Behind Your Smile (浮士德的微笑)

- Come out, Lin Man! - Lin Man, return our money! -

Boss, the prosecutors are on their way here.

Is it late?

- Come out, Lin Man! - Lin Man, return our money!

Boss, what are those?

Hey, look! What are those?

Money! It's money!

Damn it.

Someone leaked the information. Lin Man is getting away.

Boss, who is that?

Granny, here's your money.

It's Lin Man's daughter!

You are Lin Man's daughter.

Jerk!

Return our money!

Return our money!

Tell us where the money is!

Where is your mother?

- I- I don't know! - Where is the suitcase?

The money must be in the suitcase!

Where is the suitcase? There must be money in her suitcase!

Mommy's present!

- What is that? Give it to me! - It's my mommy's!

I am giving it to my mommy!

Give it to me!

Useless thing!

Mommy's present...

Miss, stop picking them up.

They will come back and beat you to death. Quickly run!

~noise

fast, fast fast!

Go round the corner.

Hey! She's getting away!

Stop!

Stop!

Go after her! Quick!

Sorry, please don't chase me out of the car.

Please... help me.

Mister, excuse me.

Did you see a girl with blue shorts running this way?

I have got nothing to do with your search. Why knock on my window?

Let's go.

Behind Your Smile - Episode 1 -

You can sit up now.

Okay...

Thank you.

Your mobile phone...

Qianni?

I am sorry for getting into your car suddenly just now.

Do you live nearby?

That...

Your hair.

Oh...

It's not for you to drink.

Legs.

I am sorry for dirtying your car.

This is something that's very important to me.

Do you mind if I use your phone?

Thank you.

The person you are calling is not available. Please wait while we try to connect.

We are unable to connect to the number you are calling...

Thank you.

Stop the car here.

What is this place?

You-- you want me to drop off here?

You aren't going to designate a destination, are you?

Oh...

Wait.

Oh... another piece...

Thank you very much.

Oh...

Let's go.

Why is he like that?

What is this place?

I'm sorry.

I am sending you two phone numbers. Check them for me.

One of the numbers should be Lin Man's.

Yes, it should be. While you're at it, find out the location of its last signal.

Got it.

Don't wait for me. Follow her.

Got it.

Leaving a girl in this place...

isn't it a little too much?

If I had something warm to eat now...

it would be so great.

Since when did my pocket have buns?

Ah! And it's warm!

Where's my bun?!

Stop!

- Are you--? - I'm not!

- It's okay, I know-- - I'm really not!

-I knew that you were a victim of domestic violence when I first saw you.

I am really not her daughter!

Domestic abuse?

It hurts, right?

Looking at how dirty your clothes are, you were probably thrown to the floor right?

Give back the money! Give it!

Your hair was pulled?

It's too much.

And your knees...

they made you kneel, right?

And the most important part!

The torture is so unbearable that

you couldn't care less and ran off barefooted. Isn't that right?

The conclusion is you are a victim of domestic violence.

I...

I've never met--

It's not a big deal!

Who can help you if you don't find help from the outside?

Actually, it's not--

I know, I already know.

This needs courage.

What I mean is--

It's okay, don't say anything.

Here. Put this on first.

Here.

Put them on.

They may not fit, but if you injure your feet later, it won't be good.

So, just wear them. Change them when you find something more appropriate.

Wear it. It's no problem.

But then, you...

Me?

Look at how calloused mine are. I don't know if you'll believe it,

but I could be someone who could travel the world.

I'll take you down the mountain. Where do you want to go?

No, I'm not heading down.

I... I have relatives nearby.

Later, I'll go find them.

Nearby?

Yes, nearby.

I only have this much on hand.

Take it first.

Oh, no it's okay, really.

Take it.

I'm in a hurry to deliver goods. It's already late, so I have to go first.

You'll be by yourself, so you have to be careful.

Then, I'll leave now.

Remember,

when you have problems, you have to learn how to ask for help.

Don't you know? In this world, there are many people

who will be willing to help you

not just because they are kind, but also because they want to

find the energy to move on in this unknown and chaotic society.

Understand?

Yeah.

- Understand? - Understood.

Okay, good.

Fighting!

Yeah.

Miss, is the water hot?

Yes. It's hot.

Thank you.

It's good then.

Let me tell you...

If you are not pretty enough, no man wants you as a wife...

...someone behaving suspiciously... aware of thieves...

The prosecutors went on a big scale search at home of of Lin Man, the chairman of Leisheng Construction Co.

It was previously rumored that Leisheng was in financial crisis.

Although Lin Man has denied it, this rumor did not come out of nowhere.

Because Lin Man was previously discovered to be involved in illegal transactions and owing staff salary

the authorities are now investigating...

- My mommy's not that! - Lin Man, return our money!

It's strange today. Lin Man and her daughter Lei Xinyu were both spotted at the entrance of their home,

but both of them left before the prosecutors arrived.

So we are not ruling out that there is

an insider who leaked the information that allowed Lin Man

to destroy the evidence in advance.

The prosecutors are appealing...

I'm not...

...for them to come forward to assist in the investigation.

According to our understanding, Lin Man and her only daughter, Lei Xinyu, only have each other...

I'm really not!

Hey, miss, it is obviously you! You are not eating your noodles? -

Hey, miss, it is obviously you! You are not eating your noodles? -

Chairman Tang...

Hello, where are you?

In the office.

The news has already reported it. It's a disappointment.

Maybe.

Doing business has always been like this.

There is no guaranteed win.

Well, shouldn't you change the way that you address me?

Even if you don't take into consideration the help that I have given you,

you have to give this old face some respect, and not let my daughter down.

Chairman Tang, I have some work to do.

We will leave it as that for now.

Don't worry, he'll come.

Even if he comes now, I would already lose face.

Then do you want him to come or not?

I want--!

Going against the thing that you want most is the silliest thing to do in the world.

Mr. Tang, we are going to start soon.

- Okay. - Thank you.
