Hey Maggie

Hello,

I got it

Any problems?

All good

The woman next to him, her name is?

Rebecca!



For real. -Layout

You can check with the entertainment desk

Rebecca, the E-cup model

I'll double check

I'm coming back to the office

Let's go for a late night snack

I'm meeting someone after work

Gotta go

Wait a second

God, Chi, look at your car!

How much is it gonna cost me?

Take my advice

don't waste your money

Buy a new one

I bought this thing less than a month ago!

You serious?

I'm serious. Take a look!

Damn, you were screwed over

Listen, used-car dealers can't be trusted

They trick you into buying the car.
Once it's sold...

the dealer denies any responsibility

and you're on your own

Here, see for yourself

The links on the door frames don't match

Definitely not originals

and here

Same with the engine

But they did a good job

Most people couldn't tell the difference

But they can't fool ol' Ji

Look, the rubber here is soft

Definitely a reassembly

Every step leaves a footprint

Fuck!

Hao!

Are you on duty?

Yep

Sir, can I help you?

Chi!

Sergeant Wang!

What brings you here?

Sir, this is?

Sorry about him

He's new here

Doesn't know who you are

Hello!

Nice to meet you

Be careful around him

He's a reporter

Used to be a crime reporter

Then he got promoted!

Well, sir, not quite

Please, De

If you hear anything,

please call me

OK

You make it sound like we're working for you

We've got a lot on our plate

Come on!

I'm a model citizen, and you're a model cop

We can help each other out!

So what happened this time?

My car?

What a beauty!

Beauty?

Not anymore

You had an accident?

Please

I was wondering
if you could help me trace the car

See if it was involved
in any previous accidents

Or if there is any? -Records?

Yes

Should be pretty easy

Keep it on the down low though

My bosses have been pretty strict lately

They've been keeping everything confidential

Checking records every month

That being said...

When was the last time you took me out?

I paid off our last bill just recently!

Till next time

I'll take you to "relax"?

Have a little "fun"

Yeah, I know

Don't worry

We've worked together so many times

I always keep it quiet

Don't worry

Got it

Always making trouble for me?

Well, how did I know this would happen?

But only a man of your talents

could help me crack this case

Alright, fine

Thanks. I have to go meet De.
-Leave it to me

Wei

Sir. -Sit

Do me a favour

Check this car for me, okay?

All the info is inside

(National Police Agency Database,
Ministry of Interior)

Okay

Let's start

Politics desk

"A Cabinet Reshuffled"

Sir,

Chung-wen,

what do you think?

Chang's affair

with the model?

Shouldn't we check its validity first?

Isn't it common sense?

She's a G-cup model!

All the young people know about her

She's famous

Chi

We'd still better check it

Thanks everyone

Today, we are joined

by my friends in business and politics

Actually, I have to thank my wife

who has spent the past few years

helping me build these relationships

If it weren't for my little helper,
and my father-in-law

given my temper

I wouldn't be where I am today

So thanks to them both

Let's drink a toast to Ching-kai

Cheers! -Congratulations!

Senator Shen, Counsellor Chen, cheers!

Bottoms up! -Together?

Come!

Everyone, let me make a little introduction

This is Chi, our new head of Society desk

Wow! -Thank you Mr. Chiu

Pretty young to be head of desk

It hasn't been an easy road for him

Parents are farmers,

Very humble background

Came to Taipei for a better future

and in just a few years
becomes head of desk

Cheers!

You watch the news lately?

The Senator

and his sports car?

That was his report

First one on the scene

You're a hero!

Good?

How's her body look up close?

Pretty good

Sorry

Mr. Chiu has been my idol
since I was at university

Mr. Chiu has been my idol
since I was at university

Everything I've achieved

I owe to Mr. Chiu's support

He brought me into this company

Treated me as one of his own

Sir?

Here? -Congrats on your retirement!

All together

As I've said before?

With such a competent young man
behind me

do I have any choice but to retire?

I guess you're right

Everyone?

Our Maggie here

is also very competent!

Mr. Chiu has been very clear

This young lady

is still single

and has yet to find a suitable partner

Ms. Shen, you're still single?

Unbelievable

Such a beautiful woman
and you're still single?

Chen

They're both your right-hand men

They'd be a perfect couple, am I right?

Perfect match!

Here?

Miss,

Give Chi a chance

He's not so bad

Hush, stop talking

Maggie

I'm available?

Are you okay?

Still fighting with your boyfriend?

If you're together too long

does it always turn sour like this?

I told you to break it off already

It hurts me to see you like this

You're such a great woman

You deserve someone better. Really

Ms. Huang, unjustly labeled
as my mistress in the news report

is my lawful wife, whom I married

in March this year

The report has seriously damaged
my reputation, as well as Ms. Huang's

I've instructed my lawyer to press charges
against the newspaper

and demand that they?

The reporter in question is Wang Yi-chi

He obtained an MA
in Journalism with distinction

He currently works at?

We see Wang Yi-chi and his father,
a tea grower?

Senator Chang has demanded
that the journalist to be severely punished

and make a public apology in the paper.

That's all for today

Liu

Yes, chief

Have you drafted the apology?

Yes

Let me have a look

I want to check the content

Back to work!

Thank you Chief

All done?

Good work. Very efficient

Thank you, Wei

Chi!

Sergeant Wang
-Perfect timing

I just got all the info

Here, sit

You're a celebrity now

Saw you on the news this morning

Bravo!

Wang

Is it ok to ask a straight-edge
like him to do it?

You mean Wei?

He's fine

I was a straight-edge once

Never got me into any trouble

Sit?

Listen

We checked it out

It's true that your car was reassembled

What?

They changed its exterior

but didn't touch the insides

The serial number on the engine is still there

See for yourself

And the details from De

It was involved in a car accident
nine years ago

The owner was killed on the spot

Fuck! He died in the car?

It was a hit-and-run

The perp was never caught

Here

Come

You in a rush to get back to work?

Good. Let me make you some tea

Hmm

This tea is really something

Don't forget to thank De for his help

(Interviewee: Wang Yi-chi)

Oil

Oil

Mister?

Mister!

Miss?

Hey!

The boss just announced
those who are to be laid off

You're one of them

It's kind of a punishment

They're downsizing anyway

Who put in my name?

Editor-in-chief

And the boss agreed to it

Fucking prick

Chung-wen did it on purpose!

He seized the chance to kick me out

Fuck!

We had no way of knowing

that Senator Chang was remarried

Sir

Can you plead with the boss on my behalf?

I already did

But you know?

Senator Chang

is good friends with the boss

Small world

I only heard about it yesterday

They play golf together

In any case,
it's hard to run a paper these days

Or else they wouldn't be downsizing

You were just caught at a bad time

Take this as an opportunity

to have a break

I'll see what I can do

Don't drink so fast

You trying to get pissed?

Beer's here

How's the wife and kid

They're good

But?

A lot of pressure comes with having a kid

Man, this sucks

I'm unemployed

Even Chiu can't save me this time

You'll be fine, don't worry

Chiu will definitely help you out

Just think of this as a holiday

You know

My car, the red one

Fuck

was really in an accident

That's what happens when you buy used

A lot of them have been in accidents

Nine years ago

There was an accident
on a mountain road in Xindian

I was the only witness

What a coincidence

Damn small world

Things that happen to you

come around in circles

They always come back to you

It's all predestined

This has nothing to do with destiny

Taiwan is a small country

This is what happens with used cars

It's like musical chairs

Today you get his stereo

Tomorrow he gets your door

Don't think too much

Should I drive you home?

I'm fine, just go

Inside, now!

Get inside! -Okay?

Boss,

thanks!

No problem

Let's go

Why all the interest in this car accident?

Nine years ago, I was still an intern

The whole editorial department
went out for dinner

After dinner,

I saw the car accident

I remember Chung-wen
was at the dinner too

Yesterday, when I was looking

at the pictures I took,

I discovered that few of them
had been deleted

Looking back on the whole thing

Chung-wen was the only one
with access to my camera

Good morning, sir. -Good morning

You didn't go home last night?

Hey

Sir

I took pictures of a car accident yesterday

A hit-and-run

Do you think it's worth reporting?

So you think Chung-wen deleted them?

Not sure

What's the point of investigating it now?

That was ages ago

So you want Chung-wen out?

Maggie

I lost my job!

Damn! Chung-wen kicked me out!

Then what's your plan?

I need to find the girl first

You sure she wants to get involved?

I'll try to find her first

Oh right

I remember you saying you've got a relative

working in the Shan-en Hospital?

Is that her?

Hmm

Cousin. -Thank you

I need to go back to work

Thank you

(Household Registration: Miaoli?)

(Medical records: Hsu Ai-ting)

Excuse me

Is Hsu Ai-ting home?

Ting doesn't live here

Do you know where she lives?

Who's asking?

We were classmates of hers

We wanted to see
if she was coming to the reunion

Oh

You're her classmates?

Yes

Classmates?

Oh, that's good

You scared me for a second

Well

Come in?Have some tea

Excuse me

Is that Hsu Ai-ting in the photo?

Didn't you say you were her classmates?

You don't recognize her?

Well

I haven't seen her in ages

I just wasn't sure what she looks like now

Come, have some tea

Ting hasn't come home for a long time

That's right

That's an old photo

(Oriental Beauty)

Something weird about the tea?

My parents are tea growers

I know a lot about it

Award-winning tea like this

costs more than NT$10,000 per kilo

Didn't he say they were poor?

How can they afford such expensive tea?

There's only one place

you can get premium tea like this

Let's go see

Sir,

What kind of tea are you looking for?

Hello

I'm looking for Oriental Beauty

Which variety?

Golden leaves

One second

Do you drink this brand of tea often?

It's Mrs. Hsu's

We drink it when we visit her here

In that case, she must be quite well off

Far from it!

Mrs. Hsu

works very hard

Really?

But this tea we're having

is pretty pricey

Right, see?

It's award-winning tea

Have a look

Not many people buy this one, right?

Not too many

It's the only champion tea we sell

Can't get it anywhere else

It's an award-winning tea

Really?

Well?

I remember Ting mailed it over

Her granny says Ting is so nice to her

Don't listen to his nonsense

Excuse me, Granny

We've come to see Hsu Ai-ting

I haven't heard from Ting for ages

Don't know where she's been

But uncle said just now?

Ting sent the tea back?
-Don't listen to his nonsense

It was a present from someone else

I was wondering if you could tell me

Did she ever come to the shop?

I can't remember?

That's Ms. Chang, isn't it?

Ms. Chang?

Ms. Chang?

Yes, she called in this afternoon

Said she'd pick up the tea tonight

Try it!

What's her full name?

What? -How old is she?

Ms. Chang?

I think it's?

Chang Hui-wen?

Or Chang... Ai?

Let me check

She's in her thirties

One second

Sounds about right

Has she lived in the area for long?

How long has she lived here for?

I'm not quite sure

She's been a regular customer

for about a year or two

What I remember about her is

she always pays in cash

Usually, our customers

call us on the phone

and pay by credit card

Then we mail them the tea

Ms. Chang!

Ms. Chang

This man here is looking for you

Here's my card

You?

What are you doing here?

We went to see your grandma

At her grocery store

we saw the tea

found our way here

What do you want?

I'd like to talk to you

about the accident

Excuse me,

Ms Hsu

I was a witness to the accident

He was very drunk that night

He was speeding

and got hit

That's about it

What else do you want to know?

Did you see the driver in the other car?

No

When I woke up,
I was already in the hospital

Then why did you leave the hospital?

This all happened years ago

Why are you asking me this now?

Are you writing a report

or something?

I just want to find the truth

and help you catch the person who did this

I don't want to know the truth

What's the point?

My boyfriend is dead

My leg will be like this for the rest of my life

Is there anything I can help you with? -No

I'm fine

I don't want to know any further

Why would you care?

Ms Hsu

Can I have your phone number?

Leave me alone

If you need anything

my number is on the card

It happened so many years ago

Maybe she just wants to forget

We should leave her alone

Hmm

(Post-mortem report: Liao Tzu-fan)

(Car accident. No trace of alcohol found)

Hello

Hello?

This? this is Hsu Ai-ting

Sorry to call you so late

What's up?

Is everything okay?

I want to ask you

not to mention our meeting

to anyone else

And?

To stop investigating the accident

that happened nine years ago

Excuse me, Ms Hsu. I?

I read Liao's post-mortem report

No trace of alcohol was found

Which means he hadn't drank before he died

So...

why did you say he was drunk?

Ma'am

Mr. Wang, what is it you want from me?

I want to find out

what really happened

The truth is,

if it weren't for the car accident,

I would never be able to rid myself of Liao

It was a nightmare

Is that why you escaped

from the hospital?

Mr. Wang

I didn't call you

so that you could interrogate me

I've finally built a peaceful life

I really don't want to be

disturbed by the past

Ms. Hsu, please don't get me wrong

I'm sorry

I still need to talk to you in person

Can I see you tomorrow?

Just the two of us

One second

Hello?

Hello? Ms. Hsu?

Mister

Gosh!

Why're you here so early in the morning?

I'm sorry

Do you know where Ms. Chang lives?

Ms. Chang?

Not sure

I saw that she walked here yesterday

Does that mean she lives nearby?

I know she rents out rooms to people

Maybe you could try the housing complex

Do you have the address?

Yes

Here

Check this place

This?

I'm sorry

I'm a friend of Ms. Chang's

Do you know which room she's in?

You mean the landlady?

Yes

She's in the last room

She lives in this building too?

Yes

Thanks

Ms. Hsu?

Ms. Hsu?

Are you okay?

Oil

Oil

Oil

Fuck!

Are you okay?

What happened to your hand?

(You've got one new message)

Your call will be transferred to the voicemail

You'll be charged after the beep

You've got one new message

Mr. Wang

Help!

Mr. Wang...

What's wrong?

I'm sorry

She's still not answering?

Your call will be transferred to the voicemail

How can it happen?

Who's behind this?

Is it the perpetrator

I think you should stop investigating

This is getting dangerous

It's fine

Let's talk to De first

Watch out!

Are you okay?

I'm fine

When you were a journalist

we had a working relationship

But you're not a journalist anymore

If anything has happened

you should go to the local police

Please?

Listen to this message

Something has really happened

It's a matter of life and death

De, please, I'm begging you

Listen to this

Okay

Go home first

I'll look into it

When I track down the address,

I'll call

Thank you, De

(Mercedes-Benz)

(Black)

Sergeant Wang?

He left already

Can you do me a favour?

Check this one thing for me

I can't

Please, it's urgent

I really can't

Can't do it without boss's permission

It might have to do with a kidnapping

It's a big case

Could help you out

I just need to check the car registration

It won't get you into trouble

(Chiu Ching-kai WB-2668)

Come in

Sir

Come in, friend

Sit

Professor

What's your name?

You can call me Chi

I took one of your classes
when I was studying for my Master's

Oh

My man

These pictures are blurred

Well, no

I remember it was a black car?

You get the license plate number?

Kid

This is a great learning experience for you

as an intern

Learn how to be a good journalist

It's good that you care about society

But remember, this job requires detachment

Chi?

A journalist

is always someone who records history

You'll witness a lot of cases like this
in the future

Like what Chung-wen said,

you have to learn to detach

because you'll never be in the middle of it

Your job

is to witness,

document

and state

I can tell you're quite talented

After the internship,

you should apply for a job here

I mean it

Just let me know

The Premier announced
his Cabinet reappointment today

The choice for new Minister of Interior
took everyone by surprise

Appointed was
veteran journalist Chiu Ching-kai

The Premier expressed
that the aim of this reappointment

was to draw talents from different fields

in the hope of creating a new atmosphere

and a change in the political environment

Chiu previously taught at university

Hello

I got it

It's okay

I'll sort it out

(Ji)

Hello Ji

Can you come over now?

I have something important to tell you

What's up?

It's better to talk in person

It's about what happened nine years ago

Can you come see me right now?

I'll be right over

Ji?

Ji?

Call the police

Call the police first

Chiu

You came to see Ji too?

I remember you used to have
a black Mercedes

What happened to it?

I got a new car ages ago

Recently,

I went through

those blurry photos I took nine years ago

They're hard to see, but?

I worked out a few licence plate numbers

Based on the plate numbers

and the fact

that it's a black Mercedes

I found some car registration details

You were one of the owners

You're suspecting me?

Nine years ago

Ji wanted to borrow my car

That's why I wanted Ji

to ask you to come today

Yeah!

For a date!

I need a flashy car for my birthday

C'mon, let me use it!

No?

I want to kiss it!

You're driving. It's dangerous!

It's fine. I'm a professional!

Relax

No?

Shit!

Where's my phone?

Where's my phone?

Go!

You drank

Get out of here!

Fuck!

He was drunk and had an accident

When he got back to the garage,

he took a car of the same model and

changed the plate

But after all, it was my car

My wife asked me

to pick her up from a party that night

because she had drank too much

I immediately spotted

something wrong with my car

You know Ji, never could tell a lie

He fessed up as soon as I asked him

I'm sorry

I really didn't mean to

But don't worry?

I'll mend it so good that no one can tell?

Is that okay, Chiu?

Yesterday he called me

Told me that

he followed not just you

but Hsu Ai-ting all the way to her place

He found out where she lived

After having thought about it for a day,

he went to see Hsu Ai-ting

He wanted to settle it with money

Ms. Hsu?

Hello

I'm a friend of Ms. Chang's

Do you know which room she's in?

You mean the landlady?

Yes

She's in the last room

Ms. Hsu?

So it was Ji
who tried to run me over this morning?

Hey!

Fuck!

A few hours ago

he called me

asked me to drink with him, help him out

Said he couldn't keep up
the secret any longer

Who would've thought?

He was so troubled that he took his own life?

Darling?

Darling?

Was he having any problems
with anyone lately?

I don't think so

He even called me today?
-Evening, minister!

In recent years...
-No need to call me that yet

It's true we were having some problems?

He did feel a lot of pressure

But he said he was coming home!

Hello De

Wanhua?

This is the place?

Do you want to stay in the car?

It's fine. I'll go with you

Jackpot!

This won't be easy to find

Let's go

Have you seen this woman?

Have you seen this woman?

Have you seen this woman?

How is it going?

Go ask over there

Excuse me. -Yes?

Have you seen this woman? -No

Sorry, I'm in a rush

Excuse me

Have you seen this woman
in the building before?

No

No. Never seen her

Don't think I've ever seen her.

No, I haven't

Nope, never

Excuse me

Anyone home?

You live here?

Yeah

What are you doing here?

I?I'm looking for someone

You live by yourself?

Yeah

Who are you looking for?

This woman

Have you seen her before?

No

Hey!

This is my home

Not Sergeant Wang's office

Sorry

My bad

Are you alright?

I'm fine

Wei

Sir

Sit

Do me a favour

Check this car for me,

okay?

All the info is inside

(Liao Tzu-fan)

(BMW)

(Blue)

Why would you care?

Hello

Morning, Ms. Chen

Good morning

I've fed them every day this week

You're coming back next week?

No problem

I laundered another hundred thousand today

When I'm through with all of it

it'll be enough for us for a while

Such expensive tea

You're having a good life

You're even a landlady now

The way you've been spending our money?

Think you're smart, huh?

I'm sorry

Sorry to who?

I'll pay you back

Sorry to me! -I'm sorry

You know you should say sorry?

I looked after you for so long

You damn cripple

How could you do this to me!

Ssh?

I guess I should thank that reporter

He saved me a lot of trouble

Who knows how long
you were gonna hide from me

Should I start drinking tea

like all the other police officers?

Like you?

Eat good

Drink good

You thought nine years was long enough

that I would just give up?

I kept you alive

I thought

we were the same

I even became a cop

because of you

There you are

How much have you had to drink?

Just waiting for you

So I started drinking?

I can't drink. I'm driving

I can drive you

You're drunk

Let's talk business

You hand in your resignation yet?

I'm not leaving

You don't want to work in the ministry?

Why should 1?

You want to set me up
with Chi anyway, so...

I should start
my relationship building with him

Isn't that what you want?

The investigation
has brought you two closer?

That night?

What you texted was true
- (Chi is staying at my place tonight)

You did sleep with him

I slept with him

What's it got to do with you?

Excuse me, Minister Chiu

Professor Chiu

You've been having an affair
with your student

for ten years now

What you're doing now?

Isn't it good for everyone?

Isn't it!

Fine

I'll give up the job as minister

Isn't it great that you're a minister now?

So you can put an end to our relationship

Don't!

I offered you a job as head of PR

Isn't that enough compensation?

Hello

It's fine

I'll sort it out

Anything you want to say?

August 30th, 2007

You remember what day it was?

What?

A very happy day for Ji

The day when he proposed to his wife

You should know, you introduced them

Shu-hui, the woman
who knelt next to Ji's body last night

You really think after he proposed,
he would go all the way

from Linkuo to Xindian

just to have a ride with another girl?

Does that sound right to you?

Why did you lie to me?

Or you do mean to tell me

that you fucking remembered it wrong?

Here

Thank you!

Everyone

Here

A toast to Chiu

Our new editor-in-chief!

Come on!

Thanks. -Congrats!

Bottoms up!

Everyone say it together

Congratulations to Mr. Chiu!

Ready, go!

Many congratulations to Mr. Chiu!

Best of luck!

Sir

Congratulations!

You're?

Okay with the desk job?

Yeah, it's great

Work hard!

Tell me if you need anything

Thank you, sir

Chung-wen

I need to go home

Take care!

Fuck!

(No signal)

Sir, drive slowly

It's alright

I'm okay

Are you really okay?

Don't I look okay?

Careful, sir!

What?

You like it?

Of course I do, but

I can't concentrate if you keep doing this?

My phone?

No!

Call the ambulance

You've been drinking

Dammit!

How could this happen?

Go!

Who is it? Knocking like crazy

Ji

Chiu

What happened to your car?

I was drunk

I hit someone

Help me!

You must help me!

Help me!
-I can't

Don't drag me into this

Help me!

I'm begging you

You have to help me!
-Chiu, don't be like this

I beg you, help me!

You have to help me!
-Chiu, don't be like this

Okay

I'll help you

Thank you?

Sir

Sir

Sir

It hurts

Ji got a car of the same model

from his garage

He changed the plate

So that I could go to work as usual

the next day

If Ji had known

that you would use his death as a cover,

how do you think he'd feel?

Where the hell is Hsu Ai-ting?

I really don't know

Does Maggie know?

Maggie really doesn't know either

She just told Ji and |

you suddenly began investigating
the accident

Do you want me to expose you,

Minister Chiu?

You know you can't do anything to me

You have no direct evidence

Right?

And I've known you for ten years

I know what you'll do

To you

they're just strangers
who mean nothing to you

You wouldn't only help a stranger

in the name of justice

You wouldn't try destroy the lives

of those who have been supporting you

for the past nine years

Like the accident
that happened nine years ago,

what you have

is only part of the truth

You want to be a hero for 15 minutes?

Or stay under my wing?

Have you seen this woman?

No

You live on your own?

Yeah

Excuse me. I'm looking for Wei

Wei?

He lives next door

I'm sorry

Wrong address

(Chemical supplies)

Open the door!

Open the door!

I know you're in there!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Key?

Where is the key?

Key?

Key?

Key?

Everything in this world

has already been decided

No one is free

Everyone wants to know the truth

But once you've known

what then?

Two million NT...

Good money, isn't it?

I don't know what you're talking about

I knew it was you

The amount just didn't add up

Ai-ting couldn't possibly have taken it

Of course not Liao Tzu-fan

I was wondering
why there was suddenly less

So, it really was you!

That's why you care about this so much

That's why you care about this so much

Good morning, ma

Hey!

Open the door!

Come on!

Hsu Ai-ting, stop messing around!

Stop fooling around!

Idiot! What are you doing?

This isn't time for games!

Wow!

That's fifteen million?

Or else what?

Did you count it?

Not yet. Let's go back first

What have you done?

She kept screaming!

Didn't I tell you?

We shouldn't have trusted him!

Aren't we in it together?

You alright?

You know you can't do anything to me

You have no direct evidence

Right?

Minister Chiu

I have the answer

Listen

The wolf has grown up?

(Pay Hsu Ai-ting)

(Two million New Taiwan Dollars)

Director Wang, congratulations!

Hi, De

Director Wang,

I've finished the thing Chiu asked me to do

It'll be treated as self-defence

I see

Thank you, De

You sure there won't be
any problems in the future?

I'm sure

Director Wang, no need to worry

You'll be considered as a witness

and the case will be closed

And the favour I asked for, please?

I got it

Thank you, De

You have a parcel

(Sender: Ms. Chang)

(Oriental Beauty)

Let's go

You're here too?

Yeah

Just showing my new colleague around

This is Mr. Wang,
head of the PR department

Nice to meet you, sir

Hi!

So”?

How've you been?

Not bad

Chiu got me a job at the TV station

The pay is probably better
than being head of PR

I've always wanted to ask you something

Chung-wen says it was you
who kicked me out

I've asked to see you today

because some colleagues have quit,

and we have positions to fill

I know you don't like me

But you're good at your job

I was thinking?

Ould you be willing to come back?

Wen

You finally had the chance to get rid of me

Now you're asking me to come back?

What's going on?

It wasn't me who wanted you out

Maggie told me everything

She said you?

You suggested to punish me

It wasn't me. It was Maggie

It was Maggie, okay?

Hey!

How can you be so blind?

With the whole news debacle,

someone had to be held responsible

You two were in the same team

Of course she had to sacrifice you

Chiu, her lover and only protection,
was leaving!

She had to look after herself

You know about their relationship too?

When Chiu got promoted to editor-in-chief,

we had dinner
at the mountainside restaurant

It wasn't too hard to see

that there was something between them

Chiu got dead drunk that night

I got him into his car

Maggie insisted on driving him home

After that I saw them together a lot

What happened?

Do you believe Chung-wen, or me?

I believe in myself

Hello everyone,

this is the head PR, Director Wang

Good day, sir

Hello everyone

Thank you all for coming

I look forward to collaborating with you all

Come!

Instead of wine for celebration,
I've brought some tea

This is Oriental Beauty

Good for journalists to drink

It's good for the throat

Thank you, sir

Mr. Wang

Would you like to further explain

the false reports earlier?

Why so eager to ask questions?

It happened ages ago

How can I remember it?

I prefer to remember happier things

I think that's more important

Next question

No more questions?

Well, let me to tell you a joke

Right now it's the "ghost month"
in the lunar calendar

So I'll tell you a ghost story

Ming always loved

collecting books of ghost stories

ever since he was a kid

One day, he traveled very far

went through many challenges

to find a bookshop

one that only sold ghost stories

Ming asked the owner

'Mister, which book is the scariest?"

Mister?

Miss?

The owner thought for a moment

before handing a book to Ming

The owner said to Ming

'If you buy this book,'

'don't ever read the last page'

'because what's written on the last page'

'is the scariest part.'

Ai-ting

He's come to give you your money back

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Pick it up.

Pick it up

No?

Pick it up

Set her free

Let her go

Without any hesitation,
Ming said to the owner

'I want this book'

The owner charged him $50

Ming carried the book,
and ran home with excitement

But Ming could not resist the urge

He went straight to the last page

To his dismay, on the last page

it said

Suggested retail price: 50 cents
