I came to do business with you.
Don't move.
It's a profitable proposition.
What a face of class warfare.
What?
He's lying.
He's here for Editor.
What "Editor"?
He's the ex-captain of the Changfeng Criminal Police.
Guan Hongfeng.
I am Editor.
He came to find me,
so the bureau's undercover operation
can get back on track.
What's the point of getting him here?
Just get rid of him.
Whatever it is,
he's the ex-captain.
Before we kill him, we should get him to spill everything.
Right?
Captain Guan,
do you feel the need
to keep your dignity
before you die?
Do you know why people trust Meng instead of you?
If I was with the police,
would you all still be standing here?
Anyone with half a brain would know
all undercover cops wear surveillance equipment.
You've searched me thoroughly.
Did you see any tracking or wiretapping device on me?
This will be enough.
Mobile tracker.
To all of you police teams,
-this is-- -Anyone who knows cell phones
can tell you that it's not mine.
Well?
The phone has been modified.
Signal loop with anti-tracking jammer.
Jin Laoer.
I came to you hoping I could do business with you.
This is how you treat a guest?
And who is she?
What undercover operation? What editor? What's it got to do with me?
Who is she?
Miss Lin Jiayin is the undercover agent from the Bureau.
Only she no longer wants to be a dog for the cops.
Don't believe him.
He knows about the undercover operation.
But what he said did make sense.
If he really is here as a spy,
we'd be finished.
Understand one thing.
He is Guan Hongfeng.
So?
In Jingang,
cops who know Guan Hongfeng
also know about one thing.
If there's one person who'd never betray the Public Security,
it would be Guan Hongfeng.
I've said all I came to say.
It's up to you know.
What I don't understand is why you're listening to a girl.
I come here with my real name.
I didn't hide the fact that I was a cop.
Why do you trust an undercover agent over me?
She has proven herself to us.
The past is nothing.
I can prove myself again with him.
What was that?
I do trust you,
but I want him alive.
You need to know who's the boss here.
Keep an eye on him.
And ensure she doesn't do anything stupid.
What a place you've found.
Watched too many movies?
You smoke too much.
Yes, okay. I forgot.
How's the situation?
Guan is in. Here's his location.
The situation isn't unclear.
They changed location once.
Editor and Jin Shan are there.
Meng Zhongmou?
And those guns?
You think it's time to wrap it up?
According to the task force,
busting the arms trafficking ring is not the main goal.
Instead, it's the missing guns.
If we still don't know where they are, the operation might fail.
If we keep it going,
Guan's safety will be an issue.
You know what?
They look the same but why did I pick Hongyu?
-What do you mean? -I finally got it after all these years.
You people in the field team put your own life in harm's way.
Risking your life is accepted as a fact of life.
A detective boyfriend is too much for my nerves.
You mean, it's expected for Guan to take this risk?
What I mean is, none of you listen to advice.
Okay.
Keep in touch.
If anything comes up, wait to talk in person. Okay?
See you.
By the way, about your nerves,
I suspended you for your baby's sake.
Why get involved?
You and Captain Guan keep this on the quiet.
Who can you trust?
Wang? Your Wang?
-Okay, I get it. -Liu--
Stop picking this place.
It's too high.
-Be careful. -Fine.
See you.
-Go ahead. -Sir, we've finished the search.
Where are you?
I'm coming. Meet me in my office.
Out of the way!
Hello, Captain.
Wang.
My car broke down at Central Hospital.
Come pick me up.
After so many years in the unit,
in the end, my own people drove me out.
I wanted a career change
and I bumped into an undercover.
Maybe it's bad karma from my previous life.
I don't get a break.
Whatever.
You can deceive Jin Shan,
but not me.
That's bullshit.
I know.
This isn't out of suspicion.
You just want me dead.
I don't get it.
When did I offend you?
You don't need to get it.
I'm my own boss now.
Guess who has a better chance coming out alive later.
Don't be too proud yet.
But I'm really curious.
Why don't you let me talk?
What did I do to you that you want me dead?
You deserve to die.
Besides,
you're not Guan Hongfeng.
Captain Zhou.
Be concise.
Get to the point.
We searched the place.
Based on the personal items, he lived alone.
What we've noticed is that
there are no ID, credit cards, computer devices,
or any items in which we can get more info about him.
We've found no cash or other equities.
And we didn't find anything that associates drugs,
firearms, or controlled knives.
To sum up,
it's very basic.
Just a place to sleep and go.
So, it looks like...
a waste of time.
Not really.
We noticed that...
it's unusually tidy.
It's vacant for more than a month.
Someone might've cleaned up after An Ting died.
It's possible that his personal items were removed then.
We noticed the CCTVs while we were there.
We should check the footage for suspicious activities
over the past month.
Captain, are you done?
Okay, I got it.
Leave me your notes.
Leave this matter for now.
-Go help Xu and finalize the autopsy. -Okay.
I can't let Ji Jie's case slip.
I've checked the car.
Brake fluid was completely emptied.
Lack of maintenance?
Of course not!
Listen, it's that...
Get off.
The technical team found something.
The brake disc was tampered with,
that's why the fluid leaked as you drove.
And when it's emptied, the brakes failed.
So, the verdict?
Well...
What verdict do you want?
My dear sir.
It's your car?
-Yes. -Right?
Someone wants you dead.
That's a lot of effort to create an accident.
Correct.
Why don't we check the surveillance footage from the garage's CCTV?
Think about who'd want you dead.
You want to question the whole team? Get real.
That's true.
Then, you...
It's fine, just repair it.
Get me another car.
Okay.
Hey. Don't tell anyone.
Don't worry.
Captain, sorry to offend you.
Jin Shan, what's going on?
San Ge's orders.
Since Captain Guan came here to make money,
we should hear him out.
You'll get what you give.
It started out like this,
I think we'll just forget about the proposition.
Captain Guan, please wait.
Jin Laoer.
To be honest,
I really wanted to work with San Ge.
But you need to get one thing clear.
Your name may be big in the underworld, but thieves are thieves.
It's a compliment that I came to you.
Crushing you all is a matter of time.
You tied me up and interrogated me.
This woman almost shot me dead. You kiss my ass after you slap my face?
A true captain.
Straightforward.
If you want to leave,
why did you patronize us?
In this world, it's inevitable to get mistreated.
How about this? Tell me and I'll listen.
At least do what you came to do.
As for working together, I'll guarantee your safety when you leave.
Have a seat.
My source's supply is abundant.
Great quality, reasonably priced, and the supply is steady.
Under one condition, delivery can't be in Jingang.
Speaking of which,
I know San Ge has always been fastidious and cautious.
He hardly sets foot in Jingang.
Why is he here now?
We came here this time to discuss something with an old client,
not for delivery.
Hey, about the source you mentioned,
can you elaborate?
There are evidence in most cases in our unit.
Once the trial is over,
all evidence will be sealed and sent to the Bureau to be archived.
For the next 20 years,
no one will check
the status of those evidence.
So, from what you said,
you can replace them.
I never said that.
But I got my people working at the property department.
It sounds easy.
All firearms evidence have ballistic records.
If they're sold,
and even only one is discovered, there'll be trouble.
I never thought the rifling of your sample
would be filed off.
Without the rifling, the accuracy will be severely affected.
You have to provide maintenance service in this business?
Everything sounds good.
But I don't get it.
Why are you so interested in this kind of business?
This isn't anything new for me.
Do you know a guy named Ye Fangzhou?
No.
It doesn't matter.
San Ge would know.
He was my subordinate.
He started this business behind my back so I fired him.
If you want stability in my line of work,
you have to follow the rules, right?
So, no deliveries in the north.
Everything's out in the open now,
I'll say it again.
The deal is off.
Tell Meng Zhongmou to not stir up Jingang.
Go back to the south.
I'm leaving.
Oh, yes.
Give me back my phone.
I have lots of guns.
You can keep it.
How about this?
I'll keep the goods.
Take the cash and we'll call it even. Okay?
Captain Guan.
I think we can talk about it.
It's not a problem if you want to talk again.
My demand is simple.
Kill her.
Kill Lin Jiayin? Are you crazy?
You know nothing about dealing with these animals.
Your methodically organized techniques won't work.
Especially this woman, she's already turned.
And she was set on killing me.
She's truly our biggest obstacle in this infiltration.
Lin Jiayin.
I know her.
She'll never turn.
She said that about you.
After that, she shot at me.
When will Jin Shan reply?
In an hour.
Let's switch.
Are you joking?
You can't handle it.
Besides, it's still dark.
Call Jin Shan.
Tell him you want to discuss something. Pick a place.
Feng, it's not good for our strategy.
Even if you want to do it, it's 1.5 hours from now.
At least let Jin Shan call us first. Right?
He'll give you Lin Jiayin's body, then what?
Feng,
I'm curious.
What relationship do you have with her?
She cut herself off from the task force,
helped Jin Shan escape surveillance, and nearly shot me dead.
And without using your brain, you insist she's not turned?
After I head out, you and Cui Hu will monitor the area.
Cui Hu will select what Ya'nan will relay to Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun?
You know about his accident?
What accident?
I got a call when I came here.
Someone tampered with his car. It could've been bad.
Feng.
For it to happen now...
Is it a coincidence?
I don't know who else I can talk to.
In other words,
there's nothing in An Ting's home.
Yes, nothing.
You told Zhou Xun about Zhao Qian?
I was with her the whole time afterwards.
And the way Captain Zhou looked, I...
But I called Mr. Guan.
What?
I gave him a call to tell him this.
But he seemed dismissive of me
and just hung up.
From now on, don't tell anyone about it.
You mean I can't even tell Captain Zhou or Mr. Guan?
Right. Nothing.
But Mr. Guan...
Stop mentioning him to me.
Stay away from him.
Mr. Guan...
Doesn't she know how old he is?
Hello?
Come down here.
Let's go.
Please come in.
What, Captain Guan?
You couldn't wait?
Your proposal, I've thought about it.
If you'd work with us, I'll kill Lin Jiayin.
That's why I came earlier.
I've thought it over. Killing her isn't a good idea.
What do you mean?
I wasn't thinking.
You know she was an undercover agent.
Without rhyme or reason, she broke away from that.
The task force won't let her go.
Why get involved?
I don't understand.
How should we deal with her?
We can discuss that later.
Killing a cop is not a small matter.
But she's left...
her police identity behind.
She gave that up on her own.
The others don't know.
To them, she's still a cop.
If we kill her,
it'll trigger a bigger counterattack from the Ministry.
Forget about teaming up, our lives will be in jeopardy.
A true captain.
It's well thought out.
To be honest,
your demand really put me in a difficult situation.
Jiayin came to me for help
and brought me a huge gift.
Asking me to turn my back on her so soon really put me in a spot.
But...
Captain Guan,
since you're so vigilant...
why were you
so reckless earlier?
I actually have a different take
on your sudden change of heart.
There's no way to know what's going on inside.
That Jin Shan is not that sharp.
I'm not worried.
My concern is Lin Jiayin.
An undercover-turned-criminal is a bit unpredictable.
You don't know her?
My brother seems to know her.
Not only he knows her, she was in our unit.
You don't remember?
At that time, I only had my eyes on you in the whole unit.
You're still in the mood to joke.
This is bad.
What's wrong?
If I was Jin Shan, and it's a choice
between Guan Hongfeng or Lin Jiayin, who will I pick?
He came to Jingang for business.
An ex-task force turncoat undercover targeting him,
or an ex-police captain coming out of nowhere, who's worth more?
And my brother went in to stop him from killing her.
Blowing hot and cold...
It's the biggest strategic taboo.
No, I need to go in.
What for?
Feng's in danger.
Get Zhou Xun to bring backup.
But Feng can't handle darkness.
-Besides, you're here... -There's no time.
Call him now.
Who came to see you?
Your daughter or Zhao?
My daughter.
She said Zhao's acting a bit strange.
Like father, like daughter.
But she's smarter than I thought.
I mean your daughter.
Before she came here, she called Guan.
Only the three of us know.
I warned Tongtong...
not to say anything.
-Idiot. -What?
Please.
All they know now is exactly what we want them to know.
We want them to spread this out.
-Zhou will likely tell Ye Fangzhou. -What were you doing?
I don't want her deeply involved.
Don't worry.
She's a small fry and won't be targeted.
It hasn't been half a day and my car's already been tampered.
-If you want me in this, spill it. -What else do you want to know?
First, how did you get An Ting's address?
Guan has seen all the evidence in his case.
We then cross checked it with his rental car,
and focused on the footages of the community.
Jackpot!
I guess Guan Hongfeng deserves his reputation.
Have you checked?
Of course.
Why did you send the two girls?
Because we found this.
This means the two...
Yes, I checked it out.
But I don't know...
why this isn't in Zhao's files.
If I'm not mistaken,
Zhao is the adopted daughter in An Ting's family.
Oh, yes.
We didn't take the photo from the study's drawer.
Now I get it.
You let her go there, but she returned with nothing.
It confirms that they're siblings.
But Zhao Qian purposely kept this from us.
If you ask me why I sent your daughter,
that is also Guan's idea.
Zhao Qian will get suspicious if I sent her there alone.
Who else can I use in the whole unit?
What else did you find out?
Nothing more.
Guan also noticed the fact that the room was cleaned up.
No suspicious items,
even fingerprints were wiped off.
Something's off about this.
Yes.
The room was thoroughly cleaned, but why was the photo left behind?
Isn't it interesting?
They want us to know the relationship between An Ting and Zhao.
But Zhao doesn't want us to know that.
We're doing this so Ye Fangzhou and whoever's behind him
will think our investigation is going
in the direction they want us to go.
But what are you and Guan up to?
Whatever you two are doing is unfathomable.
But I can see through it.
You two didn't show up at the scene and acted weird.
What's going on?
You don't need to know.
It's too much for you.
Hello?
Look who's talking.
That's enough!
San Ge did say capricious people are all weasels.
Work together?
I hate this kind of people.
A dirty cop,
or an undercover cop,
so, what if it's Jingang?
Police captain? So what?
I have the gun.
I'll kill whoever I want.
Since you've helped me so much,
other than your share from this transaction,
take Guan as a token of my appreciation.
Are you kidding?
You didn't let me kill him earlier,
now you want me to kill him?
Whatever. Kill him.
I assure you, at the very least...
you'll be my equal in front of San Ge.
What a face of class warfare.
Miss Cindy,
perfect timing.
Come.
I'll introduce you.
You know Miss Jiayin.
This is my good friend, Guan Hongfeng.
Captain Guan.
Like Jiayin,
from now on,
he's my new partner.
Just you?
Yes.
After all, it's a special undercover operation.
If I call for backup, we can't keep this covert.
How about the Bureau?
I haven't thought this through.
What's the situation?
Lin Jiayin is not only working for Jin Shan now,
she's a threat to Guan.
How's so?
It's the team's fault.
They should've told us the undercover agent's name.
What a mess.
You know her?
Ah, no wonder you don't know.
You weren't here yet.
She's Guan's student for two or three years.
I'm not sure when she vanished.
She didn't stand out or mix with us.
You said Lin Jiayin's turned.
How did that happen?
She admitted it.
When Guan found out, she tried to expose him,
and almost shot him dead.
That bitch.
It should've been a happy reunion. But she tried to kill him.
Maybe because of their past.
She kept telling Jin Shan that Guan will never commit a crime.
And Guan keeps saying Lin Jiayin will never be a turncoat.
Did Guan say that?
I think he's a bit emotional.
Just think.
Despite how she treats Guan, if she didn't betray them,
why end the contact with her team?
Guan's in danger. Get the Bureau to arrest them.
But that batch of guns...
You're right.
It's the Bureau's special task,
Guan doesn't need to be in it.
If Lin Jiayin really has turned, why did Zhao Xincheng
go against the operation commander for her?
What's wrong?
They got you pretty bad.
Wash up a bit.
How did you two get tangled up here?
First your brother, now you.
What are you doing?
What happened during the operation three days ago?
Why did you end the contact?
Find a way to get out.
I know you didn't come to do business with Jin Shan.
But I did.
