how you got here in the first place?

Of course I have not forgotten

I have the utmost respect for your father

I have the utmost respect for your father

And I treat you well since then.

That would make me your half uncle, no?

Right, uncle

Good boy

Did you like

the birthday present I bought you?

Oh yes, the briefcase is very useful

The land where your office is located

on was also a gift from my family

Please, can we not talk about this here?

It doesn't make me look good as the Mayor

Fine, I didn't come here

to pick on you anyways

Let me asking you about something

You've found the right person

Nobody knows the streets of

this town better than me

The guy that owns the restaurant

What's his background?

You mean Moustache Man? He's nobody!

Just some guy

who made some money from selling horses

His wife is purchased,

they don't even love each other

I don't care how his marriage is doing

I want to find out what his

relationship is with Wei

I want to find out what his

relationship is with Wei

You talking about Wei?

That's a very long story

Once upon a time, three years ago...

on a dark and windy night

The old couple who lives in the

Tang house suddenly died

This little girl became an orphan

So the Moustache Man adopted her

claims he'd raise her

as a child bride for his son

You're so full of crap

You shouldn't make up stories like this

just because you are no match to him

What do you mean by that?

Look at my stylish hair...

You are no match at all

Who still wears fur these days?

You dress like a rich jerk

I dress like a rich jerk?

Lord Xu, you look so handsome today

Really? No rent will be charged for the day

Thank you, Lord Xu. You are a good man

Darn, why do I have the urge

to pee whenever I see water?

Darn, why do I have the urge

to pee whenever I see water?

Go back, retreat!

Go back, retreat!

My dear Xin!

Mayor Gu, are you all right?

I'm fine...

Just a little wet

I mean, something's on my mind

Something smells here...

Yeah

Must be those stray dogs...

peeing all over the place

I'll check into this tomorrow

Let's go over there

Gosh, the smell's gotten stronger

Uhm...

After you then

Darn, couldn't hold it

So, where's the book you promised me?

How could I possibly

forget what Xin wants?

How could I possibly

forget what Xin wants?

Here you go...

Mayor Gu, you must behave

I'm a married woman

You worried about

the Moustache Man you're married to?

He may look tough,

but he's probably useless

He may look tough,

but he's probably useless

Unlike myself, I look weak in appearance

but I am truly a strong man...

Xin, look over there

See how beautiful the butterflies

look hovering over the flowers?

See how beautiful the butterflies

look hovering over the flowers?

Oh, the butterflies have gone to sleep...

Mayor Gu

What are you talking about?

I see no flowers

I beg to differ! There's an old saying...

When you wish for something,

your dreams will come true

When you don't want something,

you end up getting more!

Mayor Gu, what in the world

are you trying to do?

You leave me with no choice

See

What do you think?

I drew these for you at work today

One flower, la-la-la...

Two flowers, tra-la-la...

Three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

nine, ten, ta-la-la...

There's a ghost!

Changgong...

Moustache Man!

Gu Yuejin is rather amusing

This area is desolated

and he has the heart to draw flowers for me

Lord Xu, you look cheerful today

How can I be cheerful?

Those three still aren't paying their rent

How can I be cheerful?

Those three still aren't paying their rent

As the town Mayor,

shouldn't you do something about it?

As the town Mayor,

shouldn't you do something about it?

Of course, naturally

I'll handle those three, don't worry about it

You're in my way...

Darn, we're done here, buzz off!

What a coincidence!

You still have the nerve to show up?

I'm a regular at your restaurant,

you don't want my business?

I'm a regular at your restaurant,

you don't want my business?

We're not open today

That's fine, too! No work for the day

It's good to come out for the fresh air

Mayor Gu, looking to get

a Jackie Tang outfit?

Whoa, what's that? It smells horrible!

This is French perfume

It's made from flowers extracts

Smell it

Go away...

Hey, watch it! Don't you know who I am?

I brought this back from

the city specially for you

My father told me to study hard

So that I can gain more knowledge

But I think the best way to learn is to travel

and truly experience

the different walks of life

How about we go to the

Imperial City together sometime?

No

That's fine, it's too far anyways.

How about the countryside?

We can pick flowers during the sunny day

Admire the stars under

the bright moonlight at night

It'd be a wonderful trip!

Not interested

What's wrong with you today?

Business has been slow

Nobody's coming to dine at our restaurant

Even passing by tourists are becoming rare

All the food are becoming overcooked

And the fish is going bad

How are we gonna survive?

Well then... how about

I don't take rent from you?

I never intended to pay you anyways

I never intended to pay you anyways

Let me take care of you then

You think you can do

anything because you're rich?

I despise rich snobs like you

You think money can buy you everything

What's the big deal

Thank you for coming

Are you talking to me?

Fortune teller

I thought you were blind?

Can you see me?

Whoever told you I was blind?

I just didn't open my eyes

Young lady...

Your eyes are watery,

and your cheeks are pink

It's a sign that true love is near

True love?

Lord Xu...

Your forehead is shining bright

also a sign that love is near

Hey, what are you two playing at?

Nothing!

Stop denying!

You think you can have everything

Just because you got money?

You get this fortune teller

to fool me, you think I'm stupid?

You get this fortune teller

to fool me, you think I'm stupid?

There was sand in my eyes

The sand got in my eyes

This outfit is perfect

But I need to appear to be more forceful

How about you guys do an act with me

to demonstrate my great kung-fu skills

Interested?

You can count on me

So, about the rent...

I'll handle it

You guys are about to go out of business

and you still owe Lord Xu rent

How dare you come to wine and dine here?

This is too infuriating

Scumbag!

What great skill!

Drunken Fist!

Bottoms up...

One more!

Dangerous.

Done.

Amazing!

I've got something even more powerful

Deadly Sound Wave

Huh? I don't recall talking about this

Deadly Sound Wave

Darn, he's improvising!

Please spare me!

That was awesome

Deadly Sound Wave!

Please spare me!

Unbelievable...

What are you doing here?

Oh, how did it break?

We're leaving now...

Simply irresistible

Let's go!

What?

Never seen someone caught in an act?

What?

Never seen someone caught in an act?

Move!

What are you laughing at?

Is this funny?

When I saw you with Gu Yuejin earlier on
