[The Inner Eye] [EP05]

[Inpatient Building]

Let me talk

to her alone.

You're 21, right?

By the age of 21,

I'd started

to intern at a law firm.

My mentor educated me

if someone bullies me,

find a way

to fight back,

in a good way.

Revenge for revenge,

without mercy.

If

this thing hadn't happened,

I would be

interning next year.

But...

He didn't bully me.

He just didn't

love me anymore.

This is a copy

of your operation note.

Take a look.

[Hysterectomy Patient: Bai Yaqing]

She...

She performed it on me?

Yes.

But I'm not sure if Bai Yaqing

had known your relationship

with her husband

by the time of the operation,

nor do I know

if it was a coincidence

or arranged on purpose.

Your brother thinks

there is a possibility

of negligence by both

the hospital and the doctor in charge.

So,

he hopes you will entrust a lawyer

to hold them accountable.

Let me warn you:

If the patient suspects medics

conduct deliberate injury

or implement a wrong treatment

due to personal grudges,

he or she should immediately

call the police.

Of course,

it totally depends on you.

You have my number.

I'll see you soon.

Ms. Tang,

whether or not

I'll file a lawsuit

over the case,

I know that

you must be a good lawyer.

Ms. Tang, what did she say?

You know your sister

better than I do.

Could you please persuade her?

Since she was a girl,

she only cried after being bullied.

Every time, I had to...

Your sister is 21 years old.

She's an adult.

She has the right to make any decision

for herself.

By the way,

if it were not for

my workaholic apprentice's

interest in the case,

I wouldn't be here at all.

Come to me

when you and your sister

come to an agreement.

Liu Guizhong.

Please, don't...

Sir...

How dare you ignore my call?

I have to look for you in person.

Well, Sir...

I... I...

Sir...

Is she your girlfriend?

Introduce her to me.

No.

An attorney.

She's my attorney, Sir.

Sir,

if you have any problem,

please tell it to my attorney.

Oh, you are his lawyer.

First, let me clarify:

We are not mobs.

We are a legit borrowing company,

legally licensed.

It's our routine

to visit our clients.

Is there any problem?

I am a lawyer,

but I'm not

Mr. Liu's lawyer.

It's not my duty

to intervene in your business.

But I need to warn you:

no matter what you want to do,

don't disturb others,

or I'll call the police.

Attorney Tang.

Well...

Are you running away?

Please don't!

Sir, Sir, Sir...

I don't have any money now,

but I'll get it in a few days.

Fine.

Save your nonsense.

Is the girl in the ward

your sister, Liu Manli?

From now on,

I'll visit her every day.

My two colleagues

will visit your parents

in person every day.

Don't worry.

Just as that lawyer said:

Nonviolent, and nonthreatening.

You will

only get our care and regards.

As for the deadline to pay back,

it depends on you.

Sir,

I'll definitely find a way

to pay you back.

Wish Mr. Liu

a roaring trade

and a good wealth.

Let's go!

That's all.

Thank you, Doctor Qin.

Get enough rest.

Okay, okay.

You seem very busy!

Why are you here?

To see a doctor,

for being affected by poverty.

You are at a hospital.

Don't be too greedy!

Haven't I given you

fifty thousand yuan the other day?

Do you want to get away with it

with such a small amount of money?

What are you dreaming of?

Just tell me.

How much do you want?

Ten million yuan.

Ten million yuan?

Are you crazy?

You are blackmailing me!

It's a crime of extortion!

Don't you know?

So you don't want to

take your responsibility!

Please get out of here

right now!

Patients are waiting in a queue.

Doctor Qin,

watch this.

Hypocrite!

Qin Ming, a surgical expert at Huamu Hospital,

cheated on his wife with a college student

and resulted in her ectopic pregnancy

and hemorrhage!

There's more than that.

I'll send it to you later.

I...

Think it over, Doctor Qin.

If the video is posted online,

you,

and the hospital,

will be famous.

Even if your wife

will forgive you,

how about your leader?

Will you have any chance

to treat any patient here?

By the way,

does your wife know what you did?

I'll give you two days.

If you don't give me any response

after two days,

I'll gently press

the send button,

and you, Doctor Qin,

will be famous.

Think it over.

Hypocrite!

Qin Ming, a surgical expert at Huamu Hospital,

cheated on his wife with a college student

and resulted in her ectopic pregnancy

and hemorrhage!

Is Xixi asleep?

Don't speak my daughter's name!

You're disgusting!

He wants ten million yuan,

or he'll send the video out!

If it's posted online,

I'll be done!

Do you mean

they set you up

to cheat you to cheat on me?

It's her brother!

Manli would never...

Manli?

Qin Ming,

you can betray our marriage,

but do you still remember

you have a daughter?

When you were

fooling around with that woman,

did you ever think

if your affair

was really leaked out,

verbal abuses from the society

will affect your daughter's whole life?

Look at me!

Say something!

I was wrong, dear.

It's my fault.

I did a bad thing to you.

It's my fault.

If you want a divorce,

I'll leave everything to you.

The house and our daughter are yours.

I'm sorry, my dear.

A divorce?

So that you can be

with your Manli legally?

Fat chance!

I won't allow you to take anything

from my daughter that belongs to her.

Besides,

there's one more thing.

I didn't tell you

I performed the hysterectomy

on Liu Manli,

and I saw you

standing out of the operating theatre

at Baohai Hospital.

Qin Ming,

what a coward you are!

How could you

abandon a heavily bleeding woman

in the operating theatre

and run away?

You have no balls!

So...

you already knew it at that time.

Then you

used that woman

to insult your wife.

Now,

you are using your stare

to insult my professional ethics

as a doctor.

However,

I consider it

a redemption for your

and the woman's fault

by saving

the woman's life.

Since we are still married,

I'm kind of forced to pay him

ten million yuan with you.

But I won't allow anyone

to ruin my life

with Xixi.

As for this thing,

I'll face it with you.

[Caller ID: Liu Guizhong]

What should I do?

Send him a message.

Ask him the quantity of money,

and the way to transfer.

Before 24:00,

give me five hundred thousand yuan,

or I'll post the video online.

Let's bargain with him,

and transfer it to him.

I've already given him fifty thousand yuan.

You transferred the money

to the investment APP,

so he has an excuse to argue

that you voluntarily engaged in

the online investment project,

far away from extortion.

So,

I should transfer the money to him

under his threat,

and keep the transfer record.

In this way,

we can get

his proof of crime,

right?

I've consulted with my lawyer.

Do as I've told you.

Two Pork Cutlet Noodles, small portion.

Got it!

Two Pork Cutlet Noodles!

A hundred thousand yuan is all I have.

It's all yours.

Can you delete the video now?

Thanks a lot, Doctor Qin.

It's not enough.

Find a way to get more money.

For your own reputation.

You have such a pretty girl.

Do you want her to know

her father is a bad guy?

Sir,

add two extra eggs!

Hello,

is Liu Guizhong here?

Are you looking for my brother?

Yes, we are the police.

We're here for an investigation.

Manli, Manli!

I've got you something

nutritious...

Are you Liu Guizhong?

Guizhong,

did you go to him?

We are the police.

Someone called us

that you're suspected of extortion.

You should go with us.

You have the right to choose your defender.

Let's go!

Guizhong,

Guizhong, what's going on?

I've told you

he's a bastard!

You cannot trust him!

He called the police after giving me money!

Guizhong!

Make a call!

Call your lawyer

to save me!

Hurry up! Manli!

Okay!

How's your recovery?

Doctor Chen in charge of you

is very experienced.

Where is Qin Ming?

Severe anemia.

It takes a long time to

rest and recover.

If you don't rest well,

you won't be healthy any more.

What a pale look!

You must

have not taken a good rest lately.

You should

cherish yourself.

I'm asking you: where is Qin Ming?

He won't see you any more.

Forget about him.

Could you please let me see him?

You...

I won't sue you

for removing my uterus.

Here's the thing:

from the time when I

held the scalpel,

I have never done anything

against my professional ethics.

You can pursue this matter and investigate it,

with all records kept.

You will know what on earth I did

during that surgery.

I saved your life,

whose owner

stole my husband.

Why did you save my life?

I would rather

you hadn't saved me.

You've lost your uterus

and harmed your brother.

Isn't it enough?

You! It's you!

You called the police!

He used your uterus

to blackmail us ten million yuan.

It's a crime of extortion.

Shouldn't I call the police?

Please, don't!

You can come to me,

but not my brother.

Set him free!

I'm kneeling to you.

I'm begging you!

I give you my guarantee.

From...

From now on,

my brother will never cause you trouble!

As for the money,

we... we will

pay you back!

I'm begging you!

I'm begging you, Doctor Bai!

Please set him free!

I'm begging you!

When you were fooling around with my husband,

it was like a scalpel

cutting deeply

into my heart.

Now,

I'm just

giving the scalpel

to you in the way you gave it to me.

Silly girl!

Each one of us

should pay off the debt

for what we owed.

My true love was trampled by him.

All I wanted to do

was to let him pay off the debt.

Attorney Tang,

I want to put it to an end.

Help me.

Okay?

Of course, she should

pay off the debt

for what she owed.

Stand up.

If Ms. Liu

was also cheated by Qin Ming,

the man who cheated her

should also pay off the debt.

You're not that silly.

With your attorney on site,

let me show you the bills

you should pay.

In the last two years,

my husband, Qin Ming,

has transferred money

to Ms. Liu Manli

with a total of 406,800 yuan,

and gave her some gifts.

These receipts are part of it.

Ma'am, please

tell Ms. Liu,

as his legitimate wife,

do I have the right to

recover our common properties

as a spouse?

Ms. Liu,

return the properties soon,

and I'll reconsider

if I'll waive my right to sue your brother

for his crime of extortion.

If not,

my attorney

will meet you again.

Attorney Tang,

what should I do?

What should my brother do?

Help me! Save me!

Legally speaking,

as Qin Ming's wife,

Bai Yaqing has the right

to recover the money from you.

But,

I don't have enough money.

There's no way out.

If you need me

as your attorney

to take care of the case

of you and your brother,

you should

sign an

Attorney Representation Agreement.

I'm not plundering your burning house,

so think clearly before you answer.

Attorney Tang,

I want you to be my lawyer.

Set my brother free, will you?

[Chen Jun Law Firm]

Attorney Tang, are you taking the case

of Liu Guizhong's suspect of extortion,

and Liu Manli's lawsuit

on medical liability dispute?

What's the problem?

Lin Xiaoyun,

what's your opinion

on the case?

Me?

Yes, you.

Speak it out loud.

Liu Guizhong engaged in extortion.

Qin Ming obtained evidence

and responded to the lawsuit

under the guidance of an attorney.

They took actions earlier than us.

As for the mental and physical damages

suffered by Liu Manli,

we need more evidence.

Defending for a home wrecker,

our law firm bears the pressure of public opinion.

The loss outweighs the gain.

Attorney Dai, what's your opinion?

The value of the subject matter is not high.

If we have to take over the case,

we can hand it over

to a young attorney in our firm.

Director Kang,

you don't need to ask others.

Just tell me

your opinion.

Attorney Tang,

there's nothing wrong

to choose the case

as you like,

but

you should

give us a reason.

None of you

agree with me taking the case,

right?

Director Kang asks me

to give you a reason.

To be honest,

I had none before,

but I have one now.

I take on the case because you disagree,

and that's my reason.

You know,

I'm wild,

and rebellious.

Since Attorney Tang chooses to

take on the case,

I believe

she will win the lawsuit.

The principle of our law firm:

Choose independently,

think independently,

take charge independently,

and that's the standard answer.

Meeting dismissed.

[Outpatient Building of Shenzhen Baohai Hospital]

Liu Manli has signed the

Attorney Representation Agreement.

I know.

Attorney Tang,

did you hear

what Director Kang said?

I don't believe a single word

from that old fox.

Don't take it seriously.

All I need

is his promise.

Find out the record

of the ambulance that day.

I'll talk with the doctor

on duty that day.

Okay.

When the medics on the ambulance

arrived at the apartment complex,

Qin Ming's call hadn't been

put through for a long time,

resulting in

the delay in sending her to the hospital.

He even ran away at that critical moment

when a family member's signature was required

for the surgery.

It was deliberate.

He was scared to sign,

afraid it would create a paper trail.

But it's not clear

whether he knew at that time

that the doctor who performed the surgery

was his wife Bai Yaqing.

I've checked Bai Yaqing's

full surgery notes.

The rescue was timely and effective,

without any issues.

In fact, if she hadn't decided to

perform a hysterectomy

to stop the bleeding then,

Liu Manli probably

wouldn't have made it.

In a way,

Bai Yaqing

was her lifesaver.

But as for Qin Ming...

The doctor on duty said that

in cases of heavy bleeding

early in pregnancy,

the influence of external factors cannot be ruled out.

Apart from physical force,

medication is another possibility.

Medication?

How do I sue him?

First of all, your brother

is under suspicion for extortion.

You should brace yourself for that.

Separately, you can sue Qin Ming.

He was married when he was with you,

which led to your ectopic pregnancy.

Moreover,

when you sent for emergency care,

he deliberately did not answer his phone.

That made you

miss the golden hour for treatment,

and inflicted tremendous harm on you.

But legally, these are two separate cases.

No. He didn't do it on purpose.

It took only eighteen minutes

from the time he called

the ambulance

until it arrived at the housing estate..

But Qin Ming didn't provide

the exact address.

And during this period,

his phone

was out of reach

for a solid fifteen minutes.

That's why you missed the

golden hour for treatment,

resulting in

an unstoppable

hemorrhage.

During this process,

Qin Ming bears responsibility.

No. But he...

The situation must have been

too critical,

and he was too frantic

to think straight.

Qin Ming is a doctor.

Do you really think he didn't know

what to do?

Bai Yaqing

removed my uterus.

Did Qin Ming know about it?

Before your surgery,

the doctors asked Qin Ming

to sign the consent.

But for reasons unknown,

he left the hospital alone,

leaving you behind.

Bai Yaqing is a

highly professional doctor.

There's a clear record of

every treatment she gave you.

She saved your life.

So,

based on the current evidence,

what cost you lost your uterus

wasn't the doctor who saved you,

but that missed golden hour

for treatment.

Do you see

what I mean?

I do believe you.

It's just...

I can't believe Qin Ming would...

You said before

that Qin Ming asked you

get an abortion.

But because

I was determined

to keep the baby,

he was so good to me

afterwards.

Back then,

I even thought...

I even thought he would marry me.

Do you remember what you ate

and did on the day

of the incident?

During that time,

he made time whenever

he could to come,

make sure I took my pills,

and simmer soup for me.

It was chicken soup that day.

I had two bowls.

I felt a bit unwell afterwards,

so he helped me

to bed.

He said it was

normal for early pregnancy

and that I'd be fine

after some rest.

So when did you

feel that something was wrong?

About one or two AM.

I began bleeding abruptly.

He told me it was

a sign of threatened abortion.

His first thought was to

drive me to the hospital.

but

I was in such

bad shape

that he called an ambulance.

Would you mind

if we had a look in your house?

Careful.

This is

where Qin Ming and I live.

Maybe you should sit down

and rest for a while.

The doctor said that

you need a good rest.

Can we just look around?

What do you

want to find?

Some evidence,

related to Qin Ming.

He rented

this place to me.

Your medicine

and vitamins,

where did you usually keep them?

Right in this drawer.

Can I take a look?

No problem.

Everything in this house,

we decorated it

all together.

Back then,

we wondered

what our dream home would be like.

This was his gift as well.

He said it could keep me company

in his absence.

Come on. Wake up!

The money Qin Ming spent on you

came from his and Bai Yaqing's

joint assets.

You'll have to return it all.

Were all these vitamins and supplements

from Qin Ming?

Yes,

all from him.

Said it was

good for the pregnancy.

He always had the vitamins ready

for me to take.

So, what specific types

were you taking?

Do you recall?

No. I'm not sure.

Miss Tang,

look at this.

I found it behind the trash can.

I've photographed it.

Take a look at this medication.

Is this what you usually take?

No, what I take daily are just

vitamins and calcium supplements.

I've never seen this before.

What is this?

What this is,

we don't know either.

Bag up all the vitamins

and supplements for lab testing.

Got it.

Attorney Tang,

Qin Ming wouldn't hurt me, would he?

The lab report

will show his intent.

You present yourself

as an

impenetrable shield,

always standing

in front of your husband.

Attorney Tang, you see yourself

as Liu Manli's lance,

and you can win this war for her?

You've got that wrong.

The role of a lawyer

is like a bridge.

My job is to get my client

safely across

this rough river.

The current's strong.

It won't be an easy crossing.

How much is she

even paying you?

I've looked into it.

You're a star attorney at Chen Jun Law Firm.

So why are you breaking your back

for a mistress's case?

What's in it for you?

I just want to help a woman

who lost her uterus

seek justice.

I deserve all of this.

She got what she deserved.

The price of this love

was far too high.

This is all my fault.

But my brother...

He was only trying to

protect me.

He just wanted to

get justice for me.

Justice?

How dare that homewrecker

talk to me about justice?

And you, a top-tier attorney.

How could you possibly take on a case

for a homewrecker?

She made mistakes, yes.

Her mistake was failing to see a scumbag

for who he really was.

Her mistake was being love-blind

and falling into a honey trap.

Her mistake was falling in love

with the wrong man.

That wasn't love.

It was an affair.

But

this does not entitle anyone

to inflict

deliberate harm upon her.

The law will equally protect

everyone

who has been illegally harmed,

regardless of who they are.

Misoprostol.

A prescription abortion drug.

Found in Liu Manli's home.

I trust you

grasp the implication.

She would never

consent to taking this.

During that period, Qin Ming was always

at Liu Manli's home—

making soup for her and giving her pills.

It's highly likely that

he mixed this drug in

when giving Liu Manli

her vitamins.

If the police investigate

and confirm that

he obtained the drug illegally,

and then used it illegally to

terminate the pregnancy,

then the person truly responsible for

Liu Manli losing her uterus

is him.

Attorney Tang,

can you persuade Liu Manli to

accept a settlement before the lawsuit?

If money

can change all this,

I'm willing to settle with money.

As long as she agrees

not to pursue legal action against Qin Ming.

Compensation?

Do they think money

can solve everything?

How much money can

buy back the uterus I lost?

How much money can

buy back the dignity I lost?

Qin Ming has destroyed

not just Liu Manli's life,

but mine

and my daughter's as well.

Attorney Tang,

my daughter...

she cannot have a father

in prison.

She needs a father

who is

publicly respectable,

even if we divorce.

One million yuan.

The pregnancy termination procedure

caused severe physical harm

to my client.

Her recovery and rehabilitation

will require funds.

Furthermore,

she plans to study abroad,

which means additional costs

for living and tuition.

Two million yuan.

Three million yuan.

If you agree to this amount,

I am willing to approach my client

to gauge her acceptance.

I never thought about

accepting compensation.

You were right, Attorney Tang.

I should return those assets.

That's a wise decision.

If you were me,

would you choose

to sue or to forgive?

We are different.

I don't let love blind me

and lose my reason.

Nor do I wallow in indecision

and make things worse.

Liu Manli,

you are already eighteen.

You are an adult now.

The road ahead

only gets harder.

You must pick up the shattered pieces

of your former self,

one by one,

and put yourself back together.

You have to stand up.

You have to face

your even harder future

with all your

strength and courage.

You're right.

Money can't undo

the harm you've suffered.

But this money

allows you,

for a period of time,

to focus on healing

and to live without financial worries.

You could also use it

to resume

your unfinished studies,

or use it

to travel further

and explore the world

on your own terms.

The choice is yours.

This is the best settlement

I can obtain for you

before we file a lawsuit.

If I grant criminal leniency,

does that mean

he'll get away with

what he did to me?

You can choose to

report it to the police

or file

an incidental civil lawsuit.

But the compensation amount

may likely be less favorable,

possibly under three million.

Can you accept that?

In the end,

it's your choice whether

we take this to court or not.

I checked with the university.

They've kept

your enrollment active.

The door is open

if you decide to

go back.

I'm afraid I won't

be able to come back.

Come on.

Me?

Give it a try.

Manli,

keep your eyes on your goal,

and your mind focused

only on it.

Ignore all distractions.

Once more try.

Good job.

Attorney Tang,

if...

if I insist on suing him,

can you help me

win this case?

I won't promise a win.

But I promise you this:

I'll give it my all to

get you the best possible outcome.

Good morning. Director Bai.

Have a seat.

Attorney Tang.

I'm here to consult you

regarding my divorce agreement

and the division of assets.

May I ask,

why you chose our firm?

The city has plenty of capable attorneys.

But

who truly respects

a client's will

and always

seems to win,

you're the only one I know.

That's generous.

Miss Tang.

I want you to meet

Attorney Lin Xiaoyun.

She will be responsible for

assisting you with drafting the divorce agreement

and handling subsequent related work.

If you have any questions,

I'm also here to support you fully.

Director Bai.

You have

my full support.

I believe in you.

I demand that Qin Ming

get nothing.

The court finds Qin Ming

guilty of intentional injury

for causing physical harm

by administering drugs without consent.

Given the victim Liu Manli's

letter of leniency,

Qin Ming was sentenced to

five years of imprisonment

and ordered to pay

compensation of RMB 800,000.

Liu Guizhong,

convicted of extortion.

With returned illicit funds

and the victim's leniency,

sentenced to two years.

[Academy of Fine Arts Works Exhibition of 2024 Graduation]

Bai Yaqing

has divorced Qin Ming,

He left with nothing.

No surprise.

But it has nothing to

do with me anymore.

If I had never met him,

my work would likely

be here too.

The price of my choice.

It takes going through it

to get it.

I believe your future creations

will carry even greater power.

The truth is,

you have

many choices in life.

Thank you.

Attorney Tang.

I never expected

you could secure me

an 800,000 yuan settlement.

I have a question for you.

If you could choose again,

would you take

the 800,000 yuan

or choose to have never met Qin Ming

at all?

Never met him at all.

See?

You can make a choice now.

That's real progress.

Attorney Tang,

I can't thank you enough.

All these changes in me

are because of you.

You made me understand that

a person needs courage,

self-belief,

and independence.

I used to be

so...

so naive,

so easily swayed,

and so trusting.

But rest assured,

I won't

be that foolish ever again.

Back in university,

my psychology professor

once had us

do a training exercise.

When we covered our eyes

and no longer used them

to see the world,

but instead observed it with our hearts

and judged it with our minds,

the world could be richer

could be richer

and more real than

what our naked eyes saw.

What's done is done.

An ending is a new beginning.

Congratulations.

The nightmare is over.

Attorney Tang,

you have a delivery.

Could you pass me the scissors, please?

Okay.

It's very beautiful.

When the compensation turned into plane tickets

and brushes,

the empathy I once saw

as weakness

proved to be

the soil where justice grows.

And in the soul of

the blindfolded girl on the canvas,

it flowered into a field of color.

Does this look straight, Miss Tang?

Yes, it's good.

It's truly unexpected

that she managed to

get this result

from a case like this.

Look at that painting.

That woman

with her eyes covered.

Doesn't she look like her?

Though blindfolded,

she appears utterly lucid

and resolute.

but from legal clauses

from which its own veins then grew.
