Episode 26
Come here for a bit.
Son, look around.
What did you see?
I saw death.
The smell of rot.
Just like Dong Jiang.
Just like my life.
Perhaps all the important women in my life
are destined to leave me.
This is my fate.
Let me tell you.
Women are certainly not the entirety of our lives as men.
You are meant to do great things.
How can you let some small feelings, small resentments
trouble you so much? Let me tell you. Everything I see here is life.
It's your glorious future.
My future?
What is known as [Idiom Meaning: A single general's reputation is made out of ten thousand corpses]
A man's success is treading over countless corpses on the path forward.
I think you have already experienced a bit of this at drill school.
But that was only the beginning. The ruthless survival of the fittest
is the only unchanging law of this world.
No matter what methods you use, you only have a chance if you survive until the end.
Only then can you win in this world.
Previously I said that after your training ended,
there would be plans for you.
Now I can tell you
I'm giving you a promotion.
Promotion?
I've always been so strict and demanding of you because I've hoped that
you could eventually take my place.
Inherit my property and career.
I know in your heart you don't approve of this profession.
Last time in regards to your engagement
I forced you to make a decision.
This time I won't.
I will let you consider carefully.
But I can tell you
any position in the police station
is yours to choose.
[Dong Jiang Police Station]
Report!
Didn't I say I did not want to see anyone today?!
Apologies, Master
This girl insisted on forcing her way in, I couldn't keep her out.
Aren't you together with Luo Fu Sheng? Why have you come to see me?
I came because I wanted to tell you
I'm only regular friends with Luo Fu Sheng. It's not how you think it is.
Regular friends.
You would stay in Dong Jiang for a "regular friend"
and choose to deceive me.
Was it Luo Fu Sheng who told you not to tell me?
No.
It was me who asked him not to tell you.
Why would you do this?
Because I didn't want to see you again.
What I wanted to say to you
was already expressed very clearly in my letter.
Now regardless of if I'm in Dong Jiang or not,
our separation is already a fact. Not seeing each other is good for the both of us.
IT'S NOT GOOD!
NOT EVEN A LITTLE!
When I was in training school,
I was humiliated and bullied every single day.
You were the only thing that kept me going.
It was because you told me before that
I needed to grow stronger to become a good policeman.
I dreamed
that some day
we would meet again.
But now,
the faith in my life
has become a complete lie.
Some excuse to placate me.
I'm sorry.
Xu Xing Cheng, I'm sorry.
I know it's all my fault.
I'm sorry.
No, it's not your fault.
It's Luo Fu Sheng's fault.
He's always been ruining our relationship.
Getting in the way.
Xu Xing Cheng
Luo Fu Sheng isn't that kind of person
You've been friends for so many years, you know that.
Also I don't want to see you two fighting because of me.
Please don't misunderstand him anymore, ok?
If Luo Fu Sheng considers me a friend, a brother,
he would tell me that you were still in Dong Jiang.
Stop trying to create problems for no reason.
Why have you become this way?
People always change.
This is the inevitable law of how things change. Loved ones will become enemies.
Brothers will hurt each other.
But no matter how things change,
my feelings for you, my love for you,
is something I don't want to change for the rest of my life.
No matter how much the cost.
You aren't loving me.
You're in love with your own obsession.
Wake up a little, ok?
Right now
I'm extremely clear-headed.
I know what I'm doing.
Didn't you say so clearly that
you aren't in a boyfriend girlfriend relationship?
Then that means I can openly pursue you again.
If you want to do this
it will only make me stay even farther away from you.
Xing Cheng
Is there something important?
Dad
What you asked me in front of mother's grave,
I already have an answer.
Fellow colleagues, we are gathered here today
in order to announce an important appointment in this station.
Policeman Xu Xing Cheng
from today onwards is officially promoted to
the position of detective.
He's become detective?
Would never have imagined...
Now we invite Detective Xu
to say a few words to everyone.
Becoming a detective at such a young age,
this is really unheard of.
You were just born into the wrong family.
If you were Commissioner Xu's son,
wouldn't you also be just as impressive?
I know
you think that because I'm the Commissioner's son
that's how I came to be in my position today.
Since I've arrived at this position,
I, for one,
will not be modest and polite,
Two, will not refrain from acting.
You can comment about me in private
slander me
This is not my business.
But if
I give you orders as a detective
every single one of you must obey my command.
Anyone who fails, I can guarantee
that it won't be as simple as just losing a job.
Of course, I will also not treat anyone unfairly if he puts in a lot of hard work.
All the above
is my manifesto upon the assumption of my office.
Sir, hello.
I have intructed you time and again, and again,
not to add lilies into the bouquet.
I'm allergic to lilies. Look at how my face has become!
Sir, please calm down first.
Are these flowers from our shop?
Not from your store? Only your store has this kind of wrapping! How can it not be from your store?
I...
It's her!!!
She was the one who sold them to me!
Sir, don't blame me!
You didn't tell me you were allergic to lilies!
You don't know? I'll let you pay for this(lit a life for a life).
Calm down.
You're blocking me. Do you believe that I'll let the both of you pay for this (lit pinch you).
Sir, don't be like this.
Fei Ye!
You're bleeding.
Sir, calm down first. We really did not know that you were allergic to lilies.
If you had told us, we would not have sold them to you.
Fine then.
Fifty silver dollars. Not a penny less.
I'm telling you. I rely on this face to support myself. Now that I can't earn money anymore, what should I do?
Fifty silver dollars. Not a penny less.
Fif..fifty silver dollars.
Fifty silver dollars
But, but our boss isn't here. We can't decide on this.
Fifty silver dollars. I will not accept any thing less or I'll make a police report.
Who wants to call the police?
Policeman sir. Please take charge of the situation for me.
Tian Ying, are you okay?
I'm okay.
Policeman sir, I'm the victim. Me!
Victim?
Comrades
Arrest him.
Wait Xu Xing Cheng,
He is our customer. For this small issue, there's no need for you to make such a huge fuss.
No need?
He's not looking at what's he's doing.
Hitting you with his hands in front of me
Take him away!
Don't (x2)
Stop!
Do you know who I am?
Let me tell you. I know your police department's commissioner!
What a coincidence, I also know him
I am his son
How come I don't know you?
I remembered wrongly because blood was rushing to my brain too quickly just now.
I know your station's head detective!
That's even more of a coincidence.
I am the head detective.
Take him away!
Xu Xing Cheng, how can you randomly arrest people?
You arrested the wrong person! (x2)
I'm performing my public duty as a policeman.
You are a citizen of Dong Jiang.
If anyone hurts you
he should be punished accordingly.
I don't need this kind of protection from you.
Even though you're promoted with honour to an inspector, what you're doing now tantamount to abuse of power.
Since you put it this way. I'm going to show you again how I am abusing my power.
Everyone who is present please produce your residence permit.
Why?
Because I want to carry out routine work.
I need to investigate everyone around you.
To ensure that there's no one scheming to threaten you.
Residence permit.
How about you?
I...I didn't
Then you'll have to come with me.
Take her away! Yes, sir!
Xu Xing Cheng
- Fei Ye -Tian Ying
Tian Ying
- Xu Xing Cheng - Halt.
Are you afraid?
According to the law,
I can repatriate you because you don't have a residence permit.
Police Officer Xu. No, no, no. Inspector Xu.
Please let me go.
I really cannot leave Dong Jiang.
Let you go?
I can do it.
But you'll have to give me a sufficiently good reason.
Reason?
My reason is, I am Tian Ying's only friend.
How do you prove this?
The injury on my hand. And the selfless way which I defended her just now.
Doesn't this count?
Even if you are her friend
how does this benefit me?
Of course it benefits you.
Since I am her friend,
she tells me everything.
Her tendencies,
I know them better than anyone else.
If I didn't guess incorrectly,
all these news are extremely important to you.
You're actually quite smart.
So, does it mean that we have reached a consensus?
This is my business card. If there anything regarding Tian Ying,
contact me immediately.
And remember
if she find out about this, you'll have lost your usefulness.
Don't worry. I understand.
Then quickly go back to prove yourself
Fei Ye, are you alright?
I'm alright. Don't worry.
Didn't he arrest you? Why did he let you leave so quickly?
I told him I was Tian Ying's close friend
and told him some nice things
Out of respect for Tianying, he let me off.
For that, I should thank you.
Fei Ye, don't say that.
Is your hand alright? How about we go to the hospital?
No problem. This is a small thing for me.
Why did you decided to bring me to such a high-scale place to eat today, do you have money?
Don't tell me we are going to dine-and-dash
Why are the clothes you are wearing today...
Grand?
I was just thinking that you were constantly staring at me.
Do they look very ugly?
I was saying, wearing something you aren't comfortable in. How can it be comfortable for others to look at it?
Because you rarely dress like this,
Seeing it,
It's not bad
Not bad?
Are you serious?
Are you mocking me right now? No
How can the dignified Second-in-Command have so little confidence in yourself?
How can I, the dignified Second-in-Command, have so little confidence in myself!
Then, quickly eat it while it's still warm.
Let me tell you,
Steaks, these things, if they get cold, they are especially not tasty.
Say, who thought of this knife and fork invention
Why is it so hard to use?
Waitress, can I get chopsticks.
I also want them. Okay
Turns out we are similar.
Thank you.
Now this is so much easier to use.
Actually,
Invited you here today,
Because I want to talk to you about the matter involving Xu Xing Cheng
Talk.
Yesterday,
I went to the police station to look for him
hoping that he wouldn't misunderstand you because of me staying in Dong Jiang.
But I didn't expect it to go another way. (Backfire)
I don't know what to do now to make things better.
You don't have to worry
I, Luo Fu Sheng,
have been misunderstood all my life.
But the thing I dislike the most is to explain.
I strongly believe that truth will be revealed without having to defend itself.
Also Xu Xing Cheng, I understand him the best.
He is a sensible person who understands what is right and wrong.
He will understand.
But this time after Xu Xing Cheng returned
I really think he changed too much from before.
You....
should still be careful.
There is no enmity between two brothers that will last the night.
I believe that time will resolve everything.
Let's not talk about other people anymore.
Can you care about yourself a little bit more?
Worry about myself?
Don't think I don't know,
Besides working at the florist in the day, you're also working in several other jobs at night.
Why do you do that?
This...you already knew about it?
I not only know about it,
I also know you split half of your salary with your coworkers.
And you are also support your good-for-nothing elder brother.
How are you that unable to care about yourself?
It's only just these few bits of work. I can still handle it.
Fine.
If you really have to work at night, come work at Mei Gao Mei.
Mei Gao Mei?
That's right. What? Are you looking down on Mei Gao Mei?
- No. - No, what?
I...I...
I really can't rely on your support anymore.
Precisely because you don't want to owe me any favour, then the more you should come.
Why?
Otherwise you get back so late, get home so late from working in so many jobs,
I.. wouldn't it be better if I kept you within my sight?
Moreover, if you start working at Mei Gao Mei
you're relying on your own hard work,
and not me giving you charity.
If, I really go work at Mei Gao Mei
You wont give me any special treatment right?
What special treatment can I give you?
Then it's decided. Come on
Boss Luo.
Luo Fu...
What?
Are you disappointed seeing that I'm not Luo Fu Sheng?
Does this mean, that during the time I was not in Dong Jiang,
he was always by your side?
Why are you here?
The lights on Outer Shikumen Street are out.
Public security is bad.
So these police just now were all organized by you?
How did you know I lived here?
It's not hard.
So when you checked my residence permit at the flower shop,
was for the purpose of knowing where I lived?
I just knew that you wouldn't tell me.
This way was easier.
Xu Xing Cheng
what do you want to get from all this deliberate scheming?
Tian Ying, I'm just using my methods to protect you.
But I don't want you to use these methods to protect me.
You're a police officer now. You have to sympathize with the weak.
You have to get rid of bullies and bring peace to good people
instead of abusing your power for an insignificant girl like me.
What you're doing right now isn't right.
But I don't care.
For me, the safety of all the people in Dong Jiang is not as important as you.
But I care.
I care, okay?
I don't want to be the reason your misused authority.
You'd better not do this again in the future.
Brother
Why are you drinking again?
You still know to come back?
It's so late, where were you?
I was working overtime.
Brother, I know you don't want to go out to find work right now.
But you can't be drinking your sorrows away every day at home.
Even though our rent here is not so expensive
but it already eats up a large chunk of our income.
We have left the days in opera when we did not have to worry about our basic necessities like food and clothes.
life is so difficult now.
Starting tomorrow, I will be working at Mei Gao Mei.
Or else there'll be nothing for us to live on from next month.
Mei Gao Mei?
This is a place of carnal pleasure.
Where's your dignity?
You've thoroughly brought shame to our Master.
But at the very least I'm striving hard for the sake of livelihood.
What about you, Brother?
All you do at home is drowning your grief in drinking everyday.
So you're begrudging the fact that there's one more mouth to feed at home now?
Okay, I understand.
Him, Luo Fu Sheng. Everything's good about him.
I, Duan Tianci is a good-for-nothing. I can't compare to him.
I don't mean it that way.
I'm just sad on behalf of Father right now.
His soul is resting in Heaven. He doesn't want to see you in such a state.
Don't mention Dad to me.
The person who doesn't have the qualifications to mention Father the most
Is you!
I am going to sleep first.
Tian Ying. Tian Ying?
This isn't too bad
Yes, it's alright.
Elder Sister Shuang. I've brought someone to meet you.
Her name is Tian Ying.
Oh right, you've probably met before.
From now on, she's going to be working here.
Help me watch over her, ok?
Hello Shuang jie
Tian Ying
We've met once before. Fusheng has mentioned you many times.
Elder Sister Shuang is like my biological sister. If there's anything you're not sure of, just ask her.
Then, I'll be leaving first then.
Go do your thing.
I'll leave it to you then.
- Meng Lu. - Ay, Elder Sister Shuang.
Tianying is here for the first time. She's unfamiliar with the place and the people.
Take her to go change then.
Leave it to me.
Come with me.
Elder Sister Meng Lu.
I was just here to be a waitress
I don't need to dress like this, do I?
Here is different from your opera theatre.
What do you think our Mei Gao Mei depends on
to establish its presence in Dong Jiang?
If you don't even have this bit of spirit of sacrifice,
then don't bother coming.
Are you stupid?
The less you wear, the more you earn.
Then, Elder Sister Meng Lu,
is there an interim position for the time being,
that is, is there any job behind-the-scenes that I can work in.
- Behind-the-scenes work. -Hahaha..
Think carefully
The only behind-the-scenes work available is sanitation work
I can do it.
I've been at Mei Gao Mei for so many years
Seeing a girl like you is a first for me
Okay, come with me.
From here all the way to the inside,
you're to mop three times everywhere, in every corner.
Oh, right. There's also our brother Fu Sheng's bedroom. Sweep it cleanly for me.
Do you understand?
I'm gonna come by to check.
Did you special order this?
Why would I put that much effort?
Are you blind? How does this look like you?
Look at her.
Big eyes. Tall nose. Fair skin. Pretty face. Firm bottom.
And you? You're truly a tragic sight to behold. Whatever that is wanted cannot be found on you.
Brother Fu Sheng, do you know why you're always getting hurt recently?
Because there's a vile character by your side. All your troubles are caused by this vile character.
♫ It's everything ♫
♫ I don't want a lot ♫
♫ Having you is enough ♫
♫ Loved ones, strangers, friends ♫
♫ hold on for just a minute more ♫
♫ Unexpectedly, it's me ♫
♫ burdens I can't bear. ♫
♫ If every word and every smile touches us ♫
♫ our love is already raging. ♫
Wait a second Let go!
You are that hooligan who stole my pan-fried dumplings, right?
You are the hooligan instead.
How about this
You agree to three of my wishes, and I'll return this IOU.
Wishes and three at that?
How are you this greedy?
If you still have the chance to talk terms with me, it clearly means that I'm not very greedy.
People like you,
You look mean, but in reality you have a sharp mouth and a soft heart.
Everyone says that I have a sharp tongue and a determined heart.
If there is an afterlife, are you willing to be my friend?
No need to wait for the afterlife
we can become friends now.
I...
Do you still remember what I said in the cave?
What did you say?
The last thing I said...I said I...
like you.
You have to persevere and courageously continue to live.
Did you know? If you want your Dad
to continue to be happy
you have to keep on living. You understand?
I think the color of this rouge is really good on you.
Do you like it?
Look at this big group of people from the theatrical troupe
and my group of people from the theater. I...
Starting from now, till Tianying and the rest keep vigil at the funeral,
I will book all the tickets for the performances for this period of time.
From the first time I saw you
I knew that no matter what hardships you encountered
you would find a way to face them
to overcome them.
Tian Ying
Stay.
From tomorrow on, you must wait until I pick you up after you get off work every day during the evening before you can leave. You hear me?
This is the legendary
knight in shining armor.
It suits the name.
Why did you suddenly come back?
This is my room, I can come back anytime I want to.
But you, why are you in my room when I'm not here
And also touching my things?
They let me come in here to clean the bathroom.
Clean the bathroom? Who let you do this?
I volunteered myself, because
the work clothes you have here, I'm not used to wearing
So I could only do this.
Then okay,
you continue to clean. I'll leave after I get some stuff.
Holding the Commander's seal
in my hand
You recorded it?
Yes.
I'm your number one fan.
What a pity. I can't sing it now.
It's okay, Tianying. Do you still remember Specialist Doctor Robert whom I previously mentioned to you?
He will be in Dongjiang soon.
I will take you to see him then.
Thank you
What are you thanking me for? I...
Are we not good friends?
Brother Fusheng, bad news. Go and take a look now. Something happened to Sister Menglu.
It hurts! Do it gently.
- How did you sprain yourself? - It hurts.
What happened?
I slipped and sprained my leg.
Can you still stand?
Qiushang just happened to take leave to go home.
We were counting on you for the dance tonight.
Look at her sprain.
What will we do?
Forget it.
Menglu didn't do this on purpose. Sister Shuang, do you have another solution?
I already sent people to look for Meili to help us tonight.
Sister Shuang.
Sister Shuang, Meili said she can't send anyone to help us.
She said...
What did she say?
She said Hu Qi from Xingling establishment has been sending men to keep watch over them every day.
When the ladies heard that it's Mei Gao Mei, no one dares to step out.
They are afraid to look for troubles.
What should we do?
I understand, you can leave.
Xinglong establishment is getting more violent.
Sister Shuang, what should we do?
That's right, Sister Shuang. What should we do?
Don't panic.
I'll think of a solution again
What are you looking at me for?
You do it.
Me?
Of course!
You have stage experience and you can dance too.
If you can't do it, then nobody else can
Everyone, listen carefully. Teach her the dance steps now.
There is no time left. Hurry up
Luo Fusheng, I can't.
Can this work?
- Can she do it? - That's right.
I
I say, this woman is not bad.
Her image and disposition,
and also her dance skills, they are not bad.
She has the substance of a celebrity star.
This girl, Tianying,
is rather interesting and smart too.
You indeed have good taste.
But of course. She specialises in saving the show by stepping in for an absent actor.
This lady seems to be made for the stage.
Director, don't we still lack someone to complement Hong Lan for the movie?
I think she can give it a try.
How could I have not though of that?
Enough. Stop it. Everyone, leave.,
Quick, end it.
What are you doing?
Leave now.
Walk this way
- Sister Shuang, go and get foster father now. - Okay.
