Director Ma
If a man wants to achieve something,
he cannot let emotions get involved.
You’ve told me that I cannot harm Li Fei.
I’m quite clear about that.
But the thing is different for Li Weimin.
If he continues to stay in Dongshan,
what consequences will be?
You are pretty clear about it.
Mr. Lin.
You’ve thought too highly of me.
I am nobody.
Whether or not my master leaves
is not up to me.
You are the Dongshan Public Security Bureau’s Deputy Director.
Director Ma
You have so many interpersonal connections.
If you can’t do anything,
then we have no choice but to wait.
For one word——
death.
If there is no better way out,
then I am forced to come up with a bad plan.
If it doesn’t end well,
I’m not the one to take the blame.
One more thing.
Your wife’s medicine
is soon running out.
It’s always on my mind.
You know,
I don’t produce heroin.
I only have meth.
I need to buy heroin from my connections.
Can’t do anything about it.
I have to look after every aspect.
The same truth can be applied to all things.
It is not whether you can do,
rather whether you dare to think,
Right?
My master’s brother-in-law.
He is called Zhang Ziqiang.
He is the Director of Tax Bureau in Guangzhou City.
He has a mistress, one of his subordinates.
The mistress is called Gu Yan.
Go ahead.
Three years ago, Zhang Ziqiang turned to me
saying he wanted to break up with the mistress
and lived a normal life with his wife.
But Gu Yan didn’t agree,
threatening that if he breaks up with her,
she would give all the evidences
of him being bribed
to the Discipline Inspection Commission.
Then?
Then,
I came to help him
by talking to Gu Yan,
and problem solved.
What did you do?
Gu Yan has her own dirty secrets.
I learned that she has been bribed by several businesses.
I told her
if you let Zhang Ziqiang go,
I will also let you go.
Does Li Weimin know about this?
He doesn’t know.
But Zhang Ziqiang received too many bribe payments
more than three million Yuan.
Does Zhang Ziqiang know you were helping him?
Probably only part of it.
The only testimony from him
doesn’t pose danger to me.
What’s critical is
that Gu Yan doesn’t know me.
It is possible that some local policemen are bought off,
and the rest of them
are watched closely by drug traffickers.
I have sent investigators from Narcotics Control Bureau
to investigate Tazhai Village.
Hello.
Yes, it’s me.
Okay
I see.
Okay
Comrade Li Weimin,
you are reported.
Let me, dad
Let me,dad
He Ruilong is dead.
Song Qian is not trustworthy.
We are in urgent need of a new agent.
Luckyily we still have these connections in France.
Dad,
I have found
a suitable buyer.
Who is this buyer?
He doesn’t give his real name.
His account name is Sound of Silence.
Account name?
I’ve been doing this business for such a long time,
and I’ve never done with people only with account names.
How do you do business
with people giving account name?
This is a dark net, dad.
Dark net business.
The businesses on dark net, dad,
are under-the-table deals.
They are protected by layers of encryption.
Both buyer and seller don’t know each other’s
server and router information,
so they don’t know each other’s identity.
But for business this big
which you also know is illegal,
if I don’t know his true identity,
I wouldn’t risk.
Dad, how about this?
I will ask him to have a meeting offline.
That will do.
Jingwen,
doing our business
allows unsuccessful deals,
but we can’t afford failure.
I see, dad.
This way, please.
Uncle Min,
What are you doing here?
Can I come inside?
Please.
Come in.
Have a seat.
I am probably leaving for a while.
The Steering Group is leaving Dongshan tomorrow.
Why?
It is the leader’s decision.
The protector of drug dealers in Dongshan policemen hasn’t been found.
Lin Yaodong hasn’t been brought to justice.
You are leaving now.
What does it mean?
Li Fei,
I understand your feelings,
but finding truth
is not your current mission.
Do you know why
I arrange someone to protect you?
Because the May 13 Case hasn’t been closed.
We have to protect your life.
After I leave,
you must take good care of yourself.
Are you here only to go through formality?
To stage a show?
You have done nothing!
You have no sense of responsibility!
Lin Yaodong has such a big power that he can have provincial officers on his side.
He has handled you big guns.
How can you talk like this?
If we have done nothing,
how did you wipe out your suspicion?
and how did you get out of jail?
I only mean to tell you
to eye on the big picture.
What is the big picture?
Not finding the truth?
What is the truth?
Besides having figured out my case,
what else have you done?
If you leave now,
Song Yang’s death is worthless.
Sorry
I’m sorry
Feifei,
I have listened to you well.
All of your words.
You have to know
that we are not retreating
because of difficulties
Sometimes, we retreat
to move forward better.
Am I making myself clear?
That’s what I want to say.
Then, please tell me
what the big picture is?
What is it?
Is it because I am not trustworthy?
or do you only use me as a pawn?
I trust you,
and you are not a pawn.
When all the truth comes out in the wash after a while,
you probably will be
the most critical part
in revealing the whole meth case in Dongshan.
Out of this concern,
I hope you don’t do anything.
No matter what you hear and what you see,
you do nothing!
You must take good care of yourself.
The reason you are here today
is to notice me
that you are leaving tomorrow?
Yeah.
Then I also notice you clearly
that the moment you leave,
I will meet Lin Zonghui immediately.
It’s me.
Uncle Liang,
Lu Tong really disappears.
His landlord said he moved out one month ago.
We also looked for him in casino.
His colleagues in casino said he has already quitted his job.
We have no idea about his whereabout now.
His phone is also out of service.
It seems true
that he has been handled.
I don’t know the exact reasons.
I’m just an intermediary.
Please let me go, man.
I didn't tell Zhao Jialiang about your business.
Let me go please.
I will let you have an easy time.
Stay in Macau
and keep an eye
on Fang Tianyi, the owner of Fuxin casino.
Okay, I see
Lin Zonghui’s daughter Lin Lan,
were my classmates.
Cai Jun and Lin Lan met because of me.
Therefore, based on my knowledge of Lin Lan,
she has nothing to do
with the drug producing in Tazhai Village.
When Lin Zonghui ran his factory in Huizhou City,
Lin Lan and Lin Sanbao stayed at home,
As a result, Lin Lan and Lin Sanbao are close.
Very close.
Now I have an opportunity
to meet Lin Zonghui
and tell him the truth of Lin Sanbao’s car accident.
It’s too dangerous.
What is the probability of success?
I know how far to go and when to stop.
Let me first sound out Lin Zonghui.
I will tell him
what I know it from Wu
In this case, even if Lin Zonghui doesn’t want to be our source，
the truth of Director Cai Yongqiang closing down Sweet Dancing Hall
will not be leaked.
Now
I need to plant in Lin Zonghui
a seed of hatred.
When the time is right,
it will take root.
Do you understand how hard it is
to foster an informant?
It takes all kinds of causes, both internal and external.
It takes time to manage.
I understand
This is not the right time.
We have no evidence about Lin Sanbao’s death.
Why does Lin Zonghui believe us?
If we don’t have evidence, I will look for it.
Pock says that the driver behind this accident
is called Liu Zhi.
I will start from Liu Zhi.
You don’t know what you are doing.
Hello
I’m coming soon.
I ask you one more time.
Do you trust me?
I trust you.
Then please trust me that I can find evidence.
Li Fei, please remember
when I am not in Dongshan City，
No matter what you hear and what you see,
don’t do anything.
Take good care of yourself.
You must remember take good care of yourself.
Hello.
Mayor Chen.
Yes, I’m Mayor Chen. Who are you?
Hello, this is Zhao Jialiang.
Zhao Jialiang from Hongkong Jialiang Trade Company.
Hello, Mr. Zhao.
I am coming to Dongshan City soon.
I am wondering whether Mayor Chen has time tonight
to give me the honor of dining with you.
Mr. Zhao,
What are you doing
in Dongshan?
Mayor Chen is too busy.
I’m afraid you have forgotten me already.
My company
has built a cannery factory in Dongshan.
I want to drop by
and talk to Mayor Chen
about the future investment plan.
Investment plan?
I want to enlarge my investment in Dongshan City.
Mr. Zhao,
you have made me rather curious.
What industries in Dongshan
interest you?
Real estate
It’s said that there are bubbles in the industry of real estate in mainland China.
But I don’t think so.
We all know
that the whole Guangzhou Province has been developing well.
Dongshan lags in comparison.
But Dongshan has Mayor Chen as leader.
I believe
that Dongshan is bound to make significant progress.
Therefore, I want to increase my investment here
by doing real estate.
Real estate
Then are you planning to invest in the form
of sole proprietorship or a joint venture?
Joint venture.
I’d like to talk with you face to face about the details.
Mr. Zhao, how about this?
I will check my schedule
back in office in a minute
to see my plan tonight.
Then I will give you a call.
Okay, I am waiting for your call.
Sorry for troubling you, Mayor Chen.
It’s okay.
By the way,
where do you stay, Mr. Zhao?
I am still on the way.
I am arriving in one and a half hours.
I will stay in Dongshan Hotel.
Okay.
Wait for my call tonight then.
Okay, see you tonight.
Ma’am
Would you like to buy some dried fish?
My dried fish is fresh and cheap.
Come and get some.
I am looking for Liu Zhi.
He is dead.
Ma’am, may I ask
if there are other people in his family?
They are all dead.
Doesn’t he have a wife?
You are so annoying.
Who on earth are you?
Are you sent by Liu Zihao for money?
You come back and tell him
I have no money.
Ma’am,
who is
this Liu Zihao？
Ok. You may leave now. Ok.
Do you remember Zhao Jialiang?
Zhao Jialiang?
Of course. I remember him.
What’s happening?
He comes to Dongshan,
saying he plans to invest in real estate here.
He asks to see me.
He is coming to Dongshan.
A businessman…
Why can a businessman bother Mayor Chen to make a phone call?
Zhao Jialiang wants to do real estate business here
It has to be in the form of joint venture.
The very company qualified,
it seems, is your Dragon Real Estate Development Company.
I think
that it is necessary for you to know this.
If you have no such intention,
I will refuse him using some excuses.
Hold on.
You can meet
and see what he is going to say.
How about this?
You can have this meeting in Chaoshang restaurant.
I will handle it if it’s not convenient for you.
I have to go now.
Zhao Jialiang is here.
Watch him closely.
Is he the man doing business with Cai Qirong and Cai Qichao?
That Zhao Jialiang?
yes
What is he doing here?
I am also wondering.
This is a critical time since there are so many things going around
and too many people here.
They may lead to disorders.
Disorders will cause troubles for us.
Ma’am, may we have some information
about Liu Zihao?
The only person to be blamed is me.
I was not able to give birth to a child for Liu Zhi.
Liu Zihao
Liu Zihao is the child of Liu Zhi and his mistress.
He is a bastard.
Liu Zihao
He is no good.
He takes drugs and uses every pence of his mother.
He didn’t have money to buy drugs,
so he robbed a female worker at ATM machine
who was withdrawing money.
He even hurt her with knife.
We are aware of this.
It was on the news before.
Upon hearing the news,
my husband was worried sick.
He said that so long as we gave money to the victim,
Liu Zihao can get a commutation.
He also said
that he would do anything
to rescue his only child.
Then, what did he do?
Then, someone
was looking for a truck driver.
Liu Zhi took the job.
After coming back home from work,
he told me
that someone was willing to give him a large amount of money.
He was prepaid 500,000 yuan.
He was promised another 500,000 yuan after he finished what he was told to do.
He used the money
to save his only child Liu Zihao.
One day,
he was on his knees saying to me
that he was suffering terminal lung cancer,
and he was coming to the end of his life.
Li Zihao
is the only male descendant among the last three generations.
He asked me to give all the money
to Liu Zihao
in order to compensate for the victim.
You agreed?
I couldn’t say no to him.
Liu Zhi said
after he died,
that no-good boy
would treat me well like his own biological mother
and take care of me till the moment I die.
but Liu Zhi couldn’t know
that no-good boy was such an asshole
even to his own mother,
not to mention me.
You guys
go check my house.
Nothing left there.
All the stuff that can be sold
was taken by him.
Please don’t be angry.
Have a seat.
Take a deep breath.
Why didn’t you call the police?
Calling the police?
He said
that all the stuff in the house
were given to him by his father,
and I am not in the position to own any of them.
The morale, emotions and behaviors
of our staffers
can pose a direct influence on customers.
Only happy staffers
can make customers happy.
Hello, Lin Lan.
It’s really you.
Why do you call me suddenly？
Looking for Cai Jun? He is not here.
No.
I’m looking for you.
Me?
Do you have to work tonight?
Yes, of course. I have been working for half a month.
Cai Jun didn’t complain to you?
Could you help me
reserve a dining room in your restaurant tonight?
for three people.
You don’t usually accept my invitation to dine together.
How come you suddenly want to dine in my restaurant?
To be honest,
are you coming with your girlfriend tonight?
Do you have a dining room or not?
Yes, we do. We absolutely have one for guest like you.
We’ll do anything for you to have a dining room.
Bring your girlfriend rest assured.
I will send the message to you later
on your phone.
Don’t bother.
I’ll go straight to you.
You’ll be in the restaurant, right?
Yes, yeah.
OK.
Then, see you tonight. Bye.
Okay, bye.
So?
You don’t have to go with me tonight.
Dongshan Hotel.
It is Lin Yaodong’s area.
They dare not to ambush me there.
Mayor Chen
Mr. Zhao
Then,
let’s meet
tonight at 6:30
at Chaoshang dining room in Dongshan Hotel.
What do you think?
Okay,okay.
Then I’ll see you tonight.
Thank you, Mayor Chen.
Okay. No problem. See you tonight.
Okay.
Uncle Liang, we are in Dongshan now.
Zhao Jialiang has already checked in Dongshan Hotel.
Rest assured. I have got all the necessary monitoring equipment installed.
OK.
He comes to Dongshan this time in such a high-profile way.
Under what name?
He claims that he plans to invest in real estate.
He gets such a nerve.
He even went straight to Mayor Chen Wenze.
Zhao Jialiang’s arrival
makes me feel that something is wrong.
I met him at Chao Businessmen Conference.
He looked familiar to me back then.
But I couldn’t remember
where I had met him.
Yaohua, I have such bad memory now.
You didn’t sleep well these days, did you?
How could I get a sound sleep?
I have so much work to do with so many social titles.
Attending classes, meetings, listening to reports.
Besides, I have to handle the things in our village.
Leaving Dongshan?
Why?
It is an order.
We have to execute it.
Joint Steering Group just begins to work.
Why are we given the order to leave?
I will call Director Su Jianguo
to fight for a chance.
It won’t do anything.
It’s the decision of Director Su and Director Wang.
I should call Ma Yunbo.
Why?
I have been in Dongshan for a long time,
and should have paid a visit.
Master
Yunbo
Last night, the Provincial Bureau wanted me back in Guangzhou,
so I left on short notice,
and didn’t mention it to you.
Going back to Guangzhou?
Going back to Guangzhou is good.
Several days ago, your wife was on the phone with my wife Yu Hui.
She complained to Yu Hui
that during the last six months
you only stayed at home
for no more than ten days.
It’s not like that.
She lived such a comfortable life alone.
If I came back,
she would have to cook for me.
Master.
The Bureau asked you to go back at such a time.
Is it because something is wrong?
Yunbo.
Our Storm Program of Cracking Down Drug Trafficking in Dongshan
was such a success.
The Provincial Bureau and the Ministry of Public Security
are rather happy with our achievement.
Therefore, they allow us to stop the work of our Joint Steering Group
now.
Tomorrow,
the Steering Group is leaving for Guangzhou.
This fast?
I have been in Dongshan for quite a long time.
I have so much work to do back in Bureau.
Zhenjiang keeps asking me to come back.
You leave on such a short notice.
I will miss you.
Yunbo.
Actually, I come back to Provincial Bureau,
with a hope of asking permission from Director Wang
to let the Steering Group
stay for a longer time in Dongshan
After all,
the May 13 Case hasn’t been closed.
I don’t feel rest assured.
But Director Wang
He opposes strongly.
He said that our overstaying
got in the way of other people’s work,
adding that Narcotics Control Bureau of the
Ministry of Public Security also agreed with him.
I have no choice
but to execute the order.
Yunbo
well,
The Steering Group and Municipal Public Security Bureau will have a meeting
tomorrow at 10 am
Please organize this meeting.
OK.
I will call Mayor Chen
to see whether he is coming tomorrow.
OK.
It will be better if he comes.
Yunbo
Do you have plans
with Yu Hui tonight?
I should have paid a visit to her,
since I’ve been here for long.
No, we don’t have plans tonight.
I’ve been intending to invite you home.
Considering that you’re busy with the stressful work,
I couldn’t bring myself to ask.
Let me call Yu Hui now,
and ask her to make good preparations.
Please tell Yu Hui
not to make a fuss.
She knows my favorite dishes,
the old three.
Rest assured. You will be happy with the meal.
OK. See you tonight.
Okay, I am going to pick you up soon.
Don’t bother please.
I am close to your house.
I can just walk.
See you tonight.
What’s on your mind?
I wish
that our suspicion toward Ma Yunbo is wrong.
We all have the same wish.
I cared about Ma Yunbo
so much.
The moment I came to Dongshan.
My heart,
my heart was like suffering in hot oven.
You have had suspicion toward him from then?
Not suspicion,
but worry
to be exact.
OK.
Please talk to the other people
about us
coming back to Guangzhou tomorrow.
Okay.
Yu Hui
Have you cooked?
