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

Today, Uncle Kun said that if I don't settle down...

even he would have suspicions about me, never mind the police.

Yuan, could it because you don't have parents or other family

never mind a girlfriend?

You've been laundering money for him for the past two years.

Is that why he has suspicions about you now?

He sent a package of drugs to Dou Dou as a warning to you?

- It wasn't a warning. - Then what was it?

It was so the police would arrest me.

To have the police arrest you?

That doesn't do him any good.

Of course it does.

This would allow for the fall auction to be postponed

and for the blame to be pushed onto Dazang.

It would only work if I was under constant surveillance.

So Uncle Kun sent crystal meth to Dou Dou through Chang Zhi Yuan

to remove any suspicions about you by shifting the blame to Dazang

and to lure Dou Dou to your side to tie you down.

He definitely has suspicions about you.

This topic ends here.

You and I are going to pretend we don't know anything.

What about Dou Dou?

As long as we don't expose the truth, it seems she'll be safe for now.

Chairman Jin, we noticed you came into contact

with a female attendant several times last night.

Where is she?

I don't know how to answer you.

I remember I didn't request any service last night.

Nobody move! Don't move!

- Don't move! - What are you doing?

Don't move!

Don't move!

I remember I went to the restroom.

I heard a lot of commotion outside

so I stepped out and saw that everybody was fighting.

Everybody was rushing outside and I was swept along by the crowd.

- I am police! - Don't move!

Behave! Don't move!

I had forgotten about my bag.

Then...

But as far as I can remember...

I didn't see this female attendant you speak of.

In the surveillance tapes, we saw you with this woman.

You two left together.

This woman is involved in a major case.

Could it be that everybody was leaving through that door

and she happened to be next to me when I exited?

I remember I left by myself when I exited.

Then I drove home.

You said you're the Narcotics Division. Does this case have to do with drugs?

How could something like this happen at such an upscale establishment?

Sorry, we cannot disclose too many details about the case.

Uncle Kun, wasn't the move to report the package

to make Jin Yuan miss the fall auction?

But what if that invites trouble?

In our line of work, is there a day when we don't court danger?

With Chang Zhi Yuan, the trouble will be held at bay.

I took a gamble on the police.

To be honest...

I really had a scare when she ran off.

I was afraid all our efforts were wasted.

When you told me...

she went to the train station...

I thought, good, she must be going to find Jin Yuan.

As long as she went to Jin Yuan

we would still be in control of the situation.

There was merely a delay in the time frame of the arrest.

That police officer was also following her.

We really couldn't step in.

No matter what hiccups happened along the way...

I believed that as long as she knew where Jin Yuan was, she would go to him.

Jin Yuan wouldn't have the heart to watch

the woman he loves be subjected to an injustice.

There's nothing you can't predict. Here.

The fish are biting!

If we go fishing, it's for big fish.

Whether it is fleeing midway

or Western Han dynasty bamboo slips...

they all seemed like disruptions to the plan

but it all turned out for the best.

Please explain, Uncle Kun.

Nobody would want his beloved to follow him down a path of no return.

Let's take this fish for example.

If I insist on capturing it in my hands

it will only think of how to escape.

But after a series of misunderstandings and brushes with death...

it'll be obedient.

Tan Dou Dou won't want to return to Beijing.

It'll then be difficult for Jin Yuan to stay away from his old flame.

Dad, I'm home.

Welcome back.

Why are you so late? Didn't you have the day shift?

Yes, I was about to leave

when a case came in of attempted suicide from drinking pesticides.

Geez.

Look, I bought a new tool. What do you think?

I take care of you while you take care of these plants.

You're pruning them whenever you have time.

You're taking care of me?

I made porridge for you. There are also two different dishes inside.

Dad, you're the best! I'm starving. I only had a glass of milk today.

Go eat.

Dad, you're not eating?

I already ate. Go ahead and eat.

Okay.

By the way, did you make time on Friday?

Friday?

What's happening on Friday?

The 17th. What do you think?

You could've just said the 17th.

I already made arrangements.

If no emergencies come up, we'll go visit your mom together.

It's been nearly 17 years.

Time sure flies.

Yes, when Mom first passed away, I thought I'd never grow up.

It's been hard on you all these years.

By the way, have you gotten a response yet to your application to study abroad?

It won't be that fast. It's only been days.

That Han Peng really...

Don't mention him. I already broke up with him.

That's good.

I just didn't like that fellow.

I don't understand how you fell for him in the first place.

Did your school have a shortage of men?

I said not to mention it.

Okay, I won't.

Oh, right. Have you thought about what I talked about last time?

About what?

I'll go with you on a blind date.

I already told you.

Don't bring that up again.

Dad, I'm serious.

It's been 17 years. I'm already grown up.

Shouldn't you find a partner?

Xin Yue.

Don't you know the place your mom has in my heart?

Don't you know what your mom means to me?

Don't bring this up again.

Mom left too early.

Put this in your room.

It can purify the air. Don't forget to water it.

Okay.

Oh, right. Qiao Liang asked me out to dinner.

Who? Qiao Liang?

Qiao Liang?

Why would he ask you out?

I paid his hospital bill for him.

He said he wanted to thank me. He even invited Xiao Mao.

He's always up to something.

That's the gist of it.

Chief Meng, I did behave poorly while working on this case.

I will accept any disciplinary action.

Yes.

I accept the criticism, Chief Meng.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

That's how it'll be handled?

How else can it be handled?

At worst, I'll just suffer disciplinary action.

If I stay in line from now on, it won't affect me much.

Tan Dou Dou is a woman.

If she goes to prison for a year for obstruction of justice

she'll have a permanent record.

She's still so young. I'll just let it go.

You do have some compassion.

I'm nothing like you. Go to sleep.

Okay, you can go.

I can leave?

Officer Xu, do you have lipstick or lip gloss?

Why?

My ex-boyfriend is picking me up.

I want to freshen up, so I don't look so pale.

I don't have any with me. Come with me to my office.

Everything ready?

- Yes, she can leave now. - Okay, come on.

Officer Qiao.

Thank you.

No need. I was only doing my job.

Come on.

I heard you're going to be disciplined.

I should take responsibility for my mistakes.

It'll serve as a reminder to be more careful about what I say and do.

However, I still have to say something you might not like to hear.

Go ahead.

Never mind.

Don't leave me hanging. Just spit it out.

My intuition tells me there's something wrong with your ex-boyfriend.

You should stay away from him.

Qiao Liang, you're at it again.

He's no longer a suspect.

I just had to say it. I trust my intuition.

It's okay. I also trust my intuition.

Mine tells me the exact opposite of yours though.

All right, you two don't have to walk me out. Go back inside.

Tan Dou Dou, I have to say it again.

Your boyfriend is really--

You could say we're somewhat friends since we made it from Beijing to Haibin.

Now that I'm leaving, can't you just wish me well?

Okay. I hope your intuition is right.

Thank you, Officer Qiao.
