Episode 37
You have news about Cheng Ran?
That's right. Today, he used his card in a hotel
in Bakersville. He proabbly is staying there.
Hence, Luca and I planned to drive there later to look for him.
Only you two girls?
Can you two go there by just yourselves?
You are sick, yet you still worry about us.
It's you leaving in the hospital alone that's worrying me.
I'm fine. Also, I have the doctors and nurses taking care of me.
I still am not at ease.
You always just suddenly do stupid things.
Okay. I guarantee then that
if someone will rob me again, I surely will give him
all my stuff. I definitely won't fight back again.
Because...I've already kept the most precious things.
Where did you keep them?
Here.
Other than me, no one will know that they are stored here..
Other than you, no one will put too much importance on them.
Remember.
There is nothing
that worthy for you to use your life to protect.
It's just my instinct to not lose it.
Because for me...
it's one and only.
Sister! Let's just drive my car!
It's the same to drive any car.
Your car is 2-seater. Mine is 4-seater. What if we're able to convince Cheng Ran?
It will be easier to make him come with us.
Fine. Let's drive yours.
Miao Ying! Are you guy going to look for Cheng Ran?
How did you know? You told her?
You didn't reply on my WeChat so I can only ask Luca.
Let me go with you two.
If something really happens in this trip, I can at least provide some help. The more peole, the more help.
No need to trouble you anymore. The back seat of this car is quite small. It won't accomodate so many people.
My car's back seat is indeed a tight.
Let me go with you all to look for Cheng Ran.
In the short time that I just went to the hospital, how many people have you told about our trip?
Just the 2 of them. They are very worried about Cheng Ran's situation.
I should inform them.
You 2 need a man to accompany you so as to handle situations that women couldn't.
With Shu Che coming, I feel more at ease.
The back seat of this car is too small. It can't accomodate you two.
Then, I won't go anymore.
Let's drive my car. It's settled. Let's not waste time.
You sit in the front and I'll be in the back seat.
I will soon graduate from my training course in the fashion school.
For my styling graduation project, I must take pictures of a trendy male and female look.
You two are such a good-looking team. Help me with it then.
- Not doing it. - I have no time.
Must you 2 be so resolute in refusing it?
I can only take pictures of Cheng Ran and myself then.
When did you start studying fashion?
I'm already studying for a year.
After graduating, what do you plan to do?
I plan to do a market analysis.
Once I've found my niche, I'll start to contact some brands for partnership.
Once the time is right, I'll open a select shop.
Transforming buy, buy, buy to sell, sell, sell.
It can count as exhibiting my advantage and special skills. Creating my value.
Say, it indeed is quite suitable to you.
How come your brain suddenly got enlightened?
To expect that I'll get enlighten by myself will take forever.
It's all thanks to my saintly teacher for pointing me to the right direction.
Where did you get a teacher?
Xiao Qing.
Why are you not speaking anymore?
I have to pee!
Are you tired?
Just fine.
That...we've been on air-conditioning inside the car all day. Let me get you some hot coffee.
No need. No need. I'll buy by myself.
[Lincoln Plaza Hotel]
- Excuse me. - Hi. How can I help you?
Yeah. Please help me check if you have a guest named Rudy Cheng.
I'm his sister. I just knew that he's staying here.
I couldn't find him, so can you give me his room number?
- Sure. Wait a moment please. - Thank you.
Ah, yes.
There is a guest called Rudy Cheng but he just checked out this morning.
Did he mention where he was heading?
I'm so sorry, sir. I don't know.
Thank you.
If he heads south, it's Los Angeles. If he moves east, it's Las Vegas. Where will he go?
Based on my understanding of him, it will be Las Vegas.
It can also be Los Angeles. With his current situation, he probably wouldn't go to Las Vegas.
Should we stay here for the night? Let's just wait for news from Frank.
No matter where he goes, he surely must use his card. Maybe, we'll get a clue by tomorrow.
2 rooms please.
Sure. Could you give me your ID's?
Brother, Sister, I'm here. Good night.
What good night?
Good night.
Get in the room.
Casanova.
Come on. Cheers! Yeah!
When we arrived, Cheng Ran already left.
We don't know if he'll go to Las Vegas or Los Angeles.
Hence,we just stayed here for the night.
We'll wait for news before deciding on our next move.
How are you? Does your wound still hurt? Is it inflamed?
That's good then.
If there's still no news from Cheng Ran, we might go back.
I also am worried about you.
Okay. Rest early too.
Good night.
Is Ning Ming's gunshot wound serious?
Good thing, it wasn't a perforating wound. It didn't harm any internal organ.
He just needs to recuperate for a period of time.
That's great.
Are you and Xiao Qing doing well?
We haven't been in contact lately.
What about you? You and Ning Ming...are doing quite well.
We've always been doing quite well.
I heard that you planned to transfer school to the East Coast.
I went to New York and passed my interview.
I'm now just waiting for Columbia University's offer.
There are some words that might feel too late
when said now, but...
...if you're leaving
just to avoid me, I hope that you will change your mind.
After all, Stender University is the best in the whole US.
If the 2 of us can't face each other in a calm manner,
the person leaving should be me.
Miao Ying, stay. Don't go.
One year ago, I traveled across the ocean to look for you.
I thought that we will be forever together and never separate.
But after a year,
it became you leaving me and I avoiding you.
Sorry. I caused you to suffer so much grievances.
You didn't.
After so long, I finally came round.
We separated because I wasn't brave enough.
I lacked your courage to persist on being yourself.
I disappointed you.
You and I...are different kind of people.
Let be clearly tell you now
that I never doubted you, nor that you committed any mistake.
It's just that if...
...you are not you and I'm not me,
how great would that be?
I said the same thing that you did.
Good night.
Let's drink until completely drunk. Eat! Drink!
Isn't this Old Mr. Cheng? Mr. Cheng, hurry and look.
What am I eating?
Abalone. Foie gras. Pufferfish. There is even a caviar here.
Also, lobster.
Whatever is expensive, I eat it.
Old Mr. Cheng, aren't you bitter, hateful, and extremely mad?!
Oh, my. Old Mr. Cheng, what?
You want to kill me? Then quickly come. I can't hardly wait. I'll just wait for you here.
If you don't come, your surname isn't Cheng.
Just stay there and watch then.
Let's eat one pufferfish.
Good. Let's pour some wine. And then eat an abalone.
Oh, my, Old Cheng's heart is aching.
Cheers!

How much has he charged?
One million?!
One million! What about one million?
At which casino did he use the card?
Text me the location of the casino?
Sister, what about one million?
Listen to this.
Cheng Ran sure enough went to Las Vegas. Last night, he charged one million at the casino.
This is the result of removing the limit on his credit card.
If you don't do it, you won't die.
Is he trying to go to heaven?
The location of the casino.
Let's get going. Okay, let's go.
Here.
Here's you hamburger with extra vegetables.
Less oil, easier to digest, and your favorite animal fries.
Hot chocolate. Your stomach isn't good, you should drink less soda.
Thank you.
Mine?
This is all yours.
I am not eating. It'll save time.
Hello.
Sir, there are visitors downstairs.
They claim they are your sister and wife.
Shall I . . . Let them come in.
I missed you guys!
Do you know this feeling? Seems like I've been waiting for you guys here 10 years.
Brother, sister, you . . .
Don't stand there; come in and sit down.
Have you eaten? Come in, come and sit inside.
Do you want to eat something? Drink something?
I'll order it. Sit, sit.
Sit wherever.
Hang up.
Put it down.
Sit there.
Living in the Presidential Suite, charging one million.
What craziness is this?
If you don't intentionally try to kill yourself, you won't die.
I was trying get our dad's attention.
Didn't you leave home to escape from your dad?
What's this about getting his attention?
These last few days, I haven't been living like a person. The more I did the more lonely and insecure I felt.
The more I did, the more lonely I felt.
Anyway, I was thinking . . .
I'd lose a few days living it up - and wait for our dad to come find me.
In the end, haven't you guys come?
You can just take me back and give him a call.
We don't need to call him. Your dad doesn't know we've come looking for you.
He really doesn't know you've come looking for me?
Is this true, sister?
Dad already went back home. He doesn't want to bother with you.
That can't be. Such a big deal, & he's not concerned about it?
This time, your dad is calm. He's acting like nothing happened.
Didn't he ask you go to the police to get them to look for me?
The two of us went to the police; the police don't care either.
That can't be. What if I was in an accident?
Your dad said that ever since you came to America, there's never been an accident.
No way. What if I'd been kidnapped?
You dad also said that if you'd been kidnapped,
at least he'd know you were with the kidnapper.
What if I was killed by the kidnappers? Huh?
This is weird. I created such a big mess.
If he was a responsible father, he should come after me to kill me.
How can it be that he doesn't care?
Brother, when that trouble happened to you, my dad went to help you, right?
Just tell us, last night, how much money did you lose?
The gods are playing with people.
When you want to lose money, the gods don't let you lose.
Do you know that last night, my cards were great?
The gods and Buddha were with me.
This time, I won all I started with back and more.
I won 500,000 American dollars.
Now, I finally understood what it means to be broken hearted in love, but lucky in gambling.
Hey, do you have a conscience or not? What love have you lost?
Explain yourself. I didn't leave or abandon you and even came 1000 miles to find you.
What kind of lose in love?
I'm talking about family love.
Ever since I got here at 14 years old,
Every second, every minute - all the time, I felt lonely.
So, I spent money so I'd have people to spend time with.
But, now?
Now is the loneliest time of all.
But my dad doesn't care,
doesn't want me, doesn't want to know me.
So who am I?
Okay, okay, okay. You're my husband. I want you, okay?
From now on, behave yourself. From now on, behave and don't be like this anymore.

Now, in order to promote compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act,
The Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission
have encouraged enterprises to conduct self-audits,
to pro-actively report any illegal activity that they discover,
as well as pro-actively to make any remedial changes;
thereby minimizing or, even totally eliminating, hefty fines.
Now, recently, with the Yates Memorandum,
it's been very clear that the emphasis on fighting corporate bribery has been very strong.
And the DOJ wants to hold individuals accountable.
With that being said,
CE Group, recently, due to reports from its own employees,
suspects that Rooney Strong has bribed the management teams of Chinese enterprises
and certain high-level Chinese government officials
who are in negotiations with these Chinese enterprises.
In order to avoid cost of finances and the cost to reputation,
of a disciplinary action done by the DOJ,
CE group has contacted us to conduct an internal investigation.
Right now, CE's top priority,
dealing with the DOJ and with the SEC,
is full open disclosure and cooperation.
Now our work with CE Group primarily involves gathering the evidence
and reporting any violators of FCPA to the SEC and to the DOJ.
Aside from a financial audit of Rooney Strong's department,
we'll be conducting an investigation that will have primarily 3 different parts.
One:
Investigate whether CE Group has been involved in 3rd-party bribery
through travel agencies and consultant firms.
Two:
Investigate whether CE Group hired descendants of high-level officials in China
in exchange for a market share of the China - Asia-Pacific region.
We want to look at whether they were offered tailor-made internships, for example.
Or maybe unnecessarily high compensation packages.
Number three:
We want to investigate whether CE Group acted as a guarantor
for any of these individuals to apply to American universities
or to apply for immigration into the USA.
Now, the scope of this investigation is obviously quite large.
And will cover a wide range of people:
Everyone from immigration officers to supervisors of American universities,
as well as the management group of CE Corporation itself,
Including the management team of certain Chinese enterprises
and even government officials of senior ranking in China.
Every single person on this list
must be contacted and interviewed.
It's imperative. Prepare yourselves for a very long and arduous examination.
Okay. All right.
Now, I want to call your attention to one particular subject of this investigation.
She's a Chinese immigrant who has recently received her green card.
Her name is Liu Cai Qi.
She arrived in San Francisco over a year ago.
She began working at CE Group in Rooney Strong's department.
Now we have strong evidence to suggest that 3 years ago, she was working in Weiye Group.
Weiye Group is the enterprise in China
with which Rooney Strong wishes to cooperate.
Rooney Strong is the one that arranged for the application
of Ms. Liu Cai Qi's immigration status.
She was a primary figure in this investigation
until recently when her identity changed a couple months ago.
as a result of her marriage to Rooney Strong.
So, obviously, any direct contact with Liu Cai Qi
would alert Rooney Strong to the investigation and is, therefore, out of the question.
I never would have thought
this meeting's topic would so quickly turn to Liu Cai Qi.
How far is this from Shu Che's father?
So, for this reason, the investigation of Liu Cai Qi
is absolutely, 100 per cent, limited to peripheral survey only.
No contact with Liu Cai Qi will be made, whatsoever.
Are we clear on this? Yes. Yes, Sir. Yes.
We have a lot of work to do, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's get started.
This is the woman She Che said was his father's lover.
The woman that led to the break-up between Shu Che and Miao Ying.
I will engrave this image in my mind.
But right now, I can't predict
what close connection will happen between us in the future.
[Cheng Wei]
[Cheng Miaoying]
[Cheng Ran]
[Xiao Qing]
[Luca: Found my lost self. Going home.]
Is it just my misperception
- or are you deliberately avoiding me? - I do.
I don't want to continue with our ambiguous relationship.
Is there anything ambiguous between us?
I like you.
But this is wrong.
This is so unfair.
I didn't know when you started liking me and you're just directly telling me now that you're ending it?
What do you mean by ending it then?
We won't have any interaction from now on?
[Son]
Talk.
Dad, I'm home.
I just want to tell you to not worry.
This time, I was really wrong.
I also paid a grave price.
I won't find excuses for my own mistakes from now on.
This time...thank you.
Although you were extremely disappointed in me,
you still traveled thousand of miles just to wipe my ass.
Avoiding a more severe consequence,
although I deserve it.
I know that the university has already expelled me.
I will also do a deep reflection.
Rethinking about my life.
I guarantee to you that this will be the last time that you're going to wipe my ass.
Even if I can't walk into the proper path that fast, I definitely won't keep walking down the wrong path.
Even if I can't make you proud of me that fast,
I won't taint your reputation anymore. I guarantee it.
En. (Okay)
[Son]
What did he say?
What 'en'?
It's just 'en'.
What does that mean?
Does it mean he got it? He forgives you?
It can also be, 'I won't care about you anymore. You can do whatever you want.'
He has completely given up on me.
Sister, help me talk to dad.
What can I say?
It's already not bad that he accepted your call.
Anyway, I'm unable to do anything with your matter.
I'm going to sleep now.
Just help me talk to him. Even if it's just one sentence.
Hey, it's fine. You still have me.
I'll mind you. You have me.
Thank you for coming down the law firm and cooperating with our investigation.
You're welcome. I hope I can be of some help.
Has Rooney Strong ever pulled any strings or vouched for any unqualified student
to apply to Francisco University?
Yes. Mr. Strong came to visit me
and he vouched for a Chinese-American applicant named Rudy Cheng.
And what was Rudy Cheng's relationship with Rooney Strong?
I'm not sure. Mr. Strong didn't say.
However, I guessed that he maybe the son of a business associate or a friend.
And what year has Rudy attended and what major?
He once at sophomore year.
But he was recently expelled because of a serious violation of discipline.
What kind of violation?
He committed academic fraud.
He hired a Chinese impostor to attend his classes and sit for his exams.
Aside from Rudy Cheng, are there any other students that Mr. Strong has recommended to you?
No one.
So why were you helping Rooney Strong?
Rooney is the director of the university's alumni foundation.
He's been instrumental in the fund raising for the university from many alumni.
He never asked me for any favors before this,
so I felt obliged to help him.
Okay. Are you willing to sign off on your opinions for today?
No problem.
However, will this be a problem for Rooney Strong?
My responsibility is just to get the information for the investigation.
God help him.
Rudy Chen's name has been included in the investigation.
Chen Ran can't avoid getting investigated.
