=Episode 30=

But unfortunately,

my wife passed away that year.

We had no children,

so

I wanted to adopt a child.

My only request

was

two moles on the sole.

This kind of thing

depends on fate.

How could it be so coincidental?

But later,

a company

actually found a child

at an orphanage.

It was Haobo.

I was very happy then

and completed the adoption.

You said a company

helped you

find a child in an orphanage.

Do you still remember

that company's name?

It was Jiji Trading.

It was a small company then.

I never even met their director.

To thank them,

I gave some of our company's orders

to their company.

I admit

I had selfish motives

when adopting Haobo

back then.

But

after all these years,

this matter

has faded from my mind.

To me,

it really

doesn't matter

whether we're related by blood.

We're now

true father and son.

I've always kept

his background from him.

I didn't tell him

because I feared

it would trouble him.

Hello.

What is it?

Xiaoyu.

Do you remember me?

Xiaoyu?

I'm Mu Haobo.

Are you sure you got the right guy?

You're Luo Xiaoyu.

I'm your sister.

I've searched for you for years.

I finally found you.

I have no sister.

Please leave.

No, you're Luo Xiaoyu.

You have two black moles on your foot.

Remember?

Please leave.

Xiaoyu!

Leave, or I'll call police.

I'm your sister!

Xiaoyu!

- Xiaoyu, I didn't get the wrong guy. - Haobo.

What are you doing?

Calm down.

Come here.

Sit here first.

Haobo.

I have to tell you something.

All these years,

there's something

I've never told you.

I planned to keep it from you forever.

But it now seems

that I must tell you.

Actually...

Daddy.

Don't joke with me.

I...

I'm not your son?

You're my son,

but

we're not related by blood.

That young lady

is your birth sister.

Come here.

Come.

This is your birth sister.

Miss.

Why don't you

go back to Gangcheng with us?

You're my son's

sister,

so you're my daughter.

Haobo and I

will take good care of you.

Or

I can give you some money

as compensation.

Sir.

Thank you for taking care of my brother

for all these years.

I want nothing.

I just want to see my brother

grow so tall

and live so well.

I can rest assured.

I have only one request.

Go ahead.

Xiaoyu.

Remember.

Linshan will always be your home.

Director.

We found out that the company that helped Mu Zhenliang find a child

was the same one that Liu Gang told us about.

Have you checked the foreign firm?

Yes.

The local liaison is still gathering information.

But they gave us

a very important lead.

This company

has always worked with Dingshun.

And very frequently.

It points to Dingshun again.

How long have they cooperated?

Since 1995.

That was when Mu Zhenliang

came to Linshan.

(Dingshun.)

(Liu Gang.)

(Mu Zhenliang.)

(What is their connection?)

Yan Lei, Jiajia.

Go to Dingshun.

Check the foreign firm

Mu Zhenliang mentioned.

(Dingshun Group)

Sir, two officers are here.

Officer Yan.

You seem to be contacting

Dingshun a lot lately.

This time,

we want to ask

if Dingshun Group

has worked

with a foreign firm in Qinmang.

We've always had business in Southeast Asia.

Is that a problem?

Can you provide

their relevant documents?

Sorry.

I have a meeting now.

Zhou.

Assist the officers.

Excuse me.

(Virtue Carries All Things)

(Legal Representative: Ye Xiuming)

(Dingshun Group, Ye Xiuming) Jiji Trading has worked

with Dingshun since 1995,

importing and exporting dendrobium.

All contracts were signed with Ye Xiuming,

including Mu Zhenliang's.

I checked Dingshun's equity structure.

They changed it a few days ago.

Ye Xiuming is gone.

What a coincidence.

Right before Mu Zhenliang invested.

(Dingshun Group, Ye Xiuming, Cooperation, Fu Haochen)

How could it be so coincidental?

Liu Gang said Cripple was someone else.

Could it really be Ye Xiuming?

Everything points to Ye Xiuming.

Isn't it too deliberate?

Who would openly commit a crime?

Doesn't he want a deal?

I'll meet him in a few days.

Mr. Ye.

When did you come back?

Just now.

Sit for a while.

Why meet here?

Back

when I first came here,

I wanted to settle down

and build a career.

Zilin and I

lived in a cheap rental.

Later,

we started a small firm.

Oh right,

it was over there back then.

That building is abandoned now.

Whenever

we face trouble,

we come to this rooftop

for a drink,

a chat,

to think of a way out,

and look at the city.

Then you joined the company.

The three of us

have built Dingshun to its size now.

You and Zilin are the ones I trust most.

Without your help,

I could never have succeeded.

I've been reflecting these days.

I shouldn't have insisted on the tech firm.

I plan to return.

Let's fight side by side

and work as one again.

Mr. Ye.

I talked with Zilin.

We both think the tech firm

hit you hard.

In your current state,

you shouldn't run the company.

Mr. Ye.

Once I got your call,

I went through all past accounts.

Dingshun

did have dealings with a company in Gangcheng.

But I really found nothing

about that Mu fellow.

You also know

that Mr. Wu has always been involved

in our company's financial affairs.

But since you trust him,

I can't say much.

Are you saying

he's hiding something from me?

I can't say for sure,

but you did give him too much power.

If he hides something from you and tries something,

we can't stop him.

Tell me everything else

I don't know.

To be honest, Mr. Ye.

Mr. Wu

has never been pleased with me.

He thinks I'm on your side.

When the insurance case went wrong,

Mr. Wu used this as an excuse to fire me.

Mr. Wu told me

it was because

you failed to check the insurance form.

That's why he fired you.

Mr. Ye, he tricked you.

That insurance company

was brought in by him.

When I spotted the problem

and raised it with him,

he claimed it was your decision.

Why didn't you confirm with me back then?

Mr. Ye.

You were in Shencheng

and had no time,

so you let Mr. Wu handle it.

Is my oil painting pretty?

Sweetie.

Go nap in the room first, okay?

You look sleepy.

I'll tuck you in.

Madam.

Take her to nap first.

Give her to me.

Here.

Baby, time to sleep.

This is a toy basket,

not a trash bin.

No need to clean it.

Qian

will play again later.

She just brought them out

about 20 minutes ago.

Why clean it up?

It's pointless.

The mess bothers me.

You're at home every day,

either drinking or watching TV.

You keep getting wasted.

Don't you feel awful?

It's been over ten years.

I've only relaxed for a few days.

Isn't life

about being happy?

Wasted?

I wonder

if there's any joy left in this home.

I really wish

you'd stop drinking

and go out to have fun

with Qian and me.

Right?

The company is gone.

We can't live like this every day.

Everyone adjusts their mindset.

Let's not keep this up.

Pull yourself together.

I think I've done

a pretty good job for this family and you

over the past few decades.

Even if you disagree,

I still believe

I'm no less than Wu Bin

or anyone else.

What do you mean by that?

What do you mean by no less than Wu Bin?

What is your relationship?

What is my relationship with Wu Bin?

Why does that sound ridiculous?

What do you think it is?

Rumors in the company

have been going on for a long time.

I never believed them.

Have you heard?

Heard what?

Mr. Wu seems to

have feelings for Ms. Fang.

Don't talk nonsense.

Ms. Fang and Mr. Ye

have always

been a model couple envied by everyone.

How could outsiders

know about this?

Anyway,

Mr. Wu really takes special care of her.

Tell me.

Mr. Ye is now at a low point in his life.

How will things develop

among the three of them?

You're right.

What else do you know?

But now,

given the current situation,

I want to hear you explain

what's going on between you two.

You believe

the gossip from colleagues

in the company

and even question me.

You know very well

that the employees always hide behind the door

to eavesdrop

whenever we have meetings.

They don't know the truth yet,

so they go out and gossip.

You believe them instead of me?

It's not that I don't believe you.

I believe only facts.

Facts?

The fact is the company is gone.

And this family will also be gone soon.

I never thought

you two would join forces to betray me!

Wu Bin and I join forces to betray you?

Yes!

Now,

you two have kicked me out.

You won!

How did you become like this?

Hearing you say this

really breaks my heart.

Didn't you say

it's alright to cut you off?

You could get listed companies to invest in you again.

Weren't those your words?

Didn't I warn you

repeatedly not to do it?

I said we worked hard

to build this company from scratch.

You didn't listen...

How is it now that he and I

kicked you out?

What do you mean we won?

Isn't this family

ours together?

Is it yours or mine alone?

Just keep getting wasted.

At the end of the day,

your ability

doesn't match your ambition.

(Missing Person)

(Tuanyuan Restaurant)

(Missing Person)

Xiaoyu...

Sister.

I'm back.

Xiaoyu.

I found you.

(Tuanyuan Restaurant)

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

Liu Gang.

Figure out your current situation.

What right do you have to bargain with us?

I told you

I'll only talk to you alone.

Wait for me in the next room.

Speak.

What do you want to tell me?

Turn that off.

I have something important to tell you.

I promise

you'll want to know what I have to say.

You asked me to turn it off.

This was already recorded.

You bear the consequences yourself.

Can you speak now?

I want to

make a deal with you.

What deal?

I can tell you

Cripple's true identity.

Why didn't you tell us before?

This is my lifeline.

How could I tell you easily?

I

have to trade it for something.

What do you want?

Clear my charges

and get me out of here.

This is not a market.

You want to bargain with me?

Why not let me serve your time too?

Ye Xiuming.

Ye Xiuming is Cripple.

If I remember right,

Ye Xiuming is your cousin.

All these years,

he

always ordered me around from behind the scenes,

but I'm not stupid.

I still found some clues.

Guess what.

I found my orders came from Dingshun.

Whose company is Dingshun?

You know better than me.

There are so many people in Dingshun.

How can you prove

Ye Xiuming is Cripple?

I delivered a child to Fu Haochen,

and Dingshun got a 30 million deal.

Ye Xiuming gained the most.

If not him,

then who is Cripple?

Officer Deng.

No.

Director Deng.

Linshan's

biggest trafficker is your cousin.

Can you keep your position as director

of Anti-abduction Office?

How about this?

I'll keep your secret.

You clear my charges

and get me out.

We'll both win.

Officer Deng.

Today,

I've made myself very clear.

You know

better than me how to choose.

(I've made myself very clear.)

(You know)

(better than me how to choose.)

Deng Yan.

Stay out of this case

for the time being.

Chief Xiao.

I think we still need to verify

Liu Gang's statement.

What do you think?

Chang Rui.

You're now in charge of this case.

Report to Captain Han and me directly.

I think it's here.

I guess so.

Let's play with the doggy toy.

You can squat to look.

Look at the doggy.

Hello.

Who are you here for?

We're from Anti-abduction Office.

Is Ye Xiuming at home?

He's not home now.

Are you Deng Yan's colleagues?

Yes.

Can you reach him?

We need to ask him something.

Sure.

Sir.

The company you had me follow up on

is quite new,

but its record is quite clean.

We're now

speeding up the contract process.

It will take about three weeks.

One week.

Finish all contract procedures

within one week,

Yes, Sir.

(Dingshun Group)

Sir.

The two Qinmang companies you mentioned

had done a lot,

but they're not closely related to our company.

So I think we need to reconsider.

Reconsider what?

Did the company hire you to think?

We hired you to act.

Yes, Sir.

We'll speed it up.

Sir.

The three companies I reported before

have excellent credentials

and are willing to work with us,

but deciding which one to choose

still needs more thought.

All three are willing to work with us?

Yes.

Their funds and background are clean?

Yes.

Here's the thing.

The company is financially strong,

so I think

we don't need to work with just one.

Talk to all three.

Got it.

Sir.

The ones I contacted...

Hello?

Wu Bin.

I already

found out about some things.

Let's meet.

I still hope

we can talk face to face.

See you at the same place.

Okay.

No problem.

Sorry.

The number you dialed is temporarily...

I can't get through.

Hello, Wu?

Is Xiuming with you?

Nothing.

Well...

Okay, I'll hang up.

(Dingshun Group)

Sir.

The contracts with the foreign companies

I've contacted are now underway.

I'll sort out the details

and report at tomorrow's meeting.

Do you have other instructions or requests?

Let me know.

I'll sort them out

and report tomorrow as well.

Hello, Dong?

Is Xiuming with you?

No?

Okay then.

If you see him,

call me.

Bye.

Strange. If he's not at home,

he usually finds those two friends.

It's okay. Don't worry yet.

Maybe you'll get news soon.

Okay.

How is Xiuming's IT company

in Shencheng doing?

Not well.

It closed down.

What has he been doing lately?

Staying at home.

He's not doing much.

He's not in a good mood.

Sometimes he drinks.

He's demotivated.

Do you take part in Dingshun's operations?

I used to be very involved.

After having a child,

I spent more time and energy

on keeping her company.

Most matters are now

handled by Mr. Wu.

Okay.

If Xiuming comes back

or you contact him,

inform us immediately.

What's wrong with Xiuming?

It's still under investigation.

Thanks for your cooperation.

(Anti-abduction Office)

Ye Xiuming disappeared.

No one around him can reach him.

It's not even 24 hours yet.

It's too early for such a conclusion.

Did Fang Zilin

deliberately keep Ye Xiuming's whereabouts from us?

I don't think so.

Congratulations on your promotion, Wu.

Congratulations.

Come on, bottoms up.

Mr. Wu.

Now that you're the chairman,

look after us.

Here.

I

wish you continuous promotion and success.

May you soar to great heights across the whole country.

You first call me Mr. Wu.

Then call me a chairman.

So what am I exactly?

Mr. Wu can only help you with this.

A chairman can help you with that.

I'm sorry, Mr. Wu.

I'm sorry, Mr. Wu.

Alright.

Let's eat.

Mr. Wu.

That is nothing.

Let me show him how it's done.

Let me.

Feng, wait.

I will go first.

Mr. Wu, I'll

finish this.

Let's drink together.

Bottoms up.

Come on. Bottoms up.

No more.

The liquor is finished.

There's no way the liquor is finished.

Zhang.

Coming!

Bring the liquor I stored here.

Alright, one moment.

How can we drink yours?

Since everyone thinks so highly of me,

try my liquor later.

Tonight,

we drink till we drop.

Mr. Wu, this is the quality liquor you stored here.

Zhang.

This food is enough.

We might drink longer today.

If you have plans,

head back first.

Enjoy your meal and drinks then, Mr. Wu.

Alright.

This liquor is clearly of high quality.

Here.

Taste it.

Here, a toast to you.

Mr. Wu, here.

What's wrong with him?

He drank too much.

He can't hold his liquor.

I

can drink

well.

(Anti-abduction Office)

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

(This)

is the list of all companies that signed contracts with Lu Sheng's company

(Party B, Dingshun Group) when Zheng Weiwei was kidnapped.

(Legal Representative: Ye Xiuming) Dingshun Group?

Ye Xiuming.

Ye Xiuming is Cripple.

(All these years,)

(he)

(always ordered me around from behind the scenes,)

(but I'm not stupid.)

I still found some clues.

I found my orders came from Dingshun.

(Whose company is Dingshun?)

(You know better than me.)

(Cripple)

(How much truth is in his words?)

(After hunting criminals for so many years,)

(Old Yellow Dog) (is a huge criminal organization)

(Madam Hong) (being quietly built under my nose?)

(Tianhai Lucky) (No one even noticed it.)

(Dingshun Group, Ye Xiuming)

(Impossible.)

(But)

(if not him,)

(why are so many cases linked to him?)

(Dingshun Group)

(Tianhai Lucky)

(Cripple) (Dingshun Group, Ye Xiuming)

(Could there be other beneficiaries?)

(Everything points to Ye Xiuming.)

(Isn't it too deliberate?)

(Who would openly commit a crime?)

(I just want to know)

if Lu Sheng's case

has a big impact on Dingshun?

Yes.

Our company's entire cash flow is extremely tight right now.

The hole is so big.

I don't even know how to fill it.

So who pulled the strings

for Lu Sheng's matter?

Our vice president.

(Cripple.)

(What are you really after with this move?)

(Is there really)

(other beneficiaries?)

Sorry, Mr. Ye.

I'm late.

Wu Bin.

This is an equity transfer agreement.

I've signed it.

Sign it now.

Return to me

all the shares

I transferred to you.

Mr. Ye.

You should know

this is not up to me alone.

You scum!

Have you forgotten your place?

When you came to this company,

you started as a driver.

I trusted you,

making you project manager

and then vice president.

Now you run the company.

You're ungrateful!

I'm ungrateful?

Yes!

Let me tell you.

My success today

is due to my own ability!

Think about it.

Does Dingshun's success today have anything to do with you?

Nonsense!

Zilin told me to trust you.

I gave you a chance.

Or you would be nothing.

Don't mention Zilin!

What have you done for her?

Zilin and I built Dingshun.

After I came to Dingshun,

Zilin got to live a good life!

When she was with you,

she lived in a shabby tiny room.

What did you give her?

Nothing!

Let me tell you, Ye Xiuming.

I'm the one providing for you now!

You're just a lowlife!

Don't you know what you did?

What do you mean?

I have all the evidence

of your crimes.

The insurance company for the dendrobium order

that Lu Sheng handled is fake.

(You're suspected of embezzlement.)

(Signing Ceremony)

(To kick me out,)

(you brought in Mu Zhenliang,)

(who's skeptical of tech companies,)

(and diluted Zilin's shares,)

(seizing the chairman post.)

(Also,)

(the child you gave to Fu Haochen.)

(Where did you get her?)

Was she abducted?

Otherwise, why would Anti-abduction Office investigate me?

Turn yourself in now.

You can still repent.

Mr. Ye.

Do you think

I would ever

turn myself in?

I'll help you repent then.

Spend

the rest of your life

in prison!
