up to the people in Jinghai.
We must eliminate the evil origin.
Only when we carry out a crackdown
monthly and annually,
the people will live a happy
and peaceful life.
[Episode 39]
Sir, in my opinion,
a father has spent
over a dozen of years
searching for
his lost son.
Maybe his son
died in the line of duty
as he was buried under the highway.
I don't think anything is
more important than this.
Xu Zhong.
I was the one
who promoted you.
Yes.
Thank you for your guidance.
But I think
at this point,
there's no leeway.
Let me tell you.
I forbid you to dig the highway
unless I get fired.
But
Sir.
The Report Center
just received some image information
from the Internet.
Look.
This is the contact information
of the underground bank.
Did you find the source of the information?
Yes.
It's in an office building
that belongs to Qiangsheng Group.
Take action.
Yes.
Don't move!
Hands on your head!
Get down!
Hands on your head! Get down!
-Get down! Hands on your head! -Get down!
Are you the manager?
Who owns this underground bank?
Give me your client information.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Cut the crap.
I can recover everything.
You helped Qiangsheng Group
transfer assets overseas.
Are you going to tell us yourself
or wait for us to investigate it?
Song Zhifei from Qiangsheng Group
asked us to do it.
[CFO]
Mr. Song, what are you doing?
Yao.
Your dad
asked me to give something to him.
Just give it to me.
My dad asked me to come.
But
it's very important.
I'd better
give it to him myself.
The underground bank
in Haiyun Building was just investigated.
They should be able to
trace this place soon.
If I'm not mistaken,
the real ledgers
of Qiangsheng Group
and costs to maintain
the government relationship
are in there.
Mr. Song,
are you using these
to save your life
at the critical moment?
Yes.
No, no, that
Yao, listen to me.
The special investigation team
talked to me once.
They told me to turn myself in.
But I refused.
I refused.
I have nothing to do
with the underground bank.
Don't be scared.
My dad said he really understood
how it felt
when his life was controlled by others.
It's miserable.
Yes.
Yes. Yes.
Yao.
Yao, listen
Listen to me.
I've been working for your dad for so many years.
He should believe me.
I really didn't tell anything
to the special investigation team.
And your dad should know me well.
I
I only love money.
I love nothing else.
Yao, I can only earn money
when I work for him.
-Uncle Song. -Please help me.
Please help me. I know.
I know.
Please get up.
What are you doing?
Get up. Have a seat.
I'm too flattered.
My dad just asked me
to get the company ledgers.
I won't do anything to you.
Wait.
Yao. Yao.
They are all here.
No backups?
No backups.
Uncle Song, my dad said
I should trust others.
Thank you, Uncle Song.
Big news for you.
Secretary An asked me
to report to you in person.
What's going on?
Gao Xiaochen
confessed everything,
and is willing to
testify against Gao Qiqiang.
Great.
This is
big progress.
Yes.
With Gao Xiaochen's testimony,
and the evidence
from the underground bank,
I think we can arrest them all.
How's the preparation going?
All suspects
are under our control.
We can act at any time.
Okay, we have to catch them all at once.
Hello?
Dad
Song Zhifei took the company ledgers
and wanted to flee.
I stopped him.
Where are the ledgers?
I have them now.
Butbut my car
stopped working.
I'm too afraid to call a taxi. What should I do?
I think he's still looking for me.
Yao, don't panic.
Where are you now?
I'm at the cafe on the first floor of the company.
I'm very scared.
Okay.
Stay there.
I'll be right there.
Okay, hurry.
Hello.
Is it Officer An Xin?
This is An Xin.
Who are you?
I'm Huang Yao.
Mo's daughter.
I have
the evidence that you want the most.
I want to give it to you.
The cafe on the first floor of Qiangsheng Group.
What is it?
The real ledgers of Qiangsheng Group,
and
Gao Qiqiang in person.
Officer An.
Please hurry.
I only have ten minutes.
Young man, I want to ask you.
Hello.
Did you see a girl
having a cup of coffee here?
She's not tall
with big eyes.
She left.
When did she leave?
About ten minutes ago.
She left with a man.
What did he look like?
He's strong
and tall.
I don't remember anything else.
Okay.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Yao, I've arrived.
Where are you?
I'm Jiang Tian's ghost.
What do you want?
If you want to see your daughter,
come to the rooftop.
Remember.
Come alone.
Don't call the police.
Okay.
Don't do anything crazy.
Who are you?
Where is my daughter?
I'm Jiang Tian's best friend.
You set him up so you must die.
Brother.
Let my daughter go.
How much do you want? I'll give it to you.
Does it hurt
to see your family being kidnapped?
Then I'll make it more painful.
I killed your wife too.
I'm going to fix you back home.
Shanfeng,
the Gao family has left.
Take action now.
I'll give you two choices.
One is to jump down from here
like Jiang Tian did.
The other is to let her jump.
Don't! I'm sorry.
-I've made a mistake. -A mistake?
I'm sorry.
It's too late.
Are you going to jump?
Brother.
Don't. Don't.
I
No!
Brother, let my daughter go first!
We'll discuss about it, okay?
Don't move!
Don't move!
An Xin, save my daughter.
No one will jump.
Get down.
Don't move!
Put down the knife!
Huang Yao.
Don't be scared.
Put down the knife!
Put it down!
Yao, I'm here.
Go!
Dad!
Dad! Dad!
Dad! Dad!
[Fire Door]
Are you okay?
Where's my daughter?
She's okay.
Don't worry. Huang Yao is fine.
Dad.
Yao! Yao!
Dad!
Yao.
It's okay.
Let's go home.
Why did you save me?
Why?
Because you're my daughter.
What do you want me to do now?
What's wrong, Yao?
I'm exhausted.
Officer An.
I want to report.
This is all the evidence
of Gao Qiqiang's criminal records.
Take Huang Yao away.
No need.
He can't run away anymore.
I still remember
the first time I saw you,
you didn't have that much grey hair.
You smiled a lot.
I was timid.
I was afraid of strangers.
But you approached me and smiled.
I wasn't scared anymore.
You told me
my mom went somewhere far away.
My dad worked hard.
Later I found out
lies
could also be heartwarming.
My dad said
he only trusted two people in this world.
One is Gao Qiqiang,
and the other is An Xin.
But the person he trusted the most
killed him.
I wanted to save him.
Gao Qiqiang is the one who killed him.
Tang Xiaolong.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Why do you want our IDs?
Are you locking us up as hostages?
It's to protect your safety.
Safety?
Mo is safe now.
Mo is safe in the morgue.
When we end up like that,
we'll be safe, right?
Brother Qiang said
Mo was meant to do this.
They are all chess pieces.
He's dead and that's it.
Your safety is very important.
I'll say it again.
Don't make things difficult for me.
Give me your ID.
From that day on,
I know that in this world,
I had no family.
I could only save myself.
I pretended to be obedient
and listen to Gao Qiqiang.
But I hated him every day.
Why didn't you come to me?
I will help you.
Gao Qiqiang took away
my only family.
I must avenge myself.
But kid,
do you know
what your cost is?
I know.
I accept it.
Right.
Wang.
Sir.
The guidance team froze
all bank accounts
related to Qiangsheng Group.
Mine's in there too.
It's not under my name,
but
it won't take long
before they know about it.
Wang.
You can leave.
What about you?
The night in Jinghai is beautiful.
It used to be shabby 20 years ago.
Who would have thought
Jinghai can be like this?
I've been working here all my life.
I have deep roots.
I can't leave.
It's not too late.
You should leave now.
Sir.
Wang.
Leave.
Take him away.
Follow me. Let's go.
Can I
walk on my own?
Mr. Xu.
Mr. Ji.
You're still working.
I have a lot of responsibility.
I'm used to it.
You came at the right time.
Great.
I need your advice.
Look.
Jinghai is developing
so fast.
There's not much space left
in the city.
I plan to develop the west.
In this way,
there's great potential for development.
I plan to build two roads.
The intersection is
at the Pingkang Reservoir.
Great.
Really.
But there's not enough time.
The comrades from the Provincial Commission of Discipline Inspection
are here.
Zhao Lidong.
We are from the Provincial Commission of Discipline Inspection.
Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation.
After the meeting of
the Provincial Party Committee,
[Public Security]
the guidance team of education and rectification
gained approval
on the proposal
to excavate
the S108 highway in Qinghua District.
[Construction ahead. Please detour.]
The guidance team
and other departments in Jinghai City
are requested to look for Tan Siyan
at all costs.
Jiang Tian told me to kill them.
Where are the bodies?
[Jinghai City First Detention Center]
In a metal bucket
sealed with cement.
A sand mining ship
excavated a riverbed pit,
and the bucket was placed inside.
The pit was automatically filled.
As Tan Siyan, Lu Han
and Wang Li's remains were discovered,
the last piece of puzzle
of the gang crime of Qiangsheng Group
has been solved now.
This is the victory of the people.
It also represents the victory
of Jinghai's political and legal team
led by An Xin and An Changlin.
It is because they
sticked to the bottom line
and fought against organized crime
and corruption
to win the final victory.
Gao Qiqiang as the organizer
and leader,
Tang Xiaolong, Tang Xiaohu,
and Song Zhifei
as the core members
of an organized crime gang

[Jinghai Compulsory Rehab Center Jinghai First Detention Center]
How is it?
Are you okay in there?
It's getting cold.
Add a sweater for yourself.
I visited Huang Yao and Xiaochen.
They're doing fine.
They must hate me.
I heard you refused any visits.
Lan came to see me two days ago.
She kept crying.
Her schedule to Africa has been set.
She asked me to tell you that.
She added
that her brother liked dumplings.
She asked me to prepare this for you.
An Xin.
Over the past 20 years,
the best dumplings I tried
were the ones in 2000.
When I got arrested at the police station,
you gave me the dumplings.
Mr. Xu, our leader,
suddenly asked me,
if I were to go back for 20 years,
would I still
give dumplings to Gao Qiqiang?
I told him
I would never do that.
You would.
Yes.
I would.
Who knew what would happen
after 20 years?
I've been thinking these days.
20 years ago,
at the market in the Old Factory Street,
when Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu
asked me
to teach Xu Lei a lesson,
what if I didn't say yes?
What would my life
be like?
If I were still the Gao Qiqiang
who sold fish in the Old Factory Street,
An Xin,
would you treat me as a friend?
There are no ifs.
Officer An.
Happy New Year.
Gao Qiqiang.
It's time.
Time to go.
Why are you still here?
I need to work overtime.
Do you also know
that you walk very slowly?
Are you afraid that it's time to work
before you get home?
There's nothing to do at home.
Your hand
is shaking a lot recently.
I learned some massage.
Can I give you a massage?
It hasn't been cured for 20 years.
The massage will be no use.
Let me try.
Wu,
I haven't asked you all these years.
You're not young.
Why don't you get married?
You aren't a young lady anymore.
In life,
you shouldn't be too picky.
Just make do with it.
I won't.
Comrade He Liming,
is there anything you want to add
about your relationship with Zhao Lidong?
You prevented
the excavation of the highway in Qinghua District,
disrupting the work of
the guidance team of education and rectification.
I certainly
have no selfish motive.
I was really blinded by them.
All I was thinking about was
the image of city construction and government.
I didn't mean
to protect Zhao Lidong.
How many times
have we talked about it?
Three times.
To cure the illness and save the patients.
This was Xu Zhong's purpose in Jinghai.
And it's also our purpose
to visit Linjiang.
We'll stay in Linjiang
for a while.
If you remember anything,
come to us anytime.
OK.
Director He.
When did you come back?
Just now.
Then why aren't you going home?
In all sense,
I should report to you first.
The case in Jinghai is not closed yet.
You came back in such a hurry.
Did anyone
from the Central Committee talk to you?
Yes.
We'll have a meeting tomorrow.
Well done
on the case in Jinghai.
They won't give you a hard time.
Just answer whatever they ask you.
Then
how should I answer this?
Are you willing to show mercy?
I was promoted
by you.
You taught me
a lot of things.
Can I
just retire
peacefully?
It has been 20 years.
Many innocent people have died.
We can't cover up
the secret in Jinghai.
Got it.
The Discipline Inspection Commission
investigated and filed a case
on the severe violation of the law
by He Liming, the former deputy secretary of
the commission for political and legal affairs
of Linjiang Province.
He Liming violated eight-point decision
on improving Party and government conduct,
accepting banquet invites that may obstruct
carrying out official duties fairly,
gaining benefits for others
in senior promotions,
taking advantage of his position
to harbor others' crimes,
illegal intervening and preventing
judicial activities, and
illegally accepting large amount of money.
The decision is
to expel him from CPC,
dismiss him from public office,
transfer him to the Procuratorial Organization,
and prosecute him according to the law.
Meng Dehai violated the Party discipline,
taking advantage of his position to benefit his friends and relatives.
But considering that he took the initiative to report himself,
after a discussion of the Committee of Discipline Inspection of Linjiang Province,
and the request of approval of Linjiang Provincial Commission,
the decision is to give Meng Dehai
a one year probation in the Party.
Linjiang Provincial Supervisory Committee
decided to demote his ranking
to level one chief member
and begin his retirement procedures.
The defendant, Zhao Lidong,

organizing organized crime,
intentional murder,
abuse of power.
[Intermediate People's Court Criminal Judgment]
embezzlement, bribery,
unexplained source of huge amount of property.
The decision is to execute the death penalty,

and confiscate all of his property.

committed
organizing organized crime,
bribery,
illegal possession of gun and ammunition.
You will be sentenced to 15 years in prison,
be deprived of political rights for three years,
and penalized a fine of 2 million yuan.
Qiangsheng Group that has been rooted
in Jinghai for a dozen years,
and its protective umbrellas
were totally eliminated.
The people of Jinghai
are living in a fairer
and more orderly social environment.
The long-term peace is no longer a slogan,
but what Jinghai is now.
Don't you have anything to say?
I have too much to say.
Over the years,
I've basically said it all.
No need.
Do you feel better now?
When Jinghai doesn't need me anymore,
I'll feel better.
That world
only exists in imagination.
In real life,
the people always need us.
Our team
will regularize education and rectification,
and crackdown on crime gangs in the future.
Such an important task.
It's not easy.
There won't be
such big cases in Jinghai
anymore in the future, right?
Whether it's a big or a small,
I don't think we have the final say.
It's up to the people in Jinghai.
We must eliminate the evil origin.
Only when we carry out a crackdown
monthly and annually,
the people will live a happy
and peaceful life.
