[The Golden Eyes]

3

[Episode 54]

4

You are you. I am me.

5

Correct. You are you, and I am me. I am an illegitimate child without a father.

6

Not long after my mom remarried, she threw me aside.

7

Abandoned. Let me tell you this.

8

During that time, surviving

9

was as hard as getting to heaven.

10

You don't understand.

11

Do you know what the feeling is like

12

when a person reached the stage of extreme hunger?

13

Do you know what the feeling is like when you are always given the supercilious look by others, and your forehead is forever lowered?

14

That's called the low point of life.

15

The moment I was born, I was in the low point of life.

16

What does it mean to excel among my peers? I don't even dare think about it,

17

unless the opportunity comes along.

18

If any opportunity should come along, I must grab hold of it even if I had to fight with all my life.

19

Do you understand?

20

That winter forty years ago,

21

an archaeological expedition team came to our village.

22

The job of the guide is a lucrative one.

23

The people in the village fought over it.

24

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Qiming showed great mercy and chose me to be the guide.

25

Good. So, I led the expedition team

26

and started walking until we reached Feng Quan's tomb.

27

The accident which occurred inside Feng Quan's tomb

28

thoroughly changed my destiny.

29

Nakagawa! How are you, Nakagawa?

30

Save me...

31

I will. I will definitely save you.

32

I will definitely bring you out from here. You must trust me.

33

After we escaped,

34

we found a village for us to convalesce.

35

During this period of convalescence,

36

I found out that Yohei Nakagawa's eyes

37

were abnormal.

38

I was very puzzled.

39

Then, I began to carefully observe all of Yohei Nakagawa's actions secretly.

40

Then, I began to carefully observe all of Yohei Nakagawa's actions secretly.

41

I never expected that later,

42

I discovered an enormous secret.

43

Nakagawa, what can your eyes actually see?

44

I think I can see through the surface of objects

45

and look at the inside.

46

This is exactly the same as what Feng Quan described.

47

The wall painting in Feng Quan's tomb described the process by which his eyes gained extraordinary abilities.

48

And the abnormal condition of his eyes are the same as your condition now.

49

Are you saying that those eye totem drawings

50

were a kind of symbol designed by Feng Quan?

51

During the explosion,

52

were you holding that jade eye in your hand?

53

- Are you referring to that paperweight?

- Yes.

54

I think it was shattered during the explosion.

55

I think the abnormal condition of your eyes is related to the jade eye.

56

Related to the jade eye?

57

Yohei Nakagawa was lucky.

58

He managed to escape from me.

59

But your grandfather, Zhuang Qiming...

60

Unfortunately, I didn't find the jade eye with him.

61

My grandfather was really killed by you!

62

Y-You don't know anything about it.

63

When I discovered your grandfather, he was near death.

64

Even though I stabbed him several times, he still ran so fast. Don't you think he's stupid?

65

- You're a mad man!

- How could you blame me?

66

Don't be impulsive, child!

67

Let me tell you. What's the crux of the matter?

68

The thing which I spent so many years looking and couldn't find,

69

you gained it so easily just like that.

70

This is my concern.

71

Why don't you just kill me, too?!

72

How could I bear to kill you?

73

I need you to live well.

74

Kojima?

75

Very surprised? What do you think then?

76

How did I know that Gu Tianfeng knew the inside story?

77

Never expected that I would meet Nakagawa's descendant here.

78

You knew my father?

79

Not only do I know him.

80

Looks like my father and you had a relationship that went some way back.

81

Actually, it should have been Nakagawa and I

82

who were going in that archaeological activity that year.

83

But later, Zhuang Qiming went on my behalf.

84

We maintained communication through letters all these years.

85

These letters and the materials from that year

86

are still with me until now.

87

So that is what happened.

88

I never expected that there's still someone else

89

who knew what happened to the archaeological team.

90

Every event that has happened

91

will surely be known by someone.

92

Xiao Rui, you need to rest for a while.

93

Okay.

94

I got it.

95

Is there any news about Zhuang Rui?

96

Before they got hold of the jade eye,

97

they surely will not stop.

98

As long as they take action, we'll have a chance.

99

Now, we can only think this way.

100

Feifei, we have clues.

101

Where was this taken?

102

My men took this at a cafe in the city.

103

But they lost him after that.

104

Then, who is this other person?

105

I've never see him before.

106

Right now, Long Kun obviously know that we are looking everywhere for him.

107

Yet, he couldn't wait to go and meet this person.

108

This clearly indicates that the status of this person is rather complicated.

109

This... person looks familiar.

110

How could you find a Ukrainian familiar?

111

I remember now.

112

When I was studying abroad, this person came to my school to give a lecture.

113

Ukrainian Professor of Neurology, Peter Pavlovic.

114

I did say I remember correctly.

115

Correct. It's him.

116

Why would an authority in medicine associate with Long Kun?

117

They must be taking action on Xiao Rui.

118

No, we can't sit around and wait for death.

119

Xiao Rui is in great danger in their hands.

120

Elena, if you have any news of Long Kun, please tell us immediately.

121

Okay.

122

Xiao Yun, go and find out how to contact Peter Pavlovic.

123

Don't worry. I'll definitely find him.

124

Don't worry.

125

We have already cleared the way for the relationship with the goods yard.

126

We will surely succeed.

127

You did well in the work concerning this area.

128

You managed to get so many cultural relics from China.

129

I now have a blockade-free relationship with the goods yard.

130

If our plan is successful, we'll be able to conquer the antique market in Kiev,

131

and completely establish ourselves.

132

Just for the sake of establishing ourselves in Kiev?

133

Aren't you being too short sighted?

134

If today, it is just for the sake of having enough food and warm clothes, it would not have been necessary then for us to walk this difficult road and risk danger out of desperation.

135

Let me tell you this. Those cultural relics transported here from our home country

136

are all personally authenticated and restored by me.

137

They are national treasures!

138

With them, Kiev will become

139

a worldwide center for cultural exchange of relics from China.

140

Never expected that your appetite is bigger than mine.

141

I think I'm a little too greedy.

142

Human nature.

143

How's the preparation for Zhuang Rui's operation?

144

I have already invited the surgeon and his assistant here.

145

They are neurology specialists who are internationally renowned.

146

Good.

147

How did it go?

148

Are we looking at the wrong place? Or did I recognize the wrong person?

149

The nurse in the hospital said Peter Pavlovic and his assistant have not turned up at the hospital for a week. They have gone for a vacation.

150

I think this is most likely related to Long Kun.

151

This is going to be troublesome.

152

Why are you looking for me, Kleiza?

153

Shall we go to the exhibit together tonight?

154

Lately, I don't have much interest to attend these so-called exhibits.

155

Aren't you interested in cultural relics from China?

156

There are some cultural relics from China.

157

Please.

158

We were invited to the exhibition. What's all these about?

159

Be patient. Follow me.

160

Welcome, everyone. Welcome, all the friends from the world of antique collection,

161

to our exhibit.

162

The items in this exhibition are, in the following order,

163

circular-shaped pattern jade from the Warring States period (475 - 221 BC),

164

a cat's eye pendant in-laid with gold from the Qing Dynasty,

165

and, the Sanskrti zither of a great sage from the Song Dynasty.

166

These three items are cultural relics of national treasure grade from China.

167

First, I would like to introduce the circular-shaped pattern jade from the Warring States period.

168

It has no blemish on its entire body. Although kept for a thousand years, it is still in good condition and undamaged.

169

The jade is noble and unsullied, symbolizing the creative power of a genius and wisdom's precipitation.

170

- Yes, that's good.

- Next, I'm going to introduce the second item.

171

This is the Qing Dynasty's

172

cat's eye pendant in-laid in gold.

173

All of you will notice that it's body is transparent, and the light that shines through is clear.

174

It was once the plaything of the Qing Dynasty emperor.

175

Thus, it is a very rare item.

176

Not bad, not bad.

177

Lastly, I would like to introduce the Sanskrit zither of a great sage from Song Dynasty.

178

It came from the imperial court of Song Dynasty. It has a beautiful and powerful bearing.

179

Although covered in dust for a thousand years, it is still hard to conceal its luster.

180

Never expected that we could actually see such treasures here.

181

These are just the appetizers.

182

If all of you are satisfied,

183

we can import from China another batch of products that will be of the same quality and grade next time.

184

- I think it's good.

- Of course.

- By that time,

185

- we will invite all of you here to appreciate them.

- This thing is very valuable.

186

Even if it's sky-high price, it will be worth it.

187

- How much are they?

- I will buy it.

- I'm buying.

- I want to get them all.

188

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Dragon Guardians @ Viki

189

They were totally enchanted. One can imagine

190

that once the exhibition officially opens its curtains,

191

we surely will cause a sensation in the whole Kiev antique collection field.

192

Wrong, it's in the whole world.

193

What is this? Was it from the same batch of relics?

194

Look.

195

It's the jade eye! How is this possible?

196

I have to thank Ryosuke Nakagawa for this.

197

For a long time, he didn't give up in finding them.

198

Hence, Kojima was able to successfully find this.

199

No wonder you've withdrawn all my men from the museum.

200

It's because you've gotten hold of the jade eye.

201

Will we still seek the jade eye in their hands then?

202

Why won't we want it?

203

As long as Zhuang Rui is still in our hands,

204

the other jade eye would be delivered to us sooner or later.

205

You'll have a lot of time to look at it.

206

What?

207

They actually were able to smuggle cultural relics to here?

208

Other than local antique collectors of Kiev,

209

there were black market businessmen from different countries who were there.

210

They have huge appetite

211

and the amount of antiques were also quite shocking.

212

Those bastards...

213

Are they treating this as dividing the treasure between the Eight-Nation Alliance?

214

Mr. Victor,

215

please think of a way to stop these so-called antique collectors.

216

These are Chinese cultural relics.

217

What they are doing is illegal.

218

In front of self-interest, these businessmen can't be bound by anything.

219

Feifei, I really can't do anything about this. I hope you understand.

220

This...

221

What do we do now? We're totally in a passive state.

222

Hello, Sis Fei.

223

Hello, Zhao.

224

It's just 3 am. What is it?

225

How could they just take them like that? Those were our country's cultural relics!

226

- Long Kun and Ma Tengfeng are currently

- Don't panic.

227

smuggling national treasure grade cultural relics to Ukraine.

228

We only know that the destination is Kiev.

229

Go investigate for any logistics paths in our country.

230

Prioritize those large scale goods transfer.

231

See if you can find any suspicious goods.

232

Okay. I understand. I'll investigate it now.

233

Okay. Bye-bye.

234

This matter is quite huge. It might be hard for Little Zhao back home to investigate it.

235

But if we don't have any hard proof about such a huge matter,

236

I reckon we won't be able to request for any help. We can only try our luck.

237

Oh, right, Xiao Yun. How's your search for that professor?

238

He disappeared with his assistant.

239

The last time anyone saw them was in a warehouse.

240

Warehouse?

241

Elena has already found out that one of the owner of that warehouse is Long Kun.

242

We also found out that he would appear there every Sunday.

243

How are you? Are you used to living here?

244

This came from China.

245

Help me take a look at it.

246

That is a national-grade cultural treasure. How come it's with you?

247

Continue saying.

248

If you can clearly explain it,

249

I'll think about telling you about it.

250

Emperor Kangxi once worn a precious gem pendant made of cat's eye with gold inlaid.

251

This precious gem pendant was embedded in a golden container.

252

It looked like a cat's eye staring at the person looking at it.

253

After Emperor Kangxi died, Yongzheng and Qianlong both kept it.

254

In the end, it was lost in the hands of Puyi.

255

That is how wild history recorded its value.

256

But in reality, as an art product,

257

it contains a huge flaw.

258

How is that possible?

259

At the back of the precious gemstone, there's a crack.

260

To hide this crack,

261

the maker of that precious gemstone embedded it on a golden socket.

262

If you use a UV light to look at it, you will see it very clearly.

263

Uncle De said

264

that you have awesome eyes.

265

I initially didn't believe it.

266

You are more outstanding that how he described.

267

No wonder he would risk his life

268

to have those jade eyes.

269

How did you get that item?

270

Of course, it's through Uncle De's abilities.

271

Let me be honest with you.

272

Other than this, there would be another batch of this kind of cultural relics.

273

Each one being a great treasure.

274

Uncle De cares about you. But too bad,

275

you refuse to cooperate.

276

Once we've resolved the matter here,

277

we'll then forever part.

278

Too bad!

279

What too bad?

280

Too bad that in this highly profitable business of yours,

281

you might not be able to get even a cent.

282

You think that once this matter is over,

283

Uncle De will still keep you alive?

284

We are partners.

285

Without me, how could he make those so many deals?

286

A cultural relic smuggling business?

287

What Uncle De needs now

288

is your connections here in Kiev.

289

Back in China, all cultural relic channels

290

are in his hands.

291

As long as this deal is a success, I believe that he'll find a better partner.

292

Impossible! I won't allow it!

293

It's not up to you.

294

Oh, right.

295

Your state now made me remember someone.

296

Who?

297

Do you know how Uncle De was able to dispose of Qin Haoran?

298

You actually were able to find this place.

299

Your Ukrainian friends are quite capable.

300

Long Kun, where is Zhuang Rui?

301

What can you do if I don't say it?

302

If you dare touch me, don't even think of seeing Zhuang Rui again.

303

Since we're able to track you here,

304

we naturally could find out where you're hiding Zhuang Rui.

305

We don't want to end up with a life and death struggle then perish altogether with you. Please tell Uncle De

306

that we want to make a deal with him.

307

Deal? No problem.

308

Can I go now?

309

Hence, your luck is still not bad.

310

You were able to encounter this kind of strange thing,

311

and make a few good friends.

312

What are you planning to do?

313

Nothing. Nothing. Don't worry.

314

They are very well. They are fine.

315

Also, just for you,

316

they would rather give the jade eye up. So touching.

317

- What are you planning to do to them?

- Nothing.

318

I feel that you should be happy.

319

You have a good group of friends willing to do such things for you. Am I right?

320

Someone would be coming tomorrow to check on you,

321

to check if you're safe here,

322

to confirm if you're alive.

323

Let me tell you that when you see them tomorrow, try to persuade them

324

to just hand over the jade eye.

325

Don't think of scheming. It's of no use.

326

Dream on.

327

You should stop being persistent too.

328

I know that you're suffering.

329

Even if you don't think for yourself, try considering your friends.

330

Feifei, long time no see.

331

That's right.

332

After I've arrested you, we'll be able to see each other often.

333

Police Officer Miao has learned to make jokes. That's a good thing.

334

Peng Fei, are you used to the cold weather here in Ukraine?

335

Okay. Who among you would be going in? Only one can go in.

336

That's not what Long Kun said.

337

That's how I said it.

338

Anyway, you are just going to get inside to check on Zhuang Rui's situation.

339

Whether he's safe, healthy, sick, alive, or dead. Just one person looking is enough.

340

How come I feel so awkward talking in front of you two?

341

Is it because it's too different from before?

342

Can't do anything about it. That's life.

343

Each one just getting what they need. Each one just doing their job. Who will go in?

344

- Wait for me here. I'll go in.

- Be careful.

345

No need to be careful. Please go inside.

346

Five minutes.

347

Are you okay?

348

You shouldn't have come.

349

You shouldn't make a deal with Ma Tengfeng.

350

We can't just leave you here.

351

Everyone is worried about you.

352

I also am very worried.

353

Did they do anything to you?

354

You shouldn't hand the jade eye to them as an exchange.

355

I don't have much time left. There's no need for it.

356

No matter if it's worth it or not,

357

we must give it a try.

358

Quickly go check. Hurry.

359

Tomorrow, we'll pretend to exchange the jade eye and lure everyone here away.

360

By then, I'll think of a way to get you out, so be prepared.

361

The security here is very strict.

362

I fear that it won't be that easy.

363

- Come over to warm up.

- This place is so cold.

- Indeed.

364

No matter what, we have to give it a try.

365

Oh, right. Long Kun and Ma Tengfeng are currently importing some cultural relics

366

here to Kiev. The deal would be made in two days.

367

I know about this. Little Zhao is currently investigating it,

368

but we have too little information in our hands.

369

There are too many goods being exchanged between Kiev and China.

370

It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Investigating it is too difficult.

371

Ma Tengfeng is a very cautious person.

372

If we are going to use usual means, there surely won't be a chance.

373

But don't hand him the real jade eye. You just need to delay the time.

374

Delay the time? What are you planning to do?

375

I have an idea

376

on how to find their contact in China. You just need to help me create a video clip.

377

How is Xiao Rui?

378

Quite alright.

379

You've seen the person.

380

Can we continue with our deal?

381

You have more people.

382

What if you don't release him after we've handed the good?

383

What do you want then?

384

The exchange venue must be changed.

385

Sure.

386

I'll send some venue choices to you later.

387

I'll go by myself tomorrow. You all just stay here and guard.

388

Yes, don't worry.

389

What time is it already?!

390

Does he want to die?

391

Won't everything be done with if we just do the exchange honestly?

392

He's already a little white mouse here and he's still concerned about his country and its citizens?

393

Since he made a choice,

394

we then should believe and help him.

395

Xiao Yun, call Liu Jia to find someone that can create a news.

396

News? For what?

397

Zhuang Rui requested this.

398

This news clip would then be broadcast in the web portal between China and Ukraine.

399

After the news release,

400

we only need to join together an imaginary link.

401

Mr. Victor, we need a signal blocker.

402

The coverage area need not be too wide.

403

It's enough for it to be effective within 10 meters.

404

No problem.

405

This is Zhuang Rui's location.

406

Tomorrow, we'll be in charge of dragging Ma Tengfeng's attention. I'll leave Zhuang Rui to you.

407

Understand?

408

I do.

409

Police Officer Miao,

410

do you have news about Kojima?

411

The time was too short. I didn't have a chance to ask.

412

But she wasn't locked up together with Zhuang Rui.

413

Sorry.

414

Eat. You still have a major matter to do tomorrow.

415

I don't know what you're saying.

416

I urge you guys to be careful.

417

Uncle De isn't that easy to be deceived.

418

Why did you betray Mr. Nakagawa?

419

Mr. Zhuang, I think you got it wrong.

420

I never betrayed Mr. Nakagawa.

421

From the start,

422

I was just fulfilling the task assigned to me by Mr. Ma Tengfeng.

423

Done. I just need to add the screen captions.

424

[ My Darling ]

425

Honey.

426

How is it going?

427

I'm about to finish. I guarantee that it will be done before 12 midnight.

428

The broadcast will not get delayed.

429

Okay. Have to trouble you this time, Teacher Xiao Jia.

430

Just be at ease.

431

No need to say such things to me at this critical moment.

432

What's important now is to rescue Zhuang Rui.

433

That's more important than anything else.

434

I'm hanging up. Bye-bye.

435

Okay. Bye-bye...

436

Stop right there.

437

Uncle De.

438

Long time no see.

439

Can your body take

440

the chilly weather here?

441

I fear that you might faint if you get so agitated later.

442

Those are indeed words that would be said by you.

443

Have you brought the item?

444

Of course.

♫ Are only one thousand legends ♫

450

♫ There's no escape from it ♫

451

♫ Love is actually made of paper ♫

452

♫ Because it is too hot ♫

453

♫ it will one day set fire ♫

454

♫ Unable to escape from it, my heart has been set ablaze ♫

455

♫ Once it has been burned into ashes, what else would I care about ♫

456

♫ So what if I'm hurt or in pain? ♫

457

♫ Only when you have loved can you let go your obsessions ♫

458

♫ Unable to hide from it, love has already sparked a fire ♫

459

♫ Only after getting burned into ashes did I know which way the wind is blowing ♫

460

♫ The more you want to hide, the easier it is to make mistakes ♫

461

♫ Everything is predestined ♫

462

♫ There's no escape from it ♫

463

♫ There's no escape from it ♫

464

♫ The heart is actually made of paper ♫

465

♫ What you see might not be all real ♫

481

♫ Even if you had seen through it all

482

♫ You might not be able to really bear to part with it ♫
