Never Say Never
Episode 17
No, no, no.
She didn’t.
She’s fine.
I just wonder
what kind of past
Fang Mo has.
What do you mean?
Perhaps I’m too cautious.
I...I just think
something is wrong with him.
Did you discover something?
No, no, no.
I didn’t discover anything.
I’m just suspicious of him.
Every time he was here,
he was always fishing for something.
So I wonder
whether he’s dependable or not.
Though he hasn’t worked for me long,
he’s quite reliable
and to date, nothing has gone wrong.
He was a little greedy for money
when he just came,
but that’s only human.
Everyone is doing this business for money.
What’s important is that he once saved my life.
If that’s the case,
I’ll have nothing to say.
I understand.
Over the years,
you’ve always played safe.
You’re doing right.
Let’s wait and see.
If he’s a fox,
he’ll give himself away sooner or later.
How’s the new product going?
There are still impediments to SCE No. 3
but it isn’t a big problem.
I’m testing it repeatedly
so it’ll take some more time.
You gotta hurry.
The next project will begin soon
and only this new product is undone.
By the way,
I’ve had the pills tried.
It’s good.
Start to manufacture it
if you can.
How many do you want?
I’ll give you a number in a couple of days.
Okay. I’m at your command.
Professor, it’s a big contract this time.
Mrs. Zhao must be very happy, isn’t she?
Yes, yes.
Of course she’s happy.
Alright, get back to your work.
Okay.
Be wary of those guys around you.
Don’t let that happen again.
I just think
something is wrong with him.
Every time he was here,
he was always fishing for something.
Who’s Fang Mo?
Today Brother Xia and I
were attacked by Mao.
And then that guy came to our rescue.
Let go! Let go!
Brother Tao, what do you mean?
You jerked me around with two bags of salt?
I’m here to work and make money
but not to be a plaything.
Brother Tao,
you go first. I’ll distract them.
Fang Mo.
Fang Mo, stay with me, Fang Mo.
Fang Mo!
Fang Mo,
this is the woman
who almost killed you.
No, not me.
I give you the chance.
Not me, really not me.
Brother Tao, what do you mean?
Brother Tao, you look down upon me.
Yes.
I come to Canglan to make money.
Yes. I saved your life.
But you also came back to save mine too.
If you treat me like brothers,
I will treat you as my elder brother.
Director Zhou, you wanna see me?
Luo,
you did a beautiful job
on arresting criminals of Case 712.
Although you didn’t find the root,
it’s a great achievement
on suppression of guns and drugs
and the biggest deterrent to criminals.
Don’t say that, Director Zhou.
Actually I feel rather ashamed.
Although we netted quite a bit of contraband,
we couldn’t elicit
the key information behind it.
There are still lots of things we need to do.
Don’t push yourself too hard.
I heard
you interrogated every one
of those suspects
and haven’t had a good rest for several days.
You gotta take care of yourself.
We’re not as young and energetic
as we were before.
Director Zhou,
I know you’re caring about me.
But
I can’t feel at peace
until these scumbags are caught.
When I think about my daughter,
Director Zhou, my mind...
Luo, I was gonna talk about that with you.
Let’s sit down first.
Come on, have a seat.
Sit.
Luo,
there’s been a conflict
between you and Han Chudong
because of Luo Fei.
You mustn’t be like that.
You two
have survived from many difficulties together
and the time you spent with each other
is much longer than
that with your families.
What can’t be talked out?
Luo Fei sacrificed herself.
Han Chudong is feeling bad too.
She was his most satisfied pupil, after all.
I see what you mean, Director Zhou.
I’ll get on with him well.
Good.
This is a long-term job.
It isn’t a war that
you can win alone.
In the end,
you still need to fight alongside
your comrades.
I see.
You gotta deal with things at home
and mustn’t
get engulfed by your personal feelings at work again.
I see what you mean, Director Zhou.
Good.
I heard
recently Ms. Fu
has been hospitalized.
How’s she? Is she still recovering?
Her condition is not too bad.
Thank you for your concern.
Recently her mental condition hasn’t been so well.
Her health broke down
as soon as she heard about Luo Fei’s news.
I see.
After such a thing happened,
I can understand
how you feel.
Spend more time with her.
After Luo Fei passed on,
there are only the two of you in your family.
And you are
always not at home.
If you need help in the future,
turn to me directly.
Thank you for your concern.
Alright, that’s about it.
I’ll stop holding you up.
Brother Tao, Miss Jin is here.
Mr. Gu.
Leave us.
Okay.
Sit.
Miss Jin, have you seen the news?
Yes. My goods were found.
I gotta apologize
to you for that.
Oh yes, why?
I needed money urgently before
so I helped you deliver your goods.
But it was really too conspicuous.
Now the market has been flooded with them, you know.
I was having an awful time.
So I had to
give something to the police.
I believe
you can get that.
Mr. Gu, are you blaming me?
Of course not.
It’s business. We were both willing to do that.
No one is to blame.
But I wasn’t willing to do it.
I know.
I did it in secret.
Even Fang Mo didn’t know it.
But I’ve told Fang Mo to ask you
not to bring anyone or too many goods,
right?
I’ve tried my best
to reduce your loss
to a minimum.
If I had done nothing,
very likely
you would have been in the news.
Miss Jin,
I know it is a big loss for you.
Then how are you gonna make amends to me?
I’ll bear half of the loss.
What do you think?
And then?
We can still do business with each other
but the amount of the goods and the time
will be decided by me.
How will we divide the money?
According to your wish, we’ll go thirty-seventy.
Okay.
Mr. Gu, you know
it’s hard for a woman
to do business of this kind in Canglan.
If it happens again,
I really can’t hold up anymore.
Rest easy.
With your promise,
let’s wish we’ll still have a good time
working with each other.
Fang Mo, what are you doing here?
Brother Tao is talking with Jin Lanlan. I’m waiting for him.
Here?
Xia,
did they
cut a deal before?
You’ve been handling
things with Jin Lanlan.
Why don’t you go down
and hear what they’re talking about?
How should I know?
What’s up?
You lost his favor?
Fang Mo, do you
believe in fate?
You know what?
I can...I can judge people pretty well,
especially on relationships,
you know.
You’re unsuitable for each other.
I won’t steal her from you.
Don’t say that word.
I...Jin Lanlan and I aren’t suitable either.
I’m...I’m just saying
you...You’re even more unsuitable.
Think about your elements.
You’re Wood
but Jin Lanlan is Fire.
Won’t she burn you?
Hello?
You want a drink?
Then let’s drink.
Okay.
Someone...
Someone is with me.
I’ll bring him there.
Okay, okay.
Let’s go.
I’m not going.
What if Brother Tao needs me later?
You go and have fun.
I hate to say this
but you’re really a workaholic.
You don’t know how to relax at all.
And
I’m Metal.
That’s even worse.
Fire will smelt metal.
That’s too bad. She’ll smelt you.
You’re not suitable, honestly.
Just take my advice.
Brother Tao.
You’re going out at this late hour?
Do you want me to go with you?
No, thanks.
Xia will go with me.
Cheers.
Brother Tao,
why would you wanna come here?
Xia,
you’ve worked for me for years.
Do you think I judge people well?
What do you mean, Brother Tao?
I admit that
I misjudged An Ting.
I don’t wanna misjudge again.
Brother Tao,
is there something wrong?
Someone asked me to
be wary of guys around me.
Only you guys are around me
and you’re all my brothers.
I don’t believe any one of you will betray me.
Brother Tao, who’s stirring up trouble among us?
I’ll teach him a lesson.
What do you think of Fang Mo?
You suspect him?
He’s the most recent arrival among you.
Since you’ve asked,
I’ll be honest with you.
Fang Mo was recommended by me.
It’s true that he’s distinguished himself
and I’m quite envious of him.
But I think it’s absolutely impossible
that he’ll betray you.
You think so too?
What do you think, Brother Tao?
Brother Tao.
Brother Tao, you’re going out?
Don’t you need me to go with you?
No. Stay here.
Ma Liu will go with me.
Hello.
It’s me.
Any further developments?
Among those men Tuo Sifang brought here this time,
there’s this guy called Yu Zhenshan.
He’s Wang Xi’s nephew.
He wanna kill Gu Tao
but was stopped by me before.
I let Tuo Sifang
deal with him himself
and hoped that he’d go back to Hong Kong.
But unexpectedly
he ran away again.
Now I don’t know
where he’s hiding himself in Canglan.
I guess he’s looking for a chance
to take revenge.
Really?
I’ll contact the local police
and ask them to look for him.
Besides,
Gu Tao seems to
be on guard against me again.
I have no idea what went wrong.
By rights
he shouldn’t.
You’ve been doing well.
He shouldn’t suspect you.
Is it because...
What?
Nothing.
Listen, don’t do anything rash.
Stay within his sight
so that he’ll stop suspecting you.
Besides,
we’ll make the next plan
after this matter is clear.
Remember to get away as quickly as possible if there’s any danger.
It won’t be that serious.
Don’t worry. I’ll play it by ear.
Okay.
I’m off.
Hit me. Hit me. Hit me.
Harder! Harder!
Hit me!
Stand up.
Every day except chasing girls,
you’re just eating and drinking.
Just like a good-for-nothing.
With my physique...
I’m not Fang Mo. I’m no match for him.
Where’s Fang Mo?
I have no idea.
He’s behaving worse and worse.
Brother Tao,
I made an appointment with Tuo Sifang
to inspect
our amusement center tonight.
Okay, arrange it.
Shall we take Fang Mo?
Find him first.
What’s going on?
Where’s Fang Mo?
Well,
don’t ask me.
I’m not his mom. I...
Shouldn’t you look for him?
Okay, okay, I’ll look for him.
I’m hurt.
I’ll look for him.
Brother Tao.
You drive.
Mr. Tuo,
this place is just so big
but it should be enough.
Though it’s far from downtown,
look,
if that road in front of us is repaired,
it’s sure to be favorable to
the business of our amusement center.
I think it’s good.
What do you say?
As long as you think it’s okay,
certainly there won’t be any problems.
Brother Gu,
I wanna build a swimming pool here
and a garden
in front of the gate.
We can grow some rare plants in it.
If you like.
Xia, have you got it?
Yes, boss.
I’ll go and check there.
Brother Tao!
Fang Mo.
Get out.
Get out!
Zhenshan?!
Mr. Tuo.
Brother Gu, don’t get it wrong.
It has nothing to do with me.
Wang Xi said he couldn’t
control him before
and asked me to give him a job.
But when I knew
he had this idea,
I drove him back to Hong Kong immediately.
Fang Mo knew that.
Mr. Tuo,
you brought him here.
Shouldn’t you make it up to me?
You courted death yourself.
Then leave as you wish.
Brother Gu.
Mr. Tuo,
let’s talk about it another day.
Gu Tao!
Brother Tao,
Tuo Sifang that bastard
brought a curse with him
to do business with us.
I suspect he did it on purpose.
What do we need him for? We should just kill him.
I won’t let it go at that.
Luckily Fang Mo is alright.
If he isn’t, I’ll definitely kill both of them.
Go and check
if there are still
Wang Xi’s men left.
Kill them all if there are.
How about Tuo Sifang?
Too many things happened tonight.
Let me think about it first.
Okay, I’ll go now.
Why didn’t you tell me about Yu Zhenshan?
When I saw him for the first time,
I thought something was wrong with him.
And I started to look out for him.
In the restaurant he tried to shoot you
but was stopped by me.
Considering that
we are gonna do business with Mr. Tuo,
I sent him to Mr. Tuo.
I know he’s Wang Xi’s nephew.
Wang Xi is dead.
I didn’t tell him
it's about Brother Tao.
I'm afraid he would come back to avenge him.
You see, it did happen.
What does Brother Tao want to do?
Brother Tao doesn’t know about it.
The resentment between you
was something before I came.
I can't manage it.
I sent him back for you today.
You decide what to do with him.
But Brother Tao is my brother.
As long as someone wants to hurt him,
it's impossible if I'm here.
And Mr. Tuo.
If Yu Zhenshan
shows up in front of Brother Tao later,
I'll do it myself.
was something before I came.
You can rest assured that I'm a man of my word.
What happened today will never happen again.
Tomorrow I'll take Zhenshan
back to Hong Kong.
It’s so unexpected that he didn’t leave
and did this.
Brother Tao,
I was being careless about that.
Do you know your carelessness
almost killed us?
Hello.
How’s the inspection?
Brothers around me are all reliable.
Qi Xia and Ma Liu have worked for me for years.
They’re absolutely reliable.
What about the newcomer?
Though Fang Mo just joined us,
he saved me twice.
I stayed with him every day.
I can sense that
he regards my place as his home.
I can vouch for him.
Your biggest
shortcoming is being impulsive.
Don’t trust others too much.
You trusted
that woman before.
What’s the consequence?
I admit that I was being
careless about An Ting.
But you can’t distrust me
because of it.
You gotta know
the business we do will kill us.
I know.
But we count on our brothers
to help us with this business.
I hope those men
really consider you as their brother too.
Don’t worry. Everything is okay here.
Anyway, be careful.
Except yourself,
don’t trust others too much.
Got it.
So much hassle tonight. Are you hungry?
Brother Tao, you’re hungry, right?
I’ll cook something for you.
Sit there.
I’ll cook.
Eat.
It hurts that much?
Do you need to see a doctor?
I’m alright, Brother Tao.
It hurts
because I slacked.
Don’t pretend to be a hero here.
Are you okay or not?
I’m really okay.
Eat.
Brother Tao, Mr. Tuo is here.
Wonderful.
Brother, I came specially to apologize.
I’ve dealt with
Zhenshan properly.
I was being inconsiderate.
I had no idea
he was bent on harming you.
I’m sorry that Fang Mo was hurt.
This is a little token of my regards.
I hope Fang Mo will get well soon.
Brother,
it has happened
and I know
it’s useless for me to say anything now.
But we still have business to do.
The amusement center will totally be in your charge.
What do you say?
Mr. Tuo,
I don’t wanna pick on you
but I’m so sorry that
my brother was hurt.
If it hadn’t been for Fang Mo,
I wouldn’t have been able to play golf anymore.
Then tell me what I should do. I’ll do as you say.
Why don’t you tell me
what you’ll do and I’ll consider it?
Well,
I’ll still pay the money.
After the amusement center opens,
I’ll give 10% of the shares to Fang Mo.
Also, I’ll buy ten thousand pills
and you’ll set the price.
I sincerely apologize.
If that’s fine to Fang Mo,
I’ll agree.
Then I’ll go and see
how Fang Mo is doing.
Not until a few days later.
Let him recover from his injuries first.
Alright. Alright.
Brother Tao.
Sit.
How are you doing?
I’m fine, Brother Tao.
I was just hit lightly.
It didn’t affect anything.
What’s the matter?
I saw Mr. Tuo today.
He was very guilty.
It was done by his man, after all.
He said
he’s willing to give you
10% of the shares of the amusement center.
Are you satisfied with that?
If you want anything else,
you can tell me directly.
Brother Tao,
could you stop kidding me?
If I own shares like you do,
how outrageous will that be?
Besides,
you gave me everything I have now.
If someone’s gonna accept those shares,
that should be you.
Cut the civilities.
It’s now or never.
They aren’t civilities. I really think so.
After the amusement center opens,
I won’t treat you shabbily.
Thank you, Brother Tao.
Do you wanna go for a ride?
Why not?
Let’s go.
