[Sahā world]

Living, aging, falling ill, dying,

separating from the loved ones, meeting with the hated ones,

not getting what you want, having the Five Aggregates flourishing,

these are the eight sufferings in the mortal world.

HAPPY LANTERN FESTIVAL

01 to 803, are you on the scene yet?

803 to 01, we've arrived at the Wang's mansion.

01 copy that.

I wonder if it's just another prank.

Yeah, it's been happening a lot lately.

Hi there, we've received an emergency call from Mr. Wang.

Is he all right?

Over here.

What's the smell?

Where did this come from?

What's this?

Master.

This is 803, we need backup and an ambulance.

Copy. We'll send someone immediately.

Mrs. Wang.

The baby has reached 7 weeks.

The heartbeat sounds stable.

Congratulations.

The cancer cells that spread to the bones have been shrinking,

but we found 3 to 4 black spots around the Lumbar cord.

Mr. Liang mentioned feeling numbness in his legs,

it's probably these tumors pressuring the nerves.

This means the cancer cells have developed resistance to our treatment.

Again?

We've tried every target therapy, and chemotherapy.

Now we can only increase the doses first.

Shortening the injection interval, making it once every 2 weeks.

What about afterwards? What if there's another drug resistance?

Then there would be another cancer cell metastasis.

If it spreads to the brain, it'll be the final stage.

This is a new adjuvant therapy that our medical group is going to launch.

RNA restoration technology.

It can help restore impaired cranial nerves.

Once it can begin clinical trial,

it'll double the survival time of a patient.

When will the clinical trial begin?

We're not sure. The beginning of next year at the soonest.

Next year.

We would usually suggest our patients that have symptoms of metastasis

to do a genetic testing first.

See if they qualify for the treatment.

You're just 38 years old. Still quite young.

We should keep exploring possible options.

Hi, mom.

Yeah, go ahead.

It's fine, just help me settle it.

That's not a big deal.

Yeah, let me know how it goes.

That small flat?

I told you not to sell it.

Let's just do the genetic testing ASAP.

It'll cost 6 figures just to do that genetic testing.

Even if I'm qualified, the therapy could cost millions more.

Selling that small flat probably won't even cover it.

That's not really an option, all right?

Good morning everyone, this is the morning news of February 26th.

Mr. Wang Shih-tsung, the founder of Wang Corporation,

has been found murdered in his house this morning.

The initial report shows that it's not a simple case.

The victim's head was bashed by a blunt weapon, suffering a horrible death.

Police received an emergency call from the Wang's early in the morning,

and sent a team to investigate.

They were accompanied by Wang's maid

when they found Wang Shih-tsung's body on the floor, bleeding to death.

The founder of Wang Corporation,

Wang Shih-tsung has been known for his charity works.

He started his career in biotech and cosmetic surgery,

gradually expanding his business since then.

Now the corporation expands across education, insurance, and real estate.

Recently, focused on its corporate social responsibility,

they have made dedicated efforts

funding orphanages, helping poor children attain education and care.

Revisiting his interview three years ago, the last interview he did before his death

leaves us all with a heavy heart.

Now that Wang Corporation has accomplished so much,

I believe that we should do more to help our society,

and reach out to those that are in need.

Chao.

Liu sir. Something I'd like to discuss with you.

Sure. I thought you're taking some time off.

What are you doing here?

Pao is pregnant.

Rather than just wither away,

I might as well try to provide for them.

I'd like to come back to work.

Congratulations.

But are you able to work like this?

Everyone in Taiwan has their eyes on the Wang Shih-tsung case.

Put me on the case.

There's no one else in the bureau that can handle a case like this.

Mrs. Wang,

can you tell us the details about

what happened to Mr. Wang last night?

As thorough as possible.

I couldn't fall asleep last night,

so I went to the terrace in our mansion,

so I could watch the night scene.

Afterwards, I was heading back to my room,

but I noticed that Shih-tsung's room

had a strange sigil on the door.

Then, I smelled something pungent.

Wang Tien-yu came back again.

He was performing some kind of a ritual.

Wang Tien-yu.

I'll call the cops if you don't stop right now.

Mere mortals would reveal their spiritual forms.

Gods of Autumn and Spring grant me the power.

When the moon is full and the time is right,

drag the souls and entice the spirits.

Let him go, Wang Tien-yu.

Sacrifice your mortal form,

one soul for another.

Lost souls in the corrupted world,

off you rest in the paradise.

He just kept smashing, and smashing.

Shih-tsung's head got cracked so bad,

his blood splattered all over me.

After god knows how many times he smashed him,

I felt extremely dizzy from seeing all the blood,

and I passed out.

When I woke up again,

maid Chang and the police were standing in front of me.

And then?

I remember last night,

I got startled by some noise.

So I got out of bed to check if I heard it wrong.

I heard someone screaming, so I went to check.

I saw young master Tien-yu.

I'm pretty sure it's the young master.

He's quite easy to recognize, with all those tattoos on his body.

Then I thought maybe I should go to the master's room and check on him.

Hi there, we've received an emergency call from Mr. Wang.

Is he all right?

Why did you all keep saying that Wang Tien-yu was back to the house again?

Two weeks ago, on New Year's Eve,

Wang Tien-yu suddenly came back to the house.

He'd been gone for a long time.

Wang Shih-tsung, Mom is dead because of you.

You're a murderer.

You're a murderer.

Gods of Autumn and Spring will condemn you.

When the moon is full and the time is right,

drag the souls and entice the spirits.

Mere mortals would reveal their spiritual forms.

Gods of Autumn and Spring grant me the power.

That day, I saw the same sigil on his chest.

He said that it let him see his mother's spirit.

That's a kind of wizardry he and his mother believed in.

It’s connected to some Buddhism gods.

He was channelling Tang Su-chen's soul for revenge.

So Wang Tien-yu doesn't live in the mansion?

After his mother passed away, he was really heartbroken.

He left the mansion without a word.

- Prosecutor. - Prosecutor.

Greetings, prosecutor.

The chief prosecutor put me on this case specifically.

That's great. The chief prosecutor sent the best man for the job.

I have read the will of Wang Shih-tsung.

I noticed that besides Li Yen, there's a second successor.

This part still needs some clarification.

WAN YU-FAN (52) CEO OF WANG CORPORATION

OLD FRIEND OF WANG SHIH-TSUNG

Mr. Wan, much appreciated.

Helping us with our investigation right off the plane.

Such a terrible incident.

Of course I'd come back sooner.

Please verify that this is the will of Wang Shih-tsung, correct?

According to the will,

all properties under Mr. Wang's name,

including the ownership of his corporation,

will be inherited by his wife Li Yen, correct?

Yes.

Li Yen has no reason to kill Shih-tsung.

Wang Tien-yu is the only direct relative of Wang Shih-tsung.

Yet Wang Shih-tsung disinherited him,

claiming he failed his duties as an heir.

Li Yen became first on the list of heirs, and you're in second.

Can you explain that for us?

Maybe this is part of why Wang Tien-yu wanted to kill Shih-tsung.

But according to other statements, Wang Tien-yu did this for his mother.

What exactly did Wang Shih-tsung do to his mother?

Su-chen eventually got sick right here.

Doctor said it's severe depression.

She once told me,

after she gave birth to the young master,

master Wang hadn't touched her for over a decade.

You know that master Wang would often go on business trips.

Every time he came back,

she would find a woman's hair on his suit.

His clothes would have lipstick stains.

You see how that can make her depression worse?

All in all, the master was having an affair.

And that led to the incident today.

An unfortunate family like this,

with such a dysfunctional couple,

the child always suffers the most.

That's why he ended up doing something like this.

Why do you have to look exactly like your father?

Tell me.

Why?

The day before Su-chen passed away,

she told me she couldn't face her son Yu-yu.

Because she felt that he's growing more and more like his father.

The master was quite a heartless person.

After Su-chen passed away, he only showed up at her memorial service,

so he could keep up appearances for the media.

All of Su-chen's funeral details were handled by Dr. Wan.

You don't seem to like your boss that much.

To be honest, you're right.

Before I started working there, he had already changed a few dozen maids.

The point is, he was already sick, yet he went and married a new wife.

What's that all about?

How did he and his new wife meet each other?

I think it's Dr. Wan who introduced them.

She was one of the orphans from the corporate orphanage.

Mrs. Wang, we just need you to verify your statement is coherent.

Don't worry. We got the whole session recorded in audio and video.

If you find nothing wrong in your statement, you can sign it now.

THE KILLER IS LEFT HANDED, JUDGING BY THE INJURY.

LEFT-HANDED

Li Yen's lawyer pleaded to the court for no detention.

After all, Wang Tien-yu is the prime suspect.

I won't release her just yet.

The murder weapon has Li Yen's full fingerprint on it.

Besides, judging from the blood on her clothes,

and the fact that she's a left-hander,

she's not in the clear yet.

But Li Yen is about to inherit everything,

she really doesn't have a motive.

Besides, if she really did it, why would she stay at the crime scene?

Whether she has a motive or a complice is still unclear.

All the news said Tang Su-chen died from a falling accident.

Go check if that's what really killed her.

Yes, sir.

- Your turn. - Me again?

You're the rookie.

TAIPEI POLICE DEPARTMENT XINYI 2ND PRECINCT

Hi, Prosecutor Liang.

You didn't say you're coming back.

What's wrong with it?

We barely get to see each other at home.

But why would Liu sir have you take "this" case?

Just help me check the things I requested.

Get some rest if you can.

Later.

Wang Shih-tsung.

You've embarrassed me so much in this lifetime.

I'll definitely make you pay.

Roughly a year ago,

scientist Tang Su-chen committed suicide due to religious reasons,

jumping off of the terrace from her house.

The whole incident was filmed by one journalist.

According to his statement, Tang Su-chen texted him that day,

claiming she's going to expose Wang Shih-tsung.

He rushed to the rendezvous for the scoop.

But once he got there, she jumped off the terrace above the driveway,

right in front of him.

The case was closed as a suicide.

The weird thing is, all the media covered the story

like she fell by accident.

What did Tang Su-chen throw out just then?

Ghost money?

The officer on the case said he didn't find anything. It was a windy day.

I found this book among Tang Su-chen's belongings.

Liang, hand it to him.

Maid Chang mentioned the couple was dysfunctional.

Tang Su-chen then became obsessed with a type of wizardry based on Yin-Yang.

It drove her down the deep end.

HAVING ONE YIN AND ONE YANG IS THE RIGHT WAY

She even chose the fiercest curse available,

The Spiritual Curse.

She carved a blood sigil on her own body, turning herself into a wraith,

trapped in the mortal world forever.

Bringing the most vicious curse upon Wang Shih-tsung.

Sacrifice oneself to become a wraith.

The target would be cursed to face all kinds of venom and disaster,

doomed until they die.

Shortly after Tang Su-chen's suicide,

Wang Shih-tsung was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Wang Corporation also faced a serious financial crisis.

That's just a coincidence.

I know such a theory is hard to believe.

But you know what?

According to the book,

the ritual that Tang Su-chen performed

condemns her soul for all eternity.

Tang Su-chen's autopsy report shows she had been inhaling hallucinogens.

We found large amount of Hyoscyamine in her lungs and nasal cavity.

The incense found at the crime scene also contained this chemical.

It comes from a plant called belladonna.

Thus, we figure that

Wang Tien-yu knocked Wang Shih-tsung out using this belladonna incense.

Then, he beat him to death with a vajra.

Wang Tien-yu chose this specific method.

Clearly there's a deeper motive besides revenge.

One thing is certain though, the security camera outside the mansion

filmed Wang Tien-yu's return on the day of the murder.

Speaking of security cameras, what surprised me the most,

is that there is another camera in Li Yen's room.

- In Li Yen's room? - Yes.

To spy on her?

We've confirmed it's Dr. Wan who installed it.

Dr. Wan said he has Li Yen's consent.

But he refused to clarify why it was installed.

Was Li Yen in her room during the murder?

According to her statement, she was on the terrace looking at the night scene.

The camera footage verified that she was not in her room.

So when the murder took place, Li Yen had no alibi.

That's correct.

But when we were checking the camera in her room,

we found some weird footage. Take a look at this first.

And the next day.

What is she saying?

The forensics ran it by a lip-reading expert.

What she's saying is,

"Tang Su-chen, I'm not scared of you.

You can't harm me at all."

Next one.

Three days in a row, we found footage of Li Yen seemingly being possessed.

Also, prosecutor, this is Li Yen's psychiatric assessment you asked for.

The results are normal.

Mrs. Wang,

please help clarify the footage that you see.

A year ago, I came to Taiwan and got married with Shih-tsung.

Please.

What's this, it's pretty heavy.

Here, over here. This way please.

Shih-tsung's mansion is huge, but there's only him and maid Chang.

Yet, I... I often felt like someone else was there.

One day, maid Chang mentioned in passing

how Tang Su-chen killed herself there.

Tang Su-chen,

I'm not scared of you.

You can't harm me at all.

That night, I saw Tang Su-chen.

I always felt like she wanted to take over my body.

The forensics report shows,

the splatter patterns on your clothes suggest you straddled Wang Shih-tsung.

Did you also feel your body being possessed on the night of the murder?

I told you, I was just trying to stop Wang Tien-yu that night.

I wanted to stop him from the murder.

But he just kept bashing Shih-tsung's head.

That whole scene was too bloody.

Prosecutor,

have you found Wang Tien-yu yet?

The incense at the crime scene, it had Hyoscyamine, right?

Just like belladonna.

To grow belladonna, you'll need specific calcareous soil and water.

There are only a few spots in Taiwan with soil like that.

You can try locating him with it.

You know a lot about chemistry?

There's a spot that his mom left for him.

Get me all the footage in Li Yen's room.

Yes, sir.

Morning.

What's the progress on finding Wang Tien-yu?

We've located several mountains with calcareous soil.

We're ready to start the search. But there's a lot of ground to cover.

We're gonna need 2 or 3 days.

Off light.

Wan Yu-fan.

WAN YU-FAN

WAN YU-FAN AND TANG SU-CHEN'S SECRET AFFAIR EXPOSED

HUMAN BRAIN REPLICATION CONTROVERSY OVER RNA NEURONS PROJECT

RESEARCHERS WAN YU-FAN AND TANG SU-CHEN SHARE THEIR REGRETS

Looking at the past financial reports of Wang Corporation,

the insurance branch was in the red 6 months ago,

affecting the whole corporation's stock prices.

Over the past 2 years, it's estimated that

the market value of Wang Corporation has dropped 47%.

A rough total of 76.7 billion dollars.

That's half the amount of the corporation's assets.

- Mr. Liang, your last dose of chemo. - the CEO of Wang corporation, Dr. Wan

reinitiated a controversial RNA restoration technology from 20 years ago,

and annouced its deployment into curing cancer.

He hopes this can help save the corporation financially.

Analysts have estimated that a high-tech medical therapy like this

could bring in billions globally for the corporation.

As soon as the market opened today,

- their stock prices finally stabilized. - Here's the file you wanted.

Why do you need Li Yen's trial agreement?

Any new leads?

TEST SUBJECT: LI YEN

I've watched all the footage from her room.

You said she acted like she was possessed for a few days?

If we took that period as a dividing line,

I noticed that she really did change a lot.

This is when she first moved in.

Maid Chang said when Li Yen first showed up,

she was a well-mannered, polite young girl.

This is when she met Wan Yu-fan for the first time.

She seemed pretty unfamiliar.

She likely knew about the camera.

So when she first got there, she acted pretty cautiously the first 2 months.

She would only get changed in the bathroom.

Here's the weird part.

This is a few days after her possession.

I noticed that ever since then,

she would come out naked after taking a shower.

She wouldn't even close the door.

But that's not the biggest difference.

Li Yen is left-handed now.

But when she first arrived,

she signed this trial agreement with her right hand.

Not only did she change her dominant hand,

her signature on the will later became totally different as well.

I seem to recall that all three members in Tang Su-chen's family are left-handed.

Take a look at this.

We all know that controlling the brain allows you to command to the body.

All of our thinking, perception, and sensation as a human being

are the result of the brain's subconscious electrical sIgnals

performing massive calculations through neurons.

Throughout the years, while our research center devoted itself to RNA research,

we've discovered ways to affect neurons in the brain with RNA,

and then use it to cure cancer.

This is the lab mouse of our experiment. A003.

Here's a scan of its healthy neurons before the experiment.

We induced cancer cells in some parts of its brain.

You can clearly see its neurons being severely impaired.

Then, we produced RNA with healthy neurons,

this RNA is purified and crystallized into a protein powder.

By administering this RNA powder to the impaired parts,

we saw a neuron restoration rate of up to 92.35%.

In short, we replicate healthy neurons,

then implant them using RNA technology back to the brain when needed.

This restores the brain to its original state.

This is a sophisticated and costly technology.

That's why we need your funding

to achieve this milestone of cancer treatment for all mankind.

Hi, Dr. Wan,

if mouse A003 was implanted with another mouse's RNA, what would happen?

Sorry, we don't have time for questions today.

Excuse me.

Now recording.

What I'm about to tell you is crucial to our corporation's survival.

I hope you can help keep it confidential.

We really can't suffer another mishap.

Don't worry, our investigation is closed to the public.

All details will remain confidential.

My first question for Dr. Wan...

What exactly did you do to Li Yen?

A year ago, Shih-tsung was diagnosed with brain cancer.

As his health deteriorated, he became unable to manage the corporation.

Back then, against our strong objection,

he decided to launch a high risk product from our insurance branch.

The consequence of this bad decision,

as you've seen on the news,

our insurance branch almost went under.

The whole corporation was crippled financially.

If the board found out about his illness,

they would use it to force him to step down.

He couldn't accept his empire taken over by outsiders.

He wanted his own family to inherit the corporation.

However, his only option was a troubled young man.

Shih-tsung decided to find a suitable wife and father a new heir.

His wife and I will be proxies to the heir.

When the child turns 18, we'll return everything to the child.

Wang Shih-tsung got brain cancer, and could die at any minute.

How did he have time for all this?

I used our RNA restoration technology to prolong his life,

to buy him more time.

You mean the RNA surgery has started clinical trial then?

Yeah, but he was the only subject.

Shih-tsung's family has a cancer genetic factor.

So he had me genetically modify Li Yen's baby to prevent cancer.

However, the procedure caused some side effects in Li Yen.

She became paranoid and would experience seizures and spasms.

Just like the footage that you saw.

Sounds like you had Wang Shih-tsung's best interest at heart.

Then can you please explain this footage?

All I can say, is that the truth is far from what you've seen.

Then what exactly is the truth?

I would like you to tell us about your past with Tang Su-chen.

WAN YU-FAN AND TANG SU-CHEN'S SECRET AFFAIR EXPOSED

You seem to be particularly close with both of Wang Shih-tsung's wives.

You also verified that your RNA technology can be used on someone else's brain.

Clearly, the truth might be far from what I've imagined.

Since when did tabloid gossip become viable evidence in murder investigations?

Of course not.

But we also interviewed Lai Cheng-kuang,

the journalist who witnessed Tang Su-chen's suicide.

We were surprised to learn that you were present as well, Dr. Wan.

Su-chen, I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

It's all my fault.

According to Lai Cheng-kuang, you paid him off.

That's why he did not mention you in his statement.

Why don't you hear about my theory?

You were devastated by Tang Su-chen's death.

Your exposed affair drove her to suicide.

After Wang Shih-tsung got cancer,

you introduced Li Yen to him, under the pretense of fathering an heir.

In fact, you're using RNA technology to copy Tang Su-chen over Li Yen.

Then the two of you manipulated Wang Tien-yu to kill Wang Shih-tsung.

If you don't have any real evidence, don't waste my time with your nonsense.

You have no idea how much I've sacrificed for the Wang's.

If you're here to ask these questions, then you can go now.

Can't believe he would go so far for his love.

If human brains can really be replicated...

Damn, this is basically modern necromancy.

Did he really do it for love?

Besides, you really believe that's the soul of Tang Su-chen?

What else could it be?

Even if he really replicated Tang's soul,

how could this RNA replication still be the soul of the same person?

The way I see it, it's just the living's obsession with the dead.

That obsession is quite essential to a lot of people, you know.

The dead gets to just walk away, but what about the living?

From then on, they'd have to face everything on their own.

We'd rather believe that their souls really exist.

No matter what form they take.

Time for breakfast.

Liang's team has located Wang Tien-yu's hideout.

The operation is tomorrow, you need to sign the warrant.

Also, you remember how Wang Shih-tsung's phone got smashed?

Yeah, I do. What about it?

Forensics said they've recovered the data.

That's great. I wonder if we'll find new leads.

- Remember to make a backup. - Yes, sir.

UPLOADING...

UPLOAD COMPLETE

Wang Tien-yu.

Alpha Team is moving into the cabin.

Alpha Team reporting, no sign of the target in the cabin.

I'll take the squad to search other areas.

TIEN-YU, MY SON

Alpha Team reporting, we found a suspicious building out back.

Were those gunshots?

Alpha Team, what's with the gunshot?

Alpha Team, come in. We need a sitrep. Did the target open fire?

Get him!

Liang.

Go away.

Go away.

Don't move!

Wang Tien-yu.

Tell us what you were doing between 23:47 of 25 Feb and 00:05 of 26 Feb.

Why did you return to the Wang mansion?

Sacrifice your mortal form,

one soul for another.

Lost souls in the corrupted world,

off you rest in paradise.

- Wang Tien-yu! - That old man deserved to die!

Mom was breathing the day before.

I want him to burn in hell!

I want him to burn in hell!

I want Wang Shih-tsung to burn in hell!

Yu-yu, if one day I'm gone,

you'll keep watering our flowers in the mountain, all right?

Where are you going?

The gods are here to take me away.

Mom will be waiting for you in the sacred land.

Please fill out the information of the deceased.

Thank you.

Excuse me, we need a picture for our archives.

Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang, are you all right?

Are you feeling ill?

Mrs. Wang, don't worry.

This is a police station.

Wang Tien-yu wouldn't dare try anything.

Wang Tien-yu.

That's it?

It only recorded the part when they started fighting,

then the phone got smashed.

We've gathered you here today

hoping to cross-examine your statements.

That way we can claify what really happened at the murder scene.

Mr. Wang Tien-yu, do you know this lady?

Mr. Wang Tien-yu.

Mr. Wang Tien-yu.

Do you know this lady?

On my mom's death anniversary, I went home to pay my tribute.

Yu-yu,

your mother left this for you.

When I left, she handed me my mother's farewell letter.

A farewell letter.

Mrs. Wang, you didn't mention the death anniversary or a farewell letter.

Care to explain it to us?

Mrs. Wang, are you all right?

Lawyer, what's wrong with her?

Mrs. Wang, are you all right?

Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang, we need your side of the story.

Yu-yu.

How's our greenhouse in the mountain?

Did you know?

Wang Shih-tsung hid my letter.

I waited a year for you.

Finally, you came home again,

so I got the chance to hand it to you personally.

Yu-yu...

mom wants to thank you.

Thank you for killing that old man.

I'm here to tell you...

I've seen the soul of that devil burning and suffering in hell.

Yu-yu.

- Mom. - Yu-yu.

You did a great job, Yu-yu.

Yu-yu, you did great, I really appreciate it.

Mom!

Mrs. Wang!

Call an ambulance.

Yu-yu,

when you read this letter,

I'd be a wandering ghost already,

lingering in the mortal world.

My marriage with that devil

was the beginning of our misfortune.

Today, I offer myself as sacrifice,

to prove my dedication.

I shall turn into a wraith, bringing a curse upon that devil.

You shall be the priest.

In exactly one year later,

when the moon is full and the time is right,

drag the souls and entice the spirits.

The gods of Autumn and Spring will grant you power.

Mere mortals would reveal their spiritual forms.

Slay the tyrant in the name of the gods and justice.

One soul for another.

Wang Shih-tsung will be condemned to hell.

And your mother can ascend to paradise and reincarnate.

May the heavens guide my son

that he may fulfill my dying wish,

so our souls can meet again in the sacred land.

INDICTMENT

Life imprisonment?

Actually, I'm not sure about it.

But he has confessed to the crime.

All the evidence match his confession.

Wang Tien-yu is still young.

When he gets parole, he'd be able to get out in 20 years.

He won't even be 40 yet.

Still a long life ahead of him.

The court can be the judge of the rest.

I can't say why,

Wang Tien-yu reminds me of the day I got my judiciary exam result.

I'll always remember how I felt that day.

It's more loss than joy.

I still remember holding the result,

I went to my favorite lu wei vendor beneath the cram school by myself,

and told the worker lady I was going to be a prosecutor.

I got a heaping plate for free that day.

Back then, I hoped someone would be there to tell me,

"You did great."

You know what?

If I kept taking days off, it'd be like a suspension.

I'd only get half the pay.

But if I keep working,

my regular wage plus the allowance

each month

adds up to 120,000.

I'm not Wang Shih-tsung.

There's not much I can give you.

I can only get as much as possible each month.

Don't say that.

Come on.

I feel like having lu wei now.

What's wrong?

You've been exhausted lately.

Get some rest for a few days.

It's all right.

I'll get plenty of rest later.

Stop talking. Get some sleep.

Chao? Chao!

Chao!

Chao!

I'll leave you to it, Mrs. Wang.

Finally, a proper meal.

You've been through a lot lately,

even passed out in the interrogation room.

Chao.

You're up?

What are we doing here?

You had a seizure in the car.

How did it happen?

The cancer has reached your brain.

There are several tumors.

Some of them are pressuring your cortex, causing the seizure.

Some of them are pressuring your veins.

The doctor has performed an emergency brain surgery.

You have been in a coma for two days.

My hands...

my legs...

I can't move them.

Don't worry about it.

We'll do the RNA restoration surgery tomorrow.

Dr. Ko got you qualified for the clinical trial.

And it's free.

After the surgery, you'll be better soon.

Don't worry.

Is it ready now?

Yeah.

Madam, wait, Madam.

Madam, after being detained for so many days, don't you feel wronged?

What's your plan on reforming Wang Corporation after your recovery?

Do you feel frustrated by Taiwan's justice system?

Are you sure Wang Tien-yu is the killer?

The 18-year-old suspect Wang Tien-yu

has been charged with murder a few days ago.

According to the prosecution, Wang Tien-yu lost his mother a year ago,

and held a grudge against his father who had been neglecting them.

It's been chaos in the family over the past 2 years.

It eventually led to the murder.

- Sir, let me help you, okay? - No, you back.

- Madam, he's trying to use the toilet. - I'll go with him.

No need, I can do it myself.

Chao.

Let Mia do her job and help you, all right?

I'll be outside.

I can shower myself.

I can shower myself.

How are you going to do it?

Let me help you.

It could be a bacterial infection.

He just went through RNA surgery. His immune system is still weak.

If his food is not clean or fresh enough,

he's more likely to get infected than regular people.

I'll get you some anitbiotics.

Doctor,

after the RNA restoration surgery,

will my limbs and excretory system regain function?

The cancer cells in your spine are the cause of that.

That's not something RNA surgery can fix.

I'll get you some antibiotics first.

You should get some rest now.

Hello, help, someone is trying to kill me, help.

- It's all here. - And the files?

All in the computer.

You're not healthy enough to go to court at all.

I'll be at every court session of this case.

Let me prep for it now.

The murder of Wang Shih-tsung.

SMARTPHONE AUDIO RECORDINGS

CLOUD FOLDER

- Hello, Liang, what's up? - Pao,

the precinct said that Dr. Wan tried to kill Li Yen.

Wait, what?

The precinct said that Dr. Wan tried to kill Li Yen.

But Dr. Wan got away. You should see if you can get here now.

I'm at the hospital.

I'll get back to you later.

What's wrong?

The corporation is falling apart.

Why won't you hand over the CEO position?

It belongs to me, not you.

What have you done?

Why did you edit out the last part?

I used our RNA restoration technology to prolong his life.

You mean the RNA surgery has started clinical trial then?

Yes, but he's the only subject.

Morning, Ting-ting.

Morning, senior.

Oh, right. I need this back ASAP. I haven't backed it up yet.

Wang Tien-yu.

What do you want?

The corporation is falling apart.

Why won't you hand over the CEO position?

It belongs to me.

Not you.

Put yourself in my position, you'd make the same choice.

The corporation is falling apart.

I don't care what you and Dr. Wan are planning.

You got something I want.

Chao's cancer cells have spread to his brain.

The doctor in your hospital said he's only got 2 to 3 months left.

I want you to perform that RNA surgery on him.

Fine.

Their RNA technology can save you.

So what?

So you tampered with the evidence?

Wang Tien-yu had a motive to begin with.

He confessed to his crime as well, right?

Do you have any idea what you're doing?

You're exonerating a murderer.

You know, even if I didn't do this,

those rich people can find a way to get Li Yen out.

What abour your principles as a law enforcer?

For you and our child, I can live without principles.

I just want you to live.

What's the point of doing that?

I'm just dragging on with my life, buying useless time.

Even if I recovered from my paralysis, the cancer would still recur.

I'd be back on the wheelchair, wearing diapers in no time.

Any unclean food can kill me in an instant.

Dragging on with a broken body like this, I'd rather just die and get it over with.

You really don't have to do that. I'm living in misery.

TAIPEI POLICE DEPARTMENT XINYI 2ND PRECINCT

Last night, Dr. Wan came by the house.

He said he's giving me another routine shot for the baby.

However, half way through the injection, I started losing consciousness.

I quickly yanked the needle.

Then, he dare forced me to hand over CEO to him.

He even handed me a contract, forcing me to transfer the ownership to him.

He said he'd kill me if I didn't.

- I refused, and we wound up fighting. - He really cares about this case.

Coming all the way here.

To think that I trusted him so much before,

yet he's treating me like this.

Get this straight.

Wang Corporation belongs to me, not Wan Yu-fan.

What do you want?

The corporation is falling apart. Why won't you hand over the CEO position?

It belongs to me, not you.

Mrs. Wang, please verify your statement.

If there are no mistakes, sign here.

I'd like to take another look at Wang Shih-tsung's will.

And those books from Tang Su-chen.

Let's have a chat.

Put yourself in my position, you'd make the same choice.

It belongs to me, not...

Say what you're here to say and fast.

I have an important board meeting later.

I want to share my theory with you.

After Wang Shih-tsung got sick, he became more and more incompetent.

Over the year, he kept making serious mistakes on big decisions.

Over the past 2 years, it's estimated that

the market value of Wang Corporation has dropped 47%.

A rough total of 76.7 billion dollars.

You, being the successor, started feeling pretty anxious.

That's why you figured that Wang Shih-tsung needed to die soon.

On Tang Su-chen's death anniversary, an opportunity presented itself.

You knew Wang Tien-yu hated his father, and so he had the strongest motive,

along with the perfect method to kill him.

Yu-yu.

And you just had to flip that killing switch.

Wang Shih-tsung, Mom is dead because of you.

Sacrifice your mortal form, one soul for another.

Lost souls in the corrupted world, off you rest in the paradise.

Wang Tien-yu.

What do you want?

How can I be so foolish after getting old?

The corporation is falling apart. Why won't you hand over the CEO position?

It belongs to me.

Not you.

Put yourself in my position, you'd make the same choice.

Put yourself in my position, you'd make the same choice.

Did Li Yen write the words "Wang Shih-tsung" on any other documents?

At the crematorium, she wrote a form for Wang Shih-tsung.

Not only did you know to use Wang Tien-yu to kill Wang Shih-tsung,

you put on an act for us.

It doesn't feel like you're just a 20-year-old girl.

In the tomes from Tang Su-chen, it's mentioned that...

going against the principles of Yin-Yang in nature,

one would be punished by the gods.

Perhaps she's been trying to give us the truth.

It's actually you in Li Yen's body, right?

Wang Shih-tsung.

Even without tumors in my brain, I never had such good logic like you.

Why did you transfer yourself to a woman?

Let's go.

Having a body with cancer can't be easy. Right, Prosecutor?

Every day you wake up, feeling like you've died once already.

Not knowing when Death would really knock on your door.

That's how torturous cancer can be.

Remember your RNA session next week.

Don't put your wife's effort in vain.

You see, we're now in the same boat.

Let's take a family photo tomorrow.

You're not mad at me anymore?

You did this all because of me.

Didn't Buddhism often teach you to let go?

I think I should try to learn how to let go.

Because I could be gone, all of a sudden.

You should find someone who has a better temper

and is kinder to you.

Don't go with any of those guys in your unit.

Especially Liang.

All I need is you.

Actually, everyday when I go to bed,

I'm afraid that I might never wake up again.

I won't be able to see you again.

Won't be able to see you two again.

I'm off to work now.

Call me if you need anything.

- What do you want? - Don't worry.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Don't worry.

I'm here to ask for your help.

I really do need your help,

Thank you.

I'll tell you everything.

20 years ago, when the research center was first established,

Shih-tsung and I were the closest.

Su-chen was one of the researchers at the center.

If I turned into a woman, would you still love me?

No matter what you turn into, I'll always love you.

Since his childhood, Shih-tsung always felt like he had a soul of a woman.

But due to his early success, he became a public figure pretty young,

and he had to suppress that side of him.

Let's give this happy couple our best. Happy wedding.

Under pressure as a well-known entrepreneur,

he eventually married Tang Su-chen.

Acting like so-called normal people.

They acted like a happy couple in front of cameras.

But in private, Shih-tsung always gave Su-chen the cold shoulder.

And I, probably out of guilt,

and seeing Su-chen's depression get worse,

I would try to take extra care of her.

In the end, she became more and more dependent on me.

And even had other feelings for me.

That RNA stabilization test result you and Su-chen are working on, how did it go?

It's quite promising. What do you want?

As Shih-tsung's business empire expanded, his ambition grew.

One day, he proposed an idea.

One that can turn him into a woman, and let him run the corporation forever.

The soul-transferring project.

How gross.

You've been lying to me.

You've been using me.

I'll curse you with the most vicious way possible.

Su-chen, who's been so lonely over a decade,

was trying to get proof of Shih-tsung cheating on her.

However, she got something more shocking to her.

What should we do?

That journalist, are you sure you've taken care of it?

That's right.

Shih-tsung! Shih-tsung! Shih-tsung!

After Su-chen's death, Shih-tsung suddenly got diagnosed with brain tumors.

We had to initiate the plan ahead of schedule.

TRIAL COMPENSATION: 100,000 USD

Shih-tsung went through candidates in our orphanage,

and picked Li Yen to become his wife.

He then tricked her into testing for RNA, claiming it's genetic cancer prevention.

Meanwhile, I used the RNA restoration technology

to delay Shih-tsung's brain tumor from getting worse.

Shih-tsung's original storage space for art

became our lab to conduct private surgeries due to its ideal conditions.

Our plan was the ultimate use of RNA technology.

I scanned the neurons in Shih-tsung's brain,

and then produced RNA powders.

Finally, I implanted them in Li Yen's brain.

For the sake of Shih-tsung, I kept persuading myself.

That girl owed her life to us.

When she signed the agreement, she already gave up her own soul.

Over the next few days,

Shih-tsung's perception and memories would be gradually replicated to Li Yen.

Tang Su-chen, I'm not scared of you.

You can't harm me at all.

Then, by using artificial fertilization,

we delivered Shih-tsung's sperm directly to the uterus of Li Yen.

Not only did Shih-tsung get transferred to Li Yen,

in the future, he'll be transferred to the baby that she gives birth to.

TESTATE: WANG SHIH-TSUNG

This way, he'll be able to run Wang Corporation himself forever.

His original self and the replicant overlapped for a while.

It was going well under Shih-tsung's supervision,

but his mind started getting more and more confused.

He would often call me out of nowhere,

thinking that the whole world was out to get him.

Shih-tsung, calm down first.

She's doing it for the corporation's best interest.

I don't care. Get back here on the first plane tomorrow.

I need to rewrite the will ASAP.

I need someone else to take her place.

But unexpectedly,

she went out of her way to kill Shih-tsung.

That's all of it.

Shortly after I got up, I passed out all of a sudden.

Almost soured the whole plan.

Why didn't you clue me in on something so serious?

Would it matter?

Anyway, things are now going the way I wanted.

Now the only important thing is if the surgery is completed.

I know Li Yen had hematophobia.

But why would her hematophobia affect me?

I told you since the very beginning. The surgery couldn't be 100% successful.

Some of the original subconsciousness would still be there.

Is there anyway to fix it now then?

Why would you tamper with Su-chen's letter?

Causing Wang Tien-yu to do the murder?

Yu-fan,

we have been through this discussion many times.

It's only a matter of time before Shih-tsung is gone.

Wang Shih-tsung is not in this world anymore.

There's only Li Yen now.

You get it?

Yu-fan, what are you injecting?

You want Li Yen out of your brain, right?

This is the restoration medication...

with a bit of anesthesia.

You're not going to harm me, are you?

Just get some rest. The surgery will be done soon.

That's your nervous face.

Don't you think I can tell?

We need to take responsibility for our past mistakes.

I'm not dying with you.

Wan Yu-fan.

Wan Yu-fan, are you out of your mind? I'm Shih-tsung.

My Shih-tsung is long gone now.

We've been together for 20 years.

I don't know whether the surgery failed,

making Shih-tsung so unfamiliar to me.

Or maybe,

I just never really knew this partner beside me.

You've done so much for him, is it worth it?

I asked your wife the same thing.

You know, even if he had the surgery, it's just delaying the inevitable?

You've done so much for him, is it worth it?

If Chao was is in my position, he would do the same for me.

Now we need to find a way to convict Li Yen.

I can only rely on you to get close to her.

And get her to confess.

Combining that with the evidence I have,

I can prove that she's Wang Shih-tsung.

Let me get convicted with her.

Put an end to all this.

No. It would also drag Pao down.

Is it still possible to bring Li Yen back?

Li Yen cannot be restored.

Shih-tsung didn't want to leave any loose ends.

He erased all the files from Li Yen's brain scan.

I got an idea.

I can make her confess.

Hi.

I'm prosecutor Liang Wen-chao.

Yes yes, madam said that you'd come.

Here, this way please.

Here, this way.

Over here.

Madam, your guest is here.

Come on in.

Maid Chang quit the job?

She used to hate me so much.

Now that I'm in charge, we don't have to meet again.

She did hate you very much, Wang Shih-tsung.

Prosecutor Liang, you made an urgent appointment today,

I don't think it's about me getting a new maid.

Don't you think Tang Su-chen's curse really worked?

Not only did you get sick, your corporation crumbled.

Your family and loved ones are all gone.

So what?

That's the difference between me and you.

Young man, remember this.

Affection is the greatest obstacle on the path to success.

The more affectionate you get the less successful you'd be.

Just look at you all, being toyed by affection so badly.

Your wife Pao dared to commit perjury as a police officer.

Wang Tien-yu, a loser that kept trying to help his lunatic mother.

You're all trapped by affection, and which of you has a good outcome?

What about Wan Yu-fan?

Have you ever loved him?

He's the exception, right?

I did.

But that to me, is like old news from a past lifetime.

He's the only one I loved in my previous life,

also the greatest mistake of my life.

Breaking news.

Shocking updates coming from Wang Corporation.

Just a while ago, the new CEO, Li Yen, who's only taken office for 21 days,

has announced via her lawyer to the public that all of her stock

- would be managed by the board. - From this point forward,

she'll no longer be a part of managing the corporation.

After the former CEO Wan Yu-fan was relieved

of his position and succession rights,

this is another drastic change of personnels in Wang Corporation.

I want us to be together forever.

Madam, you're home.

Hello, Liang Hsin-yu.

I'm your father who's not going to greet you in time.

My name is Liang Wen-chao.

You can ask your mom about it.

When I worked in the prosecutor's office, I was really cool.

I caught a lot of bad guys.

But this time,

I'm about to give in.

Because rather than catching bad guys,

I want to protect the two of you.

The corporation is falling apart. Why won't you hand over the CEO position?

It belongs to me...

Liu Sir, I'm turning myself in.

This is the evidence I've been concealing.

Put yourself in my position, you'd make the same choice.

Your honor, I'm pleading guilty. I killed Wang Shih-tsung.

That recording you heard is my voice.

I hid the evidence to get away with murder.

You have to promise me,

you'll grow up safe and sound.

That way, once I'm gone,

you can help protect your mom for me.

Li Yen, charged with first-degree murder.

Every time your mom frowns,

you'll help give her a hug for me.

Let her know,

I'm always there around you two.

Yu-yu,

mom wants you to live your life well.

I know you'll do a great job.

Even if you run into any difficulties,

there'll be plenty of love to help you through it.

Just like your mom keeping me company all along,

through the last days of my life.

I'm really fortunate.

In the end, I got to know what love really is.

I'm sorry.

I can't keep you company.

I love you.

I'll always be around you.

- 2876. - Here.

- 8367. - Here.

- 1290. - Here.

Hsin-yu has her father's look.
