THIS STORY IS FICTIONAL - ANY

SIMILARITIES TO REALITY ARE COINCIDENTAL

-Hello.

-Lin Musen, you're a jerk.

What's wrong?

Scumbag.

My dear missy, what did I do

to offend you?

Why didn't you look me up

after returning to Singapore?

How did you know I came back?

Aren't you aware

your phone has tracking features?

Unless you're on the moon,

I can keep tabs on your whereabouts.

You've become so tanned

and a bag of bones.

You made life difficult for yourself.

You knew where I was the whole time?

But of course. That's why I said

you made life difficult for yourself.

You could've had good meals

and a high-paying job here.

Yet you chose to do

laborious work at a farm.

But I didn't bother you, did I?

I only called you once

because I had no one else to confide in.

How's your dad?

I'm here to take you to him.

Get in.

Daddy.

Daddy?

Daddy.

Rose, where's my dad?

Your brother just picked him up.

They should still be nearby.

Darned old man, stop moving,

or I'll hurl you to your death.

Then everything will be over

and there will be no more resentment.

But that would be

letting you off too lightly.

Heaven wants you to live

so you can be punished for your sins.

You liked to appear suave and cool.

But now all you do is lie in bed,

with a droopy eyelid and mouth.

You can't walk or talk.

I bet you're miserable.

Go

Come again?

Go

"Go"? Oh, go home?

Sure, I'll take you home this instant.

Mom's waiting for you.

Richard Mo!

Where are you taking Daddy?

Thunder, you're here too?

Long time no see.

Don't be upset, Xuemin.

Mom threw a tantrum again.

She was sobbing and clamoring to see Dad

I just want to take Dad home.

Did you ask if he was willing

to go with you?

Before you got here, he was saying,

"Go"

He meant go home.

Daddy, calm down and talk slowly.

Easy does it.

Ward

Daddy wants to go back to the ward.

That isn't what I heard.

Daddy, do you want to go back with him?

You want to go back to the ward?

Okay.

See that?

Go away.

Get lost!

Thunder, stay out of my family matters.

Mr. Mo wants to go back to the ward.

He's nothing but an old good-for-nothing.

Take him if you like.

Thunder.

You're on their side?

I'm not on anybody's side.

Good.

I'm sorry you went to prison.

But you had a choice.

You could've made Jianzhi the fall guy.

But you didn't.

You made quite a lot of money

over the years.

But you used it all

to repay the investors.

You should know that amount

wasn't nearly enough to help them.

I know.

But at least it made me feel better.

Given your character,

this kind of life doesn't suit you.

Mo Yicong and Mo Xuemin got you into it.

They're your jinxes.

They'll bring you misfortune.

You'd better stay away from them.

Easy does it.

Miss Xuemin.

I'm sorry for failing to watch over Boss.

Uncle Gen, it's not your fault.

You can't possibly watch over my dad 24/7.

I'll be outside.

Mr. Mo.

My dad wants

Daddy, I can protect myself.

Okay Calm down.

My dad

would like you to protect me.

He's worried Richard Mo will hurt me.

Richard Mo has gone mad.

He's capable of doing anything.

My dad

He's scared

Daddy.

Mr. Mo.

Not to worry.

Don't worry about what my dad said.

You're not obliged to do as he says.

I don't need your protection either.

Honestly, I don't think

you're able to protect me.

I'm loaded.

It'll be easy to hire a bodyguard.

In fact, I've decided to

hire one tomorrow.

Go wherever you want

and do whatever you like.

Your dad asked me for help

because he knows I know Richard Mo well.

You're willing to stay and help me?

I must've been indebted to you

in my past life.

Sometimes I think

if you hadn't saved me,

I'd have left this world long ago.

Then many things

would have been different.

You wouldn't have gone to jail,

and my dad wouldn't have had a stroke.

Might as well say the world

would've been a better place.

Don't make yourself out to be so noble.

Hello. Congming?

You have news about Jiahui?

8 JAN 2023

My poor daughter

You died such a horrible death.

Hui

Bro Musen, cheer up.

I'll stick it back for you.

I'll be your sister, okay?

Bro Musen, you're awesome.

I'm sure you'll grow up

to be an outstanding person.

Bro Musen, run!

Bro Musen, don't take revenge on my mom.

All right, I won't take revenge

on your account.

In future, you can only date a guy

after I approve of him.

-Why?

-Don't ask why.

I'm your brother.

I care about you.

Give me some time. I'll return the money

to you, on behalf of my parents.

I can make money myself.

-Wagyu.

-Wagyu.

-Wagyu.

-Woo hoo!

Hui

Who's the scoundrel that k*lled you?

My poor daughter

Bro Jianzhi, please let me off.

I'm sorry. I've realized my mistake.

I mean it.

I don't want to

lose everything I have now.

I don't want to go back to my old life

when I had nothing!

That person will die a horrible death

and be struck by lightning!

Isn't Jianzhi good enough?

I find Jianzhi a little

scary.

How come?

He seems to be

hiding many dark secrets.

Do you know Jianzhi and Jiahui?

What did Jianzhi do to Jiahui?

I promised Jiahui I wouldn't tell a soul.

Did Jianzhi do something bad to Jiahui

and you no longer trust him?

Perhaps.

It's our turn to offer joss sticks.

Jiahui, rest in peace.

The injustice you suffered

will be redressed.

Auntie, don't be sad.

Take care of yourself.

Bro Ming.

-Yes?

-Do something for me.

I'm hungry. Let's eat.

All you do is eat!

How heartless of you!

Our daughter is dead,

yet you're still in the mood to eat.

Aunt.

I want to pee.

Uncle, you just went to the washroom.

Aunt, Uncle has dementia.

Don't be angry.

He doesn't know anything,

I'm the only one in anguish.

My life is so ill-fated.

Hui, just take your Dad with you.

Take care of your mom.

Don't say anymore and she'll stop crying.

See? My character died.

Mother, Father, have some water.

Hui

Auntie.

A small token for you.

Don't be too sad.

I'll offer flowers to Jiahui on every

1st and 15th day of the lunar month.

Thank you.

My condolences.

My condolences.

I'm going to get drinks.

Liu Mu, can you reach Susakong?

I heard the police are looking for him.

Do you think Jiahui's death

has anything to do with him?

Susakong said Jiahui

didn't return to Thailand,

so he came to Singapore to look for her.

But he couldn't find her.

You believe what he said?

What do you mean?

Is he trying to divert our attention away?

I have reason to suspect him.

Think about it.

He was the closest to Jiahui.

And he was the reason

Jiahui went to Thailand to work.

Even her family hardly got to see her,

let alone us.

Remember I told you

Jiahui had asked me for a loan?

It was a large sum.

She told me she wanted to

help Susakong repay his debts.

Could they have hidden something from us?

Only Susakong would know that.

The problem is, nobody knows where he is.

Has he gone into hiding?

I'll go to Thailand to look for him.

I'm going too.

Take me along.

I'll join you guys.

Save it. This is none of your business.

Jintiao, we're not going on a holiday.

We're going to look for

the m*rder*r who k*lled Jiahui.

Jianzhi, don't jump to conclusions.

We don't know yet whether

Susakong is involved in the case.

Exactly. How could you accuse

Susakong of being a m*rder*r?

He's my master, you know.

That he's your master doesn't mean

he won't commit a crime.

At least I've never seen him

going after someone with a knife.

-But you

-That's enough.

Liu Mu, you know I'd always

regarded Jiahui as my sister.

This has to do with her death.

I want to do my part.

All right.

-Sorry.

-What happened?

I didn't see him as I was talking to you.

-Sorry about that.

-No worries.

Let's go.

Sorry.

Why did you ask me to bump into him?

Zhenyu, I'll make a move.

He's gone.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Let's go.

Is Lin Musen still around?

Yes.

I need to talk to him. You can go back.

It's about Jiahui.

Okay. Be careful.

Thank you for coming with your husband

to pay your last respects to Jiahui.

Jiahui and Zhenting had been classmates

since they were in Secondary 1.

They were inseparable BFFs.

Both of them met with misfortune

one after the other.

It breaks my heart.

I have a suspicion.

Could these two cases be related?

They're both linked to one person

Richard Mo.

Jiahui found out Zhenting

was seeing Richard Mo.

She said she was shadowing Richard Mo

to help you seek redress.

Jiahui was at the scene

when Zhenting met with harm.

She was the only eyewitness.

I did think of the points you raised.

There's someone else I find suspicious.

Who is it?

Jianzhi.

Jianzhi?

-Sorry.

-What happened?

I didn't see him as I was talking to you.

Sorry about that.

Jianzhi.

Were you at the scene?

Were you there

when Zhenting fell from the building?

On the day Zhenting met with harm,

I called her.

She answered the call,

but she didn't speak.

I called out a few times

before I heard her calling me Sis.

Hello, Zhenting?

Can you hear me?

-Sis!

-Zhenting?

Let me go!

Zhenting!

Then the line got cut off.

But I heard another voice before that.

A man had let out a yell.

It was the sort of cry you'd let out

when you experience sudden pain.

Was it Arthur Thng?

Maybe.

But it might not be him.

What makes you think that?

I don't know.

I have this feeling

that person seems to be someone I know.

I found his voice familiar.

Who was it?

Jianzhi.

Jianzhi?

You suspect Jianzhi was at the scene?

I know it's hard to determine

it was Jianzhi based on the cry.

Two people could

look similar to each other,

let alone the voice.

But the day after Zhenting's fall,

I found out by chance

-You okay?

-I'm okay.

What happened to your arm?

He said he got hurt while working out.

You suspect his injury

had to do with the cry of pain you heard?

That's what I suspect.

But I felt

maybe I was overthinking it.

So just now,

I decided to do something.

Sorry.

I was right.

It was Jianzhi.

You sure about that?

I'm not saying you heard wrong, but

I know.

I'd never suspected Jianzhi either.

But during the ritual just now,

I recalled what Zhenting told me.

What did Zhenting tell you?

She said Jianzhi was difficult to read,

and that he seemed to be

hiding some dark secrets.

She sometimes found Jianzhi scary.

She even told me

What else did she say?

Jianzhi seemed to have

done something bad to Jiahui.

The old man asked you

to protect his darling daughter?

I know what's on his mind.

He has money, and he has

people working for him.

Not that hard to get

a bodyguard for his daughter.

But he doesn't trust them.

My fortune right now

is so much bigger than his.

I can easily bribe anyone

who's working for him

except you.

But I believe

anyone can be bribed

so long as you can afford to pay for it.

Come back and work for me.

If you say yes,

you'll get US$5 million right away.

You'll also get US$10 million every year,

as well as bonuses.

Sounds enticing indeed.

But

it doesn't work on me.

Tell me straight out,

how much that old man gave you.

You fancy Mo Xuemin?

I'm indebted to Miss Mo.

I repay kindness

and take revenge on my enemies.

I see we do share something in common.

That old fogey abandoned me

and my mom back then.

My mom went through hell.

He has to pay me back double.

I want him to suffer

a fate worse than death.

Mo Xuemin is the apple of his eye.

If something happens to her,

that old man will be miserable.

I'd advise you

to stay as far away as possible

from both of them.

And also,

consider my offer.

Grasp every opportunity

that comes your way.

Don't do anything stupid.

Hang on.

Do you know Zhenting?

Oh, Jianzhi's friend?

I'd seen her a few times,

but we weren't that close.

She fell from a height

and is now in a coma.

But I feel

it wasn't an accident.

How unfortunate.

Hope she'll pull through.

THAILAND, 11 JAN 2023

Thank you for staying with us.

-Hi.

-Hello.

I know his address.

-Really?

-Yes.

Hello, granny.

Is Susakong at home?

We're his friends from Singapore.

He owes me money.

What did she say?

She said Susakong owes her money.

Ask her how much he owes.

How much does he owe you?

I don't know.

Here it is.

Thank you.

Whoa, what a mess.

Someone must've searched this place.

The police looked for him, to no avail.

I'll get back to work.

Thank you.

What did he say?

He said he has a business with Susakong.

But he hasn't appeared since last week.

Susakong didn't take his calls.

The police couldn't find him either.

What now?

It's been two days

and we haven't made much headway.

We can't go on like this.

Go back if you're busy.

No need to be so aggressive,

I haven't finished talking.

We're in an unfamiliar place

and there's a language barrier.

It won't be easy to find someone.

Let's hire

a private investigator tomorrow.

I know you're rich, but there's

no need to flaunt your wealth.

So what if I'm rich? Does that upset you?

-Yeah! You

-Stop arguing!

We're here to look for Susakong.

Don't fight anymore.

I'm hungry. Let's eat.

Ignore him.

I have a call to make.

How's it going?

Carry out the plan. Be careful.

How much?

-500 baht. Thank you.

-Okay.

Don't take it.

His money is dirty.

-500 baht.

-Thank you.

What did you tell him?

I told him your money is dirty.

What's wrong with what I said?

You know full well

how you made your fortune.

Want to fight? Bring it on!

I'm going to get beer.

Sit down.

Why do you keep picking on him?

Don't you think he's obnoxious?

Hello. Susakong?

Susakong, is that you?

Susakong should be fine, right?

He'll be all right.

Focus on driving.

Pull over there.

This should be it.

Liu Mu, let's go in quickly.

He asked me to go in alone.

Wait here for me.

A million baht.

Be careful.

Do be careful.

Hello Hello?

Susakong.

Susakong!

Liu Mu.

Go

Go, quick.

Don't say anymore. I'll release you.

Hang in there.

Leave

Susakong!

Get up.

Susakong.

Watch out!

Susakong.

Susakong.

Take revenge

for Jiahui.

Susakong.

Hang in there.

Hey.

Susakong.

Where are you going?

To look for Liu Mu.

He asked us to wait here.

Stay here since you're a wimp.

Susakong.

Liu Mu!

You okay?

Here.

Jianzhi.

You want to k*ll me?

You came to Thailand

not to look for Susakong

but to get rid of me.

You've been guarding against me?

I've been watching your every move.

You know Thai, don't you?

How much?

500 baht. Thank you.

Don't take it.

His money is dirty.

-500 baht.

-Thank you.

How's it going?

Carry out the plan. Be careful.

Nothing can escape you, huh?

Why do you want to k*ll me?

I've never thought of k*lling you.

It's true.

I've not had any friends

since I was a kid.

You and Jintiao are my only friends!

How I wish we could be buddies forever.

Do you remember

we said we'd walk on golden path together?

I did it for the three of us!

I have money, a house,

a wife and a kid!

You were the one

who chose to give up all this.

But I can't do it.

To me, having nothing to my name

is worse than death!

You're afraid I'll ruin your life.

What don't you want me to find out?

Why are you so scared?

What did you do to Jiahui?

Even Zhenting was afraid of you.

Tell me.

What did you do to Jiahui?

Out with it!

I'll talk

Tell me!

I slept with Jiahui.

Jiahui took you for her brother.

How could you do that to her?

She seduced me.

She said she wanted to be a bad woman.

Shut up!

I have two questions for you.

You'd better tell me the truth.

You k*lled Jiahui.

Right?

Zhenting's fall

is to do with you too.

Am I right?

Tell me the truth.

Out with it!

Is that still important?

A pull of the trigger

and everything will be over.

None of this will matter anymore.

Liu Mu.

Let it go.

Why was there a g*nsh*t?

Liu Mu.

Liu Mu.

It's not him.

Out of the way.

Brother.

I really don't wish to k*ll you.

But you leave me with no choice.

He's over there!

After him!

Stay right there!

Go to hell.

Run, quick!

Get in.

No! Liu Mu isn't back yet.

Listen, Liu Mu is dead!

-Get in!

-What did you say?
