"The Dance of the Storm"

"Episode 28"

Mr Mu.

You've not changed one bit.

You're still at your prime.

You changed. You became a lot older.

I can't help it.

You've been hunting me down all these years.

I had to live in fear and go into hiding.

Anyone would grow old in such circumstances.

I ordered this for you.

I remember you enjoy Americano.

Thanks.

Mr Mu.

Back when I first met you,

you were a police officer of Banang.

I was your informant.

At one point, I thought you were valiant and selfless.

I even begun to look up to you.

I was willing to die with you...

without regrets.

Afterwards, I realised...

that you could never be satiated.

You ordered me to...

gather intelligence on businessmen and politicians...

in order to win them over.

You eventually climbed higher,

but you were still dissatisfied.

Isn't that right?

Meng Liang.

I've known you for over 20 years.

You haven't improved a single bit.

You're still as immature as before.

It is part of human nature to strive for one's ambition.

I have goals.

There's no future in your life.

Dr Liang.

What's wrong with Mu Chuan?

He abducted me all of sudden.

Then, he released me.

Why would you pick me up instead?

Where's Sly Meng?

Meng went to meet Mu Chuan.

Jing Wen, where are you?

It was Sly Meng.

He saved me. He gave himself as an exchange for me.

He's with Mu Chuan right now.

Okay. Don't worry.

I'll rescue him.

Head back to the clinic with Liang Kun and wait for my news.

Okay.

There's nothing wrong with bearing ambitions and burdens.

However, for the sake of personal gain,

you harm your brothers who went through life and death with you.

For the sake of personal desires,

you trampled on the lives of people.

Your hands are defiled with blood.

Chen Gang...

discovered your secret,

so you ordered Jia Lai to have him killed.

I'm very curious, Mr Mu.

By attaining success this way,

wouldn't you be plagued by nightmares?

You call yourself my brother?

Back then, you and Chen Gang were up my trail.

They wanted to kill you as well.

I spared your life.

This is brotherhood.

If that's the case,

I should thank you for sparing my life instead.

Mu Chuan, there's a saying that goes,

what goes around, comes around.

Let me put it in simpler terms.

Do you not fear retribution?

I do not believe in retribution.

I only believe in myself.

I believe in retribution.

You might have framed me for...

the death of Li Guo Xin and his wife,

causing me to be blacklisted by the police,

I was constantly on the run,

but their child,

Li Jun Jie...

entered MOIS.

He opposed you constantly.

He wants to put an end to your deeds.

Isn't this fate?

Isn't this retribution?

Listen to me.

The things you've failed to find,

Li Jun Jie would never be able to find them as well.

If you put it that way,

I've a certain idea...

the situation Jun Jie is in.

You're going to deal with him the way you dealt with me.

He'd be framed.

He'd be accused.

He'd be pursued.

He will become the next Meng Liang.

Am I right?

Meng Liang, after all these years,

you've finally said something sound.

I want to know why you'd like to meet me.

I'll be honest with you.

For me to come here today,

I do not plan on leaving.

If I did not show up,

I believe you wouldn't let that woman go.

She's still young.

Exchanging her life with this old life of mine...

is a pretty good deal.

Besides, I don't have much time left.

If you would send me off personally,

it'd fulfil the bond we once shared.

This shot is to avenge Zhou Zhi Ping.

Meng Liang.

Meng Liang.

What?

Meng Liang resisted arrest.

Get on.

Speak.

Okay.

Mr Mu.

Li Jun Jie escaped.

He still has support.

A motorcyclist picked him up.

They disappeared during the traffic congestion.

However, we've yet to receive news from the city checkpoint.

They are probably still in town.

Mr Mu.

Should we deploy forces to search the entire city?

Mr Mu.

For the coffee you asked to be tested,

the results are out.

Tell me.

It's a regular cup of Americano.

No toxic substances were detected.

Get out.

Okay.

Get out.

Get out of here, all of you.

I couldn't even bring his body along.

You still have me.

Let's...

finish what Meng Liang couldn't together.

Okay.

These are evidence Meng Liang acquired with his life.

It's probably a record of his conversation with Mu Chuan.

I'm sorry, Jun Jie.

I went to the city hall yesterday.

However, when I was waiting at the lounge,

Mu Chuan came.

He spoke to me.

He told me,

my parents' death wasn't an accident,

it was premeditated murder.

He has been investigating the case over the years.

Has he found the culprit?

Not at the moment.

However, he admitted that he was part of Scorpio.

The Scorpio we know...

isn't what we believe it to be.

He wants me to give him a chance.

I don't know if I should say this.

If I said something wrong,

will you get mad?

Yes.

He knows you very well.

He raised you all these years.

He also knows your weaknesses.

What he said might be true,

but it might be a lie as well.

He might be buying time.

Do you understand?

What do you plan to do?

It's not safe with Yun Hao.

Mu Chuan might have informants...

placed around him.

Okay.

Jing Wen, food is almost done.

Here.

Here.

This calls for a quick celebration.

Did something go wrong again?

What happened?

Sly Meng.

Did something...

happen to Meng Liang?

Meng...

is gone.

It was Xiao Zheng the last time.

This time it's Sly Meng.

It's all my fault.

Everything was my fault.

They did it to save me.

I shouldn't have unlocked the code.

If I hadn't accessed...

the code in the beginning,

none of these would have happened.

None of these would have happened.

Come here.

Jing Wen.

None of this is your fault.

Before Meng Liang left,

he already knew he doesn't have much time left.

He told me,

if you found out,

he wants me to comfort you.

Before saving you,

he was defeated by something else.

What do I do?

What do I do?

Meng.

What do I do?

Captain Shi.

You intentionally let Li Jun Jie go.

So many men were present.

It's impossible we'd fail to apprehend him.

No, Maya.

By the time we arrived,

Li Jun Jie was picked up by someone else.

That means you didn't even catch a glimpse of him.

We did,

but the motorcycle whirred by.

I'm asking Captain Shi!

The incident back at the lighthouse.

You let Li Jun Jie go then.

He was present the night MOIS was infiltrated.

Shi Yun Hao.

It was you all along.

You were covering for him.

Maya.

Please mind your attitude.

All you need to do is to fulfil your required tasks.

Maya, when did you realise...

Li Jun Jie isn't dead?

Did you find out during...

our conversation then?

Yes.

Captain Shi and Captain Zhou knew about this before I did.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

You said this to me.

Everyone bears secrets.

One must protect oneself and others.

Are you protecting yourself...

or are you protecting others?

I...

Jun Jie.

Meng is dead.

He died to save me.

It was to save me.

Sly Meng.

I recorded this footage at Banang.

Whoever that's watching this video,

I hope you'd make it an evidence...

to restore the innocence of Li Jun Jie, an agent of MOIS.

I'm Meng Liang.

I'm no one significant.

However, all my life, I've been trying to defeat...

a significant person named Mu Chuan.

Those who are going to appear in the video,

besides me,

is an important member of MOIS, Mu Chuan.

Mu Chuan is the director of MOIS, Banang.

I was his informant 17 years ago.

He was a friend I could rely on.

However, back then, I had no idea...

that Mu Chuan was involved in a...

secret plan, known as VX.

They were developing a sophisticated hacking weapon,

which is the current prototype of VX3.

Zhou Zi Xuan's father, Zhou Zhi Ping...

was the person in charge of Plan VX.

Back then, I personally escorted Li Guo Xin and his wife...

to the island.

In the explosion of the island villa,

Li Guo Xin and his wife lost their lives.

Coincidentally,

on the same day,

Zhou Zhi Ping and his wife died of a traffic accident.

I do not believe this to be a coincidence.

I took these photos...

in hopes that one day,

they'd be made evidence in court.

In order to cover the truth,

he framed me as the murderer.

I was wanted by the Interpol.

From then on, I ran for my life...

until I met Chen Gang, an agent of MOIS.

He was the only one who believed I was innocent...

because he discovered a chip...

consisting of Mu Chuan's secrets.

Hello.

If Li Jun Jie...

finds out the truth of the past,

with his character,

he will not let this go.

That's great.

He has the right to know.

Perhaps, he may be our point of breakthrough.

If we do so,

we would be dragging him into the core of the mess.

He may be able to resolve the mystery.

At the same time, his life would be at risk.

He isn't one to give up easily.

It's a blessing, not a curse.

All right.

How is it going on your side?

I found something.

Check on it.

Okay.

Why did you come to me today?

Keep this.

What is this?

A data pack I acquired...

from Mu Chuan.

It's highly encrypted.

I tried, but I can't seem to access it.

It probably consists...

confidential secrets.

Try to unlock it.

Chen Gang.

Mu Chuan is extremely cunning and crafty.

Be careful.

Same to you.

Take care.

Take care.

You possess something that doesn't belong to you.

Hand it over.

What are you talking about?

Cut the crap.

Give it to me.

After him!

Hurry up.

Hello.

Mu Chuan has begun to suspect you.

Watch out.

Okay. You should be careful too.

He's much more familiar with Banang than you are.

He won't be able to trace me.

Watch out. I'll contact you once I obtain any information.

Not long after Chen Gang was attacked,

he had an impending feeling...

that Mu Chuan is going to kill him.

He asked me out once again.

What is it this time?

I called you out...

to entrust an important matter to you.

Go ahead.

Mu Chuan has his guard up against me.

He won't be able to detect anything easily.

Mu Chuan is extremely cautious.

If anything happens to me,

you must help Li Jun Jie...

get to the bottom of this.

I'm just worried...

because Li Jun Jie is impulsive and emotional.

Don't worry.

I'll help him out.

You need to beware.

When we were close to the truth,

Chen Gang was suddenly killed.

Don't kill him.

It's pointless.

I'm coming out right now.

Master, no!

Master, no!

Jun Jie, take Zi Xuan and get out of here.

Li Jun Jie, keep this in mind.

You're the cause of your master's death.

Master.

Today, I'm planning to...

get Mu Chuan to confess to his crimes.

Chen Gang discovered your secret,

so you ordered Jia Lai to have him killed.

You call yourself my brother?

Back then, you and Chen Gang were up my trail.

I killed Chen Gang then...

and spared your life.

This is brotherhood.

You might have framed me for...

the death of Li Guo Xin and his wife,

but their child,

Li Jun Jie...

entered MOIS.

He opposed you constantly.

The things you've failed to find,

Li Jun Jie would never be able to find them as well.

If you put it that way,

I've a certain idea.

You're going to deal with him the way you dealt with me.

He'd be framed.

He'd be accused.

He'd be pursued.

Meng Liang, after all these years,

you've finally said something sound.

Mr Mu.

Mr Mu.

Zi Xuan hasn't returned.

I stopped her from attending the prep meet.

I've not seen her since.

Did you give her a call?

No.

I heard that...

the female rider who picked Li Jun Jie up was Zi Xuan.

The person had a helmet on.

I couldn't see who it was.

If it wasn't Zi Xuan,

who would it be?

The situation was chaotic then.

I dare not declare the identity casually.

Yun Hao.

You may try to cover up...

before me,

I hope it's not Zi Xuan either.

Get back to work.

For me to come here today,

I do not plan on leaving.

If I do not show up,

I believe you wouldn't let that woman go.

She's still young.

Exchanging her life with this old life of mine...

is a pretty good deal.

Besides, I don't have much time left.

If you'd would send me off personally,

it'd fulfil the bond...

we once shared.

I want to meet him.

The boss would like to meet you too.

I'll have it arranged.

The explosion 17 years ago...

changed the lives of many.

Since then,

he was blacklisted by the police.

Interpol also believed...

he was instigated by terrorists.

He had no choice but to constantly be on the run.

My parents died at that time too.

I always believed it to be a car accident...

until Meng Liang told me...

their deaths might not be as simple.

Your parent's death...

is related to Mu Chuan.

It must be related to Scorpio as well.

Meng Liang once told me,

there are more important members in Scorpio.

Those people are still unknown.

The relationships between them are complicated as well.

It's Yun Hao.

Hello.

Zi Xuan, where are you?

I'm taking a walk.

I'm sorry.

During the meeting yesterday,

it wasn't intentional.

It's fine.

I know those were Mr Mu's orders.

Is Jun Jie with you?

It's okay.

I'm just tired.

Bye.

He knows we're together.

He covered for me when we left the coffee house.

He will not tell Mu Chuan.

I just wish to end this as soon as possible.

I've made my decision.

We're going to report Mu Chuan to the city hall.

With Jun Jie's current situation,

he'd be arrested before arriving at the city hall.

There's another way.

Give Li Jun Jie a new identity.

What do you mean?

Young Master Yun Hao.

Hello, Young Master Yun Hao.

All right. One more take.

Okay, another one.

Here.

All right.

This can totally pass off as authentic.

This is just the preliminary step.

Tomorrow at the entrance of city hall,

his documents will be scanned.

If his identification...

shows up in the system,

only then he's allowed to enter.

Is it possible to sneak the information...

in there?

No.

It will only work...

if we switch his identification...

with existing personnel during the scan tomorrow.

That's why I need you guys...

to buy me some time.

However, Li Jun Jie...

doesn't resemble a commander at all.

Sly Meng resembles one though.

If only he was still around.

Do I look like a commander?

You just look like a parent.

Everything depends on tomorrow.

Please.

Boss.

Here. Drink with me.

Forget it. I have no time.

Why did you ask for me?

Don't be impatient.

I finally returned to Banang.

I invited my son home.

Must I have a reason to?

Mr Ma, Mr Mu, the director of MOIS is here to meet you.

Would you like to meet him?

Qin, lead young master elsewhere.

Yes, sir.

Young master, please.

Receive the guest in.

Yes, sir.

Have a seat.

It seems like...

you're planning to reside in Banang.

Are you upset that...

I've been staying too long here in Banang?

I know that before certain matters are done,

you will not be leaving Banang.

I'm only concerned with one thing.

When are you going to...

hand over the VX3?

I left the VX3 in your care...

because MOIS was safe.

You hid it instead.

You're an investor.

I respect you.

Even back then during the development of VX,

you're still the...

respected investor...

and head of project.

Banang's government sought my cooperation...

to save the city from hackers with the VX3.

You're still holding onto VX3.

There are too many who harbour ill intentions for the VX3.

Especially Ruan Tai Yuan. She's extremely dangerous.

Her subordinate, Jia Lai...

targeted the VX3 many times.

You're aware as well.

Jia Lai escaped my grasp.

According to my informant,

he's still in Banang.

Arresting Jia Lai...

is the duty of the police and MOIS.

I'll not concern myself with that.

You're stubborn. Nothing I say will get to you.

However, allow me to remind you.

That thing is dangerous.

Keeping it by your side...

is like keeping a time-ticking bomb.

I'm doing this...

for the sake of everyone's benefit in the long term.

Yes, for everyone's sake,

you should disclose the location of VX3.

Otherwise, if something were to befall you,

no one would be able to find it.

Don't worry. I'll protect myself.

Is there going to be a bigger surprise tonight?

You're pretty curious.

Of course I am.

Legally, we're father and son.

However, I know...

nothing about you.

I do agree that you know nothing about me.

I had no idea you invested in the research and development...

of the VX3 sought by all.

It's minor experiment crashed the market of Banang.

It is the VX3 after all.

It was as I predicted.

Are you proud...

for creating such monstrosity?

Monstrosity?

Nuclear energy may provide clean energy for mankind.

It can also be a weapon sweeping millions of lives in an instant.

Microwave helps in heating up food quickly.

It can only destroy electronic components within a certain range.

There are two sides to a coin.

As a full-grown adult,

I believe you have your own judgments.

Do not speak immaturely.

Mu Chuan said,

as long as Ruan Tai Yuan is captured,

he'd hand VX3 over to you.

Will he really do so?

I'm certain...

that even if Ruan Tai Yuan dies,

he'd never hand over the VX3.

Fortunately,

he doesn't possess the controller.

I know...

Li Jun Jie gave the controller to you.

Yes, it is in my possession.

However, Mu Chuan refuses to hand you the VX3.

Is it because he has greater ambitions?

Everyone has ambitions.

However, everyone is accountable...

for the consequences of their own actions.

Give me the controller.

I'd be able to obtain the complete VX3.

I'll not give...

the controller to anyone.

Because I do not trust...

neither of you.
