[Unexpected Falling]

[Episode 1]

The price of RON 92 gasoline

is up by 0.19 yuan every liter.

The country's gasoline prices will be increased.

The expected increase

is about 250 yuan every ton.

[Phoenix Television]

Jinshang Capital's management

has announced its intention to switch

from product-centric to services.

The spillover effects

of certain large firms

are increasing continuously.

The global market is seeing extremely high

cross-district and cross-regional liquidity.

In the future, the company will continue to pay attention

to new travel companies, biotechnology companies,

and e-commerce service platforms in the list of ten companies

that are expected to enter

the Innovation and Technology Board.

Investors are advised to focus on cyclical industries

that are in line with current macroeconomics.

In terms of funding...

Breakfast is ready.

I'm going back to sleep.

Okay.

The funding rate will fluctuate

around the policy interest rate.

Recently,

the Asia regional manager at Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management

Investment Strategy Group said,

economic activity

is expected to slow down

in most countries and regions,

including the US,

in 2019.

Global economic growth is expected

to be 3.0 percent,

slightly lower than the previous years'

3.2 percent.

Currently, most advanced economies are...

Zhenzhen.

Remember to pick Su Wen up.

I will.

The risk of economic recession

is maintained at...

[Monthly salary] [For my wifey's safekeeping]

[InterContinental Hotel] Alright, don't be angry.

Yan Xiaowen, what is wrong with you?

Why did you ask

Su Wen to come?

Not only was she my ex,

but we were also schoolmates.

[Ruan Zhenzhen: How is the wedding?]

[Su Wen]

[Su Wen: I am the prettiest at the venue]

[Ruan Zhenzhen]

[Because of Love] [Yan Xiaowen & Tang Tang]

You guys...

That's right.

Think about it.

We have so many

mutual friends

and former classmates.

If she was the only one I didn't invite,

well,

wouldn't people gossip about that?

I don't care.

This is my wedding.

What if she ruins it?

That would be...

No, no.

Rest assured.

That won't happen.

Su Wen

can be a little blunt.

But she won't cause trouble.

Come in.

Hi, Su Wen.

Welcome.

You're here.

Step outside. Let's have a word.

Now that you're getting married,

make sure you be a good husband.

Take good care of the family and treat your wife well.

Also,

your mother is not easy to deal with.

In the future,

you need to support your wife more.

You look gorgeous.

Congratulations.

Take it.

My goodness.

Ouch!

What's wrong with your feet?

The two sides are scrapped.

What do you know?

These aren't just high heels.

They're battle boots, get it?

You need to put these on

to show who's the boss.

Save the talk.

You just attended your ex-boyfriend's wedding.

As if you really went to war.

Anyway,

why didn't I see Xu Youning

at the wedding?

Isn't he close buddies with Yan?

He has a business appointment.

He informed Yan about it.

Your train is tonight?

Me? It's at 9:10 PM.

Can't you stay one night?

I have work to do. Maybe next time.

I discovered a nice place,

with good food and entertainment.

Let me take you there.

It's my treat today.

How generous of you.

Of course.

My husband just submitted his salary.

Ruan Zhenzhen.

I'm not trying to be a busybody.

What era are we in?

Why are you still using cash? Isn't it inconvenient?

Only the mild-mannered Xu Youning

wouldn't mind it.

It's a sense of security. Get it?

A sense of security

doesn't come from others.

Get it?

Are you really

going to be a housewife forever?

You've totally given up on having a career?

Youning is happy to look after me.

Why should I go out

and let the boss dictate my day?

Not going out

to work for a boss

means you're at home

letting your husband dictate you.

[Lu Yang]

Lu Yang?

It's Youning's colleague.

Help me answer it.

Hello?

Okay, okay.

Zhenzhen, pull over.

What is it?

Pull over.

Hurry! Be quick!

Okay.

Two more men.

Coming.

The right side. Lift it.

When did you arrive at the scene?

Okay, move it.

This way.

I just got here.

Move it.

Quick, the jaws of life.

First bow.

[In memory of Mr. Xu Youning]

Second bow.

Third bow.

My condolences.

My condolences.

Mr. Fang.

This is Mr. Youning's father.

My condolences.

Thank you.

My condolences.

Thank you.

My condolences.

Thank you.

My condolences.

Thank you, Mr. Fang.

This way, Mr. Fang.

You take care, Mrs. Xu.

[Anqin Hall]

Is there anything else

the company has to take care of?

It's all been arranged.

The ashes will be buried

back in his hometown.

You stay here.

Inform me if there's anything else.

Yes, will do.

Yan.

How come

there's only a photo of him?

I heard

his face was badly maimed in the accident.

Is that so?

That bad, huh?

Let's go.

Attorney Gao Jun.

We haven't added each other on WeChat.

Let's go.

Come.

Come on.

Mrs. Xu.

It's almost 11.

They're here.

Are you Ruan Zhenzhen?

Who are you people? What do you want?

We're here for Ruan Zhenzhen.

Just say what you want. Don't point.

Show some manners.

You must be Ruan Zhenzhen.

We are Xu Youning's friends.

There's something we wish to tell you.

How about we talk somewhere else?

You can say what you want here.

That's fine.

Why are you complying?

Xu Youning borrowed money from us.

It's already due.

You better pay up.

We will not extend it further.

Borrowed money?

That's right. So pay up.

Xu Youning just passed away.

Don't you know?

We know.

We came here because we saw the news.

He may be dead,

but his wife is still here.

You have to pay.

Yes. Your husband...

What is your problem? We're already being patient.

You better not step out of line.

Our family just passed away

and you're here to ask for money?

Don't you have any courtesy?

Besides,

you're the ones claiming he owed money.

Where's the proof?

Of course we have proof.

Then show us.

Who are you?

Step aside.

Stop yapping and pay up!

You better watch it!

There are cameras here.

We'll call the police.

Scram!

You have to pay even if you call the cops.

Young man.

Paying what you owe is only right.

Is it fair to default just because he's dead?

What do you want?

You want to fight, huh?

Hit me then.

What is this?

Excuse me, sirs.

Did you come to get your money back

or to fight?

Of course we came for the money.

Then we should talk it out.

You have eyes.

We have a pregnant lady here.

If she got hurt in any way,

which one of you will take responsibility?

That's right. Go ahead and hit me!

Hit me right here!

Go on!

-Go on! -She's crazy.

Hit me!

Hello?

Hello. Is that Ruan Zhenzhen?

Are you home?

You have an express delivery.

Please come and get it.

Hello?

Are you Ruan Zhenzhen?

This is a court document for you.

Please sign the receipt.

[Ruan Zhenzhen]

By the way, do you know Xu Youning?

I noticed you two have the same address.

But I'm not sure

why no one is picking up the call.

Could you accept it for him?

What is it?

It's from the court. Do you know him too?

Looks like

they're being sued.

We need to hurry and make our move.

Or else they might be broke before we get our money back.

Yeah.

We need to apply for property preservation.

Let's go.

[Subpoena by the People's Court of Nanzhou City, Haidi District]

[Cause of Action: Disputes over private lending]

[Person to be summoned: Xu Youning]

[Person to be summoned: Ruan Zhenzhen]

I asked my lawyer friend.

This is going to be a tricky case.

Signatures, fingerprints,

copies of identification cards,

and bank transactions are all there.

The plaintiff's evidence is all there.

If we can prove that Zhenzhen's signature

and prints on the agreement

were fabricated

and that she was unaware

of Xu Youning's borrowing,

then this will not

be considered as a couple's shared debt.

She won't be held accountable.

That's...

Does Zhenzhen really not know

about Youning's money borrowing?

Does that mean she doesn't know

where he kept the money

he had borrowed either?

Zhenzhen.

Can you come out

and talk about this with us?

Can you

just throw that broken phone away?

Are you listening, Ruan Zhenzhen?

Sit down.

Ruan Zhenzhen.

Zhenzhen.

Give me the phone.

I'll get someone to fix it.

So what if it's fixed?

Xu Youning deleted everything

on the memory card.

What do you think you can find?

Okay, don't fret.

How can I not?

Look at her.

She's no different from a living dead.

Ruan Zhenzhen, say something.

What do you want to do?

Xu Youning used your identification card

to sign a loan agreement.

Now all the debt

is on you, do you get it?

This isn't

how a housewife should be.

Xu Youning built a shell

and you willingly made it home,

distanced yourself from reality,

refusing to take action after he lied to you.

He would never lie to me.

What is this then?

Tell me what all these are.

It's slander.

A set-up.

A conspiracy.

Fine, I give up.

I will not bother you anymore.

I'm going back to Guangzhou today.

Wen...

[Haidi Court] [Security checkpoint]

Zhenzhen.

I tried to call you.

There's free parking over there.

It's only about 10 minutes' walk.

[Place your ID here]

Identification verified.

Oh no, Zhenzhen.

I forgot to bring my identification card.

It's okay. You can go back.

You don't have to accompany me.

I can't do that.

I can't have you

go in by yourself.

It's fine. You can go.

[Identification verified.]

Excuse me, sir.

I forgot my identification card.

Can I tell you my identification number?

-You can check it... -No.

Come on, I'll let you know my identification number.

Sorry, mister.

We can't do that.

Please don't block the way.

Gang, it must be busy at the shop.

Go attend to it.

You don't have to come with me.

Then, call me

if there's anything.

[Identification verified.]

At the signing,

Xu Youning said

[Defendant] that his wife, Ruan Zhenzhen,

couldn't attend that day.

He brought an agreement

with Miss Ruan's signature,

together with her actual identification card

and copies of it.

So the plaintiff

had reason to believe

[People's Court of Nanzhou City, Haidi District] that the defendant, Ruan Zhenzhen,

[Civil Mediation Records] knew about the loan

and had agreed to it.

I didn't sign the agreement.

[Judge] [Loan Agreement]

The signature on it

wasn't made by me.

After the plaintiff

signed the agreement

with Xu Youning,

he divided the amount

into portions as per the agreement

[Attorney] and remitted them into

several bank accounts Xu Youning had provided.

One of them is an account

under Ruan Zhenzhen's name.

[Jinshang Holdings Group]

has entrusted us

as a third-party agency

to conduct a financial inspection

on their subsidiary, Jinshang Capital.

...to strengthen financial supervision.

Su Wen, this is a great opportunity.

Mr. Xu.

Go back

and prepare well for it.

[HLZH Consulting]

Why are they

suddenly checking up on Jinshang Capital?

There must be something wrong since they asked for an inspection.

Is there anything

-I should focus on then? -Mr. Xu.

They didn't mention it.

Just treat it as a normal financial inspection.

Is there a problem?

No.

[People's Court of Nanzhou City, Haidi District]

Ruan Zhenzhen!

Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang.

Ruan.

Must you make things difficult?

Do you really think you can avoid paying?

If you must be stubborn,

then we won't hold back either.

We'll destroy you.

Calm down, Mr. Zhang.

Let's not cause a scene here.

Am I not calm enough?

Mr. Zhang.

I still have a lot

to go through with you.

Come on, let's talk inside.

Hello?

How is the situation?

Not too bad.

Not too bad, you say?

I put aside my pride

and pleaded with everyone who'd listen.

I finally managed to persuade Yan

to find you a lawyer.

Why didn't you contact them?

No lawyers can help with this lawsuit.

Helpful or not, you need to try it first.

Don't worry about the fees.

I'll handle it.

Are you listening?

Yeah, I am.

I'll send you the contact again.

Make sure you call them right away.

They're waiting for you.

Watch your attitude.

[Su Wen: Gao Jun, 15259433818]

I've got it.

I'll call him right away.

Hello.

Is this Ruan Zhenzhen?

Yes.

Su Wen asked me to contact you.

Hi. You must be Mr. Gao.

I was about to call you.

But it was a bad time

because I was on the subway.

I see.

I won't keep you.

I'll call you again

when I need your help.

Su Wen has told me briefly

about what happened.

It's not convenient

to talk about certain things on the phone.

It's best to meet up and chat.

Which subway station are you getting off?

I'm outside.

I can pick you up.

I don't want to bother you.

It's not a bother.

Where are you at?

I'll go to you then.

Okay.

I'm at the Haidi Court.

You can come here.

Did you get that?

Sorry.

The connection dropped.

Please wait for me

at the court.

I will probably get there

in 15 minutes.

Okay.

[Guanren Station]

Ruan Zhenzhen.

Mr. Gao.

Get in. This is a no-parking zone.

Seat belt.

I'm in Nanzhou for work.

My schedule is packed.

I don't have much time to spare.

Is it okay to go somewhere

to discuss this while we eat?

No problem.

You attended

a court mediation in the morning, right?

I'll be frank.

I'm not planning to hire a lawyer.

Why not?

I don't have money.

That is indeed problematic.

But even if you have money,

I prefer

not to take on a friend's case.

But it's hard to say no

when they're asking so earnestly.

Just like you.

You clearly didn't want to meet me,

but because of your friend's insistence,

you made yourself

go through with it, am I right?

It's a society based on favors.

No one

can truly live a carefree

and indifferent life.

[The House Restaurant]

A simple lunch. Is that okay?

You graduated from Heng'an No. 1 High School too?

Which year?

Two years before you.

That's why you're not familiar to me.

So,

which law firm

are you working with?

What kind of lawsuits do you normally take on?

Beiling Metropark Law Firm.

Normally, I handle cases

on financial securities and disputes.

Recently,

I've taken on a case in Nanzhou.

Well?

Good enough for you?

Should I show you

my lawyer's license?

Xu Youning and I were classmates.

We were pretty close

back in high school.

You don't have

to doubt my motives.

Besides, to be honest with you,

you're locked in a troublesome lawsuit

and are basically broke.

There's nothing worth taking from you.

Also,

although the evidence

against Xu Youning is irrefutable,

you won't necessarily lose

such lawsuits.

I only have one hour.

Can you make it count?

Good afternoon.

We have a special

Valentine's Day set today.

It's a good deal.

Would you like to order it?

No, thanks.

We'll have two Set As.

Give me a bowl of porridge first.

Sure thing.

Where's the dossier? Let me take a look.

[Party B: Xu Youning Party B's spouse: Ruan Zhenzhen]

He had been using your bank card

to do the transactions.

Yes.

How come?

Why did Xu Youning use your bank card

to carry out transactions?

Youning was the one

who kept the bank card.

I'm not sure.

I haven't worked

for some years.

Go on.

I didn't work

for several years.

The household income

came solely from Youning's salary

and the financial gain

he made from investments.

The reason for getting those loans...

Hello?

Yes, speaking.

I'll send it to you

once I get back to the hotel.

Continue.

The reason he got the loans

was for investing.

I don't have a way to prove

that I was unaware of it.

Neither can I prove

that the money

hadn't been used in our daily married life.

Hello.

Okay, got it.

My digestion is not that good lately.

Married life

is not limited

to a husband and wife's daily lives, right?

That's right.

His investment earnings

are also yours.

All that money.

Did you really

not know anything about it?

Almost everyone

asked me that question.

I didn't know.

I don't know anything

about the money.

Pardon me.

I'm not doubting you.

Then, did Xu Youning

leave behind

any useful clues?

For instance,

text messages.

Or chat history in WeChat?

Something related to borrowing money.

None?

His phone got broken

in the accident.

Did you try restoring the memory card?

His SIM card

should still be in there, right?

You didn't find anything useful from it either?

Nothing.

No records to speak of.

That's not normal.

Then, aside from the tens of millions of debt,

do you think

there's anything else

Xu Youning

hid from you?

For instance,

an immoral...

or illicit relationship?

Mr. Gao.

I'm sitting here

to discuss the lawsuit with you.

Not to listen to you

slandering my husband.

Is it really slander?

Hello?

Yes, this is Mr. Xu's phone.

I'm his wife.

Chopard?

Okay.

May I know

where your shop is?

Ms. Wen, the document you wanted.

Ms. Wen.

What kind of supplement

are you taking?

Can you introduce it to me?

I'd like to learn how to stay healthy from you.

You don't need it since you're young.

Ms. Wen.

When Wang leaves,

the chief auditor position

will become vacant.

I saw Wu Songrong

frequenting the directors' offices lately.

He's really putting in the effort.

I bet he's up to something.

Less gossiping, more working.

Get prepared.

You're going on a business trip with me.

Okay. Where are we going?

How is it? Did you get in touch?

Where did you find

that piece of trash?
