Chu Yan is gone.
It's true.
The police are already investigating.
The coroner's autopsy was released.
Chu Yan was holding an earring in his right hand.
Your earring was in his hand.
With no other evidence besides this...
you're the primary suspect.
What...
Regarding Mr. Chu Yan's death,
we'd like to ask for Miss Xia's cooperation.
You were away from the apartment
at the exact same time the fire started at the hospital.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
EPISODE 14
You're the one who killed Chu Yan.
Even when Ling Yizhou gets here,
he won't be able to change that fact.
-Why announce it now? -A few words?
What if I show up?
Isn't that Chu Yan?
Chu Yan?
It's really him!
-It is. -How could it be?
-He's not dead. -It can't be him.
He's alive.
-What happened? -What's going on?
-Quick, film this. -He's actually alive.
This is huge news. Huge!
-What a twist this is. -I know.
Little princess, we meet again.
Chu Yan is here.
Hello, everyone.
We held this press conference today
not just to announce my marriage to Miss Xia,
but also to clarify some false information
about the relationship between her and Mr. Chu.
I imagine you're all quite curious.
I clearly died in the fire at the hospital.
How could I show up here?
Are you implying there's another killer?
Is this some sort of act by you and Miss Xia?
You're right, this is indeed a sort of act.
An act?
Unknowingly, in the case of Mrs. Ling,
I became the lead male actor.
The director of this act
was someone who grew up with me
and called me her brother for 22 years.
Miss An Ran.
Miss An, is this true?
Did you start the fire at the hospital?
No, this had nothing to do with me.
I would never hurt you, Chu Yan.
How could you not believe me?
An Ran, if anyone else told me about this...
I'd never believe it.
But I saw it with my own eyes.
You're my new nurse?
The head nurse took time off. I'm covering for her.
Chu Yan...
Don't blame me for this.
So no matter what you say,
we'll never believe you.
Miss An, why did you frame Miss Xia?
Wait, whose corpse is in the morgue then?
-Please tell us. -How evil.
-Please explain. -Answer the question.
-Please, miss. -Is it true?
Yes, please elaborate.
Miss An, please say something.
Why would you do something like that?
She's so evil.
-Why, Miss An? -Can you explain?
Did someone force you to do it?
Please say something, Miss An.
Miss An!
-Don't go. -Miss An!
I don't know anything.
Ling Yizhou...
You won't be so lucky next time.
Please explain, Miss An.
Is that the truth, Miss An?
It had nothing to do with me. I didn't do it.
It wasn't me.
-Please answer us, Miss An. -I don't know.
I'll give you an answer.
The body you saw at the hospital
has been identified by the police
as a corpse that went missing at the morgue.
Over the past few days, I was locked in a warehouse.
Did you kidnap me?
Do you know who I am?
People must be looking for me right now.
If you let me go, I won't hold it against you.
Do you hear me?
Don't waste your breath, Mr. Chu.
Everyone thinks you're dead already.
You shouldn't have said that.
Dead? What do you mean?
Hey!
Fine. Listen up.
I don't care how much your boss is paying you,
I'm Chu Yan. I'll triple that amount.
Our boss said no matter how much you offer,
he'll triple it.
Then I'll triple it again! And again!
Hey!
Eat.
So good.
-Why would she do something like that? -I know.
She sacrificed her own friend.
Was it all for Director Ling?
An Ran, I'm very honored that
you went to all this trouble just to frame me.
Who do you think you are?
If you hadn't stolen Yizhou away, I'd never even glance in your direction.
All for a man who doesn't belong to you?
You've gone and ruined yourself.
-Was it worth it? -It doesn't matter.
Even if there was only a 0.01% chance of seeing you fall from grace,
I'd still do everything I could.
Yet in the end...
Ling Yizhou is still my husband.
Chu Yan is still my friend.
The only person who fell from grace and lost everything...
is you.
An Ran.
Stop embarrassing yourself, OK?
Embarrassing myself?
You're the ones who have embarrassed me.
An Ran!
It is your own fault...
that things have come to this.
You and whoever put you up to this.
The only thing you can do now is
tell us who that person is.
Even without me, that person will make sure that
you never live in peace.
Step aside.
Out of the way.
An Ran, according to our investigation, you're accused of arson and kidnapping.
You're now under arrest.
-Take her away. -Quick, get a picture.
This will make the headlines.
Write this down.
What huge news.
-Director An... -I got the picture!
Mr. Wang, do you need anything further from us?
Mr. Chu should go and get some rest.
Stop by tomorrow for a testimony.
No problem.
Chu Yan, maybe you should have a checkup at the hospital.
No, I don't miss that place at all.
Come with us. We'll take care of you.
Mrs. Ling,
I just regained my freedom. Give me some space, will you?
Fine, don't come with us.
We'll go with you. How about that?
Ling, your wife is so clingy.
A friend is waiting for me.
You'll have to excuse me.
Take care of yourself.
-I'll get going then. -Bye.
Goodbye.
Director Ling, where did Wen Li go?
He's handling a few things.
I'll be off then, too.
I need to go pack my things.
OK, let me know when you're going to move.
-Got it, bye. -Bye.
She's moving out?
Yeah, living with Wen Li isn't very convenient for her.
She's going to move into that place we used to rent.
Something wrong?
Let's go.
What? Cat got your tongue?
You were pretty brave when you gave me that ride.
Who are you?
Chu Yan, the superstar!
Take a good look at me.
But Chu Yan died in a fire.
I don't have time to explain. I'll pay you 100,000RMB to use your bike.
Don't bother. I have food to deliver.
200,000RMB! Just get on!
-You'd better keep your word! -Stay still!
Stop moving around!
So...
you owe me twice as much.
I can give you the money,
but why do I feel like I'm being blackmailed?
You superstars all get to live privileged lives.
I'm just a Robin Hood.
What are you going to do with all that money?
None of your concern.
I only accept cash, by the way.
Fine. Show me your ID.
Why?
I'm checking your ID.
What if you're on the wanted list? I'd become your accomplice.
Fine. Look.
-Did you catch that? -Fine!
Tong Xiaoyou, right?
Add me on WeChat. I'll contact you after I get the money.
Tong Xiaoyou...
Mr. Chu Yan owes Miss Tong Xiaoyou 400,000RMB!
This video is evidence. Come on, give me a nod.
Give me that!
-You... -Come and get it then.
I'm telling you,
royalties need to be paid for videos and pictures of me. Delete it.
It's a safety measure.
If you don't pay up, I'll post the video online.
You...!
Fine...
Since you saved me,
I won't argue with you. Keep it as a souvenir.
But...
if you go around posting that for no reason,
I will hunt you down wherever you are. Got it?
Got it.
The two best leftovers of the day.
Consider it a gift from your creditor.
Hey, what's up?
Mr. Ling, a car blocked our way. Yang Tong got away.
Got it. Are you OK?
I'm fine. Just a scratch.
-Go get a checkup. -OK.
What happened?
Mumu,
regardless of whether it was An Ran or Yang Tong,
they were just pawns being sacrificed.
This matter isn't over yet.
All we did was get married. Why do people hate us so much?
It's not your fault. It's my problem.
I'm sorry you got involved.
Ling Yizhou,
what if the stars just weren't aligned for us?
How could our marriage bring so much disaster?
I don't believe in that stuff.
I believe in myself. And I need you to, too.
Believe in you? Then we'd both be done for.
You knew Chu Yan was alive, didn't you?
Actually, you're the one who reminded me that day.
An Ran does hate me.
She had the means and the motive, but...
I just don't get it.
How could she be so cruel to Chu Yan?
This doesn't involve Chu Yan directly.
He also loved An Ran like a sister.
I know An Ran quite well.
Even if she were to lose all her senses,
she could never do something so cruel to Chu Yan.
Hello.
I need to find out where someone is.
Be discrete about it.
I secretly looked for Chu Yan and put on a show with the police,
luring An Ran to come out.
You didn't have to announce our marriage to do that.
It just upset more people and now they hate us even more.
It wasn't worth it. Can't you see that?
If I did nothing when my wife was in danger...
would you still love me?
Besides, I've wanted to do that for a long time.
Ling Yizhou, thank you.
Did you know that...
there's another way to say thank you?
Chu Yan, I'm here to take you home. Let's go.
That's not my home.
-Chu Yan. -Sir.
You've been through a lot. Come back home.
Don't act like you're my father anymore.
Ling Yizhou has told you all you need to hear.
Please leave.
Sir...
Sir!
Sir! Sir!
What's wrong with him?
He was hospitalized for a heart attack after what happened to you.
He's still recovering.
Sir.
Chu Yan, come home with your dad.
We'll talk once we get you home.
If that's all, I'll get going now.
Don't you want to hear about your mother?
Your mother and I met on a business trip.
It was love at first sight.
To be with her,
I hid the fact that I couldn't marry her.
But right before you were born...
she found out I was marrying someone for my family.
I never thought that...
she would just abandon you and leave me
while I was away on a business trip.
I haven't heard from her since.
I hated her cruelty.
That's why I neglected you.
I used my hatred of her...
to numb my own remorse.
I treated you both unfairly.
Chu Yan...
You are my only son.
But you've lied to me my whole life.
That's true.
That's my fault.
Heading out early?
Yes.
Have some breakfast first.
-I'm not hungry. -You...
Just take care then.
I'll be back for dinner.
That's fantastic! You two have finally made up.
Are you happy? Or shocked?
I'm so happy I could burst.
Don't think I don't know you're a double agent.
It seems like you're on my team, but you always speak up for him.
Tell me, how did he bribe you?
You've ruined Mr. Ling's reputation.
He put up with all that fiery public rage for you.
If doing all that can't win your love back,
it just proves one thing.
You have no conscience.
Where did your conscience go, then?
Wen Li took good care of you,
but once he gets hurt, you move out.
Hurt? Is he alright?
He's fine. It was just a car accident.
That must be the realtor.
Sorry you had to come all this way.
Not at all. Here's the lease transfer contract.
If you two could both sign here, please.
What are you doing? Sign it!
Thank you.
If she has any problems, she can contact you, right?
Yes. I'll get going then.
Alright. Goodbye.
Let's go.
-Where are we going? -To visit a patient.
Yes.
Mrs. Ling doesn't know that you bought the place.
She had me bring over a lease transfer contract for Miss Jia.
Don't worry, Mr. Ling. Mrs. Ling doesn't--
Ling Yizhou! Is this the respect and honesty you promised me?
Your promises are worthless!
Wait.
Mr. Ling...
We just talked about it. Then he does this a few days later.
How can I trust someone like that?
Yeah, I guess he never keeps his word.
But Wen Li is still unwaveringly loyal to him.
He said he'd change for me, but he keeps doing stuff behind my back.
Does he have schizophrenia?
Maybe Wen Li is Mr. Ling's
only honest relationship.
Feifei.
Why do you never shut up about Wen Li?
What? I'm being mad at Mr. Ling with you.
Mumu, I just didn't want you to have to rent from someone.
You're right. I didn't think things through.
Come back with me.
No, Director Ling.
I should thank you for your generosity.
Now, I can live in my small apartment with a sense of security.
Have a great day.
Come on.
I just got to watch Mr. Ling get told off.
I salute your courage, Mrs. Ling.
Sir.
Marriage requires management.
If I don't tell him off this time, things will just get worse.
-Oh, no. Watch out. -My apologies, sir.
Please give me a few minutes.
-What? -Who is that?
I'd like to take care of a misunderstanding with my wife.
If this leads to any loss for you, do come find me at Lingshi Group.
You!
Put me down!
Get in.
I'm so jealous! He's so handsome and romantic.
You'll never get a man like that.
Stop daydreaming.
She never had a chance.
You can't ever change men like that.
Excuse me, driver. I'd like to get off, too.
Mumu.
I didn't buy that apartment to control you.
I just wanted to make sure you were comfortable.
I promised I would respect you, so I will.
But I hope you can give me some time to adjust.
Even if I'm still making some mistakes,
there should be a grace period, right?
Fine, I'll give you a chance.
-But I have a few conditions. -Such as?
First, no interfering in my work life.
That includes clear interference and also hints from other people.
Sure.
Second, let me sleep in two days a week.
You sleep in every day.
The point is, on those two days, I don't have to have breakfast with you.
No, breakfast is important.
Fine.
I'll have Ms. Huang keep you healthy another way.
-Third, I-- -Oh, hush.
These are all really extreme stipulations. You should read them before signing.
What my lady demands, I will accept.
But now,
can we do something even more important?
What?
Chu Yan, you're finally back.
Your father has been waiting to eat with you.
Who told him to wait?
You're home.
Mr. Fu, bring out the food.
Yes, sir. Have a seat.
You're an old man.
You shouldn't have waited.
We haven't had a meal together in ages.
This won't be the last time.
Are you going to move back in?
Have a seat.
It depends on my mood.
Mr. Fu, hurry. I'm starving!
Coming.
I heard you got hurt, so I brought some stuff.
Thank you. Have you eaten yet?
I can make you something.
You're injured, what can you cook?
Do you want my pity?
This is nothing, I can still do stuff.
Stop it. You've cooked for me so much in the past.
So today, you're going to let Chef Jia cook.
You can cook?
Drop that question mark.
Lord, help us!
Sorry...
I really just wanted to make you some food!
I didn't think I'd set your house on fire.
You almost set my house on fire. I should be the one crying.
No... Don't cry.
As long as you're OK, it's fine.
I'm so dumb.
I don't even have basic life skills.
But...
people with basic life skills aren't as joyful as you are.
You earn a D on comforting.
What are you going to do?
Order takeout.
I won't be cooking anymore, for sure.
I'll get us some takeout for today. Hope that's OK.
Let me grab my phone.
What time is it?
Six o'clock.
That early? Leave me alone.
Mumu.
What normally happens with a couple
after they get married?
They make a baby.
That's a great idea.
I'm still young. I'm in no rush to be a mom.
I'm not young anymore, though. I'm ready to be a dad.
I have a suggestion.
Yes?
I'll go to work with you today. OK?
That does seem like a good idea.
This will be my first time going in as Mrs. Ling. I need to get ready.
Make a baby...
Mumu, stop looking at me like that.
Beautiful things deserve to be admired.
You're really asking for trouble.
I'm sorry.
Since you're so bored,
why don't we try something more interesting?
What are you doing?
I value efficiency.
We can look at it together to get it done faster.
What's so funny?
The last time we were both here was to sign the contract.
You were still a frigid director to me back then.
Time is just like a mirror,
showing who you were before.
Then, my lady...
do you like me more before, or now?
Both, I think.
But I like this one more.
Come in.
Mrs. Ling, Director Ling.
Regarding publicity for the 50th anniversary celebration of Lingshi Group,
we recommend that you make an appearance
and do interviews with a number of TV and printed news media.
This not only will help you move past recent negative coverage,
it will also be an excellent marketing opportunity.
What does my wife think about it?
I think this is an excellent chance to clear up some misunderstandings.
People who know you already understand.
For people who don't, it doesn't matter how much you explain it.
My wife understands me.
I never did those things in the past. Nothing has changed now.
Publicity is your thing.
Just don't ask me to do stuff.
By the way, Director Ling,
there's also the more pressing issue of promoting the newly-renovated stores.
-Have you taken a look? -I hired you all...
so that you could give me good answers,
not so I could help you with every single detail.
Redo it, and then notify me.
Wen Li, Mrs. Ling is here. We were too afraid to go into his office.
Can you find out what's going on?
Seriously, I didn't even say that much and I got thrown out.
He didn't even say anything about promoting the renovated stores.
Without any comments, how will we know what to change?
My report is still in there awaiting approval.
How are we supposed to start it if he won't sign it?
I understand your concerns.
I'll do my best to help you.
Lisa, I've missed you!
You've missed my job announcements.
Can I start working again?
There's a young-teen romance drama called Only You.
They need someone who can dance.
You can make a cameo.
You need to be ready to shoot at a moment's notice, though.
Sure. Thank you, Lisa!
It's just a minor role, calm down.
There are only minor actors, no minor roles.
Even if it's just one scene,
I will do my best to prepare!
I don't know what you're thinking.
You're already Mrs. Ling!
But you're still going after these D-list roles.
You're above the showbiz industry given your new status.
Lisa, think of it this way.
If I were a greedy and vain person,
would Ling Yizhou even like me in the first place?
Fair enough.
I sent you the script. Practice your dancing.
No problem.
What are you doing there?
Apologies, Mrs. Ling.
I'd like to discuss something with you.
Is it about Jia Fei?
It's about Mr. Ling.
On behalf of all the department heads at Lingshi Group,
please keep your interactions with Mr. Ling to a minimum during work.
This is my first day here and they're complaining about me already?
I didn't mean to provoke them.
It's not anything you did, Mrs. Ling,
just you seriously disrupt Mr. Ling's usual workflow.
It's indirectly caused a bit of trouble for various departments.
So...
What took so long?
Lisa just called me.
She got me a new role.
And?
So I'll be busy starting tomorrow.
You'd better keep working hard. Earn money to support Mumu.
And a little Mumu.
Isn't that right?
He says yes.
What do you think? Am I any good?
You? Or the dance?
Is there a difference?
Of course, the dance looked good.
But you look even better.
It's for the drama.
I have to practice hard.
You can't rush through it. It's important to relax, too.
-How? -Chat with me.
Just chat? Nothing else?
You're avoiding me.
This is for my acting career, don't mess around.
Go to bed now.
Be good.
Good boy. Get some rest.
Time to relax?
Lisa said we're shooting tomorrow.
That soon?
It's only a two-day shoot, so it got pushed forward.
Well, that's different from what you've given me before.
Is this a new low-key style of yours?
Would you wear anything else?
These aren't ordinary earrings.
They have GPS microchips inside
so I can locate you.
I'm just filming a drama. It's not a spy mission.
This is a bit much.
An Ran pleaded guilty,
but we know that the person behind all of this is still out there.
Since you insist on working, we should at least keep you safe.
I'll give you a ride tomorrow.
You're so nice, hubby.
Hello? Is this the great screenwriter, Miss Jia?
I just got done filming.
Do you have time
to grab a bite with me?
I'm in the middle of an investors' meeting.
Go hang out with Mr. Ling.
Fine, I'll leave you be.
Good luck to you.
OK, thank you. Bye.
Who are you? Why are you following me?
I'm sorry, I thought you were somebody else!
Really?
Don't worry, I mean no harm.
You just look familiar.
I look familiar?
Did we meet in the hospital?
No, we didn't. This was a misunderstanding.
I definitely saw her leave Ling Yizhou's hospital room that time.
They have to be connected somehow.
Could she be...
HEAD OF MARKETING: MRS. LING IS MY MOTIVATION TO GO JOGGING
Hello.
Send the Head of Marketing to learn some skills at the new subsidiary.
We have three new subsidiaries.
Pick whichever one in a different city.
Yes, sir.
Subtitle translation by Jake Eberts
You know that Chu Yan likes you.
You...
I only noticed it at the brand launch event.
Even if you were the last woman in the world...
I'd rather be with Ling.
Screw you. Ling Yizhou is mine.
Mrs. Ling,
nobody would hate their own mother for no reason.
Please leave right now.
Now!
