Episode 38
As long as I succeed in this and when I have killed Zuozhen,
you will come back to me again.
Fame, status.
These are not what I have always wanted.
There is only Mingzhu. I can't lose her
but I can't, because of my love,
let the Xiang family's century-old heritage be destroyed in my hands.
Even more so, I can't take Shanghai's economic power
and hand it to the Japanese.
♫ Like a gust of wind, flowing across my heart♫
Dad, Mom.
After Yingdong has gone through the mill during this time
he has finally grown up.
He doesn't need to live in my shadow anymore
and he can still do well.
I can now transfer the Xiang family's management rights over to him.
I have always been living for the Xiang family.
Now, I should live for myself.
I must live well once.
I won't be the Mr Xiang of Shanghai Bund in everyone's minds.
I won't also be the helmsman of the Xiang family.
I will be as the real Xiang Hanchuan.
♫ Showering the world with tears of blood Not caring if the world is bustling ♫
♫ Can not escape the struggling fate ♫
Special Assistant He.
Let her go.
I can let her go.
but you have been doing business for a long time.
I believe you know clearly that
if you want to obtain something, you must pay the price for it.
Cut the crap.
State your price.
Once you sign this contract,
you can get what you want.
Once I sign this contract,
all my assets
and my Chairperson's rights for the Chinese Trade Association
will be transferred to you.
I'll be just like a cripple person.
A cripple person is still better than a dead person.
Make your own decision.
As long as Shanghai Bund will still be like the Shanghai Bund now,
even if I lost all these, I can still get them back.
Today, I will use my name and assets
to exchange for a person called Yin Mingzhu.
Second Master. Mr Xiang has gone missing.
I already signed the contract. Release her.
Actually, this is only just a governing contract.
As long as you are still alive,
no one can guarantee that you won't revoke it.
Hence,
I still need an assurance.
Inject this
and I will release you both.
What is this?
This liquid is distilled from opium.
It's toxic. The only antidote is the liquid itself.
When the poison takes effect, you will be in tremendous pain.
It'll just be like you're in a ceaseless pain in hell.
Only when you take this antidote,
you will then get relief from the pain.
If the drug wears off and you don't inject yourself, you will die.
So, you will be giving me this drug regularly?
When I can't bear the pain anymore,
you will use this drug to control me.
Actually, I only want
to minimise my risks.
You have three seconds to consider this.
Three...
two...
You don't need to count anymore.
Of course, only by doing this, I don't have to worry
that you will continue with your patriotic activities.
If you feel that your body can't take it, you can inject this drug.
It will totally relieve your pain.
If I didn't personally witness this,
I wouldn't dare to believe that
the Chairman of the Chinese Trade Association,
by the famous name of Mr Xiang,
would do such a foolish thing for a woman's love.
Three days later,
I want you to hold a meeting at the Chinese Trade Association
and personally announce that the Chinese Trade Association will work together with the Japanese.
And also tell all members of the Chinese Trade Association
to sever all businesses with the Chamber of Commerce.
Of course,
they definitely won't listen to me.
But if you were to persuade them at the meeting,
the results may be different.
I believe, no one else can do this.
except you, Xiang Hanchuan.
Don't be afraid.
Hanchuan.
Everything's fine.
Everything's fine now. Don't be afraid.
I'm fine.
Hanchuan.
Why are you so silly?
Why did you do this for me?
By doing this, you will be like going to hell.
For you, even if I go to hell,
I will not hesitate to do so.
I'm not a good woman.
I don't deserve what you did for me.
I'm not worth it, Hanchuan.
It's not your fault. Understand?
Starting from now,
you won't suffer under the control of the Japanese anymore.
You won't also be the tool of revenge for your parents.
You are just you.
You must live for yourself.
Hanchuan.
But I'm really not worth it.
I'm not worth what you have done.
You are my woman.
Of course, it's worth it.
Don't be afraid.
Zuozhen, I'm finally back.
Let's see what you can do to me.
Second Master. Our men saw Maeda Ryuichi returning to the Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Association.
Gather all the men. I want him to die in Shanghai.
Second Master Zuo. I need to see you regarding an important matter.
I would like to talk to you alone.
Thus, if you take action on Maeda Ryuichi now,
Hanchuan will lose his life.
I hope that you would consider Hanchuan's kindness towards you back in those days.
and don't take action against Maeda Ryuichi for the time being.
It's great that you are okay.
I really didn't think that I would still be alive to see you.
But in future,
you can't use your life in exchange for mine anymore.
I have never been happy before.
I even did so many things for the Japanese.
What I'm happy about is that I could save you
and protect the Rong family's lineage.
We are both from the Rong family.
We are sisters.
This is a truth that cannot be changed.
Do you know that when Dad died on that day,
I thought that I was only person left in this world?
I didn't have any family left.
When I met you at Paramount,
I was truely very happy.
I didn't think that I could call you sister again.
Starting from today, we must live well.
We will never be apart again.
Sis, don't be afraid.
It won't hurt after some rubbing.
Don't cry anymore.
Does this taste good?
Sister Mingzhu. I want to be with you forever
and never part.
Silly girl.
Our men just reported that
as you expected, Zuozhen's troops have just been gathered.
However, they seem to have ceased all activities.
Looks like Xiang Hanchuan's this chess piece,
is really effective.
Based on this contract,
all the assets in this safe
has been changed to your name.
This key will belong to you now.
I just received a ciphered telegram from our superiors.
They want us to quickly deal with Shanghai's economic powerhouses,
immediately strike at Shanghai's economic lifeline.
To coordinate with possible upcoming war operations.
Set this matter aside first.
I still want the members of the Chinese Trade Association to help me strike at Zuozhen.
Strike at Zuozhen? Strike at Zuizhen?
Your only goal now is to strike at Zuozhen.
I really don't know if you are being loyal to our country
or doing this for your own personal agenda.
I have my own way of doing things. If you doubt me,
you can leave Shanghai now.
But if you want to stay,
you need to follow my instructions.
I hope you know what you are doing.
The Japanese wants to use this to control me.
I'm the indomitable Xiang Hanchuan of the Xiang family.
I will never be a puppet of the Japanese.
Let me ask you a stupid question.
If I give you the chance,
and let you start from the beginning,
would you choose me or Yingdong?
Hanchuan.
Don't ever ask this question again.
Starting from today,
I won't let the Japanese control you.
I will also never let you the the the tool of revenge for your parents.
You are you.
You must live for yourself.
You are willing to give up everything for me
and suffered under the control of Maeda Ryuichi.
From the moment you stuck the needle into your arm,
I understand everything now.
My world has never been more clear.
♫ In fact, the most well-meaning deception is mine ♫
♫ Talking to myself ♫
♫ Loving someone uses up how many reasons ♫
♫ Letting go of memories and gently saying goodbye ♫
Hanchuan, sorry.
I have always been searching
for my happiness.
Right now, I finally realised that
happiness was in my hands.
My happiness is you.
♫ It easily changed the time ♫
♫ Unchanging Is who's promise ♫
With what you've just said,
I can do anything.
I don't want you to do anything for me.
I only wish that you,
will always be with me forever.
♫ The circling of the years. ♫
♫ It's back to the original point again. ♫
♫ If you're yearning things change with the passage of time ♫
♫ It easily changed the time ♫
♫ Unchanging Is who's promise ♫
♫ Some people can only yearn for it. ♫
Yingdong.
Helping me to take care of the company for this period of time
must have been very hard for you. Come out and relax a bit.
When you were young, you always went fishing with me.
Do you still remember this?
Yes.
At that time, you were just a little fart.
You couldn't catch fishes every day and would bawl your eyes out.
I remember when I couldn't catch any fishes at that time,
you would always place the fishes that you have caught into my basket.
When I got home, I even told Mom and Dad that I caught them.
What do you think is going on?
I keep thinking about the past.
I suspect I'm really getting old.
How could you be old?
Sorry.
I have always gave in to you for everthing
Except for Mingzhu,
not only I didn't let you have her,
I even snatched her away from you.
In my life,
this is the one guilty thing I've ever done to you.
Can you forgive me?
Brother.
People can really change.
From the start, I have always thought that Mingzhu was my everything
but when I really opened my eyes to the world,
my perspective was broadened.
Perhaps, Mingzhu
was just a dream to me when I was young.
What's most important in my heart now
is only you.
I have committed many mistakes in the past
but what didn't change
was how you took care of me.
There will come a day
I really may not be able to take care of you anymore.
Hence, I hope that if I'm not around,
you will uphold the Xiang family for me.
- Don't say that, brother. - Promise me.
I promise you.
Yingdong. I still need you to do something for me.
There will be some chaos at the Chinese Trade Association.
When the time comes, there may be some unhappy issues.
It's okay. They are just minor issues.
May I request Superintendent Liu, you to close one eye to it.
Is that so?
Superintendent Liu. Please treat this as you didn't see anything.
Okay.
Cheers.
I received news that
Today, someone will cause chaos at the consulate.
Basi Road, Nanjing Road and the Chinese Trade Associate have joined it's manpower.
All of you, swap places there and guard everyone of them.
No matter what happens, no one is allowed to leave.
Yes.
Everyone.
This is the Chairman of the Japanese Trade Association, Mr. Maeda Ryuichi.
Our Chairperson Xiang of the Chinese Trade Association
signed a contract with him.
In future, our business of the Chinese Trade Association
will mainly consider having interactions with the Japanese.
In the past, Mr Xiang has personally expressed
that we will never do business with the Japanese.
Why sign such a contract now?
I don't believe it.
That's right.
This is Xiang Hanchuan's signature.
Mr Xiang signed that?
If everyone still doesn't believe this, let's wait for Mr Xiang
to personally announce this.
Xiang Hanchuan is still not here. Could something have happened?
He will definitely come.
There is no one like him who could give up his wealth for a woman.
Everyone.
I'm here to announce something for Mr Xiang.
Mr Xiang formally resigns from his position as chairman of the Chinese Trade association
Hence, the contract that he signed with the Japanese
is not valid.
Excellent.
And also, my brother has instructed me that
if everyone trusts me,
then accept me to take the position of Chairman to the Chinese Trade Association.
This is great.
Rotten rascal. This is not for you to say this here.
The head of the Xiang family is Xiang Hanchuan.
The Chairperson of the Chinese Trade Association is also Xiang Hanchuan.
There is only one Mr Xiang in Shanghai Bund
and that is Xiang Hanchuan.
It's not you.
You are just a parasite in the Xiang family.
You are just a little ruffian.
What right do you have to speak on behalf of Mr Xiang?
What you said,
I, Shen Qing Rong, don't believe a single word of it.
I will take it as you were bullshitting just now. Why don't you call Xiang Hanchuan here,
so that we can personally talk it through?
Mr Xiang already anticipated that everyone would suspect Master Ying's status and identity.
Hence, he ordered me here to specially to make this clear.
This contract
was personally signed by Mr Xiang.
I have already transferred all my assets to Yingdong.
Starting from today, he is the Mr Xiang of Shanghai Bund.
As for me,
I'm only just an ordinary man, with nothing
That is to say, everything in the Xiang family now belongs to Xiang Yingdong.
He can became the Mr Xiang of the Xiang family
and speak on behalf of the Xiang family.
All of Xiang Hanchuan assets are with me.
He already transferred them to me earlier.
I'm very sorry, Mr. Maeda Ryuichi.
Before this, Mr Xiang has already transferred all his assets
to Mr Xiang Yingdong's name.
What you are holding in your hand is just a personal contract with Mr Xiang.
it's not valid at all.
As long as Shanghai Bund is still the current Shanghai Bund,
I can always regain what I'm losing now.
Today, I, Xiang Hanchuan, will use my name
to exchange for a person called Yin Mingzhu.
Mingzhu is in Maeda Ryuichi's hand now.
Maeda Ryuichi made demands from Mingzhu.
so that he can make use of me to make demands from you.
I will show up and sign a contract with him to let him loosen his guard.
and then show up at the meeting of the Chinese Trade Association.
at that time, his scheme will crumble, he will definitely be shamed into anger.
That will be your last chance to get rid of him.
Since this is the case,
I will let the members of the Chinese Trade Association
all die.
Take action.
Master Ying. You should go and see Mr Xiang now. This may be your last chance.
At the meeting of the Chinese Trade Association,
Maeda Ryuichi will definitely bring his men there.
Zuozhen will stop them at that time.
What are you doing?
Tang Hai.
Shi Hao. Leave her for me.
I must take revenge for Xiao Lan personally.
I swore that
I will take revenge for Xiao Lan.
I'm going to kill you.
I promised Xiao Lan that I will definitely do it.
Xiang Yingdong's life is now in my hand.
If you don't want him to die, tomorrow at 12 noon,
Let Jingxiu go to the warehouse alone.
I definitely won't let you go.
I will definitely survive and return.
Leave now!
