"The Dance of the Storm"

"Episode 37"

I've arranged to keep Young Master safe.

I've rented a building near their house.

They'll protect Young Master at night.

Boss,

if Yun Hao...

does something impulsive again,

what should we do?

Come over here and listen to me.

I've just received news.

Commander Chen of the Security Department...

is bringing a guest from the government here...

for an inspection.

We need to be ready.

We can't affect our collaboration due to our carelessness at work.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Okay, get back to work.

Okay.

Mr Ma, this is MOIS.

This way, please.

Ms Zheng, this is...

Save the introduction. We know each other.

We've met before.

Hello, Mr Ma Qi Ming.

Hello.

I didn't see this coming.

I was informed by the higher-ups that someone from the government...

was coming to visit MOIS. I didn't know it was you.

But now I do.

Welcome.

Everyone,

this is Mr Ma Qi Ming's first visit to MOIS.

Let's have Mr Ma say a few words.

This way, please.

A few months back,

I nearly died...

twice.

Our MOIS agents saved me.

The reason I can stand here today...

is all because of you.

Because of each and every single one of you.

I thank MOIS's contribution...

in protecting the city and me.

I get emotional easily.

I think relationships are important.

So I'd like to make Banang the focus of my next investment,

to contribute to the development of the city.

Thank you, everyone.

As thanks to all of you,

Mr Ma has prepared refreshments for everyone.

Enjoy it during the break later.

Please enjoy.

Thank you, Mr Ma.

Well, it's lunchtime now.

Let's accept the kindness.

Set aside your work for now. Go and enjoy the food.

Thank you again.

Mr Ma.

Mr Ma.

Hello, Mr Ma.

Do you still remember me?

You're...

I'm Chen Jing Wen.

I worked in your company before.

I was Mr Li's assistant.

Hello.

Why are you in MOIS?

After Mr Li passed away, many things happened.

But now, I'm working in MOIS.

That's great. Do your best.

We meet again.

Thank you.

Let me introduce to you my superiors.

Come here.

This is my Master, Shi Yun Hao.

Why are you here?

This is where my son works.

Can't I come and have a look?

Master, Mr Ma is your father? Why didn't you tell me?

Well,

let's see if I can name your Master's friends.

Hello, Li Jun Jie.

Yun Hao speaks of you often.

To remain such close friends from childhood till now...

is a rare thing.

Thank you.

You're most welcome.

He's always been talking about you since childhood.

I was wondering.

Why did he stay in the orphanage when he had a father?

It's not easy to raise a son.

Whenever he's not pleased, he'll make life difficult for you.

Your father will know.

I'm an orphan.

I'm still investigating...

my father's death.

Zi Xuan?

Hello.

You must be Mu Chuan's daughter.

I'm sorry for my manners in the hospital.

My friend took the shot for me.

I was in a terrible mood.

Don't say that.

Hello, Commander Chen.

Can you arrange for me to meet Mu Chuan?

After the police were assaulted,

it's tough for anyone to see Mu Chuan.

What if I'm able to persuade Mu Chuan to hand out VX3?

Then I can try.

Okay, rest well.

Captain Shi.

Why do you look upset?

I'm fine.

Is it because of Mr Ma?

Actually, I envy you, Li Jun Jie...

and Captain Zhou.

You've been through thick and thin.

You take care of each other and trust each other.

I wish I had friends like you.

I don't have many friends.

I'm not good at socialising either.

So everyone thinks that I'm an individualist.

After a while,

I'm used to being alone.

What are you trying to say?

I remember someone told me that...

if you want to become someone's friend,

you need to first become like them.

That's how you appreciate and attract each other.

That's why...

I always see you as my role model.

Third Uncle.

I've labelled all the medicine.

Remember to take the medicine.

Okay.

Remember to take the medicine on time.

Okay.

You don't know how to take care of yourself.

Are you feeling better?

Okay.

Why do you suddenly want to see me?

Just go ahead.

Is the controller still with you?

What did you promise me?

What are you trying to do?

Don't worry.

I'm not asking you to give it to me.

Then why are you asking me this question?

I want you to promise me to keep your word.

Don't give the controller to anyone.

Are you ready?

Tell me if you're not able to do this.

No.

I should go and see him.

I've told Zi Xuan and Jun Jie everything.

I'm very disappointed in you.

I thought you're reliable.

Do you know it's dangerous to do that?

It's dangerous if I don't tell them the truth.

Do you want me to be like you?

Don't you think it's ironic?

Do you think so?

Don't you think so?

Actually, I don't.

I'm just using a lie to explain another lie...

and amending a mistake with another mistake.

17 years ago, Zi Xuan's parents and I were working hard for the VX Plan.

They were my best friends.

After that explosion,

Zi Xuan's parents were running away with the VX prototype.

I was ordered to stop them.

I was willing to sacrifice everything to achieve what I wanted.

Mu Chuan?

Listen to my explanation.

Something is wrong with VX Plan.

Let's stop it.

Stop explaining.

Give me the VX prototype.

No, I can't.

We're friends.

As long as you give me the VX prototype,

I'll let you go.

Think about your daughter.

Hold it right there!

We have the order!

No one can leave here!

Shut up!

I'll bear the consequences.

No way!

What do you mean by that?

I'll bring Zhou Zhi Ping and his wife to attend an important meeting.

-Ms Shi. -Let's go. It's fine.

Madam Ma, we have the order.

No one is allowed to leave.

Who gave you the order?

Ask him to call me!

Madam Ma took Zhou Zhi Ping and his wife away.

Zhi Ping!

I knew I was wrong at the moment.

I shouldn't have let Zi Xuan's parents and your mother leave.

When I arrived at the accident scene,

your mother was severely injured.

Zhi Ping!

Zhi Ping!

Zhi Ping!

Zhi Ping!

It'll be okay.

It'll be okay.

Promise me one thing.

Tell me.

Help me to take care of Zi Xuan.

Take good care of her.

I'm sorry, Zhi Ping.

Take good care of...

Don't worry.

Zhi Ping.

Zhi Ping!

Zhi Ping.

At that moment, I wondered...

if my career is worth it.

Zhi Ping, I'm sorry.

I decided to leave Scorpio.

I saw Zi Xuan sitting at the school entrance,

waiting for her parents.

I blamed myself. I regretted it. I pitied her.

I had all the complicated emotions...

mixed up in my heart.

From then on,

Zi Xuan became everything in my life.

I swore that...

I live only for her.

Zi Xuan.

Let me bring you home, okay?

They have something on.

So they went out.

Come on.

As long as you expose them, we can defeat them.

We can destroy Scorpio...

and avenge the deceased.

Scorpio is no longer around.

You never really wanted to help us.

My journey is going to end soon,

but you...

have just started it.

You need to find out the truth by yourself.

Don't tell Jun Jie and Zi Xuan.

You asked me to buy you this cake.

You must have been through all the security for bringing the cake here.

It's not easy at all.

The Security Department asked a lot of questions.

They even sent it to the laboratory to check the ingredients.

They are just doing their jobs.

Why didn't you ask them to buy it?

It's delicious.

Don't you worry about your blood sugar level?

We need to indulge ourselves once in a while.

Eat some with me.

I have no appetite.

Zi Xuan.

You're too tensed up. Relax.

How do you want me to relax?

Do you think I'm joking with you?

Or you think we're having a party here?

We're in the hospital,

but you're guarded by the police.

You're still a criminal.

Moreover, you never worked with the police.

Ever since you're arrested,

you haven't revealed a single member of Scorpio.

Not even a useful clue.

What else do you want me to do?

Are you done?

No!

Go ahead.

I don't want to talk anymore.

Zi Xuan.

You've always...

been very calm.

You were so agitated just now.

I'm a little scared.

I know.

I've let you down...

with what I have done.

I know.

I do.

He knew that Ma Qi Ming came to MOIS.

I thought...

Ma Qi Ming came to MOIS to demonstrate,

but when he came the other day,

it proves that even if we know something,

we can't do anything to him.

I'm thinking the same.

Do you know what Mu Chuan told me?

If you really love Zi Xuan,

take her away from this place.

Go to Chonghai.

Go to Europe.

Anywhere in the world.

Why?

Don't ask me why.

You'll surely regret it if you don't do it.

Actually, he told me those things...

to protect Zi Xuan.

He asked me not to give the controller to anyone.

Ask Li Jun Jie to bring you to Chonghai.

Go to Europe.

Go to a place where you'll be happy.

What about you?

Just waste your time here?

Is it worth it?

My life is wasted.

I don't want you to do the same.

Open up the gift.

I'm giving the photo back...

to you.

You told me that...

I don't deserve it.

What a shame.

That's the most beautiful memory of my life.

No matter what,

I regard you as my daughter.

Third Uncle, promise me.

Tell me the truth.

We can still make it.

Third Uncle, just promise me.

Just like when I was young,

you'd listen to me in everything.

You love me so much.

You'd side with me in everything.

Promise me, will you?

I've opened up...

my closed heart to you.

You loved me quietly.

Your compassion and tenderness...

soothe...

They soothe my ruthlessness...

and the pain of my loneliness.

My heart never stopped...

missing you.

You're like the candlelight in the sky,

shining bright for me.

When you embrace me,

I'm happy...

as always.

Third Uncle.

Third Uncle.

Third Uncle!

Third Uncle!

Third Uncle!

-I'll get the doctor. -Third Uncle!

Third Uncle!

Third Uncle!

Third Uncle!

-Hello. -Ms Zheng.

Speaking.

Mu Chuan was drugged in the hospital.

How's Mu Chuan now?

He's dead.

Got it.

There's news from the hospital.

Mu Chuan is dead.

Finish the coffee and go home.

I'll take care of the rest.

Captain Zhou Zi Xuan, please come with me for the investigation.

Hold on!

Captain Zhou, my condolences.

Today, the Banang police suspected...

Mu Chuan ate the cake that you brought before he died of being poisoned.

So, please come with me for the investigation.

Please assist us.

You know her relationship with Mu Chuan.

How would she kill Mu Chuan?

Don't get frustrated.

Don't worry.

MOIS will stand with you.

What's the point in standing with her?

Tell me. What's the point?

Jun Jie.

We'll go with you.

Don't worry as long as you're not guilty.

This way, please.

I'll go with her.

Forget it.

I'll come back soon.

You've been working for MOIS.

I'll skip the rules.

Let's get straight to the point.

When you met him,

did Mu Chuan eat something?

He only ate that cake.

Why did you buy the cake for him?

I've given the Security Department an explanation.

Mu Chuan asked me to buy the cake in the shop that he frequents.

He said he wanted to eat something sweet...

before going back to the prison.

Before I visited him,

the cake was checked.

I read the report.

It's just sampling.

If there was some drug underneath the cake,

they wouldn't be able to find out.

So, do you think that I drugged Mu Chuan and killed him?

What's your relationship with Mu Chuan?

He's my superior in Banang MOIS.

He's also my adoptive father.

Although he didn't adopt me officially,

I was raised by him.

But I heard that...

you're not on a good term with him.

Actually, I've always treated him...

as my own father.

After I found out that he betrayed MOIS,

we started to have conflicts.

Did you magnify the conflict?

Interrogating me here...

is just a waste of time.

Someone else killed Mu Chuan.

I hope you understand...

this is the procedure.

Jing Wen.

Li Jun Jie.

Can you help me to hack into the monitoring system of a hospital?

I think so.

Copy all the CCTV footage...

for the police investigation.

Wait.

How's Zi Xuan?

She's helping with the investigation in the Security Department.

What?

Hello.

Okay.

What's wrong?

I need to go to the police station.

Mr Shi,

how did Mu Chuan die?

I only know that he was drugged.

Who drugged him?

I'm not sure.

Do you have the motive to kill Mu Chuan?

Inspector Wu,

you watched the CCTV footage.

We had no body contact.

When you met Mu Chuan, what did you talk about?

We talked about a lot of things.

What we talked about is in the testimony.

I've told you everything.

That's it?

That's it.

You drove her to buy the cake.

Yes.

Is there a problem?

We've checked the cake.

It's fine.

But Zhou Zi Xuan...

was the person who met Mu Chuan.

He passed away then.

She's the most likely suspect now.

What do you think about this?

Listen.

I've known Zi Xuan for many years.

Mu Chuan is the same.

I know their relationship well.

They're closer than father and daughter.

But if you suspect Zi Xuan to have killed Mu Chuan,

I'm telling you that...

it's impossible.

The police are still investigating.

So Captain Zhou can't leave yet.

Zi Xuan.

You must've suffered.

We are all trying to figure it out.

Li Jun Jie and Shi Yun Hao...

are assisting in the investigation.

We all hope to clear your name as soon as possible.

Well, there's another way.

We can hire a lawyer for the case.

We can bail you out first.

No need.

The internal investigation will be done soon.

I know...

Mu Chuan's death has a great impact on you.

Are you suspecting me?

No way.

It's Mu Chuan's memorial service two days later.

I know you'd like to attend.

I'll get it arranged.

Thank you.

Don't say that.

You're welcome.

I got the CCTV footage of you and my Master visiting Mu Chuan...

and Zi Xuan in the ward,

but nothing was unusual.

Was there a sound?

The CCTV in the hospital can't record sound.

Fast forward.

Master went in before Zi Xuan did,

but he had no body contact with Mu Chuan.

Nor did he pass anything to him.

I think that's why the Security Department...

stopped investigating him.

Fast forward.

Keep going.

Pause. Play this part again.

Play the part where he ate the cake again.

The drug was already in his hand.

Why did he commit suicide?

My condolences.

Amanda will find a way to get you out...

to attend Mu Chuan's memorial service.

This is what he left behind.

There's a letter behind your mother's photo.

He wrote it for you.

Dear Xuan,

I believe that you'll find this letter.

You're detailed.

You wouldn't miss your mother's photo.

As you can see,

I've spent my entire life...

loving your mother and you.

You've brightened up my miserable life.

If things stayed the way they were,

perhaps I could continue to protect...

the light of my life...

and the career that your parents left behind.

Unfortunately,

whether I'm willing or not,

we've come to the end of it.

To cover up my sin,

I'd do anything.

Even if it meant crossing my ethical bottom line.

I didn't manage to protect your parents back then.

Their death was the biggest regret of my life.

I don't expect you to forgive me,

but I hope that...

my death...

can end all this,

and you'll have peace for the rest of your life.

Someone once told me that...

we must become the devil...

in order to defeat evil.

So stop pursuing the person who killed your parents.

For the sake of your future,

I'm willing to become a ghost...

and bear all the sins.

There are many choices in life.

I don't want you to repeat my mistake.

After I'm gone,

those with a motive will approach you...

and make a big deal out of your identity.

I hope you won't be stubborn...

and will stay away from the trouble.

Your life...

is already far away from darkness.

So I can only leave this message behind...

before everything changes.

I believe...

this will be my last word.

Farewell.

From Mu Chuan.
