=Episode 13=
Madam Lin, all the brothers have arrived.
I'm worried that even if we hand over the ledger,
Song Zhichu still won't let Lin Yun go.
Take the brothers and wait at the police station entrance.
If you don't see Lin Yun and me come out,
then bring the brothers and storm in.
No matter what, we must bring Lin Yun back today.
Madam Lin.
Are you really ready to give up the ledger for the boss?
Right now, nothing is more important than Lin Yun's life.
Brothers!
Yes!
Let's go.
What wind blew Madam Lin here today?
I brought the ledger.
Release Lin Yun.
No rush.
This year's new tea. Have a taste.
Cut the nonsense. Where is Lin Yun?
With a temper like yours,
how did you survive in Huaying Brothel?
None of your business.
I'll take the ledger.
But if you want me to release Lin Yun,
impossible.
Stop dreaming.
Despicable rat.
I was right about you.
Ungrateful woman.
Believe it or not, I can take your life right now.
Didn't expect
Chief Song to be a mad dog that only barks at women.
For Lin Yun, you're not even afraid of death.
Outside, a whole group of Chengyun Society aren't afraid either.
Why should I be?
You, a lowly woman from Huaying Brothel,
really think you're a boss's wife?
Still better than a coward hiding behind his father.
If you insist on not releasing Lin Yun,
then we'll fight to the death.
Fight to the death, is it?
With those Chengyun Society scumbags?
I can wipe out Chengyun Society today, so what?
Young master.
Master is furious. He wants you immediately.
I'll deal with you later.
Coming.
Father.
Take off your dogskin.
Kneel.
Father!
What?
My words don't matter anymore?
How did I warn you previously?
You must not let the opium matter blow up.
Commander Jin already called.
At this critical moment of the election,
everyone knows you're dealing opium.
If this isn't handled well,
my bid for provincial chairman is finished.
If not for Lin Yun scheming against me, how would the opium trade be exposed?
Look at your pathetic self.
Do you look anything like my son?
I've planned for so long
all for the governor's seat.
But now the whole city is in chaos.
And you can't even handle someone as insignificant as Lin Yun.
What can I count on you for in the future?
Do you admit you were wrong?
Were you wrong?
Release Lin Yun immediately.
Haven't you thought about it?
If he didn't have something up his sleeve,
would he have been caught so easily?
Idiot.
Bring that mangy dog up here.
Lin Yun.
You shouldn't have traded the ledger for me.
Song Zhichu.
Today's events,
I, Lin Yun, will remember.
Get lost now.
(Lin Yun, just you wait.)
Song Zhichu didn't let you go because of the ledger, right?
You brought all the brothers and surrounded the police station.
Would Song Zhichu
dare refuse to let me go?
You traded the ledger for me, do you not regret it?
No, I don't.
You hate Song Zhichu that much?
I do.
I've thought it through.
A single ledger won't be enough to bring Song Zhichu down.
But it can make you owe me a huge favor.
So I'm not losing anything.

Boss.
Come back.
You two talk.
Boss.
Where did the dirt on Song Ming you gave me come from?
Thanks to that ledger Liang Yi found.
It proves everything I suspected was right.
All these years, Song Ming has been using Rong City's money
to buy guns from Yunzhou.
Song Ming should be contacting us soon.
He already has.
He wants to meet you tomorrow night.
After playing games with Song Zhichu for so many years,
it's finally Song Ming's turn.
Boss, for your sake,
Madam Lin even gave up the ledger that could've taken Song Zhichu down.
Are you really planning not to tell her anything?
You don't understand.
I absolutely cannot let her
risk her life for me ever again.
Fine, fine.
I don't understand, only you understand.
Boss, he's here.
He came early.
Looks like he's very interested in his gift.
My dear nephew, long time no see.
Come, sit.
Zhichu is young and impulsive.
He acts recklessly.
I apologize on his behalf.
No need.
The one who offended me was Song Zhichu,
not you, Mayor Song.
Zhichu is still my son.
It's my fault for not controlling him well.
Mayor Song, you truly dote on your son.
There's nothing I can do.
Parents all over the world are the same.
I heard that opium den
was shut down by you?
That's right.
I just hope you
won't blame me for meddling, Mayor Song.
Not at all.
Rong City has banned opium for so many years.
Yet someone still dared to sell it on the black market.
You've saved the entire city.
How could I blame you?
Good.
By the way.
The documents you gave me earlier
are not full set, right?
Everything on here records
the scandals of every candidate except you.
(The Chen family repaid all their bank loans on time.)
I believe with this information,
the position of provincial chairman is yours.
You're very thoughtful.
But,
did you really give me all the candidates' scandals?
Come in.
Boss.
My subordinate made a mistake.
I checked just now and found
there was still a falsified document.
(Opium Transport Contract) If you don't mind,
(Party A: Song Ming; Party B: Li Transport Bureau) I'll destroy it right away.
If it's fake,
then destroy it.
(Opium Transport Contract)
I'm in a good mood today.
Come, let's drink another round.
You're about the same age as Zhichu,
but you're far more steady than he is.
Mayor Song, you flatter me.
After all, I'm not like Song Zhichu
who has such an impressive father.
I have high hopes for you.
Boss.
That kick of yours was brutal.
And Song Ming, what a good actor.
He pretended as if he really didn't know about the opium.
If he wants to be provincial chairman,
then he must pretend he knows nothing about it.
He's really ruthless.
By doing this, isn't he clearly making it so that if anything happens,
Song Zhichu will take the fall for him?
Your father is really something else.
He's not my father.
I'll never acknowledge him, not even in death.
