=Episode 15= (I Think It's Missing A Female Owner)

I can't keep an open mind for something like this.

I can't let go of the obsession in my heart.

I'm sure both Jin Shichuan

and Fang Huai were intended to protect you.

But they ended up hurting you instead.

I don't know how to comfort you.

But I totally understand

the obsession you have for a loved one.

I myself waited ten years

for Jin Shichuan because of an obsession.

I blamed Fang Huai.

I blamed him for being so cruel.

He decided on his own to leave without saying goodbye.

But he's dead.

I'm the one being tortured by regrets.

This is the pain the living one has to go through.

I know Jin Shichuan is a good person.

But I hope you've thought it through.

You need to know

the consequences of marrying a fireman.

I don't want you to grow through what I did.

(Huaigang Kangde Retirement Home)

Alright, Mr. and Mrs. Fang.

No need to see me off.

Shichuan.

Don't forget the promise you made.

Zang Qiu is still young.

She is a filial girl.

Help us persuade her.

We all hope she can set up a new family.

A woman

should be with someone who loves her.

Fang Huai has been gone for so long.

It's time she moved on from the tragedy.

Well.

Why did you suddenly cry?

You said we wouldn't cry, right?

Shichuan, you can go.

We understand the nature of your job.

We are currently living comfortably.

Look.

We attend several classes every day.

Things like calligraphy,

English, and music.

We keep ourselves busy.

You don't have to visit us

if you're busy.

I will visit again.

Okay, be safe on the way back.

Stay safe, Shichuan.

(Huaigang Kangde Retirement Home)

Hey!

Run faster, you hear?

Come, Windchase.

Chuan.

Promise...

Promise me.

(Don't let Zang Qiu)

(see me the way I am right now.)

How long have you been standing here?

I've always been here.

Just turn around.

Then you'll see me.

Where did you go?

I went to see Fang Huai's parents.

Zang Qiu told me

about what happened with Fang Huai.

Are you not going to explain?

There's nothing to explain.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

It may be raining today,

but I will be your sun.

Let the rain pass.

Jin Shichuan.

♪I will be the light to show you the path♪

♪Overcoming the perils that come to pass♪

♪Searching for the traces you left behind♪

♪I will be the light to find a way into your heart♪

♪Fearlessly, I run toward you♪

♪Through the crowds to give you a hug♪

You're drenched.

Change into these.

I'll keep watch outside.

Here.

Done?

Your pants are too big.

They don't fit.

Sorry.

Your hair is still wet.

Dry it yourself.

I'll be outside.

I know you have a lot of wounds

left in your heart that need healing.

Will you let me stay by your side?

I wish to be relied on too.

Just like how I rely on you.

I'll dry your clothes for you.

Doctor Zang.

Doctor Zang.

You're finally off work.

Didn't you say

you won't look for me again?

Guess you're shameless.

I... I know.

Know what?

Cap... Captain Jin

told me about Fang Huai.

So?

Are you thinking you now have a chance

because Fang Huai is gone?

No, I never thought that.

I never even considered myself.

I just

feel bad seeing you this way.

I finally understand

why you reject kindness from others,

not letting people get close to you.

I don't need you to sympathize with me.

All you need to know is,

whether or not Fang Huai is here,

there's no future between us.

Doctor Zang.

I know it's hard to forget the past.

But I came here today

to tell you that you're not alone.

If you're willing to,

I will always be with you.

To protect you.

I don't need you to protect me.

Lu Fangqi.

I'll tell you one last time.

I don't want to see you again.

It's late.

Where were you?

Captain Jin.

I went to see Zang Qiu.

She rejected me again.

She said

not to show up

in front of her again.

Don't give up.

I won't.

I've thought it through.

I will do my best to make her happy.

I wish to see her smile.

She's so beautiful when she smiles.

When she smiles,

it feels like

my whole world is shining.

I'm like the cockroach that won't die.

Captain Jin.

You have to work hard too.

Go after your own happiness.

Okay.

Captain Jin.

Be happy!

Goodnight.

You'll find your happiness too, kid.

Hello?

You called me at this late hour.

(Is something up?)

Nothing much.

Just suddenly thought of calling you.

Are you missing me?

(What are you up to?)

I just turned on the computer

to finalize the work

I did today.

I won't disturb you then.

(You go ahead.)

No, talking on the phone with you

won't interfere with work.

We can talk for a while longer.

Okay.

Why aren't you talking?

Actually I don't know

what to talk about.

I just wanted to hear your voice.

How about this?

Listen to my draft.

This way,

both love relationship and career are unaffected.

(Okay?)

Okay.

I'll enable hands-free.

Last June,

law enforcers of Huaigang

Market Supervision Bureau

found illegal smuggled refined oil

in a refitted truck owned by a Mr. Li.

The Supervision Bureau said

that every department will perform its duties

and strengthen law enforcement

to improve supervision.

As of the end of last year,

local authorities have found...

(Xu Lai, 554:16)

(Jin Shichuan)

Hello, are you still there?

I'm here.

Did you stay awake the whole night?

No.

When you stopped talking last night,

I guessed you fell asleep.

Did you just wake up?

Does that mean we kept the call going

the whole night?

Why are you laughing?

I feel so lucky.

(The person I like)

(not only supports my career,)

(he also stayed up to keep me company.)

Silly girl.

Go and wash up. Get ready to work.

I have to go for morning drills.

Good morning.

Bye-bye.

Yes, who is it?

(Are you Xu Lai?)

(I'm TC's president,)

(Mr. Sun's secretary.)

(Do you have time today?)

(Mr. Sun)

(would like to meet with you.)

Mr. Sun.

Ms. Xu is here.

Come in, Ms. Xu.

Take a seat.

Ms. Xu.

If there's anything,

let's sit down and talk about it.

Zhang.

Get Ms. Xu some tea.

It's okay.

Just get down to business.

I heard that you have been paying

a lot of attention to our company.

That's right.

I'm currently investigating

a traffic accident.

It involves a product from TC,

the mobile refrigerator.

You suspect that the mobile refrigerator

caused the accident?

Not just a suspicion.

It's true that the mobile refrigerator has

major safety issues.

I'm sorry, Ms. Xu.

I have to stop you right there.

Every product our company produces,

including this model of mobile refrigerator,

has undergone strict reviews

before they can be sold.

But according to the victim,

at that time,

the mobile refrigerator had exploded,

starting the fire,

which caused the two vehicles to rear-end.

The couple in the RV,

one died, and the other injured.

That still doesn't prove that the mobile refrigerator

had safety issues.

What if it was due to improper use?

From what I know,

the use environment

needs to meet certain requirements

to maintain voltage stability

while using the X-2.

Mr. Sun.

I only mentioned about a mobile refrigerator.

I didn't specify that it was

the X-2 model that had a problem.

From what you just said,

you clearly had prior information

regarding the issues of this mobile refrigerator.

Ms. Xu.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear

so you misunderstood.

We feel bad that such an incident happened.

I give you my word

that I'd get the people responsible

to look into it.

If the problem did stem from TC,

the victim's medical fees

will be fully borne by TC.

I will also prepare a fee for your hard work.

That sounds like you're trying to shut me up with money.

I don't need any payment.

Reporting the truth

is the duty of us newspeople.

Yes, you have your principles.

I too, have my difficulties.

Look.

TC is a big company.

We have many employees

working to put food in their mouths.

It's not easy.

Could you maybe...

Speaking of not easy,

Wang Dayong had more right to say that.

His wife suffered severe burns

and is currently bedridden in the hospital.

A family is destroyed.

A life was lost.

Do you think you can make up for it with money?

Then, what do you propose?

I think TC

should bear all the medical fees of the victims,

and offer them a public apology.

Also, recall the particular mobile refrigerators

from the market and halt all sales.

That's impossible.

I've told you clearly

that it's not possible.

This product is a bestseller.

It's being produced at a large scale to be sold.

Do you know

how much loss this will cause us at TC?

Besides, the product's supply chain

doesn't involve TC alone.

A public apology and product recall

will affect the survival of many businesses.

It's not something a reporter like you can bear.

Then I guess I'll just have to report the truth.

I'll let the public know what really happened.

Ms. Xu.

I hope you can take a step back

and think about the consequences.

TC has a dedicated team of lawyers

to deal with such disputes.

If you report anything false,

we can sue you for defamation.

Are you sure you want to challenge us?

Mr. Sun.

Are you threatening me?

No.

I'm just stating a fact.

Ever since young,

I've hated being threatened.

Rest assured.

I will get to the bottom of this

and let the truth be known.

Hopefully,

you'll still be able to sit leisurely

like this when it happens.

That reporter doesn't know what she's dealing with.

So she wants to do things the hard way.

If she reports it to the public,

will it affect Yunkai's subsequent funding for us?

What do you think?

This won't do.

I have to go to Yunkai.

I need to know what Huo Yanzong's thinking.

Saves me from overthinking.

Anyway.

I want that reporter to be dealt with.

Also, find a way

to keep the one in the hospital quiet.

Understood.

Sun Lei is here.

He's waiting at the meeting room.

Why is he here?

I guess it's about the additional investment.

Should I send him away?

No need.

I happen to want to talk to him.

Mr. Huo.

Sit.

Alright.

Mr. Sun, you came all the way.

Is something that matters?

Mr. Huo.

It's about the additional investment.

Have you thought about it?

I've told you.

There's no rush. Be patient.

Is there something else on your mind?

I heard a mobile refrigerator you're selling

caused an accident.

And there's casualty?

It's all made up

by that female reporter.

Mr. Huo.

Please don't take it seriously.

I don't know about the female reporter.

All I know is once such a scandal gets verified,

Yunkai will have to re-evaluate

our investment in TC.

You can forget about increasing capital.

Mr. Huo, I assure you.

The other opponent won't be able to make a case

without enough evidence.

What if she finds more evidence in the future?

Don't worry.

I'm a businessman.

I only look at the profit.

The reason I'm asking you this is to take precaution.

If anything does happen,

at least I'd know how to deal with it.

Right?

After all,

we are in the same boat.

Profits are shared.

Yes, Mr. Huo.

I'll be honest with you.

To lower the production costs and maximize profits,

I did recall a batch of old parts

and used them in the production of X-2.

But rest assured.

On this matter,

we made sure to be discreet.

Even the professional bodies

were unable to find evidence.

What more to say the female reporter?

Excuse me. How are you related to Zhao Li?

I am Zhao Li's mother.

Hello.

I'm TC's executive secretary.

This is my business card.

Because of you, my son-in-law is dead.

And my daughter is in this state.

How dare you show up here?

Please don't be upset.

I came to help you resolve the problem.

Resolve the problem?

How do you plan to resolve this problem?

Our boss, Mr. Sun,

would like to compensate you.

To alleviate your burden.

You people are supposed to take responsibility.

It was your mobile refrigerator that caused this.

My family is ruined because of you!

Don't jump to conclusions.

All our products have passed evaluations.

We're only offering you compensation

out of compassion.

The prerequisite being we're on the same page.

You must not damage the company's

image and reputation.

There's no point denying it.

A TV reporter has already interviewed us.

We have proof.

Proof?

Are you sure she has the right proof?

Are you sure she's going to help you?

I'll be frank with you.

That reporter went to visit us too.

She had a nice little chat with Mr. Sun.

You are nobody of significance.

There's no need for her

to invite the wrath of TC, right?

There's one more thing

I'd like to remind you.

Our company has an established legal team

whose task is to deal with such cases.

We've never lost.

Moreover, going to court and hiring lawyers

require a huge sum of money.

Can you afford it?

Maybe you can.

But what about your daughter?

She needs all the money to treat herself.

Get...

Get out!

My business card.

Call me whenever you're ready.

This is the internal data on TC.

And their recent accident reports.

Sun Lei admitted it himself.

Their company did recall old parts

and refit them.

They used them in the production of X-2 mobile refrigerators.

This mean,

he lied from the beginning.

He knew that the product had safety issues,

but he went ahead with production and sales.

(Confidentiality Agreement) He puts lives at risk just for profits.

Inhuman.

I also found the secret factory

where TC conducted recycling of old parts.

Okay.

Now we have concrete evidence of TC's crime.

Thank you. You've been a big help.

No need to be so courteous with me.

I have to remind you though.

Sun Lei is unscrupulous.

If you push him to the edge,

he might do something drastic.

So please be careful.

Don't worry. I will take care.

What? Change hospitals?

Yes.

We'd like to go to another hospital.

Why?

Isn't she recovering well?

Is it because of money?

Ma'am, I've explained to you.

I can pay for it in advance.

It's not about money.

Doctor Zang.

I know you're a good person.

Since we've already decided,

please ask no more.

But you're...

Ma'am.

We're here to help you pack and move.

Who are you?

What's your connection with Zhao Li?

We are her friends.

Right, ma'am?

You cannot enter.

Before I confirm the patient's decision,

I will not let you in.

The patient's decision is to switch hospitals.

So better mind your own business, okay?

I said you can't enter.

Doctor Zang.

Don't harm Doctor Zang.

I'll just go with you.

Don't hurt Doctor Zang.

I'll go with you.

I said I'll go with you, okay?

Doctor Zang.

What are you people doing?

Who are you?

This doesn't concern you.

Get lost.

I'm from the city fire service.

This is the victim of the accident.

I have the right to ask.

We are Ms. Zhao's friends.

Here to help her move.

Friends? How come I've not heard

of friends like you?

I'll have all of you show your identification.

Including the one at the door.

We'll let it go today.

I'll come back tomorrow.

Doctor Zang, I'm sorry.

I didn't know they'd be like this.

Ma'am.

Can you tell me the truth now?

Who are they really?

Why did you want to change hospitals?

Okay.

When are you inviting Yu Shishi

for a meal together?

You've been dating for some time

but I haven't seen her.

She's quite busy.

We'll find time.

Okay.

Next time you're free,

we'll eat together.

Excuse me.

Hello?

She wants to switch hospitals?

Okay, I'll be right there.

I need to go to the hospital. It's urgent.

Do you need help?

I can drive you there.

It's okay.

It's related to TC.

You're not at liberty to help.

Lu Fangqi.

Captain Jin.

What's happened?

That's what happened.

Why are you here?

I called Captain Jin.

When I went to check on Zhao Li,

I was told they wish to change hospitals.

A group of men came trying to take her away.

Men from TC?

Her mother said

people from TC had approached her.

Looks like Sun Lei's trying to shut them up.

They also said

they'd be back tomorrow.

Her mother already

seems to be wavering.

So I quickly contacted you.

Can I go talk to them?

Go ahead.

I'll go too.

Come in.

Ma'am.

I heard someone from TC

came to find you.

Are you not going to sue TC anymore?

Yes.

We won't take them to court.

Don't you want justice

for your loss?

Justice is only for those

who can afford it.

People like us,

with no money,

we're lucky to just be alive.

What do we have to fight

with a big corporation like TC?

I can help you.

I've found the evidence.

We can take TC down.

What if one day

you decide not to help us?

You're not related to us in any way.

Why should I believe you?

Why would you help us anyway?

I...

Ma'am.

Please believe in Xu Lai.

She is a reporter with a sense

of duty and justice.

In order to find evidence,

she's gone to the fire station many times

to find out more about the problematic refrigerators.

She stayed up late to collate data.

All because she wants to let the truth be known.

She sincerely wants to help you.

And you are?

I am the captain of Huaigang

Fire and Disaster Relief First Brigade, Jin Shichuan.

When the accident happened,

I was on site carrying out rescue efforts.

Thank you.

Thank you.

No need to thank me.

Thank you for saving my daughter.

No need.

This is our duty.

You saved my daughter's life.

Ma'am.

You have my word.

Xu Lai will not abandon you.

I hope you can be like her and persevere.

Don't give up so easily.

It's not that I want to give up.

But if we do go to court,

it will take a lot out of my daughter

in her current state.

Ma'am.

Physical wounds can heal.

But what about mental trauma?

If you guys give up,

then who's going to seek justice

for the late Wang Dayong?

Can I really trust you?

Of course.

I won't back down.

We will stand firmly with you.

Me too, and my teammates.

We will testify for Ms. Zhao.

We'll do our best to help you.

Dear, what do you say?

How did it go?

They finally agreed not to change hospitals.

That's good.

Their doubts were dispelled

thanks to Jin Shichuan's help.

Next time,

if troublemakers come to the hospital,

get in touch with me. I'll sort it out.

I will too.

I'll be off.

Hey.

Doctor Zang.

Doctor Zang.

Stop following me.

Mental trauma needs time to heal.

Don't worry.

We're here.

After getting you home,

I have to go back to the station.

You take care.

See you.

Give me a hug.

Go back. It's windy.

- Bye-bye. - Bye.

(Shut up)

I went to check the surveillance

at the building management.

I found that all the cameras on this block

were tampered with.

Looks like they planned this beforehand.

Anyway,

did you lose anything?

I checked.

I think a hard drive is missing.

What's in the hard drive?

Something important?

It's just materials from work.

This doesn't seem like a normal break-in.

Did you guys piss anyone off recently?

I don't think so.

Sun Lei.

It must be Sun Lei.

Sun Lei.

Listen.

It's better not to stay here tonight.

We have to obtain more evidence.

Find a time in the next few days

to come to the police station

for a detailed testimony.

That's all for now.

Okay?

Okay, thanks.

Let's step outside.

Don't be scared. I'm here.

I'll go pack some stuff

and find lodging elsewhere.

Don't stay outside today.

I'm worried about you.

Stay at my place tonight.

Your place?

How long haven't you been back?

I'm usually staying at the station.

So the house is vacant most of the time.

What a waste of good space.

I worry that if I stay at the station during breaks,

the others would feel self-conscious.

So I prefer to stay by myself.

I think your house feels quite deserted.

It's missing one thing.

Missing what?

Missing a female owner like me.

Do you know what just happened?

Now's not the time to joke.

Just trying to alleviate the atmosphere.

I couldn't possibly say I'm nervous.

Alright.

I've informed the building management.

They will send patrol to check often.

It's safe here. Don't worry.

These are my slippers.

I hope you don't mind.

I'm going back to the team.

See you tomorrow.

Hey.

Can you stay and keep me company?

I'll feel more assured with you here.

Well.

There's only one bed.

You can sleep in the bedroom.

I'll sleep in the living room.

Is that really okay?

I'm the guest. You shouldn't have to sleep on the floor.

It's okay.

When the rescue team is dispatched to disaster zones,

we often sleep on the floor.

We don't even have blankets sometimes.

I'm used to it.

But...

Do you know where the bedroom is?

I'll show you.

Here.

The room on the left.

Well.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Sleep early.

(Firefighter, Serve the People)

(Squad Leader)

Jin Shichuan.

Are you asleep?

Jin Shichuan.

Are you asleep?

Not yet.

What's the matter?

I was actually quite scared just now.

I was still reeling from the shock.

And then the lights in the corridor suddenly went out.

A person tends to imagine all sorts

of scary things when they're enveloped in darkness.

But thankfully you showed up.
