Episode 24
You didn't hide it from me?
But what is the truth?
The truth is just as it is!
He say you didn't hide it from me! I don't believe you already, do you know?!
I won't believe you anymore.
Zhong Ke Ming, say, you had an illegitimate son outside,
you didn't tell me,
you told me yourself that his was Zheng Yi Jian's son.
You even let him into Hai Ming Office,
giving him the high ranking associate's house.
You treated him even better than Dai Bo!
That was what happened recently! I didn't know in the past!
Stop trying to talk yourself out of it!
Then after you knew of this truth, why didn't you tell me?
You lied to me. Now,
your lies have become the truth.
I will never believe you again.
Zhong Ke Ming,
do you know what it is that pains me the most?
He's your son. Our Xiao Jing,
they're siblings.
Do you want to kill your own daughter yourself?
- You're too vicious!- Enough! Stop speaking!
No, I need to say it all clearly today.
Fine, tell me, how will you be able to let him go?
Tell me. Give me conditions to let me be able to acknowledge him as my son!
I will agree whatever the conditions! Tell me!
My condition is really simple.
I won't acknowledge him as a son,
Tang Jing will not call him older brother either.
If you must acknowledge him, you can acknowledge him outside.
I will never allow you to bring him one step into the Tang family.
He must leave Hai Ming Office. What's more important is
he must never be allowed to touch...
any part or cent of Tang Ye Corporation.
President Tang.
Not everyone is like you, who only sees money in their eyes.
Although I am poor, I can tell you,
no matter if he's my biological father or not,
I have never thought to get any part or cent.
I believe, on this world,
there are many things more important than money.
If you agree,
I can find Tang Ning and propose reconciliation to her.
Reconciliation?
You mean to say, to reconcile with Tang Ning?
Why won't you agree to reconcile?
Zhong Ke Ming and Tang Li Qun really hopes to reconcile with you.
What terms and conditions do you have? Just say it, Tang Ning.
Tang Ning, I feel really pained seeing you like this.
I really don't want to see your family hurting each other anymore.
Zheng Hao, I'm telling you, my Dad left a lot of inheritance,
those were originally supposed to be mine.
I am the real inheritor of Tang Ye Corporation.
Please go back to tell my Aunt and Uncle,
I will not give up. I will take what was originally mine.
I came all the way back from America only for this.
I only came to fight for my inheritance back.
- This isn't what you truly think.- It is.
- I don't believe it.- Believe what you want.
Zhong Ke Ming is ill, will the court still be in session?
I've already told the Judge. He doesn't agree to postponing the hearing.
Hai Ming Office will send other lawyers to represent Tang Li Qun.
- Xiao Ning.- Brother Dai Bo,
I have something I want to talk to you about.
Lawyer Lu, please go out for a moment. I'll speak to Xiao Ning for a bit.
Sure, sure.
What's wrong?
Zheng Hao came to find me just then.
He said, Zhong Ke Ming is asking for reconciliation.
Then do you agree to reconcile with them?
You know what I want isn't money, isn't shares.
I want the truth from that year, I want the truth of Auntie Wang's death.
Then we won't reconcile.
Brother Dai Bo,
you really shouldn't have, in front of so many people,
expose the father and son's secret.
Zheng Hao have only told me, he must think that I told you.
Yes, yes. I know.
All of this issue's responsibility is on me. I've also told Zheng Hao.
Xiao Ning,
things have progressed to this stage, we can't consider what other people are thinking. This is like a war.
If we keep being overcautious, we'll never be able to beat them.
I'm not afraid of anyone, I'm only most afraid of Zhong Ke Ming.
He seems to be one step ahead of us in everything.
So I've been thinking for a long time, only that was the way to throw him off.
It's good now. He's in the hospital,
I must take over this case while he's not here.
That is indeed good for the case.
But it has hurt Zheng Hao, my Uncle and my Aunt.
For you, for this case,
I will not stop even if I am going to hurt myself.
If, for this case,
we're going to hurt so many people,
why do I have to fight in this lawsuit?
Alright, Xiao Ning. It's not that you want to hurt other people,
it's other people who wants to hurt you.
Have you forgotten how Auntie Wang died? Her death was caused by someone else.
You can't become soft-hearted at this moment.
Hello?
It's me, Zheng Hao.
How was it? Have you talked about it with Tang Ning?
She has already rejected it, right?
Next week, let me attend court in your place.
You know who He Ya Yin is.
Before I knew you, she was my girlfriend.
No, she was my fiancée.
But you told me back then,
that you and her have completely broke up.
Zheng Hao was from before.
I thought she aborted him, I didn't think she would give birth to him.
Qun, from the beginning to the end, I did not betray you.
You need to believe me.
In my lifetime,
I have lost to two women.
He Ya Yin didn't abort, leading to Zheng Hao's existence,
making our Tang family a terrible mess.
Xia Yun's child didn't get aborted.
Now Tang Ning is back,
looking for revenge.
I'm really afraid that if this case continues,
my reputation would become totally ruined. Then the problem would be great.
Don't be so worried. I have told Tang Ning,
the abortion medicine was her mother's doing.
Would they believe it?
Would Xiao Ning believe that?
Would she give up this case?
No matter if she believes it or not, at least
she didn't force you into death.
♫ Why I did those things to you ♫
♫ What went through my mind ♫
♫ And I don't know why, why I broke your heart in two ♫
Brother Tong.
I'll tell you a story.
There is a story that is
the world's strangest homicide case.
Do you know,
there is a serial killer, she's a female,
in a moment, she killed so many people at once.
But, the police were testing DNA at the scene.
They found that it was her every time. But,
they just couldn't find who the killer was.
Did they break the case in the end?
Did they? They did.
After ten years' time,
they found this killer. Brilliant, right?
Brilliant. What was the truth?
The truth?
The truth...the truth was that
the person I love is my biological older brother.
Say, something so cliché
would happen in my family.
♫ Baby, living without you will tear me apart ♫The person I love the most
is my biological older brother, older brother.
♫ But I don't care where it leads to, let's make a new start ♫
♫ And give love a chance to win ♫
Xia Yun will come in a moment.
What are you planning to have her say in court?
Why do you think Tang Ning filed this lawsuit?
It is because you guys hid the truth about her father's inheritance from her
and didn't let her know the story behind the shares transferal agreement.
She decided that, somewhere inside,
there must a secret. She just wants to know this truth.
What secret does she think there is inside?
She didn't tell me.
But I think,
she must have decided that you and Tang Li Qun
have used some kind of deceiving tricks to lie to Xia Yun
to transfer the shares with such a low price.
Of course, her misunderstanding of me runs very deep.
I hope that Xia Yun could participate and in court,
tell Tang Ning she was deceived.
Then what about the problem Dai Bo mentioned, about the price being too low?
No matter whether the price was too high or too low, it was Xia Yun's decision.
If Tang Ning feels that there is a problem and is asking for compensation,
she can only ask for the compensation from Xia Yun.
But she can't sentence this agreement ineffective.
Good.
A good defensive and counterattacking plan.
Good, very good.
Although Zhong Ke Ming is out of the hospital,
he is very weak.
I originally persuaded him to reconcile with Tang Ning.
Aunt Tang agreed too, but Tang Ning was unwilling to.
She wants to continue investigation.
Mum, I feel that I am very useless.
When Tang Ning needs someone to stand beside her, I can't support her.
really want to help her, but she keeps pushing me away.
So I've thought it through,
if I want to help Tang Ning, the only way...
is to get involved in the lawsuit.
Get rid of personal feelings. If this lawsuit continues,
the truth that Tang Ning wants, the real Zhong Ke Ming that you want to know,
all these problems may have an answer.
But this lawsuit,
I can only attend in Zhong Ke Ming's place. Apart from the fact that his body is unwell,
I also need to find the truth from that year for Tang Ning.
For that, I can only do this.
If you've through it through,
you need to balance his relationship with Tang Ning.
One is your own biological father, one is the person you love.
For you to protect two people at once, it's very difficult.
I believe, on the day the truth is revealed,
Tang Ning will understand me.
No matter what, mum will support you and believe in you.
I also believe that Tang Ning will return to your side.
Hao Hao,
you've finally become a real lawyer.
A good lawyer with a sense of justice and a sense of humanity.
Your father will protect you from the heavens.
Why must I participate in court?
Auntie, only if you participate
will the problems in Tang Ning's heart be solved.
What problems?
Tang Ning have always thought that, the shares transferal agreement
was the result of Zhong Ke Ming and Tang Li Qun deceiving you,
or in other words, the result of threatening you.
Only if you participate, would Tang Ning understand that in this issue,
Tang Li Qun and Zhong Ke Ming are not at wrong.
Then the anger in her heart will be able to dissipate.
Is that all?
Yes.
Oh, sorry.
I'm sorry, I still have something to do. I'm leaving first.
Alright. Thank you, Auntie.
Will it work if I participate in court?
It will, tell the truth.
How should I tell it? Say that I lost money gambling in Macau?
Say that Gao Huai Yi embezzled thirty million from the company and got completely destroyed when speculating stocks?
This definitely won't work.
When the court is judging a case, the truth told is the truth of law.
What is the truth of law?
It's not the truth by objective because the objective truth
is really hard to recover. The truth of law
is truth that can be proven with evidence.
What you mean is, Dai Bo doesn't have evidence of me gambling in Macau,
he also doesn't know Gao Huai Yi is speculating stocks in Hong Kong,
so, I can choose not to say those?
But you need to clearly say what you did with the twenty million.
Then isn't it easy? I'll just say I spent it on Tang Ji Ye.
How much money would be spent at the hospital in ten years on a vegetative person?
Also, Xiao Ning's law school fees in America.
How much is it in one year? It's hundreds of thousands.
Is Harvard that easy? It's more expensive than aristocratic schools.
- Lawyer Zheng, I'll go prepare now.- Okay.
Lawyer Zheng, I've never been in court.
I'm really nervous, my heart is pumping hard.
Auntie, you don't need to be nervous.
Because we've already practiced my question. You only need to answer as it is.
Then what about Dai Bo's questions? I don't know anything about his questions.
You only need to remember one guideline.
- What guideline?- Tell the truth.
Auntie, take a rest for a while. I'll go prepare.
Lawyer Jiang will take you there later.

- My Mum is really here?- Yes.
She is currently in the witness's resting room.
Didn't she say she wasn't going to come to court? Why did you come?
This time, she's here to testify for the opposing side.
How could this be? Then are there any loopholes in the opposing side?
We still need to maintain the price as our main attack, strongly emphasising that this was an unfair transaction.
But today, your mother is here.
If she admitted that she knew all of this in court,
that she also approved of the twenty million, then it'll really be over for us.
- I've got some new trace.- What?
Your mother constantly goes to gamble in Macau.
She still goes constantly now.
You mean, for her to be so desperate the sell the shares and at such a low price was to pay off her gambling debts?
Then, if we could prove
that your mother sold these shares to pay off the debts that year,
then we could apply for an investigation order from the court, we would be able to gain time,
we may perhaps find new traces.
If it was really my Mum's fault, should I still look into her responsibility?
Your Honour,
there was still an unanswered question left from the last session,
that was...
what the Plaintiff's Attorney mentioned,
the overly low shares transferal price, categorising it as an unfair transaction.
Then, whether the price was overly low, whether it was an unfair transaction, both sides have their own opinions.
Today, the Second Defendant,
who is also the one who signed the shares transferal agreement, Miss Xia Yun,
she will give the court the clearest answer.
My answer is, I approved of the price.
The transaction was also fair. That's it.
Second Defendant, don't feel anxious yet,
can you answer again after Attorney asks, alright?
Miss Xia Yun, from your perspective,
were you deceived in this transaction?
No.
Even if your daughter, Tang Ning, raised an objection,
you won't regret it either?
I...
I won't regret it.
Thank you.
Your Honour, I have no further questions.
Your Honour, I want to ask Miss Xia Yun a few questions.
Miss Xia Yun,
just then, you rushed to answer before Attorney Zheng Hao even asked the question,
why is that?
Was it because Mr Zhong Ke Ming
or Attorney Zheng Hao practiced the questions and answers with you beforehand,
that's why you know the question really well and answered quickly?
How about this, I'll ask you a question you've never practiced before.
Why did you sell the shares? What did you do with the twenty million?
This question, I've already...I've already told Xiao Ning many times.
Her father became a vegetative person, he laid in hospital for ten years. How much money would have been needed for that?
As well as the home expenses and Xiao Ning's school fees in America.
That's right.
All of these that you said just then does indeed need money.
But please note, when you sold the shares,
Mr Tang Ji Ye has already passed away.
Also, all of the hospital fees have been paid off.
Other than that, Miss Tang Ning was only 10 years old at the time.
She only went to study in America eight years later.
Could it be that this school fee needs to be prepaid eight years beforehand?
Let's take a few steps back,
even if Mr Tang Ji Ye's hospital fees from these ten years were added up,
along with Miss Tang Ning's eight years of boarding school fees,
it should be a few millions at most. It shouldn't need up to twenty million, right,
Miss Xia Yun?
When you sold Miss Tang Ning's shares 16 years ago, was there another reason?
Was it because you lost from gambling in Macau and got into huge debt?!
I oppose.
I oppose the Plaintiff's Attorney for asking questions without any evidence.
I didn't provide any evidence
because we could not find debt records from the bank from 16 years ago,
therefore, I ask to apply for an investigation order from the court.
I oppose!
Why is Attorney Zheng Hao opposing?
A record of twenty million transaction could help the court clarify how this money was used.
Why are you opposing? What are you afraid of?
What's wrong?
We've won over Zheng Hao today. Why are you not happy?
I am worried.
Worried about what?
Behind Zheng Hao is Zhong Ke Ming.
With his abundant experience, he must have already guessed
that we would do this, he just didn't know it would be today.
But now, our chess piece is on the table,
he will definitely think of a way to counter it.
Don't worry. You were graduated from Harvard.
Don't mention Zheng Hao, even I need to learn from you more often.
Brother Dai Bo, stop making fun of me.
I'm not making fun of you, I'm speaking sincerely.
I know you're trying to make me happy.
But you know more than me, that the chance of winning this case is very slim.
That's not certain. As long as we can get the court's investigation order,
to prove that your mother took the money to pay off her debts,
- then we...- Then we still won't have hope.
Zhong Ke Ming is not an idiot.
He will claim that this was all my Mum's fault.
I can only ask for compensation from my Mum.
The court has not sentenced it yet.
None of us knows what the end will be.
What? They mentioned the gambling in Macau?
They even applied for an investigation order?
Will the court issue an investigation order?
Auntie, the money...
did you really used it to pay off debts from gambling?
Twenty million to pay off debts? How could it be possible?
Don't listen to Dai Bo's blabbering.
That's right. Even if I had ten times the courage, I still wouldn't gamble so much.
Then let them issue the investigation order.
Whether we're afraid of the investigation order is one issue. Letting them issue the investigation order
is another issue. Let me handle this.
Why did you come?
Why? Why are you still supporting Tang Ning in fighting this lawsuit?
Tang Ning and I are only investigating the truth.
Do you know what the consequences of doing this are?
Have you thought about what Tang Ning would go through for this lawsuit?
You're not loving her like this, you're hurting her!
I am not hurting her.
Do you know what Zhong Ke Ming and Tang Li Qun have done to Tang Ning?
What did they do?
If you knew, you would know I am not hurting her, I am helping her.
You could say what they did in court! Why didn't you say?
Because Tang Ning still doesn't have evidence now, because Tang Ning values familial bonds more!
She doesn't want to destroy everything with her aunt and uncle in court!
Do you think now is any different from destroying everything?
Zheng Hao, I'm telling you, if you want to hate, hate me. This is not related to Tang Ning.
I am the main lawyer of this case, all the decisions were made by me.
Also, I can tell now today, I like Tang Ning.
But you had to come to fight over her with me.
That's why I hate you. In court,
in love, we'll forever me opponents.
Brother Dai Bo.
I feel that you're sacrificing too much, it's better for you not to take my case.
Xiao Ning, we're already this deep into the case. There is no way out.
If we can't reveal everything, none of us will be able to live peacefully.
Let's work harder together and persist.
Do you really hope that I would win this case?
I feel very conflicted.
Whether we lose or win this case, we've sacrificed a lot
of people and things we care the most.
If we win, it means that Director Zhong and Aunt Tang have betrayed their conscience
and did the wrong thing. If we lose,
we would never be able to know the truth.
So,
since things have progressed to this point, let's persist.
Brother Dai Bo, thank you.
Xiao Ning!
- Goodnight.- Goodnight.
This morning, Tang Ye Corporation's shares transferal dispute case have resumed session in the High Court.
The Plaintiff, Tang Ning's, Representative Attorney, Dai Bo, apart from suddenly exposing
Tang Ye Corporation's Vice President, Zhong Ke Ming, having an illegitimate son in the last session, he continued his attacks today,
exposing the true reason for the testifier, Tang Ning's mother, Xia Yun's, to sell her shares 16 years ago,
was to pay off the gambling debts she owed in Macau.
Due to the influence of this case, Tang Ye Corporation's shares are having a hard time entering the market.
Are you satisfied now?
Filing a lawsuit, filing a lawsuit...now everyone in Shanghai knows that your mum is a gambler!
Are you happy now?
The company has been prevented from entering the market, do you feel good now?
Then did you owe that much gambling money?
I didn't. I definitely didn't.
Even if I was owing money,
I could still pay it off gradually. Why would I need to sell the shares all at once?
Then where did the money from the shares go?
If you didn't use it to pay off gambling debts, where did so much money go?
You don't need to answer me now.
I have already tried using every way to convince Tang Ning.
But she's not listening!
Don't think that, if your daughter wins the lawsuit,
her shares would be your money.
Why would I think that?
Zhong Ke Ming, you don't trust me?
I am helping you and Tang Li Qun at my own expense.
Anyway, you just need to remember 16 years ago, how you were begging me
and Tang Li Qun. A person must not forget to be grateful for the help they received.
Other than that, the crime you and Gao Huai Yi committed that year,
the period of persecution still have not passed yet.
What do you mean?
I don't mean anything.
You...don't scare me. I've already agreed to give the shares to Tang Li Qun a long time ago.
She has also agreed to testify that Gao Huai Yi and I have never touched the company's money.
Alright, don't worry. I will definitely help you.
But if Dai Bo and Tang Ning asks about your selling the shares,
I don't care how you will answer them.
Tang Li Qun and I don't know anything.
Understood?
Yes, yes. Of course you two don't know.
I have already proposed not being a judge, but analysing as your best friend has great difficulty.
I am also worried about that.
If we got the court's investigation order, your mother didn't
sell the shares for you, but for herself, what do we do?
With my analysis, even if you got this evidence,
the judge...will still not have reason to sentence this shares transferal agreement as ineffective.
You mean to say that, if my Aunt claims that
she doesn't know anything, then she's...a bona fide third party (without intention to deceive)?
That's why, we should see as we go. We'll continue after the court issues an investigation order.
Dai Bo, what's with Chen Jin Bao changing his testimony at the last minute?
I don't know.
What? Why are you looking at me?
At the time, not many people knew about Chen Jin Bao's testimony.
How could this have been leaked?
You can't be suspecting it was me, right?
Apart from Tang Ning, I am suspicious of anyone and everyone.
Zhou Tong, can you stop suspecting? Brother Dai Bo is helping me, got it?
I don't want to be suspicious either.
Say, could it be that they looked for him after we handed in Chen Jin Bao's testimony?
No. For a witness to participate in court, they would usually appeal to the collegial panel first.
So their appeal to have Chen Jin Bao testify in court must have been
before you handed in his testimony.
Could it be...somebody leaked it out?
Yes, there's an insider.

Hi.
You've finally thought it through?
Zheng Hao,
which trick did you use from the sixteen tricks of the Zheng family?
Was it removing the cause of your inconvenience or deception?
What do you mean?
The testifier, Chen Jin Bao, continuously rejected going into court.
Why did he suddenly participate this time and even withdrew his confessions?
Did you guys use some kind of illegal trick?
Zheng Hao, bribing witnesses is illegal.
What are you saying? I bribed a witness?
Tang Ning, I...I really don't know what is happening.
Why did I suddenly become someone like that to you?
