Want to know what happened 20 years ago?
That's enough
Chief Hong, don't keep me waiting
Or else, I may say something I shouldn't say
Who the hell is Ke?
Why is Dad so scared of him?
Dad has his reasons for doing what he does
Dick was an expert hypnotist
He was also very guarded
He couldn't be hypnotized easily
I think Huixin's keeping something from us
If she weren't your sister,
would you suspect her like I do?
Thanks
Madam, I found something
These are workbooks
The pages are all filled up and corrected
But I didn't find a name or the school's name
Have you searched the whole house?
Yes. Everything's here
Primary 2
Isn't the little girl autistic?
Madam, I've taken Wenjie's statement
You OK, Wenjie?
Does your head hurt? Do you feel dizzy or unwell?
What did the paramedics say?
I've a mild concussion
But if I want to be sure, I should go to the hospital
Concussion? I'll take you to the hospital
No need. I'm fine
Better safe than sorry. I'll drive you
Madam, I've spoken to the residents nearby
A woman and her daughter live in this unit
They generally keep to themselves and seldom go out
They aren't friendly with their neighbours
I think this is where the girl lives
But I don't understand...
why her mother attacked me
How do you know that's her mother?
I saw a woman's shadow before I got hit
I assume that's her mother
Uncle Chen, find out their identities
Yes, Madam
Just say it
I know you're upset...
I followed the little girl without asking you
I wanted to know where she was going back to
I've said this many times - you're not a cop
You had a narrow escape this time
What if you'd run into a killer?
A fortune teller said I'd live to a ripe old age
I'm not dropping dead anytime soon
This is not funny
At least we know the girl has a mother
But why is she teaching the girl at home...
instead of sending her to a school?
The mother isn't a bad person
How do you know that?
She only hit me once
Otherwise, I'd be a goner now
There may be bleeding in your brain now
Blood clots will form,
which will press on your blood vessels and you'll fall into a coma
That's terribly unkind
I'm already being kind
My place is that way
I know
I'm taking you to the hospital for a brain scan
Are you kidding me?
Why are you laughing?
When we were at uni,
we went mountain-climbing with our classmates,
and I tumbled down the slope, remember?
You insisted that you were fine...
and refused to go to hospital
You forced me to go like you're forcing me now
I haven't changed one bit, but you have
What?
Nothing
Come in
Madam, we've got new leads on Ke's case
According to the Macau police, he owed the casinos...
and finance companies more than HK$1 million
He could've been fleeing from his creditors
Or finding money to clear his debts
Madam
We know whom Ke called before he died
Boss, the police are here
What are you doing here, Anni?
Is Zhong Daochen your housekeeper?
Yes. Are you looking for him?
We're investigating a murder case and require his assistance
Is he in?
He hadn't been well, so I told him to go on leave
I don't know where he is
Do you have his home address?
Yes. Get it from my chauffeur
Get it from him
The tea is aromatic
Mr Hong...
Do you know someone by the name of Ke Youzheng?
You mean Ke? He used to work for me
I met him at a restaurant a while back
What did you talk about? -Nothing much
He wanted to come back to start a business,
and asked if I could help him
How long was your chat?
About 10 minutes
What happened afterwards?
I didn't contact him afterwards
He owed the casinos and finance companies a lot of money
Did you know that?
He'd stopped working for me for years
I also never pried into his life
You didn't find it strange that he looked you up suddenly?
Madam, if you were knee-deep in debt,
would you announce it to the whole world?
Did he borrow money from you?
I hope you can solve the case soon
But, unfortunately, I don't know anything
You guys stay here. The rest follow me
If you have news of Zhong Daochen,
please call me
Sure
Thank you
Dad, did Uncle Chen have a feud with Ke Youzheng?
Why do the police want to speak to him?
I don't know
Chen, the police came to look for you
You need to lie low
Dad, the tea is ready
Madam, Zhong Daochen isn't at home
Contact Immigration. Security at checkpoints must be stepped up
Zhong Daochen mustn't be allowed to leave
Yes
Chief Hong sold his shares at 10% below the market price...
last week,
and made about a million
You'll find the figures in the file
Chief Hong isn't in the business of losing money
His selling off his shares...
definitely had something to do with Ke's debts
Perhaps Ke had something on Chief Hong
None of the checkpoints have records...
of Zhong Daochen leaving the country
So, he's still in Singapore
Hello
I'm Zhong Daochen
Zhong Daochen? Where are you?
Don't waste your time investigating
I killed Ke
Why did you kill him?
Ke had had evidence of my past crimes
He threatened to go to the police...
if I didn't give him $500,000
I had no money and didn't want to go to jail
I tried to negotiate with him,
but killed him accidentally
Why are you telling me all this?
You want to turn yourself in?
Yes
All right. Please come to the station
Hello
Hello?
Trace this number
We've got to capture him
Yes, Madam
Zhong Daochen!
Over here
Call Forensics -Yes, Madam
Do you think Zhong Daochen killed Ke?
Don't you have the answer for that?
Although Zhong Daochen had confessed to killing Ke,
the police have no evidence to ascertain that
We think your dad's connected to Ke's death
What made you say that?
Your dad had sold off...
a stock at 10% below market price,
and made over a million bucks
Your dad's a shrewd businessman
This particular stock was worth more than that
Why was he in such a hurry to sell it?
Why was he desperate for a million?
That's only your guess
It doesn't link my dad to the case
Perhaps my dad needed money,
so he sold off the stock at a low price
Why did he need so much money?
Surely you know there's more to this than you thought?
There's more to Zhong Daochen's death
Go make an arrest if you have evidence
What are your thoughts after hearing all that?
I don't believe my dad had lied
I've no reason to suspect my own dad
For what it's worth, I trust my dad
OK
Tell me -
don't you think Dad's being weird?
I was trying to help him, but got ticked off instead
Dad has his reasons for doing what he does
Just do as he says
If he wants you to stay out of it, then you should
I couldn't watch Dad be threatened and not intervene
Who the hell is Ke?
Why is Dad so scared of him?
Dad
Why haven't you turned in?
Chen was only 16...
when he starting working for me
I had poached him from another triad organization
I took him in because he looked like a decent chap
The years...
went by in a flash
I always regarded him as family
Don't be sad
Uncle Chen wouldn't want to see you like this
He's gone
Just like that
Madam, I've found the person who rented the place to the woman and her daughter,
and identified the woman
Her name is Li Youlin. She's 32 and from Penang
They've been living there for about six months
They seem to be cash-strapped lately...
as they're two months in arrears
Does the landlord have her number?
Yes, but the number is no longer in use
How does the landlord contact her?
The landlord said she'd pay promptly each month
There was no need to contact her
He'd look her up at the house if he needed to speak to her
He had no idea the number wasn't in use
Anything else?
I've checked with Immigration
Li Youlin and her husband, Zhao Tiancheng,
relocated here eight years ago
Though not divorced,
they've been separated for many years
After they separated, Zhao Tiancheng moved back to Penang
He's not come back since
I sent someone to look him up at his place,
but there was no one there
The place didn't look like it was occupied
Zhao Tiancheng is missing?
You could say that
Their backgrounds are complicated
There's one more detail - they have no children
Who's the girl then? Found anything?
We don't have any information on her yet
Might she be the daughter Li Youlin had with another man?
If that were the case,
she wouldn't keep her at home and stop her from going to school
Clearly, she wants to cut the girl off...
from the outside world
I'd say this is unusual behaviour
She may have a deep, dark secret,
and not an illegitimate daughter
Get in touch with the Penang police
See if they can track down Zhao Tiancheng
Yes, Madam
Wenjie, want me to buy anything back for you?
No, thanks
I'll go have my lunch -OK. Bye
What's so engrossing?
I told you...
I'd seen a girl steal a finance magazine at a mall, remember?
She's missing now
The magazine may provide leads...
on her whereabouts
I'm the one paying your salary, not the police
Please only do what you're paid to do
Leave the investigation to the police
Have you read the notes on Mrs Fang's case?
She's meeting us tomorrow to discuss the case
I'll get to that later
Why are you even doing such a thankless task?
You won't receive commendation from the police anyway
That's him - Huang Wansheng. He landed me in big trouble
He's a billionaire. Do you know him?
Some time back, a friend of mine...
told me to buy his company's shares
He said they were sure winners
So, I invested a huge sum...
in his company's property stocks
Then, he died
I can't sell off my stocks now
My money's tied up, I can't manoeuvre
No stock can be considered a sure winner
You're either too naive or too stupid
How dare you call me stupid!
I don't want to talk about this
Lunch? -Nope
You sure?
Saves money
"The daughter of Malaysia's richest man was kidnapped four years ago..."
Sorry
There was a ton of work to do -No worries
A Blue Lagoon. Thank you
Any new leads on the Li Youlin case?
Uncle Chen found out from the Penang police that...
Li Youlin's husband, Zhao Tiancheng,
had previously been arrested for fraud and extortion
I've also got a new lead -What is it?
Do you know who Huang Wansheng is?
The billionaire who just died?
I suspect the mute girl is his daughter
What makes you think so?
Huang Wansheng's daughter was kidnapped in 2011
She had just turned four
Though Huang Wansheng paid the ransom,
his daughter wasn't returned to him even after a few days
There were rumours that she'd been killed
I think I remember that
We never figured out why a little girl would steal a finance magazine
The only explanation is...
she found Huang Wansheng, who was on the cover, familiar
She wanted to buy the magazine to read about him
As she had no money, she stole it
You're saying...
the girl who was with Li Youlin is Huang Wansheng's daughter?
Didn't you say...
Li Youlin's husband had been arrested for extortion?
Consider this -
he'd come up with a kidnap plot
He pocketed the ransom, but didn't return the kidnapped child
This seems plausible
Li Youlin is childless
The little girl looks seven or eight years old
She's of a similar age to the kidnapped child
It would also explain...
Li Youlin's fear of letting the girl have contact with strangers
She kept her at home and didn't let her go to school
When I tailed the girl home,
Li Youlin knocked me out for fear that I'd see her face
It's such a shame you're not a cop
Thank you!
Cheers
Madam, Madam Zhang is here
I'll be right over
Madam -Hi
She's Madam Zhang, Huang Wansheng's wife
Hello
He's Mr Huang Wanren
Hello -Hello
I'm Zhao Anni
I rushed here as soon as...
you told me you had news of my daughter
Do you know where she is?
Please have a seat -Sure
Does your daughter have a red birthmark...
on her right shoulder?
Yes. It's Yaoli
Where is she now?
We don't know where she is
What do you mean?
We'd seen her before she went missing
We're hoping...
you can help us find her
Do you really want to do this?
My mind is made up
It's been so many years
Every now and then, we'd get word that Yaoli had been found
But we were disappointed every single time
But the police officer couldn't have known about...
the red birthmark on Yaoli's right shoulder
So, even if it's a long shot,
I want to give it a try
Contact the media
I want to hold a press conference
All right
"Who is the biggest beneficiary?"
Hi, Mrs Huang
Mr Huang, Madam Zhang
Good morning
Thank you for coming to this press conference
My sister-in-law, Madam Zhang,
called this press conference...
to make an announcement
Please
My husband, Huang Wansheng, had a last wish before he died
He'd like to donate part of his estate to charity
I have come here to fulfil his final wish
Madam Zhang, how will the money be used?
I'm sure you're aware that...
my daughter, Yaoli, was kidnapped four years ago
She hasn't yet been found
I'd like to make a donation...
in her name to an orphanage
We hope to provide a home for more orphaned children
The killer has never been caught
Does it continue to haunt you?
Have you ever thought of tracking down the killer...
so as to bring him to justice?
It's predestined
And I've come to accept it
It doesn't matter if the killer is caught or not
Since my daughter's disappearance,
my husband and I had been living in agony
I just want to find my daughter
She's been missing for so many years
Don't you think she's already...
I hope she's still alive!
I want to make this appeal again
I won't ask questions of the person...
who finds my daughter
In fact, I'll give him or her $100,000
I don't care for anything except my daughter's return
Please help me...
I want my little girl to come home
Wanyu
Wanyu! -Madam Zhang!
Call an ambulance
Are you OK?
Madam Zhang? -Wanyu!
Wenjie!
Is the girl you told me about Huang Wansheng's daughter?
Yes
You've found a billionaire's missing daughter!
I didn't really find her
Even if I did, it isn't a big deal
Listen, Madam Zhang will be very grateful to you
She'll give you a handsome reward
You're going to strike it rich
Uncle Yuan, I don't expect to be rewarded...
for helping someone
I'm not as noble as you
Besides, it's human nature to expect...
a monetary reward for the help you rendered
Don't shake your head incredulously
When you get to my age, you'll understand what I mean
When I get to your age, I won't turn into you
Don't get smart with me
I'll go read the news
Wenjie! You need to see this
Madam Zhang passed out at a press conference yesterday
"Distraught over missing daughter,
"Madam Zhang has suffered a stroke, says doctor
"She's not out of the woods"
Could it be her?
What did you say?
Nothing
Miss, visitors aren't allowed
I'm here to visit Madam Zhang on behalf of the orphanage
Madam Zhang needs to rest
No visitors are allowed into the room
If I don't get to see her,
my director won't be pleased
I'm sorry, but this is the rule
All right. Please give her these flowers
I'm so sorry!
That's OK -I'm sorry
Are you Yaoli?
Yaoli!
Auntie!
Why did you arrest my auntie? Let her go!
Let go, little girl
Let her go!
Hush, Yaoli -Let her go!
Uncle Chen, take them away -Yes, Madam
Let's go
Thank you for your help, Madam Zhang
Thank you -Don't mention it
My husband, Zhao Tiancheng, was addicted to gambling
He had run up huge gambling debts
I told him there were no winning streaks in gambling
He wouldn't hear of it
In fact, his gambling got worse
His creditors hounded him, and he became increasingly desperate
They said if he wouldn't pay up,
they'd burn our place down
I didn't know what to do
Tiancheng then...
came up with a plan -
to kidnap Huang Wansheng's four-year-old daughter
What are you doing?
Who is she?
Don't ask!
Don't you let her go
You kidnapped her? Kidnapping is punishable by death
You'll be sentenced to death if caught
Do as I say then
How could you do this?
Release her now!
This is our chance to make money
I want you to watch her like a hawk
If she escapes, we'll be done for!
Didn't you receive the ransom?
Why didn't you release the girl?
My husband had no intention of doing that
I overheard him talking on the phone
He said he was going to kill the girl once he got the money
If the girl was dead, there would be no more trouble
I was very frightened
The girl was innocent
How could we kill her?
Here
Like it?
I want my mummy
Where are you going?
You want to take her home?
I won't be able to live with myself if I don't let her go
Hand her over -No!
Hand her over! -I'm letting her go!
Get lost!
Let her go
Put down the knife!
Put it down!
Let go!
I was so scared
I didn't know what to do
I'd wanted to run away,
but I was afraid the police might show up...
and discover Tiancheng's body
So you got rid of the body and destroyed the evidence?
I buried his body in the jungle,
and removed the bloodstains when I got home
When everything was done,
I left the place with Yaoli
Why didn't you take her home?
I was afraid if I let her go,
the matter would come to light
The police might also think...
I was an accomplice in the kidnapping
So, I kept Yaoli with me
You're too selfish
Yes, I'm selfish
I've always liked children
I really like Yaoli
I may not have let her go,
but I've always taken good care of her
I love her as I would my own child
She seemed to have forgotten the kidnapping
Slowly, we became closer
Like mother and daughter
We led a simple, quiet life
We were happy
Until recently...
I've finished, Auntie
Good girl
Can I watch TV?
Sure
After the Penang billionaire, Huang Wansheng, was reported to be critically ill,
his family issued a statement in the early hours of yesterday...
announcing that Mr Huang had died at home, aged 52
Mr Huang's widow, Zhang Wanyu,
told reporters...
her husband's passing was a huge blow to her,
and that she hoped to give him a proper farewell
Mr Huang was a known philanthropist
He gave generously to support education for children
His death is seen as...
a great loss by the business and education communities
The highly respected Mr Huang...
had suffered several tragedies in his life
The most sensational...
was the kidnapping of his daughter many years ago
Auntie, I find this man very familiar
Why would you know him when I didn't?
But he... -Enough!
There are lots of mistakes in your homework
You weren't focusing
Stop watching TV. Do your revision
Yaoli slipped out to the bookshop...
to steal the finance magazine...
so as to find out more about Huang Wansheng and his wife
If the truth came out,
I'd go to jail and lose Yaoli
A man had followed her home that day
Worried that he might find out about us,
I knocked him out...
before fleeing with Yaoli
Youlin, I want to know something
When you were doing all this,
did you not spare a thought for Yaoli's family?
It didn't cross my mind
I was just afraid of...
losing Yaoli
But Yaoli isn't your daughter
For your own selfish reasons,
you deprived Yaoli the chance of returning to her family
How could you live with yourself?
Chen...
You were a loyal servant
You helped me resolve many problems
You did your job without complaining
I shall repay your loyalty in my next life
My dear brother...
Rest in peace
Dad, it's getting late. We should go back
I'd like to stay a bit longer
You boys go first
I'll stay here with you
I tried to be respectful,
but Dad just ignored me
Dad is very sad at Uncle Chen's passing
Give him some space
I'm sorry
I'm too ashamed to face you
Don't say that
I don't blame you
I'm going to hire a lawyer for you,
so don't worry
You...
You don't blame me for breaking up your family?
If you hadn't saved Yaoli four years ago,
she would've been killed
I should thank you, instead,
for taking such good care of her
She's a lovely girl
I'm sorry
I'm really sorry
Where are you going?
Yaoli, I can't take care of you anymore
Don't leave me, Auntie
Good girl. You must listen to your mum
You can't go! I won't let you!
Don't leave me, Auntie! Don't go!
I want to be with you
I want to be with you, Auntie!
Auntie!
Mr Wu, Madam Zhang is here
All right
Hello, Madam Zhang. Welcome to my office
Please take a seat. Come here, little girl
Can I get you a drink?
No, thanks -Please sit
I've come to see Mr Liang Wenjie
Is he in?
Wenjie? Yes, he's in. I'll get him
Liang Wenjie!
Why are you yelling? -Come, quick
Madam Zhang is here to see you
Mr Liang
Hi -Hello
I've brought my daughter to thank you
Yaoli
Officer Zhao told me...
it was with your help...
that my daughter was found so quickly
I didn't do much
You're too modest
The truth came to light only because...
you'd correctly guessed Yaoli's identity
I'd like you to accept this
$100,000?
Thank you, but I didn't do it for a reward
I don't know how else to thank you if you won't accept it
It would be rude to decline it
Sorry, I can't take your money
Why don't I donate the money...
to an orphanage in your name?
I like that. I thank you on the orphans' behalf
There's one more thing
Mr Wu...
Would you take on Li Youlin's case?
Do whatever you can to help her
Money is not a problem
Sure!
Don't worry, we'll do our best
Please have a seat first
I must attend to something
Ann, listen...
Still angry with Dad?
I wouldn't dare
Dad is still upset with me
If I hadn't gone to see Ke that day,
if I'd just given him the money to settle his debts,
things wouldn't have ended up like this
No one wanted this to happen
Accept it and move on
Don't blame yourself
Do you know...
if Dad had a bitter feud with Ke?
Why would Dad cave in to Ke's demands?
I don't know
Dad didn't want me to get involved
The person who really knew what happened...
was Uncle Chen
Do you think Uncle Chen killed Ke?
I'm not sure
But I'm sure Dad had something to do with it
Wenjie
See Madam Zhang out
This way
I'll contact you again
See you
Goodbye
How much longer?
I'll wait here for you
My chauffeur's caught in a jam. He won't be here for another 10 minutes
You don't have to see me out
I'll wait here with you. Boss's instructions
You know, given your talent,
it's a shame for you to work for...
such a small firm
I'm not as capable as you thought
I'm a good judge of character
I'm seldom wrong about people
Would you like to join my company's legal department?
I prefer a more carefree life
Besides, I'm not a trained lawyer
I'm not qualified to work for a big company like yours
I respect your decision...
Should you ever... -Yaoli!
Yaoli!
You OK? -Yes
It's OK
Thank you, Mr Liang
Thank you
Well?
It's just a scrape
Good
Wanyu!
Are you OK?
You hurt your arm?
We're just a little shaken
How did you know we were here?
Your chauffeur told me there had been an accident
Fortunately, Mr Liang was there
He saved Yaoli
I wouldn't have known what to do...
if you hadn't risked your life to save her
It's nothing, really
I'm happy both of you are fine
Thank you
Hi, I'm Liang Wenjie
He's my brother-in-law, Huang Wanren
Mr Huang, I think you should make a police report
It's not necessary
The driver was clearly coming at them
It wasn't an accident...
It's not necessary
They're fine
We don't wish to blow up the matter
Sure
Wanyu, I've booked the air tickets
We're flying back tomorrow
So soon?
They need you to sign off on a few things
You run the company on a day-to-day basis
I'm the chair of the board in name only
But...
I'd like to stay with Yaoli for a few more days
All right
You all right?
Let me look at your hand
We've looked up the registration number of the car
The car was reported stolen
A stolen car?
It was reported stolen by the owner a few months ago
We suspected a car thief,
but didn't find any leads
I think it was no accident,
but a deliberate attempt on Madam Zhang's and Yaoli's lives
How do you mean?
The car hurtled towards them after racing across the junction
The driver didn't even try to slow down
He took off after failing to run Yaoli over
What was the driver's motive?
I find someone very suspicious -Who?
Madam Zhang's brother-in-law
Huang Wanren? -You know him?
I got in touch with him while working on Yaoli's case
What do you think of him?
He seems an honest man,
and puts the company's interests before his own
He seems to care a lot about Madam Zhang
One question -
does he hold absolute power over the company?
Madam Zhang knows nothing about running a business
After her husband passed away,
her brother-in-law took over the running of the company
They have now an heir to the Huang fortune
He'd thought he could inherit his brother's assets,
but not anymore
If Madam Zhang and Yaoli were to come to harm,
he'd stand to gain from it enormously
According to Youlin's statement,
the Malaysian police...
have found Zhao Tiancheng's remains,
but they haven't found his accomplice
We're on the same page
Youlin, do you know who Zhao Tiancheng's accomplice was...
in the kidnapping?
Tiancheng had many friends
I didn't know most of them
Can you try to recall?
Tiancheng didn't like me to ask too many questions
So, I stayed out of his affairs
Do you recall anything unusual...
before he decided to kidnap the girl?
I remember he told me...
he'd got to know someone very rich
This person was willing to give him a loan to start a small business
But Tiancheng took the money...
and gambled it away
What happened to his rich friend?
I don't know
Tiancheng behaved as if nothing had happened
Not long after, he told me...
he was going to kidnap Yaoli
I guess he needed to pay off the loan
I need your help -What is it?
Can you put a news embargo on Zhao Tiancheng's death?
Get ready the documents
I'm on my way to the airport. I'll reach Penang in the evening
That's all
Huang Wanren, remember what you asked me to do four years ago?
A million bucks and your secret's safe with me
Meet me at the lakeside park at 3 pm tomorrow - Zhao Tiancheng
Target has appeared, at your 12 o'clock
You're here
Who are you? Where's Zhao Tiancheng?
I'm his brother. I'd contacted you
Where is he?
I'm sure you know he's dead
Thanks to you
I didn't get him killed. I'd been looking for him, too
Stop pretending. You killed him
Nonsense!
You and my brother had conspired to kidnap your niece
Fearing that my brother would betray you,
you got rid of him, right?
I helped him kidnap my niece, but I didn't kill him!
Cut the crap
The money
Take the money and leave. Don't let me see you again
You're the accomplice in the kidnapping of Yaoli
Now!
