In the Name of People
Episode 48
Before, I wanted the whole world to know me.
Now...
I just hope this world forgets me!
Prof. Wu...
Do you know where this quote comes from?
Is it Napoleon,
or Socrates?
None of them!
It's our comrade Lichun!
So he finally figured it out?
And won't defend his son anymore?
He would still.
Otherwise, his precious son deserves to be shot 10 times!
Why don't you stay clear of him, he'll drag you down!
Can I really unplug myself from them?
I even suspect these photos,
were sent by Zhao Ruilong!
They wanna tie me firmly to their sinking ship!
Have you never suspected Qi Tongwei?
He's impetuous, and the provincial police chief too!
Whether I like or not...
From their sinking ship...
I can no longer get off!
Brother Qi, getting mad at me won't help!
How about you shoot me?
This old Du already sent the photos!
I reckon the provincial disciplinary commission received too!
You better tell secretary Gao, let him be prepared,
and device a counter-strategy.
They aren't nudes after all, he can still maneuver!
Zhao Ruilong!
Can you swear that it will never happen again?
Of course I can!
If more photos pop up, you can kill me right away!
Shoot me in my head, OK?
The reason I'm not back yet, is to resolve old Du's matter!
Now it's resolved, I'll leave!
Let's talk when we meet, OK? - I'm hanging up.
Zhao Ruilong is ruining things for us!
At such a critical moment too!
I tell you, he totally scared Gao Yuliang!
Otherwise Gao Yuliang won't make peace with Hou Liangping!
I'm worried that these photos aren't exciting enough!
There's more exciting stuff coming up!
Do you think Zhao Ruilong really took care of that old Du?
Maybe not.
Old Du must've sent photos to Hou Liangping,
to remind Zhao Ruilong.
What a weird motive!
Those who sent me photos,
what do they wanna say?
Perhaps to hint that mentor Gao is related to Gao Xiaoqin!
Qi Tongwei is related to her!
Could our mentor be in a love-triangle with them?!
Love-triangle?
If that were true, it feels hard to imagine!
Mentor Gao is an intellectual, Prof. Wu is excellent too.
What does he want?
"Heroes can't survive the tests of beauty"? (Chinese proverb)
"All men long to be immortals, yet it's beauties they desire!" (citing "won-done song")
"All men long to be immortals"...
"Yet to riches and rank each aspires!"
"The great ones of old, where are they now?"
"Their graves are a mass of briars."
"All men long to be immortals,"
"yet silver and gold they prize."
"And grub for money all their lives"...
"till death seals up their eyes."
Yuliang,
you keep reciting this "won-done song" lately. (from Chinese novel "Dream of the Red Chamber")
You must've seen through the vanity of life!
To be honest...
sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
That's why I'm so troubled!
Regarding the photos, do I have to go to Sha Ruijin...
and tell him?
Tell what?
To tell Sha Ruijin,
about your relationship with little Gao all these years?
Don't disgust me, OK?!
Prof. Wu, look at the situation!
Yet you talk like that, what's the point?
I mean since they sent Hou Liangping these photos,
they could've also sent to Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu!
Then wait for them to come to you!
Don't act weird and come to them!
Also I tell you,
the central inspection team is here already!
Watch out!
I know, I won't tell them about this!
I won't, that's it!
I won't tell!
Come on, brother Long!
OK, fine then.
Tongwei, talk to Ruilong after he gets back!
Shanshui and the gourmet city must be taken care of, OK?
OK! - Don't leave any tail behind!
Don't worry secretary Yuliang! - OK, that's all!
Zhao Ruilong is back after all!
These photos are indeed Zhao Ruilong's fault!
His former colleague boss Du turned on him,
so this boss Du came to expose us!
Which boss Du?
Did he gave little Gao a villa? - It's him!
Luckily Zhao Ruilong took care of boss Du.
Otherwise, we won't even know how we died!
Yuliang, when you deal with businessmen...
you must watch out!
You better ask little Gao to return the villa!
Would be nice if she can!
This dog-skin plaster...
can't remove it anymore!
Brother, are you really leaving?
Back to mainland tonight!
Isn't Luohu port closing soon?
I go via Futian! - Brother!
OK that's enough, take this money.
Thanks brother!
Take the keycard, you can stay here till the end of the month!
I'm leaving!
Take care!
Mom!
You scared me!
You scared me too!
You little...
It's midnight, still working on your cases?
You are becoming a workaholic!
Our bureau chief got taken down!
You care a lot about your bureau chief!
I must remind you, he's married!
So a married bureau chief deserves to be framed?
You lack awareness, leave me alone!
Alright, alright!
Here, drink this silver mu'er soup when it's warm!
Take a break, I'll have a look for you!
Look what, you can't help anyway!
Looking down on your mom?
Aren't you looking for that driver and accountant?
What if I find them for you?
A big "if"!
You know what's the worst meal?
It's when you eat with defensiveness and purpose!
I totally didn't get full today!
You want one too?
I ate well!
Your biggest issue is low EQ!
After so many years...
you haven't improved at all!
Although we went together today,
but it's very clear,
mentor Gao has a better impression of me than you!
I even think if I weren't there,
he won't easily forgive you!
Yeah, your EQ is better than mine!
Why would I marry you otherwise?
You must admit!
For you, whether it's your professional or personal life,
you need me to escort and defend you!
BTW, I got another mission during this visit!
I'll check out your female buddy who sent you food everyday!
Don't make things up, it's her mom!
Why would her mom keep sending you food?
It proves that you got special relations!
Please confess now!
It's your occupational disease again!
Want some noodle?!
I know about Cai Chenggong and Dafeng factory...
They had many lawsuits.
Their assets often got frozen by various local courts!
Cai's car,
his truck, and the oil tanker all got impounded.
When vehicles get impounded, there are differences.
Trucks, oil tankers and normal cars,
even when they are impounded, you can still drive them.
You just can't transfer ownership!
I know!
The rules also forbid luxurious cars,
those that cost millions, from being driven.
Otherwise their values drop.
If the car crashes, all the impounded values will be gone!
Cai's Mercedes belongs to this category, can't be driven.
Who's that?
I'll go and check.
Who's that?
Director Lue, that dorm manager came again.
OK, I'll be right back.
OK, I see.
The first person who impounded the car is from out-of-town!
Yike, have a look!
It's written online!
It's Yuannan county court in our neighboring province!
What's up mom, what have you found?
What I found...
The men and the car, I may have found them all!
Really?
What do you think?
Mom, tell me now, what's going on?
How did you find?
Director Lu,
didn't you always look down on your mom?
You said your mom...
can only solve petty cases?
This you didn't expect!
You checked for a week, where are the men and the car?
But I found them for you!
Your mom... - My mom is the best!
Why is she so good?! - My mom is best!
You are the best!
You are mighty and powerful, OK?
Tell me already!
"Old gingers are spiciest", you gotta believe it huh? (Chinese idiom)
Tell me now, my old chili!
Chief Hou, be careful!
Somebody doesn't want you to fight corruption,
they are investigating the photos!
Is it from the person who sent the photos?
Don't know, I didn't even see a shadow!
Who could it be?
Chaoyang residents? (Chinese joke about vigilant civilians)
Gao Yuliang finally noticed,
he fell into a tender trap long ago,
never able to escape again.
The designer of this trap is that princeling Zhao,
Zhao Ruilong,
a crooked businessman backed by special privileges!
With a villa and a beauty,
they tied him firmly to their...
sinking ship!
This villa is nice!
Nicely decorated too!
So this villa is ours from now on?
Not ours!
It's Huilong Group's reward to you!
I'm not involved!
You can't say that!
Without you, Zhao Ruilong won't award me such a big villa!
It's for you!
Little Gao, under any circumstance...
never say that again, OK?
Got it!
Zhao Ruilong told me already, don't worry!
Good!
What's wrong?
This time...
can we still beat the sky by half a stone?
I don't know!
But this game started long ago.
No matter how it goes, I must play till the end!
Remember...
Don't cry!
Clean up our matters at hand ASAP!
Then leave and never come back!
Remember my words, never come back!
What about you?
I told you, I must finish the game!
To change my fate...
I knelt down to a woman 10 years my senior, you know?
The moment I knelt down...
my heart hardened, I stopped caring about everything!
I understand you.
I'm the same.
From a fisherman's girl until today,
too many things have happened on me!
For me, I no longer have the right to care!
I know...
Tongwei, would you look down on me because of it?
Impossible, I'm not that vulgar!
I gave up myself in the past, just to fulfill my family.
I hope they get the chance of a better life!
I thought I won't have a future!
But I never thought I'd meet you!
To me, each day you love me,
is more than I deserve!
You are my woman, I will be responsible for you!
Don't worry, in this world,
nobody can bully you!
I don't want your responsibility.
Only your love, is it OK?
Alright!
Tongwei...
This is a good place!
I didn't give it to anyone else!
Look at here!
There's mountain and water, very nice!
District director Ding, this land is just a bit... expensive!
Can you please help us out?
Old Ding, isn't industrial land free of premium?
It's like this, you pay but get reimbursed.
It's 40k per acre!
The finance office will pay back in 5 years.
This land is about 500 acre.
Yeah.
Let's do this: all 500 acres of mountain and water,
boss Gao's Shanshui will take them all!
Furthermore, they don't want your reimbursement.
Just a minor condition:
change the land status within 3 years,
to commercial land!
You are such a smart businessman!
Commercial land costs 600k per acre!
You look too serious!
If boss Gao gets rich, you'll be paid handsomely!
District director, don't worry, I'll remember.
Of course!
I know!
Boss Gao, let's do it as Tongwei suggested!
Then I'll thank you in advance!
It's a pleasure working with you! - Pleasure!
It will be good! - Yes!
It's like a dream!
I really can't believe...
everything here belongs to us now!
Of course!
You see these water and mountains,
all of the things here...
are ours!
So this is how we...
start up from scratch!
Xiaoqin.
Do you know what I appreciate most about you?
You are someone with great capability and vision!
Therefore only you can use 50 millions of bank loan,
to create this 1-billion fortune!
It's not me!
It's us!
Without you,
how could Ding sell me a 600k-per-acre land,
for 40k-per-acre?
The bank won't issue me loans either!
Never tell anyone!
But I don't wanna lose you!
I don't!
Same here, same here...
We found the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, understood?
Using this opportunity we changed our fate,
as well as the fate of our families!
This chance will never come again!
But for this...
we paid way too much!
I don't know if everything is worth it!
Don't know...
You must know this: if we don't pay, our next generation will!
No matter what happens, you must care for yourself!
And our child too!
I know what I must do!
But I still wanna pray to god...
to give us one last chance!
Let us survive this calamity!
Tongwei, I want nothing!
I just wanna be with you and our child!
And live well, safely like a normal family!
Let's enjoy our family happiness, I want nothing else!
Remember,
I love you the most!
Once you leave, never come back!
We'll both be fine!
We will!
Alright!
Judge Wu will start working!
Yes, do it!
I ask you. - Hmm?
The men and the car, when did they disappear in Yantai?
On 15th!
Which county in the neighboring province is closest to Yantai?
Yuannan county!
Mom...
do you suspect these two men got arrested in Yuannan?
Correct!
It must be judicial custody!
Think about it,
Yuannan county court impounded the car,
as well as its license plate.
So this car cannot drive on the road!
But these 2 men, they ran around,
and even took the car...
to sell in Yantai!
A charge of obstructing justice will be inescapable!
Ding Xiuping...
Please tell us, what did you bring to chief Hou this time?
I can bring him whatever I like, it doesn't concern you!
Of course it does!
That chief Hou is put on leave now, you know?
That's why I gotta remind him,
so he can guard against you!
What, guard against us?
Ding Xiuping, what do you think we are?
What I think of you doesn't matter,
what matters is what you are!
Director, what's this place?
Procuratorate, a place for anti-corruption!
You don't fight corruption, but you put a bureau chief on leave!
What's going on?
Do we have tell a dorm manager what's going on?!
I didn't ask you to tell me, but you asked me here to talk!
Right, we asked you to come here!
But let's not talk more today, please go back, OK?
She only put a note underneath the door?
Yes, a piece of note!
I saw it on the surveillance! - Hmm...
Director Lue, shall we go and ask chief Hou right now?
Forget it, it's late!
Save it for later!
Transfer Ding Xiuping to another building!
Don't let her cause trouble! - Yes sir!
They... disappeared on 15th, right?
Yes!
Today is... 28th.
It's been 13 days!
Shit... their judicial custody is 15 days at most!
They should come out tomorrow!
Yike, get your men to pick them up ASAP!
What if we lose them again?
Or if your opponents find them first,
then your bureau chief will be in trouble again, you know?
Mom!
You are so great!
I'll pick them up myself tomorrow!
Also,
that Zheng Qian from Dafeng factory...
Did he arrange the car sale? - Hmm!
I'm afraid you must explain to him too,
otherwise he won't help you!
I have some experience about this.
I listen to you!
I must bother you to call Yuannan court within your system,
and let them know!
Alright!
Give old Ji a call quickly and report to him!
Must adhere to the organizational discipline!
It's inconvenient to tell this on the phone!
I'm afraid the phone is already bugged!
That's wonderful!
Your bothersome mom helped us big time!
Judge Wu is very enthusiastic!
This morning she asked a colleague from provincial court,
to call the Yuannan county court!
As expected,
accountant You and the driver are indeed in judicial custody!
Hmm! - Today is the last day!
Tell them, don't release just yet!
I know, we told them we'll pick up!
Judge Wu wants to come along!
Your mom is going too?
Wonderful!
Tell her this from me: a big thanks to judge Wu!
Don't use police vehicle, get a civilian car!
Be discreet!
I know, I'll drive a private car!
(Bao'an airport, Shenzhen)
The target appeared!
Come in!
Proc. director Ji, director Lu!
Zhao Ruilong entered the border!
Zhao Ruilong is back? - Yes!
Excellent!
Is he going to Beijing or Jingzhou?
Back to Jingzhou with the 9am flight!
Keep tracking him! - Yes sir!
Proc. director!
Shall we close the web at Jingzhou airport?
This matter is too big, I can't decide!
The provincial committee must approve!
Yike, leave as soon as you are ready!
This is my new phone number,
the old phone is under surveillance!
They noticed our surveillance,
so there's nothing useful on the phone!
It's normal!
We are all in the same profession, can't fool each other!
When is Zhao Ruilong coming? - At noon!
Boss Gao will pick him up!
You guys...
should expand the surveillance range!
Once you do that, useful intel will come in!
Yes, I'll do it now!
Boss Zheng!
Brother Lei!
What's up?
Don't you know yourself what you've done?
I've done a lot, I even fought anti-corruption lately!
I help the provincial procuratorate!
You don't fear the wind twist your tongue!
Helping the procuratorate and anti-corruption?!
Get off quickly, hurry!
Brother Lei, why don't you believe me?
I'm really helping the procuratorate, on a big case!
That Lin Huahua you brought to me last time,
she's waiting with her director at the procuratorate!
We got a work-trip! - Will you die from not bragging?!
Forget the work-trip, come with us!
Tell us about the fake license plate!
Finding you was hard,
you were Zheng Shengli when you bought the plate,
now you are Zheng Qian.
Why change your name, to evade the law of course!
You think we can't find you after changing your name?
Is Zheng Qian coming or not?
He said he left, I'll ask again.
Mom, you can sit inside.
It's procurator, Lin Huahua!
Hello!
Procurator Lin!
Yes yes, I'm on my way, but the police just visited me...
It's about the fake plate, help me quickly!
Is the police doing it on purpose, looking for Zheng Qian now!
Hello, Zhao Donglai?
Uncle Monkey!
Come here!
The intel-officer is late today!
Uncle Monkey, it's because your matter got me so busy!
My matter, what matter?
What matter, I know everything uncle Monkey!
You got unlucky!
Unlucky? Am I always enjoying a good life?
Not that good!
Uncle Monkey, you got into trouble!
What trouble! - Stop fooling me!
I heard it when grandpa called you!
You got fired and put under investigation!
Who's fired, the higher-ups want me to take some rest!
Stop fooling us kids!
Come on, let me have a look for you! - Look what?
Hmm, you see!
I knew you got "wind-calling ear" like me!
What do you mean, these big ears is the look of good fortune!
Only Pigsy Zhu Bajie looks like that! (from Journey to the West)
All monkeys have "wind-calling ears"!
I tell you, uncle Monkey.
The troublemakers of our school tape their ears these days!
To stay out of trouble!
So if you tape your ear, you avoid wind and trouble?
It's from our school seer Zhang!
Your school has seers too?! - Hmm!
It's Zhang Jiajia from class 6-2!
She knows physiognomy and fortune-telling!
Come, I'll tape for you!
OK!
Yes, commissioner Zhao!
Commissioner Zhao said, don't hold up the procurators!
But boss Zheng...
are you really helping the procurators solving cases now?
Brother Lei, who are you looking down on?
Don't be prejudiced about people, OK?
"A man who's been away 3 days, must be seen with sharpened eyes." (Chinese proverb)
Right!
Besides we haven't met for more than 3 days!
I'll sharpen my eyes, and my nose too!
Good job!
Zheng Qian, you got a big face!
Our commissioner Zhao said, don't hold you up!
But you got 2 options:
one, let someone follow us with your driver's license;
Two, we can also solve it after you come back!
Officer Lei! - Greetings!
Let me introduce, our company's vice-CEO Zhang!
You know officer Lei!
This is... - Officer Li!
Hello officers!
Let's do this, we pick the first option!
Vice-CEO Zhang will resolve this matter on my behalf!
Vice-CEO Zhang, please cooperate with them, OK?
Me?
Hurry, get in!
The central inspection this time,
although it's a routine inspection, it has a motive.
I can tell you this.
Comrade Lichun's son Zhao Ruilong,
has caused much complaints due to his unlawful activities!
If the son is lawless, the dad is also responsible.
Do you see it this way too as his former secretary?
To be frank, in the past as well.
I told him, he didn't listen!
That's why he said "you can't be fed full"!
And distanced himself from you!
Back then in Luezhou, he gave me a hint,
to approve his son's gourmet city, I refused.
Ever since then, he distanced himself from me.
How did he drop the hint?
He held my hand and said:
Dakang,
I have 2 daughters,
but only this son!
Helping him is like helping me!
Then I told him:
chief Lichun,
the 3 million Luezhou residents only have this Crescent Lake!
It's our ancestors' legacy!
If it's polluted...
then I'll be damned eternally!
Well said!
On this aspect, you are way better than comrade Yuliang!
Little Leather Ball,
do you really cause fewer troubles after taping your ear?
A lot fewer!
Auntie Zhong, you lack faith!
It'll hurt uncle Monkey!
She won't!
If you tape your ear for too long, your skin gets allergy!
Come, it's your turn, sit!
What, sit down!
I tell you, taping your ears won't help you with troubles!
It helps!
The teachers commended me after I taped my ear!
I'll be responsible, OK?
Uncle Monkey, pay me 100 of insurance fee first!
Asking for insurance? You get in a few days!
Here, rip it off!
Do your grandparents know about taping your ears?
How could I let them know!
They are too old-fashioned!
You little...
Tell me what's new today?
I almost forgot!
Grandpa asked you two to come for lunch!
He got good news!
You are a lousy intel-officer!
You forgot what's most important!
Chief Hou... - Coming!
Come on dumb kid, rip it off!
Chief Hou!- Come in!
Xiao-Ai, this is disciplinary director Lue!
Hello! - Hello!
Chief Hou, your wife really made a difference!
This room is very tidy!
I was busy before, now I'm on leave I clean everyday!
Good!
Please take a seat!
We'll have a word!
OK, you guys talk.
Come and shop with me!
Please sit!
How's it going?
Have you received anything lately?
Did you send the photos?
You saw them too!
Don't you think this leader...
may be unclean?
You think he's unclean, and send me photos to investigate?
You know this leader is my mentor, what do you want!
Chief Hou, you know it without me telling you!
The one who suggested to file a case on you,
is exactly him!
It's in the past now!
After I showed him the photos,
he suggested I move back to Beijing!
