(Adapted from the novel "Counterattack" by Chai Ji Dan)

(Episode 8, I Decide Who You're Missing)

I really want to kill you.

I'm the one who wants to kill you.

It's the middle of the night.

What are you doing?

No.

Did he discover something?

Did Guo Cheng Yu tell him?

Even if Guo Cheng Yu didn't tell him,

Yue Yue is with him every day.

Could she have let something slip?

Hey.

Why...

do you want to kill me?

You're a troublemaker.

How...

How did I trouble you?

You don't even know?

Spare me.

You're so evil.

How can I spare you so easily?

Then...

Then what do you want?

You tell me.

I...

Do you miss me?

I want to chop you up.

Go ahead.

Come and chop me up.

Idiot.

Darn it.

What about this?

It's okay.

I'll wait for you outside.

Wait.

This, this, and these.

Wrap them all up for me.

Do you have bigger ones?

Stress-relieving toys, 10 yuan each.

I'll take all of them.

Okay.

It used to take you five minutes to wash up.

Now, 50 minutes isn't even enough.

Yes.

Why am I so pretentious now?

This is not a good sign.

This won't do.

I need to change back.

It's been six whole days.

I haven't heard from him in six days.

He must be having so much fun.

But that makes sense.

He eats and drinks well with nice scenery to enjoy.

If I were him, I wouldn't come back either.

Chi Cheng.

Chi Cheng.

You...

You...

When did you get here?

Since the moment you missed me.

How do you know you're the one I'm missing?

What are you doing?

You...

I decide...

who you're missing.

What are you doing?

I'm warning you, don't mess around.

Move inside.

Let's just sleep.

No.

Am I too immersed in my acting?

Let me ask you.

What is this?

Are you stupid or am I?

Chopsticks.

No.

In my hand, it can turn into an art installation the next day.

Here we go again.

An art installation?

I plan to start an art installation company.

You don't know about that, do you?

An art installation uses art,

lights,

and sounds...

to make something artistic.

The vivarium I made for Green-Eyed Monster is also one.

But it's more practical.

It's not the same.

With your brain,

are you sure you can figure it out?

Why can't I?

You've been to my house, haven't you?

- Yes. - Is it nice?

Yes.

Let me tell you.

I made the flower pots, tables, chairs, lamps,

and cutlery myself.

Am I incredible or what?

I told you.

I've always been artistic.

Also, I did some related work at my previous company.

I did a lot of research...

and found out that art nowadays...

is mostly designed for big exhibitions.

I don't want that. I want to make small, beautiful,

enjoyable, and practical things.

Anyone who's interested in art...

can come to buy from me according to their needs.

Art is...

It's classless.

Everyone can use it.

Are you listening to me?

That's a good idea.

What about you?

I...

have my own plans.

Let's eat.

This is for you.

Use it however you want.

I don't want it.

Do you think I'm a gigolo you're keeping?

You'll need a lot of money to start a business.

Just think of it as my investment.

I'm going to work.

Pay the bill.

He left me money for the bill.

Sir.

Go home.

The snakes are all sold.

A big client came last time...

and bought all the snakes.

This time, I'm not here to buy snake eggs.

I'm here to buy female snakes.

- Female snakes? - Yes.

I really like the snake eggs you sold me last time.

So this time, I'm planning to buy the female snake.

Help me send a message to the guard.

See if he can get the female snake out.

That's impossible. Absolutely impossible.

There are several lines of defense inside.

Do you think you can get her out if you want to?

Then how did you get those snake eggs out?

That's different.

There is a set number of female snakes.

They can't lose even one.

How about this?

I'll find a similar female snake...

to replace that female snake.

That way, the number of female snakes will remain the same.

Don't even think about it. It's impossible.

Sir.

Here.

Take a look.

Sir, if they really discovered it,

first, the amount remains the same.

Second, the species hasn't changed.

Third, its value hasn't decreased.

Can they really do a DNA test on that snake?

Sir, please contact that person for me.

Don't worry about the rest.

I'll try my best.

All right.

I'll wait for your good news.

- I'll get going. - Okay.

Hello, I met a really big client today.

What a coincidence. I have one too.

This one...

is not only rich,

but stupid too.

He said he'd trade me the exact same one.

Mine too.

Let's still use your place as a transfer point.

The snake will be delivered to you. He'll send someone to get them.

He'll still pay us.

Then we'll earn by doing nothing?

(Don't let your son marry and have kids. We love each other.)

(I've made plans with Chi Cheng. We're getting married next month.)

Mrs. Chi, Ms. Yue Yue is here.

- Mrs. Chi. - Yue Yue.

Come here. Have a seat.

Yue Yue, tell me the truth.

How is it going with you and Chi Cheng?

We've always been the same.

We're good.

You didn't argue, did you?

Mrs. Chi, did Chi Cheng say something to you?

No.

I haven't seen him since you came last time.

Mrs. Chi, don't worry.

We've always been good.

Everyone has their own temper.

There's always time to adjust to each other.

As long as we're together,

that's good.

You're so insightful, Yue Yue.

No wonder Chi Cheng likes you.

He has so many girls around him.

You're the first one he brought home.

You two should hurry up.

Pick a date and register your marriage.

Mrs. Chi, isn't it too soon?

No, it's not.

Anyway, sooner or later,

you'll be the daughter-in-law of the Chi family.

Go to his house tonight.

I'll call him later.

Everyone.

Let me introduce you.

This is my partner, Wu Suo Wei.

Mr. Wu.

Nice to meet you.

This is Mr. Wang from the Sky Story Design Company.

Mr. Wang.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

- Have a seat. - Okay.

This is Mr. Teng from Shuran Art Studio.

- Have a seat. - Mr. Teng.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

And this is Mr. Liu from Fantasy Space.

- Hello. Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

- Have a seat. - Okay.

You all know each other now. Let's cut to the chase.

Let's drink.

- Come on. Let's drink. - Come.

Young Master Chi.

Mr. Wu, this is our first time meeting.

Let me toast to you first.

- Okay. - Bottoms up.

Don't. Slow down.

From now on,

I'll need your help with a lot of things.

I'll need your help more in the future.

Have a seat.

Here, Mr. Wu.

Cheers.

Have a seat.

Drink slowly.

Watch me later. Don't be so nervous.

Let's eat.

Sit down.

What's wrong?

Are you drunk?

Why are you so nice to me?

(Yue Yue)

I need to take this call.

Right on time.

Don't worry, Er Bao.

I won't hurt you.

My girlfriend will be here soon.

I'll surely pay back...

what I owe you.

Chi Cheng.

Eat.

Why aren't you eating it, jerk?

Darn it.

If you don't eat it,

I'll still get someone to kill you.

This kind of rat poison can kill snakes too.

It's just not that toxic.

If snakes like Green-Eyed Monster eats it,

he'll just vomit and have diarrhea.

But if he takes it for a long time, he won't make it.

You can't save him even if you want to.

This person's quite bold, but stupid.

That person doesn't know Green-Eyed Monster's habits either.

Otherwise, how would they come up with such a stupid idea?

The person who poisoned him this way...

must be someone I have a lot of contact with.

Are you referring...

to Ms. Yue?

Whether it's her or not,

we'll know in a few days.

By the way,

we've spoken with the cafeteria chef who's the caretaker.

He has started with the replacement.

The snake replacement looks similar to the original one,

but her habits are very different.

As time goes by,

she'll surely be attacked by your snakes.

She might even get bitten to death.

Once there's a large number of dead snakes,

those chefs will surely report it.

The chairman will surely make a move.

Keep a close eye.

If the other side makes a move, report it to me immediately.

Don't worry.

After all this time, it's the day we've been waiting for.

When that day comes, I can't say we'll surely succeed,

but I'm sure nothing major will go wrong.

The snake will be rescued.

Let's go see our snake babies.

It's been a while.

I do miss them.

Come and take a look at this.

Is this the one?

There's more over there.

Still none of that?

Xiao Shuai.

Come and take a look. Is this the one?

Take a look.

This is it. It looks exactly the same.

Yes.

(Recommended)

Let me tell you.

For every snake Chi Cheng has,

Young Master Guo has a copy.

Shut up.

I...

Can you sell this snake to me?

Are you kidding me?

Would I take your money?

Li Wang.

Put this snake in a glass box...

and deliver it to his clinic.

Aren't you going to ask me...

why I'm buying this snake?

I don't need to know the reason for what I'm giving to you.

As long as you need it.

Thank you.

That was fast.

Do you doubt my capability?

Did he...

do anything to you?

Who am I? Can he take advantage of me?

You asked him for one and he just gave it to you?

Yes. No nonsense from him at all.

It seems like...

Guo Cheng Yu treats you quite well.

Not as good as Chi Cheng treats you.

He treats you much better than Chi Cheng treats me.

If I ask Chi Cheng for a snake,

he definitely won't give one to me...

no matter how much I like it.

That's not the same.

Guo Cheng Yu keeps snakes for fun.

But Chi Cheng treats them like his children.

You can't just give a child away.

Right.

The meaning is different.

To Guo Cheng Yu,

a snake is a snake.

But to Chi Cheng,

a snake is a person.

A longing that belongs only to him.

It's not something anyone can touch.

I smell jealousy.

Why don't we take a look at the snake first?

Tell me.

Such an expensive snake...

must be worth a lot.

Why don't we put in a fake one first?

She's going to get killed by Chi Cheng's snakes anyway.

We can't be penny-wise and pound-foolish.

If the snake watchers find out,

Chi Cheng will the one who suffers the loss.

I've already invested over 100,000 yuan in this project.

This small amount isn't a big deal.

Stingy Wu, just to make a man smile,

you're willing to spend so much money?

I'll treat it as venture capital.

After all,

a man who can make me spend money...

is surely worth it.

The plan is going so well.

Why aren't you happy?

I don't know.

I just feel annoyed.

Seeing that poison packet, you don't think Chi Cheng...

would indulge Yue Yue instead of being mad, right?

If he indulges her,

he's not Chi Cheng.

To Chi Cheng,

snakes are his top priority.

Do you know why you feel frustrated?

Actually, you don't care about Yue Yue anymore.

What you're conflicted about...

is Chi Cheng's attitude.

For the sake of those snakes,

he'd rather stay with Yue Yue.

That makes you upset.

As long as Chi Cheng says he's giving up on the snakes,

everything can be resolved.

But he won't.

That's why you can only do your best...

to get the snakes back...

while watching him be all lovey-dovey with someone else.

That's why you feel wronged and upset.

You can't accept that you're suffering...

because of his beloved snakes.

Am I right?

Just tell me if I'm right or not.

You're just so freaking smart, aren't you?

- Let go. - You're so freaking smart?

You disobedient student!

As long as you can kill that snake,

I don't care how you do it.

Can we poison it?

Did I pay you to come here...

to come up with such a stupid plan?

He doesn't eat food from outsiders.

Cut the crap.

Just kill it.

I want to see his corpse with my own eyes.

That's too risky.

We can't do it at this price.

You'll have to pay more.

I'll double it.

I really want to see you right now.

I'm not kidding.

The situation has changed.

The caretaker who replaced the snake is suddenly unreachable.

The cafeteria's chefs have been replaced too.

They must have found a problem with your snakes...

and they're thinking of a way to fix it.

Wait a moment.

Keep a close eye on them.

It's sooner than I thought.

We just replaced over 20 snakes...

and they already noticed something's wrong.

Okay, I got it.

- Tell me. - He's not even anxious about it.

When can we meet?

Mr. Wu.

I can't reach the vendor.

I went to his home and all his belongings were gone.

I think he's going to flee.

Something must be going on at the Storage Base.

I want to put more men to watch the door.

What do you think?

I'll leave it to you.

Don't worry about the money.

I'll surely pay you.

From here.

I'll try to lift it.

Hello?

I want to see you.

Where are you?

I'm on my way to the clinic.

Are you out of your mind?

Hello?

Hello?

Why aren't you saying anything?

I'm coming to see you too.

I'm already in front of your house.

Done.

Darn it. Green-Eyed Monster is in danger.

It's so big.

- Let's move it away. - Okay.

So Chi Cheng swapped the snake.

If that's the case, it'll be easier for me to put on a show.

Smash it.

You do it.

It's not locked.

What should we do?

Should we bring him out or kill him here?

Let's kill him here.

You do it.

Can you do anything?

- I'll do it. - What are you doing?

Who are you?

Save it.

Get lost if you want to live.

I'll kill you.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'm okay.

Darn it, the snake is poisonous.

Who told you to come here?

You won't talk?

Do you want to use my money to get yourselves treated...

or her money to buy coffins?

It's your choice.

It's your girlfriend.

She doesn't like you keeping snakes.

She asked us to kill it.

The three of you will all die.

Wake up.

Endure it.

You put that rat poison packet in there, didn't you?

What rat poison packet?

That rat poison...

won't hurt Green-Eyed Monster that much.

But over time,

it will take effect.

Whoever tried to poison this way...

either doesn't know Green-Eyed Monster...

or knows him too well.

I wasn't sure...

how much Yue Yue knew about Green-Eyed Monster.

But since she chose to have someone kill the snake,

this is the only answer.

When did you find out?

When you told me Green-Eyed Monster is in danger.

I knew you didn't poison him.

You did it to remind me to protect Green-Eyed Monster.

If I was a bit late today,

you're the one who would have been hurt.

Will you only be satisfied if you get stabbed and make me feel bad?

Can you keep your tricks...

and stop scheming?

Well...

I did it for Green-Eyed Monster.

I was really scared just now.

I'm fine now.

How dare you smile?

What's the matter?

Seeing you heartbroken...

makes me so happy.

Fine.

I'll let you see that all you want.

Can you not do this kind of thing again?

Whatever you do for me...

has nothing to do with me liking you or not.

Even if you don't do anything,

I'll still like you.

What if...

I lied to you...

and tricked you?

What will you do?

Then I'll like you even more.

Why?

Because you'll owe me.

Then it'll be justified to sleep with you.

You...

I've never wanted to sleep with anyone so much.

The way you express your affection...

is too straightforward.

We're both freaking men.

Should I say sweet-nothings to lie to you?

(Bonus Clip)

Let's eat.

Is your taste...

really okay?

Your floral shorts and clothes...

are hard to put into words.

Darn it.

You have no idea how cost-effective and how comfortable they are.

Besides, making art is expensive.

I won't feel bad only when I spend the client's money.

The higher my client's budget, the better my taste.
