Episode 37
Yoko. You kept your promise
to come back to me.
Don't you think that this is a miracle granted to us by God?
The wheel of destiny,
since Zheng Jiang, has already started turning.
When I killed the Rong family,
I still didn't know
at that time, you were already that close to me.
What did you say?
You... you killed my parents?
No.
No, it really wasn't like that.
They were only responsible for bringing you into this world, to start the wheel of destiny turning,
and let you come back to me.
Come back and be my messenger.
The fate has already been decided
for you
and I to meet in this place.
Yoko.
I really missed you.
You are a lunatic! Lunatic! Lunatic!
Let me tell you.
I only love Zuozhen. I will never love a lunatic like you.
I will personally kill you.
I will personally kill you! Did you hear me?
It's okay.
Yoko.
You won't be able to accept this immediately.
It's very common.
I will give you time. I will wait for you.
I believe that
you will stay with me.
2nd Master, we've looked all over Shanghai Bund.
There is still no news about Miss Jingxiu's whereabouts.
Jin Xiu's disappearance, must be connected with Maeda Ryuichi.
Seal off all of Shanghai Bund's Japanese shops.
If I can't find Jingxiu,
I won't let the Japanese gain a foothold in Shanghai Bund.
Why did Teacher Muto suddenly disappeared?
Teacher said that he had something urgent to take care of.
Hence, he left in a rush.
- But Teacher... - Teacher has his own plans.
Set aside everything that you have now
and bring Yin Mingzhu here.
- What is this? - It's handmade.
It's really beautiful.
Can I try this?
This is not bad.
What do you mean?
Mr. Maeda Ryuichi doesn't want a lot of people to know where he lives.
Go in. Mr. Maeda Ryuichi is waiting for you.
What is the task? Just get to the point.
Rong Jingxiu is now with me.
When she arrived in Shanghai, she has been looking for you.
I wanted you both to meet.
Hence, I thought that
as her sister,
you must be very important to her.
She won't listen to others.
She would probably listen to you.
I want you to persuade her
to take on the identity of Yoko.
and be resigned and willing
to be with me forever.
This time,
I will never let anyone take her away again.
Sis.
What are you doing here?
Did Maeda Ryuichi capture you and brought you here?
I didn't think that after being with Zuozhen for such a long time
and you are still so stupid.
Do you think I would be captured by him the way I am now?
I don't understand.
Don't you find yourself extremely pitiful?
It wasn't easy to be with Zuozhen
yet you still have to receive this sort of treatment.
But this is just the beginning.
Very soon, you will be just like me.
You will lose your love, freedom
and everything.
You will only be a dog to the Japanese.
What nonsense are you spouting?
I'm not in the mood to joke with you.
Maeda Ryuichi will never let you go.
He asked me to come here today to persuade you
to be obedient and stay with him.
I think that
you can consider this and treats him better.
You can have a better life.
I'm the daughter of the Rong family. I will never do this.
So what if you are the daughter of the Rong family?
I'm also a daughter of the Rong family
but under the control of the Japanese,
I have already suffered for many years.
That year
when my mom and I were at Shanghai Bund,
and roving the streets.
my mom fell sick.
In order not to drag me down,
she forced me to personally kill her.
What's really funny was that
I couldn't even earned any money from her.
I could only sell myself to the Japanese
but it's okay.
What goes around, comes around.
You are now going to experience what I had gone through.
That is retribution.
You don't have to acknowledge me as your sister
but you must acknowledge your own mother.
Maeda Ryuichi is our Rong family's enemy.
Mom and Dad died under his hands.
You won't feel at peace if you do tasks for him.
Have you ever thought about how your mom under the ground would feel ashamed for you?
Yoshiko.
Have you met her?
So how?
Just one conversation doesn't mean anything
but don't worry, I will use my own method
to fulfill your wish soon.
I knew that you won't disappoint me.
You don't have to acknowledge me as your sister
but you must acknowledge your own mother and father.
Maeda Ryuichi is our Rong family's enemy.
Mom and Dad died in his hands.
Maeda Ryuichi.
Was it really you
who killed the Rong family?
It was you who took away my change to take revenge
and caused all my hard work and existence as a joke.
It's all your fault.
You are here to save me?
There is no road ahead.
Did you really think I would be that stupid to let you go?
Why did you save me then?
I'm not saving you.
It's you who wanted to escape.
I will go after you and you resisted.
I accidentally killed you.
- Why? - Why?
I would like to find out why too.
Why do we have the same blood
but our fates are totally different?
Rong Jingxiu.
Frankly speaking,
I have been jealous of you since I was young.
Your appearance
has caused me to look at you in disdain.
I'm a very hardworking person.
I just wanted to be acknowledged by Dad.
but I didn't.
But as for you,
you only need to smile
even if it's the world, father was willing to give it to you.
It's the same when you grew up.
I suffered again and again.
inhumane torture.
As for you,
as long as whatever you desire,
you will get it.
Why? You should tell me why.
Rong Jingxiu.
Your existence is my biggest torment.
You destroyed my life. Everything that you owe me,
I want you to pay back for everything.

If you still dare to do anything to my Yoko,
I will make you pay the price.
If you are really loyal to me, prove it to me.
Since you are her sister,
I hope that your sentiments can change her.
Chairman Zuo, how are you?
My name is Koizumi Jiro. Today, I'm representing the Japanese Consulate
to have a discussion with you.
Chairman Zuo doesn't allow the members of the Chamber of Commerce
to do business with the Japanese.
This will affect the benefits of China and Japanese.
They voiced their discontent and came complaining to me.
If this continues, the Japanese merchants' loss in Shanghai,
will be immeasurable.
It will be hard for me too.
If your Japanese consulate finds it hard to do this too.
Then, you have to accept a term of mine first.
As long as Chairman Zuo allows the Japanese to continue to do business in Shanghai,
I can accept any terms of yours.
I only want one person.
Who is it?
Maeda Ryuichi.
Maeda Ryuichi?
Maeda Ryuichi is only just
an ordinary Japanese man doing business in Shanghai.
We don't have any binding powers with him.
Even more so when his Sakura Trade Association closed down,
we haven't seen him again.
If you can't hand over Maeda Ryuichi, the negotiation ends here.
I can only ask that you leave Shanghai.
What did you say?
Chairman Zuo.
Is there really no leeway regarding this matter?
There's an ancient Chinese saying "the man who can recognize the facts of a situation is a paragon of men".
Chairman Zuo.
You must be very clear about the current international situation.
The war will be further expanded.
When that time comes, anything can happen.
Your Huangpu Chamber of Commerce is merely a civilian group.
If you want to oppose the Empire of Japan, it would undoubtedly be striking a stone with an egg. (means: to attempt the impossible / to invite disaster by overreaching oneself)
When that time comes, even you would be met with disaster.
When the country is in trouble, every citizen is responsible.
I don't care whether I'm an egg striking a stone.
I won't allow the Japanese to have a stake in China.
I didn't think you could really change Yoko.
She is my sister. Moreover, you are also right.
Family relationship can surely change a person.
To prove my loyalty to you, regardless of whatever methods I use,
I will definitely make your wish come true.
Trust me. Tonight,
it will be a beautiful night for you.
This is your reward.
Family relationship surely can change me.
Since it was because of me who created this crime,
just let me
personally end this.
Where is Yoko?
She is changing her clothes.
I have already waited for a long time.
It's natural for women to like being beautiful.
If you want to see Jingxiu at her most beautiful moment,
you should be more patient.
Here. Don't be anxious.
Let's have a drink first
to toast this beautiful night.
Let us merry meet and merry part. Let's drink this cup of wine
and wish you a new life.
Why aren't you drinking?
You keep looking at this glass of wine.
You couldn't have added poison, right?
Because of you,
I persuaded Rong Jingxiu to have this meal with you.
You are still suspicious of my loyalty?
Okay.
I will drink this wine then.
I trust your loyalty.
You even dared to betray me?
You even let Yoko escaped.
You won't be able to find her. He will be back with Zuozhen soon.
You don't have the chance anymore.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki
Open the door. Help me.
Open the door.
- Miss Jingxiu? - Shi Hao.
Zuozhen!
JIngxiu, are you hurt?
Come with me to save my sister.
Let's go.
Second Master. We went to that place. There is no one there.
Maeda Ryuichi, that bastard, has escaped.
I must save my sister.
Remember my words. When you leave, follow my directions.
When I leave, what will happen to you?
Don't bother about me. When you leave, find Zuozhen immediately.
He will definitely protect you.
You must leave with me.
I can't leave with you.
If I were to leave,
none of us can escape.
No.
What if Maeda Ryuichi captures you? He will never let you off.
JIngxiu, listen to me.
This is our last chance.
I'm not afraid to die.
I'm only afraid that you
won't be able to live happily.
I love you.
Don't.
Remember my words.
When you get out, don't ever look back.
I will let you laugh. Let's see how long you can keep laughing.
Of course, I must laugh.
All your schemes are finished.
You even lost to me.
Are you really furious?
Do you want to kill me?
Come, kill me.
Do it.
Come.
There is
no meaning in my life.
I might as well die
but because of you,
I personally saved my sister.
I await death now.
You're virtually my benefactor Maeda.
Do you still remember what you taught me?
The power of love
can change everything.
That's right.
Maeda Ryuichi.
You're simply a fool.
Frankly, I think you
are extremely pitiful.
You have always desired my sister
but she even risked her life to leave you.
She is now with Zuozhen.
Shut up!
You will forever never get the chance.
Do you know why
she chose Zuozhen and not you?
It's not because of Zuozhen's reputation and status.
It's also not because he's Chinese and you are Japanese.
It's also not because he met my sister first.
Do you want to know the reason?
I will tell you.
It's because you...
It's because you are not a man. You are an animal.
You are far worse than animals.
Every women would want to leave you.
And also, your Yoko,
your Yoko,
even if she dies, she wants to leave you.
The person whom you loved the most
would rather die so to leave you.
I'm going to strangle you to death today.
I won't let you talk nonsense again.
I won't kill you.
If I kill you,
wouldn't you have a quick death?
I won't kill you.
You should also know that if I were to kill you,
it will be as easy as crushing an ant.
I will let you live.
As for you,
you are my
you will be my trap for Zuozhen.
Dream on.
To Zuozhen,
I'm insignificant.
Yes, you are right.
To Zuozhen,
you really don't have any influence on him.
but in someone else's heart,
it's different.
You animal!
Maeda Ryuichi!
You animal!
Maeda Ryuichi!
Mr. Xiang. We have searched everywhere.
We can't find Miss Mingzhu.
- You don't need to anymore. No need to anymore?
Zuozhen already came here.
I already know where Mingzhu is.
Hello.
Mr Xiang.
I have been waiting for you call. What do you want?
Speak. - It's very simple.
If you don't want to receive Yin Mingzhu's corpse,
tomorrow at 12 noon,
wait for me downstairs at the Big Clock.
My men will pick you up.
Mr Xiang.
Call Yingdong here.
Yes.
Don't tell him about what happened to Mingzhu first.
I understand.
All these years,
I have never known what fear is.
I thought I would never have this kind of feeling in my lifetime.
Women are too scary.
I have already been pulled in.
I have no choice now.
Stay close and protect Mr Xiang. I'm afraid that
he will risk his life to save Mingzhu.
Okay.
Brother, you are looking for me?
During this time, you're always leaving early and returning late.
So how?
Did the company run into any problems?
The company is doing well.
Just the bank accounts have a few things that are unclear.
With immediate concern, I simply went to the headquarters
and looked for the manager. So I could see every sum in the accounts,
and in the blink of an eye they cleared up.
Of course.
I'm inviting him to a meal in a few days time. Perhaps, he may help me then.
Did you know that
you have changed a lot since you came back this time?
People needs to learn how to grow up.
I can't always give you problems.
I need to learn to be smarter.
Let me tell you.
You have never lacked ability and knowledge.
It's only that you are usually immature.
The Xiang men are all like this.
We are indomitable.
We have never lost to anyone.
Looking at you now,
I feel very happy.
Brother, we share the same feelings.
The Xiang family will definitely get better.
I don't understand why you are changing tack and attacking Xiang Hanchuan now.
With the situation now,
it won't benefit us to have Xiang Hanchuan as our enemy.
What is his identity?
The Chairperson of the Chinese Trade Association.
The Chinese Trade Association controls all of Shanghai's economic lifeline.
As long as we can go through Xiang Hanchuan to control the Chinese Trade Association,
we will be able to let the Chinese Trade Association
stop their partnership with the Huangpu Chamber of Commerce docks.
The Chamber of Commerce's most profitable business is the docks.
Once the docks stop collecting revenues,
Zuozhen's followers will start causing a ruckus.
After a period of time,
Zuozhen will be extremely busy
and will be too busy to even take care of himself.
At that time,
it will be time for us to take action.
Internal and external conflicts.
Zuozhen will have no choice but to admit defeat.
Yoko, wait for me.
As long as I have accomplished this,.
and when I have I killed Zuozhen,
you will return to me again.
Fame,
status,
these are not what I have always wanted.
It's only Mingzhu. I can't lose her.
But I can't, just because of my love,
Let the Xiang family's century-old heritage be destroyed by my hands
We cannot let Shanghai's economic power
fall into the hands of the Japanese.
Dad.
Mom.
After this time, Yingdong having been put through the mill.
he has finally grown up.
He doesn't need to live in my shadow anymore
to be able to do well.
I'm now handing over all the Xiang family's management rights
to him.
I have always lived for the Xiang family.
Now, I should
live for myself.
Cruel Romance
Zuozhen, I'm finally back.
Let's see what you can do to me.
Gather all the men now. I want Maeda Ryuichi to die in Shanghai.
Take action.
