"The Dance of the Storm"

"Episode 33"

Mu Chuan is in Sizhang Island Prison. It's very dangerous.

Those from Scorpio won't let him off.

If something happens,

we'll lose the lead on VX3.

Second,

I can sense that...

there's another mastermind behind Mu Chuan.

Meng Liang once told me...

that Mu Chuan and Ruan Tai Yuan...

are competitors.

They don't get along with each other, yet they could join forces.

It only makes sense that behind them,

there's another person with greater power...

who is controlling all this.

Just like in the Three Kingdoms.

It seems we'll be able to find Cao Cao...

from that chip.

Also,

Mu Chuan is your adoptive father.

Whether he's really a bad guy or not,

he deserves a fair trial.

I didn't know...

you've become so thoughtful now.

You taught me well.

You're currently in a dangerous situation.

Remember to mind your safety.

Any clues about the chip?

Jing Wen said Meng Liang told her there's a backup copy.

Meng Liang has a brother called Mark.

The backup copy might be with him.

Go look for Liang Kun.

I'm going to ask him for Mark's information later.

I might go out for a while.

I'll see you when I'm back.

Mind your safety when you're outside.

Come on. Will you give me a kiss?

No.

No one will see us.

I only have ten minutes.

Quick, we're running out of time.

Scram, all of you!

Mr Mu, are you accustomed to life here so far?

Mr Mu,

you're a dignified man,

but this isn't a dignified place.

Even if it were a lion being thrown into a wolf pack,

if it doesn't yield,

it might get torn into pieces...

by the wolves anytime.

Are you a lion or a wolf?

I'm neither of them.

I'm just a messenger.

Someone told me to pass you this message.

If you hand them what they're after,

you'll be able to leave this place safely very soon.

Or else?

Or else?

Or else, perhaps none of us wished...

this matter would have a bad outcome.

Go back and tell your leader,

I won't be threatened.

Mu Chuan,

we've already given you face.

I advise you to accept the offer, or I can't guarantee what will happen.

Do you think you're still the director of MOIS?

In this prison,

do you know how many pairs of eyes...

are staring at you?

All of them are here because of you.

If you wish to survive,

I advise you to give some thoughts to...

what I've told you just now.

Dr Liang.

You've only left for a few days, and you already missed me?

Dr Liang,

we meet again.

What is she doing here?

Wait.

The reason Jing Wen asked you out to meet me today...

is because I need your help...

with something very important.

Have a seat first.

It's really an important business.

Go ahead. What is it?

Then I'll be straightforward.

I need to find Mark.

We need more information about Mark.

Back then, the base was attacked,

and Zheng died.

The hard disk which stored the chip was also broken.

But Sly Fox told us before,

Mark's holding a backup copy with complete information.

That's why we have to retrieve it.

You need to help us.

Do you think...

finding the chip will solve the issue?

You two are too naive.

Meng Liang held on to it throughout his life...

and was even killed because of it.

I suggest you give up.

Dr Liang,

perhaps it's rude...

for me to ask you this.

But I really want to know...

how long you've worked with Meng Liang.

Back and forth, for longer than a decade now.

You've worked with him for so many years,

so how could you...

say such things now?

But that's the truth.

Meng is dead,

but did the murderer suffer any losses?

All these years whereby he was tracked down and framed,

what did he get?

You're wrong.

Meng Liang didn't die in vain.

We arrested Mu Chuan because of his video.

And Mu Chuan is in prison now.

As long as we obtain the chip,

we'll be able to...

prosecute more people like Mu Chuan.

We desperately need Mark now.

So, please help us.

I think you've asked the wrong person...

with regards to this matter.

I really have no idea.

The only thing I can tell you is,

life is short. Cherish it.

Goodbye.

Dr Liang,

let me tell you,

Li Jun Jie is being imprisoned when he didn't do wrong,

and Sly Fox is also not around anymore.

I've always thought...

you're compassionate and responsible like them.

I didn't expect...

you're so heartless.

Even Zheng is better than you.

I was wrong about you.

Let's go, Zi Xuan.

Young lady,

there's an arcade downstairs.

Go and play for a while.

Is this the time...

for me to be playing games?

Listen to him, Jing Wen.

I hope you'll promise me one thing.

Jing Wen mustn't take part in it, no matter what happens.

Meng, Zheng,

and others were sacrificed so she could survive.

You have to guarantee her safety.

All right. You have my word.

Rao, Mark is in Rao.

I found him.

Look,

according to information provided by Dr Liang,

although the managers...

of these clubs appear to be different individuals,

in fact, Mark is the boss behind all these businesses.

Besides, after Sly Fox was killed,

these clubs went through a transfer of ownership,

but this club alone...

didn't change their business information.

So why did he keep this club?

Because he didn't sell it.

A month ago,

a gunfight occurred there.

He still has an ongoing legal claim lawsuit,

so he couldn't operate it as usual,

according to normal procedure.

Contact these people.

Tell them I'm buying it, with cash payment.

Okay.

I've sent them the email.

Do you think this Mark will show up?

He sold the clubs he owned...

so he could run off with the money.

People who wish to do so...

won't hand their cash to others to handle.

So when will we act?

Not "we", I'm the only one who is going.

Why?

I promised Dr Liang yesterday...

not to let you take part in it.

Zi Xuan, even if I did go,

he also won't find out.

But I can't go back on my words.

Jing Wen, you don't have any field operations experience.

Investigating online for me...

is also considered helping.

Listen to me.

From the high life to rock bottom.

Such a fall from grace,

do you think you can take it?

They won't give you a lot of time...

to turn things around.

You know that.

Why aren't you talking now?

To me,

remaining silent is the best way.

Do you think remaining silent...

will save you from being killed?

I'll only be killed sooner if I talk too much.

Cooperate with us.

I'll guarantee your safety...

and make sure you leave this place alive.

You? Who are you people?

We're here to protect you.

Li Jun Jie,

instead of me,

Zi Xuan is the one you should protect.

Wake up. You have a call.

Come over.

Hurry up.

Hello.

Did you like the gift you received earlier?

Save the greetings.

I don't have a lot of time.

Okay.

So when are you going to hand VX3 to me?

I've lost my memory.

What VX3?

Aren't you afraid I'm going to kill you?

Let me tell you,

you'll never find what you want if you kill me.

There's nothing that I can't get my hands on.

I really can't recall.

Hello.

Young Master Yun Hao,

the Boss wishes to speak with you.

Yun Hao,

let me ask you,

was it you who arranged...

Mu Chuan's imprisonment?

You overestimate my capability.

Do you think I have power over the police?

Spare me your nonsense.

Do you have acquaintances in Sizhang Island Prison?

Are you going to harm Mu Chuan?

Only serious offenders are imprisoned there.

I have nothing to do with those kinds of criminals.

I hope what you said is true.

I hope you aren't planning to take any action.

Do you think you'll be safe by hiding here?

Look at those two people outside.

You keep telling me you want to protect Zi Xuan.

Do you know why

I had to leave Banang three years ago?

Besides the fact that you won't let me investigate...

the cause behind Master's death,

I left Banang...

exactly to save Zi Xuan.

So, do you know...

who told Jia Lai to chase you away?

It was me.

Zi Xuan used to think...

I'm a good father,

a great hero.

Letting Zi Xuan Join MOIS...

was the biggest mistake I've ever made.

I just wanted her to...

lead a happy life like other people.

It'd be good enough...

even if she works as an administrative staff at MOIS.

But who knew, she chose to be an agent.

I remember Chen Gang also advised me many times.

As an instructor, I have the duty to report this to you.

Zhou Zi Xuan has the potential...

to be the best agent MOIS has ever seen.

If she gives up halfway,

it'll be a loss both for MOIS and herself.

She's suffered enough from the training.

What kind of future is there to talk about?

It's not so serious.

The way I see it, the present training...

isn't pushing them to their limits.

This squad consisting of Zhou Zi Xuan, Li Jun Jie,

and Shi Yun Hao...

is the squad with the most potential I've ever taught.

Their potential...

hasn't been fully unleashed yet.

Of course, you're the person in charge.

Do you want an outstanding commissioner...

or an office worker?

Fine, ignore what I've just said.

I'll take my leave.

What father in this world...

would let his daughter suffer?

I'm the same.

Sorry, Third Uncle.

Sorry, Mr Mu.

I didn't mean to interrupt your meeting on purpose.

Look at you,

acting all business-like.

Smile.

Go ahead and smile.

Come on, smile wider.

Ms Zhou, how can I help?

Report.

It's about my recent training arrangements.

I reckon I'm capable of...

keeping up with the training progress of the squad.

But the order you gave the instructor was...

all about indoors learning.

I find it unacceptable.

I hope Mr Mu will amend the training plan...

according to my own will.

What are you doing?

You might get injured from this.

I know my own health...

better than anyone.

I believe it won't affect the training,

and even less likely to be everyone's burden.

This is just training.

You don't need to be so harsh on yourself.

Each training is a rehearsal of actual combat.

You're the one who told me that.

Without going through complete training,

a person cannot be considered...

an eligible MOIS commissioner.

That's also what you told me.

Special times call for special measures.

What matters most now is,

your safety is the topmost priority.

I don't need this kind of special treatment.

All right.

Third Uncle,

I just want to be a commissioner like everyone else.

I hope I can be like Jun Jie and Yun Hao,

to win MOIS' badge...

with my own effort...

instead of other factors.

I don't want others to talk behind my back...

about what I can achieve...

because of my uncle.

All right.

Since you insist,

I'll give Chen Gang a call...

for him to resume your training.

I knew you're the best, Third Uncle.

All right, go back to your training.

Looking at Zi Xuan as she leaves,

I suddenly realised, she has grown up.

But as her father,

I didn't want my daughter to grow up,

because if she did, she'd come across bad people.

And that's you.

He taught me a lot of stuff during this training.

I realised he's really funny...

and very loyal to his friends.

He also protected me often during training...

and taught me combat and disguise among other things.

Anyway,

I learned a lot from him.

You won't stop talking about this Li Jun Jie.

Are you in love with him?

The reason I'm against you and Zi Xuan being together...

is because you used to be immature and reckless.

You'll only be a bad influence on Zi Xuan.

Li Jun Jie,

it's set. We're returning on Saturday.

Why did you come back 24 hours late?

Third Uncle, we rushed to the airport...

but we missed the flight.

Silence.

I'm not asking you.

Li Jun Jie, speak.

The next day was a Sunday.

We didn't have to work,

so we went on an outing. Is that an issue?

Agree?

You'll be transferred to the logistics department starting next week.

Why?

You didn't follow the rules.

Did I, or are you the one who is being unreasonable?

You broke the rules.

Jun Jie.

Mr Mu, if you're transferring him,

you can transfer me as well.

Fine, permission granted.

Mr Mu,

I'm the one who caused this.

Since the two of them are being punished,

then I'm also going...

so we can take care of each other.

That's enough.

Trying to cause trouble now?

Mr Mu, give them one more chance.

Let me talk to them, alright?

You can tell Li Jun Jie...

what's the meaning of rules.

If this ever happens again,

I'm going to fire him.

So you're trying to tear us apart?

I didn't think Zi Xuan would root for you.

At that moment, I finally understood.

No matter what I said,

Zi Xuan would never listen...

until Chen Gang was killed,

and you secretly brought Zi Xuan along to investigate Jia Lai.

Did you know that?

Your actions put Zi Xuan in danger...

because someone wished to get rid of you and Zi Xuan.

I can't allow that.

So, you're also the one who ordered Chen Gang to be killed?

Chen Gang and Meng Liang have been secretly investigating Scorpio.

His name was on the hit list to begin with.

-Master! -Master!

-Master! -Master!

I told Jia Lai to warn you instead of killing you...

because you didn't take part in it.

I made you leave Zi Xuan, away from Banang...

because it was the best way to protect her.

Three years later, Zi Xuan sent you a message so you could return.

Not only did Yun Hao plead to me,

but Zi Xuan also contacted the headquarters without my knowing...

to pressure me to reinstate you.

Actually, I knew...

you came back because you wanted to protect Zi Xuan.

But what you didn't know is,

Jia Lai stealing VX3...

was a scheme from the very beginning.

But I didn't expect...

Ruan Tai Yuan was going to keep VX3 for herself.

She had actually ordered Jia Lai to steal it.

What was even more unexpected was that...

you, an outsider, became the protagonist of this story,

causing Jia Lai's mission to fail.

You did me a huge favour.

I was moved when you risked your life to save Zi Xuan.

Go ahead and shoot.

When you didn't kill Jia Lai,

I realised that you'd become more mature than you were three years ago.

Do you know who sent you the email...

to lure you to the rooftop?

Who?

It was me who framed you..

For attempting to assassinate Ma Qi Ming.

Because you walked the same path as Chen Gang did.

You got the chip from Meng Liang,

which means you were getting closer to Scorpio's secrets.

This is Scorpio's symbol.

I'm not sure what Scorpio signifies yet.

It could be an individual or an organisation.

Besides, at that point, Zi Xuan was also involved.

If you keep on investigating,

Zi Xuan will again be in danger.

That's why I had to do something about you.

I sent you the fourth message...

luring you to the rooftop.

After finding out you were arrested,

I destroyed all the evidence.

All the time, I was thinking...

why they had to put in so much effort...

to send me to prison.

Coming up with a scheme like this,

saying I tried to assassinate Ma Qi Ming.

It must be because I know of their little secret.

Am I right?

At the interrogation room,

after I heard what you've said,

but certain things are already set in stone.

I must find Hasan who was responsible for Ma Xiao Jun's death...

to seek justice for him.

Since you came back,

you've indeed become more mature.

After being wanted by the police,

you even tried to set me up.

In fact, I think...

having you shot dead by the police...

might be a good option as well.

Your act of falling into the ocean was impressive indeed.

Everyone thought you were dead.

It's true, at that time, I already knew...

you're the spy within MOIS.

I just didn't have the evidence.

Growing to be my opponent...

means you must've learned quite a lot from Chen Gang.

I finally felt more at ease...

when you fell into Ruan Tai Yuan's grasp.

Tell me any information you know.

I'll go and save her.

Zi Xuan went missing.

She might've come across danger...

and is uncontactable.

When I saw Zi Xuan risking her life...

to avenge you,

I felt dejected for the first time...

as a father.

I didn't think...

you matter so much to her.

She's even willing to risk her life.

Back then, Ruan Tai Yuan injected poison into her.

In the end, I gave her a call,

saving Zi Xuan from being killed.

I'm willing to give up anything...

for Zi Xuan's sake.

I can give you the VX3,

but you have to release someone.

Who is it?

Zhou Zi Xuan.

Little did I expect,

Zi Xuan seemed to have become a different person after she came back.

Mr Mu, be honest with me.

Are you a member of Scorpio?

She never talked to me with that tone before.

It felt like I was losing her.

But for her,

I was willing to do anything...

because she's the one...

I should be protecting for the rest of my life,

even if she no longer trusted me.

I don't believe that you're a bad guy.

But now...

that everything's happened right before my eyes,

what am I supposed to believe in?

How many other schemes...

are hidden behind all this?

At that moment, it was clear...

that there was no turning back.

I thought my secrets...

would be secured following Meng Liang's death.

However, disaster lurks within good fortune.

Never would I have thought...

that Meng Liang would exchange his life...

for my criminal evidence.

Perhaps I'll never be...

a great hero to her anymore.

But as long as I'm her father,

it'll be enough.

Actually, I've always had this wish.

Hopefully, one day I'll set aside all this...

and be a good father to Zi Xuan.

To watch her as she puts on her wedding dress,

and...

to hold her arm while she walks down the aisle on her wedding.

To entrust her to someone...

who can look after her for life.

Do you know why...

I didn't shoot you dead that day?

It wasn't because I couldn't bring myself to do it.

It was because of Zi Xuan.

Do you know why...

I'm drinking milk with you here?

It's because you're her adoptive father,

and you know why my parents died.

I'm here to save you.

Why can't you understand?

I understand it now.

They're going to kill me no matter what.

Actually, my life...

doesn't really matter anymore.

The truth...

isn't as simple as you think.

Right now, at this place,

you'll never get any information.

Neither will I tell you.

However,

I acknowledge you as a father.

I'm willing to entrust Zi Xuan to you.

Take good care of Zi Xuan for me.

Stubborn old man.

Don't forget, I can also protect you.

One thing I like about you is that you're so obstinate.

Remember that.

Come on.

Do you think...

this needs to be further amended?

Let's see.

Are these information correct?

That'll do.

Okay.

From now on, this office...

will be yours.

Tell them to help you carry your belongings here.

It's fine. I'll do it myself.

Zi Xuan, you know that...

I can't stay in Banang forever.

I also know your ambition.

This office will be yours sooner or later.

You should move in here.

My mind's only thinking about Mu Chuan's case now.

And Jun Jie, he...

I know.

Ms Zheng,

I'd like to apply for two days' leave.

I'm going to Rao.

You're here just in time.

I was going to look for you.

What's the matter?

Tell me why you're here first.

I'm here to ask you about Jun Jie.

That's the Department of Security's decision.

But we can't just sit around and wait.

I'll say this again.

That's the Department of Security's decision.

If you wish to help Jun Jie,

you can go and collect the evidence.

Let evidence do the talking.

All right, since you've said why you're here,

I have a mission for you.

What mission?

Help me guide a disciple.

First, you have to hold this grip with your hands.

You'll find a button on it...

which will eject the clip with a single press.

-This way, you'll... -Sorry to interrupt.

Chen Jing Wen, come over.

Ms Zheng.

Let me introduce you.

He is the Operations Team's High Commissioner,

Shi Yun Hao.

From now on,

he'll be your mentor during your internship.

Nice to meet you, Master.

No, Ms Zheng.

A lot of things happened recently.

I'm really busy.

Even better. Now you have an assistant.

You can leave many tasks to her.

I'll entrust Chen Jing Wen to you.

Learn properly from your mentor.

Let's carry on.

No...

Coach Li, leave us first.

Okay.

Have you used a gun before?

Yes.

I'm really skilled at shooting balloons at the arcade.

That's a toy gun. This is the real gun.

Put on your ear protection and goggles.

Show me how you shoot.

Show me how you shoot.

Master,

this is not bad for a beginner, right?

You're only fooling yourself.

Then show me how you do it.

You can say it's not bad...

when you achieve this level of shooting skill.

What are you doing here?

You're my mentor...

so I have to learn from you.

Whose idea was it?

Ms Zheng made the arrangement just now.

So why didn't she ask Zi Xuan to be your mentor?

I have no idea either.

Let me ask you,

where's Zi Xuan?

I've never seen her...

since you all left this morning,

Me neither.

Are you going to lie before your mentor like this?

I'm not lying.

Li Jun Jie,

Zhou Zi Xuan,

and I,

you should know what our task is, right?

Yes.

All right.

You can leave.

I'm telling you to leave.

You're no longer my disciple from now on.

Leave.

She went to Rao.

I don't want to cause trouble.

You yourself are trouble.

Are you all right?

Why did you hit people?

He's hitting people!

What's going on?

He's hitting people!

It wasn't me. He's the one who hit him.

Take him away.

Come on.

Come on.

Go inside!
