Episode 6

[This drama is purely fictional.]

Are you really too idle? You don't like him bothering Mi Lan.

Why don't you just kill him and be done with it?

Why all this fuss?

I'm no match for God. God forbids me from being a human.

Fighting human requires human methods.

Besides, I find

Li Yingliang interesting.

Wait for me in the car.

Mr. Shen. What a rare guest.

Mr. Li. Aren't you going to invite me in?

I'd have it no other way. Mr. Shen, this way, please.

I came prepared this time.

After you go in, I'll kill you if you play any tricks.

Do you need these people if you want to kill me?

Mr. Shen, please.

So this guy is Li Yingliang.

He's nothing.

Mr. Shen, I'm pleasantly surprised that you took the time to come today.

I thought you resented me.

I didn't get a chance to make peace and clear up the misunderstanding.

Making peace or not is between us.

You shouldn't have encouraged Miss Mi to persuade me.

She's young and has trouble moving around.

That's taking advantage of her, isn't it?

Are you here to question me?

Mr. Shen.

It's rare for us to sit here and talk calmly.

I've done something cruel to you. You didn't spare me either.

You're lucky you're not dead. I'm lucky I didn't die.

God has arranged for us to sit here and talk.

I think we should just accept and cherish this opportunity.

You've seen my attitude these days.

I really tried to get close to you, but you didn't give me the chance.

I had no choice but to go to Miss Mi.

I know Miss Mi is important to you.

She saved you. I just wanted Miss Mi to pass you a message for me.

I didn't mean to intimidate or threaten you in any way.

Besides, why should I scare a little girl?

You got it wrong.

It's not that she saved me. I saved her.

Without me, she would have died in the hospital.

You're right. She would have died if you hadn't taken care of her.

And if she hadn't saved you that night,

you could have survived too, right?

Don't get me wrong. I'm just being honest.

I meant no harm.

Mr. Shen. Can you tell me if you...

Why you...

What I'm saying is...

Logically speaking, you should be dead that night.

But how did you come back safe and sound after vanishing for ten days?

You didn't die.

Why?

Do you want to know why?

I swear what you tell me today will be kept strictly confidential.

If I violate this oath,

I will be struck by lightning, have no children,

go to hell, and never be reincarnated.

How could Mr. Li curse himself like this?

Mr. Shen, don't get me wrong. There's no ambush here.

They all obey my orders.

Actually, I'm a monster.

No.

Mr. Shen, can you stop messing with me?

I even swore a solemn oath.

You told me you're a monster. You're too unserious.

I'm really a monster.

Come to my house tonight if you don't believe me.

I'll show you what I am.

I wouldn't dare.

It's a good thing to be cautious.

Better safe than sorry.

But don't worry.

You can get your promotion while I make my money.

If we don't stand in each other's way, I won't hurt you.

But if you can't control your curiosity,

don't blame me for being impulsive.

It doesn't matter who I am.

What matters is whether you can live well.

Mr. Shen, are you here to warn me today?

I'm not that kind.

I never give warnings.

If I warn you, won't you be wary?

I'm not that foolish.

Well... Mr. Shen. Can I treat you to dinner?

It's late. The time is just right.

I don't eat food. I eat people.

Please escort me out.

Don't hold Mr. Li Hostage again.

Shut up. Put the gun down.

What's your name?

My name is Li Guisheng. What's the matter? Come at me if you need anything.

I'll remember you.

Mr... Mr. Shen. I think we need to talk.

Superintendent Chi would love to be your friend. And I would love to...

Shut up!

Mr. Li. Let's not see each other again after today. Otherwise...

I'll eat you up.

Scumbag. How dare he scold you like that?

What's so weird about that?

He can even kill me.

Well... Are we still following him?

Follow him?

Disperse.

What happened to you?

Help me come up with a solution.

Li Yingliang discovered my relationship with her and wants to go after her.

It's inconvenient for her to go out and be seen now.

If she stays at home, I'm afraid Mrs. Mi will continue to abuse her.

I have a good idea.

[Shen Mansion]

No!

I won't do it.

- Don't run. Come back. - Stop following me.

We're not done.

Stop following me.

One last bit. Let me finish.

No.

- Last one. Stop. - Stop.

You're an adult. How can you be afraid of this?

You know, right? You know I'm actually quite old.

It's fine. You look young.

After all, I'm a newspaper tycoon and a Haidong dignitary.

I've been respectable for over a hundred years. How can you make me do such a thing?

Didn't you want a permanent solution?

Look at how good this is.

As humans, let's do it the way humans do it.

You'll look ugly, but it will be good for Miss Mi.

But this is so ugly.

Stop nagging. Or it'll be dawn soon.

- Will you let me draw or not? - No way.

Mr. Shen, is it you?

I knew you would see me.

Did she hit you again?

She drank too much last night, but I dodged her.

So I didn't get any serious injuries.

I promised you that you would have nothing to worry about.

As a result, Li Yingliang came to you because of me.

I don't mind.

He knows no boundaries.

If we keep seeing each other, he'll keep coming to you.

You'll be in danger.

I'll find a way to get your mother to stop bothering you.

You can keep going to choir.

Mr. Shen.

Are you bidding me goodbye?

It's just temporary.

I have to solve some things first if I want you to live a normal life.

But this is normal to me.

It's not normal, Mi Lan.

No one is in danger every day.

And no one gets beaten and scolded by their mother all the time.

I'm not scared.

But I can't allow it.

Mr. Shen.

Why are you wearing a veil? Are you injured?

Yes. I didn't want to scare you.

I can't see.

You're right.

I forgot.

Mr. Shen. You must live well.

Don't let bad guys hurt you again.

I promise you I'll live well.

Take good care of yourself.

Where is your mother's bedroom?

Second floor.

What's the matter?

Nothing. I'll talk to her.

You should go to bed soon. Go.

Hurry.

Shut up.

I'm the Mi family's ancestor.

You wicked wench.

Do you know what you did wrong?

You torture the Mi family's descendant day and night.

I came back to life today just to take your life.

I'm sorry.

Since you're the mother of the Mi family's descendant,

I'll spare your life if you repent.

I'm willing to repent.

If you commit the same offense again,

I'll take you to the Mi family's ancestors to suffer in hell.

I won't do it anymore.

I won't do it. I won't do it anymore. I'll never do it anymore.

- Madam. - Madam.

Madam, how are you?

- Did you have a nightmare, Madam? - Are you all right?

- Go get a glass of water. - I'll get the towel.

Madam.

Are you okay?

Are you okay? Let me see, Madam.

Madam, how are you?

Madam.

Madam, you can't drink any more.

No. I can't sleep without drinking.

Our family is considered lucky.

I heard a few days ago that there's a beast attack that even killed someone.

It was on the news.

I heard it was scary. Just like a monster.

Stop!

Madam Xu. Madam Xu, what do I do? Save me. Help me. I'm scared.

Calm down.

Where are you going?

Madam, don't be scared.

I heard that monsters are afraid of strong men. Let him stand guard at your door.

Madam, I'll protect you.

I'm here, Madam.

Come in.

Newspaper for sale!

Breaking news! Mrs. Mi eloped with someone.

Newspaper for sale!

- Here. - Sir, buy a newspaper.

Give me one.

- Cigarette. - Sir, buy a newspaper.

Give me one.

- Here. - Give me one too.

- Cigarette for sale. - Here.

Ever since Miss Mi got out of Shen Zhiheng's car in tears that day,

she never went out.

Her classmates came looking for her a few times, but she refused to meet them.

She stayed in her attic and wouldn't even go to the courtyard.

Mrs. Mi eloped.

Shen Zhiheng didn't even go to Mi Mansion to visit Mi Lan.

Did I overestimate Mi Lan's place in Shen Zhiheng's heart?

Miss Mi.

I sent someone to inform Mr. Mi. Do you want to move downstairs?

No. I'll stay in the attic.

- Mi Lan. - Dr. Situ.

Why are you standing so high up? Are you not afraid?

Did your mom really leave?

I won't suffer now that she's gone. Did Mr. Shen send you?

Mi Lan, don't worry. Shen will take good care of you.

Take this.

Here, everyone gets one.

This is for you.

- Thank you, Mr. Situ. - Yours.

- Thank you, Mr. Situ. - Yours.

- Thank you, Mr. Situ. - Madam Zhang.

Thank you, Mr. Situ.

Please take good care of Mi Lan.

- Yes. - Yes.

- Don't worry. - Don't worry.

Please tell Mr. Shen that I'm thankful.

Okay.

Shen.

I've been to Mi Mansion. I told them everything.

Thanks.

Are you still messing around with these antiques?

But how long do you plan to look after Mi Lan?

You're not going to repay her forever, are you?

Aren't you afraid that Miss Mi will misunderstand you and fall in love with you?

Nonsense.

Love? I'm old enough to be her great grandfather.

Age is just a number.

- I'm not like you. - How are you different?

Not to mention that someone like me will be harming others by being in a relationship.

If I really love someone, I'll take full responsibility.

Shen.

Have you been romantically hurt in the past? That's why you keep pushing Miss Mi out.

Besides romance, I've had my share of family and friendship.

By the way you put it, I should cut you off sooner to avoid future heartbreak.

No. If you do cut me off, I'll die of sadness.

Don't worry, Shen. If you can fix this clock, I can fix you.

Science is advancing and medicine is developing.

Nothing is impossible.

Do you know what happened in the 970th year of the Chao calendar?

Does that have anything to do with what's wrong with you?

All right. You can go back now.

You're right.

If I cut you off, I'll be sad.

You do have a conscience.

My illness began that year.

How are you going to cure me?

I asked you to investigate Shen Zhiheng. How's the investigation going?

I still haven't come up with an effective method to arrest him.

Why do I think you're incompetent?

Superintendent. You know what I did.

I used both hard and soft tactics. I used all the tricks I could.

But Shen Zhiheng isn't someone that ordinary people can handle.

I'm meeting the Mu family later. I'll ask them for help.

I hope they'll send us someone useful and capable.

You're wise.

Let me go.

What are you doing? Why did you arrest me?

Let me go.

This is Mr. Ji from the flour mill.

He used a small factory to brush us off last week. I locked him up.

Mr. Ji, have you thought it through?

This is illegal imprisonment.

I'm going to report to the police. I want to lodge a complaint.

I want to sue you.

Mr. Ji. Our committee has always been reasonable.

We invited you here because of Oriental Flour Mill on paper.

But you went to a small factory overnight to replace the brand

and pass it off as the genuine one.

Who do you think should report to the police?

You're a robber and bandit. You'll suffer karma.

Didn't I just give you a small factory? What's wrong with that?

Aren't you stealing anyways?

You're right.

I'm a robber and a bandit.

Mr. Li.

- Mr. Li. - Mr. Li.

- Mr. Li. - Mr. Li.

Mr. Li.

Get up. Get up.

Mr. Li, are you okay?

Scumbag. I'll kill you.

Wait.

No, I don't want it anymore. I don't want anything.

No, I don't want it anymore. You can have it all.

No, you can have it all.

Take him away.

- Yes. - Yes.

Go.

Mr. Li.

What did Mr. Ji say?

He called us bandits, robbers and will suffer karma.

No, the one before that.

The one before that?

He wants to file a report and a complaint.

Okay, we got a solution.

[Shen Mansion]

- Hello, who are you? - We're from the police station.

Please come in.

[Shen Mansion]

[Calm Clouds and Clear Winds]

Mr. Shen.

I wonder what you need, Chief.

If I remember correctly, I don't think you're Xia District's chief police.

You have no jurisdiction here.

Mr. Shen, you have a good eye.

I'm Chief Police Lin Dongri from Annan District.

We have an intentional assault case. Please cooperate with us.

Intentional assault?

Yes, intentional assault. We've already alerted Xia District.

We dare not mess around beyond our jurisdiction.

This is the official document from them.

Please forgive us and come with us.

Sir.

[Haidong Annan District Police Station]

[Annan District Police Station Inspector General's Office]

This way.

Please.

Isn't it just a normal questioning?

Are you putting me in jail because of one man's words?

This is our inquiry process.

I know you'll suffer, so I've rearranged it for you.

Look, a sofa. I've done my best.

Sorry.

Mr. Shen, rest first. We'll get ready.

Mr. Li. Will it work?

We've dealt with Shen Zhiheng so many times.

Except for the night of the assassination when he revealed his true identity,

he's newspaper tycoon Shen Zhiheng the rest of the time.

What do you mean? I don't get it.

The newspaper tycoon has his own business, his own employees and his own residence in Haidong.

I don't think he would give up his assets in Haidong so easily.

But he almost killed you.

He had a chance to kill me,

but he only threatened me instead of killing me. What does this mean?

It means he won't kill people.

He doesn't kill people and follows the rules.

So we have a chance.

Mr. Li. Chief Lin called and said Shen Zhiheng is willing to cooperate.

It's cold. Put on a coat.

I have only one request.

Lock Shen Zhiheng up. The longer the better.

Intentional assault isn't a felony.

Even if you have a medical report and witnesses,

I can't handle it if Xia District's Director-General bails him out.

Lock him up as long as you can.

All right.

Mr. Li. We finally got it.

It's not over yet.

What are we supposed to do with him?

The president of Haidong Daily,

Shen Zhiheng, is summoned by Annan District Police Station for intentional assault.

This must be the front page news.

Get some reporters to take photos.

Even if Shen Zhiheng wants to escape, he has to figure out if he can afford to jailbreak.

Got it.

Now is the time to ruin Shen Zhiheng.

Don't you want to question me? Where is he?

Where's Lin Dongri?

Ignore him.

Li Yingliang.

Since you dare to report to the police, why won't you show up?

I'm here. How could I?

We went to a lot of trouble to invite Mr. Shen here.

I know you abide by the law.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to keep you here.

It seems you finally got what you wanted.

Yeah. You don't know that you're all I'm thinking about since we last parted.

I couldn't eat or sleep well these days.

There's a poem.

Even if I become thinner and more haggard, I don't regret it.

It's about you and me.

I didn't just get what I want.

Being able to hold my head high is what I'm currently feeling.

Mr. Li, you don't have to say that. I don't deserve it.

You deserve it.

I'm afraid you'll be cold and hungry.

I prepared four large stoves for you to feel my enthusiasm.

Why aren't you eating?

No matter how much you dislike me, you still have to eat.

Human is iron as if the meal is steel. You'll feel hungry if you don't eat.

You haven't eaten for a day. What should you do if you starve yourself?

Li Yingliang. I'll cooperate this time.

But you have to think carefully about whether you can really put me in prison forever.

If you can't...

The last time he was at Dongya Restaurant, he didn't eat either.

I thought he was afraid I'd poison his food.

Now it seems that he's afraid I'd poison him or he can't eat.

Mr. Li.

Isn't it normal for us to put him in jail for three or four days without food?

No. We must find a way to make him reveal his true form.

If he makes it out alive, I'll die.

Mr. Li, this is the observation record.

Not scared of the cold. Afraid of heat.

Food is served.

Miss Mi, take your time. I need to check the kitchen.

Did you know that Mr. Shen was taken away?

Mr. Shen was taken away?

Yeah. The news has got abroad.

Mr. Shen committed a crime and was taken from Shen Mansion yesterday afternoon.

He still hasn't come out.

What are you talking about?

What did you say happened to Mr. Shen?

Miss Mi. I only heard that he committed a crime and was taken away.

Where was he taken?

I don't know where he was taken.

The police took him away. He's probably at the police station.

Miss Mi.

Miss Mi.

We tried everything.

We did the most unthinkable things, but nothing changed.

Does he have too much self-control,

or he lied about him being a monster?

I don't eat food. I eat people.

Or does he really eat people?

We can't believe that. He said that to scare you.

It's fake.

I have no choice.

I'm doomed if I can't complete Superintendent Chi's order.

If Shen Zhiheng comes out alive, I'm also doomed.

Then... I'll think of a way.

You...

You'll give me trouble if you do this.

Chief Lin. When you accepted my case, we're in this together.

No, you... I...

Don't worry. This is Superintendent Chi's order.

What's the meaning of this?

So you're awake.

I saw that you're not eating or drinking and was worried I mistreated you.

I went back and thought about it. I'm indeed a bad host.

You said you don't eat food and only eat people.

So I went down to the dungeon and picked out a death row prisoner.

Don't worry.

He has no father, no mother, no wife, and no daughter.

You can eat him. No one knows he's dead.
