Never Say Never
Episode 20
I heard that
you’ve got a large project.
I’m wondering if you can let me
join you?
Aren't you too ambitious
for your age?
What have you heard of?
The amusement center.
I see.
You must also have
many other large orders.
Please let me join you.
Miss Jin, I’m afraid
this shouldn't be of your concern.
I also run a bar.
I have a lot of experience.
Maybe I can help you.
I appreciate you trying to help.
But I’m not in charge of the project.
It’s funded by someone else.
I’m just getting a slice of the pie.
I can’t ask for too much from the investor.
Just turned me down like that?
There’s really not much I can do.
How about other orders?
Let’s wait for a while.
You don't want to suffer a loss again, right?
Okay.
Mr. Gu,
although you
compensated me for half the loss last time,
I’m not like before.
I need to make a living.
Don't let me wait too long.
Sure, Miss Jin.
I’ll let you know when it’s time.
I’m off then.
See her off, Xia.
Any updates?
Brother Tao, you guessed right.
I met Ba right after
I sent Professor Zhao back.
Qi Ke is really annoying.
I have already warned him
and said enough.
Let’s hope he can figure this out.
Brother Tao,
even Jin Lanlan knows
about the amusement center.
The news traveled so fast.
Brother Tao promised her
to take her goods along next time.
Now she’s only left with a bar.
Her life must be tough.
You feel bad for her?
Not at all.
She’s full of ideas.
If she’s got nothing to do,
she might pull tricks on us.
It's a sensitive time.
We can’t help her much.
The priority is the amusement center.
Even if she pulled tricks,
she’d pull tricks on you.
You’re useless!
Are you blind?
Why didn’t you hide?
Don’t you feel ashamed?
This is such an embarrassment.
We didn’t have time to hide.
It was too abrupt.
We could do nothing about it.
How stupid you are!
What did Professor Zhao say?
We didn’t even see him.
What a fool you are!
Send the fake papers
to Tuo Sifang now!
Quell them first.
So Gu Tao won’t
take actions against us right away.
After sending the papers,
go to
Professor Zhao’s place
and watch closely
at the door.
Can Fang Mo
stay inside
24 hours a day?
He’d sleep with
Professor Zhao
on the same bed?
Professor Zhao
will never come out?
Just go.
Go! Why're you standing here?!
Go!
How useless!
Mr. Tuo.
Ba.
It’s so late. What’s the matter?
My boss let me send the papers to you.
This is great.
I’ve been waiting for it for so long.
Commissioner Wu helped my boss with this.
He’s absolutely reliable.
Ba,
thank Mr. Qi for me when you go back.
We’ll celebrate another day.
Okay.
Then I’ll leave now.
Okay.
We’ve finally got the papers.
We should hurry up
and start the construction right away.
This is one of our
major projects in the mainland.
We must do it nicely.
Yes, Mr. Tuo.
I’ll call Qi Xia
to arrange a meeting tomorrow.
Okay.
You don't want to suffer a loss again, right?
Hello.
Mr. Qi, it’s been a while.
Oh, Lanlan.
Why call me today?
You've got a
new backer, haven’t you?
Mr. Qi,
stop joking around.
You’re the only backer
I have.
Don’t flatter me.
Mr. Qi,
it’s been a while since you last came to my bar.
Drop by when you have time.
I also have something
to discuss with you.
Tell you what,
you’ve chosen the wrong time.
Many people want to meet me.
I’m too busy.
I’ll let you know when I have time.
Morning, Brother Tao.
Morning.
Brother Tao,
Sen Long called
and said Qi Ke
got the papers.
Mr. Tuo wants to
talk about the construction with us.
Qi Ke’s somewhat useful!
You can go meet Mr. Tuo.
Just talk about
the construction.
That is to say,
we’ll give those shares to Qi Ke.
This is a great favor
to that bastard.
I can't accept this.
That’s only because he’s useful for now.
What’s so great
about getting the papers?
Were it not for the papers,
I’d teach him a lesson.
Brother Tao,
I’ll still
go to watch over Professor Zhao today.
Watch over him for me.
Accompany him wherever he goes.
Yes.
Mr. Tuo.
You look great today.
Here, take a seat.
Xia,
I’ve finally got the papers.
The construction can start now.
Mr. Gu must be very happy now.
Of course.
Mr. Tuo.
I've brought you
the construction drawings
we drafted before.
Brother Tao said that
you’re an expert in this business.
We’ll leave it to you.
Mr. Gu is too kind.
Once the amusement center
goes into operation,
the business will be good.
I’ll need a steady supply of pills.
Mr. Tuo, you can be rest assured.
How many pills do you have?
I need some
to test the Hong Kong market.
Okay. I’ll let Brother Tao know.
You’re still cleaning the car?
Work hard!
Professor, did they harass you?
No, they didn’t.
If they had harassed me,
I’d have called Mr. Gu.
Will I affect your work?
Those guys are staked out
at the door.
Brother Tao sent me to protect you.
He ordered me
to keep you safe
so you can focus on work.
Okay. Okay.
It's fine.
I’ll follow Mr. Gu’s arrangement.
Professor, are these pills really that safe?
Can they pass the customs check?
You can try it yourself.
Then it’d be too easy
if you want to send me to prison.
Mr. Gu has never suspected me.
Have you ever thought about
cooperating with Qi Ke?
They’ve been waiting outside.
They’re very sincere.
I don't work with strangers.
Mr. Gu always treats me well.
And the pay is very good.
Why would I work with others?
Is that so?
Or is it because Brother Tao
has controlled your family?
What about you?
Why do you work for Mr. Gu?
Mr. Gu also controls your family?
Professor,
I didn't mean to
get the better of you.
Don’t overthink it.
I just said what those guys outside
might say to you
in advance.
Brother Tao trusts me a lot.
I need to do my job well, right?
Brother Tao, I’m back.
Sit.
How are things?
Professor Zhao said
he can give us 2,000 pills tomorrow.
Good.
After we sell them,
our money won’t be so tight.
Brother Tao.
It’s been hectic today.
I just came back from
the construction site.
I've talked with
the construction company this afternoon.
The construction will start today.
Mr. Tuo must be happy.
Of course he's happy.
He asked how many pills we have.
He wants to test the Hong Kong market.
Good.
We’ve just got 2,000 pills.
You can send them
to him tomorrow.
In this case,
you can go to
Hong Kong with him.
Help me
take a look at the market there.
Okay.
Besides,
learn how they
operate the amusement centers.
Okay. I’ll meet Mr. Tuo tomorrow.
Give Ma Liu a call.
Let him look after the construction site.
Okay.
Mr. Gu is indeed capable.
He’s got so many pills
in such a short time.
Sen Long,
remember
to transfer the money to Mr. Gu.
Got it.
Mr. Tuo.
Brother Tao actually
has a small request.
Go ahead.
Can I go to Hong Kong
with you this time?
So I can learn
how to run an amusement center,
and take a look at the pill market.
If the pills are sold well,
we can buy more equipment
to increase production.
No problem at all.
How about we go first?
I’ll let Sen Long take the goods there.
So you can stay a bit longer in Hong Kong.
I’ll show you around.
Great.
Let me thank you on Brother Tao’s behalf.
Fang Mo,
you can also
go to Hong Kong with us.
Mr. Tuo, I can’t go this time.
After Xia leaves,
I need to help with the construction.
Also, I need to watch over
the production of the pills.
Right.
Talking about the amusement center,
Xia really did a nice job.
After we leave,
there’ll be indeed a lot of work for you.
When we have another opportunity,
you can go to Hong Kong with me
and have fun there.
Mr. Tuo, you are too kind.
if there’s nothing else,
we’ll get going.
Okay.
See you, Mr. Tuo.
See you.
Make a call to Qi Ke.
Got it.
Brother Tao, things are ready.
I’ll go to Hong Kong
with Mr. Tuo in a few days.
Sen Long will take the goods there later.
Keep your eyes and ears open in Hong Kong.
That's not our turf.
You must be careful.
Rest assured, Brother Tao.
Where’s Fang Mo?
He went to some store.
Okay. Get things ready.
Yes.
Commissioner Han,
have you found anything
from those transaction records?
We’ve checked
those records.
But the money didn’t
go through Zhao Haoran and Gu Tao's
domestic accounts.
Gu Tao must have
used someone else's account
to send the money to Zhao Hanran’s overseas account.
So we haven’t got any evidence.
I think so too.
Gu Tao is very cautious.
No wonder Zhao Haoran has backed up
their transaction records.
But he doesn’t panic at all.
We’ve studied
the formula you sent to us.
They can indeed synthesize a kind
of drug which is nearly undetectable.
They have sold 2,000 of these pills
to Tuo Sifang.
Tuo Sifang said
his men will take them to Hong Kong these two days.
But I don’t know the exact
time and route.
Can you find a way to intercept them?
Now the lab is trying to work out ways
to detect these drugs.
We’ll check carefully.
Also, Qi Ke got the papers
for the construction of Gu Tao’s
amusement center.
Something’s not quite right.
Alright, I'll have people look into it.
Okay, that’s it.
Although the deadline is close,
you shouldn’t push yourself too much.
Make sure your own safety.
Rest assured. I’ll be fine.
Liu,
bring those materials of the new drug
to me.
Please.
You don't have to welcome me personally.
Brother Qi,
excuse me
for bothering you at this hour.
It’s about business.
You’re too polite.
Sit down.
Mr. Tuo, actually,
when I woke up this morning,
there was a bird
singing outside my room.
It was really pleasant to listen to.
Then Sen Long called me
and brought me this great news.
Sen Long.
Mr. Tuo.
Take out the goods.
Brother Qi,
these are the pills we talked about.
I have 2,000 now.
I’ll give you 1,000.
Thank you, Mr. Tuo.
Ba.
Mr. Tuo.
This is for 5,000 pills.
Mr. Qi is generous!
Oh right, Mr. Tuo,
I heard that the construction
has already started.
Right.
Is there anything
I can help you?
I’m a shareholder anyway.
I feel embarrassed
doing nothing.
Just tell me.
I’m very glad to help.
Brother Qi,
you’ve got the papers for us.
That’s the most difficult part.
We’ll just leave the construction
to Brother Gu.
He’s too busy.
Once I join you...
The most important thing now
is to sell
these goods.
You’re right.
Mr. Tuo,
I had people try this product a few days ago.
It was amazing.
Of course.
I’ll share good things with you.
Mr. Tuo,
have you ever thought about
doing this business by yourself?
What do you mean?
Look.
Gu Tao can produce these pills.
Why can’t we?
I can find a factory,
and hire several professional people.
You can have half of the shares.
When we can
produce these pills by ourselves,
it’ll be
much cheaper
than buying them from Gu Tao.
What do you think?
Brother Qi,
to be honest,
I’m not that ambitious.
I only came to Canglan
to stay away from
trouble in Hong Kong.
It’s good enough if I can earn some money.
Like making a small investment
and running an amusement center.
I don’t have to worry about it.
If it’s something big,
I won’t have the energy for it.
Mr. Tuo, you're overthinking it.
You know what?
You only need to invest.
Leave the rest to me,
and money will roll into your pockets.
Brother Qi,
I have a piece of advice for you.
Eat one bite of food at a time.
Expand your business step by step.
We need to share profits with others.
If you want to do everything by yourself,
you might end up losing everything.
Mr. Tuo, you're right.
I gotta go.
Alright.
See you.
Mr. Tuo, Qi Ke is...
He is
full of himself.
He should know his place.
He will suffer big losses
if he keeps playing tricks.
Sen Long.
Mr. Tuo.
I will fly to Hong Kong
with Xia tomorrow.
You can go there
by bus and ship.
Be careful.
Rest assured, Mr. Tuo.
You can go rest.
Okay.
That old bastard!
He’s old,
and doesn't have guts.
Gu Tao seems to be
everything for him.
What a fool!
He’s nothing but a failure.
Boss, Fang Mo is there
watching over Professor Zhao every day.
We can't get in,
and he won't come out.
It’s very difficult
to win him over.
Stop making excuses!
You want Gu Tao to play me for a fool?
Unbelievable!
Just wait and see.
I’ll turn the tables.
What should we do?
Sell the goods first.
Don’t sell them in Canglan.
Sell them to
buyers from other places.
Let’s see how it goes.
If these pills are really sold well,
you must bring Professor Zhao to me
even if
it means to use force!
Got it?
Yes.
What’ s up?
These are fake papers!
Impossible.
Stop the construction now!
Please don’t!
I don't know anything about it.
Let me make a call, alright?
Wait a moment.
Hello.
Brother Tao.
Some guys came and said
something's wrong with the papers.
What could possibly go wrong?
They said they're fake.
What?
I knew it.
Qi Ke only brings bad luck!
Deal with them first.
Don’t answer any questions.
Update me if you get any information.
Okay.
Brother Tao, what should we do?
Let’s see it for ourselves.
Sir,
you can’t simply
stop the construction like this.
How can we face our boss?
Is that right?
Right.
We can’t find this project
in the records.
How about
you come with us
and explain things
about the papers?
I’m just a foreman.
No need.
The boss gives me money.
I’m just doing my job.
What’s more,
I know nothing about the papers.
Really.
Who is your boss?
Mr. Qi.
A good friend of Commissioner Wu.
Which Commissioner Wu?
You know him, don't you?
There is no such person.
Then how about this?
I’ll make a call to our boss
and ask him to come in person
to explain things to you.
That's unnecessary.
You will be
severely punished
if you start working again
without the right papers.
Come. Put up the notice.
Here!
Don't!
Brother Tao, what now?
The construction is stopped.
If we can't get the papers,
we’ll lose all the money
we’ve put in it.
Tell me,
why Qi Ke gave us fake papers?
He was not satisfied with the shares,
so he created difficulties for us.
Maybe those officials
were also sent by him.
Brother Tao.
Xia, we had a problem.
The papers Qi Ke gave us are fake.
Can that guy you mentioned get the papers?
How come?
Brother Tao, I told you before.
Qi Ke won’t
work for us readily.
Tell me if he can get the papers!
Stay in Hong Kong for now.
Come back immediately once the pills arrive there.
You can talk about the papers with Fang Mo.
Okay.
Xia.
Okay.
Okay. Sure.
I’ll contact him tomorrow.
Okay. I understand.
Brother Tao, don’t be angry.
I’ll deal with the papers tomorrow.
After this,
I’ll kill Qi Ke.
Our goods were seized?
Aren’t they supposed to be very safe?
I don’t know.
Those three buyers
all ran away.
Where’re the goods?
They were confiscated.
Where’s the money?
We only received the deposit.
That bastard!
Gu Tao must collude with Tuo Sifang
to set me up!
I shouldn’t have trusted him.
Boss.
Tuo Sifang tricked us
into buying the pills.
What could he gain?
How could I know?
What should we do?
You ask me?
Get the money or the goods back.
Hurry.
Boss, our men have been arrested.
We’d be lucky if they don’t come clean.
What do you know
other than pissing me off?!
Hurry!
You talked too much!
Sir, what time does it leave?
Around 20 minutes.
I need to use the bathroom.
Okay, go ahead.
Excuse me, routine check.
Your ID card, please.
Whose bag is this?
I don’t know.
There are so many people.
Boss, something happened.
What is it?
Check the news.
Here’s a piece of latest news.
The police seized a batch of drugs
at Panzhou Bus Station today.
These drugs are hard to detect
and very addictive.
Consuming it will cause permanent damage
to the central nervous system.
Currently,
the police have cracked its formula.
This will deal a huge blow
to the transportation and selling of these drugs.
Next up, news from this channel.
Boss,
this is likely to be Tuo Sifang’s goods.
This is the only way
to Hong Kong.
You mean Tuo Sifang didn't set me up?
I think so.
Even if they didn’t join up,
it must have something to do with Gu Tao.
Asshole!
Boss,
we’re doing business with Gu Tao.
Is it okay to fall out with him?
What kind of business is that!
I just got few shares.
They can amount to nothing.
Now the goods are confiscated.
Bring Professor Zhao to me
these two days.
I have to ask him
about this personally.
I don't have time to play around with them!
Okay.
Brother Tao, Mr. Tuo’s goods are confiscated.
I have watched the news.
Sen Long managed to run away.
Now he’s trying to go back to Hong Kong.
Put your work in Hong Kong aside.
Come back asap.
Tell Mr. Tuo that
I will find out what happened.
After he finishes his business in Hong Kong,
I’ll meet him at Canglan.
Brother Tao, rest assured.
I’ll book the earliest ticket.
Bring Professor Zhao
to me now.
Okay.
