Last time you swiped a chicken.

Now it's apples.

What's next?

You're always fooling around

And I'm cleaning up after you!

Use your head for once!

(Chen Jiachuan) Twenty laps.

(Instructor at Gale Special Academy) Two hundred push-ups.

(Bai Fan, Ace Cadet, Gale Special Academy) You're never done, are you?

What did you just say?

Yes, Master.

Lost your voice at home?

Yes, Master.

Brother.

Xiaotong.

What are you doing here?

Skipping class?

It's the weekend. I came to see you.

I bet you're not here

just for me.

I've been craving your canteen's spicy crayfish.

Come on.

I'll take you there.

Here.

Xiaotong!

Xiaotong!

Xiaotong!

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

No!

(Three years later)

(Scan complete. Target locked. Supercontrol No. 2 experimental file.)

Hurry! A thief in the records room!

Go check the records room!

- Hurry! - Go!

(Jiang Zhen, Vice Director of Amethyst Group)

Don't move.

Hand it over.

(Bai Fan, Captain of Gale Special Academy)

Bai Fan?

It's been three years.

Instructor Chen, still as tough as ever.

Guess your leash broke.

Who let you out?

First day on the job.

Instructor Chen...

No.

Vice Director Jiang.

And I've already scored such a big win.

I'm really grateful to you.

Want to catch me?

Bring your neck over here.

Let me sharpen my blade.

The Gale Training Camp

has other students, Chen Jiachuan.

Three years apart,

and you still haven't improved one bit.

Three years,

and your bad habits are still the same.

If they found out...

you joined Amethyst Group as an undercover...

what do you think would happen?

Do you think they'd believe some lowly security guard

or me, the vice director?

Movement inside!

Hurry!

Vice Director Jiang.

Why are you here?

The alarm went off

five minutes ago.

What took you so long?

What are you all doing?

Amethyst Group...

is hiring nothing but useless guards.

Stop standing there.

Get moving and investigate.

Yes, sir.

(Security Department Director's Office) (Xiaotong's death must be connected)

(to Amethyst Group.)

(Three years undercover, and this is my key to the truth.)

(Jiang Zhen,)

(it's boring being alone.)

(I'll keep you company.)

(Now the game's getting interesting.)

(The Amethyst Group, a global leader in tech)

(developed the Supercontrol No. 2 chip.)

(It cracked a technical problem)

(that autonomous driving could never solve.)

(Now, the Supercontrol No. 3)

(is being fully upgraded.)

(It will keep them at the cutting edge of technology.)

(Amethyst Group)

The young mistress has returned to the country.

She carries the key

to unlock the Supercontrol No. 3 chip.

But on her way to the company,

she vanished.

Only her personal belongings were found in the car.

With the chip just stolen,

we can't risk another mistake.

If we can't find her,

we can't activate Supercontrol No. 3.

Let Mr. Mu decide what to do.

(Mu Jie, Chairman) I pay you

to solve problems for me.

Not to hand me more trouble.

Vice Director Jiang.

Have anything to say?

(Why did Bai Fan try to steal the chip?)

(It seems finding the young mistress)

(is the only way to take the lead.)

Right now, the top priority

is to find the young mistress.

Vice Director Jiang.

I'll handle this matter.

Don't complicate things.

- But, Vice Director Jiang... - Was I not clear enough?

A guard dog wanting to run the Nong family.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this company now belongs to the Jiangs.

(Nong Cangnan, Eldest Son of Amethyst Group)

Third Young Master, perfect timing.

Why don't you take my seat

and guard the Nong family?

Why you...

Fine, I'm not going to argue with you.

My sister

likely just went to a friend's place.

No need to get all worked up.

Or maybe

someone doesn't want her to come back.

What's that supposed to mean?

My brother's paralyzed,

but he's not dead.

If you want to take his place,

you'll have to wait.

Cangnan.

If you're tired from walking,

sit down and rest.

My former sister-in-law,

the company's still partly mine.

I won't let him

take my brother's place.

Vice Director Jiang's capability

is undeniable.

But always working alone

must be exhausting.

Why not get yourself an assistant

to make things easier for you?

Last night,

I ran into some trouble.

Thankfully, Bai...

Bai Fan.

Bai Fan.

I saw his impressive skills.

Since we're short on people,

let him be your assistant.

Bai Fan, Security Captain, reporting for duty.

Another mouth means another burden.

- I think... - Perhaps you don't trust me.

Or don't you trust

Ms. Mu's judgment?

Alright.

The urgent task now

is to find the young mistress

and launch the Supercontrol No. 3 project.

Don't worry.

I'll make sure to bring her back.

And if you don't?

I'll bring her back for sure.

Want to bet?

Sure, I'm in.

If you can't bring her back,

then what?

If I can't bring her back,

my seat as the vice director

will be yours.

Deal.

Yaoji.

Dig up clues about her disappearance.

Meet at the usual spot in an hour.

Ms. Mu wants me

to work with you.

Not necessary.

(Unlocking car door)

Ms. Mu gave me access to this car.

Autopilot engaged.

Are you nuts?

Put it down.

I can't put any of it down.

This isn't your concern.

This is a personal score between him and me.

I was lying low there.

He just had to hound me.

So of course I had to drag you in and arrest you.

Right?

Itching for a punch, huh?

Why so hot-tempered?

You're not cute anymore.

That's my coffee.

Yours?

Here.

Psycho.

Psycho.

Where's the disc?

You want it?

Trade for it.

Oh, I forgot to mention.

Without the disc I have,

yours is worthless.

Exactly.

Without the one in my hand,

yours is useless.

Get out.

This is Yaoji?

Nope.

Why?

Don't kill me!

Stop hitting me!
