Crossing Hero~Episode 17~
If they could escape from the most guarded jail in Seaside City,
this whole thing is not a simple matter.
Is it possible that there is some on the inside?
You think so, too?
As you said, when those black-clothed men escaped, the doors were open
and the locks were not damaged.
So it's either they have a locksmith among them, or someone let them out on purpose.
Actually I really don't want to suspect any of my fellow officers,
but I really have no choice but to think that there is someone on the inside.
Ke Shang, this time my Detective Agency will definitely do our best to assist your investigation.
Xiao Dong, I will count on your help.
About Officer Wu...
I know. He is now being closely watched by the Sheriff.
Officer Wu didn't tell you everything, probably because he didn't want you to be worried.
Actually, not only the Sheriff is putting pressure on him. Even the Police Headquarters has said that
if Officer Wu can't capture those black-clothed men, he will be fired.
Fired?
They said Officer Wu should take the entire responsibility, as if he is a criminal or something.
They also said they will let the Special Unit take over the cases we have on hand.
I get so mad just thinking about it.

Zhang Xian Ting. Here.
This is…?
This is the reward for your exclusive news.
This time you've done a great job.
Everyone, let's give Xian Ting a round of applause!
This time you did really great.
A lot of viewers left messages on our website, saying you are a news reporter who is both beautiful and intelligent.
This episode of news… No...
This piece of news' viewing rate point is so high
that even its replays are doing well.
Congratulations! Your effort has finally shown results.
What do you mean?
Because of your excellent performance this time, you can now finally cover the kind of news you want.
Earlier didn't I ask you to investigate the news about the missing Ming Imperial Guards from the ancient painting?
You need to keep working on it.
Now the topic of time-travel is getting more and more trendy.
Haven't you heard that "Scarlet Heart" is making a sequel now? ("Scarlet Heart" is a popular Chinese drama.)
But… Brother Peng and Brother Xu are my friends.
I can't reveal their secret.
Since they came to Seaside City, a lot of strange things have indeed happened.
Xian Ting? Zhang Xian Ting?
Zhang Xian TIng!
Station Manager, what is it?
Didn't you once show me your camera?
Didn't you say that there are two time-traveling Ming Imperial Guards and that this will definitely be big news?
That...
This time I'm willing to believe you.
Keep going after those two Imperial Guards that time-traveled to Seaside City, okay?
Hong Xiao Dong.
Station Manager, I have to work on my next news story now. I've got to go.
Do your best.
Bye-bye!
Hello, Xiao Dong. What's the matter?
So… Xiao Dong left us a cell phone,
saying he will call us when something happens.
But why hasn't he called yet?
Xiao Dong?
Hello? Xiao Dong?
Brother Peng, I need some backup. Could you come and meet me here?
Certainly. Where are you?
Xiao Dong, where are you?
Uh… Are you alright?
I'm fine. I've also notified Xian Ting, too.
Brother Peng and Brother Xu, please come here to meet up with me. I need backup.
Sure!
Okay.
Great! Finally, something to do.
Let's get ready and go.
Miss Mo Han,
aren't you coming with us?
Right. I should go and help Xiao Dong Ge. I should go.
Miss Mo, now that you have accomplished the martial art I taught you, are you pleased?
Senior Master...
Do you know what the highest level of martial art is?
It is to practice one's mind.
Only when your mind is at peace, may you compete and fight with others.
I'm sorry, Senior Master, right now I...
Miss Mo, actually, you didn't do anything wrong.
It's just that your mind is not placid and you need to find a way to steady it.
Since we do need someone to stay behind at the Detective Agency,
perhaps you should stay here.
Don't worry. If anything happens, we will inform you with Xiao Dong's cell phone.
Alright. Excuse us, we need to go now.
Helping Xiao Dong Ge has always been the thing I wanted to do the most,
but now, every time when I see him and Xian Ting together,
my heart aches.
How am I to fight side by side with Xiao Dong Ge like this?
I'm so useless.
What's going on now?
Where is Mo Han?
Is she not coming? I thought she was looking forward to her first mission?
Miss Mo said she has something on her mind,
so she will stay behind at the Detective Agency.
That's right.
Those black-clothed men escaped.
Wh-what?
David also said he is working on the next evil plan.
At first I thought he was just bluffing,
but I didn't expect something would happen, and now these black-clothed men are gone.
Since we can't find those men, we will find David first.
Xiao Tian, didn't you have David's phone number?
Why don't you give him a call and ask him to come out?
But I already gave him back the cell phone.
Brother Xu, didn't you call him often during those days?
You must remember the number somehow, right?
That's true. Try to recall it.
That's right, then we'll be able to find David.
The problem is… When I called him,
I just turned on the phone and his name would show up.
I just hit "dial" and the call was made. I never saw the number.
Brother Xu, even if it was a direct dial, you might have glanced at the number listed above.
Can you try to recall?
Think… Think...
Xiao Tian, in the past we practiced how to quickly memorize enemy secret codes.
Did you forget how?
It's not that, Big Bro. The problem is, I didn't see him as a bad guy.
Brother Xu, this is a very important clue for us.
Please try again.
Wait, don't talk. Let me think.
Anything yet?
09!
After that?
- 09!- What's after that?
Then…
Then I can't remember anything.
Big Brother, all the cell phone numbers in Seaside City begin with "09," okay?
Never mind, at least we know where David's base is.
Let's just head straight there.
As to you, don't be a hero.
Watch out for your own safety, understand?
There is something going on between you two.
This is nothing. The other day we saw their faces this close...
Okay! Let's go! Right now. Come on!
You...
Wait!
The door is not closed.
Watch out for any traps!
Xiao Tian!
- No one is here?- Where is David?
- David has left.- Where is David?
- Why? Where is the entrance?
David!
That David… Xiao Tian,
can you remember his phone number now?
Cell phone number? What's after 0-9?
I can't remember...
- This is weird.- Never mind.
Wait...
8!
3-8!
No, no. It should be...
8 - 3...
Can't remember after "8 -3" now.
Never mind. Give it a break.
Perhaps when you stop thinking about it, you'll remember later.
That's right. After we get back, I will watch some TV, take a cold shower,
and then eat something. Perhaps I will remember then.
I'm sure you'll remember it if I also give you some pizza and ice cream.
That's right! Also fried chicken and beer. He knows.
Looks like you're very used to modern people's life now.
Compared to our Ming dynasty, life in Hai Bin City is so much more convenient.
To contact someone, just call on the cell phone. To go somewhere, just drive a car.
There are hamburgers to eat. Most importantly, when it is hot, you can turn on the air.
- Enough, Xiao Tian.- No...
Air conditioner.
Xiao Tian, don't get too comfortable here.
We still have a mission to complete.
Once we're back, we still need to report to the Emperor.
Earlier didn't I ask you to investigate the news about the missing Ming Imperial Guards from the ancient painting?
You need to keep working on it.
Now the topic of time-travel is getting more and more trendy.
Going back? You're from the ancient time.
You don't even know how you got here. How are you going to go back?
Brother Peng, I once saw an old painting.
There are two people on the painting dressed like you and Brother Xu.
An ancient painting? What kind of painting?
It's a painting with three people having tea under a gazebo.
But only both of your faces are shown.
How come I never heard you mention this before?
Well, I just suddenly remembered it.
Do the people in the painting look like them?
Yes. Very alike.
I have a copy in my computer. I'll show it to you when we get back.
Why did you suddenly bring this up?
I just suddenly remember that Station Manager wanted me to interview the Imperial Guards.
Of course I know that's impossible and I will never do it, now.
However, even though they're very used to the modern life,
Brother Peng just said they still need to go back, no matter what.
That's true. Since they're used to the life here right now,
we should just let them do what they want to do and let them be happy,
because they don't even know if they can go back or not.
This… How do you…?
Wow! Zuo You Shou!
- You've made a lot of progress in such a short amount of time. You can do it!- I'm just okay.
- In English, it's "very good!"- Yes!
Right now I just need to insert this then it will be done. Here we go.
- Zuo You Shou, what happened? - Did the circuit breaker trip?
I've tried many times. Not only the circuit breaker of our office would trip,
all circuit breakers within 5 km would trip, too.
Every time when I insert this switch, it will trip for a second.
It's very strange. I only found out today when I watched TV.
But, Zuo You Shou,
didn't you say it still needs a few things before it can be turned on?
That's still true, but right now it is already giving out electricity.
If eventually we do find its switch, the power of this Life Turning Instrument is unthinkable.
Masters, are you sure you never heard of anything called Life Turning Instrument back in the Ming dynasty?
Never heard of it.
However...
Earlier Zuo You Shou talked about something called ionosphere and magnetosphere,
which I don't understand.
But judging by the look of it, there are a lot of things we yet need to find out.
I wonder what other function this Life Turning Instrument has.
No matter what it is, we ought to be careful.
Because we don't know the function of the Life Turning Instrument,
we should leave it to Zuo You Shou. After all, he has made quite a lot of progress
Thank you.
Who cooked these?
Look so delicious. Why don't we eat now? We can figure things out later.
Is Miss Mo back?
That's right! Where is Mo Han?
I haven't seen her since we came back.
She told me she was going to cook, then she was gone.
The plate is still warm, so she is not far away.
I'll look for Mo Han.
Xiao Dong Ge, I'm fine. Don't worry.
Be careful when you go home tonight. Thank you for the dinner.
Hung up already?
You didn't even ask me if I have eaten yet.
When Xian Ting went to work by herself, you were all worried.
If Xian Ting is out by herself, you will definitely….
definitely rush back and see if she is alright...
Mo Han.
Ke Shang Ge, why have you come?
Don't be sad. I won't tell anyone.
Is it because of Xiao Dong?
I always thought, as long as I keep staying by Xiao Dong Ge's side,
someday he will find out what I've done for him.
I even practiced martial arts for him.
From the very beginning, he only treats me as a younger sister.
Don't be sad.
Actually… There are things that can't be forced.
That's not true!
It's true.
You know, I've thought about it.
If I were as smart and handsome as Xiao Dong, perhaps Officer Wu would treat me more seriously.
I wouldn't need Xiao Dong's help when I'm out investigating.
You mean… You wish you'd become Xiao Dong Ge?
But I am not Xiao Dong.
I understand.
Xiao Dong Ge likes Xian Ting.
So what if I become more like Xian Ting?
Perhaps Xiao Dong Ge doesn't simply like Xian Ting.
- He probably just likes that type of smart and capable women, just like Xian Ting.- Mo Han...
I have to do my best to be more like Xian Ting.
- What I meant was—- I need to appear in a new image in front of Xiao Dong Ge. He will definitely fall for me!
- I mean—- Tomorrow I need to get ready.
Ke Shang Ge, thank you! Truly, thank you!
They must be Brother Peng and Brother Xu, for sure.
In this painting, according to the historian we've been working with,
are two highly skilled Imperial Guards.
What case are these two investigating?
How did they fly away and disappear?
There are so many questions that can't be explained.
It should be in this painting.
Brother Peng and Brother Xu time-traveled here from the Ming dynasty,
it is about time to let them learn the history after Ming.

Well… Xiao Tian.
What's the matter? You didn't sleep last night?
Big Brother, do you really want to go back?
What did you say?
I was saying… What if we really can't find a way back?
I think Hai Bin City is kind of nice.
There are so many friends here,
and...
And that beautiful Miss Xu Fei?
No, Big Brother, you misunderstand me.
I'm just thinking, since we don't know how to get back anyway.
Hanging out with these people everyday,
it's a pretty happy life.
That's true.
Xiao Tian, don't think so much about it.
Since you stayed up all night, why not go back to sleep now?
What's the matter now?
Big Brother, as soon as I close my eyes,
those digits "0-9-3-8" swirl in my head.
You! You're just like how you were as a kid.
Well, when you like Miss Xu Fei, then you are completely obsessed.
Now we ask you to recall a phone number, look at you, you were tormented throughout the whole night.
I know. I've always been so stubborn since I was little.
I can't even remember a phone number? So vexing!
No way, no...
An Illustrated Chinese History
I wonder if Brother Peng could handle this?
I know I can remember it. I definitely can remember it.
What? So you won't sleep because you can't remember it?
Xiao Tian! What's the matter? Are you alright?
Big Brother,
you are holding me so tight, it hurts.
Exactly what was the matter?
You said I'm stubborn, but I'll say that you're oversensitive.
I only stayed up one night,
I'm as strong as a cow. No problem!
No problem? Then what was all the shouting about?
Big Brother, I remember David's phone number now.
David?
I will call him right now.
Er… David? Is this David?
Brother Xu?
Yes, this is Xu Xiao Tian.
Xiao Dong would like to meet with you.
He has something important to discuss with you.
Has Xian Ting ever talked about me?
Miss Xian Ting? Not at all.
Unless Xian Ting wants to see me, I won't.
How could you say so, David?
Brother Xu. That's all. Good bye.
Hello?
He hung up already?
Was that person sitting there before?
Miss Xian, why are you looking so flustered?
I think someone was following me.
What? Where? I'll go.
Wait! That's okay. I think he realized that I've found out, so he stopped following me.
Never mind.
This guy is not stupid.
Where is Xiao Dong Ge?
He went to help out at the police station.
Probably about Director Yang and the black-clothed men.
Miss Xian, could it be possible that the person who followed you was David?
Why do you think it's him?
It's definitely him!
Do you know? Just now we gave him a call.
All he talked about was you.
Me?
He said… Unless you want to see him, he will never show up.
Miss Xian, I need to ask something I shouldn't ask.
Is David... pursuing you?
Let's… Let's not talk about this.
Brother Xu and Brother Peng, I bought this Illustrated Chinese History book for you.
I thought you might want to know what has happened in the last few hundred years that you missed.
Thank you, Miss.
Look! This book is very well made, very exquisite and beautiful.
Yes, yes.
Miss Xian Ting. In this book, there are also what you called… Photos!
That's right. Photos.
Look, Xiao Tian. Our Imperial Guards are also mentioned.
Yes, Big Brother. This horse looks quite healthy and strong.
It can be compared with my Lightening Fast horse.
After our Emperor ascended the throne, the country was full of riches and people lived in peace.
The prosperous Yongle era was thus established.
Soon the Yongle Encyclopedia was also completed. Quite a marvelous achievement for our Ming dynasty.
The Emperor is all divine and wise.
The fall of the Ming dynasty?
This… This… This….
Who would think our mighty Ming dynasty
would be destroyed by those inferior, barbaric Jurchen people?
No...
Brother Xu! Calm Down, Brother Xu!
Brother Xu! Wait… Brother Peng, what are you doing?
Your Majesty…
We have failed you!
We're not able to return the Nine Turns Luminous Night Pearl,
leading to the downfall of our Ming dynasty!
Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty!- How could...
My god!
- Your Majesty!- Your Majesty!
Where is Mo Han? Mo Han!
- Hey, Zuo You Shou! Hurry! Where is Mo Han?- What… What's up?
Mo Han? When I was fixing the Life Turning Instrument last night, she called and said she would take a day off today.
Take a day off?
Oh, no! What should I do now?
What happened to those two? Did you bully them?
Of course, I didn't! You go! You go and comfort them. Hurry!
Comfort them? But this… This...
Are you okay?
You're so annoying!
Are you okay? Everything's alright?
What does this have to do with you?
Me? Because she asked me to comfort you.
Your Majesty!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Heroic Team @ Viki
Are you done with this "Police Chase Thief" game yet?
Officer Wu, I need my lawyer. Otherwise, there is nothing we can talk about.
I already called your lawyer and he resigned.
That's alright. Among my bodyguards, one of them has knowledge of laws.
All the problems can be handed over to him.
What bodyguard?
Just bring them here and you'll know.
All of your bodyguards have already escaped.
Those so called loyal bodyguards who are not only efficient killers,
but also have a background in laws, have all deserted you.
How could youngsters these days do things this way?
Too ridiculous!
They didn't even notify you before they left.
At least, they should have handed you a resignation letter.
These are the killing machines that you trained yourself.
They just ran away like this,
without letting you know. This is just not right.
I didn't train them!
Give me a break.
We already found out that you used to be a firearms trader.
If you didn't train those mercenaries who betrayed you, who else?
I… I don't know.
A friend of mine introduced them to me. It's true.
It was through a friend.
I think you're just trying to get away from the responsibility.
I really don't know.
My friend told me they are the best bodyguards in the world.
Some of them have exceptional skills.
Then how long have they been working for you?
Don't you own shares of that bodyguard company?
More than ten years now.
I can't meet with their boss directly,
it was always through a middleman.
All I know is these bodyguards are merciless and they always achieve their goals.
I'm very satisfied. So once I heard there was a chance to invest in this company, I bought the shares.
However I really don't know more than that.
You don't know? It's all bullsh*t!
They always listen to me, so I never suspect them of anything.
They took care of all my itineraries
and my life.
Even part of my business is handled by them.
How could they do this to me? How could they?
Director Yang. Director Yang, are you okay?
Normally I regularly took the medicine these bodyguards gave me.
What kind of medicine?
Stop acting! As a cop for so many years, I've seen this many times.
Pretending to be sick so you can avoid the interrogation?
Tell me! Where are those black-clothed men?
I really don't know. I really, really don't know.
I really don't know. Really.
Zhu Ke Shang! Come and help me!
Emperor!
Hey, did you really tell these Ming dynasty people Chinese history?
I didn't know their reaction would be this strong.
Brothers, don't be sad.
People die.
Even if your emperor passed away, it's quite normal.
But you have no idea!
Our mighty Ming dynasty turned out to be destroyed by those barbaric Jurchen people.
It was terminated!
No matter how I try to comfort them, this is the only thing they say to me.
Your Majesty!
Five times you personally led the army to conquer the enemies.
Yet the successors failed to maintain your achievement for you!
And this one, too.
Don't be sad.
Brother Xu!
Brother Xu, why is your face so red?
Your face.
Knowing our Ming dynasty had ended, I'm so distressed that I might die!
So distressed, I might die!
- Okay, okay. Sit down.- Of course my face is red.
Xiao Tian...
When I was in the police station, Director Yang's symptom was quite similar to Brother Xu's.
Brother Xu, are you feeling unwell?
Are you unwell?
I'm perfectly fine. I'm just…. Sad.
This Life Turning Instrument is so tricky!
How come I have a feeling that this Life Turning Instrument is like an untimed bomb?
We don't know what danger will come next.
That's right. A startup switch is missing.
Without it, this Life Turning Instrument is like some other machines,
that keep releasing electricity and pressure.
If we want it to work, we need a few more parts.
This is so problematic.
Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian?
If you don't feel well, tell me. What's wrong with your face?
Every part of my body is feeling fine,
except that our Ming dynasty had ended,
so my heart aches and I ran out of tears from crying.
Xiao Tian's mood is unsteady and his face is flushed red.
Could it be?
Ke Shang, what did you just say about Director Yang's symptoms?
It was strange.
He said he hasn't taken the medicine those bodyguards used to give him for a while now.
Medicine? What kind of medicine can that be?
I don't know.
I'll call Xiao Dong and let him know.
Your Majesty...
Your Majesty!
Brother Peng, Brother Xu! You've been crying for hours!
You won't understand.
Why did Mo Han have to take a day off?
He is burning hot. How could this be?
I don't know. When I sent the meal over, he was already like this.
Okay, I see. You may go now.
Long Long, what exactly is Director Yang's situation?
Director Yang has probably been poisoned.
Poisoned?
Did those black-clothed men come back to poison him after they escaped?
Trying to kill him?
It's not recent.
Judging from the drug density in the blood sample, this is something that has accumulated for years.
Director Yang must have been fed this kind of poison and he never found out.
Could it be these people hired by this big villain were actually trying to harm him?
Based on Director Yang's symptom, this poison has very unique characteristics.
If you take it regularly, you'll feel fine.
But once you stop, the symptoms begin to show.
Can it be treated?
I just gave him a shot, but it will only temporarily relieve the symptoms.
So it's either, keep taking the poison to maintain body function,
or find the antidote.
Otherwise...
Otherwise?
Otherwise, he will soon die.
Director Yang told us
that those black-clothed men handled everything about his life.
Most chronic poisoning cases are done by people known to the victims.
So their goal is
to control Director Yang?
That's very possible.
If it really is the case, this is serious.
I need to notify Officer Wu right away.
Brothers, don't cry any more.
Aren't you tired from crying so long?
- Brother Xu!- Xiao Tian!
Brother Xu!
He is okay. He must have fainted from excessive grief. Give me a hand.
Here.
Is Brother Xu alright?
Xiao Tian!
Xiao Tian, you're awake?
Xiao Tian!
Big Brother, what happened to me?
It's okay. You fainted.
Xiao Tian, the Ming dynasty had ended,
but you still have your Big Brother. Hang in there.
Big Brother, I'm sorry.
I made you worried.
No way would I have imagined
that the god-like Emperor would pass away.
More than two hundred years after he passed away,
the Ming dynasty also ended.
Brother Xu's face is turning red again!
Xiao Tian, relax! Xiao Tian!
Remember, you and I will always be together.
Okay?
It will be alright.
If Director Yang's symptoms are related to those black-clothed men,
then those black-clothed men must...
Long Long, come to the secret sickroom to visit those black-clothed men.
The test result is here.
What is it?
They match.
In this person's blood, we also found the same substance that poisoned Director Yang.
He also took the same poison,
but the drug is still in effect, so no symptoms yet.
I need to check other people's blood, too.
This is strange. Do they all use the drug as a group?
Xian Ting Jie! Xian Ting Jie!
Mo Han, didn't you take a day off?
That's right.
Your clothes...
How is it? Just like yours.
I bought them today. Does it look good?
But why do you want to wear clothes just like mine?
Because...
Why are you here?
Ke Shang Ge?
Something happened, and I need to talk to Xiao Dong in person.
What kind of thing?
Mo Han, why are your clothes…
Just like Xian Ting's clothes, right?
I decided that I will be like Xian Ting, from now on.
I bought these today, in Xian Ting style!
Why do you have to do this?
Because Xiao Dong Ge likes the way Xian Ting looks,
so I thought...
Mo Han! Don't you know the way you normally look is already very perfect and beautiful?
Is this what you meant when you said you wanted to learn from Xian Ting?
Don't I look good?
Of course not.
The way you normally are is very good already.
Trust me.
What Hong Xiao Dong likes is the always thoughtful, guileless and lovely Mo Han.
Mo Han, both of your masters are crying badly on the rooftop.
What? They are still crying?
Yes.
What happened to them?
Because… I showed them a book called… Illustrated Chinese History.
I'll go and take a look.
Your Majesty,
your subordinates have failed you.
We couldn't do our duties for our mighty Ming.
Your Majesty...
I don't understand.
Why does Director Yang have the same symptoms as those black-clothed men in the secret sickroom?
I can only imagine all of these are related to the medicine given by the black-clothed men.
The kind of poison in Director Yang and those black-clothed men seems to be the same.
Therefore, the one who poisoned them is...
Their boss.
Your Majesty!
Hong Xiao Dong, are you alright?
Brother Xu's current condition is very similar to Director Yang's.
I'm wondering, if he somehow already got the poison back in the Ming dynasty.
Poisoned?
Actually I can tell that Brother Peng worries about Brother Xu.
He must have noticed that something is wrong with Brother Xu.
Your Majesty...
Brother Peng, may I speak to you for a second?
Sorry to interrupt your worship.
I'm just wondering why Brother Xu shows symptoms of being poisoned.
David!
Why are you here again?
I want to ask you one more time.
Are you willing to be together with me?
No matter how many times you ask me,
my answer will always be "impossible"!
"Ambush on All Sides"
Masters.
Xi Dong, the jewelry thief just came. Let's go after him.
- Okay.- Let's go!
Do I look like Xian Ting this way?
Actually… I like the way you were, better.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Heroic Team @ Viki
How does a man become so forlorn and melancholy?
This thief doesn't look like his usual self.
True. After observing him since last night,
it looks like David really has fallen in love with Miss Xian Ting.
May I ask who Miss Xian Ting is?
Well... Miss Xian Ting is the lady David admires. You don't know her.
Even though David's behavior is deplorable, at least he still has feelings.
On the way here, you mentioned that David is working on a dark plan.
Later let's reason with him and see if we can find out anything.
Let's go.
You should just kill me.
I don't have a reason to keep living anyway.
We don't want to kill you right now.
We just want to talk to you.
Talk to me?
Hong Xiao Dong, stop pretending.
My name is Hong Xi Dong. You have mistaken me as someone else.
Transformed?
Transform?
So, David, listen to me.
"There are beautiful flowers all over the world,(A quote from a Song Dynasty poem)
why fix your affection on a single flower only?"
Brother Xu,
if I ask you to give up Xu Fei, will you be able to do it?
Of course not!
Although there are beautiful flowers all over the world,
Xu Fei is the one I can't live without.
David, in one's life,
it's inevitable to experience the situation of being rejected.
As a well-built, grown man,
you ought to offer your service to the Emperor's Court, and to fight evils and bring peace.
How could you forget your responsibilities because of some private matter and feelings?
I hope you'll discern right from wrong, and not be part of the dark force any more.
Anyway, even if I'm still alive, time is running out.
What do you mean by "time is running out?"
He is gone.
Where is he?
This guy!
This object is so transparent. What is it for?
This? This is called beer.
After I earn money here in Hai Bin City, I will treat you some.
Beer?
It tastes great.
When you take a sip, thousands of bubbles will shoot right through your brain.
But, of course, if you drink too much of it, you'll get drunk.
Big Brother, David was gone in a flash again.
What should we do now?
Brother Peng, what did David say?
I already recorded everything.
Xiao Dong!
So that's what David said?
Perhaps I should pretend to agree to David's request?
Otherwise, we don't know what kind of things he will do.
Definitely not. What if, after you agreed,
he still works for the black-clothed men?
Xiao Tian. Are you feeling unwell?
Tell me.
Big Brother, why do you keep asking about my health lately?
I'm fine. Don't worry.
Then why aren't you sleeping?
It has been quite a few days since I last saw Miss Xu Fei.
So it is because of her.
Her big bright eyes
and long, slim legs
really make me feel restless.
Just as the saying goes, no hero can resist the charm of a beautiful lady.
Look at David. See how much he fixes his feelings on Miss Xian Ting.
Mo Han also can't stop thinking about Xiao Dong.
And you...
Big Brother.
What's the matter? Just say it.
I'm thinking...
I'm thinking, since Miss Xu Fei wants to find Locksmith Wan,
I want to help her.
Xiao Tian.
Right now I can understand how you feel,
but Hai Bin City is so big, how are you going to find him?
I don't know.
But it is clear that Locksmith Wan is a very important person to Miss Xu Fei.
I definitely should help her find him no matter what.
Even if she doesn't like me,
I will definitely help her fulfill her wish.
Okay. I will also help you find him.
Okay?
Alright, go get some sleep now. Get some rest
and don't let me worry about you.
Xian Ting. I'm sorry.

- David— Xian Ting— David— Xian Ting—- What are you talking about?
No, what I wanted to say is, David kidnapped Xian Ting again!
What?
Why are you here? I clearly saw David took you!
It must be Mo Han who got kidnapped.
What?
Brother Xu, hurry! Give me David's phone number.
How come it's Mo Han?
David, if you dare touch Mo Han, I'll never let you off!
Hong Xiao Dong, don't worry. She is not my target.
Very soon I will bring Miss Mo Han back to the Detective Agency.
Why should I believe you?
David! David, are you there? David?
Can I talk to Xian Ting?
David!
Listen! You'd better hurry and bring our Miss Mo Han back!
David.
Brother Xu, don't worry.
Mo Han will be fine. David got the wrong person.
Sorry, Mo Han. I'll take you back.
That's alright.
Are you okay? Do you miss Xian Ting?
You only got rejected a few times.
I've liked Xiao Dong Ge for many years.
I have done a lot for him.
However, he has rejected my show of love hundreds of times.
I heard from Xiao Dong Ge that, if Xian Ting doesn't accept you,
you will do something very terrible?
Don't do that, please?
I feel, even if the person you like doesn't like you,
you can still be a happy, good, person.
A happy good man?
That's right! Be a good person and care about others.
A life that you can live with a clear conscience. Doesn't that sound good?
Mo Han, let me take you back.
Mo Han, did David do anything to you?
Xiao Dong, I think he just really likes Xian Ting.
He's not a bad person.
How is that possible?
And he told me that
he think Xian Ting likes you.
- How is that possible?- How is that possible?
-Who would like a person like him?-Who would like her?
Really?
- He's so annoying!- She's got no elegance!
That's it if you guys don't want to admit it.
Mo Han.
Mo Han!
Do you want to talk to me and chat it out?
You'll be in a better mood.
Come, here.
What are you doing?
Are you going to chat it out with Mo Han? You'll need the power to read her mind.
I'll lend it to you. Here.
Wait.
Girls don't need to read minds to chat.
Really?
It's fine if you don't need it then.
I thought she liked me.
Hey.
You're looking for an excuse to kiss me , right?
Aren't you thinking too much?
I thought he liked me.
Mo Han, why have you been weird after coming back from David's place?
Xian Ting, do you think David is a bad person?
I can't answer your question.
I think he's pitiful.
Someone should convince him subtly and not mention the bad things.
You're too naive. We don't even know who David's boss is yet.
Perhaps he doesn't have a choice.
After he realized that he took the wrong person, he looked so lonely and sad.
You're the most naive girl I've ever met.
I wanted to be like you, so that Xiao Dong would like me,
but he doesn't.
Who you originally were was good already. Really.
It wouldn't even work if I turned into you.
Don't talk about this.
Seeing David so sad today,
I think I should try to persuade him.
He can't give up on himself because you don't like him.
You really want to persuade him?
Really. I want to continue being the Mo Han Xiao Dong likes.
Where did the strong wind come from?
It almost blew my hair away.
What happened?
I inserted this in the wrong spot.
Huh?
Is this a miracle tool or an evil one?
One second it's an earthquake and it's strong wind the next. Why is it like this?
It hasn't been completed yet. That's why the things keep happening.
But once it is all put together, it's power will be immeasurable.
Big Brother, since it is called Life Turning Instrument,
maybe it can really transform people.
You... You be careful. Don't let it transform you.
I won't. If I were to transform, I would do it with you.
I would transform you into a girl.
I would transform you guys into girls as well.
Where is he?
How is it so strong?
Oh.
Stop complaining.
- It's so messy. How do we even clean this up?- We won't be able to finish.
Let's take a break.
Take a break? Okay, come.
Master, clean it up properly, or else Xiao Dong will yell when he comes back.
It's so messy. We should just...
Who are you? How did you get in?
K. I have something important to report to the boss.
Who did you say you are?
Are you guys idiots? You don't even recognize your boss.
Please come in.
K? We couldn't find out anything about you. I didn't expect you would come back.
Where have you been?
I met two men dressed as Ming dynasty Imperial Guards.
One of them even used an unique martial art form that was long lost,
called "Forget-it-all Lion's Roar."
My soul flew away, I lost my memory,
and I was kept in the hospital.
Imperial Guards? Forget-it-all Lion's Roar?
K, tell me the details.
- Hi, everyone. - Ke Shang.
Hi.
Mo Han, I'll help you.
No, it's fine. I'm almost done. Here, sit first.
Oh, okay.
Tell me if you need any help.
It's fine. Master threw out all the bigger pieces, so it's okay.
Don't these clothes belong to the Imperial Guards? Why are they here?
When I was reassembling the Life Turning Instrument, there were some gusty winds and earthquakes.
So this is killing me.
Yeah, that wind messed up the whole office.
We finally finished cleaning up. We're just temporarily putting that there.
Huh, that happened?
These aren't even girl clothes. Why are you looking at them so much? What are you staring at?
Ke Shang, why do you have that badge?
This is what Long-Long handed to me while I was in the secret sickroom.
This design has been on David and Black Clothes K for a long time.
How could that be? It actually looks the same.
Mo Han, do the Masters know about this?
I'll tell the Masters to come back.
Tell Xiao Dong and Xu Fei.
That's what happened. And I came right after I woke up.
Boss, David is here.
Talk. Why did you come back so late?
Because I fell in love with a girl that doesn't love me.
Boss, should I give the things to David?
Will you continue to be loyal to me?
Of course.
I'll trust you for now.
Other than David, everyone leave.
Okay.
Ke Shang, give me the work log from yesterday.
Okay.
Hello. Hello? Talk.
Hi, Officer Wu.
I told you not to call the office.
Officer Wu, are you going out?
Officer Wu! There's a meeting later. Officer Wu...
Never seen him looking so out of it.
Never mind. If the Sheriff asks later, I'll just say I don't know.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Heroic Team @ Viki
It's me. How is it going?
Really?
Hong Xiao Dong can read people's minds?
Isn't that Officer Wu?
Why would he appear here?
There's a lot that you don't know.
Officer Wu. The efficiency of the officer is high as expected.
You came with only one phone call.
Why did you ask me to come?
Officer,
isn't it normal to have a chat between friends?
Did anything happen to my wife and child?
Nothing happened.
They're precious to me. Without them,
you wouldn't be efficient at all.
What do you want? Don't beat around the bush.
It's easy.
I want you to get me something from the Detective Agency.
What is it?
The Life Turning Instrument.
With what excuse would I give to Xiao Dong to take it?
I only ask you to do the hard tasks.
Just use your position as an officer
and your connection with Hong Xiao Dong. Just use any excuse
to get it to my hands.
So you just want me to steal it from him?
Uh, it sounds like you aren't agreeing.
It looks like you're forgetting something.
Don't do anything to my wife and child!
What happens to your wife and child isn't on me. It's on you!
I'll do anything.
That's right.
You make it convenient for us.
That way we can take care of your wife and child.
I have a request. Let me see them.
This is easy. Not just meeting them, but you can have anything you want.
Just like I promised at first.
At first I let you pay for my wife and child to study and live abroad,
and then you forced me to do tasks that violated the law
and to allow your men to do all sort of bad things in Seaside City.
The bad things I've done have been enough.
The winner will be the king, and the loser will be the villain.
Whether this is good or bad depends on who wins and who loses.
As long as you're loyal to me, those things you consider as bad,
might not be a bad thing at all.
This should be done as soon as possible.
But before that, I should remind you.
Don't let Hong Xiao Dong touch you anywhere.
As I see it,
If Hong Xiao Dong touches any part of you,
he will see into your mind.
If he finds out about your mission and identity,
what do you think will happen to you?
And there are two martial arts experts at the Detective Agency.
Be careful before you make a move.
How did you know this?
I know too much.
The safety of your wife and child is not up to me,
but up to you!
Hong Xiao Dong Detective Agency
Mo Han.
Uncle Wu? What brings you here?
This is probably the first time you've come to our office.
-Are you alright?- I'm okay.
We never had a chance to introduce you. This is Brother Peng and this is Brother Xu.
Hello.
There are two highly skilled martial art masters.
Before you take action, you must be careful.
Uncle Wu, please take a seat. I'll make tea for you.
Big Brother, here.
Officer Wu, why did you suddenly come?
Do you have news about the black-clothed men? I'll call my Big Bro now.
Wait… Don't call him.
I just decided to stop by on my way somewhere. Nothing important. You don't need to call him.
I think I'd better call.
No! Really! No need.
Last time I had a meal with Xiao Dong,
but I never got to talk to Mo Han then. I'm here to see her.
How is the business these days?
It's alright.
Has Professor Sun contacted you guys lately?
Uncle Wu! Why are you asking about Yan Jun Ge? Is this related to the case?
No, I was only asking because I saw the Life Turning Instrument here.
Oh… Here, your tea.
Okay, thank you.
- Your Tea.- Thank you.
Nothing. Be careful.
Sorry, Uncle Wu. I was too careless.
No, it was my fault. I didn't catch it.
However, these two friends of yours seem very agile.
He was so fast, I didn't even see it.
Where did you bump into these two martial art masters?
- Let me tell you…- Wait...
These days, there is no such thing as martial art masters.
They are the… Martial art champions from Mainland China.
- That's right.- Mainland China?
That's right. Mainland China.
That's right…. Mainland China.
No wonder.
I've been thinking this looks very unique…
Just because this thing is very strange, I suggest you not touch it.
That's right. You definitely shouldn't touch it. It's very dangerous.
When you touch it, either electricity or earthquake things happen. A couple of days ago I even got electrified.
What exactly is this for?
I don't know. That's why I'm working on it.
Why not send it to the police station?
We have a research unit there, perhaps they can help.
Oh… This...
Officer Wu, you seem to be very interested in the Life Turning Instrument.
I just thought this thing is very strange.
What's so strange about it?
There are tons of strange things in Hai Bin City.
In English it is "just so-so."
Just so-so.
Big Brother, are you done playing Chinese Chess?
Zuo You Shou, come and sit here.
I'm busy here. I can't play with you.
I feel Officer Wu is acting weird.
Yes. Even though I don't know this person well,
I can tell that he came for the Life Turning Instrument.
You think so, too?
Therefore, no matter what he says,
we have to keep a close eye on the Life Turning Instrument and wait for Xiao Dong to come back
We definitely shouldn't let him suspect anything.
I'll go in first.
I think, he is a little uneasy about Xiao Tian's skill just now.
Stinky Hong Xiao Dong!
If you were here, then I could borrow your mind-reading power
and find out what Officer Wu is thinking.
If you hand over the Life Turning Instrument to the police, you'll be doing me a favor. Think about it.
But I told you it's very dangerous, why do you...
Mo Han, you know my character the best.
You won't worry about giving me the Life Turning Instrument, will you?
Yes? Sheriff— Yes.
Yes. I'll go back to the police station right now.
What's the matter? Something happened?
Sheriff wants me to go back right away.
I have to go. I'll stop by another day.
Okay.
Uncle Wu, bye-bye!
When Officer Wu came to the Detective Agency,
he received a call from the Sheriff. Did you arrange that?
Zuo You Shou told me that when I was not in the office,
Officer Wu himself came to ask about Life Turning Instrument.
I thought it was bizarre.
I also found out one thing.
Officer Wu's wife and his child
are not simply studying abroad.
They are actually being held by Black Tuxedo.
Really?
I didn't expect even Officer Wu is under Black Tuxedo's control.

When the mind is calm, wisdom rises. When the heart is aflutter, then stupidity emerges.
Xiao Tian, after studying martial arts for so many years,
can't you comprehend this yet?
Big Brother. I'm wondering,
how come the pattern of the black-clothed men's badge,
can be found on our Imperial Guard's uniform?
It's no use to think about it now.
Tomorrow we can discuss this when we meet with everyone.
But it really bothers me!
I think I was just born to worry about things all the time.
K. I want you to give Hong Xiao Dong a surprise attack right away,
but remember one thing.
I'll send backup waiting at the north, west and south sides.
No matter where Hong Xiao Dong and his gang run,
you will keep pursuing them no matter what!
Yes, sir.
