I want to become someone like him.
Let's see what you're made of.
Who are you?
You are Sang Bo.
We're not on the same side.
I will figure you out.
I'll let you in on a secret.
He doesn't know the meaning of losing.
Where have you been for eight years?
I don't wrongly accuse good men.
Good and evil are two sides of the same coin.
Shoot me so you can gain their trust.
Do you know what I've done?
I trust you more than anyone else does.
I love who you are now.
I don't care about your past.

What's going on?
What is this about, Shuai Shuai?
- I don't know. - You don't know?
I really don't know.
She even wants to talk in private.
Is Li Wan going to cause some trouble or something?
- I can't say for sure. - Why?
She could push Guang Zi into the swimming pool.
What for?
If she can't be with him while alive, she can be with him in death.
Don't joke about death.
I'm just kidding.
Based on my understanding of President Li
I wouldn't put anything past her.
Didn't you say you have something to tell me?
What you call love is one-sided at best.
Because you don't actually love Liu Ziguang that much.
That's bullshit! How can you say I don't love him?
I love Liu Ziguang! I love him! I love him! I love him!
If you love him, you would want him to be happy
instead of destroying his happiness!
Guang Zi.
Can I...
make one last request of you?
What is it?
Hold me tightly.
Just for five seconds.
Five.
I declare that I am now officially pursuing Hottie Guang!
Four.
Three.
I also like him.
I won't give up.
When are you going to gaze at me with the same affection you show Nana Rong?
Two.
Some relationships are once in a lifetime.
If you miss out on it...
You won't get another chance.
One.
True love is holding back
understanding, and helping each other accomplish their aims.
Do you understand that?
All right.
Thank you.
From now on...
Go do what you want to do.
I will give you and Nana Rong my blessings.
I'm letting go.
Because I love you.
What angel were you talking about?
Nothing.
I was just talking with your dad about a donation to the Angel Charity.
So secretive.
Doesn't that look like angel?
Why would you say it's angel?
There's a description of it in the information sent from Interpol.
Don't jump to conclusions.
There are plenty of things in the world that look the same.
Captain Han, the results are out. It's ecstasy.
- Ecstasy? - Yes.
Its main component is MDMA.
You wouldn't believe me when I said you were being paranoid.
Can you drop this now?
If she were to find out, we would have trouble on our hands.
Who find out about what?
What are you two doing here?
Hey, Hu Rong.
You can go out. I'll watch the restaurant.
Okay.
Where's the boss?
I gave him a call and told him to be out.
Come, sit.
What's going on?
I have several questions for you today.
If you can give me an explanation, I'll grill some meat for you.
If you can't, you won't be stepping out the door.
Young girl, you're making this seem so serious. Just tell me what it is.
I know you've always been extra protective of me
and I do think of you as an older brother.
I don't feel as if I've ever let you down.
Except for the fact that I like Liu Ziguang.
But, Han Jin...
Why did you keep something so important from me?
Wait, Rong Rong. What do you mean? What am I keeping from you?
We're both cops.
I can't keep anything from you.
Likewise, you have no hope of keeping anything from me.
I'm really not keeping anything from you. When have I ever kept you in the dark?
- No? - I'm really not!
Then swear on your life.
If you're lying to me, you'll be run over when you leave.
Do it.
Did your dad tell you--
Why are you bringing up my dad? It has nothing to do with him.
Did your mom--
It's my dad, then my mom. Do you really think you're their godson?
In that case, there really is nothing I'm keeping from you.
- I'm going to make skewers. - Get back here! Sit down.
What do you want?
You won't talk? Fine, I'll talk.
I'll remind you. Scar!
Scar? What about him? Didn't we already catch him?
I know he's been arrested.
Why did you tell me the pills are ecstasy when they clearly came out to be angel?
Did I say that? How come I don't have any recollection?
I'll ask you again.
Has a task force been formed against angel?
No such thing. Don't make things up.
Swear it on your life.
Yes, the few of us did form a small task force.
Which few?
- Not many. Just a few. - Names.
Your dad, Deputy Director General Song, and me.
Just the few of us.
The few of you are called a task force?
Exactly. That's why we're called Task Force S.
Okay, got it! Let's grill skewers now.
Forget it.
Have a good day!
Whatever.
Task force.
Hou Sihai been secretly engaged in drug trafficking.
We now know this drug named angel originates from outside our borders
and was brought into Jiangnan and Jiangbei
via Hou Sihai's sand transport routes.
In Sihai Commercial Trade's accounts
we discovered business dealings with a Thai company named Tiger.
We speculate that this Thai company is likely Hou Sihai's supplier.
Notify our superiors.
Notify Interpol
and request their assistance in investigating this Tiger Co.
In addition, Hou Sihai's case and the angel case are now linked.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
We also have another lead.
This lighter was found on Hou Sihai.
We've begun searching for manufacturers of this lighter.
Our conclusion is that Hou Sihai must've visited a high-end club or hotel
before his death.
Xiao Zhao is looking through surveillance feeds.
I believe we will have new leads soon.
Director General Hu, Deputy Director General Song.
If Hou Sihai's case and the angel case are linked
what should we do about Hu Rong who was in charge of Hou Sihai's case?
She also knows we've formed Task Force S.
Report.
Hu Rong requests permission to join Task Force S.
How did you find out about Task Force S?
Captain Han told me.
You two come with me.
Rong Rong.
You can save your breath. It won't work.
Sir, I am speaking to my superior as a police officer.
Major cases are not child's play.
You think you could join as you please?
If you're aware that you're a police officer
then you should obey your orders.
I remember you once told me not to have a fixed opinion of others.
Sir, Hu Rong is just doing this for the case.
Her heart is in the right place.
Hu Rong, this is a major case.
You need to hone your skills further first.
Maturity is only revealed under the right circumstance.
I believe this is the right opportunity for me.
Han Jin, get back to work. I need to speak to her alone.
Yes, sir.
Rong Rong.
Come.
Rong Rong, you are young and inexperienced.
If anything goes wrong, the consequences would be dire.
I remember you once said
it is a police officer's duty to see a case through to the end.
Please allow me to present an analysis of Hou Sihai's case and the angel case.
If my analysis proves helpful, please allow me to join Task Force S.
If not, I will give up on my own.
Go ahead.
We discovered angel in Hou Sihai's warehouses.
Sihai Commercial Trade had suspicious financial dealings
with the Thai company, Tiger.
As a result, we had reason to believe
Tiger Co. is also connected to angel.
According to what we currently know
we can deduce that Hou Sihai served a role in transportation
in the angel drug network.
His means of transport was by way of his sand transport routes.
Hou Sihai used his sand transport
as a cover for his drug trafficking activity.
This explains why
Hou Sihai and Liu Ziguang went to war over the sand business.
Liu Ziguang opened a sand plant
and inadvertently encroached on Hou Sihai's sand transport routes.
This made Hou Sihai uneasy
and that is why he was so committed to fighting Liu Ziguang.
And then?
And then...
Hou Sihai's rash and extreme actions caused angel to be exposed.
In order to save their own skin
Hou Sihai's supplier murdered Hou Sihai to keep his mouth shut.
I believe our next focus in this investigation should be
finding out who Hou Sihai's supplier is.
And what is the real face of Tiger Co.?
Your analysis is rational.
And then?
I believe we must beware of alerting the enemy.
We ought to take two steps.
First, continue the investigation for Hou Sihai's murderer.
Second, I believe we should seek assistance from Interpol
and work together to uncover Hou Sihai's supplier
and take out the angel drug network.
That's a good idea.
You're quite bold.
You're not entirely correct.
But you have made progress.
So...
Can I join Task Force S?
I promise I won't act willfully.
I will obey all orders.
All right, okay.
Thank you, Dad.
- One more thing. - Tell me.
Follow your given arrangements and obey your superior's orders.
Be careful.
Yes, sir.
These are all the clues and evidence that Task Force S has.
By the way, there is someone I must introduce to you now.
He is our undercover agent.
Officer Huang Zhenwu.
He is also my mentor.
He is also Director General Hu's old comrade.
He used to work in Jiangbei.
Over 20 years ago, he responded to an appeal by higher authorities
and was transferred to the front lines of Yunnan Province's drug enforcement.
Eight years ago, I graduated from the police academy.
Director General Hu recommended that I train under Huang Zhenwu.
That was when he became my mentor.
After I returned to Jiangbei, he discovered a new drug, angel.
In order to track down angel
he went undercover outside of our borders by himself.
We lost contact with him several months ago.
His whereabouts are unknown to this day.
How come I get the feeling that I've seen him before somewhere?
I hope Officer Huang can return safely.
We all hope so too.
You just joined our task force.
You must be mindful of your own safety.
I'm back!
You're finally back.
Sorry, Dad. I forgot.
You celebrate two birthdays a year. I really can't remember when I'm busy.
I'm not mad.
But why do you celebrate two birthdays?
I'm a man with many stories.
I'll tell you in the future.
Come.
Wish me a happy birthday.
I have to do this every year.
Happy birthday, Dad.
Do it properly.
Happy birthday, Dad! I love you.
I'm going to light the candle.
Hello?
Okay, I know. I'll be there soon.
Dad, I'm sorry. I have work.
- I have to go, Mom. - Be safe.
I'm sorry I can't celebrate with you. I love you.
Happy birthday. Bye.
Be careful!
Zhenwu, it's your birthday today.
Work suddenly came up for her.
Where are you?
We've discovered that
this lighter was custom-made for Golden Glory Resort in Jiangnan.
All right, we don't have time to lose.
Pull up surveillance feeds near Golden Glory
and look for any signs of Hou Sihai.
- Get going. - Yes, sir.
Boss, Interpol is investigating Tiger Co.
Tiger Company?
So it's Lisa who is Hou Sihai and Mei Jie's supplier.
Let them investigate.
A cicada can escape by shedding its skin.
Let Lisa take the blame for me.
Zoom in.
Sure enough, he was there.
This was just sent over from the Jiangnan office.
Report this to Director General Hu immediately
and notify the Jiangnan bureau.
Okay.
Here are your 15 skewers. Enjoy.
Hey, Guang Zi.
- How's Fatty doing? - Pretty good.
- Is he fatter or thinner? - A little chubbier.
He gained weight again? No woman will want him now.
I told him that Authentic Flavor and the sand plant are doing well
and I told him about some of your messes.
Why did you talk about me? Did you tell him about you and Xiao Hong?
- I did. - You did?
Did he cry or smile?
Of course he smiled. He was so happy.
You bought so many groceries.
Are you planning on rewarding me tonight for all my hard work?
Love sure puts a man in high spirits.
Here.
Not too salty and not too bland. Just right.
How is it?
It's so good!
Guang Zi, why are you making me try every dish? Why not you?
I burned my tongue.
He's really putting his heart into this.
- Xiao Zhao! - Yes, Guang Zi?
Deliver these to Uncle Guo.
- Don't let it go cold. Hurry. - Okay!
Time to eat?
- Where's mine? - Your what?
My food.
- Didn't you get to eat just now? - Wasn't that just a sample?
- You still got to eat it. - Are you kidding me?
- Who are these for? - Xiao Hong.
My gosh. Do you take me for a guinea pig?
What are you doing? You're acting like a thief.
My cooking is too delicious. I'm afraid your coworkers will steal it.
Eat quickly.
Try this.
Can I get chopsticks?
Use this for now.
You even have special instructions.
It's passable.
- Want a piece? - No, I'm not eating.
How's the egg?
It's a bit salty.
You try it.
Xiaoshuai said it was fine!
Try it.
Isn't it salty?
It is a bit salty. Have some soup.
- What's that smell? - It's rank?
Smell it for yourself.
Is someone keeping all the food to herself?
You want to try some?
I don't plan on sharing any with him.
Liu Ziguang, that's mean. You owe me a dinner.
Here, have some soup.
No, thanks. I have to take this.
- Don't drink this. It's gone bad. - Hello?
Your cooking actually isn't that impressive.
Okay, I understand.
Hurry it up. We have work.
- I should go. My superiors are waiting. - Finish eating first.
I have to go.
[Jiangnan]
Golden Glory is a high-end resort in Jiangnan.
It's located at the city outskirts and it is highly exclusive.
Next slide.
[Mei Jie]
The woman in this photo is named Mei Jie, the owner of Golden Glory.
She handles matters surreptitiously and is very astute.
According to what we know so far
Hou Sihai was hiding out in Mei Jie's Golden Glory
in the 48 hours before his death.
At that point, Hou Sihai was already a wanted criminal nationwide
but not only did Golden Glory allow Hou Sihai to stay
the hotel receptionists did not register him.
Golden Glory's irregular behavior is most suspicious.
While investigating angel
we learned Hou Sihai played a role in transportation of the drug.
So who supplies angel? Who murdered Hou Sihai?
We have sufficient reason to believe
Golden Glory has a certain degree of connection
to Hou Sihai's case and the angel case.
We were able to win over an employee in Golden Glory.
Other than some basic information she was able to provide
we don't have much progress on anything else.
Deputy Mayor Hu and Deputy Director General Song, if we want to determine
whether Golden Glory is directly connected to Hou Sihai's case
we must not make any big waves with our investigation
for fear of giving ourselves away.
We discussed this
and want to send an agent to infiltrate Golden Glory
and conduct a secret investigation.
However, we currently don't have a suitable candidate.
What requirements would the ideal candidate have to meet?
We need a young female officer who has never before been seen in Jiangnan
disguise herself as a customer service attendant.
Ideally, she looks pleasant, is quick-thinking
and has strong investigative skills.
It would be best if she has mastery of combat skills
so she'll be able to deal with unexpected and dangerous circumstances.
The employee I mentioned earlier can help get our agent in.
Sirs, I am Hu Rong from the Crime Unit of Jiangbei Public Security Bureau.
I was in charge of Hou Sihai's case.
Therefore, I have the best understanding of the case.
I graduated with outstanding distinction from the police academy
and am well-trained.
I am proficient in all sorts of software and hardware.
Please approve me for this mission. I guarantee I will complete the mission.
I think Officer Hu Rong is suited for the job in many respects.
She can be considered as a candidate.
Chief Wang, what do you think?
No. I am Hu Rong's captain. I do not approve.
Director General Hu, what do you think?
Chief Wang, Captain Xu, in regards to Golden Glory and Hou Sihai's case
the Jiangnan bureau will have the Jiangbei bureau's full cooperation.
However, on the matter of the candidate for an agent
please allow us some more time for deliberation.
I've been on this case the longest.
I know the case details inside out.
I also fit all the requirements.
Nobody else in the Jiangbei bureau is a better candidate than I am.
I don't approve.
I recommend Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai is too young and inexperienced.
I have a recommendation for consideration.
I believe Xiao Lu of Team Two is a better fit.
Xiao Lu is too old.
She doesn't meet the standard.
All your recommendations are no better than I am.
You'll let them go, but not me? Why?
Hu Rong, this is a major case.
We must be very careful in choosing a candidate.
So stop insisting on this. This is an order.
Commissioner Hu.
Why don't you state your opinion?
You can go.
Yes, sir! I promise I will complete the mission.
I have something personal to say.
Don't tell my mom about this undercover business when you get home.
You can decide what excuse to make up.
You're letting Rong Rong go undercover? Are you crazy?
I feel apprehensive every time she has field work
afraid she'll get injured.
Now you're letting her go undercover?
What were you thinking?
Aren't you afraid something will happen to her?
How will you explain to Zhenwu then? How?
I only agreed to let her go after careful consideration.
Back when Rong Rong applied to the police academy
I had only given her permission because Zhenwu expressed support for her.
You know Zhenwu.
He would definitely support Rong Rong this time too.
You've read Zhenwu's letter.
I'll read it to you again.
Come.
"Old Hu, I received the photo."
She's grown tall and fair.
She's a grown lady now.
A while ago, I kept having dreams.
I always dreamed of Rong Rong, and mostly of her as a child.
When I woke up, I once again couldn't remember how she looked.
"Don't laugh at me when I tell you this."
"I gazed at this photo the whole night."
"I memorized her expression, her motion, and clothing."
"She is our daughter."
And she's choosing the same profession as ours.
I'm unable to see her
but when I think that the three of us
will one day be fighting for the same cause in different locations
I am filled with energy.
"I hope she will be brave"
"and be kindhearted like you and your wife."
"My greatest wish still is returning soon to see my child."
"And thanking you two in person."
"Take care, Old Hu. Give my regards to your wife."
"Zhenwu."
Even if Zhenwu approves, I won't.
Zhenwu is a hero.
I respect and admire him from the bottom of my heart.
So when he brought his child to us
I took Rong Rong in without hesitation.
Since he's placed Rong Rong in our care
then she is my daughter.
Besides listening to his opinion when it comes to Rong Rong...
Shouldn't you also listen to mine?
Yes. Don't be so worked up.
All these years, in order to protect and care for Rong Rong
we didn't even have children of our own.
I want nothing more than to give her all my love.
Rong Rong is my daughter.
I can yield on anything, but not this time.
I can't let my daughter be put at risk.
I understand what you're saying.
She isn't your flesh and blood
but she's even dearer to you than if she were.
You have a mighty heart.
Rong Rong requested this herself.
She is also the most suitable candidate.
She and Zhenwu are brave and like to stand up for justice.
We should be proud of her for this.
Don't dramatize how dangerous this operation is.
We will have continuous monitoring.
We'll be coordinating from the outside
and have tabs on her at all times in order to keep her safe.
Besides, she's such a clever kid and highly-trained.
She'll be fine.
How can you say that?
This operation is already set. It can't be changed.
She even warned me not to tell you.
Don't let it slip when she gets home later.
I'm going to knead dough.
She said she wants dumplings when she gets home from work.
I'll leave you to your thoughts.
The dumplings are ready.
Be careful, it's hot.
I got it with my first dumpling! Look at how lucky I am.
It's our family tradition.
It's a ritual to ensure safety on a trip away from home.
Ensure safety.
All right, next dish.
No, it's okay. It's still warm. Let's eat.
Another one?
Your mom added extra.
She doesn't eat much.
I was afraid she wouldn't get one, so I added more.
I'll eat more.
Dad, Mom, here.
You eat too.
Okay.
