[Episode 5]

[People's Court of Gaoxin District]

Your Honor.

I have a report

about Li Ziqiang.

This report shows

Li Ziqiang's injury is self-harm.

This is Probe & Investigation.

I'm Mu Shiming.

[News Probe & Investigation]

[2021.09.24 Exclusive: The case of Fei's Company's forced demolition by attacking revealed]

The case of Fei's Company's forced demolition by attacking

has been revealed.

When Li Zili was in charge of the project,

he was fired for cutting corners.

So he held a grudge.

He and his brother Li Ziqiang

used dirty means to blackmail Fei Meng.

I have

Li Ziqiang's brother,

Li Zili's recording.

Next is an exclusive video

from iNEWS.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I have to take a risk.

I'm helping my brother.

What's wrong with these people?

They will do everything for money.

Please come in.

So Li Ziqiang

is a scammer.

He used netizens' sympathy.

Shame on him.

The brothers are this kind of person.

He really did it

for money.

The two of them colluded it.

Forget it. Let's see it later.

The iNEWS has over 100 million views.

It has been on the trend for two hours.

Chen Jialan did a great job

for this exclusive news.

Congratulations, Jialan.

Congratulations, Jialan.

Congratulations, Jialan.

Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Wen. Thank you, Mr. Mu.

Thank you all.

Keep going.

Keep going. Keep going.

Thank you for your help, Mr. Mu.

Thank you.

Mr. Mu, here's to you.

I don't drink.

Sorry, I didn't know.

Let's drink water instead of wine.

It's okay. I can drink a little.

Okay.

Mr. Mu.

Thank you.

We are comrades in the same trench.

You don't have to so polite.

We are journalists.

To put it nicely, we are uncrowned winners,

but actually we are just soldiers

fighting in one battle after another.

If I didn't see it with my own eyes,

I wouldn't believe

the Li brothers are such terrible people.

I'm too naive.

Jialan.

As journalists,

we shouldn't focus on our subjective feelings too much.

It may affect our judgment.

I think I've heard that before.

Journalists are supposed to tell the truth, not the feelings.

Try to be professional.

Mr. Mu,

may I ask you a question?

It's not about work. Please don't mind it.

Go ahead.

You and He Zhengyu

have known each other for years.

Every time you meet,

there is all the tension around.

Why is that?

Nothing.

We're not on the same boat.

By the way,

are you close to him?

No.

But when you were talking,

your eyes turned left unconsciously.

It means you have a history with him.

Then you pressed your lips subconsciously.

It means that the history makes you uncomfortable.

Of course,

This is just my guess.

We do know each other.

I just think he is not a nice person.

There is something

between us.

As a professor of law,

my father thought that I should be a lawyer

after my graduation.

But I'm not talented

nor interested.

He Zhengyu is different.

He always wants to be a top lawyer

and he is talented.

So in my father's eyes,

He Zhengyu seems to be his son.

I'm just

an unfilial son.

Mr. Mu.

This is wine.

I didn't notice.

Mr. Mu.

This...

Hey, what's going on?

You got him drunk so quickly.

I didn't.

He drank it himself.

Take him home.

I don't know where he lives.

Then take him to your place.

My place?

Is that okay?

Then what about my place?

Be careful.

Mr. Mu, you're awake.

Where am I?

This is my apartment.

You were drunk.

I have no place to send you, so I took you here.

Sorry.

I don't usually drink.

Sorry for the trouble.

It's okay.

What time is it?

It's 10:02.

10:02.

What's wrong?

Mr. Mu.

I suddenly remember

I haven't written

the report about Li Ziqiang's case.

I... I need to do it.

You must be busy too, right?

Yes.

That's great.

Let me send you to the door.

I know.

You can't stand up.

Let me help you up.

Jialan.

I know.

Your bag is on this chair.

Jialan.

I'm not in such a hurry.

Mr. Mu, it's already ten o'clock.

The taxi fee is getting higher.

Take care of yourself.

Okay, you too.

Okay.

Bye, Mr. Mu.

Bye.

That was close.

Mr. Mu, what's wrong?

I forgot my phone.

Your phone?

Where is it?

It should be on the sofa.

The sofa?

Why is he here?

Jialan.

When did you prepare these?

When you were asleep.

Do you have a date later?

No.

How is that possible?

I mean, it's late.

You didn't have dinner.

I'm afraid you'll be hungry after drinking.

I'm a little hungry.

I'll have some.

Thank you.

Jialan.

I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking.

Good at cooking?

She is good at enticing.

It's nothing.

Just some simple dishes.

Make them for me.

Eat.

Okay.

Jialan, thank you.

You didn't have to push me out

to prepare these just now.

Surprise?

How did you know I would come back?

You...

What's wrong, Jialan?

I...

Mr. Mu, I...

Jialan.

What's wrong?

Mr. Mu.

I found your phone.

Thank you.

Jialan.

You look like a kid after drinking.

A little crazy?

You are cute.

Did you hear the flushing?

Mr. Mu.

The apartment I rent is very shabby.

The soundproofing is very poor.

You can hear the flushing from upstairs.

The old lady downstairs

came to me several times.

How dare she challenge me by knocking the wall?

I'll knock back.

Mr. Mu.

Enjoy your meal.

Wait for me.

Can you stop making trouble?

What if Mr. Mu finds you?

-So what? -Keep your voice down.

I'm not an illegal immigrant

and I'm not a fugitive.

So what he finds out?

What if the time-space overlap is exposed?

No one will know it if we keep our mouths shut.

Given his current condition,

he wouldn't know.

But...

But...

You're afraid that Mu Shiming would misunderstand that

we're living together, right?

Yes.

No.

We're just roommates.

I don't want to get involved.

You like Mu Shiming.

What are you talking about?

I only see Mr. Mu as my teacher.

If that's the case,

you brought your drunk teacher

in the middle of the night?

You're petty.

From now on,

you stay here.

If you make any sound,

don't blame me for being rude.

Alright.

All done. She won't make any more trouble.

You look cute when you're angry.

Really?

I've been practicing martial arts since I was a kid.

So I have a bad temper.

I think girls should be like you.

That's more vigorous.

I don't like

girls who are delicate.

But being too vigorous makes me

sleepy at night.

I'll leave.

I'll order a taxi.

Okay.

The battery is dead.

I have a power bank.

Let me get it for you.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Let me take a look.

I'm fine.

The circuit tripped.

The circuit is aging.

It's always like this.

Let me take a look.

Let me help you.

No.

I can do it by myself.

Mr. Mu, wait a moment.

I'll go check it.

He Zhengyu.

What do you want?

I'm sleepy.

I turned off the light and I'm going to sleep.

You can turn off the lights in your room.

Why did you turn off all the lights?

I don't want to see

people flirting in my house.

Flirting?

Tell me.

What do you want?

Promise me one thing.

What is it?

Ask Jirong from your world

to my house.

Since she's your friend,

can't you ask her over in your world?

No.

That's why I'm asking you for help.

No?

I'll go out if you won't help.

How dare you!

Help me ask Jirong over.

Impossible.

Jialan, how is it?

Do you need my help?

I'm fine, Mr. Mu.

It's fixed.

Look.

Charge your phone first.

I'll be right there.

You don't want to help me?

I'll help you.

If she is really your friend,

you should know

Wu Jirong and Jiang Shenghao are engaged.

I know they are engaged,

so I asked you to ask Jirong over.

What?

You feel worried?

Are you going to make a move on Jirong?

Make a move?

If I wanted to,

I would have pursued her long ago.

Why bother to make a move now?

Because she's engaged,

you know you have no chance.

That's why you do it.

Chen Jialan.

You shouldn't be a journalist.

You should be a writer.

Even if I ask her to come,

what if she finds out the overlap?

How do you explain it?

It's simple.

The time-space overlap will start after Jirong comes.

Then I come as a guest

and meet Jirong by chance.

What about after the overlap?

She will find it anyway.

Send her away

ten seconds before

the time-space overlap ends.

She won't find out.

That's a good plan.

I won't help you.

You agree?

Yes.

I'm warning you.

Don't make any sound.

Mr. Mu.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Jialan.

I think you feel unease

having someone at your home.

Yes.

I'm used to live alone.

My phone lost

service here.

I'll order a taxi outside.

The signal here is poor.

There will be signal outside.

Here.

Jialan, thank you for today.

You're welcome. We're colleagues.

We'll be drinking buddies.

Okay.

Welcome to drink here often, Mr. Mu.

Really?

Okay.

Bye, Mr. Mu.

Bye.

Welcome to drink here often, Mr. Mu.

He Zhengyu.

What's wrong with you?

What a waste.

Are you journalists

very poor?

You can't appreciate this top-class steak?

I won't ask Jirong over for you.

Don't even think about it.

You must keep your word.

You just promised me.

And now you broke your promise.

I'm a person of integrity.

But when I was threatened,

it didn't count.

Please.

I made all these dishes

for you.

That's why you did it.

You are really

prepared.

Let me tell you.

No way.

The first move,

give her what she likes.

What does she like?

She likes to eat all kinds of junk food.

Buy them.

Buy as many as you can.

It's okay. Here's the second move.

Humor.

Girls like humorous men.

The first move didn't work.

Try the second move.

Chen Jialan,

let me tell you a joke.

What do you call someone

with no body and no nose?

Do you know it?

The answer is

"nobody knows".

Because

he has no body and no nose.

No.

You're not me.

How can you do this?

What are you good at?

What do you think?

Don't worry.

There's a third move.

The simplest and the most difficult one.

Talk to her.

Open your heart and talk to her.

Tell her

the darkest

secrets

in your heart.

You will get closer

to each other soon.

Let me tell you one more thing.

Something embarrassing.

I'm very afraid of ghosts,

especially female ghosts.

One night, there was a female ghost...

Do you know that's my cup...

[The year of 2022]

Brother.

When are you going to do what you promised me?

It's been a month.

Don't worry.

I promised you

and I will do it.

When you feel better,

I'll do it right away.

Be good.

Take the medicine first.

No.

Fine.

Watch the TV.

Relax.

No.

Fine.

Brother.

Leave me alone for a while.

Please.

Okay.

I'm at the door.

Call me if you need anything.

He won't let you in?

Wu Anwen is too cautious.

You are close to Jirong.

You won't do anything to her.

Maybe he followed the doctor's order.

What else can we do?

I left a note to Jirong

and asked the nurse who took care of her to give it to her.

If this method doesn't work,

we can only find

the Jirong four months ago.

How about the suggestions I gave you last time?

Did they work to deal with Chen Jialan?

How dare you mention it?

What's wrong?

Jialan, you are back.

Chen Jialan.

Have you heard it?

Li Ziqiang and those relocation households

went to the Fei's Company to protest.

Li Ziqiang is going to sue the Fei's Company.

The relocation households in that area want to sue them.

Then I'll go.

Forget it.

Li Ziqiang just lost the lawsuit.

The public opinion on the Internet is supporting the Fei's Company.

He can't make any noises.

That's right.

So many media know about this.

Everyone knows that the news is pointless.

I'd better go.

Let's go. I'll get the car.

Okay.

What are you doing?

I was wrong last time.

But the law has already punished me.

Mr. Li, you misunderstood.

Mr. Li,

we're here for the demolition.

We just came from Fei's Company.

It's full of protesters there.

Would you like to tell us in detail?

The Fei's Company

wanted to demolish our place long ago.

Those people came to me

and forced me to sign the demolition agreement.

But the compensation

is not even half of

what we agreed before.

If I don't sign it,

they hit me.

I was injured.

My wife is seriously ill.

She needs the money for the surgery.

I put all my hope

on the compensation.

Mr. Li,

you said you were injured before.

Yes.

So your brother took the chance to persuade you

to hurt yourself

and extort money?

Didn't you promise not to mention it?

I was wrong

on that matter.

I really regret it now.

Because of me,

everyone thinks

the relocation household is not worthy of sympathy.

I brought trouble to the neighbors.

Mr. Li,

are you going to stand up

and sue the Fei's Company?

It's too hard to maintain the legal rights.

They said

if we sue them,

they'll hire Mr. He to defend.

Mr. He is amazing.

He has never lost a lawsuit.

We can't win.

Here.

Thank you. I'm not hungry.

I bought it for you. Eat it.

Thank you.

Don't thank me.

Thank the company.

The company will reimburse it.

Jialan, let me tell you.

I've been in the company for almost ten years.

You're the most hardworking journalist

I've ever seen.

I just became a journalist.

I want to learn more.

You can learn more.

But remember, as a girl,

when you are in danger,

you must learn to protect yourself.

Alright, get in the car.

My wife is waiting for me at home.

Thank you.

He Zhengyu, come out!

Did you drink?

Come here.

Don't come over.

We can talk. No violence.

Don't pass

negative emotions to others.

You are such a cold-blooded and heartless person.

What do you mean?

Did you take the Fei's demolition case?

Yes.

The agency fee is as much as your salary for years.

Don't be jealous.

Do you only care about money?

I earn it legally.

Don't you work for money?

Do you work for love?

You can talk.

But I know who you really are.

It's too early.

This is who I really am.

Why did you hit me again?

Why can't I hit you?

You are immoral,

greedy and evil.

Chen Jialan, let me tell you.

I could use more words to describe you.

You can't beat me.

You're unpredictable,

arrogant, domineering and violent.

You are nothing but a loser.

You just got a pretty face.

Shut up!

I told you you can't beat me.

Do you know what I saw today?

The relocation households protested at the Fei's Company

under the sun.

Li Ziqiang's wife is seriously ill

and lying in bed.

The Fei's Company even sent people to their houses to harass them.

And you're bullying them with the Fei's Company.

Who said that?

I'm a lawyer.

A lawyer must maintain the legal rights of the client.

This is the basic quality of a lawyer.

Besides, I'm good at it.

He Zhengyu.

Last time,

you were on the side of justice by luck.

But this time, you won't.

Because I'll keep an eye on you.

I'll make you lose badly.

Ms. Chen,

let's make a bet.

What bet?

If I win,

you promise me to ask Jirong over for me.

You never give up.

What if you lose?

I won't lose.

If you lose,

you need to disappear from this house.

Chen Jialan.

Come out and have a drink.

Not interested.

Let's drink together.

What is it?

The money for breaking your cup last time.

Twenty?

What? Too much?

You need to add a zero after 20.

You evil lawyers

could really waste your money.

Give me the receipt.

Otherwise, how would I know it's worth 200 yuan?

I bought the cup long time ago.

How can I find the receipt?

How about this? Treat me to noodles.

Then let's call it even.

Dear media friends,

[2021.09.26]

[2:06 p.m. Fei's Company]

we have a press conference today

to make an announcement

to everyone.

[Fei's Company]

As the legal advisor of the Fei's Company,

through the authorization of the board,

I've conducted self-investigation on the company.

We found the demolition company hired by the Fei's Company

violated major regulations

during the demolition process.

On behalf of the Fei's Company,

I'm formally taking legal actions against the demolition company.

Why are you so happy today?

Am I?

Yes.

The angrier you are, the calmer you are.

When you are happy, you are always relaxed.

I bet with Chen Jialan

and I won.

What bet?

It has something to do with Jirong.

By the way,

how's going

with Jiang Shenghao and Chen Kexin?

Jiang Shenghao

is drinking all day.

And he went to Wu Anwen

to ask to see Jirong.

Poor man.

Anyway, Wu Anwen

is really nice to his sister.

He's very protective.

Jirong's brother has always taken good care of her.

What about Chen Kexin?

Still no news.

He Zhengyu,

your skill point is not enough.

I'm saving it up.

Wait.

Mr. Mu.

What did you get?

Thank you for the demolition case.

I bought some coffee for you.

Mr. Mu, thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Mu.

Jialan, I bought you a glass of juice

to take some vitamin C.

Thank you, Mr. Mu.

Jialan.

Jialan.

What are you doing?

Take some vitamin C.

Thank you.

Keep it for me for several days.

It's mine.

But I didn't expect

the demolition case

is on the trend again.

Everyone didn't expect

He Zhengyu

has indirectly defended the rights for the relocation households.

I even made a bet on this.

And I lost the bet.

Piaopiao,

Let me ask you a question.

I have a male friend.

He asked me to ask my best friend's fiancee

to clear up some misunderstandings.

Do you think I should help him or not?

It sounds complicated.

Let me get it straight.

Your boyfriend.

No.

A male friend.

Your male friend asked you

to ask another male friend's

girlfriend to meet.

It sounds a bit complicated.

But that's it.

Now you're worried that

it will cause trouble?

What misunderstanding?

He didn't say it.

But he said they were just friends.

There is nothing between them.

But I'm still worried.

What kind of person

are your friend?

He's calm, proud and arrogant.

How long has he known

your best friend's fiancée?

More than ten years.

You are thinking too much.

They are just friends.

Why?

Think about it.

A proud and arrogant man

doesn't need you to

help him chasing a girl.

A proud and arrogant man

won't step in

when the girl is getting married.

His pride won't allow it.

You got a point.

Thank you, Piaopiao.

It's 5:30.

Time to off the work.

I'm leaving.

Okay.

Jialan.

I have a date.

I'm leaving.

Bye.

Okay, then I'll admit defeat.

He Zhengyu,

I'll grant your wish this time.

Jialan.

I have to leave early today.

Please help me

with this article.

Work harder to improve faster.

Mr. Mu.

What's wrong?

I have a stomachache.

Let's go to the hospital.

I'm fine.

I just need some medicine.

Where is your medicine? I'll get it for you.

Tell me.

I run out of medicine.

Let me call someone to deliver it.

No.

There's a traffic jam now.

It'll be faster if I go.

How about this?

Send me the name of the medicine.

I'm going.

It's open.

It's coming.

So close.

It was so close.

I almost made it.

He Zhengyu.

He Zhengyu.

Can you hear me?

♫A dream within reach♫

♫Arises because of you♫

♫Pass through the huge crowd♫

♫We♫

♫Are like hour hands embracing and talking♫

♫How can I stop flipping?♫

Why are you sitting here?

♫You are the light shining♫

♫And warming my eyes♫

♫At the end of the world♫

♫Hug with you♫

♫You are the light halting♫

♫And staying in my heart♫

♫Spend dust and dawn with you♫

Chen Jialan.

She dare not come back.

♫Say out I miss you♫

♫You will know that♫

Why doesn't she just admit defeat?

And now she is running away?

She doesn't come back so late.

Did something happen to her?

♫A dream within reach♫

He'll say I'm a sore loser.

♫Arises because of you♫

♫Pass through the huge crowd♫

♫We♫

♫Are like hour hands embracing and talking♫

♫How can I stop flipping?♫

What are you doing?

Do you have any common sense?

What if you get electrocuted?

The lamp is too old.

The circuit is a bit loose.

Come and help me.

Leave it.

Ask the handyman

to repair it tomorrow.

I don't want to be alone with you

in this dark house.

Do it.

Chen Jialan.

I just took a shower.

I'm still wet.

What if I get electrocuted?

Don't worry.

Pests will live long.

You'll be fine.

I'll beat you if you keep nagging.

Stop bossing around.

I haven't asked you yet.

What?

Are you a fish?

You have a terrible memory.

What happened yesterday?

Why didn't you come back?

You can't admit defeat?

It's not like that.

I was delayed yesterday.

You are avoiding.

You can avoid it forever.

I'm not.

Mr. Mu had a stomachache yesterday.

I can't leave him alone.

Well.

So this is the reason.

No wonder.

Mr. Mu is much more

important than me.

You're acting weird.

I will ask Jirong over.

That's more like it.

Give it to me.

Move.

The screw is loose.

Just tighten it.

Okay, try it.

Done.

There's another loose one.

Chen Jialan.

I... I got electrocuted.

Help me!

Hurry! Help me!

Help me!

I was kidding.

[Sweet ON]

[Love in Time]

[Exclusively on iQIYI]

[Loaf around]

[What? Can't stop it.]

Okay.

It's like we are plowing here.

[Plowing]

[Plowing faster]

[Attack.]

[Off-guard.]

Okay.

[Scenes in the action.]

[Got me]

Jaw line.

You look good from this angle.

[It's true.]

[Don't.]

No?

Fine.
