(From Ding Li, To Wu Yue)

(Mr. Wu, the operation went very well. 'll keep my promise.)

Wu Yue.

You jerk!

Xiao Man.

Call the police.

Go find Ding Li

and Shan Hu first.

(Su Xiao Man)

Are you up to some

funny business again?

Don't make a false accusation, okay?

I've been under your watch all day.

What could I possibly do?

Then why is Xiao Man looking

especially upset?

The only person who can make Xiao Man upset

is probably Wu Yue.

Let's not get involved in

the affairs of the young ones,

all right?

Fine.

Tian Tian.

Tian Tian?

Tian Tian.

Tian Tian!

Tian Tian!

Surprise!

Xiao Quan?

Why are you back?

I wanted to give you a surprise.

Why?

Not happy to see me?

I'm happy.

Of course I'm happy.

It's a great day today.

Brother Qian Qiu and Brother Xiao Quan

came to play with me today.

Tian Tian.

It's late, time for bed.

Come on.

I don't want to sleep.

I'm still not sleepy.

Think you're all grown up now, don't you?

Being disobedient now,

huh?

Are you sleepy?

Be good. Go to sleep.

Be good, Tian Tian.

I never expected that

they would do something like this.

I also thought that

everything

that happened had ended.

Do you know who did it?

Ding Li is definitely

involved in this.

But I suspect

Ren Qian Qiu is involved too.

Tian Tian seems to be

on good terms with him.

They might have already

met multiple times on their own.

How come you never knew

about this?

I admit that I was negligent.

I just don't get it.

Why would they do this?

What good will it do?

I let him take a look

at the smart card.

You mean...

They want to take revenge on you?

To avoid trouble in the future?

Who knows.

In any case, I currently

don't have

any evidence to prove this.

He also hasn't done anything to Tian Tian.

Maybe

it's really just a coincidence.

Listen.

Your priority now is to move out.

Move out?

Yes.

Su Xiao Man and the rest

will definitely call the police.

Once the police are involved,

it'll be more problematic.

If Ren Qian Qiu

is really out to get you,

he must have got false evidence ready.

Before you can even find

the evidence to clear your name,

you'll be put into jail already.

Will she...

really call the police?

Of course!

This is such a serious matter.

How can she not call the police?

You also have to do this for Tian Tian.

Everything is gone.

So what are you here for?

You want me to sign the contract

and buy that crap?

Mr. Ding.

We're all businessmen.

We'll cut to the chase.

All we want to ask is:

did you do it?

Me?

What good will it do for me?

There's a perfectly good opportunity for cooperation.

Why would I use underhanded means?

Then about Wu Yue's email,

how would you explain that?

You're right.

I only wanted to invest in Wu Yue.

I don't want him to bring the rest of you along

to do a playhouse game.

What playhouse game?

Do you know how much

effort we've

put into this app?

And you still say it's not a playhouse game.

Business is business.

Mr. Lin.

When you pretended to be Wu Yue's driver,

why didn't you

have an air of an adult?

Did...

Liang Hong Da not teach you？

Did your father teach you

to steal the hard work of others, huh?

I am the victim.

I want to sue you all for

commercial fraud!

And you dare to come after me for this?

Stop fighting!

Stop this!

Xiao Man.

Let's...

call the police.

I know your concern.

But all the evidence

is now pointing at Wu Yue.

We can't do

any further investigations.

Furthermore,

we should give

everyone an explanation, right?

I really don't know.

Last night,

it was Brother Yue who asked me to

go back to rest first.

Then what about the password?

I just casually mentioned the password.

How would I know that

Zhang Jiang would change it?

Did Wu Yue

say anything to you?

Or...

Was there anything unusual?

If I had to come up with something,

when Wu Yue came back last night,

he looked a little flurried.

Then he said

that he wanted me to go back to rest.

As a matter of precaution,

we will need to check

your computer again.

What do you mean?

Don't overthink this.

We just want to check

whether there are any viruses.

Do as you please.

I want to quit anyway.

Shan Hu.

That's not what we meant.

Whatever you meant

has nothing to do with me.

The company's gone.

Let her be.

Xiao Man.

Should I send you home

or...?

Why did I not think of

giving Boss Ren

a call?

Boss Ren?

I'm Xiao Man.

I wanted to ask,

did you send Wu Yue

a trophy last night?

Yes, yes. Last night.

(Zhang Jiang, The Best Award)

Boss Ren sent this over just now.

So that means

Wu Yue didn't lie to us.

But Shan Hu said

it was Wu Yue

who made her leave last night.

She also said that when Wu Yue came to the company,

he seemed a little off.

Do you believe what Shan Hu said?

Then all we can do now

is to wait to hear from the police.

I'll go look for Wu Yue.

We're home, Tian Tian.

Brother Xiao Quan, come with me.

What's up?

I want to sleep here tonight.

This is the only room with an air conditioner.

How did you know that

only this room has an air conditioner?

Have you been secretly

coming over here these few days?

Because it's exactly the same

as it was last year.

Are you sure?

Think more carefully.

It won't change.

How so?

Because Brother Xiao Quan

doesn't have a girlfriend.

There's no one to help manage the house.

Me? No girlfriend?

Say that again.

Do I have a girlfriend?

Do I have a girlfriend?

Do I have a girlfriend?

Do I have a girlfriend?

No.

Still no?

Do I? Do I?

No.

Wu Yue.

Wu Yue.

Wu Yue are you there?

Who are you looking for?

Hello.

I'm looking for Wu Yue.

Is he in?

You're asking me?

I wanted to ask you too.

Last night,

there was so much noise all night.

So this morning,

I went to look for him.

He and his things, all gone!

I can't reach him by phone either.

What about his younger brother?

How would I know?

Young people these days

don't have a shred of integrity.

Xiao Man.

I know...

that some of the things when said by me

will really annoy people,

but I must still say it.

Wu Yue clearly has

something to do with this matter.

You should think this through too.

I'll drive you home first.

Don't worry.

I'll handle Tian Tian.

If...

the police come knocking,

just say that I escaped on my own.

Nonsense...

What nonsense are you saying?

I don't want to drag you into this.

Because I already

owe you too much.

When you say it that way,

are you treating me as your friend?

Furthermore,

I'm not covering up for you.

You are innocent.

I'm just standing on the side of justice.

Thanks.

Take action

without having other unnecessary thoughts.

This time you won't be

alone.

Don't forget.

I actually have some

knowledge of hacking.

I'm no worse than your Su Xiao Man.

In short,

we'll start from Ding Li first.

Okay.

We understand, but...

Okay. Regardless,

thank you.

What did they say?

It's the same as before.

The police said that

the evidence is insufficient.

The culprit didn't

leave behind any fingerprints.

Damn it.

As for Wu Yue...

The police

are actively looking for evidence.

Although Ding Li's email

was very suggestive,

it's cryptic and doesn't say much.

Ding Li also explained

that it was ordinary

technological cooperation

and that it had

no direct connection to this matter.

The rest of his excuses

was even more one-sided.

Then did they manage to contact Wu Yue?

Then nothing has changed.

Are we going to let

the culprit get away with this?

The ransacking of Xiao Que Xing's office,

how is the matter going?

We have already summoned

the suspect, Ding Li,

and are currently investigating.

What about Wu Yue?

We couldn't get in touch with Wu Yue.

But up till now,

there's no other evidence showing

that Wu Yue is involved.

Continue investigating.

This case

is more complex

than we think.

Understood.

Lin Shao.

What?

Hold on, let me check.

Zhang Jiang, give me your phone.

Xiao Xing Fu?

Can we sue them?

I can send an attorney's letter,

but it won't help.

This Xing Han Games Company currently

doesn't have any connections with you.

And it is also not

any of the suspects.

What if it's just a coincidence?

Even the interface and the modular design

are the same.

How can this be a coincidence?

But they can also send you

an attorney's letter

to say that your Xiao Que Xing is the copycat.

We can provide

our app screenshots,

including

our operations during the competition.

Can't all these prove

that we started earlier?

No, they can't.

You guys have only been alpha testing

and beta testing on a small scale.

They have already entered the market.

In just one day,

they reached the top of

the bestsellers' list.

More importantly,

you can't even produce

the original code.

(The coolest software of the year.)

(Let's root for it!)

(This is amazing and is going viral!)

(It even comes with filters to make me pretty!)

(Finally an app)

(that isn't over the top!)

(Thank the lords!)

(I successfully)

(matched with my prince charming.)

(This app is amazing!)

(Tons of likes!)

(Our entire dormitory has downloaded it.)

(Xiao Xing Fu has shown me)

(what effective socializing is like!)

(Hello to all my friends in this area!)

(Download this app now!)

Damned copycat.

You copied Xiao Que Xing.

Unscrupulous businessman.

All you do is robbing.

(Damned copycat. You copied Xiao Que Xing.)

(Unscrupulous businessman. All you do is robbing.)

(Xing Han Games, Corporate Culture)

(Honest, responsible, professional, enterprising) Xing Han Games...

(Xiao Xing Fu)

Yes.

It's an old company that has been

around for 10 years.

It had previously released

several games,

but its sales have been very average.

Entering the social media market

is a little odd.

I checked the company's shareholding on

the State Administration for Industry and Commerce's website.

There is no trace of Ding Li

and other shareholders

of Yunt.

Looks like Ding Li

is just another puppet of Ren Qian Qiu.

And it is just a

disposable tool.

It's too soon to say

that Ren Qian Qiu is involved.

But

no matter what,

Ding Li has successfully

removed himself from this matter.

In this way,

the police can't do

anything else to them.

I backtracked and

looked for all the information

on Xing Han Games

and several key shareholders

since the company was established

until today,

but I couldn't find anything

that broke any rules.

If that could be found

so easily,

then it wouldn't be Ren Qian Qiu.

It looks like

we have to find other ways.

This sure isn't easy.

But you really cannot

afford to drag this matter any longer.

We need a breakthrough now.

I need to go out for a bit.

You're not going to

turn yourself in, are you?

Seriously?

I'm just going to meet a friend.

Or rather...

an expert.

Really?

You should know

that you still

can't expose yourself.

If there's anything,

I can help you do it instead.

Don't exaggerate.

But

this person is someone

I have to meet personally.

Don't worry.

I will conceal myself properly.

Fine.

Go if you must.

I'll continue looking

into this Xing Han Games.

Let me know if you find anything.

Be careful.

(Chai Qing)

Still feeling depressed?

Need some help?

Are you

trying to come up with

the algorithm for image recognition

that you did previously?

I thought rewriting it would be fine.

But rewriting it

is not the same as the original.

At least,

its core is different.

You're right.

Perhaps,

this is fate.

The thing that you

worked so hard on

and spent so much effort writing

is now gone just like this.

It's frustrating.

It's upsetting.

It makes you angry.

You have no choice but to write it from scratch.

I once also had

such an experience.

And not just once.

But

when you rewrite it,

you will find that

your thoughts are extremely clear.

You know

what is useful

and what is

lengthy and complicated.

Xiao Man.

Perhaps this app

needs to be

developed again

in another way.

My daughter

can't be defeated.

Just like a cockroach.

I'm heading down.

Drinking alone is so boring.

I'll drink with you.

Be my guest.

These few days, Su Xiao Man

has come here to look for you every day.

She'll be here again tomorrow.

She's the only left

who hasn't given up.

There's also Lin Shao Ting.

Please tell them

that I haven't been here.

An old man like me

constantly participating

in the affairs of you young people.

Are you all ignoring the generation gap?

I have to say that

this new Xiao Xing Fu

is pretty good.

I actually got matched with

Xiao Li, the receptionist.

Seriously?

Yes!

The creator

is a real genius.

Maybe I'll download it later too.

If Lin Shao Ting was here,

he would've gone down there

and had a big fight with them.

Sometimes, I'm envious of him.

He can express

whatever he feels.

There'll always be someone to share his burdens.

Actually, everyone also

wants to share your burdens.

If I get them involved now,

things will only become more complicated.

Since everything is pointing towards me,

I should solve it myself.

You brat.

You're exactly the same as me

when I was young.

It's a pity that I didn't meet

my own Lao Xu at that time.

So if you think about it,

you're much luckier than me.

What a way to praise yourself.

Isn't it true?

All right, enough with the small talk.

Tell me.

What help do you want from me today?

It feels awful that you can always

read me like a book.

Why else

would I be the Legendary Lao Xu?

This

is the development company

of the new app.

I've checked their

shareholders,

but I don't recognize a single one of them.

Neither have I interacted with them.

I'm sure you know about nominee shareholders.

I thought about that too.

Even if there were,

the beneficial shareholders

cannot be known by the public.

I don't have any means to find out.

So I'd like to ask for your help.

There are many things

that should not be limited

to only what you can see.

A crafty person will have more than one backup plan.

I'm sure you know that.

There are many

things that were covered up in the past

that cannot be found

not because they don't exist,

but because you've been looking in the wrong place.

Thank you, Mr. Xu.

Don't.

I didn't help you with anything.

I don't do anything illegal.

Of course.

When Su Xiao Man came to me for help before,

she did everything she could to curry my favor.

She trimmed all the flowers here

on her own initiative.

All right.

Where is the toolbox?

Do you think

I am the curse of this group?

The moment I joined,

the app got stolen.

My Goddess.

Don't say that of yourself.

I am the idiot.

I'm jealous.

I make trouble.

I'm petty.

I finally had the chance to be a good person,

yet I screwed it up.

Why wasn't I more careful

when I was looking for investors?

It must be my fault.

I should have created

eighteen layers of passwords.

It was something so important.

I was too careless.

Zhang Jiang.

Do you think

this is my retribution?

I've done so many wrongs before this.

Is this heaven's way

of punishing me?

But

if you want to punish me, just punish me alone.

Why drag all of you

into the punishment as well?

Why?

Maybe it's because

I'm a rotten egg.

Xiao Man is a rotten egg too.

Lin Shao is a rotten egg.

Wu Yue...

is a huge, huge, huge

rotten egg.

Otherwise,

why would we be so pitiful?

Xiao Que Xing is gone.

Gone.

It's gone!

(LEGENDARY)

All right. That's enough.

There's still another half.

If you want to trim everything,

you'll only be done tomorrow.

If this causes you

to be tired for the next few days

and affects your actual work,

don't come blaming me.

I wouldn't dare.

You are such a one-track-minded kid.

You could have just done it as a matter of formality,

but here you are insisting on doing it perfectly.

People with an attitude of yours

are likely to be unnecessarily stubborn.

If I can do my best,

why wouldn't I do it?

Fine.

Seeing that you're doing

a much better job than Su Xiao Man,

I'll give you one more word of advice.

Pray tell.

Being spiteful hurts you physically and mentally.

You're actually

hiding from Su Xiao Man, right?

What a great view!

Did you know?

I'm leaving here soon.

What?

I'm a selfish person.

If a city

no longer

attracts me to it,

then I'll need to look

for my next destination.

But...

Everyone and everything

will eventually

be a thing of the past.

Even...

the Legendary?

Of course.

But if someone is willing

to take over from me,

then I would rather have Legendary

continue to be open.

Coming.

Turn on your computer.

I have something to show you.

What's going on?

The core of Xiao Que Xing

is to use quantitative analysis on individuals

to precisely recommend

profiles to people.

We've already discussed this

thousands of times.

Xiao Que Xing is gone.

What's the point of saying this now?

Pull yourself together.

Think about it.

There has been one problem

that we've never improved on.

You see,

humans are the variable.

This parameter will change

over time.
