Timing and Translations brought to you by Your Secret Team
[Your Secret]
Based on what I know, your parents committed suicide.
I know that there's no way to look into Lu Zhenyang's involvement,
but it doesn't mean he's not wrong.
Actually, at that time, Lu Inc. considered acquiring your father's company.
Our bid at that time was quite reasonable.
But it's possible that your father lost his mind. He readily turned us down.
If we can't be friends, then we are his enemies.
My family's company was highly effective. You wanted to snatch us up. How is that different from robbery?
That's not robbery, it's called competition.
That's enough. We won't discuss these things today.
We don't have anything to discuss. Aren't we enemies?
We are here to discuss business today.
Beichen's father doesn't want to see his own son
be together with his enemy's daughter.
So, he hopes that you will take the initiative to leave Beichen.
Beishen... he was the kind of kid
who didn't like to talk or charm others.
It must have been really difficult for him to be a part of the Lu family.
To grow up in that kind of environment,
he rebelled. He hated me. I get it.
He was probably envious that you were able to stay by your mother's side.
He often told me how he wanted to study forensics.
He thought it was very cool and interesting.
Now that I think about it, it must have been your influence.
[Episode 23]
Hello? Dad.
How long has it been since you last called?
I have something to tell you.
If there wasn't anything, you wouldn't have called me. Go ahead and talk.
I am together with Gu Chu now.
She is Gu Zefeng's eldest daughter.
I know.
She also knows what you did to her parents.
I don't care.
I know. You won't agree to me being with her.
But... I also don't care.
Okay, then I'll give you my blessing.
Thank you.
Hello, Miss Gu.
Hello. Who are you?
Who is it? It's so early.
I represent the Lu family.
A few years ago, we met at Beishen's funeral. Do you still remember me?
Are you looking for me for something?
Ms. Qin wants to meet with you.
Ms. Qin?
Lu Zhenyang's wife. Beichen's mother.
Haoran.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
Please excuse that. Haoran is Ms. Qin's son.
Ms. Qin, Miss Chu is here.
You make take your leave.
What would you like to drink?
No need for niceties. I remember Beichen saying
his mother already passed away.
Yes. The Lu family has three children.
Two of them aren't biologically mine,
but I treat them all the same.
Auntie Qin, is there something you're looking for from me?
There's nothing left to be said between the Gu and the Lu families.
Originally, there was nothing left to be said.
But now that you and Beichen are together,
we must have a good talk.
Miss Gu, you are quite beautiful and also have a good personality.
No wonder Beishen and Beichen both fell in love with you; one after the other.
According to younger folks, the freedom to love anyone is an inevitable right.
But according to the Lu family,
freedom and family must have a level of balance.
Mom, help me take a look.
Which of these two is better?
I like both.
What do you think?
I have no comment.
Then this one.
Based on what I know, your parents committed suicide.
Do you understand what suicide is?
Suicide is a personal choice.
It has nothing to do with others.
I know that I have no way to look into Lu Zhenyang's involvement,
but that doesn't mean he's not wrong.
Actually, that year Lu Inc.
considered acquiring your father's company
to avoid creating vicious competition.
In reality, Lu Inc. had secret negotiations with your father.
At that time, our bid was very reasonable.
But your father must have lost his mind. He outright rejected our offer.
Since we couldn't be friends, then we must be enemies.
My family's company was highly effective. You wanted to snatch us up. How is that different from robbery?
That isn't called robbery, it's called competition.
Everything that Lu Inc. does is legal.
That year when our company came up with problems,
I reckon it must have been your family who caused it.
Miss Gu, if I didn't consider Beichen's position,
I would sue you.
I can sue you for slander.
My father's friends giving up their investments at the last minute,
this was absolutely caused by Lu Zhenyang.
Okay, let's not talk about this today.
We don't have anything to discuss.
Aren't we enemies?
Today, we are discussing business.
Beichen's father doesn't wish to see his own son
be together with his enemy's daughter. So he hopes
that you will take the initiative to leave Beichen.
How much do you want?
Name your price.
Ms. Qin, you must be mistaken.
Money, I have. And lots!
I can tell you. I won't do anything I don't want to do for money.
I haven't in the past, I haven't now, and I won't in the future.
You can really act.
You're no longer Gu family's eldest daughter.
Why don't you be more realistic?
I can solemnly tell you that I
won't breakup with Beichen.
- Beichen? - Auntie Qin,
I've already told my dad. I won't separate from Gu Chu.
Let's go.
My dad is going to blame us.
We couldn't even handle that little girl.
Isn't that good?
Love will always find a way.
Mom, what are you saying?
What does your dad dislike the most?
I understand.
Are you saying that if that bastard
and that Gu girl continue to be together,
my father is going to be furious?
The more his father is unhappy with him,
the better it will get for you.
This is called "When one thing falls, another grows."
Before it was because of my father
that we almost separated.
Now, it's because of my parents
that pulls us together.
Thank you. Thank you for forgiving me. Forgiving the Lu family.
Actually, it was my parents who have forgiven your Lu family.
Xiao Chu. Si Si.
Once you two read this letter,
Dad and Mom have already left you forever.
Sorry.
We were left with no other choice,
so that's why we took this step.
Listen to me.
Don't investigate further into our accident.
Forgive the past. Give yourself
a way out.
Children, don't cry.
Be strong.
Our family has experienced many beautiful moments.
That is already enough.
In this last moment,
when I close my eyes,
I see your brilliant and warm smiles.
Dad and Mom need to leave.
You girls must continue to live a good life.
Love you both.
You must live each day on your own terms.
Let's move on from the matters of the past.
Your relationship with your father doesn't seem to be too good.
I've never heard you talk about him.
Beishen was the same. Before his death,
I didn't even know his father was Lu Zhenyang.
Because he never satisfied his paternal responsibilities.
Sorry. If you don't want to bring it up, you don't have to talk about it.
It's okay.
When my dad was younger, he and my mom were love at first sight.
But after marriage, my dad was busy with the business.
The two of them were apart more than together. The Lu family also opposed their relationship.
In the end, they separated.
- Then, he married Auntie Qin? - Yes.
Then, what about you and Beishen?
After my dad and mom separated, my mom found out she was pregnant.
And it was twins.
But my mother was a stubborn person. She never told my dad.
She decided to give birth to the kids and raise them herself.
From that moment, we didn't even know we had a father.
You guys didn't ask?
We did. But my mother would respond that he wasn't around.
But we didn't make sense of what "not being around" meant.
Then, what about later? Why did Beishen get sent to the Lu family?
At that time, we were 10 years old.
The Lu family discovered our existence.
They wanted to take us back, to be taken care of by "family."
Of course, my mom did not agree.
After some consultation, she decided
to send back one of us.
At that time, Beishen and I both wanted to stay by mom's side.
Neither of us wanted to go to the Lu family.
My mother didn't know of any other way to choose.
So she let us draw straws.
[Move.]
If it were me who was sent back to the Lu family, not Beishen,
his life would look different.
He must have really despised the Lu family. When I was with him in college,
he never told me he belonged to the Lu family.
Since he was a part of the Lu family,
he must have studied in the U.S.
Why did I meet him in Pinghai?
During that time, Mom got sick.
He argued to come back to accompany Mom.
But not long after, my mother passed away.
At that time, we were college sophomores.
I heard from Beishen, not long after mom's passing,
that Dad had a stroke.
Then, where were you at the time?
How come I never heard Beishen mention that he had an older twin brother?
During that time, I was also in Pinghai.
Just that we weren't at the same school. We didn't see each other often.
Not meeting often doesn't mean not bringing up your name.
Our relationship wasn't too good.
Was it because he was sent to the Lu family?
He felt that since we were born to look exactly the same,
why did I get to stay by Mom's side and he had to get sent away?
But aren't the Lu family's circumstances even better?
Even though he couldn't be with his mother, he could be with his father.
His father hit him, hit him very aggressively.
Beishen... he's the kind of child
who didn't like to talk or charm others.
He must have been miserable being with the Lu family.
To grow up in those circumstances,
he rebelled. He hated me.
I get it.
He must have been jealous that you got to be by your mother's side.
He must not have entirely hated you.
He would often talk about wanting to study forensics.
He thought it was cool and interesting.
Now that I think of it, that must have been your influence.
In the end, because of forensics, we are now together.
- Hey, Wu Long! - Wu Long!
Auntie. Feet.
Come here. Put that down.
If there's something, just spill it you two.
Auntie, there's nothing going on.
We just wanted to come by to help you out.
Are you trying to speak on that Lu Beichen's behalf?
Auntie, do you remember Father's suicide note?
What do you want to say?
He instructed Si Si and me in his note
to forget all the hostility and continue living on.
You might as well have told me directly that you and that Lu Beichen
are together. Wouldn't that be it?
Yes. I like him.
His father's actions have nothing to do with him.
What do you mean it has nothing to do with him?
He is Lu Zhenyang's son! He is the son of your parents' killer!
His father's actions are his own! How can you say it is unrelated?
Auntie, what era is it right now?
This might be a different era! But that doesn't mean she should marry our enemy's son!
But that doesn't mean she should forget her own parents!
What era?
Auntie, your older generation can only oppose, oppose, oppose...
You don't know how to seek understanding.
And that Beichen's step-mother. She intentionally flew back to break the two up.
She's simply crazy.
Her? She still dares to speak?
I still haven't cursed at her yet!
Auntie, why must we live bearing hostility from our past?
Aren't you tired?
Do you know what kind of life I want?
I want to work hard. I want to be with the person I love.
In this world, there are so many men.
Why do you have to like Lu Zhenyang's son?
I just like him.
I just don't agree!
Auntie, I can listen to you with anything,
but who I want to be with is my own business.
- You... - Sorry.
Excuse me. Who are you looking for?
I'm looking for Qin Su.
Who are you? What do you need with Qin Su?
You go ask her.
Ask her if she remembers that time when Lu Zhenyang pressured the Gu Zefeng couple to death?
I am Mrs. Gu's younger sister.
I came to get her to explain things clearly.
Open the door.
My apologies, Ms. Qin is not at home.
Hey. Hey. Hey. Open the door. Open the door.
My old friends,
we haven't seen each other for a long time.
No need to be polite. Please eat.
- Okay. - Okay.
We haven't seen each other for so long.
- That's right. - Our family's Lao Lu isn't feeling well.
I am not at ease to leave his side.
Recently, his condition has gotten better. That's why Haoran and I dare to come back.
At the same time, I can check up on our pharmaceutical business.
You're already the boss in the Lu family,
you can handle house affairs as well as business.
Lao Lu having a good wife like you
makes him a real winner.
No way, the boss of our family is my husband.
And Haoran. I'm merely an "assistant."
How come Haoran didn't come?
He should be here soon.
He just left the pharmaceutical plant.
He'll be here soon. Don't wait for him. Please eat.
Okay, okay.
Ms. Qin, did you think you could hide from me?
Sorry. I don't know you. Please leave.
Stop pretending. Let me ask you.
That year, Lu Zhenyang intentionally cut off our Gu family's investment capital
forcing my sister and brother-in-law to death,
do you admit to it?
I've already said that I don't know you. Waiter, please ask her to leave.
Madam, please.
I know that your Lu family has power and influence.
I can't do anything to you.
But today, I'm not here to do anything else but
to hear you say
with my own ears that you apologize to my sister and brother-in-law.
Sorry.
Ma'am, do you know what kind of woman
people dislike the most?
A shrew just like you who believes that acting tough
can resolve all problems.
- How can you hit someone? - Distasteful.
Hello?
Hello? Auntie,
did you mute your phone?
You didn't pick up when I called.
I'm sorry. What I said two days ago was too harsh.
No need to say sorry.
Be with whoever you love.
I can't control you anyways.
I'm not your dad or mom.
Auntie, don't say things like that.
I'll cook something for you when I get off work.
No need. I have no appetite.
I don't want to live on.
Auntie! Auntie!
There's trouble.
- What's wrong? - Auntie found Ms. Qin.
The two had an intense quarrel.
What? Who said that?
He Yong called and told me.
No wonder Auntie's mood is not too good.
I'll go see her when I get off work.
Auntie. Auntie. Auntie!
Leader Luo, I asked a few eyewitnesses. No one saw her jump down.
No one noticed where she jumped from.
It must have happened very suddenly.
Go back and get some rest first.
Lao Lu will be here very soon.
I'm fine.
Xiao Chu!
Beichen,
Auntie died.
Her cause of death is uncertain.
Okay.
I'll take care of the crime scene.
Calm down a bit.
Preliminary judgment: Death caused by brain damage from a long fall.
Coupled with severe blood loss from trauma.
The skull suffered an impacted fracture. Brain failure.
Many fractures throughout the body.
Does her body have any other wounds such as
stab wounds or bruising?
Take a picture.
What caused that bruising?
I can't be too sure.
Evidence bag.
Give it to me.
The possibility of jumping from one's own residence is small.
If she was home, she wouldn't be carrying her keys.
I called her this afternoon.
She said that she didn't want to live on anymore.
I know she wasn't too happy.
I never thought that she would really jump.
Whether or not it was suicide is hard to confirm.
What time did you two speak on the phone?
Before I left work.
Why was she unhappy?
Because of the matter with Beichen and I...
and...
she argued with Beichen's stepmom.
There are no cameras in or outside the stairwell.
This neighborhood is quite old.
I remember the elevator does have cameras.
Guo Chao, go collect the footage from the elevator.
Okay.
Leader Luo, it's here.
Who did your Auntie live with?
She lived by herself.
She'd never gotten married. She only had me and Si Si as her family.
The house is quite tidy. It doesn't look like there had been any disturbance.
My aunt really liked to be clean.
The windows are all closed. It's not possible that she jumped from here.
She didn't bring her phone or turn off the TV.
It looks like she was only planning to leave for a bit.
Guo Chao, collect the phone to bring it back.
Okay.
The washer is still wet.
Auntie probably went to the roof to hang her clothes.
Auntie often hangs her clothes over there.
And dry these over here.
I would often tell her that it was dangerous over here.
She wouldn't listen.
Guo Chao, take a picture.
A fiber. Must be the fiber from the victim's clothes.
This position is most likely where the victim fell from.
Is it possible that she fell while reaching for the sausages?
The victim's lower leg did have a contusion mark.
If she really did fall from here,
the contusion on her leg was possibly created by these railings.
And there are no cameras here.
Leader Luo, are you saying that there might have been someone else?
Whether she fell herself or someone pushed her
or she slipped down,
it's hard to tell right now unless we have an eyewitness.
There's no way of finding footprints.
This is a communal area. Anyone can come up.
Who could it be?
Who wanted to kill Auntie?
Xiao Chu, don't be like that. We're just guessing.
Lao Lu, did the victim's clothes have any signs of pulling?
The material of the victim's clothes
were not flexible and not easy to wrinkle. It would be hard to detect any signs.
If there really was a person who pushed the victim,
the clothes would definitely have the murderer's DNA.
Lao Lu, I need your stepmom's address.
Cen Yun is your aunt.
You have to avoid suspicion by not getting involved in the investigation.
I know.
I'll send you back first.
When I'm done with work, I'll come to find you.
Right now, your aunt's cause of death has not been investigated thoroughly.
Don't blame yourself anymore.
It doesn't matter what her cause of death is,
before she died,
I had an argument with her.
I've never spoken to her so harshly
or treated her with such disrespect before.
She must have felt really hurt.
She loved me dearly ever since I was young.
Treated me as if I were her own daughter.
It's too late to embrace her and tell her that I love her.
I never got a chance to say I'm sorry.
What? Cen Yun committed suicide jumping off a building?
Do you know Cen Yun?
I... I... I don't know her but I've seen her.
When did you see her?
Two days ago.
She came here. At the time, I was at home.
She was cursing outside. I just thought
it would be better to avoid any trouble.
As a result, when I was eating out with a group of friends yesterday at noon,
she came to the hotel restaurant to cause trouble.
You just said you didn't know her. Why did she yell at you?
Do you have a conflict with her?
That's because she wishfully thinks
that our family caused the death of her sister and brother-in-law.
In actuality, her sister and brother-in-law committed suicide.
What kind of trouble did she start at the hotel?
Forget it. She's already dead.
I don't want to bring it up anymore.
That woman was a b*tch.
She dared to hit my mother.
Did she die? She deserved it.
Haoran, don't talk like that.
This is my son, Lu Haoran.
Mr. Lu, you were at the scene, too?
