Storm Eye

Episode 12

Why are you the only one here?

It's not time yet. Are you here so early to take attendance?

What attendance taking!

I'm here to find Professor Zou to ask him about something.

Engineer Cheng, can you help me?

What about?

It's about the Research Center's recruitment, I've already prepared the entire proposal.

I just need a suggestion from you.

I...

Just give me a little help.

I'm afraid of going in the wrong direction. What if I recruit a batch of useless people?

Wouldn't it be bad?

Our requirements are pretty simple for this place.

We just need people to verify data.

The requirement isn't too high for their professional ability.

They don't need experience either. The best ones to get

are the interns from related majors.

Won't such an approach have potential safety hazards?

No.

Except for the project leader, no one else can get the complete core data for the project.

To tell you the truth,

the work of verifying data is just physical labor.

There isn't any technical value.

You can teach a monkey to do it too.

You mean, I'm not even as good as a monkey?

You are not in this field.

You seem to be really concerned about the company's security, right?

Of course!

I used to work as a headhunter in Beijing, so I know all the gossip and scandals in every industry.

Nothing else is important,

but anything that involves the security of a company's core profit,

if anything goes wrong, nothing can fix it!

You're a pro.

That...How are you handling the recruitment in the Sales Department?

Morning, Engineer Cheng. Morning, Director Ma.

- Morning. - Morning.

Let's go outside. Let's go outside to talk.

What is it that we have to go to the rooftop to talk? It's just like in the movies.

I just started at the company, I don't want to cause trouble.

Let me ask you. How is your relationship with Yu Haoran?

Co-workers. Ordinary co-workers.

Then is the relationship between Yu Haoran and Yang Xun particularly close?

That Yang Xun--

Ma Shang, it's like this.

I don't like to play at taking sides,

so you can just ask directly whatever it is.

Previously, I went to see Yang Xun.

I asked him about the recruitment requirements for the Marketing Department.

But from what he told me, I keep thinking there are problems.

What problems? Tell me.

He told me regarding the recruiting requirement for the Marketing Department only to place the ads everywhere and hire a lot of people!

Is our Marketing Department

substantially different from that of other companies or other industries?

No. Doesn't the Marketing Department need to hire salespeople?

But our company's main product is the advanced equipment in medical instruments.

Therefore, does the salesperson that we hire

require having many years of working experience or professional quality?

Professional qualifications, working experience...

It's great to have them, but it's also fine without them.

Then is there a standard of eligibility for the applicants?

I think the applying eligibility

should be lowered.

Just spread the ad on social media, we must have a lot of applicants.

There is more efficiency with more people, right?

This is nonsense.

Our product is targeting the high-end market.

The target customers are the top-tiered doctors and private physicians.

If I hire salespeople who have no experience and no knowledge,

how can they even understand the product's introduction literature?

How can they demonstrate the products to the customers?

How will they contact the relevant industries?

I am telling you. If you submit such a proposal,

President Lin will definitely get anxious with you. Yang Xun really dug a big hole for you!

I knew it!

I snatched the job he wanted, so it's impossible that he would easily let it go!

Those people always do these things, I just don't understand why!

But this product is crucial to Dinghua now!

Dinghua invested a huge amount of investment,

and it's also the pivotal time to enter the market.

To fight such a battle at this time?

This problem is so serious that it's beyond who is going to be the scapegoat.

If you can trust me, listen to my advice.

Don't get mixed up with them, or there's going to be a disaster sooner or later!

Hello, it's me.

Okay, understood.

I can't hear it.

Hurry and contact Ma Shang. See if he can get close to Miao Fei.

Why does it have to be this way?

Hello, Director Miao.

Ma Shang, someone called Miao Fei is on the other phone, so we can't monitor anymore.

She is inside the corridor's exit stairway now, but we don't know which floor.

Hurry and get over there!

Okay, I understand.

Director Miao is looking for me. We'll chat again later.

Back to work!

Are you the one controlling Changan Science & Technology's stocks behind the scenes?

Don't change the subject.

Just remember this,

once you complete this mission, your father will be safe.

I know that Dinghua has implemented new security measures.

To look at the core data requires a cryptographic key.

I need you to get the cryptographic key.

I can't fulfill this demand. I'm already under suspicion.

You think of a solution yourself. I'll contact you again.

Director Miao.

If there's nothing else, I'll leave.

Okay.

Are you working overtime?

- I'll leave in a little while. - Okay.

Miao Fei has left her office, but her cellphone's location hasn't changed.

What is she trying to do?

Xiao Li, when will you arrive?

Within a minute.

The target is heading east along Dingsheng Road.

Received.

I'm at the bureau tracking the target. What's the situation at your position?

I'm following. She's making me go in circles.

I can't follow her anymore.

Understood.

My units have already arrived. You should exit.

She's been changing lanes and speeds this whole time.

It's obvious that they have an anti-tracking experience. Tell your units to be careful.

Got it.

We are already following the target, but there is an unusual situation.

There was an unknown car following the target.

They have already left. We have no way to follow both.

Concentrate on the target. Don't pay attention to it.

The target has anti-tracking experience. Make sure you keep an eye on the target!

Ignore the disturbances.

Understood.

Don't stop. Slowly drive forward.

Section Chief, the target has left the car and got on the bus.

She might have noticed us.

Don't worry. This might be the target's initial plan. Understand?

I understand.

Lao Liu, it's your turn. Stand by at the next bus station.

Received

The target has arrived at Pavilion Shopping Mall. The environment here is pretty complex.

If you're nearby, come and help.

- Section Chief, I'm almost there. - I'm almost there too.

Du Meng, continue by yourself and follow the target. Xiao Li, stand by at the subway station.

- Received. - Received.

The target is at the east entrance of the Pavilion Shopping Mall and entered a taxi.

The license plate is RT3991. I repeat, the license plate is RT3991.

Lao Liu, continue following the target.

Section Chief, the target is changing lanes from Yanqing Road to Jinyue Road, driving west.

Repeat the roads again?

Jinyue Road, going east to west.

Wang Zuo, pull up the surveillance of the bureau's front door.

Yes.

Miao Fei,

we have surveillance here. All conversations are tape-recorded and filed.

And our conversation now

is also listened to by co-workers. You also have the right to know.

Is this way safe? I can't let anyone know I came here.

Cannot let who know?

All our lines are internal. It's absolutely safe. Don't worry.

You can start.

So, you just said that virus inside Dinghua

was placed by you?

Yes.

But I'm innocent. I'm a victim.

Then are you here to turn yourself in?

I'm here to ask for help.

Okay then. We'll say that you're here for help.

You kept changing transportation methods on your way here.

Where did you learn these tactics?

I... learned it from movies.

I'm speaking the truth!

I didn't do that to hide from you.

I was just scared that the person controlling me...

I'm scared that he knows I'm here.

Since you already came,

can I take it as

you are ready to be open and honest?

You can tell us everything you know now.

We will ensure your safety.

Someone's threatening me... forcing me to do illegal actions.

Who is threatening you? What is he using to threaten you?

I only met him three times. It's that Xu He.

Right, there are also his people in Dinghua.

And I also suspect...

I suspect... he's the person that killed Changan.

If that is the case...

what is Xu He and your dad's relationship?

I dont know.

All right. Then why do you think it was he who killed Jia Changan?

I can't explain this either. I have no evidence.

But I just understand it this way, no matter how he says it.

Do you have any other evidence?

He wants Dinghua's core data.

I think...

He wants our core technology.

DS Materials' core technology?

Yes.

When I first started,

he forced me to insert a virus. I was scared to not follow his orders.

But I have isolated the company's network.

I knew he can't take away any important information.

You already did very well, but you could have done better.

You should have reported it first.

Today, he wanted me to steal the cryptographic key.

I really don't know what to do.

Even if I steal the cryptographic key, he won't let me go.

I know the only exit is to look for you to help.

Miss Miao is very smart. Your prediction is absolutely right!

The words that you just said

revealed a very important phrase.

You said Xu He threatened you.

What did he use to threaten you?

Let me show you something.

Section Chief An.

Help me open the door.

Does this wine cabinet look familiar?

Open it, and see what's inside.

The bank for every one of these credit cards is overseas,

and each account holder's identity is different.

Most of the account holders' identities are fake. This means that these cards actually belong to the same person.

Each card's account isn't much.

No more than fifty thousand US dollars.

This kind of amount won't attract attention,

but if you add them together, it becomes scary. Add them together, see how much is there.

They used your dad to threaten you.

Sometimes, stopping a family member's mistakes

is the best way to protect them.

Director Miao, where are you going now?

Please come with us.

I just said

I only went to the farmhouse in the suburbs to relax.

I didn't want to escape the investigation.

I had no plan to leave Shuangqing.

Mr. Miao. Then are you planning to lie to the very end?

What do you mean by that? Didn't I tell you everything last time?

Show him then.

Are you familiar with this wine chest?

Coming, coming!

- Hello, are you Mr. Miao? - Yes.

Hello sir, Tongcheng Express Delivery. We're very glad to serve you.

I've been waiting for you. Come on in.

Don't bother to shut the door.

- This is the box. - Sir, you've already packaged it up?

According to the procedure, we must check it first.

This... I didn't realize that.

I... I was just thinking of packaging it better to give it as a gift.

It's all right, just old stuff.

This... This doesn't cost much. If it's damaged, it's on me.

- Sir. - Yes?

You're spending so much money, why not just buy a new one?

My relative likes it. I can't help it!

So I'll just give it to him.

That... If no one is home, just put it in front of the door.

You... How did you know?

Those two deliverymen were our investigators.

Translation and Timing carefully crafted by the Gone with the Shirt Team at viki.com

An Jing is your leader, right? Why isn't she here?

Whatever you want to say, just tell us. It's the same.

If you don't tell us, how can we help you?

What is the other side using to threaten you?

Xu He told me that

my dad...

my dad used to do insider trading with him in the past.

I was ignoring it in the past. It was indeed illegal profiteering.

But I haven't used that money to this day.

I admit that I've made this mistake.

We only want to know about the person who cooperated with you on the deals.

Who exactly is he?

It's those companies that buy the ore. There are many of them.

I... I can fully collaborate with you to make a list.

I may as well tell you, we've already investigated it.

Those so-called companies are empty shells.

The listed people in charge are only puppets.

What we want to know is

who is the person

behind you.

I really don't know.

Who gave you those bank cards?

Those companies' representatives gave them to me privately.

There were many people. I really can't remember clearly.

Miao Huanyang,

you are still trying to conceal even at this time?

I know that I've committed mistakes,

but I didn't cause great losses to the company!

At most they just made a little less money.

My contribution to the company far exceeds this.

I know that the contribution cannot redeem my mistakes.

I... I'm willing to be punished.

Who exactly is the person behind you that you are trying to protect?

In other words, whose retaliation are you afraid of?

You... You say that, what do you mean?

Does Miao Fei know about this?

Miao Fei was still young then, how would she know?

But she's grown up now.

Now... it's been a long time since then. She...

Officers, you should investigate based on facts.

Don't drag my daughter in. You shouldn't affect her work and life!

It's already too late.

What's too late?

The person that you are trying to protect,

he has already targeted Miao Fei.

He even used those things that you did in the past

to coerce Miao Fei into stealing Dinghua's secrets.

No, no, no.

Don't lie to me. I already said

that there is no one behind my back.

Don't be mistaken.

If we lie to you, it will be an inducement to confess. It is illegal.

You are protecting him so much.

Will Xu He appreciate it if he finds out?

Xu He?

He has a piece of evidence in his hand.

He said it could prove that my dad told him the bottom price.

He even said that if I didn't cooperate, he would distribute it online.

Evidence? What evidence?

A recording.

What was said in the recording?

My dad told him how the transaction process was regarding the bottom price.

Did he send you this recording?

He only let me hear a little on-site.

He said as long as I follow his instruction to complete his demand,

he will give it to me, and my dad will be fine.

In other words,

the one who threatened you was Xu He, right?

Can you clearly state it please?

The person who threatened me was Xu He.

That scumbag!

Fei Fei...what has she done?

Look at it yourself.

So you did what he told you to?

At that time, under those circumstances, I really couldn't help it.

I could only see what he wanted to do.

Also, he made me plant the Trojan Horse virus. I knew very clearly that

as long as the Research Center's technology was not leaked,

our company wouldn't have any substantive losses.

What losses there were cannot be confirmed by a simple sentence.

But that's not even the focal point now.

What came next?

You've already carried out his order, so why are you here to seek our help?

I've already told your Section Chief An Jing.

This man isn't trustworthy at all!

Not only that he didn't hand over the recording to me,

he actually... he actually told me not to play any tricks

and even wanted me to steal the cryptographic key!

You're protecting the other person, but that person might not protect you.

Even if he lets go of you, he might not let go of your family.

Miao Huanyang, will you still shoulder the burden?

I met this Xu He ten years ago

at an underground casino in a foreign country.

At that time, Dinghua had just been listed on the stock market.

The company's market value kept doubling in growth.

My greed became bigger and bigger.

I wanted to turn the company's money into my own. So I moved money to gamble.

Xu He has never admitted it, but I've always felt

that game was a trap set by him.

With that one card game,

I lost several tens of millions of dollars. When I was desperate,

he said he could repay the money for me, with the condition being giving him

DS Materials ore's price.

This is how I was dragged onto the pirate ship by him.

He made me tell him the ore's bottom price secretly.

He would then increase it a little bit.

That's how he was able to buy the ore at the lowest price every time.

Within three months, I was able to pay off the debt completely.

You already paid him off, so why did you continue to cooperate with him?

Didn't you discover that

this whole thing was probably a trap right from the beginning?

After six months, I finally realized

that they scammed me into losing money,

and then Xu He appeared to pay for my debt and became my savior.

What he wanted was the ore.

Based on our investigation, your cooperation lasted more than six months.

At that time, I already wanted to stop the cooperation.

But it was too late. They could expose me anytime.

How long did this cooperation last?

About a year or more.

Why did it stop later on?

The DS ore was quickly listed as

a national restricted resource. The risk got too big.

He would let you go?

How was that possible?

To evade him, I did quite a few funding sessions

and transformed the company into a listed group.

I also retired to be the vice president of the company.

I was no longer in charge of the ore's transactions.

So I didn't know the price anymore.

But,

he still wouldn't let me go easily, and still kept entangling me for cooperation.

Finally one day,

he suddenly disconnected from communication.

For ten years, there was no news.

Ten years? Exactly when?

It was around...

May or June.

Be more specific.

I didn't see him every day.

How would I know when exactly he disappeared...

Think again!

Section Chief An.

When you reconnected with him this time,

how many times did you meet?

Three times. First time in the club.

He came to see me. I refused to continue to cooperate.

I was afraid that he would pester me,

so I therefore resigned from Dinghua due to illness.

The second time was at Jia Changan's funeral.

He suddenly appeared, and threatened me.

Threatened you?

You mean he threatened you with Jia Changan's death?

He didn't say it openly, but that's what he meant.

Where was the last time you met?

In the hospital. I was admitted to the hospital due to a heart attack.

He came there once.

He probably wanted to see if I'm really sick or if I am faking it.

I haven't heard from him since.

I thought he was dead and buried.

I didn't expect this old bastard

would want to drag my daughter into the water.

How do you contact each other?

He gave me a mobile phone

that I should especially use to contact him.

You left all the electronic devices in the office before you came here. Why?

I suspected that he can track my position and listen to

my conversation through that mobile phone.

That's why I left the mobile phones in the office, including my own mobile phone.

Your sense of being investigated is really strong.

Please believe me, I am really not a spy.

I learned all this from TV.

What we believe more is evidence.

We will not accuse you of your own arrangements. You can rest assured about that.

Why do you suspect that he monitors your mobile phone?

One day I bought fruit

in the supermarket near my company during lunch break.

He suddenly came up, and talked to me.

Was it the old man that was picking oranges?

All right, please describe

the physical characteristics of this person.

- Square face, - Giving people a sense of oppression.

Grey hair, he dresses like...

As for appearance, he looks like an ordinary old man...

- He wears mostly suits. - He is gentle-voiced.

But their style is different.

He dressed flamboyantly when going to the clubhouse,

and dressed in the black when attending the funeral.

There seems to be a birthmark in this position on his face.

It could also be an age spot.

He was probably in his sixties when I met him.

A decade has passed, so he should be more than seventy years old.

But... he still looks the same as before.

He is quick to react.

Not like an old man at all.

I was shocked when he suddenly appeared in front of me that day.

The orange in my hand fell, and he caught it immediately!

When I first met him,

I thought he was an entrepreneur or a broker.

He was kind and easygoing, he was never anxious.

But seeing him this time,

I thought he was very impatient.

He was overbearing in speaking and doing things.

President Miao...

Who the hell is this man?

Section Chief.

Fei Fei.

Dad...

According to the regulations, you can't have physical contact.

Please sit down.

Fei Fei,

I am sorry.

Dad got you in trouble.

Dad has wronged you.

Dad fell into the trap they designed.

I made one wrong move... and another one...

But at the beginning,

I did it to offer you and Lulu

a chance to live a better life.

Fei Fei, how many things are you involved in?

They... what do they want from you?

I have promised National Security to lead them to Xu He.

What?

No, no, no. You can't!

Xu He will kill a person without batting an eyelid.

it is too dangerous for you!

Section Chief An, this will hurt my daughter!

Dad! This is my own decision.

It was... it was dad who hurt you.

it was dad who hurt you. I am sorry.

Mr. Miao, the time has come.

All right.

Section Chief An.

Please ensure

my daughter's safety no matter what.

As for the information provided by Miao Fei and Miao Huanyang,

it basically matches the information we had before.

So, even if they are hiding something about their own circumstances,

the part about Xu He should not be fake.

Section Chief, I would like to ask you something.

The task force should have been looking for this person for a long time.

Are there any clues?

There has always been a special person on the task force

to search and locate Xu He through SkyEye system.

But more than half a month has passed. Xu He only appeared once

and it was while Miao Huanyang was in hospital.

Moreover, the target is not yet locked in.

Xu He was lost again.

Therefore, Xu He is likely to be a fake identity.

Even if we keep looking for him, it is a blind lead.

Department Chief Song, I have something to tell you.

Speak.

In fact, like everyone else,

after monitoring Miao's father and daughter,

I once thought that the case was about to be solved.

But a colleague from the task force reminded me

that our core goal from the beginning

was to find the spy who is lurking inside Dinghua,

willing to steal Dinghua's core technology.

So why did we suspect Miao's father and daughter?

It's because of Jia Changan's case, right?

So, this line of investigation was but a side one from the beginning.

The people involved may also be secondary people.

So before today's action,

I was actually ready for nothing.

Let me interject.

This harvest this time may be lower than everyone expected,

but we definitely did not end with anything.

With Miao Huanyang and Miao Fei,

we may obtain further advantages.

Carry on.

In fact, I know that all of us

have invested a lot of energy recently.

But the progress of our work is still slow.

I am just like all of you.

I have a feeling that I have been slacking at work.

So actually, I prepared a lot of words to encourage everyone,

but I changed my mind.

Everyone here is the backbone of our investigation department.

You do not need my encouragement and comfort at all,

because I know that each of you is full of perseverance and determination.

You can devote yourself to your work

until the day that this case is closed.

Our work this time

is like defusing a bomb sleeping underground.

If we omit even one piece, we will suffer a defeat.

With the development of the case, we find that there is far more than one sleeper like this.

We can't be sure how many unknown dangers there are.

Honestly, so far,

the circumstances are still against us.

But as investigators,

we should be prepared to meet the most difficult challenges at any time.

I ask everyone to

firmly believe in your next assignment.

Believe that we will eventually be able to

completely clean up these sleepers!

Yes!
