[Sinan Maternity Hospital]
Director,
I've finished taking the blood pressure
for the patient in bed 3,
and here are the test results for bed 4.
Please take a look.
Alright.
You may go.
Siyun.
Aunt Nan.
Did you get your medicine?
Yes.
I just have one concern.
Well,
after taking
this kind of contraceptive,
will I be unable to get pregnant in the future?
No.
The contraceptive I prescribed for you
is imported from Germany,
and you can still conceive after you stop taking it.
It's designed to give us women
greater freedom
in deciding about having children.
Thank you.
Aunt Nan,
I have something I'd like to discuss with you.
Go ahead.
Recently, Sichuan has been hit by famine and plague outbreaks.
I'd like to organize a charity fundraiser
in the name of our Sinan Hospital
to raise donations of medicine for disaster victims.
Aunt Nan, what do you think?
Of course, no problem.
I'll help you invite
some social elites to attend.
Thank you, Aunt Nan.
By the way,
remember to take the pill on schedule.
Don't forget.
Got it.
Is Kang Kaisheng
your new pen name?
Don't be ridiculous.
What?
You like his articles?
This guy is quite bold in his writing—
every point targets the government.
Your newspaper is quite bold as well,
willing to publish anything.
Some people say he's a Communist.
What do you think?
I don't know what his intentions are.
Stay away from him.
I barely know him.
What did you want to see me about?
About what I mentioned before—
the disaster relief fundraising.
I want to buy a front-page spot.
Help me design it, will you?
-Cheng, you're here. -Mr. Lu.
You guys talk.
I'll handle what you asked me to do.
Goodbye, Mr. Lu.
Boss, let's go inside and talk.
Boss.
My men saw Mr. Dalun
doing business with Huang Aniu,
and they took some photos of them.
Take a look.
Huang Aniu was caught before selling opium with the Japanese—
and he still dares to do this?
The Japanese?
The Master explicitly forbids
selling opium.
And now he's involved with the Japanese.
The Master won't tolerate either of those things,
and Mr. Dalun has done both.
When has he ever listened to the Master?
True.
Cheng.
From today on,
have our men keep a close watch on Dalun.
Got it.
I'll go see to it now.
Mom.
You're back.
Come here.
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Xiong...
he passed away.
His grandmother asked me to give you a message.
Xiong wanted to tell you
that he was sorry.
The arranged marriage wasn't Xiong's fault.
That's true.
We should pick a day
to burn incense and joss paper for him.
After all,
he was still family.
Okay.
I also want to apologize to you.
Marriage is such an important matter,
yet I couldn't even protect your right to choose.
It's alright, Mom.
That's all behind us now.
Mom hopes that in the future,
you can find someone you truly love,
who is decent, good-tempered,
and will cherish you.
Anyway, I definitely won't
marry someone like Dad.
What did you want to see me about?
Sit.
Do you know Huang Aniu?
Huang Aniu?
Let me think...
No, I don't know him.
Then I'll tell you.
Huang Aniu made his fortune
by selling opium with the Japanese.
He's been quite active lately.
Then this bastard really deserves to die.
Should he die for selling opium
or for collaborating with the Japanese?
Whatever the reason, he deserves to die.
Do you want me to use
my connections in the Revival Society to take care of him?
Dalun.
I don't care what society you're in.
There are two things I've always stressed.
Don't sell opium.
Don't cooperate with the Japanese.
Father taught us these from a young age.
These are our principles—
our bottom line.
I have principles and a bottom line.
I know you and Father both care for me.
So how could I make such a mistake?
His name is Huang Aniu?
He told me his name was Li Zeqing.
I did do business with him in the Northeast.
I owe him money.
He followed me to Shanghai
and forced me to deal in opium with him.
I originally thought I'd just pay him back
and then cut all ties with him.
He actually has dealings with the Japanese.
Don't worry.
From now on,
I'll never contact him again.
Don't worry about me anymore.
You're not going to drink it just because it makes you sick?
Once you get used to it, you won't get sick.
Alright.
Father.
Father.
What are you two brothers talking about?
Just chatting.
Did you get into trouble again?
He's about to cause trouble.
What have you done this time?
I'm asking you!
He wants to make boiled pork with pickled cabbage
for your birthday.
That's right.
Your birthday is coming up, isn't it?
I'm planning to show off my cooking skills
at your birthday banquet.
You mean that over-salted pickled cabbage stew you made?
It's boiled pork with pickled cabbage.
Whatever it is,
I don't want all my guests choking on all that salt.
I'll be careful with the salt this time.
Keep an eye on him for me.
Alright, you two carry on.
Mom, you look great.
You should keep having the bird's nest soup.
Alright.
Thanks.
You'd better behave yourself.
Boss, we'll start from Suzhou Creek here
and follow this road into the city.
Then we'll reach here
and continue down this way.
However, if the weather is nice,
we'll go this route...
Who are you?
You're Attorney Cheng, right?
What do you want?
I'm a journalist from a newspaper,
and I'd like to ask you to write an article.
Look at you, so sloppy
and sneaky.
What could you possibly write?
I'm Lu Yingchen's colleague
and his good friend.
Mr. Lu's friend.
Come in.
This is an article I wrote.
This is my pen name.
You should know it, right?
Hello.
I'm Cheng Ao.
Attorney Cheng.
This is an article I wrote.
Under the pen name Kang Kaisheng.
So you're the one whose every viewpoint
criticizes the government.
That's me.
Please, have a seat.
Thank you.
What brings you here?
I came today
on behalf of our newspaper
to commission you to write an article.
I've never written articles before.
I saw you defending those anti-Japanese students in court.
You have a strong sense of justice.
I just feel
that you must have many more
genuine ideas that you haven't fully expressed.
As it happens,
our newspaper is willing to give you
such an opportunity.
You can express all your ideas
and principles in writing.
This way,
they can reach a wider audience of young people,
including those students who are lost
yet seeking the light.
Mr. Kang,
I am a lawyer.
Whether my client that day was a student
or a murderer,
I must do my best to defend them.
That's my duty as a lawyer.
Attorney Cheng,
how is student Xiaoshan doing now?
If needed,
I can arrange for him
and other students who seek enlightenment...
to go to the Soviet area together.
What area?
The Soviet area.
Soviet area?
What area is the Soviet area?
Is it a district in Suzhou?
Yes.
By the way,
Attorney Cheng,
I heard
you generously donated to Sinan Hospital's
charity fundraiser this time.
But I wonder, after collecting these medicines,
how do you plan to
safely transport them to Sichuan?
That's something Director Lin should worry about.
I don't know.
What about the article commission?
That's enough.
Attorney Cheng is very busy today.
You should go. Come on, come on.
Well then, Attorney Cheng, I'll take my leave now.
Take care.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
That dude doesn't look like he's up to any good.
Why are you looking at me? Keep moving!
Waiting for me to walk you out?
He really doesn't seem like a decent person.
So sneaky.
Close the door properly.
Just now I said if the weather is good,
we can take this route, right?
[Four Seas Peide Jetty]
They're cracking down hard lately.
This is all I can get you this time.
When will the next shipment arrive?
Didn't I tell you? They're cracking down hard lately.
Next time isn't guaranteed.
I'll let you know later.
Huang Aniu.
From now on, you've got a new name:
Li Zeqing.
Young Master.
We were being tailed just now.
Who sent them?
Cheng's men.
What?
They didn't see me, did they?
Don't worry,
I've caught them all
and taken care of them.
Good.
What?
Do you know this person?
Who?
Yes, I do.
This guy has become quite famous lately.
Hasn't he already approached you?
He approached me.
Have you been spying on me?
Look at how paranoid you are.
Someone has been spying on Kang Kaisheng
and saw him approach you.
Since you're here,
let's discuss this together.
You know,
the articles this man has published lately
are extremely provocative,
reeking of communist leanings.
Go on.
But it'd be strange to say he's definitely a Communist.
How did he manage to get his articles published, anyway?
The only thing I'm certain of
right now is
that he has someone backing him,
but who could it be?
Why are you looking at me like that?
You suspect he's working for me?
I didn't say anything.
Your eyes already give it away.
Tell me what he said when he came to see you.
This man approached me with clear intentions.
Last time he tried to trick me into talking
and even implied that I was a Communist.
So are you one or not?
What's that supposed to mean?
He's your guy, isn't he?
How could he be my guy?
I would never investigate you.
Right.
You don't investigate.
Usually,
you just frame me directly.
Wh-What do you mean by that?
Remember to attend Nan's charity gala tonight!
If you're going, how could I not go?
Thank you very much
to every kind-hearted guest here today.
Today,
we've gathered here to raise funds
for medicines for those disaster victims
suffering from the plague and to do our part
in supporting the relief efforts.
At the same time,
I'm also grateful
to have witnessed the growth of a dear friend.
Her persistence has deeply moved me.
Without her,
there would be no Sinan Hospital today.
I'd like to invite her on stage to say a few words.
Thank you, Mrs. Shen, for your praise and recognition.
Our Sinan Hospital will donate
all of our medicine supplies to the disaster area.
At the same time, I'd like to appeal to
every benevolent guest here today
to contribute whatever you can.
Is that so, Miss Lin?
What you're saying sounds very noble,
but from what I know,
the medicine donations your Sinan Hospital raised this time
probably aren't being sent
to Sichuan, are they?
Sir,
I don't understand what you're talking about.
Our fundraising is supervised by the government.
If you don't have solid evidence,
my lawyer is right here,
and I can sue you for defamation.
By government,
you wouldn't happen to mean the Shen family, would you?
I've looked into your Sinan Hospital's
medication procurement list this time.
The amounts clearly exceed what's needed for the plague.
Who knows if your Sinan Hospital
is taking advantage of the Shen family's protection
to work with outside accomplices,
doing all sorts of
shady business behind closed doors,
just to line your own pockets...
Stop, stop, stop.
You're Kang Kaisheng?
Yes.
Take him away.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Who was that man at the gala?
Why was he targeting me?
And why did Shen Yiqun suddenly step in
and have him arrested?
Was he helping us?
Not "us,"
just you.
He was helping you.
Yeah.
Isn't he into you?
Why are you such a pain?
Right.
I'm a pain,
while Shen Yiqun is likable.
I know.
I'm leaving then.
Where are you going?
Going to have noodles with Shen Yiqun.
Go ahead then.
Not leaving?
How can I leave when you're pulling me?
Still not leaving?
Can't bear to leave me?
I just can't bear to leave Shen Yiqun.
So what?
Then you have to have noodles with me.
I can't bear to let you go.
Don't pull me. I can walk by myself.
Where's Cheng?
He said he'd treat me to noodles,
but he's nowhere to be found.
Admit it—you're the one craving noodles,
and you claimed Cheng invited us here.
What?
If I had been the one who wanted to eat,
you wouldn't have come with me?
That would depend on my mood.
You're full of pride, aren't you?
How are you?
Are you injured?
Where are you injured? Let me see.
I'm fine.
And I'm not injured.
You must have been terrified.
It's okay now.
I'm here.
How is Cheng Ao?
The doctor said
the knife wound isn't deep.
After it's been stitched up,
he'll be fine after a few days of rest.
What a pity.
You're a doctor too.
Do you doctors have some kind of drug that,
when injected into someone's body,
will make them never wake up again?
If you do, give it to me now,
and I'll go in there and inject him with it.
Taking you out for noodles this late at night?
Shanghai is in such chaos right now.
He still has enemies out there.
Does he not know that?
Luckily, nothing serious happened this time,
but what if something really bad happens next time?
Alright.
I'll take you home.
I'm not leaving.
The doctor said it's nothing serious.
What's the point of you staying?
Go home and get some rest.
I'll bring you back tomorrow.
Come on!
I want to stay and keep him company.
Then I'll stay to keep you company.
Can you just leave me alone for a while?
Shen Yiqun.
Can you stop using
your concern to emotionally manipulate me?
It only makes things awkward between us.
I don't like it.
Can you respect me?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I'll leave two men downstairs for you.
Help.
Help. I can't take it anymore.
It hurts, it hurts so much.
G-Get me a glass of water.
The doctor said your injury isn't serious.
Stop pretending.
Fine.
Have you been here the whole time?
Why are you still holding my pocket watch?
Thankfully, this pocket watch
took the stab for you.
Otherwise, you'd be dead by now.
This pocket watch
was left to me by my mother.
I never thought
they'd still be protecting me even now.
You were quite cute as a child.
Do you like this watch?
Even if you do, I can't give it to you.
Give it back.
Why?
I'm saving this watch
for the most important person in my life someday.

Why did you come up here?
I looked all over the hospital for you.
I came up for some fresh air.
Isn't it too sunny up here?
How's your recovery going?
Not dead yet.
Alright.
Give me a cigarette.
You're injured and still want to smoke?
I'll smoke, and you can just enjoy the smell.
Don't smoke either.
I'm injured.
I can't be around smoke.
Fine.
Lucky for you that pocket watch saved you.
Otherwise, I'd have had to bring
a wreath for you today.
Scooch over.
You punk,
are you that eager for me to die?
Do you have any conscience?
Look at you.
You've always been smart—
smarter than me at least,
and better educated too.
I really don't understand what you're thinking.
Now that the national situation is crystal clear,
you could do anything else,
but you had to pick the most dangerous path.
What's going on in that head of yours?
You're smarter than me.
You're too smart for your own good.
What do you mean by choosing paths?
I'm working as a lawyer, aren't I?
I don't understand.
Keep playing dumb then.
I'm only saying this
because I see you as a brother.
Fine, thanks.
Where's Cheng?
How would I know?
He's your man.
He's my man.
But maybe you should ask your men.
Wait, what do you mean by that?
You suspect my men did this?
Without my orders,
who would dare do such a thing?
If my men did it,
I'd
throw myself off the hospital roof today,
headfirst to the ground.
Fine.
I'd send you a wreath by then.
Get some rest.
Did you hurt Cheng Ao?
Are you behind Kang Kaisheng?
Cheng Ao is pro-Communist.
Do you think I'm pro-Communist or not?
Young Master.
Being soft-hearted now will only backfire on you.
If you don't make your mark now,
people like Shen Yiqun
will crush you under their feet.
By then, you won't even be able to turn things around.
Jin.
Get up.
Are we buddies or not?
Yes.
From now on, stay out of
Cheng Ao's business.
I looked into it.
Cheng Ao and Zeng Dalun's fathers
were sworn brothers,
with Cheng Ao's father being the elder one.
So that means
the former leader of this gang
was Cheng Ao's father.
Well, 10 years ago,
Cheng Ao's parents suddenly died,
and Mr. Zeng
naturally took over as the new leader.
As for Cheng Ao,
he became Mr. Zeng's adopted son...
What kind of investigation is that?
Everyone on the street knows that.
Right, I'm useless.
There's more.
Zeng Dalun gives off a dangerous vibe.
-He can't be controlled... -I know that.
Well...
I think Cheng Ao is a good guy.
This young man
is ambitious,
compassionate,
and well-respected.
If we could get him on our side,
he'd be a valuable asset...
I know that too.
Tell me something I don't know.
I've heard rumors...
Cheng Ao has connections with the Communists.
What did you say?
Some people say
Cheng Ao is connected to the Communists.
Huang, you really are useless.
Don't make claims without evidence again!
Yes, yes, yes.
Understood.
Understood.
That's all?
That's all.
Then why are you still standing here?
Yes, I'm going then.
Boss, we found Cheng.
Where is he?
I'll take you to him.
Let's go.
Boss.
Cheng.
You almost got me killed.
I'm sorry, Boss.
Well...
Jin threatened me with my family.
How did those people target you?
Remember
when you asked me to tail Huang Aniu?
Then I wasn't careful
and got captured by him instead.
Oh, right, Boss,
there are Japanese guys among those thugs.
Alright, got it.
Anyway, that's what happened.
I'll pack my things in the next couple of days
and head back to the Northeast.
I'm too ashamed to show my face around you.
I truly appreciate how you've looked after me all these years.
Stop pretending.
I'm not pretending.
Can you still move around?
Move around...
I think so.
Why?
Get dressed properly.
I'm taking you out for noodles.
Noodles, really?
Yeah.
We didn't get to eat them that day, did we?
Don't worry, Boss.
If those guys show up today,
I'll kick their asses for you.
Don't let these injuries fool you.
I'm tough as nails, I'm telling you.
Yeah, yeah, you're the tough one.
Wait for me, Boss.
Hello.
I have an appointment
to see Director Lin.
Alright, this way, please.
You can step outside for now.
I'm just going to speak with the doctor.
Do you understand what it means to respect women?
This is a maternity hospital!
You go out too.
I just want a private word with the doctor.
Yes.
What's wrong?
Are you feeling unwell?
I'm here
just to ask
if someone like me
can have an abortion.
I'm sorry, Madam Yanhong,
but abortion is illegal.
But I'm carrying a monster.
If I give birth to it,
I'll die.
How do you know it's a monster?
It's growing inside me. How could I not know?
Why do you want an abortion?
I don't like being forced.
I don't love the father of this child.
Anyway, if you won't help me,
I'll go to your hospital lobby,
grab a pair of scissors, and cut it out myself.
Do you believe me?
Who are you?
I'm the most miserable woman in the world.
If you keep this up, I'll call the police.
Go ahead then.
The father of this child is so cruel,
and you people who run hospitals are just as heartless!
Why did you come to my room?
Cheng Ao.
It was my men who hurt you.
It's complicated to explain in a few words,
so I won't try to do it.
Anyway, I owe you an apology.
Let's put that aside for now.
You have Japanese people
working for you.
No way.
After you and our old man warned me,
I haven't had any contact with the Japanese since.
Zeng Dalun.
I'm warning you one more time.
Stay away from anything
to do with the Japanese.
Do you hear me?
Why are you so long-winded?
I've always listened to you since I was little.
Even when I don't listen to the old man, I listen to you.
Look, is that woman pretty?
Siyun.
Why are you here?
I'm here to give Sixth Madam a check-up.
I invited her.
Miss Lin is now Shanghai's
most renowned gynecologist.
Let's go, Sister-in-law.
I'll take you to her room.
You might as well hit me for real.
Goodbye, Sister-in-law.
Let me walk you there.
Dr. Lin,
thank you for coming all the way here.
It's my job.
Please, this way.
Okay.
What seems to be the problem?
I suddenly bled a little today.
Do you think I could have miscarried?
We'll need to examine you to know for sure.
Please, doctor,
could you help me terminate this pregnancy?
I can't.
Father,
is Madam Yanhong alright?
She's fine.
She even performed "The Heavenly Maidens Scattering Flowers" for me just now.
That's good.
How's your recovery?
I'm doing well.
Did the Anhui gang do it?
No.
We've found Cheng too.
Did he say who the attacker was?
We're still investigating it.
If you need anything from me,
just say it.
Father.
I know the Zeng family wharf isn't open to outsiders,
but I'd like to borrow it
to transport some supplies
to the disaster area.
You silly boy.
What do you mean by "borrowing our family's wharf"?
In the future, you'll be
in charge of our entire family.
Thank you, Father.
Are you fully healed from your injury?
Didn't you say it wasn't a serious wound?
I still have to ask if you're fully recovered.
I'm all better now.
With you by my side,
what injury wouldn't heal?
I'm driving.
Your father's sixth concubine wants an abortion.
W-what?
You mean Madam Yanhong?
What did she say?
I feel like...
she's being held against her will
in your house by Mr. Zeng.
She doesn't love Mr. Zeng.
But she can't escape even if she wants to.
She's pitiful.
But Mr. Zeng
can never know about this.
If he finds out...
would he kill Yanhong?
Do all the men in your gang
treat women this way?
Yeah, we all do.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I was just teasing you.
I was just kidding.
Let go.
Don't be mad anymore.
Alright.
I just like girls like you.
Eyes on the road. Why are you looking at me?
[Footprints of Change]
[Episode 8]
[Sinan Maternity Hospital]
Director,
I've finished taking the blood pressure
for the patient in bed 3,
and here are the test results for bed 4.
Please take a look.
Alright.
You may go.
Siyun.
Aunt Nan.
Did you get your medicine?
Yes.
I just have one concern.
Well,
after taking
this kind of contraceptive,
will I be unable to get pregnant in the future?
No.
The contraceptive I prescribed for you
is imported from Germany,
and you can still conceive after you stop taking it.
It's designed to give us women
greater freedom
in deciding about having children.
Thank you.
Aunt Nan,
I have something I'd like to discuss with you.
Go ahead.
Recently, Sichuan has been hit by famine and plague outbreaks.
I'd like to organize a charity fundraiser
in the name of our Sinan Hospital
to raise donations of medicine for disaster victims.
Aunt Nan, what do you think?
Of course, no problem.
I'll help you invite
some social elites to attend.
Thank you, Aunt Nan.
By the way,
remember to take the pill on schedule.
Don't forget.
Got it.
Is Kang Kaisheng
your new pen name?
Don't be ridiculous.
What?
You like his articles?
This guy is quite bold in his writing—
every point targets the government.
Your newspaper is quite bold as well,
willing to publish anything.
Some people say he's a Communist.
What do you think?
I don't know what his intentions are.
Stay away from him.
I barely know him.
What did you want to see me about?
About what I mentioned before—
the disaster relief fundraising.
I want to buy a front-page spot.
Help me design it, will you?
-Cheng, you're here. -Mr. Lu.
You guys talk.
I'll handle what you asked me to do.
Goodbye, Mr. Lu.
Boss, let's go inside and talk.
Boss.
My men saw Mr. Dalun
doing business with Huang Aniu,
and they took some photos of them.
Take a look.
Huang Aniu was caught before selling opium with the Japanese—
and he still dares to do this?
The Japanese?
The Master explicitly forbids
selling opium.
And now he's involved with the Japanese.
The Master won't tolerate either of those things,
and Mr. Dalun has done both.
When has he ever listened to the Master?
True.
Cheng.
From today on,
have our men keep a close watch on Dalun.
Got it.
I'll go see to it now.
Mom.
You're back.
Come here.
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Xiong...
he passed away.
His grandmother asked me to give you a message.
Xiong wanted to tell you
that he was sorry.
The arranged marriage wasn't Xiong's fault.
That's true.
We should pick a day
to burn incense and joss paper for him.
After all,
he was still family.
Okay.
I also want to apologize to you.
Marriage is such an important matter,
yet I couldn't even protect your right to choose.
It's alright, Mom.
That's all behind us now.
Mom hopes that in the future,
you can find someone you truly love,
who is decent, good-tempered,
and will cherish you.
Anyway, I definitely won't
marry someone like Dad.
What did you want to see me about?
Sit.
Do you know Huang Aniu?
Huang Aniu?
Let me think...
No, I don't know him.
Then I'll tell you.
Huang Aniu made his fortune
by selling opium with the Japanese.
He's been quite active lately.
Then this bastard really deserves to die.
Should he die for selling opium
or for collaborating with the Japanese?
Whatever the reason, he deserves to die.
Do you want me to use
my connections in the Revival Society to take care of him?
Dalun.
I don't care what society you're in.
There are two things I've always stressed.
Don't sell opium.
Don't cooperate with the Japanese.
Father taught us these from a young age.
These are our principles—
our bottom line.
I have principles and a bottom line.
I know you and Father both care for me.
So how could I make such a mistake?
His name is Huang Aniu?
He told me his name was Li Zeqing.
I did do business with him in the Northeast.
I owe him money.
He followed me to Shanghai
and forced me to deal in opium with him.
I originally thought I'd just pay him back
and then cut all ties with him.
He actually has dealings with the Japanese.
Don't worry.
From now on,
I'll never contact him again.
Don't worry about me anymore.
You're not going to drink it just because it makes you sick?
Once you get used to it, you won't get sick.
Alright.
Father.
Father.
What are you two brothers talking about?
Just chatting.
Did you get into trouble again?
He's about to cause trouble.
What have you done this time?
I'm asking you!
He wants to make boiled pork with pickled cabbage
for your birthday.
That's right.
Your birthday is coming up, isn't it?
I'm planning to show off my cooking skills
at your birthday banquet.
You mean that over-salted pickled cabbage stew you made?
It's boiled pork with pickled cabbage.
Whatever it is,
I don't want all my guests choking on all that salt.
I'll be careful with the salt this time.
Keep an eye on him for me.
Alright, you two carry on.
Mom, you look great.
You should keep having the bird's nest soup.
Alright.
Thanks.
You'd better behave yourself.
Boss, we'll start from Suzhou Creek here
and follow this road into the city.
Then we'll reach here
and continue down this way.
However, if the weather is nice,
we'll go this route...
Who are you?
You're Attorney Cheng, right?
What do you want?
I'm a journalist from a newspaper,
and I'd like to ask you to write an article.
Look at you, so sloppy
and sneaky.
What could you possibly write?
I'm Lu Yingchen's colleague
and his good friend.
Mr. Lu's friend.
Come in.
This is an article I wrote.
This is my pen name.
You should know it, right?
Hello.
I'm Cheng Ao.
Attorney Cheng.
This is an article I wrote.
Under the pen name Kang Kaisheng.
So you're the one whose every viewpoint
criticizes the government.
That's me.
Please, have a seat.
Thank you.
What brings you here?
I came today
on behalf of our newspaper
to commission you to write an article.
I've never written articles before.
I saw you defending those anti-Japanese students in court.
You have a strong sense of justice.
I just feel
that you must have many more
genuine ideas that you haven't fully expressed.
As it happens,
our newspaper is willing to give you
such an opportunity.
You can express all your ideas
and principles in writing.
This way,
they can reach a wider audience of young people,
including those students who are lost
yet seeking the light.
Mr. Kang,
I am a lawyer.
Whether my client that day was a student
or a murderer,
I must do my best to defend them.
That's my duty as a lawyer.
Attorney Cheng,
how is student Xiaoshan doing now?
If needed,
I can arrange for him
and other students who seek enlightenment...
to go to the Soviet area together.
What area?
The Soviet area.
Soviet area?
What area is the Soviet area?
Is it a district in Suzhou?
Yes.
By the way,
Attorney Cheng,
I heard
you generously donated to Sinan Hospital's
charity fundraiser this time.
But I wonder, after collecting these medicines,
how do you plan to
safely transport them to Sichuan?
That's something Director Lin should worry about.
I don't know.
What about the article commission?
That's enough.
Attorney Cheng is very busy today.
You should go. Come on, come on.
Well then, Attorney Cheng, I'll take my leave now.
Take care.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
That dude doesn't look like he's up to any good.
Why are you looking at me? Keep moving!
Waiting for me to walk you out?
He really doesn't seem like a decent person.
So sneaky.
Close the door properly.
Just now I said if the weather is good,
we can take this route, right?
[Four Seas Peide Jetty]
They're cracking down hard lately.
This is all I can get you this time.
When will the next shipment arrive?
Didn't I tell you? They're cracking down hard lately.
Next time isn't guaranteed.
I'll let you know later.
Huang Aniu.
From now on, you've got a new name:
Li Zeqing.
Young Master.
We were being tailed just now.
Who sent them?
Cheng's men.
What?
They didn't see me, did they?
Don't worry,
I've caught them all
and taken care of them.
Good.
What?
Do you know this person?
Who?
Yes, I do.
This guy has become quite famous lately.
Hasn't he already approached you?
He approached me.
Have you been spying on me?
Look at how paranoid you are.
Someone has been spying on Kang Kaisheng
and saw him approach you.
Since you're here,
let's discuss this together.
You know,
the articles this man has published lately
are extremely provocative,
reeking of communist leanings.
Go on.
But it'd be strange to say he's definitely a Communist.
How did he manage to get his articles published, anyway?
The only thing I'm certain of
right now is
that he has someone backing him,
but who could it be?
Why are you looking at me like that?
You suspect he's working for me?
I didn't say anything.
Your eyes already give it away.
Tell me what he said when he came to see you.
This man approached me with clear intentions.
Last time he tried to trick me into talking
and even implied that I was a Communist.
So are you one or not?
What's that supposed to mean?
He's your guy, isn't he?
How could he be my guy?
I would never investigate you.
Right.
You don't investigate.
Usually,
you just frame me directly.
Wh-What do you mean by that?
Remember to attend Nan's charity gala tonight!
If you're going, how could I not go?
Thank you very much
to every kind-hearted guest here today.
Today,
we've gathered here to raise funds
for medicines for those disaster victims
suffering from the plague and to do our part
in supporting the relief efforts.
At the same time,
I'm also grateful
to have witnessed the growth of a dear friend.
Her persistence has deeply moved me.
Without her,
there would be no Sinan Hospital today.
I'd like to invite her on stage to say a few words.
Thank you, Mrs. Shen, for your praise and recognition.
Our Sinan Hospital will donate
all of our medicine supplies to the disaster area.
At the same time, I'd like to appeal to
every benevolent guest here today
to contribute whatever you can.
Is that so, Miss Lin?
What you're saying sounds very noble,
but from what I know,
the medicine donations your Sinan Hospital raised this time
probably aren't being sent
to Sichuan, are they?
Sir,
I don't understand what you're talking about.
Our fundraising is supervised by the government.
If you don't have solid evidence,
my lawyer is right here,
and I can sue you for defamation.
By government,
you wouldn't happen to mean the Shen family, would you?
I've looked into your Sinan Hospital's
medication procurement list this time.
The amounts clearly exceed what's needed for the plague.
Who knows if your Sinan Hospital
is taking advantage of the Shen family's protection
to work with outside accomplices,
doing all sorts of
shady business behind closed doors,
just to line your own pockets...
Stop, stop, stop.
You're Kang Kaisheng?
Yes.
Take him away.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Who was that man at the gala?
Why was he targeting me?
And why did Shen Yiqun suddenly step in
and have him arrested?
Was he helping us?
Not "us,"
just you.
He was helping you.
Yeah.
Isn't he into you?
Why are you such a pain?
Right.
I'm a pain,
while Shen Yiqun is likable.
I know.
I'm leaving then.
Where are you going?
Going to have noodles with Shen Yiqun.
Go ahead then.
Not leaving?
How can I leave when you're pulling me?
Still not leaving?
Can't bear to leave me?
I just can't bear to leave Shen Yiqun.
So what?
Then you have to have noodles with me.
I can't bear to let you go.
Don't pull me. I can walk by myself.
Where's Cheng?
He said he'd treat me to noodles,
but he's nowhere to be found.
Admit it—you're the one craving noodles,
and you claimed Cheng invited us here.
What?
If I had been the one who wanted to eat,
you wouldn't have come with me?
That would depend on my mood.
You're full of pride, aren't you?
How are you?
Are you injured?
Where are you injured? Let me see.
I'm fine.
And I'm not injured.
You must have been terrified.
It's okay now.
I'm here.
How is Cheng Ao?
The doctor said
the knife wound isn't deep.
After it's been stitched up,
he'll be fine after a few days of rest.
What a pity.
You're a doctor too.
Do you doctors have some kind of drug that,
when injected into someone's body,
will make them never wake up again?
If you do, give it to me now,
and I'll go in there and inject him with it.
Taking you out for noodles this late at night?
Shanghai is in such chaos right now.
He still has enemies out there.
Does he not know that?
Luckily, nothing serious happened this time,
but what if something really bad happens next time?
Alright.
I'll take you home.
I'm not leaving.
The doctor said it's nothing serious.
What's the point of you staying?
Go home and get some rest.
I'll bring you back tomorrow.
Come on!
I want to stay and keep him company.
Then I'll stay to keep you company.
Can you just leave me alone for a while?
Shen Yiqun.
Can you stop using
your concern to emotionally manipulate me?
It only makes things awkward between us.
I don't like it.
Can you respect me?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I'll leave two men downstairs for you.
Help.
Help. I can't take it anymore.
It hurts, it hurts so much.
G-Get me a glass of water.
The doctor said your injury isn't serious.
Stop pretending.
Fine.
Have you been here the whole time?
Why are you still holding my pocket watch?
Thankfully, this pocket watch
took the stab for you.
Otherwise, you'd be dead by now.
This pocket watch
was left to me by my mother.
I never thought
they'd still be protecting me even now.
You were quite cute as a child.
Do you like this watch?
Even if you do, I can't give it to you.
Give it back.
Why?
I'm saving this watch
for the most important person in my life someday.

Why did you come up here?
I looked all over the hospital for you.
I came up for some fresh air.
Isn't it too sunny up here?
How's your recovery going?
Not dead yet.
Alright.
Give me a cigarette.
You're injured and still want to smoke?
I'll smoke, and you can just enjoy the smell.
Don't smoke either.
I'm injured.
I can't be around smoke.
Fine.
Lucky for you that pocket watch saved you.
Otherwise, I'd have had to bring
a wreath for you today.
Scooch over.
You punk,
are you that eager for me to die?
Do you have any conscience?
Look at you.
You've always been smart—
smarter than me at least,
and better educated too.
I really don't understand what you're thinking.
Now that the national situation is crystal clear,
you could do anything else,
but you had to pick the most dangerous path.
What's going on in that head of yours?
You're smarter than me.
You're too smart for your own good.
What do you mean by choosing paths?
I'm working as a lawyer, aren't I?
I don't understand.
Keep playing dumb then.
I'm only saying this
because I see you as a brother.
Fine, thanks.
Where's Cheng?
How would I know?
He's your man.
He's my man.
But maybe you should ask your men.
Wait, what do you mean by that?
You suspect my men did this?
Without my orders,
who would dare do such a thing?
If my men did it,
I'd
throw myself off the hospital roof today,
headfirst to the ground.
Fine.
I'd send you a wreath by then.
Get some rest.
Did you hurt Cheng Ao?
Are you behind Kang Kaisheng?
Cheng Ao is pro-Communist.
Do you think I'm pro-Communist or not?
Young Master.
Being soft-hearted now will only backfire on you.
If you don't make your mark now,
people like Shen Yiqun
will crush you under their feet.
By then, you won't even be able to turn things around.
Jin.
Get up.
Are we buddies or not?
Yes.
From now on, stay out of
Cheng Ao's business.
I looked into it.
Cheng Ao and Zeng Dalun's fathers
were sworn brothers,
with Cheng Ao's father being the elder one.
So that means
the former leader of this gang
was Cheng Ao's father.
Well, 10 years ago,
Cheng Ao's parents suddenly died,
and Mr. Zeng
naturally took over as the new leader.
As for Cheng Ao,
he became Mr. Zeng's adopted son...
What kind of investigation is that?
Everyone on the street knows that.
Right, I'm useless.
There's more.
Zeng Dalun gives off a dangerous vibe.
-He can't be controlled... -I know that.
Well...
I think Cheng Ao is a good guy.
This young man
is ambitious,
compassionate,
and well-respected.
If we could get him on our side,
he'd be a valuable asset...
I know that too.
Tell me something I don't know.
I've heard rumors...
Cheng Ao has connections with the Communists.
What did you say?
Some people say
Cheng Ao is connected to the Communists.
Huang, you really are useless.
Don't make claims without evidence again!
Yes, yes, yes.
Understood.
Understood.
That's all?
That's all.
Then why are you still standing here?
Yes, I'm going then.
Boss, we found Cheng.
Where is he?
I'll take you to him.
Let's go.
Boss.
Cheng.
You almost got me killed.
I'm sorry, Boss.
Well...
Jin threatened me with my family.
How did those people target you?
Remember
when you asked me to tail Huang Aniu?
Then I wasn't careful
and got captured by him instead.
Oh, right, Boss,
there are Japanese guys among those thugs.
Alright, got it.
Anyway, that's what happened.
I'll pack my things in the next couple of days
and head back to the Northeast.
I'm too ashamed to show my face around you.
I truly appreciate how you've looked after me all these years.
Stop pretending.
I'm not pretending.
Can you still move around?
Move around...
I think so.
Why?
Get dressed properly.
I'm taking you out for noodles.
Noodles, really?
Yeah.
We didn't get to eat them that day, did we?
Don't worry, Boss.
If those guys show up today,
I'll kick their asses for you.
Don't let these injuries fool you.
I'm tough as nails, I'm telling you.
Yeah, yeah, you're the tough one.
Wait for me, Boss.
Hello.
I have an appointment
to see Director Lin.
Alright, this way, please.
You can step outside for now.
I'm just going to speak with the doctor.
Do you understand what it means to respect women?
This is a maternity hospital!
You go out too.
I just want a private word with the doctor.
Yes.
What's wrong?
Are you feeling unwell?
I'm here
just to ask
if someone like me
can have an abortion.
I'm sorry, Madam Yanhong,
but abortion is illegal.
But I'm carrying a monster.
If I give birth to it,
I'll die.
How do you know it's a monster?
It's growing inside me. How could I not know?
Why do you want an abortion?
I don't like being forced.
I don't love the father of this child.
Anyway, if you won't help me,
I'll go to your hospital lobby,
grab a pair of scissors, and cut it out myself.
Do you believe me?
Who are you?
I'm the most miserable woman in the world.
If you keep this up, I'll call the police.
Go ahead then.
The father of this child is so cruel,
and you people who run hospitals are just as heartless!
Why did you come to my room?
Cheng Ao.
It was my men who hurt you.
It's complicated to explain in a few words,
so I won't try to do it.
Anyway, I owe you an apology.
Let's put that aside for now.
You have Japanese people
working for you.
No way.
After you and our old man warned me,
I haven't had any contact with the Japanese since.
Zeng Dalun.
I'm warning you one more time.
Stay away from anything
to do with the Japanese.
Do you hear me?
Why are you so long-winded?
I've always listened to you since I was little.
Even when I don't listen to the old man, I listen to you.
Look, is that woman pretty?
Siyun.
Why are you here?
I'm here to give Sixth Madam a check-up.
I invited her.
Miss Lin is now Shanghai's
most renowned gynecologist.
Let's go, Sister-in-law.
I'll take you to her room.
You might as well hit me for real.
Goodbye, Sister-in-law.
Let me walk you there.
Dr. Lin,
thank you for coming all the way here.
It's my job.
Please, this way.
Okay.
What seems to be the problem?
I suddenly bled a little today.
Do you think I could have miscarried?
We'll need to examine you to know for sure.
Please, doctor,
could you help me terminate this pregnancy?
I can't.
Father,
is Madam Yanhong alright?
She's fine.
She even performed "The Heavenly Maidens Scattering Flowers" for me just now.
That's good.
How's your recovery?
I'm doing well.
Did the Anhui gang do it?
No.
We've found Cheng too.
Did he say who the attacker was?
We're still investigating it.
If you need anything from me,
just say it.
Father.
I know the Zeng family wharf isn't open to outsiders,
but I'd like to borrow it
to transport some supplies
to the disaster area.
You silly boy.
What do you mean by "borrowing our family's wharf"?
In the future, you'll be
in charge of our entire family.
Thank you, Father.
Are you fully healed from your injury?
Didn't you say it wasn't a serious wound?
I still have to ask if you're fully recovered.
I'm all better now.
With you by my side,
what injury wouldn't heal?
I'm driving.
Your father's sixth concubine wants an abortion.
W-what?
You mean Madam Yanhong?
What did she say?
I feel like...
she's being held against her will
in your house by Mr. Zeng.
She doesn't love Mr. Zeng.
But she can't escape even if she wants to.
She's pitiful.
But Mr. Zeng
can never know about this.
If he finds out...
would he kill Yanhong?
Do all the men in your gang
treat women this way?
Yeah, we all do.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I was just teasing you.
I was just kidding.
Let go.
Don't be mad anymore.
Alright.
I just like girls like you.
Eyes on the road. Why are you looking at me?
