Episode 24
-Sir-How is it?
We are trying our best, but Chengzhou is so big.
We don't have enough people.
Try to recruit more people.
Cost is not a problem.
Here.
I will do it immediately.
Esteemed guests. Commander in Chief is going to take a bathroom break.
Please continue to listen to the opera.
Let's sit.
Fourth Master.
Who forced them to play this? Stop it immediately!
Yes.
You still don't have any updates?
My mind is still troubled.
I feel that something is going to happen.
Tell Commander Xu
to keep this a secret. He must not make any mistakes.
Yes, I will leave now.
Mr. Cheng.
Pei Lin.
Today is your big day. Why aren't you listening to the opera?
Go back and sit down. The performance is still going on.
Don't make it look bad for everyone.
Go now.
Dad.
- I'm going out for a while. Today is your sister's wedding.
How could your heart not be here?
Something has happened to my friend. I'm going to take a look.
The banquet will be starting soon.
Which friend is that who's so important?
It's Jin Zhi's and my friend from France.
It's a French woman. You have never met her.
She was supposed to come to the wedding
but suddenly fell sick. It's Jin Zhi's big day and she didn't want her to know.
I'm going to look after of her for a bit.
Okay. Go and come back soon.
Okay.
Look at this. Isn't it so?
Where is she?
She's in there.
I will only give you the money once I see her.
Come with me.
Jing Wan.
Xin Zhi. Xin...
Jing Wan.
Jing Wan, are you okay?
Jing Wan.
Let's go, Jing Wan.
I will take you away. Let's talk once we are out of here.
Let's go.
Come.
Here.
Let's go.
What's wrong?
Jing Wan, what's wrong with you? Are you unwell again?
I'm fine.
Did they hurt you?
No.
I'm fine.
You must have suffered a lot.
When you escaped that day, why didn't you wait for me?
Where did you go on your own?
I don't want anyone
to be mixed up in my affairs.
You are his good friend.
You are also Miss Jin Zhi's brother.
I do not want you to be involved in this.
You are really foolish. Since I'm already here,
I'm not afraid of the consequences.
You are not afraid but I can't endure it.
Today at the public prison,
I reflected a lot.
I thought
about what I should do
to escape from Chengzhou.
But in this world,
it seems that there is nobody but you
who has the ability to help me.
You don't know anyone here.
Whom could you ask to help you?
Jing Wan.
We are friends.
I know
but just because of today, I don't want
to drag you down.
Don't have any more crazy thoughts. Nothing will happen.
People from Public Safety don't know your personality.
If they did, they wouldn't have treated you this way.
Xin Zhi.
I'm begging you.
Please help me to leave Chengzhou. Okay?
Don't worry.
With me here, no one can hurt you.
Thank you.
Talk.- Accordingly to Public Security, in the south part of the city
they discovered a young woman in a small hotel.
Based on their description of the woman,
I don't think it's Miss Yin.
Let's go there.
Fourth Master.
Are you deaf?
Bring the car now!
The hall is full of guests. Why don't you let me handle this?
If it's really Miss Yin, I will keep her safe.
I want to go personally.
Fourth Master.
- It's already so late... - Shen Jiang Ping.
Shut up.
Madam. Lieutenant Shen wanted me to tell you
that Fourth Master had something urgent to settle.
Because of that, he will arrive here late.
Commander in Chief.
Where is she?
Bring her here.
Go now.
Let me go.
Keep still!
Let me go.
- Don't move. - Let me go.
Keep still!
Let me go. Why did you bring me here?
Let me go.
Stop that. - You are all useless.
Commander in Chief, sorry.
Coming.
Doctor Cheng. It's late.
Come in.
Sit.
Don't worry.
I'm familiar with this clinic.
Jing Wan. What's wrong?
Jing Wan. Where do you hurt?
Jing Wan. - No.
I'm fine.
You are pregnant. Do you want me to take a look?
I'm fine.
I probably caught a cold.
I...
Jing Wan!
Where are you going, Jing Wan?
Jing Wan!
She's bleeding.
It's bad. Follow the emergency measures now.
Okay.
Jing Wan!
Fourth Master.
Most of the guests are gone. Candles in the bridal room are almost out.
Tradition has it
that the new couple drink wine before
the candles burn out completely.
Fourth Master. Why don't...
I'm going to sleep here for a while. Call me when it's daybreak.
The sunrise is still far away.
- Fourth Master. - Go out now.
Yes.
But what about Madam?

This harsh winter suffocates me.
The sky lost its dazzling beauty.
Suddenly a strong rain starts to pour.
Everything is already predestined.
White fog is floating on the fields.
Our traces are imprinted in the grass.
Sweet past is still lingering in the air.
I'll try to delete the bitter memories.
My solitude deepens with the remaining snow.
My heart frozen in the icy night.
I sense your presence with my eyes closed, memories of the past are hidden at the bottom of my heart.
I let the tears run freely when I smile
to courageously face the reality.
If you want to accompany and hold me in this lifetime,
I will be your lover in the next one.
I let the tears run freely when I smile.
I stop feeling sad upon your sight.
Madam.
Fourth Master was held up by some military problems.
Don't take it too much to heart.
See if this looks nice.
This looks nice. Wear this.
Madam, it looks really good.
In the past, I have only seen you wearing Western suits.
After changing your look for the past few days,
you look better than before.
Aiyah.
I'm going to see Fourth Master. Is he back yet?
Yes.
Search all cars. Bring everyone that resembles her.
You must bring them back. No one can escape.
What did you say? There are not enough men?
I am sending you two more battalions. Station them along the railway.
I'm warning you.
Even if you have to comb the area between Chengzhou and Yongxin,
you must find Jing Wan.
Jin Zhi. At this time, you need to bear with it.
Do not throw a fit.
You must bear with it.
Jing Wan. The baby is safe. Don't worry.
But you are in a very fragile state.
You must take note and take care of your health
and stop struggling
or the child will be in danger.
This place is not safe.
If I don't leave Chengzhou,
they will find me.
Jing Wan. There is something
I always wanted to tell you.
Don't tell me.
I know what you are going to say.
You are going to persuade me to go back to him.
Pei Lin has made many mistakes
but you are also his wife.
He will protect you. He won't harm you.
Protect me?
Then, shall I spend
the second half of my life under his protection?
Whatever fate that he arranges for me,
I will have to accept it.
What kind of woman he wants me to be,
I will have to be her.
He wants me to live in seclusion for the rest of my life.
I will never see the light again.
Xin Zhi.
Is this the protection you are talking about?
You are pregnant with Pei Lin's child now.
Do you plan to sever ties with him?
He can have other children.
They will be his legitimate children.
Unlike my child when it's born.
The child, just like me,
will suffer all kinds of humiliation.
But Pei Lin is still the father of your child.
Do you really have the heart to deny him his rights as a father?
Don't say anymore.
I don't want this mistake to continue.
I have already made up my mind.
I'm begging you
to respect my decision.
Don't tell him.
You are tired. Close your eyes and sleep.
The medicine is running out in this clinic. I'm going out to get more.
This place is safe for the moment.
Sleep in peace. I will be back soon.
- Nurse. - Coming.
Doctor Cheng.
I'm going to get some medicine and will be back soon.
Please take good care of her for the time being.
Okay.
Her mood is not stable at the moment.
If anything should happen,
give her sedatives if necessary.
Miss Yin. Why did you get up?
Come, lie down. Be careful.
Just leave me be.
Please take a seat first. Madam will be down soon.
Okay.
Dad.
Come, Jin Zhi. Sit.
Let me take a look at my daughter.
You are more beautiful since getting married.
Where is brother?
He has some matters to attend to and will be here shortly.
Where is Pei Lin?
He had some military tasks to oversee.
He went out early in the morning.
Look at him.
One only marries once in life.
And him? He doesn't even give himself a day off.
Dad. If he wasn't an ambitious man,
I wouldn't have admired him. Isn't that right?
Yes.
My daughter chose
a splendid husband.
Daughter, are you happy as a married wife?
I'm very happy.
It's good that you are happy.
Drink your tea. This newly arrived tea is especially fragrant.
I just drank it. It's very fragrant.
Fourth Master.
Get lost.
Fourth Master, it's me.
Commander Yu. What's wrong?
There is some news.
What is it?
Chengzhou Hospital told us they received a pregnant patient
whose life was in danger.
The doctor told her to seek treatment at the hospital
but the female patient simply left.
Unfortunetly, the doctor could not tell
if it was Miss Yin.
According to your orders,
I added additional men at the train station and ferry point.
They are working overtime to conduct the search.
Fourth Master, don't be angry.
Search now.
Search everywhere, even if you need to turn things upside down!
Yes.

Jing Wan.
Jing Wan. Where is she?
Doctor Cheng. Miss Yin has left.
- She left? - The minute you left,
she got up and wanted to immediately leave. I couldn't stop her.
I told her that you would be back soon.
But she took her things and left.
I was afraid that if I restrained her, I would harm her baby.
For that reason, I didn't dare stop her.
Doctor Cheng, sorry.
Doctor Cheng!
Wait a minute.
Stop there. Where are you going?
Wait.
Move aside.
Go.
Move aside.
Don't move.
Why have they captured us?
Will we all die?
They definitely got the wrong people.
You... why did you capture us?
What law did we break?
Commander in Chief!
Commander in Chief?
Is he really the Commander in Chief?
He's Fourth Master Mu Rong. Fourth Master Mu Rong?
He's the Commander in Chief of the six provinces in Chengzhou. Fourth Master Mu Rong.
Fourth Master
Yin Jing Wan. Tell me.
What did you do to our child?
Stop being delusional!
- What did you say? - I said...
stop your delusional dreams.
Fourth Master!
Shoot.
Shoot now!
Fourth Master!
Quick. Call for the doctor now.
Doctor. How is she?
The condition is not good. She has been bleeding.
Is it serious?
Yes, severely bleeding.
It seems she has been bleeding for three or four days.
She must be badly hurt, either emotionally or physically.
Why didn't you get a doctor earlier?
Otherwise the baby would not be in such danger.
Are you saying that the child
is still alive?
Yes if you found out earlier and got a doctor,
the baby could be saved.
But now I think her body is extremely weak.
I think the condition is not very encouraging.
Doctor. I'm begging you. No matter what, you must protect the child.
Sir, we can only try our best.
Doctor. The patient is suddenly bleeding very profusely.
Fourth Master.
Don't worry. The doctor will find a way.
Dad.
Miss is back.
- Daughter, you are back. - Look at the presents I brought for you.
Come, place them on the table.
These are your favourite cigars.
It's such a big box. It will last a long time.
Great. It's still my daughter who treats me well.
But they are not from me.
Pei Lin wanted me to bring them to you.
I must properly thank my son-in-law then.
This is for you.
Miss. There is one for me too?
- Of course.- Thank you, Miss.
In the past, I always thought that you were long-winded.
Since coming to the Governor's residence, without your nagging,
I'm not used to it.
Miss. We can remedy that very easily.
Ask the Master to release me from here
and just send me there.
Brother, come. Your present is here.
Thanks. I'm going to attend to some matters and will be back soon.
Xin Zhi. You and Jin Zhi's friend from France, has she recovered from her illness?
Which French friend?
What's wrong? You didn't know?
Xin Zhi said that your French friend came to attend your wedding
but she fell sick.
Brother.
Why did you lie to Dad?
Are you hiding something from us?
Xin Zhi.
Don't think that I don't know anything.
You seem troubled lately.
You even took a lot of money from the safe.
What exactly are you up to?
Speak.
Jing Wan has gone missing.
I've been searching for her.
- Yin Jing Wan? Have you lost your mind.
Don't you know who Yin Jing Wan is?
What is her relationship with the Mu Rong family?
Don't you know that?
Yes, Young Master.
We shouldn't bother about this.
Dad.
I'm already in hot water.
What do you mean?
What else did you do?
It was me who helped Jing Wan
escape from Mu Rong Feng last time.
Xin Zhi. You really have guts.
How could you do something like this?
What will Mu Rong Feng do to your sister if he learns about this?
Did you stop to think about the situation with the Cheng family?
I didn't think that much about it.
I only thought that Jing Wan is my friend.
When a friend is in trouble, I can't just sit and do nothing.
Brother.
Do you think you are helping her?
Truthfully, you are just harming her.
By helping her,
you did me a great favour.
In the past, I was worried
this woman would always come between Pei Lin and me.
Now everything will be great.
You have helped me get rid of her once and for all.
Now there will be no place
for this woman in our lives.
Great. Since this Jing Wan has escaped,
Miss has won this battle.
Doctor.
Sir, I am sorry. We were not able to save the baby.
I'm so sorry. It was a boy.
I think it was because your wife was too weak.
She was hurt bad.
She lost a lot of blood and had a bad cold.
The illness was not treated appropriately. Her body has been severely damaged today.
I think she won't be able to have babies anymore.
Doctor. It has been hard for you.
Take a rest first.
Fourth Master. Should we go to Miss Jin Zhi first...
Tell her to go and die!
Fourth Master.
The guests are all here.
Madam will return soon.
Why don't I take care of the guests first?
Get out of the car!
Fourth Master!
I don't believe it.
How could you lose him?
Where are you going to find him?
Go and find him now. Send more men.
If you can't find him, you better not come back.
Yes.
Madam.
Madam. Commander. Master Cheng.
Lieutenant Shen. What happened?
Nothing happened.
Jiang Ping.
We are family. What else are you hiding from me?
Commander Cheng is there. If there are any problems,
he will help to settle it.
Madam. It's like this.
Fourth Master is missing.
We have been searching and can't find him.
How could this happen?
Dad. Pei Lin must have had something important to do.
He is in charge of the provinces and the Chengzhou Army.
He does everything on his own accord. Therefore his disappearance
is not unusual.
Everyone, don't be too worried.
Lieutenant Shen.
Is this the case?
Madam.
I'm afraid this time,
it's rather unusual.
Dad. Don't worry. Everything's fine.
On the day the former Governor's wife died
Pei Lin went missing too.
Now many years later,
this is the first time (he's disappeared).

They are searching everywhere for you.
They said that you went missing.
I knew you would be here.
It's only you who still understand me.
I remember when I found you here the last time,
you were sitting alone at the edge of the lake.
You said that you couldn't take it anymore
but you didn't want to show anyone your weakness.
Have you found Jing Wan?
Did something happen to her?
Jing Wan's baby...
our baby...
is gone.
Do you know you caused this?
You are right.
I should be punished.
I deserve losing Jing Wan.
I deserve not being able to be a father.
The happy life the heavens granted me
I destroyed with my own hands.
I know
The child is gone.
You are suffering.
