[Unexpected Falling]

[Episode 21]

Don't mention Ruan Zhenzhen to Liu.

When did I ever tell him about Ruan Zhenzhen?

Just a kind reminder.

Liu isn't an outsider.

Just don't tell him.

But I don't know how to use it.

Su Wen seems

to have a close relationship with Ruan Zhenzhen.

So I asked around.

She is a strong career woman.

You could say she's Xu Weidong's capable assistant.

She also has a say

in the inspection team.

If she has any ill intentions,

it'll be impossible for us to guard against her.

Mr. Qiu,

we can't just think about putting up our guard.

If this continues,

we'll end up resigning ourselves to the situation.

We must be proactive in our actions.

Do you mean

we should look into Su Wen

and see what she has on us?

I meant

the best defense

is a good offense.

Do you agree?

Since we're worried she'll find out anything,

we shouldn't give her

the chance to carry on with the inspection anymore.

Su Wen, it's such a huge workload.

Can you handle it all?

Yes, I can.

Thank you for your concern, Mr. Songrong.

It's something I took for my friend,

which has nothing to do with work.

I thought it was new information for the inspection.

Ms. Wen, here's your coffee without sugar.

Mr. Wu.

Thank you.

Which one do you want?

I brought two cups.

It's okay.

I can drink tea.

I'll go and add more water.

I'll enjoy this myself, then.

Okay.

Don't you know

it's perfectly justified to pay your debts?

I really don't have money.

I don't have any.

Pay up!

Your suits look pretty decent.

Where's the money?

- Are you messing with me? - Guys, I really don't have money.

If you don't pay today, I'll kill you!

Can you give me two more days?

Two days.

How many days did I postpone it for you?

How many days?

How many days, huh?

Gang, why aren't you beating him up?

Beat him!

Beat him!

Do it!

Hit him!

Beat him up!

Run, Piku!

Go! Go!

Beat him!

The soup is ready.

[Dear]

(The number you've dialed)

(is not answered.)

Is he still not answering your call?

[Dear]

(The number you've dialed)

(is not answered.)

What's wrong with You Gang?

He caused such a big problem.

Instead of mending his ways and starting over,

he doesn't even show up.

How are you going to live with him like this?

Does he still want this family?

Just divorce him.

You won't be able to live a decent life with him.

Let's eat.

I'll get you some rice.

[Dear]

[Dear]

[Haozailai Seafood and Fujian Cuisine]

Zhenzhen.

I thought you'd send the stuff to the restaurant.

What did you recall?

You're asking for the bank statement out of a sudden.

Su Wen asked for it.

I'm sorry for troubling you to send it over.

Not at all.

Let's talk inside.

We can just talk out here.

I need to ask you something.

I don't think we should talk out here.

The police said the key pouch was found in Lu Yang's car?

What else did the police ask you?

They didn't really ask much.

They asked

why I suddenly want to look for the key pouch.

I told them my house was broken into.

But don't worry.

I didn't mention your name.

Have they caught the culprit who attacked Lu Yang?

I did ask.

But the police refused to tell me anything

because it's still under investigation.

By the way,

when are you going back to Beiling?

Su Wen wants to buy you a meal.

I won't be going back for now.

I've decided

to stay and help you.

You don't have to.

It's getting late.

You should go back.

When you come back next time, bring Yan and Su Wen with you.

Let's have a meal together.

I won't see you out.

I just want to help you.

But I can't accept your help.

How so?

Because I can't repay the same favor to you.

I don't need you to repay me.

No one will give without expecting something in return.

They may not say it. But their hearts want it.

They may not want it now. But they'll want it in the future.

You were right yesterday.

If this goes on,

it won't be good

for any of us.

Let's end it here.

Yesterday, I said I wanted to leave

because

I didn't know how to face you.

Because that night,

in any case,

I went too far.

I was indeed being disrespectful to you.

Am I right?

I'll think about it.

Okay.

It's a deal, then.

Call me if there's anything.

All you do is bark.

Stop barking!

You're not a wolf.

Do you think you can turn into one?

Stop barking already!

Why do I feel we're about to break the law?

Wang Dali's car is nowhere to be found.

Xia Xinliang's too.

See that?

They have a dog in there.

We can't handle it.

We need to find a way to lure Wang Dali out.

It won't be easy

for us to lure him out here.

If you want to trick Wan Dali to come out here,

you need some kind of bait.

Don't ask me for any ideas.

Don't even ask me.

I can't be the bait.

Wait...

Can you stop barking?

Do you want some beatings?

What's this?

[Nanzhou Xinliang Food Processing Manufacturer]

Who's there?

Open the gate!

What's up?

Hello, we collect data for the global positioning system.

We were doing a night mapping when my drone ran out of power.

Judging by the map, I think it fell in your compound.

Can you help us find it?

Find what?

Drone.

It's about this size.

There are four propellers on it.

I didn't see any.

Mister, my device has a positioning system and a password.

Without its remote control, it's just a piece of scrap.

It'll be useless.

Besides, it belongs to the state.

If I can't find it, I can only report this to the police.

I understand

it's not easy to work at this hour.

Here's some money. Help me find it.

Wait here. I'll help you find it.

Thank you, mate.

Thanks.

Is this the one?

Ah, yes. This is the one.

Mate, don't try to squeeze it through.

This drone is expensive.

You'll damage it.

Can you open the gate?

Thank you so much.

Don't move!

Hey, mate. Don't hit me.

No, please.

Mister.

No, stop.

Mister.

I took care of him.

Mister, we can talk this out.

I'll tell you everything I know.

Do you know Xia Xinliang?

Yes.

Where is he?

I don't know.

I... Wait.

Mister.

I really don't know, mister.

I don't know, mister.

I really don't know.

I don't know where he is.

How does he keep in touch with you?

He doesn't contact me.

If he doesn't contact you, how do you contact him if anything happens?

I can't find him now.

A while back, a woman came looking for him.

I gave him a call.

But he scolded me.

Since then, I couldn't get a hold of him anymore.

Since you can't find him anymore, why are you still working here?

He pays me a salary.

I don't have to pay utilities while staying here.

What else did he do with your ID?

Apart from using your ID card to buy a car

and register for a mobile number, did he use it for anything else?

I... I don't know.

I... I have two ID cards.

One is with me.

The other one is with him.

I really don't know what he did with my ID card.

Did Liu leave just like that?

He was busy, so he left in a hurry.

Liu sure is a loyal friend.

He came here purely to help us out.

We didn't have time to have a drink with him.

There are always opportunities to meet up next time.

What are you looking at?

Look at that pagoda.

It looks beautiful.

It sure does.

What do you think Xia Xinliang is hiding?

Why is he so well hidden?

I don't know.

It's certainly

not as simple as borrowing Xu Youning's account.

Let's have some mutton.

Sure.

Ruan,

please take a seat.

Here, sit down.

Thank you.

The money

should have been transferred.

But the company is undergoing an audit at this moment.

So we can't make any transactions.

That's why it has been delayed until now.

I just found out about this matter.

In any case, we didn't do a good job on our part.

No matter what,

we shouldn't have delayed the transaction.

After you go back, talk to Youning's parents

to find a time to come over to complete the paperwork.

We'll transfer the money as soon as possible.

Thank you, Mr. Fang.

It's been a while since Youning passed away.

When someone passes,

we must let it go and move on.

We mustn't think in extremes.

Right?

Ruan,

there's one thing

I want to tell you.

When it comes to Youning's belongings,

we must take good care of them.

We can't show them to others casually.

It's been a while since you worked, right?

You may not be aware of the reality in society now.

Some people can sell out

their family and friends for their own benefit.

Maybe you treat her

as a good friend from the bottom of your heart.

But she sees you as a stepping stone.

She even tried to dig into your past.

Mr. Fang,

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Please be more straightforward.

I'll be frank, then.

The inspection team

has been investigating Youning's matter.

At first,

we should separate work and private matters.

They're not related in any way.

Don't you agree?

You can't mix these two matters.

I'm worried that some people might use their connections

to spread rumors for their gain.

Ruan,

this matter doesn't affect the company that much.

I'm just afraid

that Youning will be blamed

and it may even affect you.

Come in.

Mr. Fang, those from Anhe Travel are here.

Okay.

Mr. Fang, you should get to work, then.

I'll take my leave, then.

Ruan,

let us know if you need help.

We'll definitely lend you a hand.

Qiu, please help me see her out.

Yes, sir.

Hi, Mrs. Xu.

Zhenzhen.

Yan.

Mrs. Xu, it's been a long time.

Mr. Mao.

Yan.

You must be Miss Shen.

Yes.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Mr. Mao, this way, please.

Okay, let's go.

[Yu's Chongqing Noodles]

Come on, why did you pick such a remote restaurant?

I almost got lost.

Do you have the bank statement?

Hello, please enjoy.

Thank you.

I haven't gotten it.

Didn't Gao Jun tell you to get it from him at the hotel?

Didn't you go?

He was busy last night.

So I couldn't get it.

I'll get it from him some other day.

Then why did you come here today?

Did you come to ask me out for lunch?

Jinshang wanted to see me

and talk about Xu Youning's death compensation.

So I drop by to visit you since I'm here.

Am I delaying your work by asking you out now?

It's okay.

No matter how busy I am, I still need to eat.

What do you want to eat?

They say their noodles are good.

Okay, we'll have noodles.

How did you know about this place?

The first few years Xu Youning started working,

I always came to have lunch with him.

We've dined at all the restaurants around here.

One day, I just found this place.

I didn't expect it to be still running

after so many years.

What are you doing?

I've taught you so many times.

Why are you still clueless?

See this?

Just scan this code.

It'll appear here.

After that, you can order from here.

After you finish ordering, you can pay right away.

You don't have to call the waitress at all.

You're so silly.

That can't be helped.

Xu Youning had controlled you so strictly.

You see, he'd be happy to confine you inside the house.

I've told you before.

But you got upset.

The more I said it, the more it felt like I was trying

to ruin your marriage.

If he did treat you well, he shouldn't have kept you at home

like a pet just to make himself happy.

I'll stop talking.

He's already dead.

There's no point talking about it anymore.

What do you want to drink?

Soup noodles.

I don't want any drinks. You can order yours.

The noodles are really good.

I remember you said you printed out

Xu Youning's mobile phone call history.

Remember to make a copy for me.

Su Wen.

Did the inspection team find out what happened with Xu Youning?

Other than front running,

what other crimes did he commit?

Insider trading?

Tunneling?

Zhenzhen,

I have... Work ethics, right?

Because of your work ethics,

you can't tell me what you've found.

But

you can obtain

case files, the notebook,

and bank statement from me.

You take all the information from me

for your inspection.

Is that so?

Ruan Zhenzhen,

do you know what you're saying?

Who's instigating you?

Have you become a fool after being kept at home by Xu Youning?

Don't you use your brain?

Are you going to believe whatever people tell you?

Zhenzhen.

You've never joined the workforce.

You don't know how treacherous and complicated it is.

No one will gossip with you for no reason.

Anything they say casually has a purpose.

I know I've never joined the workforce.

I'm nothing but a housewife with no future.

I'm just a pet Xu Youning kept at home.

I stay home until my brain has become dull.

I'm not smart, and I'm hopeless.

I'm just useless.

Isn't this what you're trying to say?
