Never Say Never
Episode 21
Bring Professor Zhao
to me now.
Okay.
How is that possible?
There’s no problem with the formula.
That is impossible.
Last time you said that
I can try it myself.
I was lucky that I didn’t do it.
Otherwise,
I’d have ended up in jail.
Fang Mo,
I was just joking back then.
How come this happened?
Don’t get all worked up.
Brother Tao let me pick you up.
He has something to ask you.
Let’s go.
I also don’t know what’s going on.
Brother Tao, he’s here.
I’ve told you everything over the phone.
Mr. Gu, I...
How come this happened?
You told me that
these pills are nearly undetectable,
and are totally safe.
Please give me an explanation.
It’s newly developed.
This shouldn’t have happened.
Unless...
Unless someone took the formula.
Otherwise, it couldn't be cracked.
Mr. Gu, the formula must have been leaked.
Don't look at Fang Mo!
He can’t understand that kind of thing!
Besides, he gave it to me right away.
I didn't even open it!
But…
But he’s the only one I gave my formula to.
Professor Zhao,
who did you send it to
the other day at the post office?
My younger brother.
Mr. Gu,
we’ve been working together for so long.
You know what kind of person I am.
I swear that
my younger brother would never leak it.
Please believe in me.
Brother Tao,
when the experimental pills came out,
we sent several to Mr. Tuo.
Could it be...
If they get the pills,
it’s possible to analyze the composition.
Should we ask Mr. Tuo
about this?
Mr. Tuo.
Brother Gu.
What’s with the pills?
Didn’t you say they’re safe?
They were just seized on the way to Hong Kong.
Now the police
have got our pills.
They even know how to detect them.
How did you dispose of
the two experimental pills?
Brother Gu, are you suspecting me?
Don’t forget that
I also bought 10,000.
Sen Long might even
not be able to
come back to Hong Kong.
Wait. Could it be...
Could it be what?
Brother Gu,
I was too careless.
I gave
5,000 pills to Mr. Qi.
I also gave one
experimental pill to him.
It’s Qi Ke again!
But he bought them himself.
He has already paid me.
It's impossible that he’d leak it.
I’ll get to the bottom of this.
You can get your things done first.
I haven’t heard from Sen Long yet.
I can't go back to Canglan now.
The construction has also stopped.
You must
give me an explanation.
I said I’ll get to the bottom of this!
You can't stay in Canglan anymore.
The police haven’t noticed you yet.
You must go into hiding immediately.
Fang Mo, send Professor Zhao back.
But I...
I’ll transfer the money to you!
Mr. Gu...
Say no more.
Take care of yourself.
When things are settled,
I will let Fang Mo pick you up.
We can continue working together.
Okay. Okay.
I’ll follow your arrangement.
Mr. Gu, rest assured.
I won’t say anything
no matter who comes to me.
I’ll go back to pack my things.
Fang Mo, send him back.
Buy the earliest ticket.
Ba.
Boss.
You can go now.
Do as I told you.
Consider it done.
Miss Jin, how come
no one accompanies you?
Mr. Qi,
I’m waiting for you to drop by.
Is that so?
Even if I wanted to drop by,
probably you wouldn’t welcome me.
Since you started work with Gu Tao,
you’ve forgotten who I am.
Is it that you’re blaming me?
I’m just a weak girl.
It’s hard to make a living.
Mr. Qi, what brings you here today?
Kiddo, have you got this wrong?
You asked me to come a few days ago.
You’re way out of my league.
You rejected me like I was nothing.
You forgot?
Are you bearing a grudge?
Fine. Whatever.
Have you met Gu Tao recently?
Professor, you can go pack your stuff.
I have some semi-finished products to destroy.
I need some time.
Please wait for a while.
Okay.
Professor,
how about
I go buy a ticket for you first？
I’ll pick you up after that.
Okay.
What’s up? Why ask?
Gu Tao hides a professor
to develop drugs for him.
Do you know that?
I heard that
he’s opening an amusement center
with a guy from Hong Kong.
I wanted to invest,
but he refused me directly.
I asked what else he was doing.
He didn’t say a thing.
The amusement center is a small project.
I also know that guy from Hong Kong.
They wanted to give me shares.
This is not important.
That drug-producing professor
does matter.
I plan to
let the professor work for me.
Then we can go fifty-fifty,
and sell our own products.
But I don’t have enough money.
You can invest five million yuan,
and then we can...
No. No.
Mr. Qi, you overestimate me.
I can’t compare with you.
You’re dealing with a large sum of money.
That actually freaks me out.
Not only money.
Nothing went
right for me recently.
I’m only left with this bar.
And I don’t even have one guest.
Mr. Qi,
can you get me some shares
of the amusement center?
Lanlan, I just told you
the amusement center is not important.
Gu Tao won’t loosen his grip on it.
I got the papers
for the construction,
but they only gave me 10%.
How much would that be worth?
Who knows.
No way.
It's the truth.
Is he really so stingy?
This is not his style.
Mr. Qi, last time I used his route
and my goods were seized.
He compensated me for half of the loss.
Your goods were also seized, right?
Tell me, how much did he compensate you?
What’s wrong, Mr. Qi?
My 80 bags of goods
were all confiscated.
He only sent
Ba back to me,
and acted like he did me a huge favor.
I asked him to check
where my goods went,
but I’ve got no news from him.
He covered half of your loss, right?
Don't get all worked up.
It’s possible that
they didn’t belong to the same batch.
No.
Gu Tao was obviously
directing his rage at me.
That bastard is playing me for a fool.
Boss, I got him.
Good.
You can go back now.
Mr. Qi, don’t be angry. Maybe...
Stop it!
Commissioner Han,
Qi Ke has taken Zhao Haoran away.
The situation in Canglan is very tense.
Gu Tao thought it was Qi Ke
who leaked the formula.
Now Zhao Haoran was also taken away.
I think that within two days,
they will fight to the bitter end.
Okay, I’ll get right on it.
I’ll send people
to arrest these drug traffickers in Canglan,
and force Gu Tao to take you to flee overseas.
You’ll be on your own after this.
Find a way to contact me
when you settle down.
Okay, I gotta go.
Take care.
What’s Mr. Tuo’s attitude?
He's very unhappy.
The police are investigating him.
Sen Long called him once,
and is now trying to go back to Hong Kong.
Things are tricky now.
Brother Tao,
are you sure that
Qi Ke leaked the formula?
I’m not sure.
But only he knew about it.
Brother Tao.
You already sent him away?
Professor Zhao is missing.
What do you mean missing?
After I sent him back,
he said he needs to destroy some goods.
So I went to buy the ticket first.
When I came back,
I found he was missing.
I figured he was taken away.
Qi Ke?
Take Ma Liu and our men in the casino
to bring Professor Zhao back!
Boss.
What’s wrong with you?
I’m afraid that he’d run away.
Professor Zhao is my guest.
How rude you are!
Untie. Untie.
Professor Zhao, please forgive me.
Mr. Qi,
what exactly
do you want from me?
Professor,
I’m really sorry.
These young men
are reckless.
I want to ask you
a few questions personally.
Then ask.
Professor,
I want to know
if your pills
can really pass the security check,
or did Gu Tao play me for a fool
and lie to me?
Mr. Qi,
let me be honest with you.
Mr. Gu didn’t lie to you.
Those pills I developed
were supposed to pass
the security check.
But,
the formula
was somehow leaked,
so the police got enough time
to work out a way to detect them.
It has nothing to do with my formula.
My pills were supposed
to be safe.
Alright.
I believe that.
My second question is,
if I give you some time,
can you develop new products
that can pass the security check?
I'll tell you the truth.
It’s theoretically feasible.
Fantastic.
But it took me more than
half a year to develop this formula.
I had to select various materials,
and do countless experiments.
If I were to develop a new product again,
I'd...
need more time,
more energy and more money.
That’s not a problem.
I can give you enough time.
As for the pay,
I will give you another 20%.
Let's work together on the new product.
How do you think?
Mr. Qi,
thank you a lot.
But please let me go.
I will add another 40%.
I beg you.
Please let me go.
Please don’t stick to me.
You know what Mr. Gu
is capable of.
I can’t take risks.
How capable can he be?
Rest assured.
I guarantee I’ll keep
your family safe.
It’s not that. I…
Go back on your word?
No.
No, no, no.
Let me think about it.
Then think about it carefully.
You can think it over
no matter how long you need.
If not today,
then tomorrow.
We can start
after you make a decision.
I’m very patient.
Think it over.
Who allowed you in here?!
Don’t move!
I don’t want to embarrass you.
Mr. Qi,
give Professor Zhao back to us,
or things will get...
Only I
can beat my men.
You wanted to find him?
Go search him.
Ma Liu, search!
Don’t look at me. Search!
Search! Search!
Hurry! Come on!
He’s not here.
Qi Ke,
if you don't give him back,
I will tear your house apart!
Tear it apart?
That’s a lot of work.
You can burn it or bomb it.
It’s much easier.
Ba,
someone’s going to bomb our house.
Should we call the cops?
Yes.
Move aside!
911!
911?
It’s not good if the cops get involved.
Professor Zhao is not here.
-Let’s retreat. -Someone wants to beat me.
I’m so scared.
He said
he would burn
and even bomb our house.
Where do I live?
Please help me.
Hurry! I’m really scared.
What does he look like?
Let me describe it for you.
He’s
around 170 cm.
Around 75 kg.
Buzz cut. Dark eye bags.
He wears a pair of small earrings.
Does he have golden teeth?
Let me check that.
He’s scared. He left.
You are like a dog.
What’s the sound?
A dog was just barking at me.
Xia,
you can go back to the villa first.
I’ll keep a watch on Qi Ke.
Professor Zhao must have been
hidden in another place.
Okay. Make sure your own safety.
Call me when you need help.
Let our men go back to the casino.
Boss, you were really clever.
They were scared away.
You really think so?
They didn't find Professor Zhao.
They won’t give up so easily.
Boss, what should we do then?
We’ll
play it by ear.
Go ahead.
Brother Xia,
Qi Ke and Ba just came out.
They left
in two cars.
I’m now following Qi Ke.
Okay.
You know what kind of person Qi Ke is.
Remember, keep your eyes open.
Call me if anything happens.
Protect yourself.
Okay. I understand.
Bye.
Hurry.
Smash everything!
Brother Tao,
we searched Qi Ke’s house
just now,
but we didn’t find Professor Zhao.
Fang Mo is keeping a watch on them.
He just told me that
Qi Ke and Ba split up.
Fang Mo is now following Qi Ke.
If it’s what I think,
Qi Ke must be going to Professor Zhao.
Qi Ke really
wants to get ugly with me.
Hello.
What?!
Brother Tao,
Ba's men smashed our casino.
Are you ready?
We’ll be there soon.
Today Director Zhou made it clear that
we must
winkle the mastermind out in a month
or he’ll give orders to arrest them.
Then
the situation will be beyond our control.
Luckily Fang Mo is alright.
If he isn’t, I’ll definitely kill both of them.
Fang Mo,
you’re really not good at tracking people.
You’re so close to me.
Are you afraid that I can’t see you?
What can you do anyway?
Even Gu Tao’s followers
are so arrogant nowadays?
Serve our guest.
Go!
Xia.
Brother Tao.
The police seized our things at the casino.
Our men were all arrested.
I’ll work out a way.
Did Fang Mo contact you?
He hasn’t called me,
and hasn’t come back yet.
Could he be in trouble?
He didn’t call me either.
Okay. I’ll call him.
Your boss is looking for you.
But your hands are occupied.
Let me answer it for you.
Brother Gu.
Where is Fang Mo?
He’s with me.
What did you do to him?
He’s very good.
We were just chatting with each other.
I’ll let him talk to you.
Did you hear that?
Fang Mo said hello to you.
You also have another friend here
who wants to say hello to you.
Speak.
Mr. Gu! Mr. Gu!
Mr. Gu, save me!
Qi Ke,
what do you want?
Nothing particular.
I just want to talk with you.
If you hurt them,
I promise I’ll kill you today.
Are you threatening me again?
You really have a temper!
I’m freaked out!
Come here now.
If you want to
save your friends,
come here alone.
Remember.
Come alone!
I heard that
you treat your men well.
Don’t let them down.
I’ll be waiting for you
in the cottage area.
Come here quickly.
Okay.
I’ll be right there.
Fang Mo.
Fang Mo!
Will your boss come to rescue you?
Don’t you know the answer already?
Why ask me?
I admire your guts.
You’re very bold.
You dared to follow me alone.
Why wouldn’t I dare?
You still dare to talk back
at this point!
I really liked you.
I wanted you to work for me.
But
you were unwise!
You followed Gu Tao instead.
What can you get from him?!
He constantly framed me!
I’m sure you also played a role in this!
You can say whatever you like.
When did we frame you?
Besides,
if you didn’t play those dirty tricks,
why would we frame you?
This is interesting.
You really sound
like a cop.
You do look like a cop.
Now I’m controlled by you.
You can say and do whatever
you want.
Cut the crap.
Let our guest have some fun.
Do you dare show up?
Xia.
Fang Mo was caught by Qi Ke.
They’re in the cottage area.
I’ll go there now.
Come here asap.
Let Ma Liu look after the house
in case they come to make trouble.
Okay, Brother Tao.
Look who comes.
