Which family does this beauty come from?
Are you coming to join me for an intimate bath?
Let's have a bath together!
You really shouldn't have come here.
Don't be shy. Let's have a bath together!
- Good! I like this! - Master, look! Is this pretty?
- Everything looks good on you! - Commander Gu.
Master said this looks good on me.
- Look at mine! - I like this one!
- This one is nice as well. - Master!
Master, look at this.
It's so pretty.
Shut up!
You, you, and you.
A bunch of useless bums.
What have you been doing?
Why are these boxes empty?
Where are all the guns?
Do you use your eyes to listen?
Some guns were sneaked out when they were being stocked.
Some went missing from the warehouse.
They were sneaked out in batches.
But it wasn't obvious.
Only when we looked thoroughly did we discover so many were gone.
Is he too smart or are you too useless?
I'm sorry, Commander!
Commander, sir!
I already learned about this matter a few days ago.
Why didn't you inform me earlier?
Commander, I was afraid to draw attention to us!
I have already started investigating this!
Most of all, I'm worried that you'll get agitated due to anxiety.
Speak up. How is the investigation going?
I've narrowed down the suspects. It's not appropriate to discuss it here.
Blackout any news. Keep investigating.
Yes!
Report!
Speak up!
All the ladies are ready and asking when you're leaving.
Is it the time to discuss hot springs? Tell them to stay home!
Yes!
Come back here! Take my car.
Pick up Dharma Master and his sister.
Take them to the mountains.
Yes!
We already made plans, but why has he changed his mind so suddenly?
It's better that he's not coming.
This car isn't big enough anyway, so it would be too crowded.
The both of us are better alone.
You must be Dharma Master Wu Xin and Miss Yue Ya?
You are...
I am Bai Wen Liu, a friend of Xuan Wu.
You're the one who wishes to buy the villa?
Exactly.
I've heard so much of Dharma Master. It's my pleasure to meet you.
Here I am on business. Little did I expect to find
such a beauty like Miss Yue Ya out in the beautiful suburbs.
This is my business card. We are now acquainted.
Please keep in touch.
Bai Wen Liu...
Master Bai, if we run into monsters or evil spirits in your villa
we will surely be in touch very often.
It's rare that Commander Gu has an educated friend
but he turned out to be so lecherous.
Exactly. Let's go.
My name is Yu Xiao Zhu.
I'm the owner of this Qing Zhu Villa.
I've been waiting here for the three of you for a long time.
Please come in.
Come in, please.
Miss Yue Ya, hot spring villas basically all look like this.
I've seen many of them!
This one can only be said to be quite an ordinary one.
Yes...
It really is warm!
If Miss Yue Ya would like to go to the baths
feel free to use the women's bath.
- Really? - Sure!
What is this house for?
This house is in a quiet location. It's where I live with my wife.
This house has sabotaged the whole layout of the villa.
It stands out too much.
It stands out too much!
That is?
Allow me to explain to you.
Since it's been made known in the newspapers that the villa is to be sold
many friends are interested in buying it.
I then invited them over for viewing.
That is Mr. Lu from Beiping. He arrived this morning.
There are two more guests coming here tomorrow afternoon.
You're quite good at doing business.
Mr. Lu, allow me to make some introductions.
This is...
Mr. Bai!
What brings you here?
I always seem to run into you wherever I go.
You keep lingering around.
You know one another?
He's an illiterate rich man.
You're here to buy such an elegant place?
Shouldn't you consider if you're worthy of it?
If I can afford it, I'm worthy of it.
What has it got to do with social graces?
I'm afraid it's your pocket that isn't full enough.
You're so arrogant.
I'd like to see if you really could take over this villa.
Gentlemen! You must be tired traveling all this way here.
I've prepared fruit and wine to welcome you here.
I hope that you can all settle in soon.
Why don't we continue our conversation after dinner?
She is so beautiful.
Wu Xin, come and have a look!
Here, let's have some tea.
Sure, have some tea. Here.
Mr. Yu, I might be uneducated
but I'm really puzzled when I see this place.
Why are you selling it?
It's said to be haunted.
Calling it haunted might be a bit exaggerated.
This place is in the mountains.
Wild animals might have made noises when they run about
and scared some guests.
It's hard to avoid the rumors.
But those are just some groundless accusations.
Sadly, it has made business hard.
Mr. Yu, the lady in these photos must be your wife.
Why didn't she join us for tea?
That is indeed my wife in those photos.
I'm actually also selling the villa for her sake.
When I used to sing opera in Beiping
I met my wife there.
Well done!
She was my opera fan.
She was still a poor student then.
But she would surely show up whenever I sang "The Broken Bridge."
She wouldn't even leave after the show was over.
Mr. Yu! This is from me!
She never got me flowers or visited me backstage.
What she loved was my performance.
It was "The Broken Bridge" that I performed.
I was actually the one who courted her.
When we took a trip to this mountain
we discovered these hot springs.
I then bought this land and retired from Li Opera House.
I built this Qing Zhu Villa later.
I thought that we would live happily ever after.
But unexpectedly, she was confined to bed shortly after.
Then there were rumors of our villa being haunted.
Customers coming to the villa dwindled gradually.
I was focused on caring for my wife instead of the business.
Once we started getting fewer customers
I couldn't get enough money to buy medication for her.
Therefore, I might as well sell the villa.
Mr. Yu is such a faithful and caring man.
That aside, business is still business.
Mr. Bai is right.
The price of this villa is negotiable.
But I have a small request.
I hope to stay in the house that I built for me and my wife
even after the villa has been sold.
Of course, I can perform opera to attract business.
I can also be a gardener.
I planted and trimmed all the trees and plants in this villa.
I like a man like Mr. Yu who takes sentiment seriously.
You can name your price.
Whatever price you name, I am all out to seal the deal.
I thank Mr. Lu for your admiration.
However, we'll talk about anything but business tonight.
Since we have had a good time
why don't I perform for everyone to add to the good cheer?
Great!
- Pardon my whimsical performance. - Let's have it!
- Mr. Yu sang so well! - I've embarrassed myself.
It's getting late. Please get some rest soon.
We'll discuss the villa after the other two buyers arrive tomorrow.
Mr. Yu, I'm determined to buy it.
I wonder if you'll stil answer so readily when we negotiate the price.
What are you talking about?
Here, after you.
It's all right. The stylus might have dropped onto the record
and started the gramophone.
Let me see you to your rooms first.
This way, please.
It dropped on its own?
This way, please.
Why are there water drops?
It's not raining. How could there be any water?
You keep scaring us.
You seem to be quite rough. Who knew that you're so timid?
There really is water dripping!
Look!
I even heard footsteps.
It might be that it's cold in the mountains and we have hot springs here
so water condensed from the vapor.
Mr. Lu, you don't have to be worried.
As for the sound of footsteps
it must be the echo of ours.
Really?
To be honest, there are rumors of the villa being haunted
