Who told you to meddle?
We already told you Huo Xiao isn't a good person.
People who hang around him can't be any good either.
You brought it upon yourself.
No, I still think--
I still think there's a misunderstanding somewhere.
One moment he is a good person and the next he's an asshole.
Sometimes, I really despise him.
That hurts!
Be gentle.
You really want to get involved?
Huo Xiao colluded with Mo Fan and caused such hardship for Director Li.
If you're speaking up for him, you're no good either!
No, I'm not speaking up for him.
I'm just proposing a hypothesis.
Then tell me, do you side with Huo Xiao or Director Li?
Of course I side with my Jenny.
My Jenny gets the last say.
That's more like it.
- Does it hurt? - Yes.
- Quick. - Just kiss me and it won't hurt.
There's someone here. I'll blow on it instead.
Is it better? Apply this.
- Oh, poor you. - Gently!
Let me blow on it.
Eat fruit before dinner.
Here, let's eat these first.
That's so much.
Don't drink any more or else you won't have room for food.
Eat first.
Who are you holding back for?
Who knew a charity dinner would have so much delicious food?
That's enough. Take note of your image.
Look at who else would pile a plate full of food like you.
You're so inexperienced.
If not for General Manager, I wouldn't have brought you here.
He wants to win us over with these petty favors?
No chance at all.
All right, you guys keep eating then.
Old Wan, there's more over there.
I'll get more later.
- This one's the best. - This is not bad either.
It's so good.
- Excuse me. - Go ahead.
How could we run into him here?
- Isn't that Mo Fan. - Yes.
General Manager Huo, you're all alone?
I heard you stole several orders from Chen Yi Du's company.
A big appetite you have.
Same with you.
We're friends. There's no need to be so distant.
Us?
Are we friends?
In business, there are no permanent friends
nor are there permanent enemies.
Only eternal interests.
I heard Chen Yi Du's company is prospering.
He bears grudges against both of us.
Aren't you afraid he will one day turn around and take us on?
No matter how prosperous he is
I think nothing of it.
Director Li?
This is all thanks to General Manager Huo.
Mr. Chen, Ms. Li, this is my private party.
I don't recall sending you an invitation.
Who invited you?
- Security. - Hold on.
Ms. Li and Mr. Chen are my guests.
Wei Wei, come with me.
Excuse me, everybody.
I have an important announcement to make.
Starting today
I will officially be the spokesperson for the clothing brand, Beginner's Mind.
- Beginner's Mind? What brand is that? - Have you heard of that brand?
Everybody, Beginner's Mind
is a new women's clothing brand created by me and Ms. Li Wei Wei.
Together, we will be the brand's Creative Directors.
In terms of our brand's style and positioning
Beginner's Mind will carry on with our consistent concepts.
Li Wei Wei was banned from the industry by the Fashion Industry Association.
How could you hire her to be Creative Director?
- Yes. - What were you thinking?
What? What's wrong with these people?
Exactly.
There is more to the framing incident than you know.
Ms. Li is innocent.
We have already petitioned the Fashion Industry Association
to reopen investigations.
Do you have evidence?
- Exactly. - She admitted to being guilty.
- That's right. - Let me speak.
How can you explain that?
I have not done anything to set up DU.
Whether you choose to believe me is of no importance to me.
If you have any issue with me
why don't you bring your work and see if you can measure up?
Yes! Well said!
- Come on! - Bring it on!
Wei Wei.
I have to speak to you.
I'll wait for you outside.
Ling Long's Creative Designer position has been left vacant for you.
Everybody is waiting for you to return.
My return does not mean the slate can be wiped clean.
I don't hope that you can forgive me
but Ling Long is the result of your life's work.
Are you giving up on it?
Of course I don't want all my efforts to go to waste.
But I am more unwilling to work together with the one who set me up.
The Fashion Industry Association has begun a new investigation.
I believe the truth will be revealed soon.
Sorry.
You sure do what you want.
I just drank your drink.
- One more. - Okay.
What?
Don't fight!
Stop fighting!
Calm down!
Stop fighting!
Stop!
What do you think you're doing?
Friends, I'm terribly sorry.
My buddy here has had too much to drink.
Sorry if he's offended you.
Take this and consider it compensation.
Are you all right?
You've done so much for Li Wei Wei
but she is now teaming up with Chen Yi Du against you.
It must be disappointing.
You get some credit for the way she and I are now.
The one you should thank the most is me.
I'm letting you come to your senses and see clearly sooner
whether Li Wei Wei is true to you.
Your relationship with her is clear to those with good sense.
It's more for personal benefit rather than love.
Stop fooling yourself.
The two of them are rushing at us in full fury.
Would you be interested in working together?
- What? - See for yourself.
Well? Aren't I saving the company a lot of money?
This is three times cheaper than the fabric we ordered before.
Is there a mistake?
How is that possible?
Look.
Look at this fabric. Isn't it exactly the same as what we used before?
It's so much cheaper. Could there be a problem with it?
Absolutely not.
Their factory is closing down so they are trying to clear their inventory.
It's pure luck for us and we're saving a lot.
Why don't we ask Du first?
The clients are pressuring us every day for our merchandise.
Chairman Chen has been busy outside the office.
He won't be back anytime soon.
If we wait for him to make the decision, it'll be too late.
Our stock will be late.
That's the way things are.
Whether we sign or not...
is up to you.
All right.
The pressed duck here is great.
It's as good as in Paris.
You'll need to have a taste later, General Manager Huo.
CEO Mo, will you tell me how you will deal with Li Wei Wei?
Don't rush.
The plans have already been laid.
When the time comes, I will tell you how to coordinate.
I just--
- Your pressed duck. - Thank you.
Try some.
- Hello, are you Mr. Mo Fan? - Yes.
A gentleman asked me to deliver this to you.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
[Up and coming designer...]
[produces wedding gowns with toxic fabric.]
Excuse me for a moment.
Excuse me.
I'd like to ask where the person who gave you this letter is.
He was just there.
- Thank you. - Not at all.
General Manager Huo, something pressing came up at the office. I need to go.
I can't stay to enjoy the food with you.
Do you want to take it to go?
Thank you.
Didn't you tell me everything was taken care of?
What is this?
Boss, I've been very careful.
Other than Zhou De Qing
nobody can connect us to the toxic fabric case from six years ago.
Where is De Qing now?
After he finished the job for us
he went to the country to lay low, as we planned.
Send him out of the country immediately.
He is a danger to us if he stays here.
Okay, I'll arrange it right away.
Why are you here again? Didn't we say no more contact?
Hurry and give me your passport.
What do you want it for?
Enough with the talking. CEO Mo's orders.
Wait here then. I'll go get it.
General Manager Huo, I found Zhou De Qing.
However, Zhou De Qing's interests are closely tied to Mo Fan's.
I'm afraid it'll take a lot for him to admit to the crime.
Unfortunately, we're running out of time.
And Mo Fan seems to have already made a move on Wei Wei
so we need to speed up our plan.
Thank you.
This is so nice.
What is?
Things as they are now are so nice.
Days like this, drinking coffee with you by my side, are so nice.
I wonder how long this can last.
It would be great if it could stay like this.
Silly, the days ahead of us will keep getting better.
Coming, coming.
Zhou De Qing, it's no longer safe here.
Boss Mo sent me to fetch you.
Why isn't Kang Xing here? I usually deal with him.
Kang Xing has been captured. Didn't you know?
He... He's been captured?
It's not a good idea to talk out here. Let's go inside.
Wait, what is going on?
Boss Mo was worried that Kang Xing ratted you out
so he sent me to move you.
What do I do?
What are you waiting for? Hurry and pack your things.
Wait here then. I'll go pack.
Go on.
What's the matter, Cao Zhong?
What is it?
Drink.
It's freezing cold!
Now can you tell us?
What is it? What's the matter?
Stop crying. Okay, okay.
Enough! Stop crying!
The stock we exported to Japan
was found to have levels of formaldehyde exceeding the permitted limit.
Not only will the stock be returned to us
but we may be investigated
by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.
Formaldehyde levels?
There must have been a problem with that cheap fabric!
I just tried contacting the suppliers but I can't reach them.
It's like they disappeared into thin air!
Look at you! Who told you to be such a penny pincher?
You've ruined everything!
I didn't want to.
It's all your fault! Your fault!
It's all my fault.
Don't you think this feels like deja vu?
What's the use in crying now?
Stop crying!
Boss, this is bad. Zhou De Qing is missing.
Missing?
Explain.
I called him and nobody answered, so I went to his house.
No one was there.
Boss, he ran off without a word.
Could he have betrayed us?
He probably wouldn't do that.
Don't jump to conclusions.
[Zhou De Qing: Tell Boss Mo, if he doesn't want to be exposed]
[3 p.m. tomorrow, the abandoned factory.] It must have been him last time.
He must want to extort more money from us.
Go outside.
Get out!
They must be scared out of their minds.
Too bad we can't see their faces.
Every step from now on must be done with great care.
We must not let them slip away again.
Training on your own is so boring.
Why don't I train with you?
Can't you just admit defeat?
Why must you ask to be humiliated?
In this world, good prevails over evil.
I will defeat you for Wei Wei's sake.
You want to defeat me? We'll have to see if you're capable.
You're not the only one who held back.
Mo Fan, our relationship as brothers ends here.
From now on, I won't show you mercy.
In the past, you would come here whenever you were unhappy.
You knew.
I've always known.
I just didn't want to disturb you.
So why are you here now?
Because whether you're happy or not...
I want to be with you.
Please step aside.
You don't need to worry.
We were framed for this.
I believe the law will seek justice for us.
Time to eat.
Cabbage and tofu again?
You want to eat fine food? I'll take you into the city.
No, no. Safety first.
Has Boss Mo said when he'll send me out of the country?
Soon. Don't be anxious.
Hello?
Yes.
I understand what Boss Mo wants.
There needs to be a scapegoat.
Don't worry, I'll keep watch over him.
Okay.
Jenny, Jenny, come here.
Jenny, I bought your favorite, tiramisu.
Ou Ye, tell me.
Director Li's new company was shut down. Was it Huo Xiao's doing?
How would I know that?
You... Stop right there!
What... What do you want?
Wait, what do you intend to do?
Jenny, what do they want?
You must know.
- Speak! - I really don't know.
I don't know!
We originally just wanted to test you.
But seeing you now... Jenny!
I'll talk, I'll talk.
Yesterday, I saw them...
General Manager Huo.
I've told you everything I know. Don't ask me anything else.
Huo Xiao! Director Li's company is being investigated. Did you do that?
What are you talking about?
If you don't explain yourself, don't think of leaving!
General Manager, turn back. It's not too late.
How could you be like this? I'm so disappointed in you!
I did it all.
Excuse me.
I need to go out for a bit. Stay here. Don't run off.
Okay.
- Wait outside for me. - Okay.
CEO Mo.
Let's talk inside.
Old Zhou, you must have been having a hard time lately.
Isn't that all thanks to you?
Just be straight. How much money do you need?
What do you mean?
We used to be in the same boat. I see you as a friend.
If we betray each other, it will do neither of us any good.
That's what I should be saying to you.
Wasn't the reason you hid me here
so you could use me as your scapegoat?
I'll tell the authorities
how you used the toxic fabric to frame Chen Yi Du and Li Wei Wei.
Let's see who will be in more trouble then.
Make you a scapegoat for what?
Stop acting. I heard everything.
Didn't you hide me here so I can take the blame for you?
I hid you here?
Tell me who brought you here.
Your man brought me here.
He said Kang Xing was captured
and the previous place was no longer safe.
Is there a problem?
We've been set up.
Who's there?
Boss! What's the matter?
Chase him! Don't leave behind any evidence or witnesses.
Okay.
- What happened? Call the police. - It's a car accident!
Police? I'm on Nanhui Road.
After the car flipped, I saw he was trapped inside.
I don't know if he was still breathing.
Good job.
Huo Xiao was eavesdropping on my conversation with Zhou De Qing.
Even without this recording, he would still be a witness.
It is better to silence him.
What about me? The police will find me soon.
I... I'll be a murderer.
What are you panicking about? Don't worry. I won't abandon you.
Lay low for a few days.
I'll have someone send you off right away.
Here, over here.
- Oh no, this is bad! - What is it?
There was a serious accident on Nanhui Road.
The victim is confirmed to be Ling Long's general manager, Huo Xiao.
The victim sustained severe head trauma.
He is in critical condition and has been sent to the hospital.
Hello?
Director Li, General Manager Huo is hurt. The doctor says it's serious.
I'm begging you. Please come see him.
Director Li, I'm begging you.
Secretary Wang, please do your best to think back on what happened.
That day...
I followed Mo Fan.
- Ou Ye. - General Manager Huo is still inside.
What happened?
Why would someone want to hurt Huo Xiao?
Speak! Why are you mumbling?
Actually, General Manager got close to Mo Fan as an undercover spy.
He had discovered Mo Fan was going to frame Director Li and Chairman Chen
so he has been conducting secret investigations.
He discovered Mo Fan and Zhou De Qing
were going to meet, so he wanted to record evidence of their crimes.
Who knew...
So we had the wrong idea about Huo Xiao the whole time.
He told me I must not speak of this so...
He tells you not to, so you really don't?
Do you know how much criticism General Manager Huo endured?
If anything happens to him, I'm going to...
Doctor, how is Huo Xiao?
Surgery is finished.
But because his injuries are too severe, he is still unconscious.
He is still in critical condition.
Huo Xiao, rest assured.
We will capture the culprit and set the record straight.
Huo Xiao, you big fool.
General Manager Huo was too eager to get evidence.
A recording of Mo Fan and Zhou De Qing's confrontation
would be the most compelling piece of evidence, but it was too risky.
Now we don't have the evidence and General Manager Huo is injured.
Huo Xiao went to make the recording himself.
That means he must have seen or heard Mo Fan and Zhou De Qing's dealings.
Even without the recording, he is an important witness.
But in his current state...
I need your full cooperation with the authorities
to bring the culprits to justice as soon as possible.
Chairman Chen, please comment!
- What is the current situation? - Please say something.
At present, all definitive clues indicate
that Huo Xiao was victimized because he held key evidence
relating to Beginner's Mind's toxic fabric case.
Haven't Ling Long and Beginner's Mind always had a hostile relationship?
Why are you stepping out to speak for Huo Xiao?
Can you divulge what concrete clues you have?
Officers, I can understand the pressure you are under to solve the case
but please also respect the rights of a law-abiding citizen.
I am very busy. I cannot keep cooperating with these groundless interrogations.
I hope next time, you won't be wasting our time shooting in the dark.
Can I leave now?
- You may leave. - Thank you.
Before Huo Xiao's accident, he spoke to me on the phone.
He said he had already obtained concrete evidence
sufficient for exposing the crimes of the culprits.
The doctor just told me Huo Xiao is no longer in critical condition
and should wake up soon.
Once he wakes up, the truth of the entire case will come to light.
All the culprits will receive just punishment by the law.
Chairman Chen, can you disclose the current situation with your company?
All right, we are in a hurry.
Didn't you tell me you were careful
and Huo Xiao had been taken care of?
The car was flipped and he was trapped inside.
I was in shock.
Soon after, people came over. I didn't have time to check if he was dead.
There is a chance Huo Xiao might wake up.
He must be silenced forever before he wakes up.
You want me to kill him?
- I... - Kang Xing, we are men.
You've already done it once. Don't hesitate now.
This time, if he doesn't die, we will be in big trouble.
There is no other choice.
Boss, I've already done it once. The police are looking for me.
If I do it again, I'll be walking into a trap.
Do you think we can get away scot-free if we don't do anything?
Once Huo Xiao wakes up, he will reveal the truth about everything.
Kang Xing.
You are the one who will go to jail.
All the agreements were signed by you.
You're the liable one.
You're atrocious!
I quit!
Kang Xing!
You're very disappointing.
You've been with me for so many years. Do you not know me at all?
How could I possibly abandon you?
After you handle this matter
I will give you money and send you out of the country.
Complete our undertaking.
It's up to you.
