[The Golden Eyes]
[Episode 53]
Tell me. You ran for your life all the way here from China. What plans do you have?
Ran for my life? Those words aren't really suitable, right?
Is there anyone chasing after me?
Of course, I came because I have my own important plan.
There's still profit to be made now in the antique circle.
As long as you can grasp the appropriate direction and channel,
it is just a matter of a few minutes' work to flip your capital two or three times.
But going back to it,
I heard you recently are not too happy with your business here in Kiev.
How about collaborating with me?
Don't beat around the bush.
You came to get the jade eye, right?
I know a bit about what happened between you and Qin Haoran back in our country.
Although I don't know the purpose of you coming to get the jade eye,
as long as you promise to give me what I deserve,
I will definitely do my utmost to cooperate with you.
As long as you proceed according to my plan, you will get the share that you should get.
Furthermore, you will also benefit from my future businesses here in Kiev.
Brother De is straightforward. It's a deal.
It's a deal then. What is that about?
Come, everyone.
All of you are friends of Mr. Nakagawa and myself. You came on a difficult journey from far away.
If you need anything, tell me anytime.
- Come. - Thanks. Thanks.
Is the jade eye still in the safe deposit vault of the museum?
It is. I personally check on it every day.
The jade eye is very safe.
They came here this time because of the jade eye.
Why don't we go over there and take a look again?
Is the jade eye or your health more important?
You should rest well instead.
You just regained your consciousness.
Hurry and eat.
Correct. Zhuang Rui, with the jade eye kept here, you have less to worry about.
Your mission now is to decrease the side effects of the Golden Eyes to its lowest level.
I will also find our best doctor. I hope it will be helpful to you.
Thanks. Thanks.
Thank you, everyone.
You are all so kind.
Sorry.
Hello. Right.
What are you planning to do next?
The real jade eye is now probably still inside the family museum of someone by the name of Victor.
And the security facility of this museum is perfect.
I'm afraid we still have to put in some hard work if we hope to get the jade eye.
I have heard of this Victor.
He enjoys a little bit of fame here.
He and his wife Elena
have a large circle of friends here.
Their resources and connections are not to be underestimated.
If we do it by force, we indeed won't benefit at all.
Whatever it is, just make sure you keep an eye on it properly.
There is surely a loophole. If you find the right timing, make your move.
Do you need my cooperation in other areas?
Besides the jade eye, I also want a person.
Dead or alive?
No need.
Okay.
- Sorry. - Is there any news?
According to my private sources, the Uncle De whom you've mentioned has already met up with Long Kun.
This Long Kun is a well-known antique merchant in Kiev.
Not only does he straddle between the police and the mafia,
he is also a business competitor who poses certain threats to us.
I have planted my man around him,
and he continuously collects business intel for us.
According to him, Long Kun canceled everything that is on his itinerary today.
He went to an abandoned warehouse in the outskirts
to meet a middle-aged Asian businessman.
And there is news from the museum, too.
Recently, there were some people of unknown identity keeping surveillance around the museum.
Looks like Uncle De has already taken action.
Would it be safer then to transfer the jade eye out?
I think it is best if we don't transfer the jade eye now.
This group of people is looking for an opportunity to take action.
The process of transferring the jade eye might even be more dangerous.
Correct.
The security measures of the safe deposit vault are very tight.
They can't steal anything.
I will put additional manpower
to help with the museum's security system.
I will also go.
Zhuang Rui, you are also a target whom they are paying attention to.
You should be extra careful.
I think it is better that you rest in Victor's house for now.
If you want to know the cause of my death,
come to George Hotel, Room 102.
Gu Tianfeng?
It can't be. Old Master Gu?
The phone number of the message is concealed.
It must have been sent by the murderer.
Uncle De?
Very likely.
Zhuang Rui, this is surely a trap. You definitely can't go.
Mr. Victor, where is the George Hotel?
At the intersection near Nyeva Street.
Then, a total of how many roads lead to George Hotel?
Two. They are both small streets.
The nearest street from here takes about a little over ten minutes to get there.
No, you definitely can't go.
He is a murderer. It's too dangerous.
I think Uncle De wouldn't hurt me.
Xiao Rui, why do you still trust him at a time like this?
If Uncle De wanted to hurt me,
he wouldn't have waited until now.
We must ensure your safety; otherwise, don't think of going anywhere.
Perhaps, this is a good chance to find out about Uncle De's intention.
Then, let's not delay this matter. Let's set out quickly.
If you must go, Peng Fei and I will send you there.
Elena, I will leave you to take care of the restaurant. Is that okay?
No problem.
You can also deploy my men.
We discovered some suspicious looking people outside.
My house is also under surveillance now.
[Come alone. Otherwise, you will not get anything.]
All of you, wait for me near George Hotel.
I will share my location with you. I'll go alone.
In the directions of 9 and 1 o'clock.
Something's wrong. Zhuang Rui changed his direction.
Sorry, the number you dialed has been switched off.
- Let's go. - Okay.
[Haze]
Okay. I've already arranged it.
Stop!
Boss says he wants him alive.
Xiao Rui, are you all right?
Thank you.
Despicable!
They lured Feifei away deliberately and attacked you along the way!
Fortunately, Elena's men came just in time.
Who is the one who said Uncle De wouldn't hurt you? Does your face hurt?
It couldn't be Uncle De. These are Long Kun's men.
Long Kun and Uncle De are in collusion.
Without Uncle De's instruction, why would Long Kun kidnap you?
Mr. Zhuang, I'm afraid it is not safe here, either.
Long Kun's men are outside at both my house and the museum.
Here, it is not like back home. We can only remain passive in many things.
We can only remain passive in many things.
Xiao Rui, why don't we slow down a bit about the matter concerning Uncle De?
- No! - Let's not endanger our lives.
No! I can't watch helplessly for the jade eye to be robbed just like that.
Why are you so stubborn?
Which is more important, your life or the jade eye? You should know very well in your heart.
My grandfather and Grandfather Gu were both killed by Uncle De.
I can't let it go just like that.
Please don't worry, everyone.
Peng Fei and I will protect Zhuang Rui.
Right.
Since this is the case, Mr. Zhuang, I can only transfer you to another place.
During this period of time, try not to appear in public.
Don't worry about the museum.
I have increased security. The jade eye is very safe.
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Victor.
You are really kind.

You have really disappointed me.
You want to catch someone from within the sphere of influence of Victor and Elena, and you want him alive, too.
This matter is too tough.
He's just an antique merchant. Why are you so afraid of him?
Why should I be afraid?
Okay. Just continue to keep an eye on Victor.
I will handle the remaining matters.
It is more secluded here. Long Kun's men would not be able to find you for the time being.
Please sit.
- Are you not feeling well again? - Yes.
Here, take your medicine quickly.
I'm fine. Where is the jade eye?
Why are you still thinking of the jade eye in a time like this? Quickly rest.
I'm really fine.
Perhaps all along, I'm still unable to accept the reality that Uncle De is a murderer.
He is my friend and my teacher.
He was the person I respected the most.
He was also the person I wanted to become the most.
I just never expected that...
I really never expected it.
Perhaps, it is the Golden Eyes.
The Golden Eyes are the root of all evil.
Zhuang Rui,
don't try to find excuses for the wicked anymore.
The Golden Eyes is not the source of all wickedness.
It is the greed in human hearts.
Correct. Look, I love money, too.
But I will definitely not do so many evil things because of money.
Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will be with you.
And me, too.
Teacher Xiao Jia's call.
Teacher Xiao Jia.
Dear.
Why are you looking for me?
You have not sent any messages to me the whole day. What happened to all of you?
Let me tell you this. It's really too thrilling today. Xiao Rui was almost kidnapped!
Fortunately, I protected him heroically.
It's us. Right. Everyone is here.
That... some of the merit should still go to them, right?
Who was the one protecting him?!
Feifei! Why are you eavesdropping on us?
You are very loud. I don't need to eavesdrop!
Don't go away! Why are you like this?
Breakfast is here.
Wow!
So much?
What is it?
What are you looking at? Eat!
Come, eat more.
Kojima!
I brought food for you.
That's great.
I was afraid you might not get used to the food here, so I made some bento meals myself.
What is this?
Nothing.
Hope you won't find it too plain. Try some.
Eat more.
Graceful in the drawing room, skillful in the kitchen.
I think I'll just eat the bread.
I like bread better.
Me, too.
Those men outside the museum have all retreated.
Zhuang Rui, it's Victor.
Okay. Please pay attention to safety, too.
Victor said Long Kun's men have all retreated from the museum.
Suddenly?
They must have some other plans.
No matter what, the security in the museum must be strengthened for the time being.
Xiao Fei, if you are not attending to anything serious, why don't you go and help Victor?
I have to ensure your safety.
I'm fine. I don't think Long Kun's men can find this place that quickly.
Their men retreated from the museum suddenly.
I think they are taking other actions.
No matter what, no mishap can happen to the jade eye.
Peng Fei, you go. This place will be fine with me here.
I can remain here to protect Mr. Zhuang, too.
This is also Mr. Nakagawa's intention.
Thank you. My thanks to Mr. Nakagawa.
Fool, say something.
Xiao Fei, if you have nothing else, you can go there first.
Okay. You go with me.
I want to accompany Xiao Rui Rui.
You come with me. I'm afraid you might just drag Xiao Rui down if anything happens here.
I... would drag him down? Me?
Why did you recall all my men?
A'Kun, don't be anxious. I have my own arrangements.
My men worked hard to keep an eye on them for two days.
It wasn't easy to finally wait for a chance.
With one word, you just withdrew all of them.
What's the meaning of this?
You worked hard to keep an eye on them for two days.
As a result, you did not manage to kidnap him and even alerted them.
Now, the museum is well fortified, secured like a city protected by a wall of metal and a moat of boiling water.
Even a fly couldn't fly in there.
If you still don't recall your men, won't it show that you are too stupid?
Let me tell you this.
Preys are always very careful. You must be patient.
- The weather is very cold. - It's cold enough.
Wear more clothes next time.
It's that Japanese.
Who is it?
It's me, Kojima.
We have been exposed.
How did they manage to find us so quickly?
Could someone have divulged our whereabouts?
If Elena could plant spies within Long Kun's organization,
then Long Kun could also arrange to have his moles in the museum.
Whatever it is, we must transfer immediately.
Why don't we meet up with Peng Fei first?
Wait a moment.
Something's happening. Quickly follow.
Our cooperation is not bad.
- Bring him away. - Zhuang Rui!
Didn't they say they were coming over to meet up with us?
Why are they taking such a long time?
Wait a while more.
Zhuang Rui.
We meet again.
Young people are often too impatient.
Why are you so impulsive?
We have not seen each other for some time now. Just sit down and relax.
Let's have a good chat and drink some tea.
Why?
I keep telling myself that
you are not the murderer. You are not.
Why?
When you stood in front of me
to block Qin Haoran's muzzle,
was that also planned by you?
Qin Haoran?
He's too stupid. What can I do?
Qin Haoran,
if you dare to hurt Zhuang Rui, you have to do it over my dead body.
Do you really think I dare not shoot?
At worst, let the fish die and the net split (life and death struggle), and we'll all perish together.
You provoked him on purpose. You provoked him on purpose to shoot!
In front of the police, how would he have any chance of pulling the trigger?
Furthermore, keeping his life
will forever be a threat to me.
I have always respected you as my teacher
and role model.
I never thought that you were this kind of person;
a murderer whose hands are covered with blood!
Haven't I also repeatedly placed high hopes on you, too?
I have always considered you as the only choice for my successor.
And what's the outcome? You're a child who can't be taught!
What a pity.
What a pity that you have this pair of eyes
which boast of being able to look through everything in the universe.
But you didn't even look at the evidence that was right before your eyes!
- What can I do then? - You...
Why did you really do it?
You know about Gu Tianfeng.
He is a little bit noisy.
He is always doing things in an untimely and inopportune manner.
What can I do about it then?
Actually, I thought that all those who knew about what happened then had passed away.
I never expected there was one Gu Tianfeng left.
Furthermore, he even managed to find some clues after such a long time had passed.
And he even made contact with Ryosuke Nakagawa.
Tell me. What should I do?
I blame myself for being momentarily careless, too,
for allowing Zhuang Qiming to reveal tiny hints and clues in that letter of his.
Otherwise, it wasn't necessary for him to die.
After all, he was a person with real abilities, too. Right?
Otherwise, tell me. What was I supposed to have done?
If he didn't die, wouldn't I have been in danger then, Child?
Actually, he should have been contented with his life.
If not for Zhuang Qiming taking his place in that archaeological expedition to Gansu,
he would have died a long time ago, so don't feel distressed over it.
Xiao Rui was taken by Long Kun's men.
Do you know where he is?
Where's Kojima?
Kojima is missing, too.
She should have been taken at the same time as Zhuang Rui.
Rest for a while first.
When we found you, you had already collapsed in the alley.
It's all my fault for not protecting Zhuang Rui well.
Don't blame yourself too much. It's good that nothing serious happened to you.
The most important thing now is to find a way to save Zhuang Rui and Kojima.
- I'll go now. - I'll go, too.
All of you, please calm down first!
We don't know where Zhuang Rui and Kojima were taken to. How are we going to rescue them?
Furthermore, Long Kun is quite powerful.
Even if the both of you are very capable individuals,
using only a few to fight a larger force is not the best strategy, right?
Zhuang Rui's status is special. His life should not be in any danger. We still have time.
The main task now is to transfer the jade eye to a safe place.
Mr. Nakagawa, what situation are we facing now?
Human life is beyond value, and you are still concerned about that piece of jade?
Can that piece of jade be more important than Xiao Rui and Kojima's lives?
Mr. Peng, if we fail in guarding the jade eye,
we would lose our last chance to negotiate.
When necessary, we can use the jade eye to exchange for the lives of Xiao Rui and Kojima.
Nakagawa is right. As long as the jade eye is with us,
they won't dare do anything bad to Zhuang Rui and Kojima.
All of you, please don't be anxious.
I will find out quickly where Zhuang Rui is being kept.
What do you think helped you achieve what you have now?
It is hard work? Or innate ability?
No. None of them.
It... is those Golden Eyes.
Those Golden Eyes changed your destiny.
It also changed the destiny of all the people related to it. And, of course, that includes me, too.
You are you. I am me.
Correct. You are you, and I am me. I am an illegitimate child without a father.
But not long after my mom remarried, she threw me aside.
Abandoned. Let me tell you this.
During that time, surviving was as hard as getting to Heaven.
You don't understand. Do you know what that feeling is like
when a person reaches the stage of extreme hunger?
Do you know what that feeling is like when you are always given the supercilious look by others, and your forehead is forever lowered?
That's called the low point of life.
The moment I was born, I was at a low point of life.
What does it mean to excel among my peers? I don't even dare think about it,
unless an opportunity comes along.
If any opportunity should come along,
I must grab hold of it even if I had to fight with all my life.
That winter forty years ago,
an archaeological expedition team came to our village.
The job of the guide is a lucrative one.
The people in the village fought over it.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Qiming showed great mercy and chose me to be the guide.
Good. So, I led the expedition team and started walking until we reached Feng Quan's tomb.
The accident which occurred inside Feng Quan's tomb
thoroughly changed my destiny.
