=Episode 9= (The Imperfect Best Friend)

(Hotel Wednesday)

She looks so sick.

You sure we don't need to bring her to a hospital?

She's fine. She ate too much.

She has always been like this.

You didn't eat anything just now.

Let me buy something for you.

No need. I'm not hungry.

Just go back, Daqian. It's late now.

I'll look after her.

I'll stay to keep you company.

If something happens, at least you'll have help.

Daqian, sorry.

I lent all my money

to Dahua.

It's okay.

You have always been a supportive friend.

Whenever your friend has a problem, you lend a hand.

I'll find a solution for the shop.

(Baihe Station)

(Baihe Station, Entrance)

No need to see me off.

It's cold out here.

I can hail a cab to the train station.

Cover yourself properly if it's cold then.

Once you return,

find a proper job.

All right?

Yes.

I'll pay you back as soon as possible.

No worries. No rush.

Daqian, thank you for last night.

No need.

I'll treat you to a meal when you come next time.

Sure.

I'll go now then.

Bye.

Have a safe trip.

Sorry

for last night.

You're too polite. Your problem is my problem.

What do you want to do later?

Work in the library.

Dad, where are you going?

My friends started a game

and they want me to be there.

Gambling again?

It won't take too long.

Dad, I don't think

I can buy the house at the moment.

I don't have enough money.

Great.

I checked that spot. It's no good.

Never do a losing business.

You hope that I would never

buy that house, don't you?

It's not that.

You don't have enough money.

That's the reality.

Besides, your mom is also very stingy.

Don't bite

more than you can chew.

I'm doing this for everyone.

I'm running late.

Bye.

You have a mean streak.

No wonder your romance failed.

(Daqian?)

Guan Zhe, it's me.

I need to have a talk with you.

(I thought you wouldn't contact me)

(after you left.)

(I'm not feeling myself recently.)

(I was dying to get your news.)

(I wanted to contact you)

(but I didn't have the gut to.)

(I could hardly sleep at night these few months.)

You miss me so much that you can't sleep?

Me too.

Whenever I think about you, sleep eludes me.

(I didn't expect that you still love me.)

Don't get ahead of yourself.

You couldn't sleep because all the bad things you did haunt you.

(Daqian.)

(I did hurt you.)

(But I also hurt myself in the process.)

(After the breakup, I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat.)

(I'm suffering too.)

I'll claim

the moral damage from you in the future.

Remember the 60,000 yuan you owe me?

Give it back

within these two days.

(You're not Zheng Daqian.)

(You are using my ex-girlfriend's voice)

(to scam me.)

(I'll call the police now.)

If I'm not Zheng Daqian,

how did I know you maxed your card

to buy lottery tickets?

If I'm not Zheng Daqian,

how did I know

you tried your hardest to scam every single of your customers' money?

How did I know you cheated with Wang Anna

for more than six months?

Guan Zhe, call the police now, please.

Maybe they can make you pay me back.

Within these two days, you hear me?

Give back my money.

(Profits have reached 30,000 yuan) (Shop for rent)

What's this?

I'm not drinking it.

What if it's poisoned?

Tell me.

What are you trying to do?

Is it because of the breakup?

It has nothing to do with it.

I just want to earn some money.

Wait.

Zheng Daqian.

I overlooked an important detail.

You just broke up.

Your female hormone

is in imbalance.

When you have nothing to do, you become sentimental.

So you have to do something.

What is this nonsense?

You stay at home too much that you fancy yourself a screenwriter now?

I got it right.

Didn't I?

(Hey.)

(Daqian.)

(Where are you? I want to find you.)

Zheng Daqian.

Never go back to the same man.

Not to mention a toxic man.

I contacted him because...

Regardless of the reason, you shouldn't contact him.

He just has to sweet talk you and you're all smitten.

You are the typical

victim who enables

her captor.

You're crazy.

You...

You know what?

Why not consider Yan?

He already proposed anyway.

You really want to marry me off, don't you?

In a few months,

you'll have your 29th birthday.

Grow up.

♪There, there. Don't despair♪

♪The memories are real. Am I right?♪

♪We have accepted♪

♪That the moments of regret we've missed out on are gone♪

Don't contact Guan Zhe anymore.

Why are you

sneaking around?

I can't find the keys.

Why are you going through my mom's bag then?

To get some pocket money.

See you.

(What? It's over?)

(It's over?)

(Zheng.)

(Come, we need one more here.)

(Just two rounds. Come.)

(New players mean new luck!)

(Two rounds.)

(Come.)

(Come.)

(Two rounds, all right?)

(Okay.)

(Xinxin Mahjong Parlor)

Dahua.

Daqian.

You didn't leave?

I did.

I couldn't catch the train

so I stay for another few days.

Why are you here then?

Just some quick games

to pass time.

Does Mi Lan know you're here?

She doesn't.

I'm just staying for a few days.

No need to bother her.

You know what? Let's eat together tonight.

I'll call her.

Don't.

I have plans with friends. I have to go now.

See you.

Dahua, stay safe.

See you next time!

Mr. Zheng, you're back.

What's the good news?

Mi Lan.

Don't you think something's wrong with my dad?

No. He seems cheery.

I will follow him tonight.

I think he's up to something.

What?

During the day when no one was home,

I saw him going through my mom's bag

and he took her credit card.

Maybe he

wanted to buy something.

Nothing good will come of it if he's doing it behind my mom's back.

I also ran into Dahua in the mahjong house.

Didn't she leave already?

She said she missed the train.

I invited her to eat together tonight

but she turned me down

and ran away.

I should pay her a visit

to find out what's going on.

Password?

8888.

My birthday?

(Korean Ginseng Liquid)

You're back.

I want to have supper.

Do you want to join me?

I'm not hungry.

Where are you?

(Victoria Grand Hotel.)

I saw the buyer.

Come now. I can transfer you the money.

Wang Dahua, you...

Mi Lan.

Let's go to school together.

I'm busy today so I took a day off.

I have to go now.

(Hedong Police Station)

(Hedong Police Station) What's taking Dazhi this long?

Honestly,

instead of confronting Uncle Yingjun,

you informed the police right away. It's not right.

He is Zheng Yingjun.

He lies all the time.

Daqian.

- Dazhi. - Daqian.

Is this

what Mr. Zheng will be selling?

(Korean Ginseng Liquid)

Yes.

I'll show you my father's WeChat history.

- I took a photo of everything. - Let me see.

Look.

(Upon signature, get one box of products immediately. The sales in Harbin and Tieyuan look promising.)

Oh, no.

He was scammed.

Products like this have been confiscated a lot in northeastern China.

They are illegal products.

Those criminals

are recruiting people

to sell them

and we are planning to bust their operation.

Hurry up then.

My dad agreed

to sign the contract with them in Victoria Hotel today.

They are scamming someone I know.

Lawless people like them, I tell you...

Give it to me.

I will arrest them.

(Korean Ginseng Liquid)

Manager Hua.

If you don't mind me asking,

how old are you?

I'm almost 30.

Why?

Nothing.

You

look young. That's all.

Just my curiosity.

(Fortune)

(Fortune)

(Fortune) Why didn't you show yourself

(Fortune)

(Fortune) yesterday when we met?

I had to be careful.

What if you're a scammer?

It's good to be cautious.

(Zheng Yingjun)

This is legal and lucrative, right?

It's legal.

But lucrative...

That depends.

When you just start out,

you'll have difficulties.

But

I'm sure you can handle them

with ease.

Thank you for your compliment.

I

am Zheng Yingjun, second to none in Baihe.

I'm a fixer.

Mister,

do you know what the agents

we recruited are doing now?

What?

They drive a sports car

and live in a mansion.

And they change it every day.

Wait, I'm not supposed to tell you that.

Either way,

Baihe is yours now.

(Zheng Yingjun)

Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng.

Mi Lan, why are you here?

I'm signing a contract.

Yes.

But you can't sign this first.

Why?

Mister.

This is my colleague from Ningzhou Headquarters, Mi Lan.

Colleague?

You two are close then.

That reassures me.

Mr. Zheng.

(Zheng Yingjun)

Come here.

What are you doing?

We'll have the money soon.

Do you know who he is?

Who cares?

He's Zheng Daqian's father.

You can't take his money.

Zheng Daqian's father?

Wang Dahua,

wake up already.

If this carries on, you'll screw yourself

and me up.

Mister.

Something's wrong with the recruitment.

I don't think

we can sign the contract.

It can't be.

I signed and pressed my thumbprint too.

I brought the cash too.

Mr. Zheng, we can't take the money.

Paying you is the same thing, right?

Zheng Yingjun!

(Korean Ginseng Liquid)

Should I hail a cab for you?

Mr. Zheng.

If the police didn't come here in time,

you would have lost

30,000 yuan.

Thanks, Mr. Officer.

This is the evidence.

(Korean Ginseng Liquid)

It's

an illegal product.

Its company has no paper

and has no right to sell it.

It's all Huoxiang herbal drink in there.

She

is a scammer.

Dazhi.

You must be mistaken.

Manager Hua

is Mi Lan's colleague.

Mi Lan is my daughter's best friend.

Stop defending the scammers.

You lied to me yesterday.

You didn't miss the train.

And you already knew, didn't you?

You two worked together to trick my father.

Is that true?

Daqian.

I didn't want to lie to you

or Uncle Yingjun.

I'm serious.

I did all the lying.

Mi Lan has nothing to do with it.

I thought you

were a supportive friend.

Now, I see the truth.

You're a master deceiver.

- Hear me out. - Mi Lan.

You can't leave.

You have to come with me.

(Police)

I did not lure him.

I posted a thread online

and he contacted me.

We have the evidence.

We caught you red-handed. Do you get it?

Do you know where you are now?

If you do not take this seriously,

neither you nor Mi Lan can leave.

I did everything. Mi Lan has nothing to do with it.

Sit back down. Don't stand up.

Sir, I'm sorry.

We didn't work together.

She came to stop me.

I did not know

the man is her friend's father.

I'm sorry.

This has nothing

to do with Mi Lan.

What happened?

Last night...

What are you doing?

Why didn't you leave?

I have some business.

What business?

I...

(Korean Ginseng Liquid)

I...

Where did you get this batch from this time?

(Korean Ginseng Liquid)

Listen.

I contacted someone online.

He's in Baihe

and he's looking for a job.

I told him about the Ginseng Elixir

and he's very interested.

So you lied to him to recruit him?

It's just Huoxiang herbal drinks.

They are harmless.

Also,

I just want to pay you back as soon as possible.

That doesn't give you the right to scam others!

You're out of the system.

You came back.

You have friends.

You hide everything

so that they don't know what you did.

You're a liar too.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

As long as I'm in Baihe,

you will not scam anyone here.

So you can get a fresh start

and I can't?

Lanzi.

Wang Dahua said

you knew

she would sign a contract

with Uncle Yingjun in Victoria

so you came to stop her.

Is that true?

Dazhi.

When can I have the money back?

Wait.

Lanzi, tell us

what happened.

Exactly.

What is going on?

The sooner you tell us everything,

the sooner I can get my money back.

It's complicated.

They were in another similar case.

When?

2015.

Ningzhou.

Dazhi.

What's going on?

Mr. Mi.

You're finally here.

You're a teacher.

I know you're busy

but you shouldn't

neglect your own daughter.

Fortunately, she tried to scam me.

If it was someone else,

it would be bad.

She would

be sued.

Zheng.

Her mother passed away early

and she has always been a rebellious girl.

I didn't raise her properly.

It's my fault.

I...

We don't know the full picture yet.

It cannot be any more obvious.

Have you asked your daughter what happened?

Mr. Mi.

Can we have a moment?

- I... - Please.

Lanzi.

What happened?

From what we know so far,

Mi Lan is aware of

what Wang Dahua was doing.

And back in Ningzhou,

they were involved in a similar case

and were arrested too.

She has a criminal record?

It's not that serious.

It was just an administrative punishment.

It's the same today.

Mi Lan did not commit a crime.

You just have to fill in some papers

and you can leave with her.

I'll go back in.

(Hedong Police Station)

Lanzi, don't take it to heart.

It's nothing serious.

Mi, what are you doing?

Let's talk it out.

You bring dishonor to your mom.

Mi.

Lanzi, your dad is just upset.

Mi.

Lanzi, don't make a hasty decision.

We can have a conversation about it.

Okay?

No thanks, Lizi.

Sorry for the trouble.

This is...

Zheng Daqian.

Zheng Daqian.

Daqian.

I owe you an explanation.

Dahua and I

didn't work together to scam Uncle Yingjun.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Lanzi.

It's late at night. Why are you drinking coffee?

You don't want to sleep?

None of your business.

Look.

You should have heard Mi Lan out.

You shouldn't have ignored her just like that.

It won't solve anything.

What are you doing?

Daqian is just trying to be your sketch model here.

You guys fought?

We? Impossible.

It's because of Mi Lan.

Mi Lan?

What happened to her?

She left.

She left?

Where did she go? And why?

What happened?

Hi, I'd like a ticket to Tieyuan.

The last train has left. Please come again tomorrow.

Let's go, Xiaoyu.

Sure.

We're closing. You should leave too.

All right.

Miss, you're heading to Tieyuan?

I can give you a lift.

On meter.

No, thanks.

E-hailing won't work.

It's too late.

Don't worry. I always find customers here.

I'm not a liar.

If you're not in a rush,

then you wait until tomorrow morning.

There's no more taxi tonight.

If you're in a rush,

we can leave at 2 a.m. OK?

Is this a metered taxi?

Yes.

I'm serious. Come.

Let's go.

Mi Lan.

Mi Lan.

Hi, the number you have dialed is unavailable.

I heard from Dazhi that something bad happened to Mi Lan?

Where is she?

She left.

Where to?

No idea.

You have no idea either, Daqian?

No idea.

Where can she be this late at night?

Call your brother.

He's looking for her. You can ask him.

He just left.

Call him. Don't waste time.

Hello?

Zixi, have you found Mi Lan?

She took an illegal cab.

I'm hailing a taxi to chase after her.

An illegal cab?

Why did she take one?

Zixi, why did Mi Lan hail an illegal cab?

Wait for us.

We're driving there now.

Okay.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

It's too dangerous for a girl

to take an illegal cab now.

Miss, you're traveling to Baihe?

It's late now.

Going to Tieyuan alone

is dangerous.

What are you doing there?

Mister, how far are we from Tieyuan?

Another two-hour drive.

I can't reach her either. Her phone has been switched off.

Don't tell me something bad happened.

Mu Zili, drive faster.

I'm driving as fast as I can.

We can just call the police

and ask Dazhi to help us.

Okay. I'll make the call.

That's the cab.

Is she in the cab?

I couldn't see clearly.

- Mu Zili. Turn back. - Okay.

(It's a visual effect, don't imitate the dangerous play.)

What the heck?

Do you know how to drive?

It's dangerous.

Where is she?

Where is she?

Zixi. Zixi.

What? Let go of me.

- Let go of me. - Let him go.

Let go!

Calm down.

Where is the passenger?

Mister.

You're lying.

Miss, watch your mouth.

I didn't lie to anyone.

Something's wrong with your meter.

This place is around

30km away from Baihe.

Your meter is going crazy.

It's working. This is the price.

No way.

This is more expensive than a cab.

I said it would be metered

but I didn't say it would be cheaper than a cab.

- You... - Also,

you should be grateful

that I offered you my service this late at night.

Stop the car.

Why?

Get off the car then.

You're in the middle of nowhere here.

You won't find a taxi driver.

Stop the car!

(Bus No.12, Lishutun)

Where do you think you can go?

Running away

to another universe won't solve the problem.

♪Tears, laughters, weariness♪

♪Time crept past us just like that♪

♪Departure, drunkenness, regrets♪

♪Time never freezes for anyone♪

It'll snow for a while.

Driving back is dangerous.

Right. I can't see the road clearly either.

What should we do then?

Are we going to be stuck here?

Stuck here it is.

This car has a heater. We won't freeze to death.

We came in a hurry

and I forgot to fill the tank.

Guys.

Let me switch off the heater.

Please bear with me.

You can have them.

Put them on.

Daqian.

Put on mine.

Look at Yan.

Trustworthy and reliable.

Right.

Right.

How long can we stay on the road?

I estimate

that we can't go home.

But

Tiexi is around 3 km from here.

My grandmother lives there.

If possible,

we can stay with her tonight

and go back tomorrow once we fill the tank.

3 km

is plausible.

Mi Lan.

We're five here.

Will it be all right?

It should be fine.

I also haven't seen her in a long while.

All the more reasons

to visit her.

Besides, everyone is starving.

I'm going to die from starvation.

I would kill for a hot meal.

I would kill for a petrol station.

Grandma.

There's no food here.

Do you know what time it is?

It's snowy.

Instead of staying at home,

you loiter around.

And before you went out, you didn't check the weather forecast.

It's so late

and I have to stay up.

You are all good for nothing.

Why are you smiling?

All right.

Sleep now.

Leave tomorrow morning.

Lanzi.

Your grandmother

is like this?

Sorry.

She was the village chief

and she used to yell at people.

She was a leader, I see.

Whatever. I'm tired.

Goodnight.

Wait.

Where do we sleep?

The men sleep on the left

and the women sleep on the right.

The kid sleeps in the middle.

Who's the kid?

You.

Say that again?

Who is the kid?

You're so impolite.

What are you doing, Zili?

Let go.

- Come. Let's make the bed. - Respect your brother.

Mu Zixi.

Ouch.

- Stop bullying him. - You keep bullying me.

Stop it.

You will learn today

who's the boss of the Mu family.
