[Mo Yuan Zhi, CEO]

I already knew you when you were just a student.

I've been following your research all this time.

In this round of interviews,

if I say I'll give you the highest standard

of employee benefits and subsidies, will you join us?

- Mr. Mo. - I'm also a fellow alumnus.

I'm here because I'm interested in Moma's RAN Project.

I don't want to hide anything.

My mother had a car accident last year.

She's still in a vegetative state.

I believe RAN's future development

will include gene-based drugs for neuronal repair.

I'm doing all this to save my mother.

You know what? I once saw some statistics.

Among researchers in the field of genetics,

56 percent have family members suffering from some disease.

We all do our best for our loved ones.

While saving our family,

we're also saving others' families.

Trust me.

Right now, no one understands you more than I do.

As long as you join Moma,

I'll provide all the materials you need for research.

Rest assured, do whatever you want.

I'm willing to join Moma.

[Episode 3]

[December 12, 2024]

Morning, Qi.

Morning.

You work so much every day, yet you still box in the mornings.

Isn't it tiring?

It is.

So, I need to recover every morning.

To be honest, I'm really sorry that you police officers have to follow

and protect me every day lately.

I always wonder if my life is worth your protection.

To the police, everyone's life is worth protecting.

This is my schedule for today.

Sorry I didn't send it to you earlier.

Every day, other than my morning workout, [Schedule]

my work schedule can only be confirmed on the same morning.

Speech at Ivy Bay University and the Zhaos' wedding...

With such late notice for crowded events,

we can't allocate manpower.

Can you cancel them?

The speech at Ivy Bay University was scheduled a month ago.

I already canceled on them twice.

I can't postpone it again, as the holidays are near.

As for the Zhaos' wedding...

I have no choice as a businessman.

The Zhaos are my biggest clients.

I can't skip the wedding.

Mr. Mo.

We can't protect you at such events.

And if something happens, it may implicate others.

There will be hell to pay.

It's been 15 days since I received Squid's threat.

Nothing's happened.

So, do you think Squid will show up?

We're not your playmates in some game.

Please be cooperative.

Sorry for the trouble.

But if I don't show up now, no one will trust Moma.

So, whether you're around today or not,

all these matters are things I have to handle.

I have no right to restrict your freedom.

Thank you.

- Morning, Mr. Mo. - Morning.

- Morning, Mr. Mo. - Morning.

- Morning, Mr. Mo. - Morning.

- Morning, Mr. Mo. - Morning.

By the way, I'll be meeting someone in the office to discuss private matters.

I don't want outsiders to know too much.

I'm only responsible for your safety.

I'm not interested in your private life.

Will it jeopardize your safety?

No.

Fang Lu, how is it going at the school?

This speech seems like a big deal.

It's like the whole school is here.

How can we control such a crowd?

Request backup from the boss

and ask the school to strengthen security.

So troublesome.

I found the concert ticket you asked for.

I don't think you should complain.

So, you'd better examine the venue carefully.

- Do you hear me? - Okay, I'll get to it right now.

Pei Shan.

Contact Xinghua Hotel to get the guest list and staff list

of the Zhaos' wedding as soon as possible.

Troubleshooting, right?

Yes.

The marriage of Zhao Shi Jie's only daughter is a big deal in Hua Ao.

Those who attend must be rich or noble,

with strong personal security measures.

So, we should focus on watching Mo Yuan Zhi.

Okay.

Check the stage later.

Okay.

- Morning, Dr. An. - Morning.

Dr. An.

I'm sorry.

Dr. An.

Mr. Mo.

Sit.

[Moma Biotechnology]

An Lan.

Come in during the second half of the meeting.

Wait for me in the rest area.

Just now... what did you talk about with Mr. Mo?

Officer Ding, didn't you say not to talk to strangers?

I'll leave you to it.

I can wait outside for a while.

- Qi. - Yes?

Mr. Mo wants to promote me.

Verification failed.

Verification failed.

- Hello. - Leave the takeout over there.

I'm not here to deliver food.

I used to be a technician at this company.

You must have met me before.

I'm here today to see the HR manager.

Can you let me in?

Do you have her phone number?

Why don't you call her directly?

She should be busy. She didn't pick up the phone.

We have an appointment.

Please let me in, okay?

That's against the rules.

I really have an appointment.

Please let me in.

Ms. Cai.

I signed the resignation agreement three months ago.

But I still haven't received the compensation.

I can't even pay my mortgage.

- Look at me now. - What's wrong with you?

Wasn't it clear in the notice?

The company found that you violated the rules.

We can't pay the compensation for now.

I didn't break the rules, Ms. Cai.

Then I'll go to Mr. Mo!

I'll ask him exactly which rule I violated!

Mr. Mo has no time to see you.

Just wait.

Promoting you now?

The next development of RAN technology

is neuronal repair, which is my research field.

And no one in Moma Biotech

is more experienced or skilled in it than me.

For Moma, you're the most competent candidate.

But things are complicated with the company right now.

- I think... - I'm sure... there will be an uproar.

On December 12, at 10:15 A.M.,

a multi-vehicle collision occurred at the M15 junction near Highway 1,

resulting in three deaths and many serious injuries.

Paramedics have rushed to the scene to carry out rescue operations.

You're not trying to persuade me to go home this time?

If this is what you want, then...

Then what?

I'll take care of every...

Well, how long are you going to protect Mr. Mo this time?

Well, I don't know yet.

Will you be in danger?

What happened?

I accidentally broke a cup.

All good.

Come on.

Let's resume the meeting.

[Experimental Area of R&D Center]

Dr. An.

Dr. An.

[Restricted Area - A1]

Dr. An.

What's going on?

Boss, I'll go take a look.

Officer, what's going on ahead?

We're handling a situation.

The road is closed for now.

Road's closed, I see.

Boss, I don't know what happened ahead.

We can't pass through now.

We can't be late.

- Take another route. - Got it, Boss.

[You're not authorized to access this page on the company's intranet.]

Around 11 A.M. today, [Ivy Bay University]

someone tried to jump from the top floor of Yuehai Building,

the tallest building on Paris Middle Street.

The stalemate with the police lasted for several hours,

causing large-scale congestion in traffic and on nearby streets.

As of now, the victim has been rescued by the police.

Reports state that the suicide attempt was

due to failed stock investments.

Dr. Mo! Dr. Mo!

Hello, Principal.

Long time no see.

Thank you.

Thank you, Dr. Mo, for accepting my invitation.

- Of course. - Look at the enthusiastic welcome.

Dr. Mo! Dr. Mo!

- Follow me. - Make way, please!

Make way!

Dr. Mo! Dr. Mo!

Hello.

Later, let's meet in the auditorium, okay?

- Thank you! - Okay.

Come on.

I'll say it again.

If anything happens...

don't get others involved.

I know why you agreed.

If you protect me too well, Squid will never appear.

Then you have to keep staying by my side.

You and your team are beyond exhausted.

To be honest...

I'm exhausted, too.

Hello, professors.

Hello, students.

I'm your fellow student and alumnus, Mo Yuan Zhi.

[Moma Biotechnology]

First of all, it's an honor

to receive the principal's invitation to give a speech here.

But I refused at first.

Because I think I haven't achieved much success,

and I'm not fond of such preaching either.

It's a bit repulsive, right?

So, I rejected the principal twice.

Then the principal told me I'd be paid.

So, I told him that as a CEO,

I should give the students some advice. Don't you agree?

Here's the first lesson. You must learn to be flexible.

No, no. There's no pay.

I'm not paid! It's just a joke!

I'm sure you've been keeping up with the news.

Yes.

While Moma Group has achieved some success,

we've also offended many people.

To be honest, it's a miracle that I'm standing here

and interacting with you with all four limbs intact.

Because just a few days ago, I received a death threat.

It's not some prank but an official death notice.

I was working at the computer,

when suddenly a huge squid flashed onto my screen.

It was very scary-looking.

It looked at me and said,

"I'll kill you."

I asked why.

It replied, "Uh..." Then my antivirus software killed it.

So I thought I didn't have to worry

with such shabby skills.

But this matter has indeed been bothering me.

That very night, I had a nightmare.

In my nightmare, a bunch of squids were chasing me.

While chasing me, they kept yelling.

"Yuan Zhi! Yuan Zhi!"

When I turned around, they sprayed ink on my face and yelled,

"Mo Yuan Zhi! Mo Yuan Zhi!" (T/N: "Mo" means ink)

[Life is not an experiment!]

Calm down! Calm down, please! [Boycott Moma Bio]

What's that noise?

There are protesters here, seemingly against genetic engineering.

Boycott Moma Biotechnology!

Keep them in check. Don't let them in.

Got it!

Calm down! [Don't turn lives into experiments!]

Calm down, please!

Everyone!

You hear that, right? It's so lively outside.

Yes.

I know many people oppose Moma and our genetic research.

They say we're violating the laws of nature.

We won't stop those who say that.

They're free to go up to the mountains and go down to the sea.

They can go back to nature they extol.

And we will continue to challenge the laws of nature.

Why?

Because in today's state of technological advancement,

why should we give the right to decide our life and death to nature?

It doesn't make sense!

The reason we humans can keep improving for generations

is that we keep going against fate.

Okay. Some of you might think that

the notion of going against fate sounds sacrilegious. It doesn't matter.

Let my team and me do this sacrilegious deed.

We'll take the blame.

I just hope that when we succeed,

all of us can experience, feel, and receive the medical benefits

in this technological era!

If... If... this is considered sacrilege,

then I, Mo Yuan Zhi, am sacrilegious.

- So what? - Bravo!

Nice!

Kai.

Watch the girl with the bouquet.

Genetic engineering is going against the grain.

I believe our RAN technology will someday help you

and all of humanity go against the grain.

- Flowers from the school council. - Thank you.

This has been your student and alumnus, Mo Yuan Zhi.

Bravo!

Dr. Mo, these are for you.

Thank you.

Kai!

I just want an autograph.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Let me sign it for you.

- Sorry. Thank you. - Thank you.

This way. Sorry.

This little episode has truly shown how popular Dr. Mo really is.

All right. Now, it's time for the Q&A.

We're not limited to academic questions.

Feel free to ask anything you want.

All right, let's get started.

That male student over there.

Yes.

Hello, Dr. Mo.

As RAN technology develops,

will there be more and more diseases that can be cured through it?

In that case, will traditional pharmaceutical companies go bust?

Thank you for your astute question.

Please sit.

Actually, I really hope RAN technology

will make greater contributions to mankind in the future.

This has always been a prime goal of Moma.

As for your second question, I've thought about it.

In the future, there might be better and more novel technologies that replace RAN.

It's not a bad thing.

Being replaced is a concern for every business.

Not being replaced is what motivates for Moma to keep going.

That female student there.

Hello, Dr. Mo. I'm a sophomore.

If I'm interested in joining Moma after graduation,

what's the most important factor?

The most important factor is that...

when you graduate in two years, Moma hasn't gone bust.

We value three qualities when hiring:

confidence, honesty, and persistence.

I believe these are also the qualities of science.

- Let's barge in. - Go inside!

Hurry! Go in!

- Mo Yuan Zhi! - Get out, Mo Yuan Zhi!

- Boycott Moma Bio! - Life is not an experiment!

Mo Yuan Zhi, get out of here!

Boycott Mo Yuan Zhi!

Is this what you want?

Protect human genes!

Boycott Moma Biotechnology!

- Kai! Call the car over! - Got it!

Sorry!

Yuan Zhi, it's our fault. Our security was too lax.

- Step back! - Back off! Back off!

Back off!

Back off!

Calm down!

Silence! Everyone, step back!

Back off! Silence!

Mr. Mo! Mr. Mo!

Stay away!

Mr. Mo! Is it wrong for me to ask for my money?

Let go of me!

Freeze!

Step back!

[Boycott Moma Biotechnology]

Freeze!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mr. Mo, please get in.

Follow Mo Yuan Zhi.

I'll interrogate those two.

- Leave it to us. - Yes, Boss.

Yay, I caught the Squid.

Boss caught him, not you.

I mean I handcuffed him.

You get some credit, too.

Stop bragging and get a move on.

What's the hurry? Squid has been caught.

Relax.

Based on initial analysis, the liquid in the syringe is a neurotoxin.

Anyone injected will soon die of organ failure.

This is an experimental drug from You Yu Xiang's lab.

You Yu Xiang.

A lab researcher and former associate professor at Ivy Bay University.

You were stripped of your professorship

after being reported for online harassment due to academic issues.

Long time no see.

Congratulations, Mr. Zhao!

Congratulations!

- Long time no see. - Yes.

Hello.

Congratulations!

Welcome!

You're Fu Jun, a former Moma technician fired three months ago,

and you've yet to receive compensation.

Right?

Yes.

I hate them.

I hate their company and their top management.

They're a group of people under the cloak of being scientists

when they're actually bloodsucking profiteers.

I abhor them!

Why do you want to kill Mo Yuan Zhi?

What?

Kill him?

That's not true.

What do you mean? What murder?

I was taking a syringe to the lab.

The crowd squeezed me in.

- Once I was in, you pressed me to the ground. - You Yu Xiang!

We have the witness and evidence.

Saying all this is meaningless.

Did you think no one would find out if you killed someone in the chaos?

Fine.

Sure. Okay.

Convict me. Sentence me.

F-Finish the procedure.

I'm not afraid of anything.

Did you organize that student protest, too?

They didn't break the law.

They followed my instructions.

Kill me or ruin me as you wish.

Leave them out of it.

What did you want? Your salary?

Officer, I was at my wit's end.

I went to HR, but they ignored me.

So, I could only go to Mr. Mo.

I can no longer pay my mortgage.

My whole family depends on me. I'm completely broke.

How many times did you simulate the murders

of Han Song and Tang Shao Rong?

Why did you switch to such a direct method?

Why?

Why today?

When Tang Shao Rong and Han Song died,

You Yu Xiang wasn't in Hua Ao.

He does have an alibi.

Also, in his house and office,

there's no explosive residue from any explosives.

Kai.

Kai!

What's wrong, Boss?

Neither of them is Squid.

All of you, protect Mo Yuan Zhi!

- Got it. - Got it.

This morning, celebrity Fang Zhou appeared in a cafe

and was surrounded by fans, resulting in a stampede.

The injured have been sent to the hospital.

Next, let's welcome the newlyweds to share their sweet happiness

with everyone here.

Bride and groom, please.

I'm here. Where are you?

- On the lawn. - Where is Mo Yuan Zhi?

With us.

Kai!

Kai!

Kai.

Kai!

Fang Lu.

Fang Lu!

Please wait outside.

Sorry. Only staff are allowed.

You can't go in, sorry.

Do you regret it?

I told you not to do it.

You're the one... who insisted on bringing them here!

Why did you accept this mission?

Kai...

He is an only son.

His 70-year-old parents are waiting at home for him.

Fang Lu joined our team less than three years ago.

She's inexperienced.

I told you to take good care of them.

But what have you done?

How will you explain to their families?

How will you explain to them?

Let go of me!

How will you explain to their families?

Reflect on yourself!

The day's been reset.

It's a loop day today.
