of drug production and trafficking.
Are you Li Weimin?
Yes.
We are from the Guangdong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
This is a notification.
Please go with us.
Hold it.
Okay.
Director Zuo.
As you see,
today’s meeting...
Let’s end up here.
Our Steering Group will go back to Guangzhou in the afternoon.
If there is something,
we can keep in touch in the future.
Director Zuo,
I feel really sorry to you.
Sorry.
At the very beginning,
I was planning to treat you for lunch,
but the unexpected thing happened.
Fine.
Yunbo,
you drive Director Zuo for a ride.
No, thank you.
Director Su,
people from the Guangdong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection
took Li Weimin away just now.
Where did it happen?
The meeting room of Dongshan Public Security Bureau.
What’s wrong with Li Weimin?
I came back from Hong Kong to Beijing just now.
Yesterday, Chief Wang called me,
and he told me that
Li Weimin is involved in a corruption case
related to his brother-in-law.
I never thought that
the Provincial Commission for Discipline
Inspection could get a handle to it so quickly.
This is why Chief Wang decided to
ask the Joint Steering Group to leave Dongshan?
Yes, this is one of the reasons.
Zuo Lan,
you bring the Joint Steering Group
back to Guangzhou.
Maybe,
you need to stay in Guangzhou for some time.
The GuangDong Provincial Public Security Department
will investigate what you did in Dongshan.
Maybe the Provincial Commission for Discipline
Inspection will ask you some questions.
You should cooperate with them.
If you have any problem,
just call me.
That’s it.
Director Su.
Director Su?
Director Zuo.
Mayor Chen.
Let’s have a talk.
The trouble Li Weimin has
is due to his wife’s brother, right?
Yunbo,
you call Cui Zhenjiang in the Provincial Public Security Department
to make sure this issue.
In my view,
you, who really take charge of Dongshan Public Security Bureau,
have the responsibility
to call him.
Hello.
Director Cui.
Director Li
was taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
What?
When?
Just now.
When Director Li was in a meeting,
two men from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection came.
From the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection?
What did they say?
Nothing.
They just asked Director Li to go with them.
A few days ago,
in terms of the release of Li Fei,
the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection
received many letters from the masses.
They said that
Li Weimin bent the law
to help Li Fei get rid of the crimes.
I think since the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspectionhas involved now,
there must be other reasons besides letters.
The release of Li Fei
is not a single decision made by Director Li.
Yunbo,
thanks for calling me so quickly.
I will go to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection at once.
If I know something new,
I will inform you.
I also hope that
this event will not affect your work in Dongshan.
You should go on the investigation
of “5.13” case.
You should figure it out as soon as possible.
Yes, Director Cui.
Keep in touch.
Okay.
Ok, that’s it.
I am going to ask Chief Wang about it.
What’s wrong?
The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection
took Li Weimin away.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I saw that
they took him away.
He
was finally taken away.
Eventually!
Hey.
Where are you? It’s too noisy.
I’m in the Home for the Aged,
and listening to the Cantonese Opera.
They sing really well.
What a leisure life!
A leisure life?
Really?
I hope I can live a happy life like them when I am old.
And I can live with some friends.
We can sing and play musical instruments together.
But absolutely
you take charge of the singing part,
and I will accompany you on musical instruments.
Fine, fine.
Okay, bye.
You should have been happy
for Li Weimin has gone.
I am going to submit the report
to ask for changing my working place.
Do you really think that
as long as you leave Dongshan,
everything will be ok?
Lin Yaodong is a businessman anyway.
He will not let you go
if he can’t earn as much as
what he has invested in you.
Lin Yaodong is like a fish that has lived in the sea for a long time.
So, he is too cunning.
Whoever contacts him,
will be affected by him forever.
Director Ma,
I know that
you are investigating me secretly.
Tell me what you have found.
When you worked in the Fengxi Town,
you began to do corrupt practices influenced by Lin Yaodong.
At that time, he just did smuggling,
and bribed you with some money.
Go on.
In 1984,
the provincial government carried out a special program
that was designed for the illegal smuggling cars.
You got the news from your father,
and told Lin Yaodong about it.
Then, he was able to run away to Hong Kong.
In 2008,
Lin Yaodong,
made friends with you
by the Dongshan Chamber of Commerce you organized in Shenzhen.
Two years later,
he came back to Dongshan,
and began to do real estate business
in Tazhai Village.
By these achievements in your work,
you, who used to be the deputy mayor for years,
were appointed as the Dongshan mayor.
Of course,
this is the official version of the story.
The real version is that
Lin Yaodong found you
and asked you to let him come back to Dongshan.
But you refused.
However,
you were still not able to resist
his money and power.
So, you had no way but to let Lin Yaodong come back to Dongshan
as what he expected.
Deputy Mayor Chen,
what do you think of
my proposal?
However,
I still don’t understand it.
Everything went so well
when you were in Hong Kong.
Nearly all the people in Tazhai Village,
wanted to go to Hong Kong to join you.
Why you gave up
such a promising future
but come back to Dongshan
to be a grass-roots cadre
in Tazhai Village?
It seems to be unreasonable and perplexing
from any perspective.
Deputy Mayor Chen,
through all these years in Hong Kong,
I know clearly about the place.
The economic development in Hong Kong seems to be prosperous,
but its economy is single
and weak.
It only contains port trades
and financial transactions.
So, in the past few years,
when the financial crisis came,
the economy was overwhelmed
by it.
This is its weakness.
But most importantly,
I am a Chinese after all.
Chinese emphasize on coming back home when they become old.
I won’t stay in Hong Kong forever,
because my hometown is in Tazhai Village.
I want to go back.
I want to devote myself to
serving people in Tazhai Village
and Dongshan.
But don’t forget
you used to do lots of wrong and illegal things
in Dongshan.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wrong and illegal things I’ve done.
I have to admit that.
I know clearly about the policies in Chinese Mainland.
Now different levels of governments are inviting
wealthy Chinese businessmen all over the world
to come back to invest in China and their hometowns.
I am as good as these businessmen
and I have my own strength.
Take Dongshan for example.
I’ve asked people to investigate there.
The real estate program suits me very well.
At least in Dongshan City,
I could act as a pioneer in the business field.
For the local government,
this will also be an achievement.
We’ve been friends for so many years.
I can’t help you a lot over this matter.
But I can do something for you to make it better at least.
Okay.
Give me some time
and I’ll think about it.
How time flies!
Twenty years have passed.
I’m very happy to see you
in Shenzhen.
Twenty years ago,
it’s you who tipped me off
so that I could escape from the legal sanction.
Today, if you
invite me sincerely
representing the local government,
I will definitely
respond to your call.
I’ll sell all my assets in Hong Kong
to invest in my hometown
and be an honest businessman.
Deputy Mayor Chen,
if you don’t have any disagreement,
I will hold a press conference tomorrow
and invite all the journalists
and well-known media
to announce it
ceremoniously.
Lin Yaodong.
Do remember
if you come back to Dongshan,
you have to tell me
all your actions clearly.
Of course.
I will report to you at any time.
Deputy Mayor Chen.
In 1984,
the reason why you tipped Lin Yaodong off is that
you know that if he doesn’t leave,
it will bring you troubles.
Mayor Chen,
you must have foreseen it .
So,
now,
running away from Dongshan
should be our same goal.
You have been working on the government position for so many years.
Don’t you know that
there are many supervisors watching you?
Don’t you know that the central government
makes lots of effort to control drugs?
Don’t you know that
all illegal things Lin Yaodong has done
will be revealed one day?
I think you are smart enough to notice that
Lin Yaodong’s billions of properties and assets
are not earned
only through the stocks and the real estate business in Hong Kong.
I can make sure that
he earned his first bucket of gold
by illegal drug business.
I am a policeman for drug enforcement.
I have interrogated nine drug kingpins.
And I found that
people who have earned money by drugs once
will not stop it definitely.
Just like the drug addict,
a person who has been involved in drug business once
will not be interested in
other businesses.
Because the drug business can help him earn money easily and quickly.
Compared to other drug kingpins,
Lin Yaodong is much more wicked.
Because he doesn’t only seek for profits.
He wants to build a kingdom in Dongshan
for drug production and trafficking.
For the sake of the safety of this kingdom,
he chases the so-called reputation
and adds titles
to make himself unique.
How…How do you know that?
Because I am a policeman.
He produces drugs but I crack down on drug production.
We
were born to be enemies.
Mayor Chen,
Lin Yaodong will not trust anyone,
including you.
Your younger brother Chen Guangrong
is a lesson for you.
I hope that
you can take my advice today.
Thank you.
Thank you for telling me these things so honestly.
However,
in my view,
the fear and worries you think of may be unnecessary.
You see,
Li Weimin is smart, right?
However,
he was taken away today.
Mayor Chen Wenze,
you don’t know Li Weimin well.
Let me tell you.
He has his eye on Tazhai Village.
Once he is free,
he will not let Lin Yaodong escape,
or you,
or me.
Okay, okay.
Forget about these.
We’ve talked too much today.
I am going to leave.
See you.
Who’s it?
If you need more in the future, just call me.
I will ask others to bring them to you.
Tell me,
how long have you been involved in this?
It’s the first time for me.
But he has been in Dongshan for two years.
You tell me that it’s your first one?
Bro,
it takes time to set up the net of drug production and trafficking.
I am really impressed by Lin Yaodong
for his big plan.
To make the business safe and sustainable,
he organized such a complicated relationship net.
Now, the people in Tazhai Village,
over 20,000 residents,
are willing to do whatever things as they are told by Lin Yaodong.
When it becomes safe enough
to prevent outlanders
and everything goes on smoothly,
he starts his drug business.
This time,
how many kilograms of drugs did he produce?
Where is the target place for drug trafficking?
600 kilograms.
This number sounds lucky.
And he wants to use these drugs to have a first try.
In the future,
it could be tons of drugs.
Bro,
I can promise you
that these drugs will be trafficked overseas.
This is all you need to know.
Mayor.
Mayor Chen.
Hi.
What’s wrong?
Zhao Jialiang has noticed the things we did.
What did he know?
All the things,
including our relationship when you were in Hong Kong
and the current relationship between us.
How did he know?
I didn’t ask him in detail over the phone.
I didn’t admit either
in case of the wiretap.
What’s the purpose for him to call you?
He wants to join us
and to share 51% of the business.
Zhao Jialiang
arrived in Dongshan yesterday.
And then he treated leaders,
saying that he wanted to develop the real estate program.
He even said that he wanted to cooperate with me.
What did he mean?
It seems that he has made preparation for these things.
Be careful.
Yes, we should be careful.
The French police captured so many of my drugs.
So my capital chain is weak now.
I can’t allow it to happen again.
Understand?
If he is a policeman,
the consequence will be beyond imagination.
But in terms of the current situation,
he seems not to be a policeman.
Do the Hong Kong police and the French police
act abnormally?
Not yet.
How about you?
It’s okay.
Li Weimin was taken away by the anti-corruption bureau.
Why?
Because of my trick.
Good.
But now the most important thing is
how to deal with Zhao Jialiang.
Let me think about it.
Give me his phone number.
I want to meet him.
You want to meet him?
Sure.
I must meet him.
My identity is different from you.
I am a grass-roots cadre,
so I can’t just leave.
What’s more, in this field,
we must have face-to-face communication
so that I can see through him.
Wait for my call.
Okay.
Watch out.
Dad, why you came?
Lin Lan has night shift.
She will come back very late.
I come here to meet you.
Tell me.
Do you know Li Weimin’s whereabouts after the anti-corruption bureau took him away?
No.
What else do you want to know?
Is everything okay in the provincial Narcotics Control Bureau?
What’s more,
in Dongshan City,
are there any police forces from other places ?
I don’t know.
I want to know!
What do you mean?
For our safety,
please figure it out.
I see.
What else?
Wait for your call.
Dad,
do you really believe in what Li Fei said?
Jun,
tell me who I can trust now.
Do me a favor.
Help me investigate it.
I want the evidence.
Even if you can find something,
so what?
I owe Sanbao an explanation.
Help me investigate it.
Here.
Where is the money?
Look at the place you chose. Where is it?
Don’t talk nonsense!
Here you are.
They’re real. Where is the drug?
Be patient.
Hurry up!
Let me go.
Who are you?
Don’t move.
Do you know this?
Your name is Liu Zihao, right?
Last July, you robbed a female worker when she was using ATM
and hurt her with a knife.
And then you were arrested.
How much money did your father pay to set you free?
Maybe 700,000 to 800,000 yuan.
Where did he get so much money?
Director Li was just taken away in this way?
This...
As for this thing,
did Director Zuo know nothing at all?
We’ve made a breakthrough from Shrimp
with a lot of efforts.
But now we just got such an end?
So
people say all the drug traffickers in Dongshan are
very cunning and they can control lots of things.
Director Li also has no way to…
I’ve made it clear.
There is nothing abnormal in the Narcotics Control Bureau.
Perhaps
they didn’t expect that
Director Li would be taken away.
Now, Chief Wang is too busy
to deal with the Dongshan issue.
Ok, thanks.
