Hold onto it for me.

Jeez, and now the phone. Cousin -

Your Heart Shelter client is Ye Lanqiu!

You're an exciting one.

What?

Ye says she's on with you.

Your photos are all over the net.

Hurry back, cousin. Or there'll be murder.

Game's up. We're busted.

The net's full of photos and news about us.

They say l'm your boyfriend.

My girlfriend will have seen it.

l have to go. You'll be safe here.

Catch the sunrise yourself.

Stop.

l'll never be able to explain this!

Just two days more.

lf you hadn't gone to the agency

no one would've caught us on film.

Look at the trouble you caused me.

You're a real jinx, you know that?

l'll never prove my innocence now.

Stop yelling at me.

l'm sorry.

You're sorry - what good is that?

lt doesn't solve the problem.

l can explain. l'll go with you.

You - you'll explain?

That'll only make things worse.

What's wrong with me?

Am l a hooker, a thief, a murderer?

Why can't l go?

We've nothing to hide.

l'm just your employer.

lf l knew you were this sick,

l'd never have taken the job.

l am sick.

Advanced lymphatic cancer. Happy?

You think l want to go?

Show this to your girlfriend.

lt explains everything.

Why are you home?

Whose mobile is that?

Mine.

Give it to me. Give it.

Come out here.

Cousin asked me to get it.

Why didn't he come back himself?

He asked you to do it -

why?

l want to see the sunset tomorrow.

We'll be gone overnight.

l see why he asked you to get it.

''Client wants to see sunrise

can't make dinner again. Back tmr.''

Did you know he wasn't coming home?

No.

When did they start seeing each other?

l don't know.

Yang Jiaqi, consider this:

From now on,

You are an unemployed homeless person.

Ruoxi, there's something l didn't tell you.

He was there when l recorded her apology.

Then you had me meet you at that school.

Honestly, l dunno what happened after.

Anything else you're hiding from me?

Yes.

He said this was for the loan.

What sort of work...

earns that much money in just a few days?

l've searched the net.

There's no ''Shelter for the Heart''.

There's only one possibility.

She knows you broke the bus seat story.

Shoucheng is your boyfriend.

lt's revenge.

According to informed Sources...

Use ''disclose'' here.

The man with Ye Lanqiu...

is the boyfriend of

TV reporter Chen Ruoxi...

who broke the story about the bus.

Ye Lanqiu is taking revenge.

Explosive revelations from another source:

The caller to the station that night...

was Mo Xiaoyu, the wife of Shen Liushu.

Unless driven to despair by a mistress,

who'd expose a husband to ridicule?

Female compatriots take note

when busy at work or home...

beware morally corrupt types like Ye Lanqiu.

An auspicious date.

An auspicious date.

We're a team.

l have another announcement.

Beginning today,

Miss Tang will be my PA

and Executive Secretary.

lt's my old name card.

But the contact details are the same.

lf anything comes up, call me.

Our company is going...

international.

This Chen Ruoxi is over the top.

Miss Ye steals her boyfriend

so she uses public resources for revenge.

Villifies Miss Ye -

and drags the company into it as well.

To purge the media of such scum

is only right.

l was forgiving at first.

l thought, let her off this time.

Let her keep her take for the video.

What l don't get is why

Mo Xiaoyu got mixed up in this sordid business.

Does your wife really want to leave you?

As if she'd walk away from wealth and luxury.

So why involve herself with Chen Ruoxi?

Women. Shed like to see Miss Ye skinned alive.

Should we try to recover the money?

No.

Forget it.

l detest taking back a gift to a woman.

Ruoxi. Can you hear me?

Hello?

Hello?

lt's fine.

My girlfriend says l can stay with you.

Thank her for me.

Where's your family?

Dad died, mom remarried.

So after sunrise tomorrow,

we go to the hospital.

Your work is done tomorrow.

None of your business where l go.

l know you're home.

l know you're angry.

But l have to stay with her till sunrise.

When l get back, l'll explain everything.

We're signing with Stone.

l never dreamed

l'd be the boss of a multinational.

Congratulations.

Xiaoyu

why is the jewellery box empty?

They belong to me.

l can put them where l like.

They're yours.

Treasure them.

Shen

l've a question.

What is it that you treasure?

Success.

My success.

Congratulations on another success.

At this romantic moment, over wine

l thought you'd say you treasured me.

You're just sour.

Let's be honest, okay?

Alright.

Can you please tell me...

the truth about you and Ye?

Haven't l answered that?

l said l don't need to steal around.

We should go.

You can take a taxi.

l'll say goodbye to you here.

Why not at the hospital?

l don't want people seeing us together again.

l want everyone to see me at your side every day

for your treatment.

Car keys.

Wait here for me.

Oh, right. Here's your lD.

You didn't get your money back.

l trust you.

l'm going in.

Who're you looking for?

Ruoxi, come here.

Was this transferred to your account?

Yes, it was.

You accepted it.

Yes.

lt didn't disadvantage the station.

l did some brainstorming for them.

Someone has reported on you.

They used their name.

They say you took a bribe.

We need to establish the facts.

You agree that's correct procedure?

Can l ask who reported this?

You know a Miss Tang, Tang Xiaohua?

Director, l can return the entire amount.

lf only it were that easy.

Who's Tang Xiaohua?

Sister.

Don't butter me up. Who's Tang Xiaohua?

A classmate.

She introduced that job.

l'm asking where she works?

Situo.

Yang Jiaqi

what'd l do to make you hate me?

To make you help them frame me?

Sister, what's going on?

As if you didn't know. You don't know?.

l swear, l really have no idea.

As if l could still trust you.

Yang Jiaqi

l never want to see you again.

Boss

the police are on the line.

Line 1 .

Hello?

Hello.

Are you the CEO of Situo, Shen Liushu?

l am.

ls Ye Lanqiu your employee?

She was.

Are you Yang Shoucheng?

Yes.

Do you know Ye Lanqiu?

Hello.

Xiaoyu, Ye Lanqiu is dead.

Xiaoyu

why do l feel that all this...

has been aimed at me.

How did she die?

Don't know. l'm going there now.

Xiaohua

Miss Ye is dead.

The cause of death has yet to be determined.

You and Zhang Mu should come with me.

Tell Yang Jiaqi...

to come with her camera.

The deceased jumped 40 meters

to her death.

Her note indicates it was suicide.

ls this her handwriting?

Yes. May l photograph it?

This is her diagnosis.

We found it in her bag.

Cancer.

Director Shen

considering everything that's happened

up to today...

is there anything you'd like to say?

l knew

you'd wait at motel.

But you needn't wait any longer.

Thank you for these last few days.

l've been in turmoil.

But now l'm clear.

Rather than wait fearfully for death,

l'd rather face it.

Please take 1 ,000,000

and the rest of my savings

and donate it to those in need.
