Crossing Hero~Episode 7~
Look! The colors here are really vibrant. You can have a look at what you like.
- Wow. - I'll help you pick a few.
This, this, this.
- Handsome!- Does this look good?
Handsome!
Brother Peng, why don't you choose some clothes, too?
I'm afraid of becoming a joke,
ever since I changed my outfit,
I kept feeling that I'm betraying the rules my people.
You are overthinking this.
Look, I'm in this outfit today, in that outfit yesterday, and in another outfit again tomorrow.
And no one has accused me of betraying my brothers.
Okay, I will pick a couple of things that will suit this old-fashioned man.
This way then. Let's go have a look.
Let's take a look.
Not bad. This looks great!
This color really suits you!
- Hello! - Xian Ting Jie!
Wow! You both really look great in these clothes!
It's newly bought. It's newly bought.
This. What is this thing?
I say, Miss Zhang Xian Ting. Miss Zhang Xian Ting.
Yes!
Why are you here?
These two masters are here to take part in the jewelry exhibition. Of course I'm here to help them pick their suits.
Then how did you know that we're here?
Zuo You Shou.
Yes!
You really stayed within the rules, huh?
No, Big Brother, how can I reject a beauty like Miss Chase-Chase-Chase?
Also, she was the one who asked for me my number! How can I not give it to her?
I only chatted with her on the messaging app, and let it slip accidentally—
What did you chat about? Huh? Huh?
Hong Xiao Dong. Hong Xiao Dong.
I... When would I be able to move into your investigative agency?
You wish to move into our investigative agency?
After all, we have everything prepared, but the East Wind. (an idiom from The Three Kingdoms which means we have everything except for the crucial item)
But the East Wind? What are you missing?
Eh. You're still not a member of our investigative agency. Stop following us.
Hey, hey, hey.
Lady Mo,
why do I feel like the two of them are so happy to be quarreling?
These two masters wish to visit the jewelry exhibition. Are you really sure you know what to let them wear?
Please. The two outfits are chosen by me. Chosen after much consideration, okay.
Don't look at me like that. I am someone who has interviewed many ministers, as well.
What sort of occasions, big or small, have I not seen?
There wouldn't be anyone who's more suited to pick out the clothes for them.
That's right. She makes absolute sense!
Xian Ting Jie is right, so we'll entrust this to Xian Ting Jie then!
How can someone like following others around so much?
Okay. I shall see how long this Chase-Chase-Chase will be able to chase, chase, chase us for.

Lady Xian Ting, what do you think of this?
I feel like it's lacking something.(Literally lacking a smell)
Lacking a smell?
Not that smell. It's okay, try this instead!
Go try this instead!
Big Brother, hurry up.
Okay, go try this!
Big Brother,
we have already spent so much money on this and we're still buying?
Don't worry. The amount from Director Yang's case has already been transferred.
Oh, then my salary for this month should be given, right?
I've already transferred it to you before we left the agency. Remember to check your account.
Really?
Master Hong, the thing is, Master Hong must have spent a lot of money today.
I have this yinliang with me I know this can't be used here, but better to have it, than not.
There's no need for this. It's only a small gesture. Don't take it to heart.
Master Hong, you must take this, this is my sincerity.
Big Brother, can we not shop around any more.
We have already bought so much stuff, my hands are tired.
Eh! This in your hand, it's a yinpiao.
It's worth a lot now! Let me touch it.
Big Brother, what is this for?
I guess, this...
This is for interrogations. The eye mask that criminals wear during interrogations.
Eye mask?
Here, try it.
How is it?
Big Brother,
this, I'm able to see through it.
It's see-through!
Here, Xiao Dong.
Master Hong, Master Hong can I buy this back and examine it?
No, you can't!
Hey, even though this is a toy, pointing it at yourself is still dangerous.
Brother Hong,
this and the weapon your constable friend used against us when we first arrived in Hai Bin City, are they the same thing?
Yes they are similar, but this is a toy.
Let me demonstrate for you guys.
Hey! What's so difficult about this? I can do it, too.
Xiao Tian, after so many years of martial arts training and you're not able to do it?
Look at me.
Wow.
Master, what martial arts skill is this?
This is the legendary skill of the finger flick.
How impressive! I want to learn this!
Okay.
You really know someone's heart only after spending time with them.
Master Hong is so friendly and sincere, I've really wronged him.
If Master can become friends with Xiao Dong Ge, that will be great.
Master Peng,
you and Hong Xi Dong, what feud do you have with him?
Why did you chase him all the way to Seaside City?
This is a long story.
Try saying it.
Lady Mo, I'm really interested in knowing
how you and Hong Xiao Dong got to know each other.
I've heard you saying that he was your savior?
Yes, I was in high school then.
I met a thief on the streets once, and the police came and the thief took me as a hostage and ran away.
Help me!
- Go! - Don't move!
- Don't come any closer! - Calm down.
Drop your gun, if not I'll kill her!
Okay, okay.
Don't be agitated. Put your knife down.
Don't come over.
I have no weapons on me now. Why don't you come and check?
The girl is innocent. Put the knife down and we can talk about it okay?
Don't come any closer.
Squat, squat down!

From what you say, Master Hong is really a true hero.
He even saved both our lives yesterday.
Lady Mo, please don't be too sad.
Hong Xiao Dong used to be a policeman.
Why did he become a private investigator?
Hong Xiao Dong!
Why did you choose to stop being a police officer to become a private eye?
I say, Miss Chase-Chase-Chase, you sure have a lot of questions. I am not accepting any interviews today.
I really do not believe there are any special powers.
But I am most curious and have to ask you, how did you know what I was thinking?
I am a professional detective. I only have to look at others' shoes, and I'll know what they are doing and where they have been to.
So, Miss Zhang Xian Ting,
today, didn't you almost fall because you were late?
How did you know?
Your normal hairstyle is usually neat and tidy, not as messy as today.
Must be because you were rushing on your way out, hence did not have time to tidy it. Now let's look at your shoes.
Your heels are scuffed. Most probably the scars from when you accidentally tripped on something and fell.
And the stains on your sleeves...
Some might think this dirt is from not washing for a few days, but that's incorrect.
They must be stains from when you fell and brushed against the rails.
So, according to my deductions, on the way to your Chase, Chase, Chase program,
because you were too anxious that you'd be late, you almost fell
and brushed against the railings but managed to grab on.
So it was a little shameful, but luckily not too embarrassing, and that's the main point, right?
One other main point being, I know what you were in your previous life.
What was I?
A clamshell genie of course.
But, of course, this isn't surprising since the citizens of Seaside City all know about this.
Hong Xiao Dong!
Okay, even if your deduction logic is better than others,
your reaction was as though you have seen everything my mind was thinking.
That's not reasonable.
See, I said it right, didn't I?
Miss, did you watch one too many Superman movies?
Then, what about Hong Xi Dong? Do you still remember Hong Xi Dong?
Of course, I remember. Those two heroes keep reminding me. "Hong Xi Dong, Hong Xi Dong. You are Hong Xi Dong!"
It is very difficult for me to forget this name.
Why is he calling at this time?
Xian Er!
The cellphone's ringtone! It seems when you hear my phone's ringtone,
you'll become Superman. Let me try it for you and you'll see.
No power?
Hong Xiao Dong! It's okay if you disregard me. I must think of ways to enter the detective agency.
If you won't tell me the answer, I will look for it myself!
Xiao Dong Ge, here is a parcel for you.
Oh!
I can't believe how efficient online shopping is nowadays.
Zhang Xian Ting, from today onward, our detective agency will be your new home.
Welcome!
Hong Xiao Dong, you told me to wait. Yet you're telling me I can move in now.
What exactly are you planning?
I found this online for you. It is the most, most, most special and suitable for you—a little gift.
What is this?
This is something I had searched hard for, online—for you.
A. Maid. Costume.
You mean?
On Director Yang's mistress' cellphone, there is an intimate picture of them together.
Then I'll find a way to get it.
And what if I get hold of it first?
If you lose, then you'll work for free at this detective agency.
Plus, you have to wear a very, very short, very, very sexy and very, very cute maid's costume!
Hong Xiao Dong, our bet has no winner, nor loser. Why did you buy this? Wasting your money?
Oh?
You are certain?
How can that be?
Awesome!
Then, just transmit it to me.
How do I transmit it?
Do you know that there is a new function in these smartphones called bluetooth. Once hooked up, it'll transmit.
What is that?- Let me help you. - Okay.
So at that time, you weren't goofing around but you were gathering evidence?
Of course! Don't you have to take your hat off for me?
That can only be blamed on your superficiality. After all whenever I, Hong Xiao Dong, go on a mission, from the inside out, from the bottom up,
I can see everything clearly and can set up a perfect trap.
You are very sneaky! Why didn't you tell me you have started the mission?
Who asked you to be so dim-witted?
What do you say, Zhang Xian Ting? I have already prepared for you the passport to enter Hong Xiao Dong's detective agency.
Will you keep your promise? It's okay if you don't. Our main door is opened for you.
Who is afraid of whom?
A maid's promise. Rule number one—Always smile for my master.
Rule number two—My master is always right.
If my master says right, I will not look left.
Rule number three—- This... Miss Xian.
You say you know everything.
Why would you be willing to work as a maid for Gentleman Hong?
Hero Peng, there is much you don't know.
Miss Xian is doing this because of something called, "If you dare to bet, you must dare to lose." She is doing this because she made a bet with me and she lost.
I believe people in the Ming dynasty are also men of their words, am I right?
I understand now.
Miss Xian is certainly different than the average Missy. Your intelligence is very high.
This next rule is my favorite one. Read it out loud.
Rule number three—Maid Zhang Xian Ting will recognize that her beloved...
beloved master Hong Xiao Dong
is the world's most handsome, most reliable, most talented, most skilled,
most clever and most attractive man.
In this period of serving the master,
I will not hesitate to sing my praises for my master,
telling my master, "Master, you're most awesome!" "Master, you're most handsome!"
"Master, you are the most magnanimous man in the world!"
Good!
Rule number four—Whatever the master requests, maid will not refuse,
and will only obey the master. "Yes, Master!"
Miss Xian, please don't be angry.
I think you look good wearing this. Very beautiful.
Rule number five—In this period of serving master, maid cannot address master by his name,
and cannot be rude. Always must address as, "Master."
Is this okay?
Good! Costumed Maid, did you just forget something?
Is this okay, Master?
Good! Awesome!
So I'll leave tonight's dinner to you. Little. Maid.
Master, the meal is ready.
Little Maid,
it is tasteless.
Yes, Master.
Hey, Little Maid.
- What is it, Master? - Too salty!
Please wait a moment, Master.
Okay.
Enough. Let me do it.
Little Maid!
Since Hong Xiao Dong's is in the washroom, I must take this opportunity to prove the guards' identity.
I did not do it on purpose.
Hero Xu,
I am very interested in your Nine Turns Luminous Night Pearl.
Is there anything special about that pearl?
Let me tell you, that—
My Big Brother has told me that there's nothing to report.
Hero Xu!
Miss Xian Ting, that day, I saw on TV, you mentioned
that there is a world cultural precious gems exhibition.
In it, is there any pearl from the Ming dynasty?
I checked. There are indeed precious gems from every dynasty.
Oh.
Zuo You Shou.
Yo! Miss Xian Ting, is there anything You Shou can be of help to you?
There is none at this time.
I just heard Mo Han's story of how she met Xiao Dong Ge.
What about you? How did you know him?
And you kept calling him Big Brother, Big Brother. Aren't you older than him?
Miss Xian Tian, your question is a good question.
So touching. Brotherly love.
What has it got to do with you?
What's wrong? Asking me to come out here, do you have something to tell me?
- Gentleman Hong. - What are you doing?
This is my precious weapon, the Moonlike Blade.
Today I am presenting it to you. To thank Gentleman for saving Xiao Tian and me. Please accept.
It's nothing. Saving lives is something I should do. Moreover, I have brothers, too. I understand your feelings.
Saving lives is the natural thing to do. Please get up.
That won't do. If Gentleman doesn't accept, I will not get up.
Alright, alright. I accept. I accept. Such a priceless thing.
Much thanks to Gentleman Hong.
Stop calling me Gentleman Hong, just call me Xiao Dong. This Gentleman Hong feels as though I am acting in an ancient drama.
Xiao Dong?
That is right! Sounds so much better to the ears.
From today onward, we are half brothers.
Oh, yes. Here.
Let me return it to you.
The Bank of the Great Ming DynastyOne guan (the currency in Ming dynasty)
Xiao Dong, I really can't accept this.
Xiao Tian and I, both are here every day, eating your food, living in your home.
We can't do that. Please accept this.
It's okay.This is Seaside City, not the Ming dynasty.
I am not an antiques dealer. I don't know what to do with it, anyway. Please take it back.
What should I do then?
So... Just continue living here.
Let me teach you something. These days we hip-hop singers, when we recognize each other as brothers,
Come. Give me your hand.
Clasping the hands, make a turn, bumping chests, check it out!
Check it out?
Right, right, right. Again. Hand clasps, a turn, bumping chest,
CHECK IT OUT!
- Brother! - Good brothers!
Xian Ting Jie.
What is it?
Mo Han, are the cookies delicious?
Yes.
Xian Ting, what's the matter?
Mo Han, let me ask you.
Do you know why Xiao Dong stopped working as a cop?
Is there any special reason?
Don't you find that weird?
Instead of working as a cop, he opened up a private detective agency.
Not at all, no matter what decision Xiao Dong Ge makes, I will always support him.
Then how about this. Can you tell me about why he became a cop?
That's because...
I don't really know.
However, there is someone who must know.
Who?
Ke Shang Ge. They grew up together.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Heroic Team @ Viki
Why do you look me up?
Not much. Just... I just thought you might be tired, so I want to treat you a cup of coffee.
Miss Zhang,
when did you start to treat me nicely? There must be a catch.
I really just want to treat you some coffee.
But you are a reporter. Am I so simple-minded?
That's why the cost of this coffee is too high. I will just buy my own.
Why do you think of me like that—as though I am someone who's really troublesome.
Hey, you are a reporter. Is there any reporter that is not troublesome?
Fine, quickly, let me hear you out. I need to return to the station for my shift.
Okay.
Then I will ask you directly. Why did Hong Xiao Dong become a cop?
Why are you asking? How does that concern you?
I am just curious. Why can't I ask?
I don't want to tell you.
It isn't some type of big deal. Why can't you tell me?
Hey, you don't know anything at all. What right do you have to speak so casually?
I just want to know. Just tell me a bit.
Fine. Since you won't tell, I will ask Hong Xiao Dong directly.
Hey, Miss Zhang.
Can you do me a favor by not asking him? He will be very sad.
Then I will listen carefully (to what you have to say).
Fine, fine. I will tell you. So bothersome.
During our high school days, Xiao Dong and I went from not liking each other to becoming the best of friends.
Then, there was still someone named Xiao Bi.
We always hung out together.
Which bastard is it? Hand over the money now.
Do you have money?
Take it out. Don't you have money?
You said you have no money?! No money!
Hit!
How annoying. It's so rare to end school early, why ask me to take care of the store?
Hey, Xiao Dong! Xiao Dong! Let's run!
- Run with me!- What's that? You saw a ghost?
Oh, it's about Xiao Bi.
- What's with Xiao Bi? - Xiao Bi is being beaten by Ah Guo again!
Ah Guo?
- Yeah. - Where are they? Bring me there!
No money? You dare say you have no money?
You have no money, huh?
- Don't touch him! You guys are dead meat! - It's Hong Xiao Dong, run!
Don't run you cowards! You only know how to gang up on others. Why don't you pick a fight with me, one-on-one?
Xiao Dong!
Xiao Bi! Xiao Bi, are you okay? Xiao Bi, are you okay?
Can you stand up? Come on, Iet's go get your wound treated. Come on.
Come on, Iet's get your wound treated. Let's go.
Help me pull him up.
Come.
Be careful.
These guys are too much. I must teach them a lesson.
Be careful.
My dad says, I'm always getting injuries from fights and should put bandages into my bag.
Here it is.
Hey, stop crying.
I will be killed by my mother. My uniform is dirty and torn.
What's wrong with dirty and torn uniforms? Xiao Dong and I are like that every day.
Young Master, give us a hand at least. Don't let me and Ke Shang save you all the time.
I can't help it, either. They started beating me once they saw me and took all my money.
Then don't let them beat you. If they hit you, you need to fight back.
You can't keep getting beaten and cry afterwards. You have to toughen up, otherwise nothing is going to change.
You make it sound so simple. You and Ke Shang are such good fighters.
No one dares to fight against you two, but I am not like you.
Hey, why are you saying such depressing words, we also—
You're wrong, he and I didn't start out as good fighters, either.
I was also scared when I saw them the first time.
I was beaten to a pulp by them that time. It almost got to the point where I needed to kneel down and beg for mercy.
But, I'm not someone who gives up easily. I started wondering why everyone is so scared of them,
so the second time they came to look for me, I gave them a taste of their own medicine.
Although I was still beaten to a pulp, I also let those bastards go back with a couple of black eyes on their faces.
Later, on the third and fourth time, I continued to fight back.
Because if I didn't fight back, it would never end. And so those guys think I have become more difficult.
Later, Ke Shang joined me, too. Eventually, they didn't dare to give us trouble any more.
Anyway, fighting is similar to playing baseball. You will only get the skills by practice.
Then...
Can you two teach me martial arts?
Do me this favor, please. I also want to be stronger.
Do we know any martial arts?
That's right. We only fought casually.
Casually.
Please! Please teach me martial arts!
Can you please help me? I want to be strong, too. I don't want to be a coward.
I want to be brave. Please, guys!
Be brave?
Please!
Oh, you wanting to learn from us is a big issue.
Let's discuss.
Fighting skills can be learned, but can bravery be taught?
I don't know at all.
I know, I know. I'll teach.
Okay. But I have some conditions.
First, you have to buy us beverages after class.
And then, everyday after school, you have to come here to learn martial art with us.
If you become better after I teach you, I'll request additional tuition fees.
That sounds reasonable. That's a deal then!
Right, I better return home now. If not my mom will definitely kill me.
Okay.
Goodbye, then.
Bye.
Us like that, would we be worse than Ah Guo and his gang like that?
They were threatening him. We are teaching him self defense. It's different.
Are you sure?
I am sure.
You're not cheating him?
No, I'm not. Really.
Hey!
The first step on fighting is to have a stronger aura than your opponents.
Got you scared?
A bit.
This is called a bluff. Scare your opponents a little before fighting them.
Let their legs turn into jelly before they even start fighting.
Your turn.
Hey.
Hey!
Exert more force.
With more force!
Hey!
Eyebrows! Furrow your eyebrows.
Eyebrows.
- Hey! - Again!
Hey!
Anger! Anger!
- Anger?- Anger!
Hey! Hey!
- Again.- Hey!
- Hey.- Hey.- Hey. Hey!
Next. You need to punch bravely.
We need you to make the first step. Hit him.
Huh? Hit him?
Hit him.
Hurry. No problem. I am tough as steel.
- Is it alright?- It's alright.
I... I will hit now.
Go ahead.
- You are just... Let me demonstrate.- Hey!
Why is it you?
What?
I... I don't want to get hit by you.
Where are you going?
Come back. Don't try to ditch.
Look closely. Just punch like this.
Punch like this. Punch like this.
Just like that.
You hit him too hard. What's wrong with you?
He's alright.
- Are you alright?- Get up.
Are you okay?
- How are you?- It's your fault.
I am fine. I am tough.
Okay. Hurry up.
How about this? Quantity over quality. Just hit more times.
Again. Continue. Continue.
Again.
Come and hold him.
Hold him. Hold him, and punch.
More force!
Again!
Okay. That's enough. Stop hitting.
Can't take it any more?
Hey, Masters, when will I become stronger?
I am not sure.
I think it will take a long time.
Because a certain someone really has no talent when it comes to fighting.
With fighting, it just takes practice.
You want to be stronger with only a few lessons. It can't be that easy.
That's true.
That's right. I will give this to you.
This is...
I heard you guys talking about the music you like previously, so I thought I could give my mp3 to you guys.
You guys are willing to teach me. Everyone says I am a nerd.
They say talking to me is really lousy. Only the two of you treat me like friends. Thank you.
Perhaps, the truth is, I can't be counted as your friend yet?
I am just too shameless.
Idiot! You have been our friend for a while now.
That's right. There's no need to thank us.
- There's no need for that. - That's right.
Stop messing with me.
Don't do that!
Stop it.
Xiao Bi, we've already shown how to intimidate others. Next, we will teach how to throw punches.
First, make sure your movement is correct.
Face your opponent. Hold your left fist out,
and pull back your right fist.
Here, here. Lower this side. Good.
And when your opponent doesn't know what your next move is, you will surprise him with a punch.
Again. Again.
Very good. Again. Again.
Very good. Very good. Turn your body and punch again.
Correct. Very good. That's right. Now that you have your move down,
next, we'll have to see if you can hit a real opponent.
Remember, when you hit him last time, he didn't feel it at all.
- Hurry!- Ahh!
How are you?
Continue. Continue. It's really strong.
For real? Let me try it.
Xiao Bi, hit me.
There's a feeling.
Aye, Xiao Bi, that's okay. First, get your stance right.
You need to imagine how those bastards have beaten you. Recall all those moments.
What a coward!
Take out your money.
- You have no money? - Otherwise, all you do is cry.
Keep crying.
Keep beating him!
Just continue being bullied by Ah Guo and the rest then.
Anyway, all you need is to give them your money, and let them take advantage of you for the rest of your life.
You asked us to teach you to fight, but you didn't learn anything.
I know how. I know how!
If you know how, then show me. Otherwise, you are just a coward.
I am not a coward!
If you are not a coward, then prove me wrong. What a crybaby—
Ughhh.
I am going to throw up the food I just ate.
You have completed your lessons.
- For real?- Yup.
Have you been training secretly?
Hey, Xiao Dong.
He wants to surpass us.
- I don't!- Want to surpass us?
You want to become a master and teach others now?
Not at all.
Such a good fighter now. You know what, it's time for two versus one.
Come, now two against one.
Stop bothering me.
Two against one is not fair!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Heroic Team @ Viki
- It hurts.- Seriously?
Be careful.
Slowly.
Hey, Xiao Dong!
Xiao Dong.
Xiao Bi, Xiao Bi.
You got beaten up again? Why didn't you call us?
Oh, he didn't get beaten this time. He was really strong, fighting back against all of them.
No, I didn't, but I managed to throw a few punches at Ah Guo.
Can you wait a while?
It's quite painful.
- All grown up!- Ahhh! It hurts! It hurts!
I am giving you an ice pack.
Take it.
Wow. You are doing so well. I, your master, am very happy.
You are just a kiddo yourself.
Kiddo? YOU are the kiddo!
Hurry and drink it up. It's for you.
Wow,
Tell me everything. I want to hear how you fought.
Just with what you taught. Turning my waist and all.
That's right, turning your waist, and then how many people did they have?
Around four or five?
Wow, four or five? The two versus one was a right decision.
No, no, no. I was still hurt.
So what if you were hit? Who hasn't been beaten. Come on, this is just a small injury.
It hurts already. You shouldn't touch it.
Come come, quickly open it. It's my treat.
Wow. The first victory!
Let's do a high five! High five.
Wow, you've become so impressive. Next time...
Huh?
I'm just kidding.
Xiao Dong!
- Hey, Xiao Dong! - Xiao Dong!
Xiao Dong!
Xiao Dong! Let's go. Let's go swimming!
Can't go today.
Why?
Isn't your dad looking after the store today? Why else would you be here?
My dad got injured.
Injured?
Bro, what happened?
Our street has two hooligans who come around asking for protection fees,
so today, my dad finally couldn't stand it and decided to stand up for the neighbors by asking those hooligans to scram.
And then?
And so my dad got beaten up badly. Our store got vandalized.
Today, my dad went there for the sake of the entire street, but when he got injured, nobody was willing to help him.
Why is it like that? Let's go talk some sense into them.
We've only had a fight or two in school. How can we settle these things for the adults?
Hey, Xiao Dong, even if the adults don't stand up for it, you still have us. We'll back you up!
Okay. Xiao Dong. To those bastards who beat up your dad, I will teach them a lesson for you, okay?
I want to seek revenge for my dad, too, but I can't drag you two into trouble.
Hey, what are brothers for? We are here to support each other.
That's right. You always help me out. I will repay you now.
Alright. Let me think of a way. Please help me out.
Get on. Get on.
Go that way. That way.
Okay, let's go.<?i>
Crossing Hero~Episode 8~
Hey... Ke Shang. Go up over there first and search.
Xiao Bi and I will go together.
Come on, Xiao Bi.
You, hooligans!
Who are you calling hooligans?
I'm calling you a hooligan.
You kiddo, what are you saying here? Where is the old dude?
Old dude? My dad has a name, okay. Who allowed you to called him an old dude?
An old dude who has a grocery store in the alley.
Remember, that the old dude still owes my boss money. Stop trash talking here.
You hooligans only know how to bully the innocents all day.
I, Hong Xiao Dong, have come here today to get rid of all of you.
You rascal, what are you saying?
Scram now or don't blame me for being rough on you.
You hooligan, that's what I want to say to you.
Hey, you dare talk back?
I'm warning you. Don't harm my dad any more.
Get out of this street and don't let me see you again.
Okay, okay, okay.
You're so good at running. Why did we teach you how to fight?
Well, why did you guys want to gang up on me.
That's to congratulate you on graduating!
Oh. This is the tuition fees for today. Master, please check the amount.
That's no need for that any more. That's enough.
Huh. Enough?
Actually, the only reason we took your money previously,
was to buy this for you to defend yourself.
This... Are these nunchakus?
Bruce Lee, he is my idol.
The God of martial arts, Bruce Lee, used nunchakus.
Now that you've mastered your lessons, you can use these to protect yourself.
So you took tuition money from me just to buy these?
This is not some cheap knock-off, okay.
This is nunchakus that Bruce Lee's disciple's cousin,
used in the movie previously.
But, the movie never saw the light of the day.
Yeah right, there better be such a movie.
I know how to use it.
- Try it out then. - Yeah I want to see it.
Are you sure you can do it?
- Okay, you can stop now. - Yeah, there's no need to show us any more.
Thank you!
Thank you for giving this gift to me. I will cherish it.
Xiao Dong, Ke Shang, both of you are like my ideal heroes.
Now, you're a hero, too.
Little brother, do you still remember me?
What do you want from me?
From you? Where's that friend of yours? Isn't he around?
Get that fearless friend of yours here. Where is he now?
What now, Little Brother? Did the shock make you dumb?
What do you guys want?
Don't come any closer. I have a weapon!
Aiyo, you have a nunchakus.
I'm so scared. Let's see you try using it.
I'm not afraid of you guys.
So you're not going to get your friend here?
Go!
Who cares what you said?
What do you guys want exactly.
What do we want?
These four people surrounding you, what do we want? Think about it yourself.
Think!
Think about it!
What do we want? What do you think we want?
What is this?
Hey, Xiao DOng, I can't find him there, either.
That's weird. No one picked up when I called his place, either.
Xiao Dong, wait for me!
Who wants to wait for you?
This Xiao Bi made me wait for so long.
I will definitely get back at you tomorrow.
Xiao Dong!
Xiao Bi!
Xiao Bi! Xiao Bi!
Xiao Bi! Xiao Bi!!
Xiao Bi! Xiao Bi!
Xiao Bi!
Ke Shang, call for an ambulance quickly!
Okay!
Xiao Bi, Xiao Bi.
Xiao... Xiao Dong...
Sorry, I wasn't able to join you guys today.
Xiao Bi, it's okay. I will get you to the hospital.
They… They want me to look for you.
Then why didn't you come look for us?
I couldn't. They have weapons. You and Ke Shang would be injured.
Plus, I have my nunchakus.
I went all out against them.
Xiao Bi, I'm sorry, so sorry...
Xiao... Xiao Dong, I'm tired.
I feel like sleeping.
Xiao Bi!
Xiao Bi! Xiao Bi, you can't fall asleep! Xiao Bi!
Xiao Bi, wake up!
Xiao Bi! Xiao Bi!
Xiao Bi...
And then? Did your friend manage to survive?
No. Xiao Bi passed away.
Both of us met Officer Wu in the police station.
He helped us capture the culprit,
and also gave us both a scolding.
What did Officer say to the two of you?
He said, he's been a police officer for so many years,
but every time he sees these youths with a bright future ahead of them
dying for no reason, he still feels regretful.
But, Xiao Dong wasn't able to curb himself and he shot back at Officer Wu,
"Hey, are you done with your nonsense yet?
We have already complied with giving you a record of what happened. Can't we leave, already?"
Wow, Officer Wu must have flared up.
Yes, I can still remember what Officer Wu told Xiao Dong.
He pointed at Xiao Dong's nose saying,
"You must have thought you were impressive, right?
But now, you can't even take care of your brother's life. Is that worth it?"
Hong Xiao Dong definitely wouldn't fall for that.
Of course, he retorted to Officer Wu saying,
"So are you done with your nonsense yet?
So when we needed the police, where were you guys?
I really hate you police."
Wow, when Officer Wu heard this he went...
Officer Wu must have been boiling mad.
Yes, he was. So Officer Wu told us,
"When you need the police, you should tell us.
Why did you go settle things yourself? Did you think you were a righteous avenger?"
He said, these lawless, righteous acts,
are no different from being a hooligan.
Officer Wu was absolutely right.
So Officer Wu gave us a huge scolding and told us
to be good students from now on,
and to leave the duty of keeping peace in society to the police.
Officer Wu told us he lost a brother once, too.
So he could empathize with how we felt,
and he would definitely get back the due returns for our friend.
But, he wanted us to promise to never counter violence with violence,
in case we create more hate.
I didn't expect Officer Wu to have this side to him.
I really can't tell usually.
Ah, in the end,
because of what Officer Wu did, it influenced me and Xiao Dong.
So, we ended up being police officers.
What did he tell you two?
Xiao Dong, Xiao Dong, what is wrong with you?
I will never forget about what happened today.
I won't, either!
Just now, Officer Wu told us to protect the weak and young,
and protect the correct order in society, so we can help other 'Xiao Bis.'
So all the 'Xiao Bis' in the world can live on, peacefully.
Ke Shang, I want to be a police officer when I grow up.
I want to be like Officer Wu, punishing the bad while helping the good.
This is the last thing I can do for Xiao Bi.
Okay, let's become police officers together.
Let's become police officers together. Xiao Bi won't have made a needless sacrifice.
Don't be sad any more.
This is why Xiao Dong and I became police officers.
Thank you for telling me this.
So this guy isn't totally useless.
Then, after hearing me talk, have your feelings about him changed?
Of course not.
I thought you were going to tell me that he's done bad and evil things in the past
to prove that his perverted act of asking me to wear a maid costume,
has something to do with a childhood trauma. Although there isn't any.
I still won't forgive him for what he's done to me.
No matter what, I will find a way to get him. You just wait.
Hong Xiao Dong. You think you're all that.
It's okay. As long as I can fulfill my undercover mission, it's good enough.
Maid? Maid?
Where are you?
I will get you.
Master. You aren't going to drink it?
It's too hot.
Then... Where am I sleeping today?
On the bed.
What about you?
This is my house. Of course I'm sleeping on the bed.
- Are you serious? - Yeah.
Oh.
What are you doing?
I was going to ask what you were doing. The bed you're supposed to sleep in, is the one next door.
Also you were lying on my favorite pillow. And you got powder on it.
That's clearly your—
Xian Er.
It's you! Wait let me answer a call.
Hello, Channel Manager? Is it the schedule? I'll check my inbox. Bye-bye.
Did you hit me on the head while I wasn't paying attention?
Are you Hong Xiao Dong?
- No. - Hong Xi Dong?
- Nope. - Then who are you?
I am—your master.
You don't even remember changing when you heard my phone ringtone?
What are you talking about? Remember what?
This.
Xian Er—Nooo! Xian Er—Nooo!
Save me! My head hurts! Did you poison me?
Ouch! It hurts so much!
So it looks like you'll experience side effects after every change.
What are you talking about? What change? What side effects? I don't understand.
Like how you get a headache after changing into Hong Xi Dong.
Ho, so my recent memory lapses have been because of you?
Then... Then are you trying to do something with me?
Do you really not remember anything?
Sad. When you turned into a super hero, you were way better than now.
Super hero? May I ask if I was Spider Man or Iron Man?
- Xian Er. - Wait.
- Are you Hong Xi Dong? - Xian Er.
Why is your speech mannerism so rough?
I've always talked like this.
No, no, when Xian Er usually talks, she talks in a soft way. Not like this.
Okay, just shut up. I have so many things to ask you. Can you please be quiet and let me ask?
Xian Er has been away from me for long. You've endured many hardships.
First of all, what is the Nine Turns Luminous Night Pearl?
Xian Er, sit. You are wearing too little. You will catch a cold like that.
Thank you. Can you answer my questions now?
Nine Turns Luminous Night Pearl is a treasure of the Great Ming dynasty.
Master wants me to acquire the Luminous Night Pearl so he can take the place of the emperor.
As long as I acquire the Luminous Night Pearl, I will be able to return home with you.
So what grudge do you have with the imperial guards, Peng Ze and Xu Xiao Tian?
How do you know of these two people? Did someone come looking for you?
No, it's just a rumor.
Peng, Xu and I are sacrifices from troubled times. I've long heard about the skills of the two,
who are heroes of a generation.
However, the masters we serve are different. Hence, we can only talk with our swords.
Hopefully this would all change once I hand over the Nine Turns Luminous Night Pearl.
Then I would be able to reunite with you and have a blissful marriage.
Hong Xiao Dong Investigative Agency Then what's the last memory you had before you left the Ming dynasty?
What Xian Er has said about having left the Ming dynasty, I do not understand.
I remember the night I left as if it was yesterday.
Xian Er was playing a farewell song on the zither, while crying.
My god, Xian Er again?
Let me ask you about the last time. How did you travel time?
I boarded the boat bound for the city, prepared to traverse over the seas and to mountains to acquire the Nine Turns Luminous Night Pearl, and Xian Er came to see me off.
I know, I know.
Find Xian Er and find the Nine Turns Luminous Night Pearl. Then live a blissful married life with Xian Er, right?
Xian Er, you understand now.
You talked about it for a whole night. I can almost memorize it!
Where is that music coming from?
What?
This song is the farewell song that you played.
I don't see you playing, but I can hear it.
Who is playing it?
This.
I'm tired even if you're not.
Is this my room?
I'm sorry! Are you okay?
Wait, I'll give this to you for now.
Don't tell anyone.
Hey! Uncle! Get out of my way!
Where did Uncle go? I have to keep looking.
Chase-Chase-Chase.
It's so early.
What.
I saw this already.
Director Yang's wife just texted me. She said she won't pay the rest of the fees.
How did this happen?
- It must be Director Yang's work again.. - Do you want revenge?
They're here.
Director Yang. Your wife has already found evidence of your infidelity and she has filed for a divorce. What are your thoughts on this?
Director Yang, according to a reliable source, you have broken up with your mistress,
but she intends to divulge the details of your relationship. What are your thoughts?
No comment.
Hey, Director Yang! What did you do to that uncle?
Director Yang, you have so many assassins as bodyguards,
do you just kill all the people you don't like?
Hey! You can throw my microphone and disrupt my cameraman,
but your actions have already affected the stocks of your company. Please say something to the audience.
Be careful.
Get prepared.
Hiding behind this mask as a philanthropist, Director Yang's private life and character are both suspicious.
Director Yang has also not given a response. The above is a report by Zhang Xian Ting.
Here. You look thirsty. Have a drink.
It's difficult to drink like this. My hands are hurting. May I hold the cup myself? I promise I'll be good.
Alright, seeing that your handcuffed hands are red.
Hey!
Bring him in!
Yo, man!
Thanks! Luckily you were here.
What happened?
- Officer Wu.- A person who betrayed your trust.
Ke Shang, kindness is one of your strengths, but also your weakness.
I have told you many times. You can't be like that treating criminals.
I admit my mistake.
- Xiao Dong, let's talk inside. - Alright.
It's okay. We learn from experience.
I just finished interviewing Director Yang and these men are following me.
These black-clothed men must be related to Director Yang's bodyguards.
The men in black who took the uncle away must be from the same group.
Have a seat.
Xiao Dong, what brought you here today?
I just wanted to ask Officer Wu if the station needs extra help. I have some free time to help out a little.
Of course you can! I have mentioned it so many times previously, but you were never willing. Why the sudden change of mind?
An expected income into the investigative agency was suddenly cancelled, and the agency also had a lot of expenses so...
- Okay, no matter the reason, I'm willing to accept your help. I've been waiting for a long time. - Thank you, Officer Wu.
That's great! My good buddy is finally returning!
Only being a support officer.
Ke Shang, Xiao Dong is coming back to help. You, as an official police officer, have to buck up, okay.
Yes, sir.
Director Yang, what did you do to the uncle?
Director Yang, you have so many assassins as bodyguards around you,
do you get rid of everyone around you whom you do not like?
Isn't this Chase-Chase-Chase? She has guts, huh?
What guts? From what I see, she's looking for trouble for herself.
Hiding behind the mask of a philanthropist, Director Yang's private life and character are suspicious.
Grandpa!
I'm sorry but have you seen a man around 50 years old in this area?
He has a bit of a hunchback and has a few men in black around him.
Oh, I haven't seen him. Please find out from someone else.
Thank you!
I'm sorry. I would like to ask if the two of you have seen...
Xiao Dong, have you heard about the world's jewelry exhibition?
- Yes, I've heard.- Come with me.
You have broken up with your mistress, but she intends to divulge the details of your relationship—
No comment.
Director Yang, what have you done to that uncle?
During the world's jewelry exhibition, I hope you'll help in securing the area.
From reports, an international smuggling group have set their sights on this exhibition.
Especially someone named David. He is notorious but no one has ever caught him.
David? You mean the internationally wanted jewelry thief?
That's him. The department head is worried because the exhibition will start soon.
Okay, we'll see how we can collaborate then.
No, we haven't seen him.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Uncle, are you okay?
Who is Xu Fei?
Seaside City is so big.
Where can I find both of you?
Chase-Chase-Chase, your performance today wasn't too bad.
Hong Xiao Dong, someone is following me.
What?
Where are you? I'll be there right away.
Who sent you guys here?
Where's the uncle kidnapped by you people?
Say it! Where did you bring that uncle?
What do you guys want?
- What's that needle you're holding? Let go of me! Let go of me! Let go of me!
Is that a shirt?
David, I'd advise you not to commit the same mistakes as this woman,
or else you're seeking trouble for yourself.
You doing this to a woman,
has no class at all. You've brought down the level of our organization.
David, I've had it with you. Although Boss says not to kill you, I can still teach you a lesson.
I'll report to the superiors that you saved that woman. You will bear all the consequences. Let's go!
Let go of her! Let go of that girl!
I'll look for you again next time.
Hey.
Chase-Chase-Chase. Chase-Chase-Chase. Chase-Chase-Chase. Wake up! Xian Ting!

Don't die!
I won't die!
Are you okay?
That's weird. How can she hear my thoughts?
Exactly. Why can I hear your thoughts?
He didn't move his mouth but I really heard his voice.
You can hear? Or did you guess?
You heard? How did you hear?
That's weird. What does this strange lady want?
Who are you calling a strange lady?
You can actually hear it?
Are you a ventriloquist? How can I hear your voice without you moving your mouth?
That's weird. Can she read minds?
I got it, right?
So you use your superpowers to listen to people's secrets.
And you call yourself a "professional detective."
It's very dangerous here. You should go home.
Hey!
Hey, Hong Xiao Dong. Why do you have this ability?
And why can this ability transfer to someone else?
I don't why I have this ability, nor do I know where it came from.
I don't know why it transferred on to you, either!
What color do you like?
Red! I see it. It's red, right?
So it can be used like this...
This strange lady just almost died. How can she turn into a reporter right away?
Don't think about yelling at me. This ability is very handy and you can use it for a lot of things.
What are you the most afraid of?
You have such a big build but you're afraid of mice? That's so embarrassing!
Then let me ask you. Since you like digging into others' private matters so much,
how did you end up being Miss Chase-Chase-Chase?
Because you got the chance to interview the mayor but you poured water on him instead.
And always offend the people you interview.
No wonder you became Miss Chase-Chase-Chase!
Okay, if you want to do it that way, let's dig together!
Awesome, it's your first day today. I'm proud of you.
That man looks so familiar.
Do you see this? It's called an album. The pictures I took with my dad.
He's your dad? You stopped being an officer because of your dad?
Hello, Dad?
Hello, is this a family member of Mr. Hong Chang Xi?
I am. Is something wrong?
Mr. Hong was sent to Seaside hospital and is currently undergoing emergency treatment.
Let go. It's none of your business.
- Hong Xiao Dong.- Don't touch me.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Heroic Team @ Viki
Is Hong Xiao Dong gone?
It's all my fault. To get what I needed for the interview,
I forgot that other people have sad stories that they don't want to talk about.
I've never seen him so sad.
If people found out about my depressing stories,
I would be mad as well. Zhang Xian Ting,
because you're so insensitive, that's how you ended up becoming Chase-Chase-Chase
You... Are still willing to give me a ride?
I'm unwilling to. I don't want to, but the Black Clothes are everywhere. I've probably been targeted by Director Yang.
This is the kind of person I am. If my friend is in trouble, I will help, even if the person made me really angry.
- Thank you. - I'm warning you. From now on, don't say any more nonsense,
and don't tell anyone that I have superpowers. Do you understand?
Get on.
Hey! Didn't I just say? Don't touch me, even if you're really scared.
Seaside City Museum will hold the World Jewelry Exhibition next week.
This exhibit will display precious pearls of the past and present from all over the world.
From the "Snake-eye Stone" of India to the jewels on the crowns of Ancient Greece and Rome,
all will be displayed in the exhibition hall behind me.
In a moment, we will chase, chase, chase.
Wow! Master, you're too good. My turn, my turn!
- This won't work, you need to use this. - I can do it, too.
Master, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
That was a tragic sight. It could not be prevented.
Lady Mo Han, if I am guessing correctly,
you are a rare sight to behold. Someone who is completely unsuited to learn martial arts skills.
Am I that bad?
So it's a dream for me to help Xiao Dong Ge?
Please, please, please. I beg you.
You... You're not that bad.
You hit me, which means you have some skill.
And now, you need to continue practicing. Who knows?
Next time, you might be able to hit him.
He's right. You will have succeeded once you hit me.
Okay, I'll keep practicing.
Xiao Dong Ge!
Xiao Dong Ge, Xian Ting Jie! You're back! What do you want to eat tonight?
I'm not hungry.
Xian Ting, what's up with Xiao Dong?
I'll tell you later.
Master, do you want a drink? I'll pour you some juice.
It's fine.
You look tired. I'll give you a massage.
Are you trying to see or hear what I'm thinking?
There's nothing. Is your mind blank?
I'm thinking about why you're so annoying.
- Hey, you—- Ah, so you really didn't see.
If you saw, you would probably be really mad.
That's great. It's good that you didn't hear.
So this ability has a time limit?
