Are you ready, Mr. Jiang?
Speak.
All ready, Miss Lin.
As new stars among lawyers,
today, we continue to speak out for justice.
Here's to justice.
I
have eyes that can see through the lies.
Eyes.
And you
have ears that can hear the truth.
Ears.
Your ears.
Now, as partners,
if we work together,
we'll be unstoppable!
Unstoppable.
We'll be invincible.
Invincible.
Very good.
Done.
What?
A new case.
A case about a student's suicide.
It's tricky.
You should look it over.
The client is waiting in the meeting room.
Already?
He's a bit emotional.
It may be tough talking to him.
Be careful.
You know me.
There's no client I can't handle.
Good luck.
Hello, Mr. Lu.
If there's anything to specify
or that I can help with, please tell me.
I will try my best.
Miss Lin,
my son was an A-student.
A top student in our province.
Not only was he awarded scholarships,
to cover four years of college,
he was also recommended for grad school.
And now,
such a brilliant kid
on the cusp of graduation
is dead because of the school.
Miss Lin,
you must see that justice is served.
The school needs to be closed.
And the teacher who bullied my son
should be put to death!
Mr. Lu,
we understand how you feel.
But we're taking civil action,
not criminal action.
So,
we can only seek compensation.
What are you saying? I'm hard of hearing.
Louder please. What did you say?
What sentence will he get?
I said
we're taking civil action,
not criminal action.
So, there won't be any sentencing.
There won't be a sentence.
Why won't there be?
The killer must pay for his crimes.
Calm down. Let me explain.
Your son committed suicide.
So,
neither his teacher nor the school
is directly liable.
They should be liable!
They killed my son!
No. I mean...
Alright.
As far as the law is concerned here,
we can investigate the school.
As for the teacher's oversights...
My sight is fine!
You need to set this right!
He must pay with his life!
Otherwise, what good are you to me?
You were saying...
What kind of lawyer are you?
Do you even understand?
A life for a life!
He must pay for killing my son!
He killed my son!
It has nothing to do with me.
Professor Ma, just calm down.
As far as I know,
Lu Tao was a grad student.
He should have graduated last year,
but you weren't satisfied with his thesis,
so you held him back a year.
Is that correct?
Did you have to bring it up?
It makes me so angry!
That Lu Tao
never completed his graduation project.
He was a loser without any hope!
Professor Ma,
as your lawyer,
it's my duty to inform you that
what you just said
is bad for you and the school.
Well, it's the truth.
I expected a lot from Lu Tao.
But what happened?
He kept getting worse and worse.
He really disappointed me.
That's why I held him back.
Have you ever considered
that the research
was too difficult and stressful?
Could it be
that you asked too much?
Scientific research is rigorous.
If you're unqualified and unmotivated,
it's impossible to focus on research.
I expect nothing but the best
out of my students.
They go on to work
for the top research institutions.
I won't accept failure.
They have to win.
You have to win.
You cannot lose.
Is winning that important to you?
Professor, have you considered that
your planning for their careers after college
may not be what they want?
They may have goals of their own.
I don't have any problem with that.
If Lu Tao couldn't stand up to
the pressure of school,
how would he have made it in society?
I admit it's elite education.
But think about it.
Growing up in an environment
where only success and results matter,
leads to unhappiness,
depression,
and eventually,
a breakdown.
As far as I know,
you graduated from Columbia.
What you have now in life
is due to your elite education, isn't it?
The student, Lu Tao, was from your school?
Lu Tao?
I met him before.
His mental state didn't seem well.
I heard his mentor tormented him.
That's why his father
is blaming the mentor
for his son's death.
As for accountability,
only the school can be held.
Right.
Now we're trying to get
compensation from the school.
His father is actually suing the school.
If...
we're looking at the school,
this won't be easy.
Indeed.
But I want to take this case.
I fully admit that,
Mr. Lu can be quite stubborn.
However,
I feel so bad for him.
Think about it.
It wasn't easy raising his son.
He attached all
his hopes and dreams onto him.
But now,
all of that is gone.
What a tragedy.
So,
I'm going to reorganize all the material.
He isn't able to hear very well,
so I'm writing this all down for him.
It'll make things easier
for communication.
Right?
Alright.
I'll be up late tonight.
I'll join you.
Thank you.

= Lin's Fried Chicken =
Welcome.
What would you like, sir?
I saw
that you're hiring.
You're here
looking for work?
Here, here. Have a seat.
Here's the deal.
I've been looking for some help.
I can't handle everything myself.
As you can see,
my restaurant is small.
I've got a few tables inside
and a few more outside.
The workload is not much.
You'd need to keep the place clean.
But your main duty would be delivering.
As you see,
this is a small business.
I'm afraid,
I can't pay you a lot.
That's fine.
Honestly,
that isn't a concern.
I'm from the countryside.
Right now I'm just trying to get by.
How much can you pay?
I...
I can pay you 2,000 a month.
That'll be great.
Thank you.
Is that a yes?
Yes, I want the job.
But, as you can see, I run a small business.
I can't provide you accommodations.
It's fine.
The money is enough.
I have a place to sleep.
That's... That's great.
Well, then...
Then when can you start working?
I can start right now.
Now?
Right, I can start now.
That's wonderful.
You're a hard worker.
Great.
You're so generous.
Great, great.
Right, what's your name?
I'm Li Dayong.
You can call me Dayong.
Alright.
Dayong.
Good name! Good name!
Come with me. Let me show you around.
Come on.
Look, this area is for tea.
And in here...
I can't read I don't want this!
Mr. Lu...
I want the teacher to pay with his life!
Please listen to me.
Mr. Lu,
you've lost your son
and you feel terrible about it.
We understand.
But Lu Tao committed suicide.
We can't help you seek revenge
or try to get someone put to death.
This is...
Is this how the law works?
This is bullshit!
You city people are selfish and cold!
The law can't help me!
It's all bullshit!
You city people are so selfish and cold!
Please...
Especially you!
You're an irresponsible lawyer!
You're a worthless lawyer!
How dare you? We're calling the police.
She's irresponsible!
Are you all right?
Oh, my son...
What can I do?
No one believes that you were killed.
If I'd listened to what he said
on the phone before jumping,
he might be alive now.
This case is more complicated than it seems.
What do you mean?
Take the case.
Xiaoyang,
let's talk with Mr. Lu.
Wait a moment.
I want to take the case.
Please trust me.
How's Lu Tao's case going?
Can you win?
Don't worry.
I have faith that we'll win.
Wanjiang University
is the top one in our profession.
Most of their law students go on
to work in this field,
which means our industry
is paying special attention to this case.
So is the media.
I've been getting calls asking about the case.
Siyu,
our firm is putting our reputation on the line.
You have to win.
Don't you worry.
Even if that were not the case,
I would still give it 110%.
Alright, tell me more.
Did you meet Professor Ma?
Yes.
I don't completely agree with
his notions of elite education.
But I do believe that
the pressure he put on Lu Tao
wouldn't have caused him to kill himself.
The problem lied with Lu Tao himself.
This aspect is our opening
to win this thing.
That's good.
Oh right,
Lu Tao's father has a lawyer,
Lin Xingran from Cheng Tian.
Then I definitely can't lose.
I feel if you have recovered,
you should move out of Lin Xingran's home,
so you don't cause her any trouble.
I think you're the one
that find my presence troubling.
I already know about your relationship.
You can't protect her forever.
I hope you can let her lead a normal life.
I don't need anyone to protect me.
I can take care of myself, okay?
I know.
You feel like you owe me for what I did.
That's why you want to help me.
But, you know,
I was just doing what I thought was right.
You owe me nothing.
You don't need to do this.
Mr. Zhang,
who are you exactly saying this to me as?
My brother-in-law?
You're not.
You're just a boy.
A bit of excitement gets you going.
Let me ask you.
When will you stop pretending
to be her little brother?
You're not even brave enough to express your love.
What should we have for dinner?
How about hot pot?
Sounds great. Hot pot then.
That's Mr. Zhang of Cheng Tian.
I saw him in a trial.
Calm, professional and quick minded.
He is the best.
Most of all, he's mature. Such a gentleman.
Right. Right.
Let's get out of here.
Hi, Mr. Jiang.
What's up?
What can I do for you?
No need. -This way please.
You want some water?
You hot?
What's wrong?
What are you doing? You're scaring me.
Stop this.
I...
want to ask you something.
Today at the office,
did you hear what Lu Tao's dad was thinking
so that you told me to take the case?
I heard...
Hold on.
Go ahead.
His dad said,
if he'd listened to
what his son said on the phone,
he might be alive.
And?
That's all.
Nothing else?
That's all?
And you told me to take the case hearing this?
You gotta be kidding me.
Lu Tao's dad went to the extremes,
but I believe what I heard.
There's more to the case than it appears.
I think so, too.
Since I've taken the case,
I will take full responsibility,
and get to the bottom of it.
Tomorrow, I'm going to where his dad works,
to look for clues.
Let's split up then.
I'll go to the school.
It's my school too,
so it's better if I go.
Good for you, young man.
You're a person of action, a lot like me!
Thanks to your guidance.
You're welcome.
A new comer like you is really lucky
to have a senior like me.
Beyond lucky!
Tomorrow, you get to help me out.
It's a big deal for you.
Don't let me down.
I gotta work.
What would Zhang Xiaoyang do if he were me?
He's so experienced.
I need his advice.
= Lin's Fried Chicken =
Hello,
your chicken.
With garlic.
Please enjoy.
Waiter.
I asked for sesame sauce.
And you gave me garlic sauce.
What?
Sir, you did order the garlic sauce.
I don't want garlic sauce now.
I want sesame sauce.
Well, your garlic sauce is almost finished.
Why don't you order some sesame sauce?
You're gonna talk back to a customer?
No.
I want to talk to your boss.
No, I didn't mean that.
Sir, well,
alright.
I'll give you some free sesame sauce
and an extra order of pickles.
Please calm down.
If you like our food,
please recommend it to your friends.
Right,
this is our new take-out menu.
When you order, be sure to leave me a note.
I'll throw in some free pickles.
What I said was...
Alright, enough.
You heard what he said.
What's the problem?
Boss,
the service here is great.
I'll take a menu too.
Alright.
Here you are.
I'll be sure to come by again.
Thank you. Thank you.
I'll go get the sesame sauce.
Here, Dayong.
Alright.
Thank you.
Sir, your sesame sauce and some pickles.
The pickles are good.
My boss made them herself. They're organic.
He's good.
He's simple and honest,
and has a quick mind.
That's a relief to me.
Dayong,
what are you doing here?
Boss, I noticed it was dusty over here.
You don't need to clean this area.
I can take care of it.
Thank you.
Boss,
is that your daughter?
Yes, that's my daughter.
She's pretty, right?
The two of you
look happy together.
Yes, I'm lucky to have her.
You don't know.
I've never had to worry about her.
She was a good student.
Look at the certificates and trophies.
See them?
They're all hers.
Have a look at this one.
Check it out.
This is the trophy
she won in her first debate competition.
That's impressive.
Careful.
Boss,
what does your daughter do now?
Well,
she's a lawyer now.
She's just getting started.
She's a junior lawyer.
But I believe,
in the near future,
my daughter will become a famous one.
So,
no matter how hard my work is,
I feel it's nothing.
Right.
Dayong,
at your age,
you must have a child, too.
A boy or a girl? How old?
My...
My family have all passed away.
I'm all alone.
Boss, I'll get to work.
Hello, excuse me.
Did you know Lu Tao?
No.
I'll send it to you later. It's really neat.
Excuse me, did you know Lu Tao?
No.
I want to ask something, sir.
What are you doing?
Taking a vacation here?
What time is it?
Have you done your work?
It's been half a day, you know?
You ate much.
What about your work?
Are you here to play or what?
Go to work!
You slob.
Hurry up!
What happened?
What did you do?
Laugh if you want to.
I don't want to.
Don't be upset.
I didn't expect you would come to help.
When the case is over,
I will treat you...
If you have time to buy me food,
use it to figure out what your client is thinking.
Do you know why he tore up your proposal?
Are you Lu Tao's father?
Excuse me,
I'm Mr. Zhang.
From Cheng Tian Law Firm.
Let me help you with them.
Hello, excuse me.
Are you Lu Tao's old roommates?
Who are you?
Are you a...
Journalist? Or a lawyer?
I can't tell others about Lu Tao.
I don't want any trouble.
I'm also a student here.
I didn't know Lu Tao.
I'm just curious why he killed himself.
And I plan to choose Professor Ma as my mentor.
So I'm a little uneasy about what happened.
Since you're really considering it,
I suggest a different mentor.
Right.
Why?
I heard Professor Ma is very strict.
But a little strictness
can be good sometimes.
It's more than that.
He took Lu Tao as cheap labor,
making him do all the hard work.
Even the best student wouldn't have succeeded.
I bet Professor Ma didn't want him to graduate.
That's enough.
We should go.
Hey wait.
As his roommates,
you don't feel bad about what happened to him?
How would he feel about this?
We feel nothing.
We just lived together,
but we never knew him.
He was an odd character.
He's always alone, coming and going.
It's true.
In three years,
he said ten sentences to us at most.
He spoke more to that streamer girl.
Streamer girl?
Right.
She's really popular nowadays.
What's her name?
Tao Xinxin.
A nerd's wet dream.
He spent so much money on her,
constantly donating to her stream.
I regret giving him the download link
for that Campus Loan App.
Tao Xinxin?
Campus Loan?
Let's go.
Mr. Lu's construction job is dangerous.
Lu Tao's mom is in poor health.
To afford his son's education,
he did lots of hard work.
He has poor hearing
because he's been working
in noisy environments for years.
And he didn't go for any treatment.
He'd rather put up with a world of noise.
= Please get justice for my son! =
His son
was the only hope in his life.
His son's sudden death
left him helpless and in pain.
My son...
He is crying helplessly inside,
and the truth underneath...
My son...
It can only be heard
when you stand by his side.
It's the only way to help him.
Here.
Thank you.
It's cold.
There are many things in this world
that sadden me.
What's wrong?
Do you have any leads?
Mr. Lu leads a far more difficult life
than I'd thought.
I'm his lawyer,
but I failed to notice it.
It makes me feel sorry.
Take it easy.
No one is born perfect.
But Zhang Xiaoyang is better than me.
Why do you mention him again?
I went to the construction site,
and I saw another version of him.
He's always strict.
As he's strict with me,
I can see my shortcomings.
This is my case.
And he helped me because of his sense of justice.
You didn't see what he looked like.
I misunderstood him.
He is indeed an admirable lawyer.
Alright,
continue your investigation
with this admirable lawyer.
You don't need to know
what clues I've got.
What's wrong with you, Jiang Xia?
I just praised him a bit. Don't get jealous.
Clues.
Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia, come on.
What?
Rewarding a streamer?
I went to the school and
got his expense calendar.
In addition to his online loans,
he spent money his father gave him
for school and expenses
on this streamer.
It seems that Lu Tao had some problems of his own.
Not necessarily.
Perhaps this was just his way
of releasing academic stress.
What if he did have problems himself?
What would we do?
We should figure out the truth
as soon as possible.
But for now,
we can't get distracted.
Our strategy remains unchanged.
I think we should start from the school.
If he killed himself over relationships or debts,
we might have trouble.
We need to prepare for the suit from the school.
I think
his death has something to do with the school.
It could be connected to the streamer,
but she is not the major cause of his death.
How do you know?
Your intuition?
Right.
My intuition.
Wait.
If we go on like this,
we won't get anywhere.
How about we three split up
to investigate more this afternoon?
That will work.
Good idea.
Then,
you and I will meet with the streamer.
She's a girl.
It's better if you're there.
I don't think so.
Look, as I see it.
Mr. Zhang, you're experienced.
You can handle your work on your own.
But me.
I'm a newbie.
I need her guidance.
What if I miss something?
Right?
But I still think...
In my opinion...
I should go with Jiang Xia.
He hasn't graduated yet.
He'll need me more than you will.
You make a good point.
He's an intern after all.
You should help him out.
Alright.
It's just about time to eat.
Lunch is on me today.
We can discuss the case while we eat.
Well,
I can't go.
I have something at school to do.
See you later.
This one.
Sorry,
we only have a room for 10 people.
Only one room?
Should we take it?
What a coincidence.
I'll get to work.
We're neighbors and here we all are.
I don't feel like eating. I'm going.
You're already here.
How about
we share a table?
Lunch is all served. Please enjoy.
I heard you took the case about that student,
and that his father
is an uncouth migrant worker.
This case must be hard for you.
Was everybody from your law firm
a gibbon in your previous life?
You sure are nosy.
You represent the school.
We're not in court yet,
and you're already judgemental about my client.
That's not professional at all.
Besides,
what's wrong with migrant workers?
They built your apartments, didn't they?
You think yourselves
are so wonderful, don't you?
There are tens of thousands of students,
only Lu Tao committed suicide.
To be fair, it's to do with his mindset.
He didn't respect his life.
He chose an extreme exit plan
and left others with the fallout.
What good can be said from this?
So the school's only at fault
when every single student decides to jump?
As far as I know,
Lu Tao was not qualified.
Lu Tao's death is on his mentor's pressure
and the school for failing to regulate his mentor.
But you think the victim is the only one to blame?
You're a lawyer.
You ought to be more rational.
You mean that
if a flying rock hits someone,
the one who gets hit is at fault,
not the one that threw the rock, right?
Unbelievable!
It's Lu Tao's fault
for not reaching his mentor's standards.
He didn't take responsibility for his life.
How could you hold others reliable?
He's dead. This is not his fault.
So we're looking for the ones who're responsible.
If we don't get to the bottom of it,
Lu Tao's death
won't be the last one.
Let's eat.
Right. Let's eat.
You're good, Xingran.
Your argument was clear and concise.
You made us proud in there.
You had trouble talking with Mr. Lu,
I think now you can deal with anyone.
I've had a change in perspective.
Good for you.
Xiaoyang is interested in this case too.
Take the chance and learn from him.
I expect your cooperation
to push our company to new heights.
I agree.
Okay.
I'm going back now.
Mr. Zhang,
why do you want to work with a nobody like me?
What's the matter?
You've always been confident,
why would you call yourself a nobody?
I am confident.
Yes, you surely are.
More than I was at your age.
What you said in Mr. Lu's defense
was really great.
You've won me over.
So, I'd like to assist you.
What did you say?
You...
I've won you over.
I heard it.
Let's work together, Miss Lin.
Alright. I shall accept.
Let's go.
You're interested in Zhang Xiaoyang, aren't you?
You're up against him this time.
Have you got ready for it?
If he can do this,
then why can't I?
I'll do it.
And I'll win.
Do you need my help?
How will you help me?
I have a friend who runs a streaming company
and they have many streamers.
When he read the news about the student,
he told me something interesting.
I have to say goodbye now.
Thank you for your gifts.
I love you.
Remember to visit my stream again.
Remember the name:
"Listen to Your Heart".
I'm here every day to entertain you
and chat with you.
Bye-bye.
See you.
= Lu Tao =
= Kugou Music =
Thank you.
It seems that you know too.
You came here to hush someone up?
Someone?
