[The Mystic Nine]
[Episode 25]
Dad.
You secretly sneaked out
and lived some couple life with a seller of yellow mud. (Pertaining to a man from Changsha, since this area is famous for selling yellow mud)
It doesn't look bad. Right,
Miss Yin?
Uncle?
You still know that you have an uncle?!
Uncle!
Why are you like my dad?
You just had to make me marry that Peng Sanbian.
No one asked for my opinion and I'm getting blamed for it.
You now know to answer back?
Is it because you think someone would back you up now? Unruly!
Let me ask you! When you were growing up,
which rich daughter in Beiping
lived a more comfortable
and pampered life than you?
Think about it well. Why must you have that kind of life?
Isn't it all because your surname is Yin?
What's wrong with you doing something to repay the Yin family?
Did that come from my dad?
If it is, please tell him
that for the money he spent to raise me,
I would return it to him with interest in the future.
[The Mystic Nine]
What would you use to repay it?
Do you think that your Zhang husband would pay it for you?
He surely will!
Childish.
You've only known him for a few days. Do you understand him?
Okay. He's providing for you, making you have something to eat and drink. But that's nothing.
To let him grab a huge amount of money from his pocket and give it to you,
it won't be that easy..
He... I know him.
Just for the wife of Er Yuehong, he was willing to go bankrupt.
He's a person with affection and loyalty.
That is because he needs Er Yuehong!
Don't say it anymore.
Since you and that Zhang Qishan haven't officially married,
go back with me first. There's still room to reverse all of this.
If you really don't like that Peng Sanbian,
okay then. We can find all the young and talented men
in Beiping and let you choose from them.
I don't want to! I don't want to!
Although Zhang Qishan and I haven't officially wed,
he's the man that I like.
No matter if he's a military man or a commoner, I don't have regrets.
You're a lady.
Do you know how to write the word "reputation"?
It's exactly because I'm a lady
that I must listen to my voice,
live the life that I want to.
Hit it. Hit it.
You... Your personality and temper
are exactly the same as your father's.
Uncle...
Come, let me take a look.
Why have you gotten thinner?
How does Zhang Qishan treat you?
You left in a hurry back then.
Your father packed a lot of things for you, but you weren't able to take them with you.
Don't let him think that there's no one else in our Yin family.
Uncle, he treats me very well. Very, very well.
- Okay. - Just be at ease.
With you saying that, I feel at ease now.
But don't forget that our Xinyue Hotel
is always behind you.
Uncle, you won't force me to leave anymore?
Although Zhang Qishan of Changsha is a bit far from Beiping,
he indeed has some power here.
If you can marry him,
it would still greatly benefit our family's business.
How about this? Stay here in Changsha
and just focus on being Mrs. Zhang.
Thank you, Uncle.
Actually, it was your father who told me to say those things.
I'm just the messenger.
- Oh. - Also,
the present Changsha has both internal and external problems.
Bad and good people are mixed together. You must be very careful.
Uncle, why do you say so?
A jade Buddha from the Tang Dynasty that's about to be auctioned in our hotel
was stolen a few days ago.
We got report afterwards that the thief
was found here in Changsha.
However, he bit his tongue and committed suicide on site.
That's what happened.
That jade Buddha is still missing until now.
This is a problem of Xinyue Hotel.
It has nothing to do with the Nine Mystic Families.
Fo Ye said that if I have any problems while he's down in the tomb,
I must first look for you to discuss it.
It shows how important you are to my husband.
Madam, don't panic first. We must plan this matter well.
I fear that the thief isn't harboring good intentions.
Husband and Er Ye are both down in the tomb.
If this were a common thief, I would just drop it.
But I fear that person has other motives.
The matter has happened, so there's no point fearing it.
Do you have an image of the jade Buddha? Let me look.
This is the latest auction details from our hotel.
Madam, it's better to be vigilant for now.
While Fo Ye and Er Ye are not around, we must stay calm.
(Description of auctioned item)
What do we do?
- Fo Ye has been inside for a long time. - They're not out yet.
- What should we do? - I don't know. What should we do?
They're still not coming out. Nothing bad happened to them, right? Fo Ye will be all right.
Enough. Fo Ye will be all right.
You four!
Divide into two groups and we'll enter the caves to find Fo Ye.
Once you encounter any danger,
immediately return.
Yes!
Let's go.
Safety first!
Got it! Let's go.
Fo Ye, it's been four hours.
Wait for me here.
Hey! Fo Ye! You can't go!
You can't go!
While here, we might be able to wait for Er Ye.
If you go in and get lost, what then?
We better just be patient and stay here.
Jiu Ye! Jiu Ye! It's your turn.
Jiu Ye, your focus isn't with this chess game, right?
The tree wishes for peace, but the wind won't stop blowing.
I really don't feel like playing at all.
Hey, don't go in!
Jiu Ye, I couldn't stop him.
- Playing chess? - It's okay. You go now.
You're still far from your teacher.
Go back and practice a thousand times first before coming here to play with me.
Jiu Ye, you must be kidding. Of course, I know that I'm inferior to my teacher.
In chess, you are indeed inferior to your teacher.
But in being ruthless,
you are way above him.
I forgot to congratulate you in replacing Si Ye.
Si Ye has been too comfortable in his position.
Even if I didn't make a move, someone else would have.
You came here to see me today, not really to talk about Si Ye, right?
Of course not. I have one item that I want to show you.
Why are you showing me this rotten Buddhist statue?
This jade Buddha is fake.
I can see that, the more you can.
What does this being true or not have to do with me?
This jade Buddha came from Xinyue Hotel.
We have a rule in our business that we don't ask about the source of treasures.
But for them to provide people with a fake item,
Xinyue Hotel is really so bold.
I think the reputation of Xinyue Hotel
is an empty name.
There is indeed something wrong with this Buddhist statue.
It's really relaxing to talk with sensible people, so you noticed it, too.
This jade Buddha was made by casting.
100% fake.
For Xinyue Hotel to put out a fake item like that to make deals,
what's that called? Being a riffraff.
If I spread this word out,
Miss Yin's reputation will really...
Chen Pi, I looked down on you before.
I never thought that after leaving your teacher,
your skills would have greatly improved.
What a coincidence! I also have a jade Buddha with me.
Take a look if it's true. Go.
Yes.
Yesterday, the second-in-charge of Xinyue Hotel
came to visit Miss Yin.
He brought me a jade Buddha.
- Jiu Ye. - Please take a look.
This is the real jade Buddha.
Your ranking is still not high enough and were fooled by others.
Impossible! Just one look and you know that this is fake!
You dare say that is a fake?
That was personally brought here from Beiping by their second-in-command.
Jiu Ye, you are really a sensible person.
The one that Xinyue Hotel gave to their own Miss
would surely be real.
The fake one would surely be this one in my hand.
You're not to be blamed.
With an imitation exquisitely made like that,
even most pawnshop owners wouldn't be able to notice it.
Okay. I admit being fooled.
- Let's go! - Yes!
Wow, Jiu Ye! This fake jade Buddha was really made well.
That is not an imitation.
That is the real jade Buddha.
Ha?! But...
Why do you say so?
This is a deliberate casting mark that Chen Pi made.
Since time immemorial, I've seen a lot of fake items being posed as real ones.
But to deliberately turn a real item into a fake one,
this is the first time.
Such a pity for this valuable jade Buddha.
As long as Chen Pi won't be allowed to make an issue out of this, not only one jade Buddha,
but even if I have to personally smash ten of them, I won't blink an eye.
I still don't get it.
Chen Pi did all these
just to scheme Miss Yin?
Of course not.
Chen Pi didn't go to Fo Ye's manor
and instead came to see me with the fake item means that he knows
when Xinyue Hotel gets in trouble,
Madam will come to me for ideas.
He's checking my stand.
What does it mean then for him to suddenly
come here to test you?
We have to ask that person hiding behind him then.
[Tian He Cheng Antique Shop]
- I still have to do something. You two go back first. - Yes.
[Yi Tai Bank]
What does that mean?
Looks like you failed.
I'm asking you...
What do you mean by this?!
You stole the jade Buddha and asked me to see Xie Jiu with it.
You talked about tainting the reputation of Xinyue Hotel and giving Yin Xinyue a heavy blow.
In the end, what? Now, really great. My reputation is completely tarnished.
I've become the laughingstock of the whole Changsha,
while you're just sitting and not even letting out a fart! You really think—
Do you really think I wouldn't dare touch you?
You won't.
Don't you get it?
I'm helping you.
You better explain yourself clearly.
"Knowing yourself and your enemy"
is an old saying of your culture.
Stop telling me useless things!
Right now, Zhang Qishan and the others are inside the tomb.
Once something bad happens to Xinyue Hotel,
Yin Xinyue can only go to Xie Jiu Ye for help.
I only want to test the limits of Xie Jiu Ye.
Only this way can we come up with
a way to deal with him.
Today, you showed me how formidable Changsha's Xie Jiu Ye is.
Isn't he just a gentle and weak scholar?
You even fear him?
Coward.
If I had known, I shouldn't have listened to your words.
No.
He is the hardest to deal with among the members of Changsha's Mystic Nine Families.
Jiu Ye, Chen Pi is just a measly local hooligan.
Why must you worry about him?
What I find strange is with Chen Pi's abilities,
he wouldn't be able to come up with a method like this.
There must be someone teaching him.
This person is an evil ghost within Changsha City.
The death of Fourth is surely related with
this person behind Chen Pi.
Why not just kill Xie Jiu? There's nothing that I fear.
Unlike you, always hesitating and wavering. You won't be able to do great things.
What's the use of killing people?
How is it useless?
Do you dare kill me?
In here. Right now.
Because you know that after killing me, you won't be able to leave this room.
Ever since, you've treated killing people as the only way to resolve problems.
But have you obtained your goal?
If I don't kill people, how could I have replaced Fourth in the Nine Mystic Families?
So what?
Will Zhang Qishan submit to you?
Will your teacher respect you?
Just because you saw him today,
Xie Jiu Ye will start to fear you? No, they won't.
Because they know that
other than killing people, you can't do anything else.
Killing people is the least effective method in solving problems
among the strong ones.
Tell me then. What should I do?
How much do you know Xie Jiu Ye?
In Shanghai, other than managing two casinos,
he even monopolized the import of fabrics
of the French Concession.
He's also involved in the jewelry business.
Xie Jiu Ye has studied in Japan.
He has worked with the three major chambers of commerce.
A man from Chang'an,
he didn't focus on tomb raiding and selling, and instead did all these useless things.
Wrong!
Times are changing.
If all of you members of the Nine Mystic Families would continue to abide by your old
thinking, not trying to improve,
you are destined to be abandoned.
The original Si Ye wasn't like that.
I didn't come here to be lectured by you.
Tell me how I should deal with him.
Did you clearly check that batch of goods?
Yes, just follow what I said before.
Use whatever means to switch the goods.
Not only will they not enter China,
Xie Jiu Ye must face criminal punishment for it.
Got it?
I thought you had some smart moves.
Just a few goods?
Whether it's smuggling guns or opium,
Xie Jiu Ye will have a way to suppress it. You can't topple him.
I don't need to topple him.
I just hope that in the next few days,
he won't appear in front of me to foil my plans.
You just want to send him away?
Xie Jiu Ye is the person that Zhang Qishan trusts the most here in Changsha City.
If you send him away, Zhang Qishan won't have anyone by his side.
You finally understand.
It's the same. If you want to eliminate him,
you must move in a circuitous manner.
Pry open his defense step by step.
Killing a person is very easy. But after killing him,
can everything really go as you wish?
Then teach me from now on how to kill people without using my knife.
[Changsha Chamber of Commerce of USA]
Fo Ye, why is he still not out?
- Er Ye! Er Ye! - What happened?!
Are you all right?
Er Yuehong! What happened to you?!
Jeez, stop talking. Let's quickly bring him out of here!
Come.
- Fo Ye! Fo Ye! - Don't come near!
Let's go!
- Okay! - Are you all right?
Xiao Du! Xiao Du!
Watch him!
- Yang Yang! - Hey, don't go in!
It's dangerous inside!
- Call them back! Hurry! - Xiao Du!
- Xiao Du! - Yang Yang, quickly come back!
- How is he? - Fo Ye... - Yang Yang!
-...Er Ye's pulse is weak but quite stable. - Xiao Du!
I reckon that only his tendons are hurt. His internal organs are fine.
Got it. Er Ye!
Fo Ye...
Tell us, when you entered the tomb,
what did you see? Whose tomb was it?
Say it!
Yang Yang!
Xiao Du!
Fo Ye...
Keep this.
What?!
We risked our lives just to look for that thing?
Bomb... this cave.
Don't worry. I will surely bomb this cave.
But I must find the people in there first.
- Er Ye! - Quickly come back!
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Fo Ye, we're complete.
Immediately leave.
- Go! Take all the stuff! - Yes!
- Let's go. - Go.
Slow down.
Lieutenant, move the bombs over there! Hurry!
Come. Move them there!
- Yes! - Let's go!
Hold on!
Er Ye, you must hold on!
Slow down...
Here. Hold it well.
Brothers, move faster!
- Hurry! Hurry! - Yes!
Quickly leave.
Be careful.

Brothers, move faster.
Yes. Yes.
Make the lead line longer.
Hurry! Hurry! Move all the rocks away!
- Okay! - Hurry!
Move them all out of the way!
Everyone, move faster!
Fo Ye!
Er Ye, hold on. We'll be done soon.
Brothers, move faster!
- Okay. - Hurry.
- Fo Ye! - You guys leave first!
Yes!
Er Ye!
- Er Ye! - Er Ye!
Er Ye, how are you doing?
Er Ye!
Fo Ye, he's still breathing.
- Lieutenant! - Er Ye!
- Check if our brothers are all fine! - Er Ye!
Wake up!
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
- Er Ye! - Are you okay?
I'm fine.
- How are you? - My leg.
Fo Ye... that item, you must store it well.
Don't worry. The mine has been bombed.
No one can go in to get anything.
It's fine now. Let's go.
Go!
Let's go.
Fo Ye, your injuries... Go rest for a while.
No big deal.
How are Er Ye's injuries?
Er Ye only had superficial wounds. He has been sent back to rest in his manor.
What about our other brothers?
Fo Ye, don't worry. They've all been sent back to their homes.
Get some money and distribute it to our brothers.
Also, instruct them not to leak any info about our operation.
Yes.
They all died for the country.
Only you remember their names.
Follow protocol and handsomely compensate their families.
Yes.
Fo Ye!
Why are you hurt again?
I'm fine. I'm fine. I just need to rest for a few days.
You're saying you're fine again. You just don't know to cherish your own body.
But good thing, I have good foresight. I had a doctor stay in the house.
- I'll tell him to check you. - No need!
No way!
- How is it? - It's okay now.
Why didn't you tell me that it was a female doctor?
I studied Western medicine abroad.
In a doctor's eye, a patient is asexual.
I haven't introduced her yet.
She's my cousin. Her name is Mo Ce. She especially came here to Changsha to visit me.
I mainly want to see what kind of person
was able to subdue my cousin.
Mo Ce, how is he then?
Say it.
Are you asking about his injuries or his compatibility with you?
Stop joking around. I'm talking about his injuries.
His injuries are all superficial wounds. No life danger. Don't worry, Cousin.
But I've never seen you this concerned about someone before.
Okay already. His wounds have all been bandaged.
They mustn't get wet; or else, they might get infected.
What are you thinking?
I'm worried about Er Ye's wounds.
If you are worried about him, I'll tell Mo Ce to go to his manor to check on him.
Who is Er Ye?
Er Ye is his best friend.
Fo Ye...
Keep this...
Bomb... this cave.
Fo Ye.
Fo Ye, I'm done adding the water.
- Go now. - Yes.
Er Ye.
Er Ye! Save me! Er Ye!
Yatou! Yatou...
Let go of me! Let go of me!
Let go of me! No! Let go of me!
Let go of me!
