[Episode 9]

[Ji Xiao'ou]

[In-patient; Emergency]

We're lucky that it was just a few scratches.

Stay in the hospital for a few days to make sure.

Sister, did you really wreck Xiao Meiren's office?

She wrecked it totally, to her heart's content.

Xiao'ou, I understand your feelings,

but why did you have to go alone?

Don't you know what that woman's background is?

If something happened, how am I going to explain to your parents?

Sister, we can always start over with the cafe.

No need to hurt yourself because of it.

I went to the cafe yesterday to check things over. The coffee machine didn't break.

The stuff I brought back from abroad is still around.

Most of the equipment is still usable. We just need to redecorate the cafe.

I had my eyes on a different style anyway. We can use this as an opportunity to change things up.

That's right. As long as you are fine, everything else is just trivial.

I believe that with the help of each other,

we can reopen Flowing Thoughts Cafe in no time.

The current situation, if we renovate and add new fixtures,

we need at least ¥300,000.

My two years of effort was just wasted.

We should've taken Yan Jin's card yesterday.

From now on, don't say that person's name ever again.

We already caught the gangsters.

We should at least have them pay.

The money is that bitch's anyway.

You want dirty money?

It's okay. Why add more trouble?

Xiao'ou has already destroyed their place.

Even if we use the law,

those people are not going to easily have evidence leading up to Xiao Meiren.

They'll be released in a few days.

If we keep going against them, we're going to be the ones at a loss.

Feng is right. Money can be gathered.

I still have money. If it's not enough, I can sell a couple of my bags.

It's my fault that I take the cafe's money to buy bags.

Think of it as me paying you back.

Xiao'ou, I still have some money on my side.

I don't need it at the moment. You can take it.

That's money for Le Le's medical fees. I can't take that.

Le Le's condition is stable right now.

You can use it as an emergency fund.

If I really need it, I can ask for it back from you.

No way. Didn't you say that there were some issues with work recently?

I can't take that money.

Don't worry. Le Le and I won't starve to death.

Sister, I have around 100,000 on this card. You can use it first.

Where did you get so much money?

Just like Brother Feng, it's money for medical fees.

It's also some money for me to study abroad.

It's all of the scholarship money and part-time jobs that I've saved up.

I can't make use of the money right now. I can let you use it first.

I can't take your money.

Sister, listen to me.

You helped me a lot in this time frame.

You've even given my mom free medicine.

I'm really grateful.

I'm glad that I can finally repay the favor.

You must take this money. We're family.

Once the cafe is back, you can slowly pay me back,

or you can think of it as me buying a share of your cafe.

I can be a partial owner of Flowing Thoughts Cafe.

I take all of this sincere input. I'm not going to say any more thankful words.

Rest assured, I will bring back Flowing Thoughts Cafe.

- Cheers! - Cheers! Fighting!

- Fighting! - Fighting!

- Fighting! - Fighting! - Fighting!

Let's sweep this area first.

Everyone come and drink some coffee.

Can you offer some kind of discount?

I'll think about it then. Thanks.

[Vendor List]

Sister, I found an interior design company near school.

¥150,000 can get the job done.

Really?

I got their company's promotional flyers and information here.

Take a look.

[Subtotal: ¥73,270]

The pricing is really not bad.

That company has a specific department that's meant for recently graduated students

that want to start a business. There's a deal.

I told them that we're opening a coffee shop and bargained for this pricing.

Sister, if you think it's okay, you can sign the contract and start tomorrow.

Xiao Yu, you are the best.

Mom and Dad, what brings you here?

Everyone knew that Flowing Thoughts Cafe was destroyed.

Why can't I, as your mother, come take a look?

Auntie and Uncle, please sit.

You are Zhan Yu?

Yes. Hello Auntie.

So you've been around these few days?

Sister Xiao'ou can't leave the store so I took a few days off to help around.

- You've worked hard. - It's nothing.

Zhan Yu, thank you for helping Xiao'ou. It's not good to take days off during school.

It's better to go back to school.

You are right, Auntie. I should head back.

Sister, I have practice tonight. I'll take off now. I'll come tomorrow.

Okay.

Auntie and Uncle, goodbye.

- Stay safe, bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

Xiao'ou, your mom made soup for you.

Replenish your body.

Thanks, Mom.

You should keep your distance from Zhan Yu.

You don't care about rumors between you two?

What's your plan after this?

I'm going to keep this coffee shop opened.

You still want to keep running it?

Your shop has been hated on and destroyed.

It's already been spread around.

Are you going to keep embarassing yourself?

Neighbors are now saying things about me.

Do you still care about our lives?

What did they say?

Someone said you messed with bad people.

As well as you becoming a mistress and the wife taking it out on you.

Tell me what really happened.

Mom, I only have one thing to say. Nothing.

There's no such thing as nothing.

What does Yan Jin do for a living?

What is your relationship with him?

I don't know him. I have no relation to him.

You don't know him? Then, why did you bring him home?

Why are you asking so many questions?

Mom, listen clearly. I, Ji Xiao'ou, have never done anything that is shameful.

Okay. As long as you and Yan Jin are not seeing each other,

I won't talk about it anymore.

Let's talk about your future then.

Since this shop has been destroyed, why don't we just lease it out?

One year's rent makes more profit than one year's business.

Go find a stable job.

Then find a good man to marry.

Your father and I will be off your back once you've done those.

Grandma gave me this place. I will never lease it out.

Not only that, I will keep Flowing Thoughts Cafe open and better than it was before.

Are you trying to kill me?

I just don't understand. I'm not doing anything illegal.

I'm legally trying to run a business. What's wrong with that?

If you aren't satisfied with me,

you can always give birth or adopt another daughter

so you can raise her to your own standards.

I won't mind.

Ji, take a look at her. Is she really our daughter?

Okay, okay. Now that we see that you are fine,

we're going to leave.

- Let's go. We can talk about it at home. - Stop pulling me!

Your favorite snacks are in there.

[Just like always, don't tell your mom.]

You're sick like this, and you still have the energy to cry?

Why cry over this scoundrel?

You shouldn't have kept it from me when you were with that human trash.

I thought he was serious in the beginning.

He even flew to Dubai to have a date with me.

Who knew he was married with a kid.

These days,

why is it so hard to find a reliable man?

Who do you think it is?

Could it be his wife?

- Brother Feng. - Hi, Xiao'ou.

Come in.

I told Brother Feng to make some soup for you.

- Brother Feng came? - How's your fever?

I'm a lot better. Thanks for making a trip here.

Xiao'ou said you were sick so I bought a chicken and made soup.

Drink as much as you can.

Brother Feng, have you eaten yet?

I already ate at home with Le Le. You two can help yourselves.

My house is a little messy.

It's never been clean since you moved in here.

Brother Feng, don't mind it, I'll clean later.

It's okay. It's not inconvenient. Don't mind me.

Here.

Why are you crying again?

It's been a long time since I drank good soup like this.

Is that necessary? If it's good, drink more.

Zhan Yu cares about you a lot recently.

He cares about everyone.

Stop pretending. He's a man, too.

Why would he help you this much out of nowhere?

It's because I helped him a lot before this.

Not to mention, Zhan Yu is a good kid.

Help me find the stuff on the shopping list so we can hurry back and help around.

To forget someone fast,

is to start a new relationship.

Hello, may I ask where this brand's light switch is?

Let me take a look. It's that way.

Thank you.

I think Zhan Yu is pretty good.

He's pretty handsome and talented,

even though his family background isn't that great.

You don't mind anyway.

I think you should consider it.

Can't you think of other things besides dating?

Zhan Yu is my little brother.

There's no blood relation between you two. You're not real siblings.

You really don't know that he likes you?

Unless you can't get over Yan Jin.

Can you stop mentioning that name?

If you're already over him, why would it matter when I mention him?

I'm already very annoyed about everything.

If you have nothing better to do, you go find another one first.

I already found one.

The kind, good man that we were talking about has appeared.

I saw it coming.

What did you see?

A few days ago when I asked Brother Feng to deliver soup, did it spark something?

Something happened.

Something big.

Don't tell me, you two already–

Is Brother Feng that kind of person?

I like Brother Feng. I want to pursue him.

Really? I don't believe you.

To be honest...

I have always liked Brother Feng.

He takes on the father and mother role taking care of Le Le.

He's a nice man.

When he took you to see Yan Jin,

he even stood up for me. He was so manly.

After that, he has taken care of me these few days and helped me clean my house.

I don't know why.

Having his existence,

my cold house finally felt like a home.

You aren't just saying this as a joke, right?

Of course not. I'm serious.

I'm no longer a little girl.

I should know what I want.

But Brother Feng is very different from all your ex-boyfriends.

His economic standing is very simple.

If you are with him in the future, it's going to be hard.

Can you handle that?

I've already thought about it. I like Brother Feng as a person.

If I decide to be with him, I will accept everything else.

Not to mention, Brother Feng has told me

he wants to open a marinated snack shop,

but he doesn't have much money.

I do. As long as

I can stop my spending habit, I can save up.

I think I can help him open a shop in two years.

As long as the shop is opened,

with his cooking, the business will be great.

By then, Le Le's medical fees won't be a problem anymore.

Your mind is a lot clearer for you to have your eyes on Brother Feng.

Do you think he would like me, too?

Would he hate me because of my past?

If he really hates you, why would he promise to help take care of you?

That's right.

How can I pursue him?

You have a good relationship with him, give me some tips.

I think as long as you're sincere, you'll be fine.

Brother Feng is very simple.

You should change your fashion and makeup choices.

Treating Le Le well is the most important.

Okay.

From now on, I'll give you my clothes and bags and start dressing like you.

So committed.

I must learn how to save and start contributing to a family.

I'm going to be very straightforward about this.

If you hurt Brother Feng, our friendship is finished.

Let's talk about this when I get him.

Brother Feng, drink some water.

Oh, thank you.

Xiao Fang, you look different today.

Time for lunch.

- Let's eat. Let's eat. - You've worked hard.

You've worked hard, everyone.

- Brother Feng, take a break. - Time for lunch.

Xiao Yu...

Xiao Yu, let's go.

- Are you tired? - I'm okay.

They've gotten a lot done this morning, huh?

That's right.

Here's Brother Feng's.

- Xiao'ou's. - Thank you.

- Yours. - Thank you.

Why does mine have more meat than yours?

You did more work lately. I just thought that it's a lot of hard work.

I purposely ordered more meat for you.

Brother Feng, do your shoulders hurt?

No, it's nothing.

- I'll help you massage them. - No need! You can eat your lunch.

- It's nothing. - Xiao Fang–

Is this the spot?

Xiao Fang, it's okay.

You can continue eating. It's nothing.

Okay. Okay.

I want to ask what you guys found so far?

Nothing so far.

It's been so long. What have you guys been doing?

The case is a little complicated.

We're trying to solve it as soon as possible.

So everything you say is very important to solving the case.

[Yan Jin]

Second Brother has been gone for almost five years.

I couldn't save my own brother back then,

and now I can't even protect the woman I love.

I know you're sad.

I never knew this would lead to Ji Xiao'ou suffering.

But things have already happened. You can only keep going.

That day, I watched Ji Xiao'ou get messed around with those guys.

I had to pretend that I was happy in front of Xiao Meiren.

Do you think a person like me can help you complete this mission?

What happened afterward?

Are you planning to give up on this mission for Ji Xiao'ou?

Don't forget that Second Brother died in these drug criminals' hands.

If you don't destroy Xiao Meiran's group, the "10.20" drug trafficking case will never end.

Second Brother would still be dead without a purpose.

Okay.

I'm done complaining. I have some good news.

Xiao Meiren has finally mentioned Boss Wu from Guangdong in front of me.

His name is Wu Feng.

Even though she did not mention having business with him,

at least she got me into the circle.

She wants to give the inventory location books to me.

The bad news is there is no information on Boss Wu.

Liu Wei's the one that's been working on everything.

Xiao Meiren has never met Wu Feng.

Liu Wei is still opposed to me handling the inventory location books.

Liu Zi has already taken "KK" to meet Liu Wei. Did he tell you?

"KK" has met Liu Wei?

Yan Jin, you can only use Xiao Meiren to get through to Liu Wei.

Try to get close to this Wu Feng. Speed up and get the details of their transaction.

Strive for a one time clean up effort.

I know what to do.

But regarding "KK,"

I don't want to let go yet.

If he doesn't know how to repent, judging from the current drug trafficking numbers...

It's a death sentence.

That night when Xiao'ou was attacked,

Zhan Yu put his life on the line to protect her.

I can tell he really loves Ji Xiao'ou.

If he doesn't want Ji Xiao'ou to be disappointed

and have Ji Xiao'ou face his death sentence,

he will turn back.

Don't you know how to knock?

If you hurt Ji Xiao'ou once again, I will kill you. I mean it.

I want to know if you can live to that day.

Are you threatening me? I can kill you now.

I believe you.

You're brave enough to sell drugs.

You can be brave enough to kill someone, too.

What drugs? What are you talking about?

You really don't know? It's okay.

I'll help you remember. Your name is Zhan Yu,

a high-achieving student majoring in violin at the Conservatory of Music.

You also have another alias.

"KK," an infamous drug criminal. Famous drug dealer on Bar Street.

Your connection is Liu Zi.

That day at the club, you went to see Liu Wei.

From the beginning, you were forced by life and are obsessed with money.

Until now, you have become a member of Xiao Meiran's drug cartel.

The drugs you've dealt, you can suffer several times over.

Do you think you really are that innocent boy that Ji Xiao'ou sees you as?

You are just a liar to your own family.

You try your best to hide the truth that you are a drug dealer.

A person full of lies.

If Cheng and I didn't give you a chance to change yourself,

you would've been taken away a long time ago.

Cheng? You guys?

Come with me.

Wait a sec.

There's no one in the mountains. Just talk here.

It's just a mountain. Be a man and hike.

Cheng and I grew up together. We were also comrades together.

We worked together on the "10.20" major drug trafficking case five years ago.

This case has been reopened.

In order to completely close the "10.20" case,

I've decided to work with Cheng.

Get close to Xiao Meiren undercover.

But Liu Wei keeps me outside the loop. He suspects me because I was a drug enforcement officer

and he suspects my relationship with Cheng.

No wonder Liu Zi sent me to you on Valentine's Day.

From that day on, the story is a turning point.

When I was trying to track down my lighter,

I found out that you were selling drugs in the bar as well as working with Liu Wei.

That's the only reason why I started keeping a close eye on you in Flowing Thoughts Cafe.

So it was you who let Cheng ask me to work with him.

On the one hand, it's difficult for me to gain Liu Wei's trust.

I need a person to work with me.

On the other hand, even if it's just for Ji Xiao'ou,

I want to give you a chance to redeem yourself.

So Cheng and I planned your arrest that time.

You probably didn't know till now.

The white powder that you had

was actually laundrey detergent.

I thought you would make good use of the chance of working with the cops.

I never imagined you were just playing Cheng.

What about you?

For your own personal purposes, you got Ji Xiao'ou involved.

You keep lying to her, hurting her.

Don't you think this is unfair to her?

I wronged her.

But if she found out that her little brother was a drug dealer

and didn't take advantage of the one chance to redeem himself, earning a death sentence,

what do you have to say for yourself?

There's nothing I can do. That's life.

You are a hero, and I...

I am a person who has to think of ways to earn a little extra money.

I don't have a future nor do I have a choice of turning back.

I'm going to be abandoned by Sister Xiao'ou after all.

That's because you gave up on yourself.

Now is the critical moment for the breakthrough of this case.

As long as you help me,

get information from Liu Wei,

you can hope for a future.

There's always time for redemption. It's never too late.

You just need to live,

to stand here and see the view.

That way you can love the person you want to love.

The deal is...

to be alive.

Ji Xiao'ou knows life is hard for you.

Even if she knows you did something bad,

she'll forgive you and not give up on you.

I believe she's that kind of woman.

Turn back, Zhan Yu.

Okay. I promise you.

What should I do afterward?

What's your relationship with Liu Wei?

He's satisfied with me and is willing to teach me.

He has a deal with Guangdong.

Everything is done and set.

They just need the right time to have the deal move forward.

Xiao Meiren may be the head of the company,

but Liu Wei is actually the one behind it all.

What you need to do is to get it from Liu Zi?

Inquire about Liu Wei's movement.

I understand.

Have you heard Li Zi mention anything about manufacturing drugs?

If you hear anything about that, tell me immediately.

If we can find where they are manufacturing,

maybe we can find another way to solve the case.

Okay. From now on, we need to lessen our chances of meeting.

Inform me and Cheng immediately when you discover something.

We can communicate through the phone when it's safe.

Remember, Liu Wei is very despicable.

You have to be really careful.

Okay. I understand.

A brief introduction of the interior decorating company has been sent to you.

Once the contract is signed, they can start working on it the next day.

Just say that you found it yourself.

How is Xiao'ou?

She's okay. She's eating.

The only thing that's stressing her out right now is the construction work for the coffee shop.

I hope that you and Fang Niya can take care of her in my place.

I'm almost there. I'll hang up now.

Manager Yan.

- Yan Jin. - Feng.

Yan Jin, do you have time?

I have something to talk to you about.

- Here. - No. I quit.

That's good.

Feng,

I know you're angry about Xiao'ou's shop being wrecked.

Yan Jin, what exactly is your relationship with that girl?

Do you know she is in communication with gangsters?

Of course, I know what kind of person she is.

As you know as well, we're in an economic depression.

In order to protect this business of mine,

I have to maintain a working relationship with her.

In business, you have to do what it takes.

Your working with her for your business is your business.

I trust that you know what's best, but Xiao'ou is the kindest woman I know.

I've known her for many years now. This is the first time I've seen her this upset.

Of course, your relationship with her is your personal business. I don't have the authority to overstep here.

But as her brother, I can't stand to see her this hurt.

Yan Jin, don't go looking for her anymore.

Feng, did you have another reason for coming here today?

There is one thing...

I'd like to ask you to help me with.

Is Le Le's condition worsening?

Le Le's condition right now is still stable.

But the doctor said if she relapses again, we must do a bone marrow transplant.

I calculated it. The cost for surgery will be at least ¥400,000 or ¥500,000.

The online car-hailing business is not very good now.

I need to plan well for Le Le's surgery costs.

You know as well. It's hard to find a job with my background.

I remembered what you brought up last time.

You're recruiting for a purchasing manager. Is that job still available?

It's still there. I haven't found a suitable person for that position yet.

It'd be great if you took it.

It's just looking over the inventory.

Then looking over inventory. No need to work overtime.

Start with a monthly salary of ¥15,000. What do you think?

That'd be amazing, Yan Ji— No, no, Manager Yan.

- Thank you so much. - Not a problem.

You're my brother, of course.

Come to work next Monday.

Don't worry, I'll work hard.

Oh right! I haven't brought this up to Ji Xiao'ou

in fear that it would cause a misunderstanding.

I've already lost contact with Ji Xiao'ou, regardless.

So if you don't mention it to her, she won't find out.

Thank you so much.

Let me find someone to do the contract.

Not bad, Manager Yan.

In the span of two days, you made it like new again.

Check it out. Manager Yan has great taste.

All the materials used are eco-friendly. Take a sniff.

No scent at all.

- It must have taken a lot of effort. - My pleasure.

Regarding women, you need to be a little more strict.

Randomly furnishing the office, it's not necessary.

All right. Let's not talk about this anymore. Two friends are coming tonight. Can you arrange something?

Sure, no problem.

This sofa looks pretty nice.

As long as you like it. Try it out.

When will Wu Feng arrive in Liyuan?

Next Tuesday.

It's already hard enough. I've been waiting for him for half a month.

Wu Feng is superstitious. He won't even go out unless it's an auspicious day.

Even this time he asked three Buddhist masters to check the date before deciding on it.

Tell me the truth. How long are you planning to dawdle around with Yan Jin?

If you keep this up, we'll only be able to talk about feelings, not business.

Do you think that Yan Jin's feelings for you are real?

Last time, to test him, we destroyed Ji Xiao'ou's cafe.

Was that a normal reaction?

I don't know if it was normal or not.

I can tell that he's already set his mind to it.

I won't mind your personal relationship,

but I don't want Yan Jin to get involved in terms of our business.

What exactly did he do to you to make you this unable to work with him?

I think he's here with impure motives.

Whenever I recall he was a drug enforcement officer, I just don't feel comfortable.

Yan Jin hasn't just been with us for a day or two.

If there was some problem, then we should have seen it by now.

Don't forget.

He left the drug enforcement team after being wronged.

The last time's shooter still hasn't been found.

I still think it's something he staged.

Just so that you would feel moved by him.

There are only two reasons why he would do such a thing.

Either he wants to clean us out in one swoop,

or he wants to borrow our power to get a share of the pie.

Yan Jin must know what kind of business we're doing with Wu.

Everything about you is great.

You always have a wall up.

I don't understand.

There are so many people with potential in Liyuan.

Why must you pick Yan Jin?

What if something happens? We might have to die for it.

No need to be suspicious. But if you have doubts.

Whether Yan Jin has problems or not, all we have to do is keep testing him.

We have a good chance to figure that out through Wu's arrival.

You are ruthless.

We'll go along with your plan.

I'll tell you the ugly truth first.

If Yan Jin has problems...

You do whatever you want.

Listen to what you are saying.

You treat Zhan Yu pretty well according to your words.

I don't want to make excuses for myself.

I'm just stating the truth.

According to you,

you should be Zhan Yu's saver. He must be thankful to you, right?

I put so much trust in him,

and he almost got me killed.

Then, your partnership wasn't very smooth-going?

I really regret giving him this opportunity.

If I hadn't...
