【ENG SUB】In The Name Of Justice EP28 | Zhang Yi / Li Guangjie / Jiang Xin | YOUKU
Cheng Zijian, general counsel of Tianlong Company, has close ties to Wang Yu, Xie Hongfei, and Sun Fei. And he’s Li Renjun’s brother-in-law. I want to take someone, or a company, out of the game. Can you help me? I can make it look like Wan Hai bullied him into selling the hub. In this case alone, you’ve got unlawful detention, assault, forced deal, and extortion. Any one of those
could take Wan Hai down. Together, and it’s game over. Just be straight with me, what do you want? [In the Name of Justice] [Episode 28] So this is the “great” team I built. Dongping’s officials are getting taken in, one after another. They’re knocking on our doors now. And I’m completely in the dark. The Wan Hai case ended up like this, and no one’s told me the truth! And of course,
no one bothered to warn me. If this case blows up, you all know the consequences. Xu, you really think you’ll coast to retirement untouched? And you, Li Renjun, our new prosecutor-general. You think your seat’s secure? If this all goes south, I’ll become a joke across the province. Ms. Lan, maybe we should all take a breath for now. About this matter, I… Sit down. We still don’t know what Sun Fei and Jiang Hongjun did, or if there are more bad apples like them in our ranks. Their selfish actions have seriously damaged the image of Dongping’s entire
political and legal system. All we can do now is wait
for the hammer to fall. Eat. What, do I have to feed you now? Has anyone come by? The investigators? I told you last time, didn’t I? Why are you still obsessing over this? You’re delusional. It’s not happening! Don’t believe me? Go wait by the door and see if anyone actually comes. I just don’t get it. Doesn’t the law matter anymore? Isn’t anyone going to step in? Why is this happening? Why? Well, I get where you’re coming from. You grew up without ever losing, never got tricked, or took a fall. Things just fell into place for you. You think you can always win. But deep down, you should know, it’s because your dad
cleaned up every mess for you; you never even had to know anything. He took care of everything. But that’s changed now, Chao. Your dad’s in prison. The Wan family is fading. You’ve been through a lot
these past two years. It’s time to grow up and face reality. I don’t need anything else, I just want to settle this whole compensation mess. Once that’s done, you are basically off the hook. You can’t just hide here forever. Chao, I’ve been there. I’ve lost before. Take it from me, everyone hits rock bottom sometimes. You’ve got to know when to let go. That’s life. Accept it. Fine. Just tell me,
what am I supposed to accept? What did we ever do wrong? Now that the provincial office
has actually sent people to investigate the incident, if they just catch the one
who set us up, we wouldn’t have to pay a cent. And as for my dad, is he a gangster? If they clear his name, my dad wouldn’t be sitting in there now, right? You’re not a kid anymore! Isn’t it obvious by now? If the higher-ups could
actually fix things, do you think we would be in this mess? Would he still be locked up? What does that tell you? They control everything! The more you push back,
the harder they press. Me pushing back? I’m not the problem here! What did we do wrong? Pushing back? You’re just scared, that’s all. What’s the use of being scared? Scared or not, those people want you dead! If you don’t comply, they’ll destroy you! Then so be it! Like my dad said, better to die on your feet
than live on your knees! So tell me who they are, I’ll confront them myself! Let me deal with them! You’re not going anywhere! Let go of me, you coward! I’ll hit… Hit me! Go ahead! Hit me if you want, better you than them. Come on, hit me! Just listen to me, okay? I’m begging you, please! Don’t go out there! It’s dangerous!… Uncle… I… Chao, stay inside! Let go of me! Let me go! Let go! Let me go! – Chao!
– Let me… Mr. Wan, impressive. Right under my nose
this whole time, huh? Well… Uncle! Is that him? Get him. Chao! Chao, run! Chao, get out! Get him! Chao, run! Stop! Stay there! Go ahead, hit me! Chao! Are you okay? You sure can run, huh? Stop! That’s enough! Come at me! Take them! Sir, wait… Move it! Who sent you? Cut the crap! Get in! Mr. Chen is my friend. You… In the car! Get in! Where are you taking us? Just get in! Move! Wait, man… [Loyal to the Party
Serve the People] So, what brings you here? Work. On what? What’s wrong? You’re not even gonna talk to me now? You know Zhongxing Road? There’s a Jinhai KTV. I just pulled the surveillance footage
from around that area. Jinhai KTV? What case is that for? Still my brother’s case. It’s confirmed now. Jinhai KTV is where my brother actually died. We checked all around it. No useful leads so far. So, what now? I’ll keep digging. Qin Feng, you said your piece
outside my place the other day and then just walked away. Don’t you want to hear my side? You called yourself a coward, but you know what I see? Honestly, I think deep down, you’re a fighter. You just never give yourself any credit. That day, you said you didn’t deserve to like me. But that’s not
for anyone else to decide, it’s up to you. If you can’t believe in yourself, how can you expect anyone else to? That’s my answer. So, nothing you want to say to me? I’m giving you one more chance. Thank you, Jing, for telling me all this. Hopeless idiot. Yanxin, is Zijian home? No, he’s not. He’s swamped at work today. Alright, I’m just outside your place. What’s with you lately? You only show up when Zijian’s gone? You sure you’re my brother? What’s up? Have a seat. Nothing, really. So, how are things with you two lately? We’re fine. He’s been great, just super busy. He didn’t even have time to help me choose a wedding planner. Wedding planner? That’s just the start. I had to pick the venue, the honeymoon location, book every flight and hotel— did it all by myself. So, what’s keeping him so busy anyway? Tianlong’s business, what else? I’m telling you, Zijian is practically running that place. Long relies on him for everything. If you ask me, Tianlong would be lost without him. He’s their future. How’s that? You know, Long’s trying to get into the clean energy business? Zijian and Yun’s connections saved him so much trouble. Yun even introduced him to Wanchuan Mining, got Long’s project moving. Without Zijian, he’d have to start from scratch— even $500 million wouldn’t be enough. So that house of yours is really nothing to worry about. Long just wanted to show some goodwill. Sometimes I wonder if those childhood fevers
fried your brain. Come on, doesn’t it all make sense? That’s not something you “just do” for the sake of it! – Listen to me…
– Hundred million… – Honey.
– Five hundred million! Yun… You’re back already? But you said you’d be busy all day. Things were quiet at work, so I figured I’d come home early
and see you. Renjun’s here. Renjun, what brings you by? I just wanted to see how Yanxin was doing. FYI, Renjun ditched work just to see you. Did you call him over? Nope. He just showed up out of nowhere. Yeah, I just happened to have some free time and wanted to check in. Renjun, I heard you’ve been really busy lately. Why do you say that? Isn’t there a new… What? I need to talk business with Renjun. I’ll go work on my draft. Okay. We’ll talk later. Renjun, they sent in a task force, didn’t they? Pretty well-informed, huh? They’ve taken in two people already. How’d you know? Dongping’s not that big. Renjun. Did they question you? Well… Why do you think they’d question me? I’ve been meaning to reach out to you, but since you’re here, I think the two of us should really talk this through. I believe the task force is here because of the Wan Hai case. Enlighten me, what makes you so sure about that? I can’t figure it out. Just tell me, am I right? Who told you about the task force? Xie Hongfei. Based on what we’ve found, Cheng Zijian has close ties to Wang Yu, Xie Hongfei, and Sun Fei. When did they first start working together? About three years ago. Write that down. Looking at their phone records, after Cheng first reached out to Wang, their relationship clearly got closer. Judging by the frequency and duration of those calls, they seemed to be up to something. And I found something else interesting. [Wen Qin] Wen Qin? [Chief Judge] Chief Judge of First Criminal Division
at Dongping Intermediate People’s Court, and the presiding judge
for the Wan Hai case. That’s right. Apart from Jiang Hongjun and Chen Youcai, Cheng Zijian maintained contact with everyone else involved. Chen Youcai had dealings with Wang Yu, and Jiang Hongjun was linked to Sun Fei. So it’s all connected. Cheng Zijian sits at the center, and the others are all key players in the Wan Hai case. Plus, he’s Li Renjun’s brother-in-law. A fixer in the legal world. Cheng’s background
isn’t all that complicated. He got his master’s and started
at the county prosecutor’s office. About five years ago, he quit, moved to Dongping,
and soon joined Tianlong Company as their general counsel. Right after that, he brought Tianlong in as an investor
and set up his own law firm. Renjun, to be honest, Xie and I get along pretty well. We’ve known each other since our days at the county prosecutor’s office, and got even closer
during the Wan Hai case. Back then, we watched out for each other. It’s just how it is, you get it. Renjun, keep that between us, okay? Your office is handling
the Wan Hai case now, so you gave him the job as Wan Hai’s defense lawyer? He said my case was
dragging on too long. Asked me if I could change a lawyer. I said my lawyer was very good. Why should I change? He ignored me. Unexpectedly, a few days later, Zhang Wenjing suddenly became “a member
of criminal organization”! Next thing I know,
Qiao Zhenxing was dead! About the second autopsy, you were the only person in your Procuratorate that I called. You called Xie Hongfei, and then he… What did Xie Hongfei call you for? I remember it was about the Wan Hai case. What else would we be talking about? Here in Dongping, Mr. Chen also feels like family to me. I see Zijian as my own brother. Actually, today, I wanted to take this chance to apologize. You asked me about this before, and I wasn’t straight with you. It’s been weighing on me ever since. I just couldn’t let it go. You’ve treated me like family, and I think we should be able to talk openly about anything, right? So I want to be straight with you now. Thanks for saying that, Zijian. It means a lot to me. I’ve trusted you more than anyone. That’s why I let you marry my sister. Like you said, we’re family. So, when it comes to certain things, I hope you can level with me. What I really want to know is— what’s the real deal
between you and Chen Shenglong? You’re not just his employee, are you? What kind of guy is he, honestly? Renjun, are you asking that now because the investigators are digging into him? – No!
– They’re suspicious about him? Don’t read too much into it. I did look into him a bit. I just find it strange, his company went from nothing to huge, with all the funding coming from abroad. And as for Chen himself, the more I dig, honestly, the less it adds up. You know what I mean? Renjun, you’re digging hard here, huh? I just don’t get it. Is there something off about them? I’m telling you, don’t overthink it. Let’s look at it from another angle. Like, can I unload that house or not? And my wife’s still helping him
with that mine and all that clean energy stuff. And you’re about to marry Yanxin. Which means, as a family, we’re all mixed up with this businessman. Yun and I, given our jobs… You used to be an official, too, right? We have to be careful, right? With everything happening now, what would you do if you were me? So, Zijian, just tell me the truth. At least give me some peace of mind, okay? Tianlong Company funds him. Yeah. The asset report shows Cheng Zijian’s entire fortune is linked to Tianlong. Nearly every case his firm handles has something to do with Tianlong. He even lives in Dadu Xishan, which was developed by Tianlong. We got a pretty clear picture now. It confirms what you
and Hong Liang suspected. Wang Yu pulled these people together and orchestrated the Wan Hai case just to regain the freight hub. Meanwhile, some officials in Dongping were chasing big anti-gang wins, and ended up helping him,
wittingly or not. What about the mine incident? It was staged. So who was behind it? Once the Wan Hai case was decided, just getting the hub wasn’t enough for Wang Yu, he wanted their mine, too. So he made his move, taking advantage when they were vulnerable. Wan Hai was already crushed by Wang Yu. If Wang wanted the mine, why not just negotiate
with the Wan family? Why stage a disaster and put us onto it? It’s so risky. Maybe the Wan family refused him. But if we’re talking about cost, it’d be way cheaper to deal with the Wan family, not stage a whole mine accident. A lot less risky, too. Mr. Song, you said Cheng made the very first call to Wang, right? Yes. Definitely not Wang calling first? Positive. So let’s consider this possibility, what if the whole “Wan Hai is a gangster” setup wasn’t started by Wang Yu, but by Cheng Zijian? Or even by someone else, someone we haven’t even thought about yet. And Jiang Hongjun and Sun Fei covered up the disaster for this person. Mr. Song, please have the police keep digging into Cheng Zijian, especially that Tianlong Company he works for. Understood. And do it quietly. If we’re right, this person is the key to everything. To catch the big fish, we need to be patient. Got it. You might think Mr. Chen rose to the top overnight. But the truth is, he had a powerful mentor early on. You’ve probably heard of him— Yu Tiancheng. Which “Yu”? Like the legendary emperor Yu. Actually, Mr. Chen told me about this before. He said back in junior high he dropped out and started working for Yu. They’ve been close since he was a teen, over 20 years now. His mentor’s a good guy, got vision and compassion. Even after making it big, he wanted to come back and help Dongping grow. That’s why he set up Tianlong here, for Chen. Every penny came from Yu. Relax, there’s nothing fishy going on. People like you think Chen is this mysterious man, but there’s no mystery here. He got lucky with the right mentor. After years of loyalty, this mentor gave him a chance. That’s why Chen’s where he is today, plain and simple. Got it. Oh, one more thing. About Wang Yu, and his freight hub… A couple of years ago, Chen tried to get his hands on that hub, didn’t he? You were involved in that whole thing, right? Actually, I need to get going. Just remembered I have work to take care of. Alright. My jacket. I’ll have Yanxin see you out. Renjun. You know, it’s a relief to have an honest conversation with you, just like family. I’ll promise you this, as long as Yanxin is happy, I don’t mind
whatever I have to go through. I get what you’re saying today, loud and clear. Thanks, Renjun. Got it. Yanxin, I’m heading out. Leaving already? Renjun? Renjun! Renjun! Did you come to see me? Why’d you leave
right after talking to Zijian? Hey, hold on! Tell me the truth, did you and Yun fight? No worries, I’ll call her and smooth things over for you. What are you even talking about? Then what is it? Silly girl, for your own good, it’s better not to know too much. Go home. Like you’re some genius! So dramatic. What exactly are they investigating? Still the Wan Hai case? You think they’ll overturn it? How far do you think they’ve gotten? Will they find anything on me? It was Wang Yu who reported Wan Hai. What’s that got to do with you? Think about it, did you ever give Wang a single cent? No, right? So relax, none of this comes back to you. Nothing on me, huh? How about you? Long, remember the first time you came to me about Wan Hai? Sir, Mr. Cheng is here. Mr. Chen. Can I trust you? If you didn’t, you wouldn’t be asking. I want to take someone, or a company, out of the game. Can you help me? Who is it? Which company? You can’t hide anything from me. It’s a company as big as mine, maybe even bigger. They have more resources, but I won’t stop until they’re finished. If I remember right, it only took me a week, less than a week, actually, to dig up everything on Wan Hai, even stuff you wouldn’t tell me— the bad blood between you two. Wang Yu, [Profile: Wang Yu]
the original owner of the freight hub. I can make it look like Wan Hai bullied him into selling the hub. In this case alone, you’ve got unlawful detention, assault, forced deal, and extortion. Any one of those
could take Wan Hai down. Together, and it’s game over. I’ve even lined up a witness for you. Details are on the next page. [Profile: Chen Youcai]
Chen Youcai. His company’s been
losing money for years, he’s scraping by. Getting him on board is easy. Mr. Chen, this is my plan. Just follow my lead. Mr. Cheng, tell me, what do you really want? You really want to know? Mr. Cheng, just be straight with me, what do you want? Mr. Chen, I’ve heard your story plenty of times. Want to hear mine? I’m just a small-town kid. Growing up, I always knew studying was my only ticket out. So I worked hard, got into college, and landed a job as a prosecutor. I thought that would change my life. But I was wrong. Turns out, I was never cut out for it. I wasn’t born to do that boring job, and live that boring life. So one day, I finally realized
exactly what I wanted. I want to be somebody. I want wealth, power. I want to change my fate. So I quit my job and came to Dongping. And that’s how I met you. Long, you saw my potential. You gave me a shot. Working with you, I know I chose the right boss. So, bottom line, they’ll never find anything on you. But chances are good they’ll get to me. Even if they do, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. Zijian. Draft a new contract. Give yourself whatever share in Tianlong you want. They say everything
follows its own rules. But I’ve never liked playing by the rules. I think life is only meaningful when you break the rules. So Long, we’ve got to take control of our own fate. In the end, fortune favors the bold. So? Got a good read on him by now? “Read on him”? Please. He’ll confess the second I step in the room. Getting pretty cocky these days, huh? Where’s that confidence coming from? Just don’t go turning yourself into the cautionary tale for the rest of us. That’d be pretty embarrassing. Five minutes. Bet? Five minutes, huh? Clock starts the moment you walk in. I’ll give you one more minute. Now go, hurry up. Hong Liang. Seriously, why drag Luo and Zhang into this? If you want to talk, you could’ve just come to me. That’s it. Because it’s between us, I’m actually kind of struggling. Nervous, you know? Nervous? Come on. Listen, guys, can you take that off Mr. Sun? No, it’s fine! Listen, Hong Liang, we’re all civil servants here. We should play by the rules. I appreciate it, but just leave it be. Thanks for cooperating, Mr. Sun. No problem. Respect. Take five, guys. Thanks. Man, your hair’s getting so grey. Gotten worse after all these years. See? Worse than I thought. This job’s aging me fast. Yeah, at your wedding, your hair was jet-black. Remember who drove your wedding car? You forgot, right? Me. Yep. You don’t even remember… You were so nervous that day, you even messed up your tie. And you forgot to zip your pants. You ended up pinning them shut with a safety pin! Come on, give me a break. Alright. Let’s get to why we’re really here. Yeah, let’s get to it. Hong Liang. There’s something I’ve been holding onto for over ten years. A secret I want to tell you. Years ago, you, Qiao Zhenxing, and Li Renjun, back when you started
at the prosecutor’s office, you ran into something. You know what I mean? I’m sorry. I made a mistake with that case. Sun Yihu might not have been the prime culprit. Sun Yihu, sentenced to death, and permanently
stripped of political rights. It was definitely Wang Dayou who pulled the trigger. No way it was your dad. I wanted to keep digging myself, but they sent me to some remote post. How was I supposed to keep digging? You mean the case? What case? The one that changed everything. Remember back then, when Min had just finished college? She was looking for a boyfriend. Mr. Jiang was sizing up you three rookies. He knew I had a knack
for reading people, so he asked, “Who do you think
would be good for her?” I played it close to the vest, because honestly, I could tell you and Min already had a thing for each other. Really? I could see right through you guys. So I told him that “Renjun is power-hungry.” See? Turns out I was right. “And Zhenxing is way too stubborn.” “But Hong Liang’s solid. Thorough, responsible, honest, and kind.” And now, look, you and Min are doing great. Yeah, yeah, so you’re saying I owe my happiness to you, huh? I wouldn’t go that far. Not really. Well, we go way back, huh? Absolutely. So, friend to friend, mind telling me why you’re holding three fake passports?
