"Memory of an Elephant" by Fang Wu

[Wacko At Law]

(Previous Episode Review) The murderer of both Appraiser Pan and Zhenglian's CEO is Guo Zhi Wei.

Who has the ability to hire a murderer?

That's the best laundering solution.

- Since it's like that, then please accept the painting, Mrs. Mo. - Mom.

You really like him?

Are you trying to find the real reason of your father's death?

You can not take on both of them.

As long as you can convince me, I will utilize my power.

Deal. Curiosity killed the cat.

I have someone in my heart who I really like.

She's just lying to you. There's no way she loves Mo Ji Ping.

How would you know?

[Episode 12]

Because I know that the person she truly loves is Mai Da Qi.

It's just that you don't know.

What are you talking about?

I'm not some kind of sadist.

She clearly loves him but still lie to you about liking someone else.

If it's like that, then why didn't she tell me?

Because you're her opponent. She has wanted to help out her little sister since the beginning.

I don't believe that.

The Appraiser's murder case... she was listed as a major suspect.

However, she insisted on replacing her appointed lawyer midway. Do you know why?

You won't be able to get the truth out of her, so I'll tell you.

Because she's afraid of facing you and Mai Da Qi.

She's afraid that she'll sink deeper and deeper, unable to free herself.

She didn't want to hurt you, so she decided to leave.

She told me these things herself. If you understand her,

then you'll be curious as to why she chose to live in the Mo house.

Why did she suddenly change? Is it because she wanted to regain a happy family with Mrs. Mo?

Or is it because she wanted to avoid you and Mai Da Qi?

No matter what the reason is, you should care about her more than I do, right?

Oh right, every time you see him you discover new surprises and discoveries.

Like I thought he was very arrogant at first, but then he apologized to me the next second.

I always thought he was very cruel, but he was just very dedicated.

Do you... like Da Qi?

Of course not!

Tell me honestly.

Actually, the one who is really hopeless is me.

Maybe Mai Da Qi was right.

Loving Wan Ting was my obsessive-compulsive disorder, right?

I'm sorry, I was supposed to be asking you for help but...

Are you all right?

Tian Yu Xin openly scolding someone means that the other party can still be saved.

If Tian Yu Xin is not openly scolding someone, then that means

the other party can't be saved, right?

Looks like someone needs more sugar today.

Vanilla Latte.

Speak. You asked me to wait for you, what did you want to tell me?

What's wrong?

You...

Do you also like Da Qi?

Everyone likes Da Qi, right?

- As long as they know him, they will like Da Qi. - I'm not talking about that kind of like.

Wu Jing Tao told that you told him yourself,

- you changed lawyers because— - If I said I didn't, will you believe me?

What else did Wu Jing Tao tell?

Did he say that I went into the Mo Family for materials and money?

Did he say that I played hard to get to him, used him and deceived his feelings?

Or did he say that I wanted to go between you and Da Qi as a mistress?

No.

He just said... you also like Da Qi.

Fine. Then let me tell you the truth.

I refused him.

He couldn't get me so he made up such lies to slander me

and separate us. But you believed him and are sitting here questioning me right now.

I'm not questioning you.

I just couldn't believe things have turned out this way.

Wu Jing Tao told me that you left because of me so that's why I feel really worried.

Yu Xin.

I understand you worry about me.

Because if the same thing happened to you,

I would also be worried.

We are like conjoined babies.

If one is happy, the other one will also be happy.

If one is sad, then the other one will also be sad.

How unlucky.

However, you're just thinking about it too much today.

But the more I think about it, the stranger it gets.

You suddenly accepted your mom.

You suddenly moved into the Mo Family and suddenly got closer and closer to Mo Ji Ping. None of this makes sense.

Then did you forget? My first impression of Mai Da Qi was a disaster.

I slapped him in the face.

The person Da Qi likes is you.

Don't be affected by what Wu Jing Tao says.

Da Qi is very important to me.

You are also very important to me.

- If you like Da Qi— - But I don't like him.

If you want to talk about that 'like', then that must be

appreciation of his professional abilities.

It's different from your hopeless 'like'.

If you don't believe me, then I don't know what else to do.

Fine. Then let me ask you.

Do you also like Mo Ji Ping hopelessly like this?

But Ji Ping and I have just started.

There should be many possibilities.

That person is very dangerous.

What do you mean?

I didn't want to tell you.

However, we suspect

that the deaths of Appraiser Pan Yi Da and Zhan Guo Huang from Zhenglian Biotechnology

is all of Mo Ji Ping's doing.

Do you guys have evidence yet?

We're still looking.

- Then did the prosecutor sue him? - No.

I think Mo Ji Ping is very similar to me.

We both live in other people's misunderstandings, just like

how Wu Jing Tao thinks I am a gold digger.

You think I like Da Qi. Everyone is suspecting that Mo Ji Ping killed someone.

Wan Ting, what are you saying?

How can you associate yourself with Mo Ji Ping?

Enough, I know you're telling me to be careful.

I promise you that I will be cautious. Okay?

You have a huge vinegar bucket. Wow, it's so sour! (T/N: vinegar in this context means 'jealousy')

What vinegar bucket? You know I didn't mean it like that.

Enough, let me bring you a piece of cake. We can split it in half.

You made me so hungry.

Oh right.

Let me tell you, I don't think I can interact with Wu Jing Tao anymore. So wicked.

If he comes to Bee Café again, I'll...

I'll tell him to get out. I'm the boss here.

But when I think about how Wan Ting suffered because of me,

I really feel like hitting myself.

She didn't suffer because of you.

I'm guessing that she returned to her mother because she wanted to uncover the truth from 18 years ago.

What she experienced when she was 7 years old,

the less she talked about it, the more it meant she didn't forget.

Do you mean she wants to take revenge?

That's why I'm worried.

What?

L365.

Wan Ting did it for L365.

She entered the Mo family,

not to reconcile with her mother but maybe, as you said,

she wanted the truth and to take revenge.

And another reason

is to save you.

How did she find out about L365?

I told her.

Everyone wants to save me, yeah?

Doctor Tang, you, Xiao Ke,

and now Wan Ting. But for what? I don't need to be saved.

- Da Qi. - I don't want anyone to be in danger and get hurt because of me.

So what if I die? What's the big deal?

Do you know what you just said?

Don't you understand what I mean?

I'm afraid of losing you, don't you know that?

Even if you lose me, you'll still be living well.

- What do you think of me? - I'm speaking the truth.

"So what if I die, what's the big deal?"

Exactly.

Mai Da Qi...

you're really from another world.

And what am I, who lives in this world?

You are you.

Tian Yu Xin doesn't just exist for the sake of Mai Da Qi!

Go on.

Go on then!

Why do you say such words to hurt me?

What are you thinking?

Or have you stopped caring after Xiao Kai left?

You've stopped caring for me too.

Did you fight?

Li Sheng Tai. Born to a landlord's family.

He's good at turning property assets into financial assets.

He'll invest in anything as long as there's money to be made.

Especially in the booming biotech industry.

His net worth is now NT$9 billion.

Just like Mo Shang De, he has a great image and a wide network.

He's donated to many charity organizations.

Yu Xin's afraid of you, and I'm afraid of her.

She won't cause you trouble, but she'll cause me some.

You should accommodate her more.

She's decided to be with you, and that's a 5-star difficulty task.

Actually, I'm afraid.

You don't even fear death, what are you afraid of?

I'm afraid of what Yu Xin is afraid of.

I'm afraid of her tears when she'll lose me.

I'm afraid of her grief when she'll miss me.

But being afraid is pointless for me.

I have no idea how the future will pan out.

Right now, I just want to cherish the time we have together.

Madam, all the dishes for tonight have been served.

Okay.

Let's eat.

Have some chicken.

Thank you.

The Mo Family's business is huge, isn't it?

It started just like any other traditional family business.

The only pity is that our future prospects don't look as good as before.

Any investments in the new industries?

Because I saw a lot of biotech books in the study room.

Isn't there a company called Pingkang Biotechnology?

Did the Mo Family invest in that company?

Pingkang Biotechnology?

That was a long time ago.

What does the company do?

I'm not too sure myself.

I think it closed down after 2-3 years.

Such a short life.

That's what cutting-edge industries are like. There are high prospects and high risks.

It's not easy for traditional industries to get out of it.

But if it succeeds,

the profits should be incredible, right?

That depends on luck.

I'm just a director by name

and don't run the company. I am just free-riding if there're profits.

Why are you suddenly so interested in this?

Are you thinking of working at our company?

I can't even get my accounts right,

I think I'm better off running a café.

- Are you back already? - I'm back.

Mrs. Wang, Ji Ping is back.

Mrs. Wang's signature dishes!

Wan Ting, you have to try this.

Director Mo, welcome home. Enjoy.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

How is it? Have you gotten used to living here?

Do you need anything?

Everything is great.

Good, that's great. If you need anything, just let Mrs. Wang—

No, just let me know directly. I'll bring you to buy it.

You don't have to, you're so busy. I'll do it.

Auntie, it's hard for me to have a reason to spend time alone with Wan Ting.

Don't ruin my chances.

Fine.

I have no problem shopping together.

I'm just worried that I'm taking up your time.

Don't worry. With my smartphone, I can work anywhere.

- Here. - Eat.

Here's the soup.

Come, try Mrs. Wang's soup.

It's very good. Try it.

Director Mo. Enjoy.

Take a sip.

Feels nice.

Eat more.

[Pingkang Biotechnology's employee list]

[Zhan Guo Huang]

What's wrong?

You're really not going?

No.

Without you, I can't control Brother Da Qi.

What if we end up buying a pile of junk food?

I said I'm not going. Why should I care what he eats?

High in sugar. High in calories.

Maybe even trans fats.

Just thinking of it gives me a stomachache.

Are you really not going?

Wang Ke Rong, let me repeat one last time.

I'm not going. If I go, I'll change my last name to Mai.

Okay. I'm leaving now.

What if Da Qi eats garbage and "shuts down" early?

It's raining. How are you planning to go there?

I'll fetch you.

Quick!

There's no rush.

I'm here for business matters.

That's harsh. What business matters?

So please don't get the wrong idea.

Wrong idea? What the wrong idea is?

That I'm being too good to you. That I'm concerned for your health.

I won't have the wrong idea. Go ahead.

I'm wondering whether we should warn Mrs. Mo to be careful or not.

But I'm not sure if she's in cahoots with Mo Ji Ping.

In the appraiser's murder case, Mrs. Mo identified Guo Zhi Wei. That means—

Put that back.

- Where was I just now? - "Put that back."

- No, no, no! - Guo Zhi Wei.

Guo Zhi Wei, right! Since they don't know each other,

it means that maybe Mrs. Mo didn't know he was instructed by Mo Ji Ping.

After carefully thinking it through, I feel that we can trust Mrs. Mo.

That's my deduction.

Okay, let's go with what you said.

That's all?

This is fine, right?

There's really no problem with what I just said?

No problem. I just feel very thirsty, what should I drink?

What can I drink?

This! It's a classic!

You might not know it, but many people love drinking this.

If you want to drink, you should drink tea made from real tea leaves.

- Is it good? - Of course!

There's even a gentle jasmine flower scent.

Mai Yu Xin!

It's Mai-Tian Yu Xin.

[British Virgin Islands Shangtianwei Co. Ltd.] [Total: 500,000,000]

I've already highlighted the key part. Can't you see the problem?

- These two— - These two offshore companies are registered in the British Virgin Islands.

During the Zhenglian Biotechnology tunneling fraud case, NT$500 million was transferred to them.

I don't believe that a professional accountant would fail to take notice.

I only do the accounts. I can't possibly know my client's every single transaction.

- Miss. Jian— - The one who wanted to kill you could be Mo Ji Ping of Mo Group Enterprise, did you know?

That is my question too.

Miss Jian, do you really want to cover up for Mo Ji Ping?

I don't know what you're saying.

You can turn state's evidence,

accept safe residence from the police,

and receive 24/7 secure protection.

No one can harm you.

I really don't know the source of that transaction.

But... there's indeed an issue with the Mo Family's accounts.

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

I really don't know the source of that transaction.

But... there's indeed an issue with the Mo Family's accounts.

What issue?

The transactions were happening too frequently.

Do you suspect money laundering?

I don't know and didn't want to ask too many questions.

Which companies made transactions with Mo Group Enterprise?

Companies that we can't find from the account statements?

Xiangfeng Electric., Dayang Finances, Meiying Industry,

and Shengtai Investment Consulting.

Shengtai Investment Consulting?

CEO Li Sheng Tai,

who is the father-in-law of He Yu Ren, the former Chairman of Renxin Hospital.

Who would have thought that CEO Li has ties with Mo Group Enterprise too?

Wu Jing Tao is the legal counsel for both Director Li and Renxin Hospital. I'm not sure if he's involved.

We have to be careful and not say too much the next time we see him.

I'll ask Xiao Ke to look into CEO Li. As for me, I'll check the victims of the tunneling fraud case once more.

What's wrong?

You've said all there is to say. What could be wrong?

You've really performed well today.

Really?

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I've long forgotten how to protect you ♫

♫ I will be responsible for your tomorrow ♫

♫ In order to prove the depth of my love ♫

That's all?

Dad, Yu Ren knows he made a mistake.

He feels very sorry and wants to apologize to you in person.

No need for that. I don't want to see him. He doesn't deserve it.

CEO Li, based on past cases, less than 10% are sentenced to more than 2 years for fraud and breach of trust.

Chairman He is a first-time offender, so he should be able to get a suspended sentence.

He's destroyed once he gets a criminal record. What's the use of telling me this rubbish?

Lawyer Wu, I'm really disappointed at how you handled this case.

You can't even handle such a small thing.

Now everybody knows and I'm the butt of the joke.

If Chairman He had been truthful from the beginning, the outcome could have been different.

If everything has to be clearly spelled out to you,

then that just means you're not good enough.

How are things going with Xiao Yi?

Didn't I ask you to bring her back soon?

I tried persuading her, but she wouldn't come back with me.

You're her real mother, can't you move her with your affections?

She is very close to the Wang family.

And her personality is not the same as Yun Yun. I—

Get it clear! Who is your biological daughter?

She was abandoned by her father since birth.

For 14 years, all the luxury that belonged to her

was stolen by an outsider!

If it were you, would you not feel any resentment?

Can you put some effort into it?

You didn't even know what your other half did!

You've been duped for more than 10 years like a fool!

What kind of Chairman's wife are you? You're really stupid beyond saving!

Lawyer Wu, please think of something to make Xiao Yi come back to her family. The sooner, the better.

If the person involved has no wish to return, I suggest that we don't rush things.

This is the Li family's bloodline. We want her back, even if it means fighting in court!

We might have legal means. But if she appeals to public opinion, you might lose your reputation.

I believe that CEO Li probably doesn't want to see that.

Don't forget that all your big clients

were recommended by me.

I'll do my best.

If you want to know more about Mo Ji Ping,

why don't you ask him directly?

Mrs. Mo, we invited you over today especially to tell you

we suspect that Mo Ji Ping hired a contract killer.

Hired a contract killer?

Are you joking?

Mrs. Mo, it seems like you and Mo Ji Ping have some communication problems.

What do you mean?

That's just my observation.

We do indeed have differences in opinion.

But I don't believe he would hire a killer.

Differences in opinion?

As the company's legal representative, I am legally responsible for it.

He often asks for my signature and stamp, but wouldn't let me manage the company.

To be honest, sometimes it makes me feel uneasy.

Ever since Mo Ji Ping took over the company, many plants have closed down. Surely you know this?

Of course, I know this.

It's also a fact that the company has been burning through its resources.

The economy has been bad locally and internationally in recent years. No matter who runs the company, it would be the same.

If that's the case, why were there large volumes of transactions?

Transactions?

For example, NT$500 million that was transferred from offshore accounts.

Is that the case? I'll have to ask him about it.

It's all right. If you don't know, you don't have to ask him. We don't want to alert the enemy.

Alert the enemy? Are you really treating him as the murderer?

You're Wan Ting's mother. I don't want any harm to come to you or her.

You're overthinking things.

No matter what, please be careful.

Thanks for your concern.

As long as I'm here, Wan Ting will not be harmed.

What were you doing then?

- That's my dad's. - What's that? - Libra scales.

I've not heard of that.

- But he was smiling— - Hi.

Wan Ting!

I hope I'm not interrupting.

What are you saying?

Look.

Oh right. I've found Pingkang Biotechnology's employee list.

- Where did you find it? - In the Mo family.

[Zhan Guo Huang]

Zhan Guo Huang was one of the founding employees of Pingkang Biotechnology.

Based on the address on the employee list, I found Zhan Guo Huang's wife.

Mrs. Wu Pin Rong.

Mrs. Zhan, how are you?

I'm Zhang Wan Ting. Can I discuss something with you?

What do you want to discuss?

It's about your husband.

- I'm busy. - Mrs. Zhan!

I'm here to help you. Really.

Mrs. Zhan, why don't we do this.

One minute.

Give me one minute, I won't take up too much of your time.

This is my background. [Audition case resolved peacefully. Zhang Wan Ting proved innocent!]

I've seen this article before.

I also know that you're Mrs. Mo's daughter.

So you should also know that 18 years ago,

my father was accused of murdering Mo Shang De.

Why are you telling me this?

I don't believe that my dad committed suicide, so I want to uncover the truth.

That's your business.

Have you not suspected anything about your husband's death?

My dad's death, your husband's demise.

I think they're connected to the Mo Family.

I need your help.

I think perhaps I can help you, too.

Mrs. Zhan said that Zhan Guo Huang worked at Pingkang Biotechnology's research department.

So he was involved in L365's research plan.

What she didn't understand was why Pingkang Biotechnology suddenly shut down.

After that, Zhan Guo Huang worked under Mo Ji Ping.

Mrs. Zhan said that even though Zhan Guo Huang was 5 years older than Mo Ji Ping,

her husband felt more like a sidekick.

After that, Mo Ji Ping started a company using my husband's name.

The company is Zhenglian Biotechnology.

On paper, he let him become the person-in-charge of the company.

But he was just made the scapegoat.

The day Guo Huang died, we had a big fight that morning.

I told him he was just a figurehead,

why was he responsible when something went wrong?

In the end, he's now gone.

And now carries such a bad reputation.

He's hated by everyone.

Of course it's all connected to Mo Ji Ping, but what can I do about it?

- You can retaliate. - How could I?

I have no money and power, what can I do?

You can be a secret witness, reveal all the truth,

and identify the real culprit. You might be able to clear your husband's name.

Wu Pin Rong agreed.

Wan Ting, thank you for your help.

But please stop here, is that okay?

- Why? - Because it's too dangerous.

- Nothing's happened to me. - What if Mrs. Zhan informs Mo Ji Ping?

- What if Mo Ji Ping has bought her over? - Mrs. Zhan isn't that kind of person.

You don't know that, I don't know that, no one knows that!

Mo Ji Ping is truly dangerous. You have no idea.

I'm not so helpless.

I can still protect myself.

Your involvement in L365 and Pingkang ends here.

I don't want anyone else to get involved,

including you.

I don't like to owe anyone anything. I also don't rely on anyone.

You've helped me a lot and all I want is to return the favor.

- I'll leave now. - Let's be clear.

Few people have been so fierce to me.

Mai Da Qi, you're the only one.

Since the first day we met,

you've been at it again and again, not knowing when to quit at all.

If Yu Xin wasn't my sister or if she wasn't personally here,

I would've already flipped out at you.

This is Mrs. Wu Pin Rong's phone number.

She will only answer if you call her.

What happens next depends on you guys.

Wan Ting.

She's really doing this for you.

I'm very lucky to have you.

I'm also very lucky to have friends like Wan Ting.

Prosecutor, I can take responsibility for my words.

My husband Zhan Guo Huang was only a figurehead.

Mo Ji Ping is the real investor behind Zhenlian Biotechnology.

Mrs. Zhan, are you willing to serve as a secret witness of the prosecution?

You will prove Mo Ji Ping's illegal behavior in court and in the investigation.

Since I'm already here, I'm willing to.

Thank you for your cooperation.

But I have a request.

I hope the prosecutor can guarantee my and my family's safety.

Of course. The Secret Witness Protection Plan has already been arranged.

It will now officially be in effect.

With Mrs. Zhan's testimony, we are finally seeing the light at the end.

Thank you, Yu Xin.

Prosecutor, you shouldn't be thanking me.

Who else should I be thanking then?

I can't say that I have a secret witness.

- Prosecutor, I have something to discuss with you. - Please speak.

After Mo Ji Ping was attacked, you found the ancient paintings Guo Zhi Wei was hiding. Don't you think that's too much of a coincidence?

Don't ask me yet. I want to hear your thoughts first.

I believe that Guo Zhi Wei's instigator is Mo Ji Ping.

In order to get back that painting, he hired someone to kill Appraiser Pan.

Why would Mo Ji Ping do that? His appraisal is enough to prove that the ancient painting belongs to the Mo Family.

What if it was fake?

Eighteen years ago, the murderer of Mo Shang De planted the suitcase on Zhang Yong Jian.

But why didn't he take away the painting?

The only possibility is that the killer didn't notice the painting was inside.

What do you mean?

The suitcase has a secret compartment.

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

Eighteen years ago, the murderer of Mo Shang De planted the suitcase on Zhang Yong Jian.

But why didn't he take away the painting?

The only possibility is that the killer didn't notice the painting was inside.

What do you mean?

The suitcase has a secret compartment.

Holding a leather hard-shell suitcase is very suitable for entrepreneurs like Mo Shang De.

There are often many compartments inside.

I'm guessing that the painting and appraisal he bought in Italy

were hidden in the secret compartment and brought back. However, the killer didn't know about it.

So in other words, if the killer knew eighteen years ago

that he had handed over the priceless ancient paintings to Zhang Yong Jian, he would've wanted to jump off a bridge, right?

When Zhang Yong Jian disassembled the suitcase, he found the painting and an English appraisal that he couldn't read,

he kept the painting but threw away the appraisal.

Mo Ji Ping can not sell that ancient painting in the black market.

He can only sell it in a proper market environment.

So Guo Zhi Wei wanted to kill Mo Ji Ping because he wanted to help Mo Ji Ping whitewash.

The reason he left the painting where he hid, was also to whitewash the painting,

and then finally returned it to Mo Ji Ping. These two were acting together.

That's a very bold assumption, but the truth may not be what you said.

The death of Zhan Guo Huang and Mrs. Zhan's testimony,

are you not suspicious of Mo Ji Ping at all?

I am a little.

That's good. Please make good use of your public authority.

You want me to list Mo Ji Ping as the defendant?

As long as you issue an order to list him as a related person, that will be great.

- To force him to jump the wall. - Better than you jumping off the building.

If there's no progress, I'll really have to jump off. (T/N: give up)

I agree to list Mo Ji Ping as a related person.

Thank you, prosecutor. You are brilliant.

[Mo Group Enterprise Information]

- This. - Hey, Xiao Ke.

These two are...?

Xiao Zhong and Xiao Fan. They are the newly hired assistants of Zhenlu Law Firm.

N-New...

Wait, wait. I didn't ask for assistants.

I'm okay with you two being assistants, but I won't pay the salary.

Brother Da Qi will pay the salary.

Your Brother Da Qi will pay?

Then I don't have a problem.

But you're so weird. Why did you find two men to be your assistants?

Isn't two women better?

They are in charge of labor, all right?

In charge of labor? What does that mean?

Lawyer Bai, I'm sorry. I didn't have time to tell you beforehand.

We've already launched an offense against Mo Ji Ping. Next, I hope everyone will be careful.

The two of them are here to protect us.

- Bodyguards? - I'll be fine, they mainly protect Da Qi.

- No problem. - What are you doing?!

Accompanying you to get water.

No need. I'm okay.

- Are you sure? - It's actually good to have bodyguards.

But if it was a woman, that would be even more perfect!

[Jing Tao Law Firm]

Lawyer Wu, this gentleman is suddenly visiting.

He said he wishes to see you. [Mo Ji Ping]

Tell him that I don't have time.

I'm already here. Even if you're busy, shouldn't you see me once?

Mr. Mo, welcome. What can I do for you?

For Zhenglian Biotechnology's case, you're listed as a related person.

I officially appoint you as my lawyer.

Why me?

Because I heard that only you have defeated Mai Da Qi.

In the case of Renxin Hospital, you were able to cut into his client's family

and let the Wang Family dismiss him. You subdue the enemy without a fight.

I'm sorry, I've really been busy lately. I'm afraid I'll have to decline.

I will give you a high price.

This is not about money. This is an issue regarding time.

Is it an issue regarding time, or Wan Ting?

- What do you mean? - You know well what I mean.

Mr. Mo, are you here to find a lawyer or to declare sovereignty?

I suggest you think of it from a different point of view.

If you really like Wan Ting, then you would be more inclined to protect her man.

Do you really think Wan Ting likes you?

She's already living in my house, is she not?

Maybe because she wants to be with Mrs. Mo.

You're trying to anger me because I've already angered you.

Maybe because of your money.

A lawyer is a very pathetic creature.

They're constantly solving the problem after they see it, their emotions are not up to them.

Maybe she loves someone else and she's just temporarily using you as a cushion that will be discarded afterward.

Lawyer Wu, you're so bad.

I've only just started with Wan Ting, and you're trying to stir up trouble.

Let me ask you one more time.

Are you sure you won't accept my appointment?

Life is too short. I wish you the best of luck.

What's the point of acting on impulse?

We will meet again very soon.

[Lawyer Wu Jing Tao]

Hello, CEO Li? Yes, yes.

No problem, no problem.

- CEO, Lawyer Wu is here. - Hey, sit.

CEO Li.

How many times have Director Guo of Dayang Finances been divorced?

Three times.

Then you helping him win a divorce lawsuit saved him at least several hundred million dollars, right?

Director Zeng of Xiangfeng Electric.

His son was speeding and killed a street cleaner.

You also took care of the case for him.

Director Luo of Meiyin Industry, his wife's thesis for professor promotion was subject to plagiarism.

You were also the one who suppressed the problem.

You've helped my old friends with a lot of problems.

I was able to get the investments from everyone because of your recommendations,

and therefore establishing Jing Tao Law Firm.

As the legal counsel of these directors, this is what I should do.

This proved one thing. My vision is correct.

Thank you, CEO Li.

Did Mo Ji Ping go find you?

CEO Li, how do you know?

I recommended him to go.

Except he told me that you didn't have time and couldn't take on his case.

I didn't know Mr. Mo was your friend.

I was quite close to his father, Mo Shang De.

Ji Ping is like my younger generation. He calls me Uncle Li.

I understand.

How about it? Can you help him with the case?

I saw the subpoena.

For the Zhenglian Biotechnology case, he is listed as a related person.

It can be seen that the prosecutor has some evidence.

I must evaluate the situation first and then make a decision.

There's no need to evaluate. Just take on the case.

But I know too little about the case. I'm not confident I will win.

What's wrong with you lately?

I wanted my granddaughter back, but you told me you weren't confident.

Now I'm asking you to help a little, and you're still saying you're not confident enough.

Listen to me clearly. Mo Ji Ping's case

must be won.

CEO Li, can you give me a reason as to why I must win?

Because I've invested in him for a long time now. Just like how I've invested in you.

Lawyer Wu, this way please.

Director Mo, Lawyer Wu is here.

All right.

Jing Tao, why are you here?

Long time no see.

Jing Tao is my lawyer.

Lawyer Wu, welcome. We meet again.

Can we talk privately?

Is it not all right to talk here?

There may be some sensitive or private topics.

Wan Ting is not an outsider. Here, sit.

Sit, sit.

Mr. Mo, if you want me to help you,

then you must tell me why you're listed as a related person.

I'm not sure about that either, so that's why I need your help.

What is your relationship with Zhan Guo Huang?

- I know him, but we're not close. - What about Zhenglian Biotechnology?

I have no relation whatsoever with Zhenglian Biotechnology.

- Did you participate in the tunneling fraud case? - No.

- Were you given any money? - No.

I believe in the account under your name, but

are there any secret accounts, figureheads, or laundering, anything like that?

I already said I didn't participate.

If there is, you must be honest. You can turn yourself in.

I'll defend your guilt and fight for your probation.

I've constantly said no and you just keep asking.

Is it because... you don't trust me?

The prosecutor would not just randomly list you as a related person.

So Mr. Mo, you best let me know a little bit more,

so as to not change from a related person to the defendant.

The aspect of the matter depends on how you're thinking about it.

So if you're unable to stand on my side, then it won't help either of us.

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

The aspect of the matter depends on how you're thinking about it.

So if you're unable to stand on my side, then it won't help either of us.

How can I help you if you don't speak of the truth?

Lawyer Wu, you know that I'm always generous.

That's why this time I won't treat you badly.

However, you only have one mission. Find the right perspective and solve the problem.

What's wrong? Do you have any other questions?

A lot of questions.

All right. Then I'll wait for you to go back to clarify the case,

and then we'll schedule another time for us to meet up.

Okay.

If CEO Li knows about our pleasant cooperation, he'll be so pleased.

Jing Tao. I'll accompany him out.

What happened back there?

I feel like the two of you are... competing.

Do you not want to be his lawyer?

"You can't always do what you like."

What does that mean?

Money. Is it not clear enough?

You also approach him because of money, based on this, we are quite similar.

Once you start talking you have to hurt someone, do you have to act like a hedgehog?

I'm sorry. I was just joking.

So the things that you told Yu Xin were also jokes?

You didn't answer my calls, so I had to find Yu Xin.

Wu Jing Tao, let me warn you.

Don't tell anymore of those useless rumors to Yu Xin.

That day was just a misfire, I didn't mean any harm.

You better be.

I don't know why you're getting so close to Mo Ji Ping, but it's definitely not for money, right?

Even though I don't understand that painting, I do trust in my vision.

Before someone told me that liking you is just a psychological compensation.

I didn't understand at first, but now I do.

You know, you are as pure as snow in my eyes,

I really envy you neither chasing after power nor addicting to money.

I still can't do it.

Maybe that's the reason you don't like me.

However, even though it's like this, I still won't give up.

Maybe one day.

Hey, you are?

Wait, it's fine.

This is Lawyer Wu.

- Wu Jing Tao? - Who are they?

Xiao Ke's friends. They are also the safety net for this law firm.

Please come in.

Lawyer Wu is here.

From today onward, I'll be Mo Ji Ping's appointed lawyer.

I'm not surprised. I've seen through you.

I'll accept the case if there's lots of money. My reasoning is that simple.

No, no, no. Don't say I didn't remind you.

There are a lot of inside stories in this case, don't regret later on.

This Zhan Guo Huang might be killed to prevent divulgence.

The murderer is Guo Zhi Wei, and he is also the suspect of the appraiser's death.

These all are related to Mo Ji Ping.

It's all your speculation, you have no proof.

Let's talk privately.

Let me ask you, why did you take on this case?

Didn't I already explain clearly?

Did someone pressure you?

You're overthinking it.

I've known you this long, even if you love money, you won't take cases that shouldn't be touched.

Time can change everything, so as principals.

Then what is the point in talking?

What are they talking about?

How would I know? I don't know how to lip read.

See? I told you to learn lip reading before, and you didn't do it.

Then why didn't you learn it yourself?

- I'm so done! - Oh! Are they going to fight?

- From before till now, I have been... - I bet Wu Jing Tao will win.

Do you believe that I'll show a gesture to Xiao Zhong and see who will win?

- Just like this? - Just like this?

- Boring. - He left?

Have you evaluated the related information?

Stop the nonsense.

That's what I want. Tell me what you think.

You tell me, what's the relationship between you and Zhan Guo Huang?

You are very persistent.

There are no other people here, you can tell me. Is he your figurehead?

Yes. He's my figurehead.

So you didn't admit it yesterday in front of Wan Ting, and forced me to take this case, what do you want?

Are you showing off your power?

I'm already very polite.

Are you related to Zhan Guo Huang's murder? Did you hire a killer?

This is too sensitive.

- Did you hire killer Guo Zhi Wei? Tell me. - Take a guess.

- Where did Zhan Guo Huang's money go? - Guess again.

I'm your appointed lawyer, I need to know the whole truth.

You only need to help me deal with Mai Da Qi and Prosecutor Xu, you don't need to know anything else.

If you don't trust me, how can I deal with them?

I trust in your ability,

but whether I should trust in your loyalty, it depends on your performance.

I gave you the money, I want you to talk, then you talk.

Yes. I've got you. Who asks you to keep working for CEO Li and all?

Without them, can your law firm still operate?

Are you threatening me?

It's just a friendly reminder.

So Lawyer Wu,

what's your strategy?

The immediate priority is to find out who the secret witness is.

We're going to be bored anyway. Let me teach you all how to play this new card game.

Isn't this Uno?

Why are the cards colored on both sides?

This is called the "reverse Uno" card.

Look, the side with this white border is the traditional Uno cards.

The other side with this black border has different functions.

That's too complicated. We'll have to learn new rules.

Not at all! As long as you know how to play traditional Uno, then you'll definitely know how to play this one.

Like me, I got it down in five minutes.

Let me tell you, as long as someone plays the reverse card,

everyone must flip their cards to the black side.

Flip?

All the other rules are like traditional Uno.

Then wouldn't other people see your original cards?

That's why these cards are so interesting.

You have to use this opportunity to remember other people's cards. It's a battle of wits.

That sounds interesting, let's try it out.

All right, let's try a round. Hurry, four.

Flip.

- I'm sorry, your pizza delivery is here. - Pizza?

You guys ordered pizza?

- Please sign for me. - I'll do it, I'll do it.

Guo Zhi Wei!

We've waited for you for a long time.

- Hey! - Lawyer Bai!

Don't come over here!

I said not to come over here!

- Help me! - Don't come over here!

Guo Zhi Wei, put down the knife!

Don't come over here! Move.

- Don't hurt me! - Lawyer Bai!

- Lawyer Bai! - Move back.

- Guo Zhi Wei, put your knife down! - Move back!

Guo Zhi Wei! Put down the knife!

Hey! Lawyer Bai!

- Move back! - Lawyer Bai!

Tend to Lawyer Bai first!

- Lawyer Bai! - Help me!

Lawyer Bai, are you all right?!

- Help me! - Come down to help me. Are you all right?

Are you all right?

H-Hurry up and call an ambulance!

I'm glad you're okay!

What ambulance? I'll just bring you to a temple to calm you down.

I literally fell under the truck! Call an ambulance! Hurry!

All right, all right.

- That scared me to death. - Don't cry.

Hot coco. Drink something sweet to calm down and feel better.

Be careful, it's hot.

What?

It's so bitter, where is the sweetness?

Hey, this brand is super sweet. Be careful of getting diabetes.

Diabetes? Let me tell you, I don't even care about that anymore.

Life is too short. You'll never know when you're going to get abducted or hit by a truck.

Let me tell you, remember this. Whenever you order beverages for me,

- make sure all of them have full sugar. - Okay.

Do you know when I was under the truck, it was like a life review,

my life was flashing over and over in front of my eyes.

Do you know even my first love from kindergarten, I also—

All right, enough. You had enough pity seeking.

It's such a shame that we didn't catch Guo Zhi Wei.

The appearance of Guo Zhi Wei can almost prove that the killer is Mo Ji Ping's dark force.

Director Mo, are you calling to confirm if I'm still alive?

Lawyer Mai, you love to tell jokes, don't you?

Thank you for sending such a big gift.

I don't remember sending you a present.

However, he failed.

This killer is too incapable, why don't you change to another one?

I don't understand what you're talking about.

How much money did you spend?

I advise you to give up the tunneling fraud case as soon as possible.

You also know that I don't usually take advices.

You mentioned a killer, right?

I wonder if there will be a second or third time.

If you avoided this time, can you guarantee you can avoid the next time?

Also you have many people around you. What if something happens to them?

I'm so worried for you guys.

Thank you for the heads up, Director Mo. However, you might get disappointed.

We will definitely live well. Not only will we solve the tunneling fraud case and the appraiser's murder case,

we'll also solve the cold case from 18 years ago.

Okay. Life is all about maintaining hope.

Otherwise, how boring would it be?

My biggest hope is to get you convicted myself.

Lawyer Bai, are you all right?

W-What... if I'm not completely well, I'm still half okay.

I wanted to ask if you were all right.

T-That demon, Mo Ji Ping, he called you at this time. What does he mean?

He also wanted to ask if I was doing okay.

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

[Mo Group Enterprise] Zhan Guo Huang's wife is Wu Pin Rong. Where she moved a while back is unknown.

Maybe she is the secret witness.

You've worked hard. But I already knew about this.

Is there anything else you want me to know?

No.

Are you sure?

Have you checked Mrs. Zhan's phone records?

Tian Yu Xin and Wan Ting have already talked with her. Since you're so professional, you should've already known, right?

Since you know, then why won't you tell me?

This kind of simple thing even private detectives can find out, you thought I wouldn't know without you telling me?

Do you think I'm an idiot?

Wu Ping Rong is the victim's family.

Tian Yu Xin will definitely find her as a lawyer, there's nothing strange about that.

Then what about Wan Ting?

What?

You want me to tell on Wan Ting and then trouble her?

Do you think I'm that kind of person?

Looks like you care a lot about Wan Ting.

Looks like you're worried about her.

Do you think she'll stab you in the back when your relationship with her is so good?

You guys live under the same roof. If you suspect her, why don't you just directly ask her?

Why don't you ask her?

Are you trying to create an opportunity for me? That's fine, I'll be more than glad to.

It's fine, I'll take care of it myself.

Okay.

[Wu Jing Tao]

[Airplane mode: ON]

[Wu Jing Tao]

The number you have dialed is currently unavailable...

[Wu Jing Tao]

What? Did you want to spy on the enemy? (T/N: referring to herself as the enemy)

- Listen to me. - Wu Jing Tao, let me tell you.

I'm not like you, always thinking about money.

No matter what conditions you bring up, I will always decline.

If you want to help that scum with the case, that's none of my business. Not everyone is like you only going after the money.

I'm worried about Wan Ting.

You still dare to bring up Wan Ting? Let me tell you, you're not suitable for her.

Why don't you go ahead and marry money?

Hello?

No, no. You can't use that toner.

After you use it all up, you'll have acne-prone skin.

But the jar of toner Yan Ping helped me bring back from Sweden

worked so well.

- Really? - Yes.

- It's very moisturizing and refreshing. Next time, bring me another jar. - That'll be no problem at all.

- I want one too! - You want one too? - I want three!

- Three? All right. - One more for me.

- Enough, enough. - I want two!

How will she be able to remember if you guys all yell out like this?

How about we

make a form in our group chat. If you want one, you can just add yourself.

We'll have to trouble Yan Ping to help bring them back to us.

- All right. - Thank you.

No problem. Okay.

[Lawyer Wu Jing Tao]

My apologies, I have to take this call.

What other things are good to use lately?

Hello? Sorry Lawyer Wu, I'm busy right now.

Mrs. Mo, Wan Ting is in danger now.

Sunny, where is Wan Ting?

She just left.

Did she not turn on her phone? Why can't I call her?

I'm not sure.

Mrs. Mo, are you all right?

You're back?

Ji Ping?

You've been coming back home pretty late, yeah?

There are more regular customers, and the business is becoming more stable.

But it's good that Sunny is there. Otherwise, I would be coming home even later.

It's good you have someone to help you.

Besides the café being super busy, you also have other things, right?

For example, Wu Pin Rong.

Are you talking about Mrs. Zhan?

That's right. You've contacted her before?

That's right, because I wanted to understand more about Pingkang Biotechnology.

Why?

L365.

I've heard of this medicine. However, it was discontinued while it was still in the clinical trial stage.

It was never sold on the market.

How did you learn of this medicine?

Da Qi is a clinical trial patient of this medicine.

However he is now suffering from side effects, and his life is always on the line.

I heard that as long as we can find L356's formula,

we can save him.

You know that I owe Da Qi a lot. I must return this favor.

Then since it's like that, you should've told me.

I knew Zhan Guo Huang participated in the development of L365.

I think it's better to ask him or his family about this issue.

So you really only asked Mrs. Zhan about L365?

I told Wan Ting to go find Mrs. Zhan.

Wan Ting has already told me about L365 and Mai Da Qi's situation.

I told her to go find Mrs. Zhan and see if she can find anything.

I understand that you want to repay Da Qi.

Oh right, I was just going to ask you if you have the formula of L365?

Nevertheless, it was 20 years ago. Can information on it still be found?

It might still take some time, but I can't say for sure.

Maybe everything has already been disposed of.

See what I've said?

The chances to find it are slim, but you're just not giving up.

You also know that I don't like to owe people.

I'm not blaming you.

Then what was the result? Did you get any information from Mrs. Zhan?

It's just like you said. It has been way too long, so no one can remember.

So? Are you still not willing to give up?

Enough. Auntie, please don't push Wan Ting anymore.

How about this? I'll try to find something.

Who knows what I might find.

Thank you. Ji Ping, thank you.

There's no need to thank me. If he's your benefactor, he is also my benefactor.

(Next Episode Preview) I want to marry Wan Ting.

Is it because of that painting?

Mo Ji Ping abetted Zhang Guo Huang and set up a shell company. He tunneled NT$5.6 billion funds.

No. There's no such thing!

You did it.

Sorry to bother you with this.

There must be a mole.

I found the formula for L365.

I'm here to say goodbye to you today. Cheers.

There were seven subjects total in the L365 trial. Two were at Renxin Hospital.

It's rare to see such shadows in religious paintings.

Is the woman in the painting the Virgin Mary, or the Devil?

Stop the car!

♫ I want to heal this scar of mine gently and tenderly ♫

♫ Finally I can fall asleep after dawn ♫
