(Episode 9, Snakes Aren't More Important Than People)

- Hello? - Chairman.

There's trouble at the snake den.

Dozens of snakes were bitten to death.

How did they get bitten to death?

Maybe they didn't get along well.

There are too many snake breeds being kept together.

Without professional caretakers,

snakes are prone to issues.

Why don't we move them somewhere else?

I'll get someone to take them out tomorrow.

Send a few more people there.

Transport the snakes out before dawn.

Remember to keep it quiet.

What's this?

Look.

Doesn't it look like you?

It looks exactly like you.

How childish.

No, it looks like you.

Look.

It looks just like you.

Stop playing with it.

It's 11pm.

Let's go to bed.

Okay.

Let's sleep.

Let's go to bed.

Actually, I quite like you.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Are you going to sleep?

If not, I'll leave.

Don't go.

I'll sleep.

I'll sleep.

It's okay.

I need to take this call.

Go back to sleep.

- Hello? - Mr. Chi, can you talk now?

Go ahead.

We have a situation.

A white van entered the base.

The van is sealed. A lot of people were in it.

I think this vehicle went in to take the snakes out.

I'm guarding with my men by the roadside now.

We'll make a move as soon as the vehicle gets here.

Okay.

I'll be right there.

- Be careful. - Okay.

Da Bao.

You've been aggrieved for so long.

When I get the snakes back,

I won't let you suffer anymore.

Why is he in such a hurry to leave?

- Hello? - Wu.

A white van is entering the Storage Base.

We suspect it's taking the snakes out.

Should we take action?

No rush.

- I'll be right there. - Okay.

That's the vehicle. Stop him.

I didn't tell so many people to come.

Where did they come from?

Get them!

You've been staying put, right?

Yes.

Okay. When Guo Cheng Yu comes, while they're fighting,

we'll get a huge advantage.

He's already here.

They're fighting. Don't you see?

Guo Cheng Yu is here.

Darn it, Chi Cheng is here too.

This is my first time falling for a guy.

- Why are you here? - To watch the show.

Darn you!

Let's take the snakes!

- Hurry, move them. - Hurry up!

Here.

Li Wang, what are you doing?

- Taking the snakes, of course. - Stay the heck out of this.

How dare you hit me?

Young Master Chi.

Yellow Dragon.

Let's go home.

Keep an eye out first. Let's go, guys.

Take the snakes with me!

Come on, guys. Let's go!

Wait for me.

- Hurry up. Take these. - Be careful.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Hurry.

Why is he here?

Hurry.

Da Bao!

Don't move around!

- Da Bao. - Wu Suo Wei.

Don't move.

Yellow Dragon.

Listen to me.

Be good.

Let go.

Let go.

Let go.

Good boy.

Very good.

Yellow Dragon.

Da Wei!

Chi Cheng! Kill the snake!

Yellow Dragon is meaningful to Chi Cheng.

You can't kill it.

Chi...

likes...

snakes.

I'm the Yellow Dragon.

Green-Eyed Monster is you.

Why am I Green-Eyed Monster?

You like to get jealous.

Chi Cheng!

What are you still hesitating about?

Who's more important, him or the snake?

Da Bao.

Da Bao.

Hang in there.

I'll take you to the hospital now.

Da Wei.

- Stop it. - Da Wei!

Hang in there.

Da Bao!

(Under Emergency Treatment)

I'll take care...

of Yellow Dragon's body for you.

Do whatever you want.

You've really changed.

Aren't you glad?

I...

(Emergency Treatment Area, Unauthorized Personnel Keep Out)

Doctor, how is he?

The patient is out of danger.

But we still need to observe him for a while.

Okay. Thank you, doctor.

I'll drive you home first.

Come back tomorrow morning.

It's okay.

I want to stay here.

I'll stay with him by myself.

No.

I want to be the first person Da Wei sees when he wakes up.

Then I can't let you stay here, all the more.

- Let's go. - Guo Cheng Yu.

What are you doing?

Young Master Guo.

How's Jiang Xiao Shuai?

He's asleep.

From what I saw today,

it seems like Chi Cheng has fallen for him.

But that's a good thing.

It's been six years. It's time to move on.

With his new love,

I don't think he'll steal people you like anymore.

You can boldly have a relationship now.

I've never cared...

about him stealing my guys.

It was just a game.

All these years,

he hasn't been happy.

I was just playing along with him.

Then Jiang Xiao Shuai is part of your game too.

Since Chi Cheng won't steal him anymore,

you don't need...

to hang onto the stubborn Jiang Xiao Shuai anymore.

You're just causing yourself trouble anyway.

Let's go.

How is he?

I'm just waiting for him to wake up.

Did you really stay up all night?

That snake...

was quite important to you, right?

I thought you two were just fooling around.

Did he tell you we were just fooling around?

No. He's very serious about you.

Very serious.

Who's Wu Suo Wei's family?

- I am. - Come with me.

Why aren't they here yet?

Is the snake dead or not?

Is the snake dead?

Ms. Yue.

You shouldn't have spent so much money.

What do you mean?

I don't understand what you're saying.

You don't understand?

Young Master Chi knows all the tricks...

you pulled behind his back.

Young Master Chi asked me to inform you...

that it's over between you two!

Xiao Gang!

This is a misunderstanding. I can explain.

Da Wei.

Xiao Shuai.

You're awake.

How do you feel?

Do you want some water?

Where's the merchant?

Did you get...

my money back?

Don't worry.

He was caught yesterday.

I asked around.

Your direct and indirect losses...

are 200,000 yuan.

Two hundred thousand yuan?

There's also compensation.

If you add it all up,

kid,

you'll make a fortune.

It's so-so.

Where's Chi Cheng?

He's out there listening to the doctor's instructions.

Adversity allows one to see true feelings indeed.

Mr. Macho watched over you all day and night.

And for your sake,

he killed his beloved snake for you.

You have to make it up to him.

Well...

His snake hurt me first.

Why should I make it up to him?

Just drink your water.

Xiao Shuai.

With you around, I feel so reassured.

Thank you.

Wei Wei.

You're awake.

I'm awake.

Does your neck still hurt?

My neck doesn't hurt.

But my chest hurts.

How can it not hurt when you have broken bones?

I'm sorry.

What are you sorry for?

You didn't hurt me.

If I killed it earlier,

you wouldn't have gotten hurt so badly.

He was your beloved pet, after all.

Wei Wei.

I promise.

In the future, I won't let you get hurt again.

Will there be a future for us?

Because of this,

he said he wanted to break up with me.

Msr. Chi.

Actually, I'm quite afraid of snakes.

But to accommodate Chi Cheng, I didn't dare to say it.

I used to have dogs and cats too.

I know how it feels when a pet dies.

But I had no choice.

Last time, on the business trip with him,

when he went to answer a call that night,

the snake and I were the only ones left in the room.

I don't know how I provoked it.

It jumped on me and bit me.

Mrs. Chi.

It hurts.

I understand you, Yue Yue.

I'm afraid of snakes too.

When I see that thing,

I get goosebumps all over.

Because of that,

I don't dare to visit him.

Chi Cheng has never been aggrieved since he was little.

But because of those snakes,

he lives in that crappy basement.

Mrs. Chi, I'm fine now.

I feel much better after talking to you.

Please don't tell Chi Cheng that I came to see you.

I don't want him to think I'm a gossip.

I should still talk to him.

Mrs. Chi.

Don't do that.

It was my fault.

Please don't fight with Chi Cheng because of me.

I'll make sure you get an explanation.

You're so nice, Mrs. Chi.

All right.

Let me take a look. Gosh.

Does it still hurt?

Jia Li.

I heard you guys broke up.

Don't use your ties with us for personal gain anymore.

Chi Cheng and I are just having an argument.

I'll visit Mrs. Chi often from now on.

She treats me like her own daughter,

so you're my big sister.

You're still putting on an act.

Fine.

Keep acting then.

Don't show your true colors.

This tea is good.

Here, raise your hand.

It's okay.

- It's done. - Mr. Chi.

The chairman is here.

Go do what you have to do.

I have nothing to do.

Tell him I'm not here.

He saw your car.

Tell him you drove it here.

My car is parked next to yours.

Can't you see I'm busy?

The chairman has been here twice.

How's your friend?

Not too bad.

You can keep the snakes.

You can quit your job too.

But don't lose my daughter-in-law, okay?

You can reconcile with Yue Yue...

or find another one.

Anyway, you must have a woman around you.

You're always hanging out with a bunch of punks.

Is that appropriate?

You lost over 50 of my snakes.

I lost one of your daughters-in-law.

It's not too much, isn't it?

Don't play games with me.

Save it.

Fine.

Let's talk about something more practical.

Give me back those 50 snakes...

and I'll give you back your daughter-in-law.

I won't be able to get the snakes back.

I can give you money.

Why don't I give you money?

You...

Are you trying to piss me off?

Let me tell you.

It's impossible for me to reconcile with Yue Yue.

You...

By the way,

one more thing.

I really don't want to work for the group anymore.

I'm going to start a business with a friend...

and open an art installation company.

An art company?

That doesn't sound reliable at all.

Who knows if you'll continue to fool around...

under the guise of opening a company?

Just wait and see.

I bought some snacks. Take them up to him.

I'm afraid he won't like the hospital's nutritional meal.

What are you thinking about?

I've been thinking.

Ms. Yue doesn't like Green-Eyed Monster.

Why didn't she try to kill it earlier?

You've been with her for so long and Mrs. Chi didn't try...

to bring you two together.

But why is she in such a hurry to bring you two together lately?

These two things are so unusual.

And they happened one after another.

Don't you think there's a mastermind behind this?

I checked our snakes too.

Excluding the 20 that we replaced,

there were more snakes replaced by someone else.

Don't you think the timing...

of Wu Suo Wei's appearance is too coincidental each time?

- Wu... - Don't you think...

you're too talkative today?

Gang Zi.

You're not the only one with a brain.

Just keep these things to yourself. You don't have to say it out loud.

Are you afraid others won't understand it?

Then...

I know very well...

what his motive is.

No, you already...

That's enough.

Go now.

I'll get going.

You know it all.

You need brains to love.

He's lovesick.

At this point in the game,

Chi Cheng will definitely break up with Yue Yue.

Next,

it's time for Chi Cheng's mom...

to see Yue Yue's true colors.

Time to eat.

Someone's meal of love.

Xiao Gang.

Yes?

Please do me a favor.

This might be a bit wicked.

Will you help me?

Tell me what it is first.

Come here.

Come here.

Has Yue Yue been pestering Chi Cheng lately?

She keeps calling Young Master Chi.

If he doesn't pick up, she calls me.

I'm sick of it.

Do you think she's really repentant...

for hiring people to kill Green-Eyed Monster?

That's hard to say.

Why don't we...

let Chi Cheng's family be the judge?

What do you mean?

When Yue Yue comes to see you again,

give her Chi Cheng's card.

If Yue Yue is truly repentant,

she won't take the money.

But if she feels it's justified to use Chi Cheng's money...

like she used to,

find a way to let Chi Cheng's mom know about this...

to let her see Yue Yue's true colors.

Chi Cheng will be yours sooner or later.

Gang Zi.

I have my reasons for doing that to the snake.

Can you let me see Chi Cheng again?

Ms. Yue.

This...

is inappropriate.

I've already said everything I needed to say.

This is Young Master Chi's.

I've put in so many emotions...

and suffered so much.

I deserve this money.

Anyway, Chi Cheng's mom is still on my side.

After pretending to be pitiful,

she softened up.

I don't believe Chi Cheng can win against his mom.

I'll be the daughter-in-law of the Chi family sooner or later.

Card payment.

Okay.

Here you go.

Take it. Let's go to the next one.

Yue Yue, where did you get so much money?

It's from my ex-boyfriend. It's a waste not to spend it.

It's so nice to have a rich ex-boyfriend.

Here you go.

Ms. Jia Li.

There's a good French restaurant here.

I'll take you there later.

Okay.

It's Yue Yue.

- Let's buy from each store. - Okay.

Didn't she say she was just an office worker?

To buy a scarf for her future mother-in-law,

didn't she need to pinch pennies?

Gang Zi, investigate Yue Yue's spending records in this mall.

I want to see where all this money is coming from.

All right.

This is your down-to-earth daughter-in-law-to-be.

She spent over 336,000 yuan a day.

Do you know whose money she spent?

Wipe your presbyopic eyes clearly and take a good look.

The main card belongs to your son.

She already broke up with Chi Cheng a long time ago.

How dare she use his money this way?

When they were together, she must have lived in luxury.

And this scarf.

She said she bought it for you with half a month's salary.

Mom.

She hasn't worked for months. How can she get a salary?

It's all your son's money.

You must be hungry.

Yes.

Don't even think about it.

Why not?

Eat that.

There's meat in here too.

And it's high-quality protein.

It's more nutritious than mine.

I don't want to eat this.

I want to eat yours.

You can't eat this.

It's spicy.

Your wound just healed.

You need to be careful.

You know I can't eat it, but you still bought it.

I want to make you crave it.

What's wrong with that?

Here.

Just a small bite.

Okay.

No. 6, It's time to change your dressing.

Come on, lift your butt.

- Help him. - Okay.

I'll do it.

Is this okay, doctor?

That's fine too. Come on.

Doctor, be gentle.

It's okay.

It's fine.

Endure it a bit.

Almost done.

- It's done. - It's done.

Mrs. Chi, I'm here to visit you again.

I'm so bored at home alone.

You don't think I'm annoying, do you?

Yue Yue, you and Chi Cheng already broke up.

We should stay away from each other.

Mrs. Chi.

What's wrong?

And this scarf.

Take it back too.

I can't accept such an expensive gift.

- Mrs. Chi. - Ms. Wang.

- Mrs. Chi. - See her out.

Ms. Yue, this way, please.

This way, please.

(Open for business)

Dr. Xiao Shuai.

- I'm leaving. Bye. - Bye.

Thank you for today, Dr. Xiao Shuai.

It's okay.

- Thank you. - Don't get into a fight again.

- Get some rest when you get home. - Okay.

- Thank you. - Bye.

It's time for a massage.

How long has it been since he came here?

(Guo Cheng Yu)

That makes sense.

He must have found someone new.

That's good too.

From now on,

I'll have more peace and quiet.
