Xuezhi
I love you
Let's start afresh
Theoretically speaking, if the person is an ace hypnotist,
he can access the subconscious mind
But it's unethical
Only a wicked person...
would do that
Had Guo Xing wanted revenge,
he'd have struck sooner
Why did he do it only eight years later?
You suspect Yongyan is behind everything?
Foaming at the mouth is probably...
the result of a drug overdose
Are you Linda?
You're Linda?
Linda
Where were you the past three years?
I survived...
the plane crash
But I lost my memory
A kind fisherman took me in...
and took care of me
I only regained my memory recently
Since you've regained your memory,
why did you still hide yourself from me?
I didn't dare see you after what had become of me
Silly
I thought you were gone
You know how devastated I was the past three years?
I really missed you a lot
Don't lie
You've fallen for someone else
What makes you say that?
You have a new girlfriend
I saw you...
with a female police officer
It's not what you think
I have my reason
What is it?
Many things have happened
I can't explain everything to you at the moment
But believe me
My love for you has never wavered
After the plane crash, everybody asked me to forget you
But I couldn't
I once said...
you were the woman I loved most in my life
You've never...
left my heart for once
What's so urgent?
The news reported on...
the suicide of a woman who worked in a pub
Was it Coco?
You knew her?
I saw her talking to Yongyan by chance
I've checked Coco out
She was Hao's woman
I suspect she knew something about Hao's death
Sorry, I'm late
Whisky on the rocks
You said it was urgent. What is it?
Are you all right?
Something's bothering you?
You can confide in me
Are you keeping something from me?
No. Why do you ask?
Is that the truth?
What are you trying to find out?
Do you know a woman called Coco?
You were checking on me?
Wenjie took this video clip
He saw you with her
Coco was Loan Shark Hao's woman
What were you doing with her?
I passed her some money
Why did you give her money?
Loan Shark Hao used to work for my dad
My dad learnt about his death and...
asked me to pass some money to Coco
Is that the truth?
Why should I lie to you?
Coco died last night
She's dead?
How did she die?
Suicide is suspected
Investigation is still underway
You suspect I'm linked to Coco's death?
Yongyan
Coco said she'd go on a holiday
She couldn't have committed suicide
In an investigation,
we'd check out people whom the victim has contact with
I have to get to the bottom of the matter
That I passed money to Coco...
makes me a suspect?
You don't trust me at all
It's not that
I'm hoping you have nothing to do with this
That's why I'm asking
Forget it
I'm really disappointed
OK, if you find me suspicious,
continue to check on me
I've nothing to hide anyway
Huixin, you look refreshing today
But of course. You made soup for me
Careful, it's hot
She isn't a kid anymore, Mum
I'll always regard her as a child
Mum
I want to go home
Well...
No -Why not?
The doctor says you may have come to,
but your condition is still rather unstable
He's keeping you under observation
Right
I know my condition best
My days are numbered
It's a waste of time staying in hospital
In all my life,
I'd never had a family
Now that I have you,
I know what happiness is about
If I have to...
depart from this world,
I'd prefer to die at home...
than to spend my last days here
Don't start talking like that
Don't give up hope yet
You'll get well for sure
I really want to go home
Please
Let me go home
Here you go
Mum
Smells good
Try it. I hope I haven't lost touch
Right away
How is it?
Yummy
She's surpassed you, Mum
What's the matter, Mum?
I guess the chilli oil is too hot
I'll go and get a tissue
What's the matter with Mum?
She's just worried about you
Are we being cruel?
Let's tell her I'm not Huixin
She's found out the truth
She knows you're not Huixin,
She also knows the real Huixin is dead
So why did she...
She had been going along with us
She didn't want you to feel bad
Doesn't she blame me?
I caused Huixin's death
Mum is a reasonable person
She knows it was an accident. She doesn't blame you
I'm sorry
Silly girl
Why say sorry?
Wenjie told me...
you'd found out the truth
That's not important
We've lived together for some time
It doesn't matter whether you're Huixin or not
In my heart,
I've long regarded you as my daughter
That's not all
Wenjie likes you. I like you, too
You can continue to call me Mum
Thank you
Mum
Yongyan
Where were you the past few days?
Why did you come only now?
Are you feeling unwell?
Am I glad to see you
I've been having bad dreams
I dreamt that you were going to marry that woman
Don't imagine things. That'll never happen
Why didn't you look me up then?
I was all by myself
I didn't mean to leave you here
I've been busy
Is that the truth?
I'm tied down by work at my clinic
I'd come every day to see you otherwise
I thought you'd abandoned me
There you go again
I'd never abandon you
I'm serious
If you no longer love me,
please don't show me any sympathy
Tell me honestly
If you're just having me on,
life will be meaningless to me
You have my word that...
I'll never lie to you
I'll never leave you
Anni
Mum
You're so late. Yongyan has been waiting for you
Got it
Have a chat
I shouldn't have lost my temper and...
walked out on you last night
I'm here to apologize
Sorry
I know it's too late to say anything
But still, I hope you'll forgive me
To make it up to you,
I'll do anything you say
Don't speak too soon
Your dad asked you to pass the money to Coco
Was there no other secret agenda?
It was a gesture of goodwill from him
I didn't know it was 500K
I got a shock, too, when I found out
Did you check with your dad?
I did
He told me Loan Shark Hao had saved his life once
The 500K was to repay him
You should've explained everything to me
I was tense then
I was afraid you might get suspicious
What's more,
I was reminded of your relationship with Wenjie
My relationship with Wenjie?
What do you mean?
I've been thinking about it
All along,
I'd thought that I didn't mind your past relationship with Wenjie
But later, I realized...
I don't have such a big heart
I don't wish to be Wenjie's substitute
I mind a lot about your past relationship
I fear that I'm not as good as him
I'm afraid of losing you
I'm sorry
Yongyan
This is a different matter altogether
As you put it, my relationship with Wenjie is all in the past
I've never regarded you as his substitute
Stop worrying that you might not be as good as him
And don't keep anything from me again
Let's be open about everything
No more secrets
Tiger
Leave us
Tiger, have you read the papers?
It was Loan Shark Hao who killed Crying Dog
I know that
I received another anonymous message this morning
Crying Dog's death had nothing to do with his gambling debts
It was the sly old fox who wanted him dead
He sent one of his men to kill him
Is he out to silence us...
because of what happened 20 years ago?
What are we waiting for then?
It's time to show Hong Lida...
we're no pushovers!
Cool it
His days are numbered
Hong Lida
You'll pay dearly for what you did!
How do I look?
Perfect
Are you serious?
I'm eating with your dad in my capacity as your girlfriend for the first time
I want to leave a good impression on him
He doesn't quite approve of me
I'm hoping this will earn me some brownie points
Relax, OK?
My dad isn't that hard to get along with
Trust me
He'll like you for sure when he sees you in this outfit
I already do
Anything I should look out for?
No. Just be yourself
It's just a meal. Relax
OK -Let's go
Are you all right, Boss?
I'm fine
Age is catching up on me
I start panting after walking a few steps
We've been out for some time. Let's go back
Young Master Yongyan is coming home with his girlfriend for dinner
Is he?
See?
My memory is getting from bad to worse
OK, get the car and wait for me up ahead
I'll meet you there
Sure
Dad's not answering
Could he have forgotten the time?
Unlikely. He wanted to go for a walk
So I told the chauffeur to remind him about dinner
Why not call the chauffeur?
Maybe he doesn't want to see me
That's not true
Boss is missing!
Come again? Make yourself clear
He told me to get the car
But when I went back to pick him up,
I couldn't find him anywhere
I told you to keep a close eye on him!
Dad!
Not a soul in sight. Where could Dad have gone?
According to my colleagues, this was where...
signal from your dad's mobile was last picked up
Let's look around again -OK
Dad!
I found Dad's walking stick, Bro!
Could something have happened to Dad?
I also found Dad's mobile
What should we do?
Dad might've passed out somewhere nearby
We'll look around again
OK
Dad was nowhere in sight
Where could he have gone?
Don't worry, Dad will be all right
What if anything untoward happens to him?
Hello
I've got your dad
Who are you? Is my dad all right?
Hello, I want to hear my dad's voice
Are you all right, Dad?
Your sons want to talk to you
Hello, Dad, are you all right?
Can you hear us, Dad?
I'm fine
If you don't want him to come to any harm,
get ready $3 million
OK, give me some time to raise the money
Don't hurt my dad!
I'll call you again before 5
If you don't come with the money, he'll die
Hello -Hello
Where are you going? -To raise money
But you don't have so much money
Just leave it to me
I'll figure a way out
That's it
Junrong!
Let's kill him right away to avenge Ke and Crying Dog
No hurry
Wait till we get the money
Thanks to the help of the mystery man,
we're able to get our hands on the old fox
Who exactly is him? Why is he helping us?
Who cares so long as he's useful to us?
But he knows everything about us
What if he betrays us?
Relax
When we've taken care of everything, we'll lure him out...
and...
Sorry, I didn't notice you were here
Never mind
Any news of your dad?
No
We're also looking for him
If he's still in the country,
we should be able to find him soon
Thanks
Besides Smiling Tiger,
does your dad have other enemies?
He keeps me out of the organization
I've no idea what he does
Smiling Tiger and Leopard are nowhere to be found
ICA has confirmed that they're still in Singapore
I believe they're the ones who have got your dad
You don't look surprised at all
Well, Junrong also conjectured that they were responsible
So,
what should we do?
Are you keeping something from me?
No
So far, have you received any call...
or letter to blackmail you?
No
That's strange
By rights, the kidnappers should've approached you
Maybe Junrong didn't tell you
No way
He keeps me posted on everything
So must you
Sorry, Dr Koo, Miss Chan is here
Sure
I need to attend to my patient
I've got the money ready
Why haven't the kidnappers called?
Get a hold on yourself
How to when they've got Dad?
Hello
Is the money ready?
Yes. Where's my dad? I want to talk to him
Relax
We'll let him go once we get the money
OK, where should we meet?
Get your brother to come alone with the money
I'll let him know the venue
Don't get funny with us
Hello
OK, thanks
Madam, the bank has confirmed it
You were right
Hong Junrong and Guo Yongyan took up a big collateral loan
Indeed Hong Lida has been kidnapped
Tell everybody to stay vigilant
Don't do anything until they're sure the hostage is safe
Yes, Madam
Follow him
You're here
Where's the money?
Where's my dad?
Come on up
Are we going in, Madam?
It's dangerous
We don't know how many of them there are
Observe the situation first
Yes, Madam
You're punctual
Are you surprised to see us?
I already knew you were the culprits
So clever
Where's the money?
Where's my dad?
I'll let him go once I get the money
Madam -Ziliang, call HQ
Let's go
Be careful
Second floor
Go
Yongyan
Are you all right?
How's Bro?
He's still inside
How's your dad?
He was only a little shaken
I'm glad
Why didn't you call the police when you were blackmailed?
I stopped Bro from doing that
I brought this on him
How is he, doctor?
We've removed the bullet. He's fine
Thanks -Thanks, doctor
Thank goodness
Don't take too long. He needs lots of rest
OK
How are you feeling?
I'm all right
Dr Guo, can I take your statement?
What happened?
I went to pay ransom
I handed the bag to Smiling Tiger
But as soon as he turned around,
Leopard pointed a gun at him
But he was no match for Smiling Tiger
The latter killed him instead
Then he also tried to kill me
He shot me
I'm so glad you came in time
Why didn't you call the police?
They were dangerous people, yet you acted on your own
Madam figured out that you were keeping something from her,
so she launched an operation
You might've been killed otherwise
Sorry to have made you worry
Don't be angry
Madam, let me know if you need me
You know, when I was shot,
I was really scared
I was afraid I might never see you again
You have my promise that...
no matter what happens in future,
I won't keep anything from you again
Don't you go back on your word
Does it hurt?
With you by my side,
I don't feel any pain at all
In fact, my heart is filled with warmth
Mr Hong, this is just a formality
Can you tell us how you were kidnapped?
I was taking a stroll when they got hold of me...
and covered my eyes
I don't know what happened
Did you see anything when gunshots...
were fired?
No. I only heard gunshots
Didn't you and Smiling Tiger use to work together?
What are you insinuating?
We just want to find out more
Please cooperate...
or you might be in greater danger
Smiling Tiger kidnapped my dad
You should go after him. Don't ply us with questions
We'll nab him as soon as we can
Mr Hong, if you recall anything,
please contact us
Excuse us
Goodbye!
What a pain these cops are!
How are you feeling, Mr Guo?
I'm OK
Good. Call me if you need anything
Yongyan, since you don't want me anymore,
there's no point in my living on
Linda
What did you come back for?
Why are you so foolish?
Why did you do such a foolish thing?
I thought you didn't want me anymore
I'd never abandon you
Something happened to me, that's all
Didn't I ask you to wait at home for me?
I visited you at the hospital
You and Anni were...
I've said it many times
I'm not serious about her
You are
You do feel something for her
I'm only putting on an act
I have to...
if I want to carry out my plan
Your plan?
What kind of plan?
I've kept it from you...
because I didn't want you involved
Actually,
I've found out how my biological parents died
The people who masterminded their deaths...
are linked to my adoptive father, Hong Lida
To think I regarded him as my saviour
What a fool I was!
Are you sure Uncle Da is linked to your parents' death?
Ke looked Hong Lida up
That was how I found out about my parentage
Uncle Chen killed Ke
But before he was killed,
I met up with him
OK, I'll give you one more week
If you still don't pay up, I'll feed you to the dogs
Where am I to find the money?!
Why did you ask to meet me here?
I have no dealings with you
I want to know the truth
What truth?
What happened 20 years ago?
You really want to know?
OK
I'll tell you
But you must know that...
nothing is free in this world
Are you asking me for money? -Yes
Is money so important to you?
Come on, it's important to everybody!
Are you so hard up? -Yes!
I'm terribly hard up!
I wouldn't still be in this place otherwise!
Money is the only thing that can help you
You...
Unless you have a sum of money,
you'll be in the soup
So by hook or by crook, you must find money
Unless you do that,
you'll lose everything
You'll do anything for money now
When you hear the sound of money,
you'll do the bidding of the master of money
No resistance put up -That's enough!
Don't go on anymore...!
That's the sound of money
I'm the master of money
Tell me, Ke
What happened 20 years ago?
20 years ago,
Hong Lida and the four brothers from Macau planned to rob a bank
My dad was the security chief of the bank
To make my dad do their bidding,
they laid a trap at the gaming tables...
to ensnare him
My dad ran up huge debts as a result
To pay off his debts,
he agreed to collaborate with the gang...
to steal from the bank
Later, my dad had a clash with them...
over the splitting of the loot
They decided to burn my family to death
I guess Heaven was fair
I escaped the disaster
I was the only one who survived
The person who got me out...
was Hong Lida
But why did he save you?
Everything happened because of him
He must've felt guilty, so he adopted me
The four brothers from Macau are rats
They set fire to and killed my family!
It was because of them I became an orphan
Blood for blood. They must pay for what they did!
After I found out about my parentage,
I made a trip to Macau...
to look for the four brothers
I then contacted them anonymously
I told them...
Hong Lida had killed Ke
That'd make them come back for revenge
By getting them to cut one another's throats,
I'll be able to get rid of them
But that's so dangerous
What if you're found out?
That was why I got close to Zhao Anni
I want to use her to achieve my goals
Once I earn her trust,
I'll know the progress of the police investigation
Actually, Hong Lida's kidnapping...
was masterminded by me
It was to make the three of them kill one another
It was the last step of my plan
Never did I dream that...
Are you trying to silence me?
Not so soon
Take off your jacket
Afraid that I might be armed?
Better be safe than sorry
Madam -Ziliang, call HQ
Let's go
Yongyan
My plan almost worked
But Smiling Tiger got away
Why did you have to do that?
What if something had happened to you?
Don't worry
I'll be fine
My injury is to my advantage
The last thing the police would suspect is that I'm linked to the kidnapping
All their focus is on Smiling Tiger now
Where will you go from here?
I'll continue with my plan for revenge...
until I've removed Smiling Tiger and Hong Lida
Then we'll leave this place together...
for someplace where no one knows us...
and start afresh
Promise me...
you'll be careful
Don't let yourself get hurt
Nothing must happen to you
