[The Inner Eye] [EP16]

I'll do it.

Nothing.

Go back by yourself.

I'll go with Attorney Tang.

You said

you had a case for me?

You're not

the only lawyer in China.

I have a better choice.

Aren't you on vacation?

That's

entirely up to me.

That depends on my mood.

Go.

Go.

Which car?

This one.

It sounds like

this case

is not complicated at all.

You have received a lawsuit

from the photography website of Light and Shadow World.

It points out that you used

172 copyrighted photos

of this website

without authorization.

It now requires you to pay

a copyright fee of 86 thousand yuan.

But in fact,

all these photos

were taken by you.

Right?

Yeah.

And I checked,

there were hundreds of lawsuits

on this website last year

involving copyright.

To put it simply.

All netizens

can post photos

to this website.

And it owns

the copyright of these photos.

Others,

even the photographer himself,

have to pay for the copyright

if he wants to use these photos.

I didn't understand

this logic at first.

It sounds ridiculous.

But it's true.

So now,

as long as you take out

the WeChat official account or publications

that you originally published photos

as evidence to prove that

these photos

were taken by you,

you are

the original copyright owner.

That will do.

Most of them

have evidence.

But some photos

have not been used

in any public media.

I may have to go to the local area

to get evidence.

For example,

this group of photos of Glossy Ibis,

with the theme of freedom,

were taken in Qionglai Mountain

and exhibited locally.

So beautiful.

But collecting evidence on the spot

is just a process.

Cheng Feng is from Sichuan.

Just let him do it.

No problem.

You agreed to

be my agent.

No.

You have to

arrange a free tour for me, don't you?

Whether to take a vacation or not

depends on you.

You have the freedom to choose.

But seriously,

I hope

you can go to

the shooting place of my photos

and see the scenery there.

Believe me,

you will never forget it.

[Freedom]

You're leaving before the case is closed?

In such a hurry.

Now is the time for

the great migration of animals in East Africa.

They don't

stop

for a human.

I'm telling you,

my dreams these days

are full of zebras, wildebeests

and antelopes calling me.

And if it wasn't

for this case,

I wouldn't even come back.

You

are freer and easier than I expected.

In fact,

I had some

entanglements and concerns

before I came back this time.

But I don't have them now.

About Kang Jun, right?

I never struggle,

never look back and never regret.

But as a woman,

I occasionally think of his goodness

when I am weak.

But I am more loyal to

my inner choice.

There is no solution.

I see.

One more thing to trouble you.

Take care of Kang Jun for me.

Stop.

I can't even take care of myself.

And I told you,

we are just colleagues.

Don't blindly match.

If you insist,

I might as well be with you.

I know him and you.

A good woman

will always be his prey.

You two are actually

hunters and prey to each other.

This word.

Prey.

I don't have that good appetite.

Miss. Let me contact the case judge

and submit

the entrusted information.

Okay.

Book two tickets.

I want to see the valley

where Bai Tong takes pictures of Glossy Ibis.

Okay, no problem.

Miss. That mountain

is near my hometown.

It's quite close.

You have something else to do?

Yeah.

Miss. After this case is over,

can I go back to my hometown for a few days?

My grandfather called me

to go back last month.

He said that the wheat was ripe

and asked me to go back to harvest it.

No. What do you mean?

You want to take time off to harvest wheat?

Yeah. That's a big deal

in our hometown.

My grandfather told me that

my roots are there.

No matter how far I go,

I will go back to harvest wheat.

Okay, no problem.

But you have to write a leave note

to Director Kang.

Okay, I got it.

Just write the reason

for your leave truthfully.

If he doesn't approve,

I'll help you coordinate.

Miss. Thank you.

I'm leaving.

Harvest wheat.

The reason for your leave is

to harvest wheat.

Can you...

Can you...

Can you give me

a decent reason?

Director, this is not fake.

It's true. I'm not lying to you.

Harvest wheat?

Yeah.

I'm a lawyer.

I can't lie to you.

I'm going to Qionglai Mountain

with Attorney Tang to see the shooting place.

That's near my hometown.

You approved it?

Before I change my mind.

Thank you. Director.

I'll go first.

Bye.

Mr. Fang, there have been

some changes in Wang Yao's case.

We were given

a copy of

her hospital birth certificate.

This is the date of birth

on her ID card.

[Birth Certificate]

The date of birth provided by the hospital

is two months later than that on the ID card.

In fact, this will happen

in many remote places.

If parents can't remember

the exact date of birth of their children

or in order to let their children

go to school earlier,

they will deliberately change the date

when filling in the date.

So,

she is actually under sixteen.

Yes, Wang Yao

is really under sixteen.

According to relevant laws,

she will not be

investigated for criminal responsibility.

We will order her parents

or guardians

to discipline her.

Of course.

If necessary,

she will be given special

corrective education according to law.

Thank you.

Well.

Who provided these materials?

Free wind.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[Wind of Freedom]

Where are you going?

Where there is wind.

The wind is very good.

You too.

I have completed

the transfer formalities for you.

Go back to your hometown and study hard

to get into college.

This time,

Attorney Tang just wanted to

teach you a lesson,

but didn't really want to

make you bear criminal responsibility.

I know.

I've figured out

a lot myself during this time.

Wei'an.

I...

Can I

see Yingying again?

I want to

say thank you to her in person.

Everything is a free poem.

Now I deeply

understand the meaning of this sentence.

No. Director Kang.

You are everywhere.

Yeah. Why am I everywhere?

I'm just taking a vacation for myself.

I should relax.

Sichuan is a land of abundance.

It suits me.

As a newcomer to Chen Jun Law Firm,

what qualifications do you have

for a holiday?

The wheat is ripe.

I'm going to harvest it.

Yeah, the wheat is ripe.

I should harvest wheat

with him.

Wheat?

Yeah.

Harvest wheat.

Harvest wheat. The wheat is ripe.

Good reason.

Yeah.

So then?

Bai Tong took

several beautiful photos

in that place.

You like them, right?

My skills are no worse than hers.

I can take

some pictures for you.

Relive your ex-wife's journey.

No.

Very romantic.

And?

Cheng Feng's grandfather

can brew osmanthus wine.

Osmanthus wine.

He sincerely invited us

to have a taste.

I think such a

warm invitation...

Director Kang.

How can I put it?

I just lost my love

and my mood is

unstable.

Can you understand what I mean?

Um...

Director Kang.

You are everywhere.

Why are you here?

I just got on.

What a coincidence.

Yeah.

What a fate.

You two go to

harvest wheat together.

Very romantic.

Attorney Tang.

Director.

You're going to harvest wheat, too?

What?

Harvest wheat.

Well. Well.

Director, where is your seat?

Head of train.

We didn't expect anyone to look for

the original archive of the professional photo

contest more than ten years ago.

Thank you for your cooperation.

You're welcome.

Attorney Tang. Come to us anytime

if you need anything.

OK.

Well. Goodbye.

Well.

You're the ghost of me.

Director Kang.

You ask Cheng Feng

to sort out the evidence.

And he's worried that

you're

a stranger here.

So he entrusted me

to be your assistant for him.

For now. Get in.

You are the director,

but you are my assistant.

You are overqualified.

How's the file retrieval

going?

Stop saying useless things.

Do you think this case

is difficult for me?

No.

What? Where to?

Let's go find

the free Glossy Ibis.

We'll be at the top of the mountain soon.

Thank you.

What a nice place.

If you murdered me here,

no one would know.

Do you have persecutory delusion?

No. No.

I have no persecutory delusion

or love delusion.

The photos of Bai Tong

should have been taken

in a higher place.

Glossy Ibis is an endangered species,

which was almost extinct before.

She happened to photograph it over there.

She didn't know what bird it was.

It was later confirmed to be Glossy Ibis.

The local cultural bureau

took this group of photos

to hold a photo exhibition.

Yeah, I remember that set of photos.

The theme is freedom.

You remember it very clearly.

Free wind.

I also remember

what you said very clearly.

You have a good memory.

What are you laughing at?

Valley. Breeze.

Sunshine. Stream.

Chase

a flock of erratic birds together.

Wait or come back disappointed.

Romantic.

I feel it.

Any lawyer

can solve Bai Tong's case

easily.

But she came to you.

Why?

You're

her attorney now.

You really don't understand

or are you playing dumb with me?

She doesn't need you

or me to help her with

this unskilled lawsuit at all.

All she wants to do is

stand here with you

and feel it.

Can't you feel it?

My sudden appearance

at your camp that day

upset her plans.

She is smart and free and easy.

You set her free.

She rewarded you with freedom.

It should have been

you and her standing here.

But it's

you and me

standing in this place now.

It's a pity.

I don't have such good luck

to wait for Glossy Ibis.

Wait a minute.

Even if

we don't see it today,

at least

they have been here

where we are standing.

Right?

That means

we had a perfect

intersection with it.

So then?

Then

we can feel it once.

How to feel?

Come on, I'll teach you.

Close your eyes.

Turn around.

Close your eyes.

Open your arms.

Let's imagine that

we are one of

these Glossy Ibises.

Spread your wings

in the air.

The airflow passes through.

Overlook the mountains and rivers.

The world is vast

and boundless.

[Do Not Cross Trying to love someone over me?]

[Tang Yingying]

Boss. I'm sorry.

I didn't treat you well.

Grandpa, you don't have to call boss,

just call the name.

Yingying.

Kang Jun. Kang Jun.

He is our boss.

No. No. No.

Director Kang.

Please sit down.

No. No. No.

Please sit in the middle.

Don't be polite to us.

Director, don't be polite to us.

Please sit in the middle.

Well.

Feng told me

to put less pepper in the dish.

He said you didn't like it.

I don't even know

how to cook.

No. Do as the Romans do.

We can't eat

such authentic peppers

anywhere else.

Yes?

We like spicy food best.

Come for spicy food.

That's good. That's good.

Miss. Try

the osmanthus wine

brewed by my grandfather.

Osmanthus wine. Yeah.

Low degree.

Osmanthus wine.

It smells good.

We have a good harvest this year.

After the wheat is harvested,

I sold some.

At home,

I also kept some.

It's enough to eat.

My children all live in the city now.

They said I'm getting old

with no understanding of the world.

Actually, I understand very well that

now

life in the city

isn't much better than ours in the countryside.

Cheng Feng said

you reserved a plot of farmland for him,

whenever he decides

he's tired of city life,

he can come back anytime.

Feng,

no matter how far a person wanders,

his feet must

always be rooted in the soil.

As long as one still

sets foot on this land,

he must harvest the wheat when it ripens.

My grandfather has always told me,

even after becoming a lawyer,

never forget who you are.

From childhood,

he taught me one thing:

be down-to-earth, diligent, and kind.

Sounds great.

Yes, absolutely, great.

Help yourselves.

Come on, help ourselves.

Alright, let's toast together.

To you.

Cheers to the harvest!

Cheers!

To the harvest.

Feng is already quite outstanding

and will soon be handling cases independently.

Thanks, Director Kang.

Thank you for the cultivation of our leaders.

You're welcome. It's all his own hard work.

Miss Tang, try this chili.

OK, I will.

Try this dish.

Sure, OK.

That means before calling the police

she knew

Wang Yao was under sixteen.

I see. She must have foreseen the outcome,

so she punished her

this way.

In a sense,

it wasn't punishment,

but salvation.

That's the real Tang Yingying.

However,

I've missed her.

I actually envy you, I do.

Now you don't have to envy me anymore.

Here comes your chance to pursue love.

From now on,

I'm putting her in your care.

Sister Tang

Do you trust me?

Give me your hand.

Close your eyes.

In the city,

there's always too much noise surrounding us,

making us forget who we are

and obscuring the path beneath our feet.

But here,

even with our eyes closed,

we know where the road lies,

we know which way to go.

Go on your own.

We always think we can shelter from storms

on someone else's shoulder.

Little do we know,

when that shoulder pulls away,

those who fall hardest

are ourselves.

Like these wheat plants,

to withstand the storms,

they have to root deep into the soil,

growing sturdy to bear the weight.

When your feet get muddy enough,

and your ankles grow strong,

you'll understand that

what truly endures the storm

isn't reliance on others,

but the tangled roots

you've grown deep into the earth.

Come on, you can do it.

Come on.

I can do it.

Keep going.

Thank you for everything

you've done for Wang Yao.

For my previous

distrust and misunderstanding of you,

I apologize.

Do I really

have no chance?

Perhaps connections between people in the world

are just like this.

Some are parallel,

while others intersect.

Maybe our connection

is just two intersecting lines

drifting further apart.

We met,

and we shared beautiful memories

—that's enough.

Yes,

truthfully,

I didn't handle this well.

I paid a painful price.

But I never

withheld or deceived you.

Do you believe me?

I never felt

you were withholding or deceiving me.

You had your reasons.

I understand.

And

this isn't why

we broke up.

The reason for our breakup

is only one:

we weren't right for each other.

Nothing more?

Yep, nothing more.

I'm at the mercy of you again.

Fine. It might sound clichéd,

but I still want to say:

I want you to be happy.

I want you to be happy, too.

Take care.

Take care.

Miss Tang, push it forward like this.

Then cut it off with force.

What do you think?

TALENTED, Miss Tang.

Let me help you.

Am I doing it right? Right.

It's easy.

I've got talent, huh.

You've got talent.

Director Kang, I'll show you.

You can't do it like that.

Director Kang, look.

Hold this, then...

I've got it. Let me try.

Don't push up,

push down.

So that's it? No way.

Be careful! Director Kang.

Careful. Careful. Careful.

Can you make it?

With skills like yours,

how dare you offer to help Cheng Feng harvest wheat?

If you're really no good at this, you...

You go wait over there.

Okay?

Somebody's about to give up.

Every grain of wheat comes from hard work.

Miss Tang

You do have some talent.

Thanks!

Director Kang

Take a break if you're tired.

What's that?

Feng, you guys...

How does a snake end up in this field?

Snakes are rare in fields.

What's that?

Cheng Feng, go check it out.

You ... You get him to take a look.

A snake!

It can't be a rattlesnake!

A rattlesnake?

Its venom is deadly.

What?

Watch out! Miss Tang!

Let Feng go...

Shut up!

Let Feng go...

Stop pulling!

Oh my god!

Don't touch it!

The knife!

He's bleeding! Miss Tang!

Miss Tang

Go get the car!

Drive to the clinic!

You

Nope

What are you doing?

Stopping the bleeding, bro!

No, no!

Don't move! Stop the bleeding!

Hey! Sister!

Get your dirty hands off! Prevent infection!

No way.

No! No!

Stopping the bleeding matters!

Clear? Do not move.

Miss Tang, get in the car!

Er,

Let's go.

[Health Center]

His wound is pretty deep right now.

He's lost too much blood.

And that knife was polluted.

The wound is at high risk of infection.

Moreover,

with his high temperature,

we'll keep him here for IV fluids

and anti-inflammatories.

Infected?

I'll write you a prescription first.

Seriously?

Miss Tang

You stay with Director Kang for now.

I'm going back to cook for my grandfather.

I'll come back for you later.

OK. See you later.

I'll take care of things here.

Okay, Director Kang, I'm leaving now.

Go on, go on.

Let...let me check.

Doctor,

give him some fever-reducing medicine.

He does have a fever.

OK.

Yingying?

Yingying?

What do you need?

Just go home.

You don't need to stay with me.

I'm fine now.

I feel much better.

You should go home and rest.

You've been tired all day. I can take care of myself.

You just lie down. Come on.

Power outage?

Kang Jun

What's wrong with you?

It's OK. It's OK.

Just stay calm.

Are you afraid of the dark?

Do you remember

what I told you

about my childhood?

I remember

you were thirteen then,

right?

When I was little,

every time my mom

had an emotional breakdown,

she'd lock me

in the storage room downstairs.

That storage room

was incredibly small and dark.

It was so tiny and dark

that all I could hear was my own heartbeat.

Even now,

when I sleep,

I always light a lamp

for myself.

When I stay in hotels,

I often keep the light on.

Your eyes are

as bright as stars.

Miss Tang. Director Kang.

Miss Tang.

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

I saw nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Sorry.

Why can't I turn off the torch?

I can't see you, Director Kang.

I can see nothing.

Sorry for disturbing you.

What's wrong?

You're leaving after just a few days?

Director Kang is injured.

We can't harvest the wheat.

Grandpa,

during the next holiday.

I'll come back to see you

At noon, I'll have your brother and sister-in-law

come to see you off together.

Really? Thanks.

Did you pack everything?

Yes, I did.

So much stuff to take, huh?

Cheng Feng

Cheng Feng, Cheng Feng

Grandpa said you're leaving now,

but you can't.

Drinking so much in broad daylight

—why?

You're a lawyer,

you can't leave now.

You have to help me out.

Why are you drinking in the morning?

What's going on?

No, what's wrong with you?

Where's Bingbing?

Why didn't she come back with you?

Did you fight with her again?

Answer me!

Niu Bingbing is getting rich now.

With her own business,

she looks down on me.

She even wants a divorce.

Stop talking nonsense.

Bingbing isn't that kind of girl.

Did you make her upset again?

No. She can have whatever she wants,

but I'm not in her thoughts anymore.

What can I do?

Then what's your plan now?

I don't want a divorce

You're a lawyer working in the city.

Help your brother out

by convincing your sister-in-law.

Just don't let her divorce me.

Grandpa.

Help me.

Feng

Call Bingbing

and rush her back here.

Cheng Feng went home

to pack his belongings.

Then, after lunch,

we'll head back.

Honestly, I'm still

quite attached to this place.

It's a bit hard to leave.

Bai Tong's case is settled now.

And you can't harvest wheat anymore.

Hold on

You want to settle down here?

Tang Yingying

Could you please speak more kindly?

What do you mean?

Last night,

you were such a lovely girl.

Soft as a kitten.

Listen,

first,

watch your tongue

when describing me.

Second,

don't flaunt your male charm

around me.

You'd better hide your hypocrisy

and learn to be honest.

If I were a kitten, then what would you be?

If I were a cat,

you'd be that Sphynx cat

with sudden whims.

A Sphynx cat

has no fur.

But plenty of fancy ideas. Ever seen one?

Okay, my fault.

I am delusional.

Aren't you?

I am just daydreaming.

Feng,

take the food inside.

OK, Sister Bingbing.

Here comes Director Kang and Miss Tang.

Let me introduce them to you.

They are the leaders of my law firm.

She is Miss Tang.

He is Director Kang.

Glad to see you.

Just call me Tang Yingying.

Glad to see you.

Welcome, both of you.

This is your first time here, isn't it?

We're here

to help Cheng Feng harvest the wheat.

We'll be leaving after lunch.

Well, come in please.

Let's go inside.

This way, Director Kang.

Sister Bingbing

There are some pickles left in the house.

Got it.

Any help with that?

No. Thank you.

Bingbing

Bingbing, there you are.

Here, pass this to me.

Let me handle it.

Grandpa, I brought you some

braised meat and pickles.

Alright.

Bingbing

Did he upset you again?

Tell Grandpa,

and I'll stand up for you.

He didn't, Grandpa.

Then why do you want to get a divorce?

Bingbing

Bingbing, I know I was wrong.

Grandpa's been

scolding me all morning.

I'll drink less from now on.

No, I won't drink at all.

I'll do whatever you say.

Bingbing

for Grandpa's sake,

please give me one more chance.

You know

I can lose everything,

but I can't lose you.

Discuss this later.

Bingbing, I knew

you'd forgive me.

I'll make you some tea.

Can you carry that?

Sure.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Are you okay, Director Kang?

Just fine, just fine.

Did you throw out your back?

Miss Tang, give me this.

Let me lift this.

Do you have a sore back?

No, I don't.

I ...I just need to sit for a while.

Director Kang, I'll do this.

Come on.

Then it's your business.

It's heavy. Be careful.

Don't worry.

I have told you not to be STUBBORN.

Are you okay?

Am I not okay?

Of course. I'm fine.

I just...

Let me help you.

Right here?

Feng

Er,

What does your sister-in-law do?

They run a factory

developing pesticides.

How does she

get along with your brother?

They've always been close.

Have you noticed something new?

No, I just noticed

her arms are covered in wounds.

Just asking.

Domestic violence?

It can't be.

My brother isn't that kind of person.

I was just curious. You go ahead.

Attorney Tang, right?

Is there anything I can help with?

No, thanks.

What happened to your arm?

What's wrong?

I fell down the stairs.

Did you fall down?

I noticed

there are some old scars, too.

Did your husband do that?

Your husband did this, right?

I'm a lawyer.

Need any help?

I'm here to help.

Director Kang has a sore back.

We probably won't go anywhere

in the near future.

Here's my card.

Once you've made up your mind.

Call me anytime.

See you later.
