The Way We Were
Episode 48
Mom, you...
I'm fine.
I'm okay.
I'm here, alright?
You have to be okay.
Okay. I will listen to you.
One thing you can be certain of,
since the first day Xiao Qing knew us,
she has been hiding the fact that her father works for the Anti-corruption bureau.
Since the moment Xiao Qing showed up in court,
all of my previous questions have been answered.
I just have one last question for her.
- What question? - When did she start lying
to me and helping her father collect proof against my father.
Was that already her plan when she worked for my company as a legal consultant?
It could be earlier than that.
Maybe from the moment, she first met you.
Oh, right. She and my sister met on the plane.
What a helping hand. Just to talk to my sister.
Finally, she seized the greatest timing.
So she was accepted by you guys
as someone who's passionate and full of sunshine.
Then, she tried everything to get close to you and my sister.
Then she beat out my sister to become your new girlfriend.
All of this is a big conspiracy that was plotted in advance.
It's even possible she came to Stender to target you two.
She is an undercover spy her father planted right next to you.
It's a shame you're not a fiction writer.
I can judge for myself about what kind of person Xiao Qing is.
She doesn't seem like someone who can hide so many secrets in her heart.
Xiao Qing hiding her father's identity to us
is out of self-protection for being a family member of a law enforcement official.
That is understandable.
As for when she started to work with her father
and investigate both of our families,
I don't think it would have been that early.
Shu Che. I remember you told me,
after her father left San Francisco, you couldn't figure Xiao Qing out.
Do you think that's when it started?
It's possible that's when it started.
After her father left, she had been acting weird.
Now I have this feeling,
that she will very likely show up at the next trial.
She will countermand my testimony saying I didn't know anything about my father's crimes.
Because she knows all our secrets.
Everything will become the testimony
for the accusation against my father by her and her father.
That's very likely.
If she indeed does that, then she's going too far.
There's something even more horrible than this.
What is it?
Today in court, you all heard it.
What the prosecutor and Xiao Qing said is...
an hour before Liu Cai Qi's death,
Xiao Qing went to Liu Cai Qi's home to get the proof.
Do you still remember how the US media reported Liu Cai Qi's death?
They said nobody went to Liu Cai Qi's home that day.
Therefore, it excluded the possibility of murder.
Wait, I thought Xiao Qing was there, just before she died.
So this means the surveillance video the US police got was tampered with.
Tampered with?
What about the real one?
The real one was taken away
to cover up the truth.
So the truth is that Liu Cai Qi's death wasn't an accident.
She was murdered?
Who murdered her?
Our father?
Only Xiao Qing...
can prove Liu Cai Qi's death wasn't an accident.
The car will arrive on time at 8 tomorrow.
Qing'er. 8 AM tomorrow.
The Prosecutor's car that'll come pick you up to go to court will be waiting downstairs.
Qing'er. I don't want to force you to do things you don't want to do.
If you refuse to show up in court,
I'll understand.
In the future, no matter what happens, even if you have doubts,
Don't ever doubt that... I love you.
[Yanzhou Police]
- Where are you going? - I'm going to the bathroom.
It's starting soon.
I will be right back.
Xiao Qing!
There has never been anyone like me...
who is grateful, even after she's been stabbed.
The stab from Chen Ran released the pain in his heart.
It also helped my difficult situation.
It helped me escape from the lengthy frustration
and excruciating pain.
I can hide in a black hole where there is no pain.
A place where I don't have to be torn apart by sensibility or emotions.
I can sleep for a very long time.
During my long sleep,
a lot of things happened.
This court thinks...
As a government worker, Defendant Shu Wang
helped others gain benefit through his job.
He received money and properties from Chen Wei illegally.
The Prosecutor is accusing him of bribery in the amount of ¥54,26 million. ($8,2M)
The evidence is clear.
The amount of money he took for himself is ¥5 million. ($748,000)
At Chen Wei's request,
he provided benefits for companies and individuals through his position.
He in turn received money and properties from Chen Wei illegally.
His behavior is a crime.
As a public worker, he used his position.
The country and the people's benefits suffered a great loss.
His behavior is an abuse of power.
This is very serious.
The Court has established the Prosecutor's charge.
Shu Wang has confessed his crime, recognized and confessed his mistakes.
He has handed in all of the money and belongings he'd embezzled
and those that his family accepted on his behalf.
He therefore can receive a lesser punishment.
According to Article No. 385 and the No.1 clause of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China,
Articles 386 and 61,
the first clause of Article 57, Article 59,
and Article 64, this is our sentence.
All rise!
Defendant, Shu Wang has been given a sentence of life imprisonment and deprivation of political rights for life.
All of his assets will be confiscated.
A 15 year sentence has been given for embezzlement.
¥1 million of his assets will be taken away. ($150,000)
Seven years for abuse of power.
The life sentence will be executed in full.
His political rights will be deprived for life.
The court thinks Defendant Chen Wei
broke the country's law in his economic activities.
He bribed a public worker with money and houses. The amount is huge.
He used illegal means to gain the government's bid.
Yanzhou City's People's Public Prosecutor's accusation against Chen Wei's crime
of bribing a public worker has been clearly proven.
The charge has been established.
According to the first clause of Article 389,
of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China,
the 3rd clause of Article 67,
and according to the explanations contained in 9th Article
on the handling of criminal cases of corruption and bribery
of the Supreme Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
Here's our sentence:
All rise!
Defendant, Chen Wei was given
eight years for bribery...
At the same time, when the Yanzhou Court announced Chen Wei's sentence,
the U.S. Prosecutor obtained new information,
that the Chinese bodyguard, Andy, whom Liu Cai Qi hired before she died
has been arrested in a southern state where he had been hiding.
The California police started the investigation into Liu Cai Qi's death.
Chen Wei's plot of murder will be revealed soon and he will pay for it.
He will be severely punished.
He will have to spend the rest of his life in prison.
It is too late for him to regret now.

One morning after everything settled down,
Shu Che left his home.
He just disappeared from everyone's sight.
Mom, I am not a good son.
When you need my support the most, I selfishly left.
I'm sorry.
Facing everything that happened,
I chose to escape.
Please, give me some time. I don't know how long.
Let me re-establish something.
For instance, trust and hope.
Mom, take care of yourself
and my father.
Your son, Che.
He left just like that.
He abandoned his studies, his career, and his family.
The first time it was for benefits. The second time it was for justice.
His love was ruined twice.
[Inpatient Department]
It's delicious, Mom.
That entire summer, even though my body was awake,
I let my soul continue to sleep.
Because in my dreams, I can keep myself distant.
I can escape the pain outside of the dreams.
I couldn't feel that he's gone,
nor the excruciating pain of it.
After Weiye Group's Board meeting discussion,
the voting results for the new CEO of the company is being announced.
15 people approved. 0 people opposed. 0 people abstained from voting.
Ms. Miao Ying will be the successor
as the CEO for Weiye Group. Everyone welcome her.
Thank you for everyone's trust.
I know, becoming the CEO at this time,
I have to face more pressure and responsibility...
like never before.
I don't know if I will live up to your trust and become a rescuer,
but I will work hard.
I will learn and I will reconstruct.
I'd like for everyone here
to teach me and criticize me.
At the same time, my style will be entirely different.
When it comes to major decisions,
maybe I will even change the rules.
Be a revolutionary.
Please, tolerate me.
I will return to the US to finish my final two years of study.
So while I'm away,
the Deputy CEO, Mr. Fu Cheng,
will be in charge of the company's daily management.
[The Second Prison of Yanzhou]
Dad.
Miao Ying. Weiye Group is in your hands now.
I am relieved. Congratulations.
What is there to congratulate? You know that's not what I wanted.
But you're my daughter. It's your responsibility.
Father.
Do you regret this?
Regret?
I have never thought about it.
How come?
I really haven't.
Why not?
In my world,
if you don't follow the unspoken rules,
you won't be arrested,
but you will more than likely be unable to achieve anything.
Daughter, you're different.
You have to learn from my mistakes.
Everything I stood for,
you have to be opposed to it.
You have to go the opposite way.
Because you will be able to change the rules of this game.
You will change this world.
When you go back to America, do me a favor.
Say it.
Find Liu Cai Qi's grave.
Buy some flowers and visit her for me.
I will pay her back with the rest of my life.
Is Xiao Qing okay?
I heard she got out of the hospital a long time ago.
Her stab wound wasn't very deep and not in a critical spot.
Do you still like her?
Do you hate her, complain about her, and love her?
After I stabbed her, I got over her.
I have never been a good person, not even for a minute.
From the green card marriage in the beginning,
to the academic cheating.
Then I was expelled, ran away from home, and partied like crazy.
Now, I am in prison.
It's just three years. You can wipe out all of the bad from before.
You can start a new life. You still have me.
Our home. Our store.
Why does scum like me deserve your love?
You're not scum. You deserve it.
You're really stupid. You should top up your IQ credits.
I am really stupid.
But let me be stupid, okay?
The new semester after the summer holiday of 2015, I ended my leave of absence from school.
I went back to San Francisco and Stender University where I had been away from for months.
I continued my studies at the law school.
Let's go.
Meeting Monica again is like turning on a switch in me.
It has awakened me from that long sleep.
All the senses I'd thought had already become vague and dull,
came back to life immediately.
In that moment, I knew pain had never been far away.
It will stay in my body forever.
Finished. Thank you.
- You need some help? - No, I'm okay.
- Okay. - Are you alright?
Okay, go.
Okay, let's go.
