Don't you want to study in University of Public Security?
Since we have enough manpower,
why don't you go study?
Dad.
Hold on.
I don't get it.
I'm the best person to handle this case.
Why did you ask someone else to do it?
Guo Yue.
I have made an appointment with the counselor for you.
Have you talked to him?
What for?
Would it help the child-kidnapping case?
I know that...
the injury...
has brought you great psychological trauma.
I think my biggest trauma is that...
I can't stand a child being harmed.
I was thinking...
how long you need to find me.
It wasn't long.
I was just considering,
if it's necessary to talk to you.
Thirty years ago,
when I woke up on the bed...
in the department of burns,
I thought...
if I were dead,
does it mean you can go on living...
wonderfully and beautifully?
Live on with the crime of arson and murder.
All the beauties in my life...
have been destroyed by you...
since I met you.
Therefore,
I will never let you destroy others again.
All the beauties?
Look closely.
All the beauties are fake.
Ugliness is the truth of life.
Look closely.
Li Ze.
What do you want?
Look at yourself.
Honestly, I feel excited.
You'd better live longer.
So you'll know,
what I actually want.
Stand right there.
Let me tell you.
I'm dying.
If you don't stop,
I don't mind dying in the prison.
Alright then.
I've been a living dead...
for the past 30 years.
If you dare to cut me,
this will free...
the two of us.
The past 30 years are your karma.
Could you still want an eye for an eye?
An eye for an eye?
I have the right to make sure...
all of you remember the pain I've suffered.
Since you lighted the fire,
you had given up all your rights.
You have no right to discuss with me.
You're twisting the truth.
I'm not the criminal.
You're not the victim either.
So...
who's the criminal?
Mum.
You look serious.
Why are you so happy every day?
Aren't you sad?
Because I'm always thinking about happy things,
so I will not be sad.
Aren't you lying to yourself?
Mum.
Not all liars are bad people.
I'm busy. Please leave a message.
Lin Xu Zhi.
There's something...
that I'm unsure if I should say.
Lin Xu Zhi.
There's something...
that I'm unsure if I should say.
Tian Fang, I've fulfilled my promise.
What about you?
Mum, save me.
Mum.
Why is the grass cut?
What did you say?
Mum.
Is there a field in where you live?
The scent of grass is pleasurable.
Do you like it too?
I don't like the scent of grass.
Because the scent of grass...
is a rescue signal released...
by the grass after being cut.
I don't like the scent of grass.
The grass is beheaded.
They must be screaming, right?
It's just that we can't hear it.
Xiao Ou.
Here.
Sit here.
Listen to me.
You must learn to cry for help.
When you feel danger in the future,
you have to cry for help.
Mum.
Save me.
Will anyone hear it?
Will anyone want to hear it?
Yes.
I will hear it.
When you cry for help, I'll surely hear it.
Mum, you have already saved me.
I'm Lin Xiao Ou now.
I'll hide myself well.
Don't worry.
Xiao Ou.
You're Lin Xiao Ou.
You're my daughter.
I'll take you away.
Mum.
You're not abandoned.
You have chosen me.
I will never abandon you.
Not her.
Impossible.
I've inquired from the consulting room of the prison.
She turned herself in then.
She treated you like that,
yet you're still siding her.
It was my fault.
I loved to drink then.
I neglected my family.
I want to retrieve it now.
It is hard.
You pasted this, right?
Why is this with you?
You know the person who lives in that room?
What's your relationship with her?
I wish I can be related to her.
What do you mean?
It's been 30 years.
I can't be sure.
Even if we're related,
she might not want a father like me.
Did you have the wrong person?
I don't know her, but I know her sister.
Her biological sister.
She's definitely not the one you're looking for.
Could it be that I'll never see her again?
My poor daughter,
where are you?
Since you think she's your daughter,
why did you scare her...
with a dead bird?
I didn't scare her.
She liked to catch birds when she was small.
I was just...
using this way to prove...
if she's...
But this can't prove anything.
You said Zhong Hui is innocent.
Do you have evidence?
I don't.
If I have,
would I let her be imprisoned for so long?
So I want to find my daughter.
She was there...
at the fire.
Maybe she knows something.
Oh, yes, you said you're a journalist, right?
Can you help me to find her?
Please take care of Xiao Ou.
I'll pick her up later.
Xu Zhi, you didn't know,
but Sister Che has been nagging about you.
She misses you.
She said when you were a child,
you swore that you...
would never be a mother.
She remembered it.
Now not anymore.
She has forgotten.
She was mentioning Xu Zhi nonstop.
Her daughter was worried.
So she brought her home.
I always thought Auntie Che would never age.
People always think they're kids,
as long as their parents are still around.
They think they have all the time.
When they become a mother,
they will know the decades of struggle.
You're good.
You've improved,
haven't you?
You have become a mother.
You have sworn for nothing.
If Sister Che sees this,
she'll be very happy.
Time for food.
Babies.
Time for food.
It's time.
Xu Zhi.
Why don't you like eggs?
I don't want the chicks to be born.
Xu Zhi.
Look at those wild flowers.
They sprouted from the ground themselves,
then blossom on their own.
The blossoms are beautiful.
If you're happy,
others will be happy too when they see you.
Is that right?
I don't want to be a wild flower.
I don't want to be a wild child.
Don't cry.
You have to live here even if you cry.
Go eat something.
This way please.
Xu Zhi.
How are you?
I want to ask you something before we eat.
Do we have to talk...
about work when eating as a family?
This is all the info I found...
regarding the Ferris wheel that I remember.
It's near Auntie Che's house.
I have also looked up...
the record of missing children...
in the cities...
and countryside around that area.
My name wasn't listed there.
Therefore,
I was abandoned.
Is it important?
Is it important now?
Yes.
You're my daughter.
Can't this identity calm you?
Why?
Do you know something?
Because I don't remember anything that happened...
before the adoption.
Why?
After you adopted me,
did you inquire about my biological mother?
I hate her.
Because she abandoned you.
But I like her as well.
Because of her, I have you.
So I have no reason to find out about her.
Even if I see her,
I wouldn't let her take you back.
I don't mean to leave you.
I...
You're taking the mistakes...
of others to yourself.
You think it's your failure,
right?
Is it not?
I want to have a happy lunch.
But...
I don't like to be in this tiny space.
Come with me.
Speak up.
Miss Gao.
I...
have lost Lin Xu Zhi.
Tian Fang.
Do you think I'm your parent?
You two are teaming up against me,
right?
How would I dare?
To be honest, Gao Shan,
can you find her for me?
I...
You really love her, right?
Liar.
Tian Fang.
I've fulfilled my promise. What about you?
I can't...
pay this debt off.
Lin Xu Zhi.
You'd better show up yourself.
Don't force me to find you.
Welcome.
Have a look at the menu.
A glass of red wine.
Okay.
What would you like?
Water.
Could you please...
throw this into the rubbish bin?
Your red wine.
Your water.
I would like to drink a glass of red wine.
Then listen to you talking about your life.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Where do you go on your day-off?
Why about your future plan?
Do you remember when...
I brought you to Beidai River?
Xu Zhi.
When I found you,
you were holding a dying seagull in your hands.
I told you we couldn't do anything.
Let's go.
You said you didn't want it...
to die alone.
Then we started talking.
You said it would hear us.
So it didn't feel lonely.
After a long while,
we were out of topic.
You started to sing.
That was long ago.
That wasn't long ago.
I never know how to face her.
I have a lot to say.
I want to comfort her.
But I'm unable to say anything.
Lin Xu Zhi.
You'd better show up yourself.
Don't force me to find you.
Please hold on.
I'm not in a hurry.
There's some tea.
It's done.
Thank you.
Please visit again.
Okay.
Auntie, I want to ask you something.
It's you.
I'm closing.
Goodbye.
Just a small talk.
Auntie, I don't know him.
Why are you so cruel?
It's been 30 years. What's the hate?
I'll answer a call.
Here.
Old Song.
Zhong Hui.
I need to ask for your favor.
I'm really in trouble this time.
I have no other way.
If you don't help me,
I'll die with him.
Hello, Zhong Hui.
Listen to me, Zhong Hui.
Hello, are you alright?
Hello.
Is this Tian Fang?
I'm from the police station of Xi Gang area.
I'm Guo Yue.
We suspect that you're involved in a case of arson.
Me?
Arson?
No.
Kidnap?
Why are you...
looking for me?
A girl called Mu Lian Sheng.
She's 7 years old.
Do you know her?
I don't know her.
Did you come to Dalian...
because of Changchuan?
How is this case relevant to Changchuan?
This girl is...
related to Changchuan because of...
a person called Tian Fang.
To be exact,
a woman called Tian Fang.
Does it ring any bell?
No.
At least not now.
May I ask around in my workshop first?
I'll call you back later.
You must have thought about something.
You have to think it through.
This is a serious case.
Concealing the fact is also illegal.
No.
Officer Guo, right?
How can this be?
I really don't know about the arson and kidnapping...
case you mentioned.
Yes, I'm Tian Fang.
I'm also related to Changchuan.
But I'm a male, right?
Do you know who she is?
Exactly because I don't know,
I want to ask around.
I don't want to delay your work.
Okay.
We'll keep in touch.
I'm busy. Please leave a message.
Lin Xu Zhi.
You're really busy now.
Did you pretend to be me and go to Changchuan?
Are you with Mu Lian Sheng now?
The police of Dalian found me.
Message ends.
Hello, madam.
What would you like?
Ice cream, okay?
Ice cream, please.
Okay.
Xiao Ou.
I have to meet...
a very important friend.
However,
you can't be seen by her, right?
So, you just wait for me here.
I'll be...
sitting there.
Mum.
It's fun.
It's like in a movie.
Thank you.
You're really busy now.
Did you pretend to be me and go to Changchuan?
Are you with Mu Lian Sheng now?
The police of Dalian found me.
