Three lives were lost
Get ready for the gallows!
I don't know her. I did not kill her!
Other than a change in temperament following his kidnap,
what other changes did you notice in Mr Li?
He didn't use to suffer from gastritis
But following his kidnap,
he needed medication for gastritis
If Li Zhenbang and Wang Dawei are the same person,
won't Chen Kaili be in grave danger?
May is already dead
If Chen Kaili is dead too,
he will stand to inherit Chen Group
Hello
Mrs Li, this is Liang Wenjie
Is something the matter?
Where are you now?
I was doing some shopping
I'm going to my car now. What's up?
Mrs Li!
The victim is out of danger
When will she come to?
No one can tell for sure. It'll depend on her willpower
Thank you, doctor
It's my duty. I'll do my best
What can I do for you?
Where were you at the time of the accident?
I was alone at home
Any alibi?
Are you suspecting me now?
You're having marital problems with Kaili
Until we find the hit-and-run driver,
I can't rule out the possibility
Arrest me then
Stop wasting everyone's time if you haven't got any evidence
I'd also like to know who did this to my wife
Let's get going
Mr Li, I know how you feel
We're not that close
Li Zhenbang is our prime suspect
You can arrest him once we have evidence against him
Herein lies our help
Mr Li, I know how you feel
We're not that close
Let's go
Here you go
You're so smart!
I was wondering why you were so friendly
I had my reason
I'll send it for a DNA match test tomorrow
Once we prove that Li Zhenbang and May have no blood ties,
the truth shall unravel
Thanks
My condolences
Hello. I am Guo Yongyan
You must be Mr Li Zhenbang
May often talked about you
She told me she had a wonderful father
Guo Yongyan?
May had never told me about you
I was May's psychiatrist
You introduced yourself as a psychiatrist
May had never told me about her visits to a psychiatrist
Some father I was
Many patients...
keep their visits to the psychiatrist from their families,
especially if their families are the source of their emotional distress
What did she share with you?
May shared at length with me,
but her sharing was all about her family
I'm not at liberty to tell you more
My daughter is dead,
and Kaili is in a coma now
I really want to know what was on her mind
You really want to know?
Oftentimes, a person becomes miserable...
because he or she can't let go of the past
Mr Li, but if you learn to let go,
you'll find yourself carefree and relaxed
The last time I met with May,
she gave me this
Take slow, deep breaths
You see your stress dispersing like dark clouds
Each time you take a deep breath,
you'll feel relaxed and comfortable,
like a ray of sunshine, full of life and energy
How are you feeling now?
Much at ease
What's your name?
Li Zhenbang
Li Zhenbang, let's go back to 16 years ago
Do you still remember the kidnap?
Yes, I do
How did you get kidnapped?
I was going to travel overseas that day
Then a van charged towards me
I was held at gunpoint
I was taken away
What happened next?
The kidnapper demanded a ransom of $3 million from my wife
Did your wife pay the ransom?
Yes, she did
But the kidnapper still wanted to kill me
I somehow managed to escape
What happened next?
Then he pushed me into the sea
What happened after you fell into the sea?
A fishing boat saved me
After the fishing boat rescued you,
why didn't you go home right away?
I forgot...
I forgot who I am
It was only six months later...
that I recalled I am Li Zhenbang
At the count of three, you'll wake up,
and forget about this conversation
One, two, three
I'm sorry. I spaced out
Where were we?
I said I had to take my leave
Bye
Give me an orange juice
Sure -Thanks
You've got something for me?
I ran into Li Zhenbang today
I even hypnotized him
What followed?
He maintained that he was Li Zhenbang
He didn't call himself Wang Dawei
How can that be?
Our investigations have so far identified him as Wang Dawei
He could have lied to me
One could lie under hypnosis?
A person under hypnosis wouldn't tell lies
So he hadn't succumbed to hypnosis?
Yes. It was an act
But I saw through it
He's not a simple man
It's clear that he's harbouring a secret
It won't be easy to make him talk
Just what kind of man is he?
Someone with resolve and cunning
He won't be easy to deal with
Appreciate your help
We've found new leads, too
We'll soon be able to prove that he is Wang Dawei
OK
Thanks
Let me buy you today
Nah, I can still pay for it
Let it be my treat instead
Madam, here's the DNA test result...
for Li Zhenbang and May
Negative for paternity ties
In fact, they're not even blood relations
Both of them have different sets of DNA
You're sure the report is accurate?
Only if you doubt my competence
But I don't doubt my ability
I trust you, my dear pathologist
I'd love to hear what excuses he has now
What have you got to say?
So you think you know the case inside out?
You know very little
You're saying?
Kaili and I stayed childless after a few years of marriage
The doctors couldn't help us either
Then she told me that...
a friend had given her a secret prescription
It'd help her get pregnant
A secret prescription?
I don't have the details
But after she went on medication,
she became pregnant in less than a month
She gave birth to May
But it doesn't explain...
why your DNA doesn't match May's
I trusted Kaili implicitly
So I didn't run a DNA paternity test with May
I thought May was my flesh and blood
But when she turned 5 years old,
I found out about Kaili's lover
He fathered May
I was outraged
But I had fostered a bond with May
I doted on the child
I didn't want to blow things up and affect her childhood
So I chose to suffer in silence
But May is no longer with us
So I refuse to be cuckolded further
That's why I wanted to divorce Kaili
I won't forgive her for her betrayal
If Li Zhenbang really loathed Kaili,
why did he get so anxious...
when Kaili met with the accident?
According to him,
the accident made him appreciate his marriage once again
Having lost their daughter, he ought to cherish his wife
Excuses!
He came prepared with a script
My sentiments, too
When I was interrogating him,
he was very calm
His body language didn't betray him either
His attempts to conceal something only arouses suspicion
But we lack sufficient evidence...
to prove that Li Zhenbang is actually Wang Dawei in disguise
One more thing. Yongyan tried...
to hypnotize Li Zhenbang,
to uncover the latter's secrets
But he failed
That man is very guarded
Li Zhenbang is a sly fox
Time is running out for us
We must expose the fake Li Zhenbang
A lie will always have its loopholes
The truth will be out sooner or later
I hope so
His lawyer seeks a settlement out of court
An out-of-court settlement works to our advantage
The odds are stacked against us
Dad! Brother! I'm back
My princess is back
Dad, did you miss me?
Yes
Let me take a look at you
You've grown thinner and darker
Dad, what do you know?
I am now a healthy sunshine babe
You should have fed yourself well on your travels
You don't splurge on a backpacking trip
If I did, I'd have depleted my savings
Hello! I am sitting right here
Bro!
Did you miss me?
Of course I did
I've got presents for you and Sis-in-law
What are they?
Open it up
What is it?
A love locket that I got in a tribal village
If a couple intertwines the two locks,
they will never part
Forever love
I don't need this anymore
Why?
You broke up?
Why did you break up?
You were happy together when I left
Don't meddle in his affairs
You should take care of your own
Come, have a chat with me
Dad
Don't worry about me
I met my Mr Right on my recent trip
Who is he? What's his name?
Where did you meet him?
His name is Kurbansan Kakasi
We met at a tribal gathering
Did you say Kakasi?
Whatever. What does he do?
He teaches in a tribal village
But he carries two axes at all times
Why does a teacher need to carry two axes?
It's a habit
If he sees a deer or an ox...
halfway through teaching a class,
he'll give chase and kill the animal
They hunt for their food
This won't do
You should put that kind of man out of your mind
That kind of man?
He's a gentle soul
I cannot accept him
What if they kill you for their food?
Don't worry, Dad
If I marry him, I'll bring you along
You'll be my dowry
No, thanks
But I'd hate to leave you behind
So I must bring you with me
You and I shall ride on an elephant as our mode of transport
Ride an elephant?
Elephant?
It's their wedding custom
If the bride's father makes his entrance on an elephant,
it means the marriage will be blessed
My foot!
Don't count on me to be there
I'm very busy. Bye
Slow down. No one's fighting with you
You have no idea
I missed the food here when I was away for the year
Thanks
Oh no! -What is it?
I forgot to take photos and tag them
I expected something more serious
It's the trend among the young now
What does an oldie like you know?
I'm only a few years older than you
That's old enough for me
I'm giving you face by calling you Bro
You travelled for a year after you graduated
Now that you're back, what do you plan to do?
I haven't given it any thought
But I want to do something that involves saving the earth
If I hadn't gone on my travels,
I would have missed out on the beautiful scenic spots in the world
So I want to urge everyone to love Mother Earth
That's a nice thought
But if you could, stay here
If not, don't go too far away
Your dad may not have said it,
but he missed you badly
OK, got it
Bro, why did you break up with Sis-in-law?
Personality differences
That's the clichéd excuse for a breakup
I don't buy into that nonsense
That was not an excuse for us. It's true
You must have fallen for another woman
So you made that up to dump Sis-in-law
Hey, am I that sort?
Appearances are deceptive
We parted ways amicably, and we've remained friends
Even if I fall for another girl, what's wrong?
See, still denying it?
Just as well,
I needn't meet you guys separately now
That'd be such a hassle
Whatever. What matters is you're happy
Where's the restroom? I need to wash my hands
Here, use the tissue paper
Tissue paper is made from tree bark
For every piece of tissue paper, the tree loses a part of it
Lighten up
Yes, it's no laughing matter
I'm upset enough when I see this satay stick
You young people are so emotional
Get a grip on your emotions
What do old people know?
Where is the restroom?
See the Hainanese chicken rice stall?
Walk past it and turn left
Don't pinch the food
Get lost
I shall live on one of the stars
When you lift your eyes to see the sky at night,
all the stars will appear to be smiling
Only you...
have the smiling stars
You're so sweet to her
I hope my future husband would be like you
Miss Feng
Wenqi
This is for you
How are you?
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks for bringing the flowers on time all this while
Don't mention it
I envy the relationship you have with her
I gather that from your choice of flowers
Please elaborate
Bell flower symbolizes...
unchanging love
You're very observant
I wish her a speedy recovery
Do you know that...
she doesn't acknowledge people?
Really?
But she'd thank me each time
How can I make her talk to me?
I don't know how
I thought she'd say hi to everyone
Miss Feng
I hope you'll help me
Bring Wenqi back
Money is not an issue
Don't pay me. I'd love to help
I'll do my best
All right. Thank you
If you have the time,
you may take her to places she's familiar with
That may jolt her senses
That became my secret from then on
Only I can hear the laughter of the stars in the sky
The sleeping little prince's devotion to a flower...
has moved me greatly
No one must know about my secret
We'll carry out the transaction in three days' time
Everything's fine
Nothing to worry about
Everything's fine
I will protect you
Bear with it a while more
Once everything's taken care of,
I'll take you to a place where no one knows who we are
We'll always be together
Thanks
What's up?
I asked you about Li Zhenbang previously
I'm handling his divorce case
I hope you'll help me find out...
how Li is related to Wu Wenqi, a resident at the psychiatric nursing home
Aren't they husband and wife?
No
Looking at them,
I thought they were a married couple
All right
You helped me, so I'll return the favour
I'll keep you updated
Thanks
Xuezhi
You OK?
I have this bad feeling...
something's going to happen to me
What will happen?
I don't know
It may take place in the suburbs
I saw a tall clock tower
I also saw a dilapidated house
Have you caught any movie,
or read some horror novel of late?
Your thoughts are running wild
The fake Li Zhenbang is a sly one
He's been living as another man for years
Not even Guo Yongyan could hypnotize him
Kaili is still in a comatose state
So he went on to fabricate...
that Kaili had May with another man
The fellow timed his lie perfectly
We'd been to Kaili's accident scene,
but we found no useful leads
File records about Wu Wenqi have yielded nothing much
Someone's hiding something
My dear colleagues, it's after hours
Go home and have a good rest. Enough chatter about the case
Madam
The ambience at a new pub is great
Let's go for a round of drinks to chill out
That's right, Madam
Let's go to the pub before we go home
Sis!
When did you come back?
I came back yesterday
Let me take a good look at you
Turn around
You've lost weight
No
I missed you so much
Me, too
Sorry, guys. I'll join you next time
Yes, Madam -Bye
Let's go
Bye
Bro, I tried my best to help
Next time
We'll have a men's night
Did you miss me?
You bet I did
Or I wouldn't have looked you up so soon
I got this for you
What is it?
I bought it on my backpacking trip
When I saw it, I thought of Bro and you
So I bought it right away
It's interesting
Thank you
When I went to your place earlier,
Auntie said you were still at work
So I waited for you at the police station
You could have called me first
I did, but I couldn't get through your line
Is your phone battery flat?
You couldn't reach me?
My phone battery has gone flat
No wonder my phone never rang
I already told you before
If you're using a smartphone,
you should carry a portable power bank
I'll lend you mine
Thank you
Stop calling me Sis
Wenjie and I have broken up
If you still call me Sis,
my suitors would beat a hasty retreat
I'm used to calling you Sis
It's a more endearing term, too
OK, I'll give you time to adjust
But please don't take too long
You went travelling upon graduation
Well?
One year should be enough for you to get over your breakup?
I should thank that jerk instead
If it wasn't for him,
I wouldn't have gone backpacking
And I wouldn't have realised that hope still exists,
and how big and beautiful the world is
I'm so envious
You could go on one, too
Just take leave from your police work
I'm too level-headed for such things
I can't just pack up and go like you did
When I broke up with Wenjie,
my heart was as calm as still water
What do you mean?
When couples break up, you'd expect tears and fights
But none of that took place for us
We initiated a breakup in a calm manner
I don't know if that's a good or bad thing
I expected you guys to end up together
You'd been together for many years
If there was no love between you,
you wouldn't have dated for so long
The conclusion we reached was,
we'd been putting up with and accommodating each other...
all these years
You put up with each other out of love
To be honest,
I really hope you'll get back together with Bro
I'd want that, too
Just know that...
you'll always be my dear sis-in-law
Sis...
Cheeky girl
Sis!
Where are we?
This house used to belong to Dawei
Who is Dawei?
Dawei was Wenqi's husband
He kidnapped me more than a year ago
My wife paid a huge ransom for my release
But Dawei wanted to kill me
I was a lucky man
He pushed me into the sea, but I survived
A fishing boat came to my rescue
But I lost my memory
It wasn't till six months later that I regained my memory
What happened to Dawei?
I don't know
I wanted to get back the ransom
So I hired a PI to investigate that man
That was how I learnt about this house
When I got here,
Dawei had disappeared
I only found Wenqi here
She'd been subject to public backlash
It was probably too much for her to bear
On top of that, Dawei had abandoned her
So she lost her mind
I see
I felt sorry for her
Her husband did wrong; she didn't
So I do my best to care for her
You're a good person
We should bear the consequences of our actions
Don't drag others down with us
Flower
Flower...
The rose
Wenqi
What are you trying to say?
It's dead
The rose is dead
She's talking
Is this the one?
It's dead
The rose...
The little prince
The rose
The little prince won't see the rose again
She's responding to this place
Miss Feng
Thank you for your time today
I believe you're required at your flower shop
I'll take Wenqi back to the nursing home
OK
Give me a call if you need my help
I will
See you
Wenqi, see you
Wenqi
Do you remember this place?
It's where we built our home together
You once asked me...
why the two of us...
needed such a big house
It's because I promised you that...
I'd give you a happy and blissful life
No more hardship for you
We talked about...
how many kids we'd have,
and what their names would be
You wanted a boy and a girl
That would be perfect
You wanted the boy as the elder child
You believed that happy is the girl...
who has the love of her elder brother
Wenqi
I miss you so much
Wenqi
Do you still remember that...
on our wedding anniversary,
I had this whole place covered in red roses?
You loved it
You wanted us to be together forever,
never to be apart
These were your promises to me!
Wenqi
Dawei
My Dawei
It's come back to you?
I am Dawei
My face may have changed, but I am still your Dawei
Wenqi
Is your new love ignoring you?
Nonsense. There's no new love
I merely asked the lady for a favour
Why the frown as you try calling her?
I've not been able to reach her
I wonder if everything's all right
If you're worried, go to her place
I know that, but I don't have her address
Surely you know where she works?
Smart girl!
Penny -Hi
Is Xuezhi around?
Looking for Boss?
She hasn't come in today
Did she say why?
She said she'd be at the nursing home
What time will she be back?
I'm not too sure
I tried calling her just now
But I couldn't get her
It's not like Boss to be uncontactable
OK. Thanks
Don't mention it
Do you have any kin?
Do you have a boyfriend?
Any last words for anyone?
Thank you for bringing Wenqi back
You're a good person. You should never have returned
I don't wish to get arrested
If I let you go,
will you let me off by not going to the police?
No
I made one boo-boo, so I won't repeat it
I'm going to behead you now
Make sure you don't put up a struggle
The more you struggle, the more painful it is
Let me take your life now
Come after me in our next lives
The customer you're calling is currently unavailable
Please leave a message after the tone
Hello, Xuezhi. This is Wenjie
I've not been able to get you
Call me when you hear this message
Bye
Come again?
You got a defenceless lady to go near Li Zhenbang?
Any idea the danger she may be in?
Who's going to be responsible should anything happen to her?
Will you be able to find her?
I can trace her phone records
But I need to put in an application
Approval will take some time. The soonest I can get it is tomorrow
Tomorrow will be too late
She's been uncontactable for 48 hours
So you realize that
Let this be a lesson learnt
Investigative work is not for everyone
Hello
Be extra careful during this operation
Dr Guo's safety comes first
Yes, Madam
My daughter actually trusted you
But you used her
We all have our goals
My goal happens to be money
What's inside the envelope?
May's medical records
And you expect me to pay $1 million for them?
You are not my daddy
You are just impersonating him
You've been flawless in your act, but I still see through your ploy!
Recovered from your gastritis?
Though your looks and habits resemble Li Zhenbang,
a person's body clock can never change
You went to great lengths to fool May and Kaili...
for a good 16 years
You're a very cunning man
But no matter how shrewd you are,
or how good you are at hiding your real self,
there will be loopholes
You still love your wife, Wenqi, no?
Wang Dawei
Drop your gun!
Only one type of person is privy to my secret
The dead
Drop your guns!
Excuse me
Uncle Chen, you're next
Come in
Madam, has Miss Feng gone missing?
When was the last time you had any contact with her?
Early this month
She's a very nice lady. I hope she's safe
Madam
We found no leads in all the rooms
Madam, her personal items are still here
I doubt she was planning to go away
Check this out
She's filled her calendar with these stickers,
but not in the last two days
So she's been away for two days
It's also been two days since we lost contact with her
What do we do?
Madam, we've informed the hospitals and checkpoints
We'll be informed once Li Zhenbang appears
Our colleagues have also camped themselves at the nursing home
Let's go back to the station
Yes, Madam
Aren't we carrying on with the search?
I'm really worried about her
What's the use of worrying now?
You should never have...
made her investigate Li Zhenbang
If she meets with harm, are you going to answer for it?
I have this bad feeling...
something's going to happen to me
What will happen?
I don't know
It may take place in the suburbs
I saw a tall clock tower
I also saw a dilapidated house
I may know where Xuezhi is!
Hello
Kaili has come round? Thanks
Is this the one?
Let's go up there
Why are you so sure we'll find something in the clock tower?
I have to give it a shot
Xuezhi is inside the house over there
Why are you so sure?
It's a long story. I'll tell you another day
