Mom is hurt. You believe that by searching for the car, you endangered her.
Did you see me trespassing? Where's the evidence?
How could I have known it was not recorded? This is a total mystery.
My husband appeared!
I need to go back and find your dad.
Being in a similar situation can possibly help stimulate your forgotten memories.
What exactly have I forgotten?
Kewei, Auntie believes you'll find the answers soon.

[Episode 9]
I heard about your dad from Kewei.
I heard you want to investigate the car from the chip inside the car keys.
Do you have a way?
There just so happens to be a person who owes me a favor at this dealership.
I never thought that the person who could help me would be you.
The most unlikely person is always the most unexpected. Isn't that right?
Maybe you won't know right now.
But do you still remember when we played hide-and-seek when you were little? You were always able to find me.
I believe you can find the truth.
Give me the keys.
I know that you're helping because of Kewei, but still, thank you.
I'm helping you not because of Kewei.
I feel sorry for what has happened to your dad.
District Head!
Akuan.
Is your mom's injury better?
She's much better. I would like to see the surveillance cameras for that day when a thief trespassed into my house. Do you have that here?
I do! I spent a couple of days getting footage from the neighbors and nearby stores.
But I looked through all the footage from that day at 11:00 p.m. and there was nothing.
Then, do you have anything from a bit earlier?
I brought the takeout back. Ask Auntie to come down and eat.
Ah, I forgot to tell you to buy one less takeout.
Where did she go?
She didn't say.
Uncle Cheng's wallet.
He really placed first in the math exam.
Boss looked pretty cute as a kid.
He doesn't have any of the demonic aura he has now.
Memories of the past can't be changed but only recounted.
Chunxiong, can you edit this picture to be clearer?
No problem.
The picture is folded.
[AX-8217]
It's this car.
[AX-8217]
- Hello? - Hello, Lawyer Li? We have information on the car keys you sent us last time.
- That's great! Please explain. - The license plate is AX-8217. The owner is Xu Zhaode.
Are you sure?
I'm a hundred percent sure.
Wait, hold on. Rewind a bit.
Okay, here.
Youkuan, why do you have the 8217 car in your family photo?
[AX-8217]
Do you still remember when and where this photo was taken?
Xu Zhaode said the car was stolen a long time ago.
But if this photo was taken shortly before the car accident, it proves he was lying.
Do you remember when it was taken? Does Auntie remember?
The time of the photo isn't important anymore.
What do you mean?
The keys found with Uncle Cheng are the 8217 car keys.
How can that be?
How is Uncle Cheng related to this?
Cheng Youkuan, you aren't acting normally and your complexion is bad. Do you know something?
All of this...
may be related to my mom.
Cheng Youkuan, there's something I'd like to tell Kewei.
Auntie, why are you here?
I should have done this a long time ago.
Do you remember when I told you
the first time I saw you, I felt some strange familiarity?
Actually, we met before.
It was right here. 19 years ago.
Auntie, do you live nearby?
I—
I'm looking for a car. The license plate is AX-8217.
Have you seen it before?
I remember now.
Shortly after the car accident, I came here often
in hopes that I'll discover something.
At that time, I came here on purpose.
What do you mean?
Because I wanted to confirm,
if the person who caused the car accident and the death of your parents,
was my husband or not.
19 years ago, on the morning of November 9, I just came back from the hospital.
Because of what happened with Cheng Youkuan, my husband and I fought.
I want a divorce.
Yifen, last night was very unpleasant for me.
Up until now, I think I'm living in a nightmare.
- I really didn't ignore your call on purpose— - Right, you didn't do it on purpose. It's always your work, work, work!
Let go.
Sign the divorce papers and leave them in the mailbox. I want you to move out immediately.
But actually, I couldn't even listen to the words he said. I didn't realize that the words he said were very strange.
I left after taking the things Cheng Youkuan needed for being hospitalized.
[AX-8217]
He borrowed the car from Chairman Xu again.
At that time I was very angry at him so I didn't have a second thought.
But I didn't know that later he'd go missing.
Maybe it's the fifth or sixth day. I can't remember anymore. But anyway, he just...
There wasn't any news with the police.
So I could only turn the house upside down and keep looking.
So I called the police.
I discovered that our savings was missing NT$300,000 (~$9,900 USD)
He's never taken that much money out before and not tell me.
The more I thought, the more I couldn't understand. I could only look through all the clothes Daqi wore before going missing.
I thought maybe I could find something in there.
I never thought I'd find blood. I was scared out of my wits.
I don't know what had happened to Cheng Daqi.
I could only find the person that, other than me, came into contact with Cheng Daiqi the most.
I—I wanted to ask if
you know if something happened Daqi when he was out?
Or if something happened to the company?
I know that he frequently borrowed that car from you.
Before he went missing, he frequently parked that car outside of our house.
But before long, he and that car completely disappeared
and he hasn't come back.
Has he returned the car to you?
You said that before Daqi went missing,
he drove my car to your house?
Do you remember the day and which car?
November 9, in the morning.
Uhm, that car. I think it's
something like 8217.
Chairman Xu, do you know something? I beg you, please let me know.
But Daqi told me that a couple of months ago this car was stolen.
Was stolen?
That's not possible! I clearly saw it was parked—
That's not possible.
Our Daqi isn't that kind of person. He could never, he—
And after Daqi went missing, I wanted to help you find him.
So I went through all the company's surveillance cameras to see if I could find any clues.
In the end,
I found that Daqi caused a loss of NT$5,000,000 of company funds. (About $166,170 US)
3, 2, 1 cheese!
It's done! Uncle Cheng, after the photo is out, I'll give it to you!
- Okay, thank you! - Thank you, thank you.
- Bye bye! - Bye!
Let's hurry and go. The meat pies are almost all sold out!
Let's get in the car. I'll drive us there.
Isn't our car getting fixed?
Chairman let me borrow his car. He said that since Cheng Youkuan is on break, I can take us out!
Don't always borrow Chairman Xu's car. It's so expensive. If we damage it, we won't be able to afford the repair costs.
Your words sound a bit negative. You never know, I could buy one for you after some time.
Yeah, right. Our family doesn't have the money for that.
Let's go! Hurry, sit in the front!
Are you joking?
Someone also called and told me that the 8217 car appeared at the junkyard.
From its appearance, it seems like there was a car accident.
Mrs. Cheng.
Chairman Xu, let me kneel to you. (in apology)
I beg you, Chairman Xu.
Our Daqi has been by your side for so many years. You must know what his personality is like.
He's very timid. He would never be able to do such a thing.
Someone must have ordered him to do it. Or—
Or he must have suddenly gone crazy for him to do something like that.
Chairman Xu, I beg you. Don't call the police.
I beg you to please give him some time.
Mrs. Cheng, do not worry!
Daqi has been by my side for so long.
I know he must have some hardships for him to do such a thing.
I do not plan on calling the police.
Thank you. Thank you, Chairman Xu. Thank you!
Later, not only did Chairman Xu stop further investigation, but he also gave money to the junkyard
to scrap the 8217 car in private.
I also saw the news about the car accident.
A speeding car that resulted in a self-inflicted crash against the mountain wall.
But the ten year old girl insists
that a car from the opposite lane crossed over.
Auntie, I'm looking for a car. The license number is AX-8217.
Have you seen it before?
No.
I haven't seen it before.
Thank you.
You clearly knew about the 8217 car, yet you lied to me.
I didn't do it on purpose, Kewei.
I was just afraid.
I believe my husband was also afraid. He ran away to hide.
I just wanted to protect him.
I thought that he would turn himself in after hiding for a while.
You made me look for 19 years!
Then, why did Xu Zhaode send Secretary Zheng
to follow Kewei and Youkuan, and also break into SG?
The day our house was broken into,
Chairman Xu talked to you, didn't he?
The house being broken into,
and what I said about a stranger running into your company,
it was all made up by me.
Mrs. Cheng.
Oh, it's you.
Did I forget to lock the door?
The chairman is inside waiting for you.
Chairman Xu, I am so sorry.
If you hadn't helped me send the car to the junkyard back then,
Mingfei wouldn't have been kidnapped by the junkyard owner.
Then our Cheng Youkuan and Lawyer Bi wouldn't suspect you about the car accident.
Situations without evidence won't affect me.
On the phone you said
that Daqi had appeared. Did you really see him with your own eyes?
I'm still waiting for the news.
It has already been 19 years since the car accident.
That means back then Daqi wasn't missing but purposely hiding.
He suddenly appeared right now, because he believes it's safe.
That's probably it.
After all, the statute of limitations is almost over.
But Lawyer Bi and Cheng Youkuan keep on investigating 8217. What if Daqi is afraid,
so he hid again.
I want to see Daqi so much.
I'm really afraid he'll hide for another 19 years.
So before he appears again I need to stop you from investigating.
At least before Daqi appears again.
Of course, I can't let you obtain any information.
So I asked Chairman Xu to tell me if you discovered anything.
Today, Akuan took something from my former driver.
I don't know if it has anything to do with Daqi.
Where are the items he took?
Akuan took them back to SG.
Auntie are you there?
Auntie?
Auntie, is it you?
Who is it? Who are you!
Someone rushed in, and I didn't see who!
Xiaomi, you stay.
Mom!
Cheng Youkuan!
Someone came in. Someone came in and I didn't recognize who.
Actually at that time, I did notice.
When the thief pushed me down, I hurt my ligament.
Mom, you hurt your hand!
Oh my, how is it like that?
Was it earlier when the thief came in, I got hurt?
Your hand suddenly had wounds. Even though I thought it was strange,
but I didn't want to overthink.
From 19 years ago until now,
I was wrong and I continue to be wrong.
But now that my husband is dead,
I don't have a need to hide anything anymore.
If Uncle Cheng was still alive, would you continue to hide everything?
Just like the past 19 years?
Auntie is selfish.
It's Auntie who is wrong. I just wanted to protect the person I love. Kewei—
The person you love?
Then, what about me?
What about my parents?
Have you thought about my parents who were killed?
You love your husband, but you don't think my parents love me?
When I was sick, graduated from college, became a licensed lawyer,
I wanted my parents to have accompanied me through all of this.
They didn't have a chance to love me.
I also didn't have the chance to tell them how much I loved them.
Return my parents to me!
Return my family's happiness to me!
Kewei... Kewei!
Kewei!
It's Auntie who wronged you!
I don't accept this!
I don't accept this! I don't!
My husband and I will face retribution. Kewei, forgive Auntie.
It's Auntie who has wronged you.
That's right. You both will face retribution.
My parents have died so dubiously. It's you who caused it.
You're the accomplice.
I'll sue you. I'll definitely sue you!
You can do anything you want.
But this picture,
is our last, last happy memory.
♫ I was once exiled ♫
♫ in the deepest part of darkness looking for the light ♫

Kewei, I can't stand by your side right now,
because I know that by doing so, I'll bring you pain.
I'm sorry.
Give me a little more time,
for me to find the reason for me to return back to your side.

Let's get off.
Aren't we returning to SG?
Yaoqing told me everything.
So I told him to bring you here,
so the three of us can sit down and have a proper meal.
You eat first.
I just want to hurry and clean up my things to move out of SG.
And then shut myself up to take a long nap.
Wei! You need our company right now.
Even though we don't know how much you're hurting right now and we can't hurt for you,
but at the very least, you could tell us.
If you don't want to tell us, that's okay, too.
Just let us keep you company, just until you overcome this obstacle.
Do you know how important this restaurant is to me?
When I was the most despaired about life,
when I fell into the deep abyss, you pulled me out here.
That's right! We are a family!
Please come in.
Let's go! Let's go!
You were the one who pulled me into that door which is why I am who I am today.
So I will do the same.
Even if you don't need me, I'll still be here.
But it's not even New Years!
Who cares if it's not New Years! Our family just needs to eat together,
and we can have New Years every day!
Let's go! Come on!
Let's eat first and then talk!
Mom, dinner.
If you don't want to eat, at least have some soup.
Do you still remember the first time Kewei came to our house?
- She saw that you needed to take your medication, so she got up immediately to help you pour water. - Thank you.
At that time, I knew she was a good girl. Don't be polite! Eat!
I was originally thankful that she was there.
But I don't know how the situation became like this.
I really don't know.
If Kewei wants to continue to sue me, I don't blame her.
I need to take responsibility for my actions.
Do you really believe Dad would be like that?
I don't know.
I really don't know.
Right now, all the evidence points to your dad as the perpetrator.
Other than choosing to believe him,
I don't know what else I can choose.
Chairman Xu, can I meet you right now?
Akuan, sit.
The answer you want is all in this box.
What's in there?
The evidence that your dad lost money on company funds.
[East Empire Group]
When I saw the evidence, I also didn't want to believe it.
So, I asked for the footage of the surveillance cameras that year.
Later, after I met your mother, I decided
to seal up all the evidence and put them away.
After all these years, I've never opened them before.
Until now that you've grown up and have become an adult,
I'll pass these items to you. It's up to you to decide what to do with them.
So this is the full picture of my dad covering up secrets?
My dad was stealing from the company funds
and lied to you that 8217 was missing when it had been with him all this time?
Until November 8th, 19 years ago,
he hit Kewei's family car.
Because he was startled and scared,
so he drove the car home and wanted to discuss it with my mom.
And didn't think that my mom wanted to divorce him, even kicking him out of my house.
So all he could do was take the car to the junkyard.
And he didn't know that Fang Yanhua would look up the license plate number to find you as the owner.
You found out that he stole company funds and even stole 8217.
After my father went missing, my mother went to find you.
You told her everything.
That is what happened.
I don't get it.
You clearly knew my father took company funds
and stole a car. You even had evidence.
Why didn't you just report him? Why did you listen to my mom's pleading?
You scrapped the car and helped him hide everything.
I originally wanted to report your father.
But...
- Chen Youkuan! Where are you going? - I'm going to find Dad!
You just got over your sickness! Where are you going?
I'm going to find Dad!
Chen Youkuan!
I'm going to find Dad!
Stop running!
I'm going to find Dad!
Please listen to me! Stop looking for him!
I'm going to find Dad!
You... You just got better!
Listen to me. They already went to look for Dad.
Mr. Policeman already went to go look for Dad.
Let's give him some time, okay?
But I want to go find Dad myself.
Okay.
I'll go with you.
Chen Daqi!
Dad!
Back then, you and your mother were looking for him. You both almost went crazy.
How could I have the heart to ask you to clean up the ugliness your father left?
I trust that your dad isn't a bad person. He only made a mistake after a moment's blunder.
What East Empire lost was just a little money,
but you and your mother had lost your closest family.
If I had asked you and your mom
to take on the burden of this responsibility, it would be too cruel.
So I decided to take on the burden of all these secrets.
I didn't like for you and your mother
to take on the responsibility that was never yours to carry.
I never thought that now it also looped in Lawyer Bi and her entire family.
I cleaned up all my things. I'll call a cab and go home myself.
I'll call you later.
You took medicine. Why are you drinking?
It isn't medicine, its vitamins.
Nothing good happens anymore when I'm awake.
Even more so when I'm asleep.
If that's the case, why would I take medicine anymore?
Are the renovations done?
It still needs time. I'm going to move to Aunt Meiqi's house for a while.
It's time for me to go. If I go back too late, it'll disrupt Aunt Meiqi.
I'll accompany you.
I'll call you a cab.
Tomorrow... I'll get the lawsuit ready.
According to what Auntie said,
she's already guilty of abetting and evidence destruction.
Xu Zhaode cannot escape his link to this either.
I'm giving you a heads up as a courtesy... You should be ready.
The cab will be here in 2 minutes.
I'm suing your mom. Is there nothing you have to say to me?
Yes.
Congratulations. You worked hard for 19 years.
You finally found the ghost car and the perpetrator is dead.
Now you just need to expose the accomplice who's covered up the perpetrator,
using your legal skills you are most versed in.
Then you can start living a new life.
You think this makes me happy?
My boyfriend's father was the criminal that killed my parents.
I still have to sue your mom. Do you think this is something to congratulate me on?
I think the cab is here.
I'll go now.
Kewei, I'm sorry.
I won't give up.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you guys.
- Thank you. -We'll be leaving now. - Okay.
Thank you for your hard work.
What's wrong with you, honey? You keep staring blankly.
Have you gifted me a camera before? And taught me how to take pictures?
Of course not.
So you have never gifted me a camera before?
Absolutely. Not.
I already said before, you were born to be in front of the camera.
Why would I ever gift you a camera?
Did she really not give it to me?
How do I prove that you lied to me?
Do you remember back in high school, I took a picture of your family?
It's still in my dad's wallet. Is something wrong?
It's still there?
That camera was gifted to me by my mom.
I just remembered it recently.
But my mom said that she never gifted me a camera.
Maybe its been too long and she forgot.
Do you still remember when I went to England for a vacation in high school and I got into an accident and injured my head
and I had to spend a few months there to recover?
Yes.
But I can't even remember how I hurt my head.
I only remember walking out of my school's front entrance...
and the next thing I can remember is waking up in a hospital bed in England.
There's about a month that I'm missing in the middle of the two.
If you injured your head, memory loss is a very possible thing.
Right! But what if it's what they wanted?
What do you mean?
Think about it...
if I can't remember anything, wouldn't it be easy for anyone to lie to me?
I've heard a little about what happened.
I understand that you are unable to work with Cheng Youkuan.
Thank you for your understanding.
But I want to ask you something... is it worth it?
Spending almost 20 years to find the truth...
just to find out that this is the ending. Is it worth it?
At least... my heart doesn't hurt anymore.
I'm thinking the same thing.
Even though the truth I'm about to say will hurt a person's heart,
I still don't want to live a messy life.
CEO... are you looking for the truth of something, too?
No...
I just think it's a shame. We think very similarly.
If there was a chance to spend more time with each other, I think we'd be great friends.
This might be the fate between two people.
Then, what about you and Cheng Youkuan?
You broke up with him... He must feel pretty bad.
I think he's trying hard to live life somewhere on this planet.
Yes.
And the temperature's just perfect.
Yes. You can't even see it anymore.
Cheng Youquan. The reason I'm suing isn't to put an end to this, but rather to continue it.
Continue?
If I really wanted to end this,
I could blame your father and push all of it onto him.
But what if the situation isn't like that?
You don't think that my dad is the perpetrator?
I don't know.
But I want to know why. I don't know your dad, but
you said that you dreamed that he was beaten to death by someone.
I want to know what happened between the car accident and his death.
Is it related to the car accident?
There are still too many things to figure out. That's why I have to sue.
I have to establish the runaway case in order for the truth to have a chance to show.
Thank you.
Thank you for not seeing my father as a criminal.
And thank you... for not giving up on trying to find the truth.
Maybe... I'm just trying to find a more reasonable answer for our breakup.
Breaking up with you before knowing the results of the investigation, I can't accept it.
What if... after all the investigation is over...
you find out that my dad still is the perpetrator?
What then?
At least then, I will have no regrets
to breaking up with you.
Misters and Misses, thank you all for taking care of this newbie.
This is the winter melon tea that I brewed myself. Help yourself.
There are not many polite young people anymore. Good on you!
But what made you want to come hiking with us uncles?
Is this him? The one that drove the car to you?
That's right.
He was the one who drove Xu Zhaode's car to the demolition site back then.
So when you found the insurance card, you didn't find any human remains?
Of course not! If there were actual human bones there, I wouldn't even dare touch it!
Then, why were you on the mountain?
I hike that mountain every week. But that day I happened to lose my group.
Then I ran into a branch road, that's where I saw the insurance card.
Hiking group.
Hiking with the same group is getting boring.
Also, there are not that many people here; it's more intimate.
It really is. This is our secret area. Usually, we're the only people to hike here.
Don't post this online!
I'll keep it a secret.
That's right. I heard that human bones were recently found on this mountain.
Yes, yes. Last time we came, there were a bunch of police officers at that little road down there.
There was also caution tape. We found out later that human bones were found.
But it's also weird. Doesn't it take a long time for a corpse to turn into only bones?
We have been hiking here for years. Why haven't we ever heard of someone getting into an accident here?
How come there are human remains all of a sudden?
I heard that people who climb this mountain are all people that know one another.
Then... has anyone seen anything weird recently?
It's okay. No rush.
This is my business card. If anyone sees any strangers,
please call me.
Wait...
There's still this. I bought these peaches that your mom used to love.
Take these with you.
What's wrong? You look upset.
It's been this many years.
You finally have the chance to burn some incense for your mom and dad,
and explain to them what happened. This is a good thing!
Cheer up!
I wouldn't say that I can give them an explanation. There are still many things to understand.
Maybe more like a progress report.
But at least, we have leads now.
I think that there have been people helping us out along the way.
Just like... when your mom and dad got into that accident back then.
A little angel appeared by our side.
Little angel?
When your parents got into the accident,
I had just entered society and I needed to work and take care of you.
I had no ability to take care of their funerals.
You know what happened? Someone from the funeral home took care of everything and they didn't even charge!
I found out later that someone donated NT$300,000 (USD$10,000)
to let them take care of it.
$300,000?
Who was that person?
I have no idea. It was an anonymous donation.
I could only turn the house upside down and keep looking.
I found out that our savings account was missing NT$300,000.
Auntie, what's the name of that donation company?
Li Yaoqing.
Do you know that legally this is considered trespassing on private property?
SG's address is registered under the company.
I can come in and out freely under consulting reasons.
Your accusation doesn't stand.
The way to cure a breakup is hiking?
Why are you here?
Throw stones into a well. (T/N: idiom - pour salt on wound)
The report came out.
The clothes that your dad was wearing on the night of the car accident have Kewei's DNA on them.
Proving that he was at the scene of the accident back then.
For the past 19 years, your mom had kept that shirt until now.
It is clear abetting of his crime.
Next, it is very likely that the police will raise a warrant.
This is what she wants.
She said that this is the last thing that she could do for my dad.
What about you? What are you ready to do for your dad?
Leaving it all to fate doesn't seem like your style.
I don't know if what I'm doing is meaningful, but I think I just have to try hard and see.
Right. Why do you have that?
I made wintermelon tea yesterday.
No, I'm talking about that. Why do you have East Empire's cardboard box?
I went to find Chairman Xu. I wanted to find out what clues my dad left behind.
It turns out I went to get the evidence about my dad taking the company's funds.
Chairman Xu sealed all the evidence from back then in this box and didn't report my dad.
I don't even know if I should thank him or apologize to him.
Back then?
Are you saying that Chairman Xu put all these files into this box 19 years ago?
That's what he said.
[East Empire Group]
Is something wrong?
There's something that I need to make sure.
The target is moving.
Okay. Got it.
CEO, the plan is underway.
Tell Xiao Mi to follow my mom closely. I'm leaving now to meet up with her.
You're going personally?
She's lied to me for so long. I need to find out the answers myself.
Thank you. Got it.
I checked with Old Li from the general affairs office.
The second year after I entered East Empire,
the company asked the internal affairs department to add watermarks on all the company's paperwork.
Boxes needed to have the company logo printed on them as well.
So the general affairs department went to find a new manufacturer to purchase these.
You were already in college when you started at East Empire as an intern.
That means that it definitely wasn't 19 years ago that the evidence was sealed in the box.
The sealing timeline isn't the only issue. The documents showing misappropriation of funds also had watermarks.
It's obvious that it's not like Chairman Xu is saying, how everything was printed out 19 years ago.
So Chairman Xu is lying.
If we want to make sure they're lying,
we need to find the financial information from 19 years ago.
Do you have a way to get into East Empire's archives room?
Of course.
But... it might be a little hard for us to get in now.
She just got here in a cab. Now she's going down the elevator.
My mom didn't drive, why would she be in a parking lot?
Let's go down first.
Where are you?
Go back around. She didn't drive; she couldn't have walked too far.
Okay, okay. I got it.
She's there!
[Archives Room]
General Counsel, you can't come here anymore.
Out of the three times you have come, Secretary Zheng came to talk to me. Stop causing me trouble.
If my ID works, why can't I come in?
Secretary Zheng!
General Counsel went into the archives room again.
This time, his temper was very adamant.
[Copying 618 files...]
Send two people here immediately.
[Copying 618 files...]
General Counsel Li.
I would like you to give me the item.
Give you what?
Can I ask what this is?
The materials the legal department recently need for reference.
Does Secretary Zheng need to ask this many questions?
[Management Log-In]
[D drive]
[East Empire Construction A]
[East Empire Construction B]
We have cooperation drafts that haven't been recorded in the Legal Department.
I just wanted to find the previous materials as reference.
Secretary Zheng, you're too nervous.
If there's anything you need help with, you can let me know.
Protecting the company's sensitive information is also a part of my responsibilities.
You needn't over-worry, Counsel Li.
Over-worried, I am not. But I am considering sending you a certified legal letter.
Goodbye.
Do you have a way to get into the East Empire archives room?
But... it might be hard for us to get in now.
Do you think I have any other options?
There's definitely no problem getting into the archives room with my authority.
However, Old Yan told me that there are security cameras.
That's how they found out about me taking old employee records.
So if there's a next time, they will mobilize on a larger scale and us butting in hard now will cause a stir.
So let it stir.
First, let Old Yan go find Secretary Zheng to report you entering the archives room.
General Counsel, you can't come here anymore.
If my ID works, why can't I come in?
Don't be scared. Follow my lead.
Secretary Zheng!
General Counsel went into the archives room again.
This time, his temper was very adamant.
I couldn't stop him.
Send two people here immediately.
Before Secretary Zheng gets there, set up the camera that I gave you.
Make sure that the lens is pointed at the keyboard.
General Counsel Li.
The purpose of this is for Secretary Zheng to type in his password.
Give me the item.
As long as we have his account password,
we can see everything in East Empire's records
without anyone knowing.
Did you get it?
Success. But we need to be quick. We need to find the information
before Secretary Zheng finds out we have his password.
Fei Fei remembered the camera.
It's been so long. How did she bring it up all of a sudden?
She came to the exhibition center the other day. She suddenly asked me
if I have ever given her a camera.
I just brushed it off.
But she called me all of a sudden,
asking if we lied to her.
Did she remember that thing?
Did she bring up anything other than the camera?
No.
She hung up the phone after two sentences. I didn't even get the chance to explain anything.
We should just tell her the truth.
Fei Fei! You—
You two could never co-exist. I thought you cut off all ties, but I guess you have been meeting recently.
Fei, are you stalking your mom? What are you trying to do?
I've thought about it. The memories that I have lost,
whatever you want to stuff on me, I just have to accept it all.
Since you want to fabricate my memory, there will be a hole.
So I called mom and I pretended that I found that camera.
Sorry, I need to answer this call.
It's my daughter.
Hello? Mingfei?
Mom! How could you lie to me?
You clearly gifted me a camera! Why did you lie to me?
She really called you immediately to meet up.
What nonsense are you spouting? What fabrication of memory?
I just want to know why!
If it wasn't something big, why would you guys do this?
What is it with the camera?
Why are you both denying its existence even now?
[East Empire Login: Easte0207]
Boss, I successfully got through a remote access of East Empire's financial records.
Now, all we need to do is to enter Secretary Zheng's account information and we'll be able to find the financial information from 19 years ago.
[ Password]
What on earth happened for you guys to lie to me like this?
- Fei Fei, actually... - Okay!
Okay!
Don't say anymore!
It's just like I thought.
You used to be so obedient.
Stop pretending to be a good father and caring about me!
Xu Zhaode, why did you do this?
[Next]
I still don't understand why Xu Zhaode did this.
I feel like I'm close to the truth.
The one you have an appointment to see is...
Lawyer Bi.
I won't ask about this anymore.
So I want to be closer to him.
The truth you're looking for... actually doesn't even exist.
Do you know what the consequences of your persistence are?
Kewei!
I'll kill you!
