Love's Lies (Zhen Ai De Huang Yan / 真爱的谎言)

We've been waiting all morning. How come we haven't seen anything?

Could it be false intel and we're waiting for nothing?

What's the hurry? It's still early.

I'll have you know, my longest stakeout was three days and three nights.

How can I not be anxious?

I was just disciplined last night.

I thought I could redeem myself and turn things around.

It's good that you want to turn things around

but you'll have to loosen up if you want to redeem yourself.

Patience.

Hello?

- You have the jelly? - Yes.

Good.

Exit the expressway and from Qinghe Bay take Qinghai Road to Haibin.

Take Qinghai Road?

What's going on? Won't that be a big detour?

There's something happening on the expressway. You won't make it back.

Understood.

Director Liu, what are your orders?

There's been a change in plans.

The truck transporting drug precursors has changed its route

and is taking Qinghai Road into the city.

Head there with your team immediately.

Understood.

Changed routes?

Director Liu's intel probably comes with good reason.

Attention, all units.

The situation has changed.

Head for Qinghai Road immediately for interception.

Nobody has made a call yet?

No.

This doesn't add up.

I still think this isn't right.

What's wrong?

Xiao Mao.

Don't you think the plan changed too suddenly?

No matter how I think about it, it feels like someone is creating a diversion.

Yes.

We must be falling for the drug smuggler's diversion.

What are you doing?

I'm heading back. The drug smuggler will take the expressway.

If you're in the mood to rebel, can you not drag me down with you?

It definitely won't be a mistake.

Mao Xiao Xin, trust me. I'll get you a first-class merit.

Not happening. Forget about talking you out of it.

Captain, Captain--

What are you doing? Will you calm down?

Mao Xiao Xin, can't you trust me once?

Trust me and we'll be able to solve this case today.

Even if I believe you, we have to report to the higher-ups first.

There's no time. It'll be too late by the time we convince them.

Listen, don't worry about a thing.

I'll be responsible for all consequences.

Keep your eyes open.

Qiao Liang, Qiao Liang.

That truck has a Heilongjiang license plate.

Didn't Director Liu say the shipment is coming from the northeast?

Yes, he did.

Let's go take a look.

Go!

Hello, Commissary?

Director Liu, a call has been detected.

- Who is it? - Commissary Qin.

Qiao Liang, did you go?

Commissary, we've discovered the drug smuggler!

We were tricked! He stayed on the expressway!

Commissary, he's right. We are sure. It's a Heilongjiang license plate.

We got out at the toll booth and approached him.

He saw us and ran!

Qiao Liang and Xiao Mao, you two have already defied orders.

If you act without permission again, there will be consequences.

Captain Huang, this isn't false intel!

This is definitely a drug smuggler!

I will bear all consequences!

Captain Huang, please send backup!

Director Liu?

Answer and tell him the good news.

Director Liu, we almost have the drug smuggler!

I'm ordering you to return to your unit immediately.

Why, Director?

Enough. You're to return to your unit immediately. This is an order!

No buts!

- What do we do? - What do you mean?

Director Liu said to return to our unit. Didn't you hear him?

I didn't hear it.

Hello, Director Liu?

A Beijing officer has caught up to me.

I know. Don't panic.

I already ordered them to return to their unit.

Okay.

Mao Xiao Xin.

Tell me the truth. Do you think there are drugs in that vehicle?

Probably. There better be.

Okay.

That's all it takes.

Don't worry. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility.

Sit tight.

What's going on?

Director Liu, they blocked my way.

Then get out and run!

- But... - But what? Hurry and run!

Xiao Mao! Xiao Mao!

Xiao Mao, wake up!

Xiao Mao! Are you okay, Xiao Mao?

Where is he?

He ran. Watch the truck and call for backup. I'll pursue him.

Be careful!

I recall the fight I had seven years ago.

You also brought a first-aid kit and dressed my wounds without a word.

But I remember that it was the other arm.

I don't remember.

I just remember that back then...

I just wanted to see Zhang Ding Bang.

I was thinking of revenge.

Time sure has gone by quickly.

It's been seven years already.

I hated my father ever since I was a child.

I always hid from him.

I basically never experienced any fatherly love.

Until that time.

You dressed my wounds and showed concern for me.

In that moment, I felt I had found someone I could rely on.

For a moment, I wondered...

if that was the feeling...

of having a father.

But, child...

I've disappointed you, haven't I?

No.

If not for you, I would've been long dead.

But look at the life you've lived in these seven years.

It was my own choice. I don't regret it.

Director Liu.

If...

If any misfortune befalls me...

can you promise me something?

You have to keep Dou Dou safe.

Why are you saying this, Jin Yuan?

Fighting against drug trafficking is my mission.

Your safety is also a responsibility I must bear.

Besides, I won't let the situation get to that point.

That's why I have decided...

I need to return.

Return?

You lost the shipment.

How are you going to account for that?

If I don't go back...

Dou Dou will surely die.

Moreover...

There's also our plan to think about.

It's already been seven years.

I can't let all that be in vain.

Even if there is only a one in a million chance of success...

I have to return.

You have to consider this carefully.

That is a foreign island.

If anything does happen, help won't arrive in time.

I know.

There's another thing to consider.

Cai Bing Kun is a very suspicious man.

How will you pass his test?

Are you ready?

If not for you...

I wouldn't be sitting here today.

So no matter what...

I have to go back.

You've decided?

I have.

All right, but I have one request.

Listen carefully, Jin Yuan.

No matter what the circumstances are

staying alive comes first.

Director Liu.

I'm going back.

But not to die.

Director, Director!

I redeemed myself in yesterday's operation, right?

So, don't send me back to Beijing.

You're in such a rush for my recognition of your merits.

No, I just happened to run into you.

- Good morning, Director Liu. - Good morning.

- Qiao Liang. - Good morning, Commissary.

You weren't injured, were you?

No, I'm absolutely fine.

He may seem bold and reckless most of the time

but he really is useful when it matters.

His acute powers of observation came in quite handy.

When Operation Sabre is over, I'll record your merit.

Director Liu.

I think he's quite good at the job.

Why don't we hold off on sending him back?

When did I tell him to leave?

Thank you, Director!

I also have something to report to you.

I think the driver of the truck smuggling drug precursors was Jin Yuan.

Can you be certain?

60 percent sure, I guess.

Are you mentioning this in passing or is this an official report?

If this is an official report, you need to show me evidence.

But generally speaking

transport work is usually done by low-level henchmen.
