=Episode 17= (The Safest Place Is With Captain Jin)

Hello.

(Ms. Jiang.)

(Do you still remember me?)

(Why do you know me?)

Do you think it's difficult

to find your identity?

Don't worry.

I'm not interested in you.

(I'm making this call today)

(to make a deal with you.)

What kind of deal can I make with you?

Think about it, Ms. Jiang.

What if I tell the TV station

that you are the one who told me

about Xu Lai's secret visit to my factory?

I'm sure everyone will be interested in it.

Are you threatening me?

How can you say that?

I'll give you the necessary materials

and you just have to report it.

Isn't that simple?

I have a file on my table.

Turn it into a text file

and e-mail it to me.

You are going to move the whole office

into the hospital.

Am I disturbing you from resting?

No.

Actually, you don't have to stay with me every day.

I don't want your job to be affected because of me.

Don't worry. Chief has agreed to let me work at the hospital.

I am working on both my love life and my career.

And I won't fail any of them.

Are you working on the issue of TC?

Yes.

I want to go public

with the truth as soon as possible.

Aren't you afraid that they'll seek revenge on you?

Of course I'm afraid.

But I can't back out now.

Otherwise, it'll be a humiliation to my profession.

What is it?

In the past, I had some misconceptions about reporters.

But you've changed my mind about it.

I realize that there are people in this world

who are willing to be the light

on the path of truth.

To light up the path for those who are in the dark.

I'm not the light.

I'm a torch.

And you are my spark.

Me?

Back then, you lighted up my world with your presence.

I want to be like you too

to bring light to others.

I never thought

that young girl who was so timid in the past

would become so courageous now.

Of course.

Otherwise, how can I attract you

with my charm?

Why are you laughing?

Am I not charming?

Am I charming?

Yes.

Come here.

What else can I do for you?

You need to rest now and take a nap.

Here.

Attention.

Lie down.

Close your eyes.

Good boy.

(Kennel)

Have you noticed

that Peace's situation is getting worse?

He doesn't even eat now.

Peace has bonded with Captain Jin.

I'm sure he misses Captain Jin.

Captain Jin has been in the hospital for some time.

I miss him too.

I feel empty inside.

Have you ever thought

that Captain Jin may not be coming back?

That's impossible.

Captain Jin will not leave the team.

That's not a plausible hypothesis.

I heard that our superior has always wanted

to transfer Captain Jin to the main team.

I think after his sick leave is over,

our superior will give him the transfer order.

Are you telling the truth?

(Kennel) Why should I lie to you?

I personally heard it from the commissioner.

Captain Jin is the backbone

of this emergency response unit.

If Captain Jin leaves,

what should we do?

I've been with Captain Jin the longest.

I know him.

He received a lot of offers to be promoted in the past.

But he rejected them all.

Don't worry.

He won't leave us behind.

I think it's good for him

to be promoted to the main team.

People from his batch

have been promoted faster than him

although they are not as good as him.

But he keeps staying here.

You are right.

No matter what Captain Jin chooses,

we'll support him, right?

How about we pay him a visit

within the next two days?

- Sure. - Sure.

Right?

Is it for Captain Jin

or for that female doctor?

I'm being sincere.

Captain Jin is all I think about, okay?

I think all you think about

is to pursue someone who's out of your league.

What did you say?

Are you mad?

Go over there. I'll go here.

She's out of your league!

She's out of your league!

(Huaigang Medical University Hospital)

Do you need to talk to me?

During the surgery that day,

I found out that the trauma to your left leg

might be more serious than you thought.

I need to run some tests on it.

Have you ever felt numb on your leg?

No.

Have you ever lost feeling in your leg?

No.

My left leg was injured before this.

But it was a minor injury.

It's not painful anymore.

I think it has almost healed. I'll be fine.

Not being able to feel the pain is not necessarily a good thing.

Why didn't you get yourself checked at the hospital?

You were extremely irresponsible to yourself.

Do you know that?

Besides, people in your line of work

are prone to injuries.

You should take this more seriously.

I'll give the fire station your medical certificate.

Do not go anywhere until I have

the test results.

Take good care of yourself

so that you can take care of others, okay?

Thank you.

You don't have to thank me.

(Inpatient Department)

Why are you still here?

It's past visiting hours.

I can't bear to leave you.

What if the nurse saw you?

I sneaked in. No one saw me.

Are you sure you sneaked in?

Are you sure no one saw you?

Yes.

Impossible.

It's true.

Your leg.

That was so scary.

Stop laughing.

The nurse is gone now.

Your heart is beating so fast.

I know.

Get down from the bed.

No.

When Zang Qiu comes here later

and sees you like this,

she won't scold you. She'll scold me.

I want to be with you.

Be good.

Get off the bed.

Xu Lai.

Xu Lai.

Hurry up.

It's going to fall.

What...

At first, I thought that we brought too many things.

Looks like we didn't bring enough things.

Captain Jin is amazing.

He's so badly hurt.

What we need to do now

is not to disturb them. We didn't see anything. Be careful.

Retreat.

Are you here, patient on bed No. 24?

Time to change your wound dressing.

I'll get going now.

Come out. I have to go to work now.

Take care of him.

Captain Jin.

Get well soon.

Have a good rest.

We've brought you some fruits

and supplements.

We...

She was just here to visit me.

If you tell anyone about this,

I'll block you.

Roger that.

We understand. Call us if you need anything.

We'll get going now, Captain Jin.

Let's go.

This news report is fantastic.

Once TC's illegal production chain is exposed,

people will start paying attention to it.

Finally, your effort will not go to waste.

You are amazing.

I can only do this because of someone.

I have to thank him.

You are talking about Captain Jin, right?

By the way,

does anyone else know about this

other than you?

Ms. Jiang Xin knows about it too.

Jiang Xin?

How does she know?

I told you to keep this

a secret from everyone, right?

She mentioned it first.

According to her, you told her about it.

Impossible.

You put a lot of efforts into the TC case, right?

You are the one who has been investigating the TC case, right?

What has it got to do with me?

How do you know that I'm investigating TC?

It's not that hard to find out.

I still have a report to write.

Stop wasting my time here.

Zhou.

We need to be on our guard against Jiang Xin.

She must be the one who tipped off TC

about the investigation in advance.

I'll deal with her after I'm done with this.

Based on my investigation,

TC has an illegal production chain.

After they recycle a lot of old parts,

they do OEM processing on them

and turn them into new mobile refrigerators.

Then, they are sold into the market on a large scale.

All these years,

TC has been using

this way to cut down the production time and cost,

to monopolize our city's home appliance market in a short time.

And they plan to become a listed company this year.

In my opinion, this exposure not only

will give a warning to those who want

take the shortcut to success,

it can also reinstate the business ethics

and set up the right value for all the enterprises.

Xu Lai.

This news report

is marvelous.

Hard evidence and strong arguments.

Well done.

Chief.

We don't have a main topic

for this current issue.

How about we use Xu Lai's report as the main topic?

That's what I'm thinking too.

It's set then.

Xu Lai.

We'll use your report

as the main topic for this issue, okay?

Thank you, Chief.

Xu Lai.

I've read your news report.

It's great.

Congratulations.

(I need to thank you instead.)

If it wasn't for your help,

I wouldn't have been able

to get the result so quickly.

I happen to be in the vicinity of the TV station.

How about we have a meal together?

You can thank me in person.

But I'm on my way to take care of Jin Shichuan.

(And my ride is already here.)

(After Jin Shichuan is discharged,)

(I'll treat you to a fancy meal.)

(What do you think?)

Sure.

(Okay. Bye.)

(Inpatient Department)

(I'll be at the hospital soon.)

(Wait for me.)

Patient on bed No. 24.

Your drip time is up.

Your IV therapy has ended.

Now, you need to rest on the bed.

Don't go anywhere.

I feel like my leg

has almost recovered.

It doesn't feel painful anymore.

You still have to rest even if it's not in pain.

The female reporter who visits you at the hospital

every day is your girlfriend, right?

Yes.

She's quite pretty.

Xu Lai.

Doctor Zang.

You are here.

Now, I can tell you

that Zhao Li has received the compensation.

I just finished transferring her to another hospital.

She can go to the provincial hospital now

to get better treatments.

That's great.

Thank you, Doctor Zang.

She asked me to thank you.

You've helped her a lot this time.

It's just my job.

I'm happy to help.

Jin Shichuan is fortunate to have you.

Are you okay?

I'll go up now.

Okay.

Why are you down here?

Is your leg okay?

I think you are right

about my leg.

Walk slowly.

Where did you go?

Why weren't you in your room?

I just came back from doing some tests.

And I ran into Zang Qiu.

Be careful.

What's the result of your medical test?

I'm making a good recovery.

They have just finished dressing up my wound.

He's doing well.

Really?

Yes.

If you don't believe me, I can show you.

Can you walk?

Of course I can.

Come back now.

Okay.

Even if you have recovered well,

you can't simply move around.

Rest well.

Don't worry.

I'll take good care of him.

Be careful.

By the way,

have you watched the television?

My news report is now the main topic

of our special bulletin.

And TC's illegal production chain

is now a hot topic online.

Sun Lei will face multiple charges as well.

Am I amazing?

Doctor Zang.

Jin Shichuan's medical test report is out.

It's late now.

You should go back and rest.

Do you want to rest now?

It's dark outside.

I'm worried that it'll be unsafe for you outside.

Are you chasing me out?

For me, I'm the safest

when I'm with you.

With you here, you'll protect me.

I can't protect you forever.

What do you mean?

My leg is injured.

If something happens to you,

I can't protect you.

What will you do then?

You are Captain Jin.

Besides, many people are waiting for you.

Don't overthink this.

You have to get well soon.

You have to promise me one thing then.

Don't make me worry.

Go home now.

No.

I want to spend more time with you.

Okay now.

It's time.

What did you promise me?

I want to spend more time with you.

Be good.

Okay.

I'll get going now.

Put on your jacket. It's cold outside.

Okay.

Have a good rest. I'll visit you tomorrow.

Bye.

You really can't simply move around anymore.

The test result is out.

Your knee joint is suffering

from a blunt popliteal injury due to external trauma.

It has turned into a popliteal artery aneurysm.

You need to get under the knife as soon as possible.

When can I undergo the surgery the soonest?

It'll be a difficult surgery.

We are still discussing the best operation plan for you.

I'll do my best to speed things up.

Don't tell Xu Lai about this.

Do you plan to keep it a secret from her?

If the operation is successful,

I'll tell her about it.

I don't want her to worry.

If the operation is unsuccessful,

I won't be able to protect her.

I don't want to be a burden to her.

Okay.

I'll keep this a secret.

Thank you.

I'm only keeping it a secret

because I'm a doctor.

I have to respect

my patient's choice.

It doesn't mean

that I think you are doing the right thing.

Have a good rest.

After the special bulletin was broadcasted,

it has grabbed the attention

of the community.

Many applauded the excellence of this news report.

Not only has it increased

our influence over society,

we have dutifully played our role

in shining a light on society.

TC is facing multiple charges now,

and the victims will receive the compensation

they deserve.

All of you have worked hard.

This news report has finally come to an end.

Chief.

I don't think this is the end.

I received an anonymous e-mail.

There are many voice recordings in the attachments

that are related to this news report.

(I'm a businessman. I only care about profits and gains.)

(I'm asking you these questions)

(just in case.)

(So that I'll know what to do)

(if something happens in the future.)

(After all,)

(we are in the same boat.)

(We share the same gains.)

Mr. Huo.

This voice recording proves

that Huo Yanzong has always known

and was in acquiescence about TC's illegal production.

Now that everything is exposed,

he's in a rush to pull out from TC

to save himself.

Ridiculous.

He didn't take part in TC's illegal production.

Chief.

That time, Huo Yanzong just wanted

to get the information for me.

How can you prove that?

What if Huo Yanzong

was just acting in front of you

to deny his relationship with TC.

Jiang Xin.

Why are you

playing this voice recording at this time?

Chief.

I hope that our station

will uphold our principle of respecting the truth

and expose Huo Yanzong.

Chief.

Please believe in me.

I can vouch for Huo Yanzong.

He's not someone like that.

Xu Lai.

Everyone knows

your relationship with Huo Yanzong.

You know very well whether or not

you are just being selfish for stopping us

from exposing this voice recording.

I heard that other media companies have received

this anonymous e-mail too.

If other media companies

expose this voice recording first,

the public will suspect us

for covering up the truth on purpose,

because we want to collaborate

with Yunkai Group.

And Sun Lei is just the scapegoat.

If it negatively impacts our station,

can you bear the responsibility for it?

That's right.

It won't be good for us.

Jiang Xin is right.

If other media companies

broadcast this voice recording

before us,

our station will be criticized.

We need to stay objective and just.

Jiang Xin.

You'll be in charge of the next news report.

Okay. The meeting is adjourned.

Ms. Xu.

You have always been calm.

But you were too emotional just now.

I can't let my friend suffer this injustice

because of me.

You got the voice recording from Sun Lei, right?

I don't know what you are talking about.

You know clearly what I'm talking about.

Back then, you suggested using my report

in the special bulletin,

because you were waiting for this day, right?

It has already come to this.

Even if I admit

that I'm working with Sun Lei,

you can't change anything.

No. Why are you doing this?

Xu Lai.

I already warned you

not to underestimate your opponent.

Otherwise, you'll pay for it

like today.

But you are not the one

paying for it.

Your friend, Huo Yanzong, is the one who'll pay.

Right?

Mr. Huo is out.

He's out.

He's out.

Mr. Huo.

What do you have to say

about the voice recording?

Is it true?

Have you always known

about TC's illegal production chain?

Are you the one

behind TC's illegal production chain?

Mr. Huo.

I heard that you are close to Ms. Xu

who investigated TC.

Is that why you pulled out quickly

from TC to stay clear from them

after their illegal production chain

is exposed?

Ms. Xu and I are just friends.

She is a good reporter.

Without her perseverance,

TC's illegal production chain

wouldn't have been exposed in such a short time.

I remember that you are

from the same TV station as Ms. Xu.

You should learn from her

and work on your professional proficiency

instead of

making groundless accusations.

Don't simply believe those rumors.

As for your questions,

our company will give you

a clear explanation.

Thank you.

- Mr. Huo. - Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo, say something.

- Mr. Huo. - Mr. Huo.

You were too emotional just now.

You didn't have to answer that female reporter.

You've responded directly

to the question on Xu Lai.

It'll be used against you.

Xu Lai is dragged into this.

How can I stay calm?

What should we do next?

The current share price of Yunkai Group

has been severely affected.

The open price for today

has dropped drastically.

All of the shareholders

are unhappy with you.

The authority has contacted our legal department

to give them relevant information about our company.

They say that we are under investigation.

Should we hold a press conference to clear things up?

No.

It'll only show

that we are trying to hide something.

Turn back.

Where are we going?

To the clubhouse.

Send an invitation to Sun Lei.

(I remember that you are)

(from the same TV station as Ms. Xu.)

(You should learn from her)

(and work on your professional proficiency)

(instead of)

(making groundless accusations.)

Hello, Huo.

Sorry. I was busy just now.

I just saw your messages.

I'm the one who should apologize.

I've dragged you into this.

Are you free?

I want to talk to you in person.

Now is not the time for us to meet.

I'll take care of the voice recording.

(Don't worry.)

(All Recordings)

(Send to Huo Yanzong)

Huo.

This is the voice recording that I've gotten today.

I hope that can help you.

Mr. Huo, Mr. Sun is here.

Okay.

Yesterday, you couldn't wait

to stay clear of me.

Why did you set up

this meeting with me today?

I've set up this meeting today

to make a deal with you.

Mr. Huo.

I thought

that I was just an abandoned pawn.

Tell me. What's the deal?

I want you to clarify in public

that Yunkai Group and I

know nothing about TC's illegal production.

In exchange,

we will not pull out from your company.

Before this, you kicked me away

right after you used me.

Now that you are in trouble,

you remember me again.

You and I both know

that you made the voice recording go public

because you wanted to drag me down with you.

TC is in huge trouble now.

If it loses the investment from Yunkai Group,

we know what will happen to TC.

I'm sure I don't need to teach you

how to seize the opportunity, right?

Why should I believe you?

Business is business.

In the face of the interests,

there's no such thing as eternal enemies.

Now, I need to eliminate

the negative impact on Yunkai Group.

And you

are in urgent need of our investment.

Our interests are aligned, right?

Okay.

I'll do that for you.

Look at what

I've brought for you.

You are here.

What are you thinking?

Let me take a look at you.

Why do you look more and more haggard

although you are resting every day?

Looks like you

need to get well soon

and go back to the station to train your team.

You haven't taken your medicine yet?

Not yet.

By the way, about the news report on TC...

Are you okay?

I'll get the burn relief cream for you.

Are you in pain?

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Just now, you said

that you brought me something good, right?

Meat bun.

Can you get it for me?

Okay?

This meat bun is delicious.

I had to queue for a long time to get it.

How long did you queue for it?

Two hours.

Let me give it a taste.

I can feed myself.

Why are you here?

I think

I can't feel my leg anymore today.

What's the worst that can happen?

Disability.

Can it be treated?

If you want to ask something, go ahead.

No. I don't understand.

Why aren't you pulling out from TC?

Aren't you afraid that Sun Lei

will latch on to you?

I'm not afraid that he'll latch on to me.

I just don't want to let him off the hook.

What do you mean?

The reporter who asked the question today

is called Jiang Xin.

She holds a grudge against Xu Lai.

Jiang Xin.

(You got the voice recording from Sun Lei, right?)

(I don't know what you are talking about.)

(You know clearly what I'm talking about.)

(Back then, you suggested using my report)

(in the special bulletin,)

(because you were waiting for this day, right?)

(Even if I admit)

(that I'm working with Sun Lei,)

(you can't change anything.)

(No. Why are you doing this?)

(What did Sun Lei offer you?)

I got this from Xu Lai.

Jiang Xin got the voice recording

between me and Sun Lei from Sun Lei.

Their goal is to drag Xu Lai into this.

They want to seek revenge.

I warned Sun Lei about it.

But he still dragged Xu Lai into this.

So, he can't blame me for what I'll do next.

No wonder.

So, you are doing this for Xu Lai again.

Let's go.

Let the three of us get together at our usual place.

No.

Everyone is skeptical

about my relationship with her.

If I make contact with her now,

someone like Jiang Xin

will use it against us.

What are you afraid of?

We have a decoy.

What decoy?

Why aren't we in a private room?

Don't you know that our photos

will be taken if we sit together in public?

That's what I want.

If we sit in a private room,

it'll defeat the purpose of this meal.

Did you ask me out

so that the paparazzi can take photos of us?

We agreed to act like a couple in public.

Please cooperate with me.

Okay.

I'll put on my best show today.

Baby.

Feed me.

What did you say?

I'm full now.

Please finish

the rest for me.

Don't waste any food.

Wait.

You love spicy food.

Don't cross the line.

Baby.

Are you mad at me?

Baby.

Stay over at my place tonight.

I only agreed to put on an act for you.

Don't try to take advantage of me.

Don't ever think about it.

We'll stay away from each other

after you get off the car.

Do we have to go that far?

If we don't,

it couldn't create the effect I want.

What effect do you want?

You don't have to know about that.

You just need to cooperate with me

and do your best to put on this show.

Stop the car.

I said, stop the car!

What's wrong?

Huo.

You are asking me for a favor now.

Are you going to tell me the truth or not?

Fine.

Someone is trying to frame me and Xu Lai.

To protect her,

I can only use you

to divert the attention from her.

So, you are using me as a shield for that reporter?

Any problem with that?
