[The Inner Eye] [EP08]

Lan agreed.

I'll go find the police.

No need, no need.

The child was taken by Yan Bin's fellow villager, He Na,

to Longxin Village.

But He Na's phone is off.

I don't know whether the child

is safe now.

Police are on their way.

Then the two of us

meet at the highway exit

and go directly to that village.

Okay, okay.

Keep in touch.

Here, Yaozu, time for milk.

He's been fussing all night.

Don't talk.

Can't you see he's crying?

Keep your voice down.

Come on, Yaozu, Yaozu.

Don't cry, don't cry anymore.

Who is it this early?

Is anyone home, neighbor?

Please open the door.

We're from the police station.

There's something

we'd like to ask you about.

Is anyone home?

What's going on?

I was just babysitting,

and now the police are here!

Just tell them I'm not here.

Oh,

don't mention the child.

What are you going to do?

Is anyone home, neighbor?

Open the door.

Please cooperate.

Coming, coming.

Hello.

Is He Na at home?

No.

Where did she go?

Block the roads out of the village.

Search the village house by house.

We must find the child's whereabouts.

[Geological Hazard Area Proceed with Caution]

Some villagers saw

He Na running towards the mountains.

The police are organizing

nearby village cadres

and mobilizing villagers to

go into the mountains.

It's raining.

Going into the mountains now

carries certain risks.

Be careful.

Stay in the village and wait for news.

I know.

Don't worry.

I know what I should do.

Rainy mountain roads, all dangerous factors

are coming together.

Send me your location.

I'll come find you.

Don't go into the mountains before I arrive.

Okay, I'll send it to you.

That's it for now. Hanging up.

Let me ask,

what does your boyfriend do?

He works for a tech company.

In his spare time,

he does rescue work with a civil organization.

If he's a professional,

I think we should

listen to his advice.

Stay in the village.

That's the best plan.

Yes, yes, yes.

What you say makes sense.

Pick up the speed a bit.

When you go up the mountain later,

do not act alone.

Be sure to stay safe.

Take a few people and go that way.

The rest come with me.

Chief Chen!

Chief Chen!

What's the situation now?

All roads out of the village

we have set up checkpoints and blocked.

As for the mountain paths,

there are three.

And there are many forks.

We have arranged for

local villagers familiar with the paths

to split into small teams

to go search for the person.

Then let us go with you.

No, no, no.

You are not familiar with the situation.

It's too dangerous.

Actually,

this is He Na's husband.

You stay with him.

If He Na returns,

call us as soon as possible.

He has a walkie-talkie.

We'll stay in contact at all times.

Okay, okay, okay.

We'll follow your arrangement.

OK. You, come with me.

Hello.

[The number you have dialed is powered off.]

Sorry.

[The number you have dialed is powered off.]

[Calling Chief Chen.]

[There's no path ahead on our side.]

[Awaiting further instructions.]

[Over.]

[Xiaoliu, return to the way you came.]

[Go to the north mountain path marked on the map.]

[There are many forks.]

[Remember to mark the way as you go.]

[Over.]

[Roger that.]

It's getting dark soon.

If we keep waiting like this,

it's not a solution.

If they're not found

before dark, it will be troublesome.

Um,

you must be quite familiar

with the mountain paths here,

right?

Yes, indeed.

Are there any old temples

or houses

or any shelters on that mountain?

No.

I already told the Chief.

It's just a mountain.

Nothing but trees.

Last time my wife and I

went picking mushroom,

it was raining cats and dogs.

There was nowhere to hide.

There is a place...

The backside of the north mountain

with big rocks

is a good shelter.

Come on, take us there.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

We can't just go up that mountain.

The Chief just

made it very clear.

We need to follow orders.

We...

I know.

But the Chief just went up the mountain.

They won't be back for a while.

It's already getting dark.

Can't you just follow orders for once?

I know what you're worried about.

Isn't there a local here?

He even has a walkie-talkie.

We can keep in touch as we go.

It'll be fine.

If you're scared,

you wait here.

I'll go with him.

Come on, let's go.

Then... then what about the Chief?

What, what should we do?

Let me tell you,

if anything happens to this child,

your wife will bear legal responsibility.

It's getting dark soon.

Do you think the two of them

might be in danger?

Okay, okay.

You two wait.

I'll get you raincoats.

Slow down.

He Na!

Wife!

He Na!

Should be this way.

Go.

Slow down, slow down, slow down.

Got it.

Wife!

Be careful.

He Na!

[Geological Hazard Area Proceed with Caution]

Wife!

[Tang Yingying]

Over here.

Careful.

Where are you?

I'm on the mountain.

Why are you here, in the rain?

No matter how big the issue is, you can't

disregard your own life.

[Calling all teams.]

[The meteorological department reports]

[rainfall will increase in one hour.]

[Landslides have hit several parts of the area.]

[Everyone, withdraw immediately.]

[Withdraw immediately.]

[Acknowledge.]

Is it the person in charge of the site

contacting you?

Listen up.

From now on,

you must follow their instructions.

Get down the mountain quickly.

Do you have

a local guide with you?

If so, let them find

the quickest path down.

Get back down immediately.

Chief!

So, has the person been found?

Not yet.

Yaozu!

Yaozu!

Found him?

Where is my child?

Our people are all on the mountain searching.

But the rain is too heavy now.

There's a risk of landslides at any moment.

So now we must have

them withdraw first.

Then what about my child?

You can't just leave him there.

Your child is a child,

but the people on the mountain are also children.

They have parents too.

Why don't you think about

their lives?

Attorney Kang, Attorney Tang!

Attorney Kang, Attorney Tang!

Come down the mountain immediately.

Come down immediately.

Acknowledge.

Attorney Kang!

Attorney Kang!

You're right.

I am his dearest one.

I can't lose him.

Please,

please, you must find

my son.

Attorney Kang!

He Na!

Wife!

Wife!

He Na!

Watch out for falling rocks!

Let's move quickly.

Let's take the main path.

Okay?

Okay.

Everyone, withdraw immediately.

The rain is getting heavier again.

If we go further ahead,

there might be danger of falling rocks.

Look.

Should we continue?

He Na's husband,

come here.

Here, take a look.

Did He Na drop this?

Is it baby stuff?

Yes.

These are the things they took when they left.

Exactly these things.

He Na took this path.

Tell the police the location.

The specific location.

Tell the police right now.

He Na!

Chief Chen, Chief Chen!

Near the back of Longwei Mountain,

we've found some clues.

Requesting backup.

Your decision was right.

He Na did take this path.

We've already located

her position.

Now our mission is complete.

Let's go down the mountain.

Listen to me.

He Na must have been

too tired to carry the child

and that's why she dropped the things here.

She must be nearby.

Let's search a bit more. Come on.

Wait.

Wait.

The child is important,

but our safety

is more important, okay?

You are a lawyer.

Leave these things to the rescuers.

I am a lawyer.

But she's not far from here.

And that child is also

a very important client.

I'm the leader, listen to me.

What are you doing?

Why does it have to be like this every time?

To achieve your goal,

you don't even care about your own life?

If you're scared,

you can leave now.

It's not the first time anyway

you've fled at the critical moment.

In Beijing, didn't you abandon

your partner?

Now, abandon me.

I don't need you.

Slow down.

It's dangerous here.

Let me lead the way.

Come on, slow down.

He Na!

Yaozu!

Don't cry, don't cry.

He Na!

Wife!

He Na!

Wife!

Husband!

You wait there.

I'll come down to you.

Husband!

Wife!

It's raining too heavy,

and it's getting dark soon,

and you're holding the child,

staying at the bottom of the slope.

Are you out of your mind?

Give me the child.

Give me the child.

Listen to me.

He Na, right?

We are lawyers.

We came with the police.

Let me tell you,

Meiyuan has already regretted.

Ask your husband.

They are lawyers.

Good people.

They came up the mountain in the rain to look for you.

Quick, give them the child.

Give us the child.

Give it!

Help me hold this.

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

Alright.

We can't stay here now.

Let's go quickly.

You go ahead.

Okay, okay, okay.

Go.

Go.

Slow down.

We've already found the child.

We're coming down the mountain now.

Found him, finally.

Wait a minute.

We must take good care of the child.

And we must take good care of

our comrades as well.

And then, that...

Let me do it.

Let me.

Let me help you.

No need, no need.

I can do it.

No,

it's fine.

I can.

Careful, careful, careful.

Everyone, watch your step.

Slow down.

Landslide!

Danger!

Quick, get down!

Yaozu!

Where are you?

Yaozu!

Tang Yingying!

Over there!

Tang Yingying!

Tang Yingying!

Come and help!

Coming!

Kang Jun!

Kang Jun!

Coming.

Yaozu!

Yaozu!

Are you guys okay?

We're fine.

Yaozu!

Thank you.

Thank you

for saving Yaozu.

Tell her

I agree to all her conditions.

You're awake.

Don't move, don't move, don't move.

Don't move.

Had a nightmare?

Did you stay with me all night?

The doctor said

when on an IV drip,

someone must be with you.

You're lucky.

You don't have a fracture.

You just have a joint dislocation

and some soft tissue damage.

You need to rest.

How's the child? Is he okay?

Don't worry, he's fine.

Already checked.

He's been discharged already.

He Na has also confessed everything

to the police.

Meiyuan asked her to hide the child

away

and promised

that after getting the inheritance,

she'd give her 100,000 yuan.

After last night's events,

I feel like we

have also shared hardship.

Then can you tell me,

why you risked your life to protect

that child?

Was it just for this case?

Maybe Meiyuan's child

reminded me of

myself when I was little.

When I was thirteen,

my dad got together with his female assistant.

My mom was emotionally distressed.

To make my dad come home,

she often tormented me,

made me get hurt.

After sobering up,

she would hug me and beg for my forgiveness.

One day she suddenly ran out.

She said she was going to find them.

It was also raining heavily that day.

[Mom!]

And then there was a car accident.

[Mom!]

[Mom!]

[Mom!]

I see.

So that day at the police station,

you lost control of your emotions

because you empathized deeply.

That's good, though.

You saved the child,

and also saved Meiyuan.

And it also helped you let go of

some of that childhood pain, right?

Right?

A good thing.

Maybe.

That day when you went to find Meiyuan,

what did you say to her

that made her willing to tell you the truth?

Didn't say much.

I just told her

that no mother

should let her own child

become part of a transaction.

Your hand was injured because of me, right?

Last night,

on the mountain,

I shouldn't have talked to you like that.

I'm sorry.

Tang Yingying!

Tang Yingying!

Come and help!

Kang Jun!

Kang Jun!

Tang Yingying!

I admire your courage,

but I cannot agree with

your methods.

Do you know I care about you a lot?

Do you know

what would happen if there were an accident?

What are you talking about?

You scared me. How are you?

Are you badly hurt?

It's fine, just hit by a rock.

Just a flesh wound.

Not serious.

You scared me to death!

Oh, Director Kang.

Hello.

Hello.

What happened last night

was indeed a landslide.

Err. Dangerous.

[Truly dangerous.]

Thank you so much

for calling.

It's nothing, my duty.

Don't get your wound wet.

I'm fine, really fine.

Does it still hurt?

Yes.

She... she...

Wait a minute.

Your injured hand

can't bear weight.

Let me take care of you these days, okay?

Right, I... I... I

[I know an]

extremely skilled Chinese Medicine practitioner.

[I can take you to...]

In the early stage of bone injury,

Manual Therapy Rehabilitation isn't suitable.

Rest should be the priority.

But he can do acupuncture.

Rest.

Director Kang,

my boyfriend will take care of me.

OK.

Sorry for bothering.

I'll leave now.

Have a good rest.

Why were you so careless?

It hurts.

By the way,

while you were asleep,

Ms. Lan called.

Mr. Hu passed away last night.

Do you like this?

I'm truly grateful to you

and Attorney Tang

for bringing Yaozu back safely.

Especially Attorney Tang.

I hope to apologize

to her in person

for my rudeness and prejudice before.

In our legal profession,

things like this

are quite common.

Attorney Tang is someone who

upholds professional principles.

As long as the matter

is properly resolved,

that's all

she needs.

I have to go to the police station.

Yaozu has a fever,

So， the police allowed me

to come back first to take care of him

before going to explain the details.

People must be responsible

for their actions.

I know.

I accept.

These punishments are what I deserve.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Although the outcome may not

meet your expectations,

at least you didn't lose him.

Please tell Lan

I accept her terms.

[In Loving Memory of Father Hu Cheng]

This is the revised agreement

from Attorney Tang.

If

there are no issues,

we can find a time

to sign it officially.

Then handle the equity transfer procedures.

Hu Yaozu's child support

will be transferred to your account

in full according to the agreement.

With that,

this matter will be settled.

Did Attorney Tang help me

negotiate the child support amount?

She asked me to tell you

she hopes your child

grows up healthy

and lives a carefree life.

Now we can

be honest with each other.

You arranged

all of this, didn't you?

It doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway,

we both got

what we wanted,

didn't we?

Now I think

we're both quite ridiculous.

Fighting back and forth

just for money.

"People die for wealth, birds for food"

it's just natural.

Thank you for your money

and Attorney Tang's blessings.

[You're still]

the same as when you were a child--

preferring the sunshine.

Like a plant,

cannot grow without sunlight.

I always feel like I can't see people's true hearts clearly.

I thought standing in the sun

would let me see more clearly.

I remember

you told me

that no matter what happens,

I'll always be your closest sister.

Do you still remember?

We've known each other for so long

that I can barely remember

what you used to be like.

I'm getting old.

Now,

no matter how much hair dye I use,

I can't cover my white hair.

No amount of medical aesthetics

can smooth the wrinkles on my face.

There are many things I can't do anymore.

The more powerless I feel,

the more I want to hold onto something.

Can you

understand that feeling?

My mom once said something

similar to you.

I remember when your mom

passed away,

it was the most

confused and painful

I'd ever seen you.

That's when I realized

how devastating

a broken family can be

for a child.

I didn't want to become like her,

and I didn't want Nicole

to lose her mom.

So， I chose to

divorce Hu

to maintain everyone's dignity.

What about that child?

If something

terrible had happened to him,

would your conscience have bothered you?

To be honest, I don't know.

After all,

nothing bad happened to him, right?

Thank you for being honest with me.

But evil spreads —

it passes down

layer by layer to those weaker than us.

The malice you had towards Meiyuan

was something she couldn't bear.

So， she had to take it out on someone

even weaker.

Within her capabilities,

the only one who could get hurt

was that child.

To be honest,

I never intended

to hide anything from you.

But your world

is too black and white.

Some things

were never meant to see the light of day.

You don't need to know everything.

People's hearts can't withstand scrutiny —

no one's can.

You schemed against Meiyuan,

you schemed against your ex-husband.

Legally speaking,

your actions

aren't illegal.

But social order

can't rely solely on laws.

Everyone has their bottom lines,

and morality should too.

It's different.

Rare occasion.

These years,

Attorney Tang gave me

a legal lesson.

Anyway,

I'm still grateful

that you acted as my lawyer

and protected me

from breaking the law.

Just like

how I protected you when you were a child.

But this time,

I lost another

person closest to me.

The price is too high.

I'm sorry.

I really had no choice.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Congratulations.

You got what you wanted.

Ms. Lan,

as your lawyer,

regarding Meiyuan's renunciation

of inheritance rights,

I have one last suggestion

If you're going to give it,

make it an auspicious amount.

Consider it

giving that child

a better,

regret-free life.

I just realized you're not

as money-driven as I thought.

I also made a discovery.

Director Kang isn't

as tough as he seems.

Why is it that when you compliment someone,

it always feels like

you're hiding a knife behind a smile?

Likewise.

Alright, I take back what I said earlier.

I still don't agree

with your methods sometimes.

[But,]

[you uphold your principles,]

that's very admirable.

I appreciate that.

Principles have never

been an issue

for me.

It just depends on when I choose to use them.

[But some people]

[talk about principles all the time]

yet have no principles at all.

Not you, Director Kang.

You're actually

full of justice.

I admire that too.

Let's talk on the way.

Wait. [It's a long journey.]

[Someone's here to pick me up.]

This song suits you.

Enjoy it.

Let's go.

[Chen Jun Law Firm]

[The latest industry requirements]

from this year's Guangzhou Lawyers Forum

have been sent to

your email inboxes.

Please review them carefully.

I believe they will provide

a clearer direction for your work

and business development

in the future.

With the passing of Mr. Hu from Lanhu Group,

there have been changes

to the group's internal personnel arrangements.

Thanks to Attorney Tang

and Director Kang's

[outstanding work]

[on Mr. Hu's inheritance entrusted case,]

[the group's new chairman]

[has confirmed that]

all legal matters

will be entrusted to our Chen Jun Law Firm.

Your cooperation this time

has brought better development to the firm.

It seems

win-win cooperation

is the general trend.

Attorney Tang,

[what do you think?]

I've been the legal consultant

for Lanhu Group

for many years.

[So, many of their]

[previous legal issues]

[were sended to me.]

But this time,

I'm truly grateful

for Director Kang's full support.

As for future cooperation

with Lanhu Group,

I personally suggest

entrusting it to

younger lawyers at the firm.

They'd be more suitable.

What do you think,

Director Kang?

Attorney Tang's generosity and bearing

are worthy of learning

by all of us here.

Let me be the first to applaud.

And,

during this trip to Guangzhou,

I witnessed Attorney Tang's

professionalism

as a lawyer.

I deeply admire it.

[I also saw]

[her]

[courageous]

[and selfless.]

But I want to tell everyone:

as a lawyer,

I don't recommend

putting yourselves in danger.

[No matter what problem you face,]

[tell me first.]

You have my support,

and Chen Jun Law Firm has your back.

We can help you resolve

all your problems.

Did everyone understand?

Yes!

Now let me introduce

a new colleague.

He'll be my assistant from now on.

Please stand up.

Introduce yourself.

Hello everyone,

my name is Cheng Feng.

I'm from Sichuan

and graduated from the Law Department of Agricultural University.

[I was very excited]

[listening to Director Kang's speech.]

[I feel honored]

to work at Chen Jun Law Firm.

And I hope

we can work with each other happily.

Thank you.

Oh!

I brought

some specialties from Sichuan

for everyone.

[I hope you like them!]

This tomato flavor is perfect

for hot pot.

This is spicy oil base!

[Please don't mind.]

[It's really delicious.]

This is clear broth base.

[If you need more,]

[just call me]

[and I'll send more!]

[The spicy oil one is amazing,]

[And so the spicy one.]

[Here, here.]

[there's pickled fish flavor too, and more!]

OK.

I never thought you two

used to be at odds with each other

and now you get along so well.

Just a trip to Guangzhou

made you reconcile.

You mean Kang Jun?

Let me tell you,

not "so well".

Anyway, we were never enemies

we just fought together

to save a child

without considering our lives.

And then got a little

closer to each other.

Got a little closer to each other?

I think it's more than

"a little".

What are you thinking?

Even if we've developed a little

tacit understanding

and mutual appreciation,

so what?

We're all adults.

What does that prove?

You're so brave

to speak about your boss like that.

Absolutely Attorney Tang.

Hush.

You two just keep appreciating each other

and having tacit understanding.

Let everything else take its course.

Ma'am.

how are you feeling?

If you need anything,

just let me know.

I'm fine — it's just a

minor dislocation.

Just need some rest.

You got injured jumping off a bridge a few months ago,

and now you're injured again.

Being a lawyer has become a high-risk profession.

You need to be more careful.

Your taste in clothes has improved.

Qian Peng's project is going well.

After securing investment,

it's started for a while.

Last week, there were nearly

a thousand new registrations in one day.

Qian Peng has also collaborated

with several financial experts

to provide consulting services to users.

The earliest users

of Yunpeng Capital

have already earned high returns.

Attorney Dai, ma'am.

you should really check it out.

The profits are really high.

I've invested all my savings

in Yunpeng Capital.

The annual return rate

is truly impressive!

Glad you're making money.

Congratulations.

Xiaoyun,

any investments carry risks —

especially projects with excessively high returns.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

I think you should

pay attention to risk control.

I know, ma'am.

Times are different

from before.

There's no free lunch,

but there are opportunities.

Opportunities are for

the courageous.

I trust Yunpeng Capital.

OK.

How much longer do I have to

wear this thing?

Uncomfortable and ugly.

Three weeks to be safe.

If it's inconvenient for you,

let your assistant help you

at the law firm.

I'll help you after work.

I feel like such a useless person.

And you don't have to come over so often—

the firm has drivers.

It's such a hassle going back and forth.

I don't mind the hassle.

Do you

value your

personal space a lot?

What do you mean?

What I mean is,

I'm not too busy with work

lately,

so,

if you don't mind,

why not move in with me

for a while?

I can take care of you.

Are you just trying to take care of me,

or do you have other motives?

Of course, take care of you.

What are you thinking?

Your hand is injured.

Never mind then.

I really value my

personal space.

But...

Can you cook?

Absolutely!

I'll have you know my cooking skills

are highly praised.

By your ex-girlfriends?

Auh.

Do you mind?

Routine question.

Don't take it too seriously.

As a single man,

your place is surprisingly

neat and tidy.

You knew I was coming?

I usually live in the dorm

near the company,

and rarely come back here.

Every time I do,

I feel like something's missing.

What's missing,

a hostess?

I think it's already covered.

Let me help you with that.

You're hurt

that you shouldn't be doing any work.

Take a break.

Where's the scissors?

I want to put these flowers in water

they're wilting.

Sure.

The scissors should be in

the drawer over there.

Hard for find them.

Did you find them?

Yes, I did.
