[The Dance of the Storm]

[Episode 14]

You're a smart man.

Smart people wouldn't be shackled by the things of the past.

They'd live in the present.

You're all here.

Ms. Zheng.

Yunhao, my condolences.

We should leave the kids to handle things on their own.

I understand that you grew up with Li Junjie.

You both trained under Chen Gang...

and joined MOIS together.

He was your closest friend.

We were brothers.

These days, there aren't many young people...

who'd value friendship.

Be it brothers or friends,

I left him in charge of Li Junjie's case...

because I trust him.

He wouldn't confound right and wrong because of such bonds.

About Li Junjie's betrayal towards MOIS,

I realized it was filled with loopholes.

The interrogation was done carelessly.

It seems like we should have looked more into his goals...

and the forces behind him.

The pursuit was not important.

We did not have an appropriate plan.

I thought so, too.

I think we should continue to investigate this matter.

All the best.

Mr. Mu,

it's rare we'd share the same opinion on a certain matter.

Let's work together.

Keep up the good work. Relax.

I'm leaving.

Are you trying to avenge him?

I just want to prove his innocence.

About Li Junjie's case,

what else do you know?

When I was questioning Junjie,

he insisted he was being framed.

The culprit lured him to Ma Qiming's location...

by sending messages.

I'm aware of this.

Didn't Zixuan tell you?

Yes,

but she said she did not send the last one.

Someone sent the message through MOIS's interval server.

Before this,

you met Li Junjie at the lighthouse.

What else did he say to you?

He suspects the person who framed him is Mr. Mu.

Does he have any evidence?

No.

But I can confirm that...

once Jiang Hua arrived at the lighthouse, he shot Junjie immediately.

Before that,

Mr. Mu confiscated Junjie's phone.

By Junjie's suspicions,

if someone had set a trap, causing MOIS to believe Junjie was instigated,

the person would most likely be Mr. Mu.

Unfortunately, Zixuan isn't here.

Ms. Zheng,

you shouldn't allow her to act on her own.

It's too dangerous.

I can't persuade her.

You should know her better than I do.

Zixuan made up her mind...

to investigate Ruan Taiyuan.

In actuality, everyone knows this.

She's doing this for Li Junjie.

I know she's doing this for Junjie.

However, certain things...

cannot be reversed.

That might not be so.

Zixuan, I'll meet you at the tattoo parlour.

All right. I'll head over now.

Zixuan.

Do not head to Ruan Taiyuan on your own.

It's too dangerous.

I do not believe Junjie is dead.

I need to find him.

If he was truly killed,

I'll avenge him.

Zixuan, answer me after thinking it through.

I'm very certain about this.

Will you help me?

I knew...

I wouldn't be able to possibly change your mind.

Zixuan,

I do not want you to risk your life.

However, I have a way...

for you to infiltrate Ruan Taiyuan's circle safely.

Would you like to give it a try, Zixuan?

This is my plan.

You shall pose as a female assassin.

Her name is Mandala.

Apparently,

Ruan Taiyuan hired her once for her services.

Mandala was secretly arrested a year ago.

She has been incarcerated at Prison No. 794 the entire time.

This matter is only known to a few higher-ups of the police.

In order to retrieve valuable information,

the government and police...

did not expose this to the public.

The police has been questioning Mandala...

for over a year.

Mandala is shrewd.

She hasn't revealed anything useful.

We're all left helpless.

Fortunately, before she was arrested,

no one has seen her true appearance.

I would like to meet Mandala.

I can arrange that.

I will handle the procedures through the executives.

You're going to visit Mandala covertly.

However, whether you're able to retrieve...

necessary information from her,

that depends on your luck.

I want to find out her information in detail.

She goes by the codename, Mandala.

She's Asian-Chinese. Her specific nationality is unknown.

She's around 25 to 26 years old.

Did you notice anything wrong?

Boss, I watched the video again.

There isn't any sign of editing.

All right. Get some rest.

We gave you three days.

Now, finish him!

Afterward,

my parents abandoned me and went overseas.

I was raised by my grandmother.

However, my grandmother passed away a few years ago.

Back then, it seemed like...

I was left all alone without anyone to rely on...

for the rest of my life.

I met Li Junjie then.

He saved me from the hands of an assassin.

Did you know how terrified I was?

I asked him if he was a secret agent.

I asked if he was the CIA or FBI.

I myself wasn't sure if he was good or bad.

However, I knew that...

I could rely on him.

Thus, I followed him on the plane without hesitation and came all the way to Bacheng.

I came to where you are.

I'll trust whoever he trusts...

and hate whoever he hates.

He's a good person.

That's why I trust him.

Xiao Zheng, do you think he's doing fine right now?

Would they beat him up or berate him?

What happens if he's injured?

Would they starve him?

Whenever I shut my eyes, all I can think about is him.

I'm very concerned about his safety.

That's why I think, if he's able to survive his,

it doesn't matter if he doesn't love me.

I must stay by his side. I must help him out.

I'll be someone who is useful to him.

Jingwen, don't be afraid. Don't worry.

You have the rest of us.

Boss is here. I'm here.

We're your family.

Jingwen.

From the first moment I met you,

I fell in love with you.

You made my heart skip.

You made me realize what it means to be in the presence of a goddess.

Even if a day comes when Brother Junjie is no longer around,

I hope I'd be able to be someone you could rely on.

What do you mean by when Junjie is no longer around?

Did something happen to him?

Nothing. Nothing.

Xiao Zheng, be honest with me. Did something happen to him?

Nothing happened. Look at Boss.

- He's still planning the rescue. - I'm going to ask him myself.

Meng Liang.

Meng Liang!

Jingwen.

- Meng Liang. - Jingwen.

Jingwen!

Jingwen!

Jingwen!

Jingwen!

What's the matter?

Tell me.

What happened to Li Junjie?

Nothing has happened.

Why are you lying? What happened to him?

I'm not lying. Stop overthinking.

Why are you still saying that?

Hurry up and tell me what happened.

Brat, Junjie will be fine.

Did you see anything?

I'm sure you saw something.

I'm going to check it out. Let me go!

Brat. Sometimes, what you see might not be the truth.

Trust me.

You call me the sly, right?

- Let me go! - Trust my judgment.

You need to trust Junjie!

He's a good lad. He will not die this easily.

What did you see?

What do you mean by seeing isn't believing?

Let me go!

Let me go!

What's happened to him?

What's going on?

That's enough.

What's happened to him?

- How pretty. - Look.

Yes.

This is the one. I like it.

Are you Ms. Zhou Zixuan of MOIS?

Hello.

Excuse me.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Don't mention it.

I didn't know you were so young and beautiful.

You do not resemble a female agent at all.

Besides female criminals, we're all men here.

Your visit is a change of scenery.

Please lead the way.

Sure.

Mandala is extremely violent and ruthless.

She has been incarcerated for over a year.

She won't cooperate at all.

I know.

The visitation procedures are completed.

When can I meet Mandala?

Ms. Zhou, there's an order to all things.

For a dangerous criminal like her,

if contingency occurs during the visitation,

we will not be able to explain ourselves.

You're well aware that many came over time.

There were lawyers, inspectors, and negotiators.

None of them was able to get anything out of her.

They left defeated.

Fine. I'll drop by another time.

All right.

Goodbye. Take care.

By the way, MOIS is hosting a ball tonight.

The police commissioner of Bacheng will be attending as well.

I'm planning to compliment how strict and responsible the prison is managed.

Yes. Thanks for that.

Of course. The benefits are pretty great, too.

You're all permitted to fool around at work.

Not at all.

Ms. Zhou, you're hilarious.

When can I meet Mandala?

You can meet her right now.

Ms. Zhou, you're very lucky.

It's show time.

Brothers, get ready.

Stand guard outside.

Captain Zhou, I'm warning you for the last time.

It's not too late to regret your decision.

I've met plenty of criminals.

I have never met someone like her.

I heard you.

Are you suspecting me or investigating me?

We're just having a conversation.

Why are you so defensive?

I've never felt this way with you.

You're my superior after all.

Ms. Zheng,

you transferred all the way to Bacheng from the headquarters.

Are you challenging my authority...

or are you here for other reasons?

You're still the same.

Whenever you want to evade a question, you'd evade the subject entirely.

Trust me.

Whatever you're looking for, I'll disclose everything to you.

There are too many loopholes in Li Junjie's case.

You concluded the case carelessly.

Before obtaining the truth,

why did you insist he was being instigated?

Li Junjie ran away on his own.

He was abducted by terrorists.

I did not fabricate such facts.

Mu Chuan, do you dare swear...

that you have nothing to do with framing Li Junjie?

Without evidence, do not accuse me.

This isn't the way of MOIS.

I hope that you will never allow me to find evidence to my doubts.

Ms. Zheng, getting to the truth and persisting through are part of your character.

You assisted Zixuan to act on her own.

You're putting her in danger.

Zhou Zixuan is a specialist of MOIS.

She's investigating a case for MOIS.

Coming from you, why do you make it seem like I'm harming her?

Ms. Zheng, you've never changed over the years.

All that you're doing isn't for the case.

You're right, Mu Chuan.

Zixuan's mother was my closest friend.

You never revealed how the tragic death of...

Zixuan's parents, 17 years ago, was related to you.

You're wrong, Amanda.

Smart people would not be shackled by things of the past.

♫ And it will swallow me as soon as it drowns you ♫

♫ Everything that is empty is boundless ♫

♫ The memory is so light ♫

♫ Of this world ♫

Mandala, come down here.

Someone is here to see you.

Cutie.

Why didn't you come sooner?

Where were you last night?

I'm right here.

You're late.

Get out of here.

Hello, Mandala.

Hello.

Pretty girl.

Get out of here, too.

I wasn't lying.

Please leave us.

I'll leave you to it then.

Guys, protect Captain Zhou.

The usual.

Ten minutes.

Five minutes.

Two minutes.

Why are you in a daze? Fork out the money.

All right.

I bet ten minutes.

Five minutes.

I'll be frank.

I came for your help.

Me?

My help?

I have heard all about you.

Since you're aware,

why are you here?

I want you to help me.

Get me the death penalty.

Go home.

Don't waste your time.

You forged nationalities of various countries.

Mandala isn't your real name.

Do you know why I'm called the Mandala?

Many don't know.

I don't know either.

All I know is when I kill,

I'll leave a stalk of black Mandala Flower.

It's perfect.

You should be aware of your current situation.

I suggest you reconsider.

Let me ask you a question.

Do you know...

where men go...

after death?

Either Heaven or Hell.

I'm going to Hell for sure.

You're still young.

Perhaps, you might have a chance to leave this place.

You have a pretty face.

It would be a pity...

if it were scarred.

No way.

She's playing different tricks again.

Hey, Zhou Zixuan is pretty lucky.

Isn't it? The lawyer previously was beaten up while kneeling.

That was tragic.

Warden, you're losing.

Don't be ridiculous. It's not over yet.

Over the years,

you wandered all around the world and completed assassinations.

Do you even have a shred of remorse?

You're a woman as well.

Do you know how many lost their loved ones because of you?

How many children lost their parents because of you?

I've sinned.

Please forgive me...

and cleanse my soul.

I'm willing to offer my life...

as redemption to all my victims.

Mandala, I'm warning you.

This is your last chance.

I love death the most.

If you're able to help me,

I'll do my best to fulfill all your needs.

That's not a bad offer.

What do you want?

Let me see.

An important friend of mine was abducted.

I'm going to save him with your identity.

With your caliber?

- I know that by using your identity... - I got it.

This friend...

is important to you, right?

Yes.

Come. I'll tell you.

I'll tell you what I want.

I want...

I want...

I want you to die.

I came to see you...

in order to save someone I cherish.

How boring.

I'm tired.

Tell me your conditions.

I'll agree to them all.

I'm only asking you to help me this once.

Perhaps, you never had someone you cherished.

You'd never understand what it means to protect someone.

Goodbye.

Here's a kind reminder.

If you do not use my identity,

you might be able to meet the person you're looking for.

Sometimes,

facing reality...

is another form...

Music. Music.

Where's my music?

Where's my music?

My music.

My music.

This is wonderful.

Warden, you lost this time.

It's unexpected. Warden, apologies.

What are you doing?

Warden.

You can't take it back.

You guys are dull.

Work hard.

[Radish Hotel]

[Zheng Peini]

Hello.

Zixuan, I was told. Be patient.

There's a solution to everything.

Amanda, I really don't know what to do anymore.

Zixuan, listen to me.

We're unable to confirm Li Junjie's death right now.

I gave it some thought.

Allowing you to use Mandala's identity rashly might be a mistake.

I'm certain he's not dead.

He has hovered on the brink of death many times.

He managed to survive every time.

Yunhao teamed up with the police to come up with another rescue operation.

Hurry up and join them.

I want to verify his safety on my own.

Please help me once more.

I understand how you feel.

The current situation is unfavorable to us.

Despite using Mandala's identity, you can't...

I said, he's still alive. I can feel it.

Zixuan, this isn't the time to be emotional.

You must analyze the current situation calmly.

I'm begging you.

Just help me with this once.

I'll contact them again. However, prioritize your own safety.

I understand.

Thanks.

Welcome.

Hello, miss. What kind of flowers would you like to buy?

- I'm just looking around. - All right.

Check out these Campanula.

They are really fragrant.

Who would you like to buy these for?

I can recommend something.

These are Leucadendron.

These are new arrivals. They are imported Chamomile.

Do you like them?

- What are these? - Miss, you sure have a good eye.

These green Mandala are very rare.

Coincidentally, we brought in a few stalks today.

It carries a beautiful meaning. It symbolizes ceaseless hope.

- I want these. - All right.

Miss, these are pretty expensive.

- I want all of them. - All right.

Give me a moment. I'll wrap them up for you.

Warden, guess what?

Warden, Zhou Zixuan is here again.

The world has changed.

Why are women so bold?

How about this? Let's place another bet.

Come on.

- Here. - Here.

I knew you'd be back.

I came to give these to you.

I'll accept the flowers.

The color is unique,

but I prefer black...

or red.

I'll take them back if you don't like them.

The color isn't special, but...

they are pretty.

The flowers are delivered.

I'm leaving.

Hold on.

You did not...

come just to give me flowers, did you?

Come. Tell me.

It doesn't matter if I say anything.

That might not be true.

I've been incarcerated here alone for 18 months.

Talk to me. Tell me stories.

If I'm interested,

perhaps...

I might help you out.

The person who was abducted...

is my lover.

Your lover?

Here's a word for you.

All men are heartless.

- There are no exceptions. - He's different.

How is he different?

Tell me.

How did you know each other?

It's believed that an angel fell from the sky.

He fell from the sky as well.

You sure have a weird preference.

If he fell on his face,

he'd be hideous.

You're right.

But he isn't ugly at all.

Come on!

Gosh, that hurt!
