♪My heart shattered, withered into pieces♪

Come in.
Drink this.
It's honey water
for your hangover.
- Last night... - Lin Yun...
How much did you drink last night to end up in that state?
I don't remember a thing from last night.
Nothing at all?
Who changed me?
Lin Yun,
what we have is a deal. Nothing more.
You don't need to fuss over me.
Remember what you said.
If you get yourself into trouble,
I'm not cleaning up after you.
Boss.
Get lost!
I need ten men.
How much?
You're a pretty little lady.
Why don't you keep me company...
I'll take the job.
30 per head.
Cash up front.
Deal.
Put these clothes on.
For today, you're all from the Chengyun Society.
Got it?
Got it.
If Mrs Lin loses even a strand of hair, you answer for it with your life.
Yes, sir.
And
don't blow your cover.
If she recognizes any of you,
you end it the same way.
Yes, sir.
Get to work.
Rest assured, Boss.
These guys all work at our docks.
She definitely won't recognize them.
So we're just acting as ourselves?
Don't ask questions.
Just do what she tells you.
You guys actually do look the part.
Of course.
We're professionals.
(Liang's Apothecary)
Move quickly.
The apothecary just finished inventory.
I sent the warehouse keeper home to rest.
At most, you've got an hour.
Got it.
Good work today.
No,
Mrs. Lin.
I can't accept that.
What did you call me?
Looks like you've got the lines down.
Thank you, ma'am.
He's not exactly the brightest.
We'll get going, then.
She didn't notice anything, right?
I don't think so.
Good.
Or else, Boss will have our heads...
(Now, we see)
(if the fish will take the bait.)
You're from Chengyun Society?
This lighter belongs to Lin Yun himself.
Who do you think I am?
So it's Mr. Liu, Chengyun Society's second-in-command.
Forgive me for not recognizing you.
Someone wants to know
whether you'd like a cedar coffin
or a willow one.
Mr. Liu, you jest.
My little opium den has survived all these years
thanks to certain connections.
I don't need to explain what our boss and Song Zhichu are
to each other.
Truth is,
Song Zhichu wants your head.
Don't think you can fool me with a few words.
Here.
Take a look at this.
Looks familiar, doesn't it?
Everything he promised you
is piled up in our warehouse right now.
Impossible!
We agreed on
an exclusive deal.
Do you still not get it?
Song Zhichu wants a new supply route.
You know how business works
better than I do.
Don't you?
Song Zhichu! That scoundrel!
All these years, I've done his dirty work
and he takes the biggest cut.
I only wanted a bit more commission.
Yet, he said giving me business at all was already doing me a favor.
If you die,
it's just one dog mourning another.
We're all small fry
under our bosses.
We only have ourselves to blame
for not having anything to hold over them.
Wait.
I do.
What do you have?
Something that can keep him in line.
I have a ledger.
Every deal I've done
with Song Zhichu is written in it.
If it ever gets out,
he can kiss his position as police chief goodbye.
Let's make a deal.
Let me go,
and I'll hand you the ledger.
Take it for your protection.
If what you're saying is true,
then I'm spared a sin.
I'll fetch it right now.
Don't worry.
I'm not lying.
(Opium Den Ledger)
Go. Now.
Thank you.
Who dares to pretend to be one of my men?
Mr. Lin!
(Opium Den Ledger)
Stealing from me,
you must have a death wish.
You little rat!
You dare fool me?
I'll teach you...
Darling,
enjoying the role play?
He mistook me
for Liu Xiu.
I never said I was.
You set me up!
I'll kill you!
Liu Xiu.
Boss.
Someone wants to hurt my wife.
Finish him off.
Yes, sir.
What are you going to do to me?
Little Fox,
next time, just ask me for what you want.
(So you knew all along.)
(Opium Den Ledger)
I told you.
My father had nothing to do with this.
I believe him.
(Opium Den Ledger)
I believe you.
Set up a press conference for me.
I want that ledger made public.
The world must know of Song Zhichu's crimes.
All right.
I'll make the arrangements.
So that night, you were pretending to be drunk?
♪Searching for traces of light in the dark♪
♪Learning to fade from the crowd♪

♪I miss you so much♪
What kind of man do you think I am?
♪Longing for an echo of salvation♪
Fine.
♪Yet no one responds♪
If you think I shortchanged you,
I'll return the favor.
Liang Yi!
You think this is something you can trade?
I didn't take you for someone so careless with herself.
I...

Guang!
- Don't move. - Mother...
Mother!
Guang!
Let him go.
So this is what you call having no ties?
You're getting bold.
You stole my goods to feed them.
He's just a boy.
Come at me if you must.
Mother...
Do you realize
keeping them here
puts your identity at risk
if anyone sees?
No one will.
I'm always careful.
Do you think I'll still believe you?
Only the dead can keep a secret.
Mother...
Xu Yin showed up with Chengyun Society's men
and took the goods!
