Mid-night Two (2023) Movie Script
1
My car broke down.
Can you help me?
It looks like the battery is dead.
Try this.
Thank you.
This is not a place for you.
This is not a place for you.
This is not a place for you.
This is not a place for you.
This is not a place for you.
This is not...
This is not...
Young man,
I've been talking to you
for a while now,
and I can tell by your face
and your expression
that you've been to a place
you shouldn't have been.
You've seen someone
you shouldn't have seen.
And you've said things
you shouldn't have said.
What century is this?
Are you still doing
that fortune-telling thing?
If I'm not mistaken,
you went to the local ghost village
and the maze forest.
That's why you're confused
and scared, with a black forehead
and a confused expression.
But you're lucky
to have made it out alive.
Do you know how many
young people have gone in there
and never come out?
So you
next time you pass that forest,
you better stay far away from it.
Because next time,
you won't be so lucky.
I heard
that you're going on
an adventure with Jiang Dongxu.
Can I come with you?
I'll help you out. What do you say?
Don't even think about it.
I'll tell you what,
I'll wait for your news.
You're finally awake.
You've been asleep
for a day and a night,
and you're still
talking in your sleep.
Tell me all about your
first trip around the mountain.
What was fun?
You finish your homework first.
I would be grateful.
It's summer vacation,
so I'm supposed to be
taking you out to play.
You haven't finished
your homework.
And you want me
to take you out to play?
That's annoying.
I have to stay home
and write homework every day.
Little kids should be obedient
and do their homework.
Fine, even my parents
aren't as annoying as you.
Go finish your homework first.
Your parents are not here, so I
have to be the one to supervise you.
It's pretty sweet.
Go write your homework.
Do your homework properly
and don't play with your phone.
I'm going to take a shower.
Brother, I've packed my bags.
Do you need any help with your bags?
When are we going on our adventure?
Just waiting for your orders.
Here, have some fruit.
Aren't you supposed
to be writing your homework?
I finished it.
You finished it so quickly?
Yes.
Brother, what is this?
Adults' business, don't be curious.
Go away.
Don't believe in these
superstitious things, Yicheng.
There are no ghosts in the world.
If there are ghosts, they are all
people pretending to be ghosts.
Don't think too much about it.
I've been analyzing
your situation these days
and looking up information.
Let me tell you
the person who said there
were ghosts in the ghost village
must have been trying to scare you.
He wanted you to go to him and ask
him for a way to break the curse.
His goal was to make some money.
A con artist's way of making money.
That's how it is.
You couldn't get out of the village
because you were dehydrated
and had hallucinations.
Don't think too much about it.
In a few days,
aren't we going to investigate it?
I'll also make a big news story.
Stay home and do your homework.
This is not a place for you to come.
Nuonuo, come here.
Don't run. Wait for me.
Little rascal.
Slow down.
Yicheng.
Look.
Look how happy Yinian is laughing.
You haven't taken him
out to play in a long time.
A group of immature ghosts.
This time is different.
It's very dangerous.
That's why
we're going on an adventure.
It seems like you're different
from the others.
Yes.
We're different.
Different.
Why aren't you laughing?
Let's go.
Give it to me.
Go.
Go, Yinian.
- Go, Yinian.
- Go.
Yinian, slow down.
Slow down, Yinian.
Be careful.
So beautiful.
Ghost!
Ghost!
There are no ghosts.
Come back, come back.
No.
It was just there.
There's nothing here.
You must be seeing things.
Nothing happened.
Who's taking advantage of who?
Let's go.
- Come on.
- I just saw it.
Come on.
This...
You were the one
who hugged me first.
Come over here and take a look.
What are you looking at?
Don't come over here, Yin.
Oh my God.
Come on, take a picture.
Oh my God.
Are you okay?
Did you fall?
Don't come over here.
What is this?
Don't be afraid.
It's an animal carcass.
It's been dead for a long time.
It's disgusting.
How can you be so scared?
Who's scared?
Don't wipe it on me.
Why is it black?
It looks like something
really is wrong here.
- Brother.
- Let me see.
What's wrong?
Yes.
What's wrong?
This animal during its lifetime
should have suffered
from water poisoning.
Look, its bones are all black.
Is the filming done?
Done.
We must be careful on our way.
Let's go.
Let's go, Yinian.
Let's go.
Brother. Is this water so special?
It doesn't seem
particularly special.
But many things are
invisible to the naked eye.
You need scientific instruments
to conduct experiments.
Impressive, right?
For example, like this.
Give it a shake.
I'll go find Nuonuo.
Be careful then.
Hey, Yicheng.
I don't see any issues
with this water.
Are you mistaken?
No, I'm not.
Based on reliable information,
there must be a problem
with this water.
Since we're here,
we need to figure it out.
I hope all living beings in nature
can always bless me,
and I can become a happy
and content person.
Look quickly!
Take a look!
Look at what?
Yinian, Yinian!
Look!
Look, it's your brother, Dongxu.
Are you silly or what?
Dongxu.
Do you want to take a look?
Look at yourself,
acting all foolish and infatuated.
I actually want to see.
Nope, not showing.
Dream on.
I won't show you.
You turn hostile faster
than you drop your pants.
I just...
I want to see too.
Yicheng, take a look quickly.
What is it?
Look at him like this.
Look at this.
What are you doing?
What drama are you playing out here?
These two are the same.
Both are quartzite.
- Take a look.
- Yicheng
You said that the black bones
we saw today
have something to do with the water?
It's very likely.
After an animal dies abnormally,
its bones will have residual marks.
Its bones are black.
It is very likely that it was
poisoned by heavy metals.
That...
I think between us
there is a little
misunderstanding.
You see.
- This...
- Brother, I'm sleepy.
- Sleepy?
- Then go to sleep quickly.
Go to sleep.
Be careful.
Don't run around.
So you say
this mercury poisoning is...
I want...
to protect you.
You want to protect me.
You think too much.
Do you want to take advantage of me?
Do you want to take advantage of me?
You just want
to take advantage of me.
Heavy metal
Heavy metal...
- What's wrong?
- Nuonuo.
Do you feel anything?
No. What's wrong?
I always feel like something
is watching us.
Where is it?
Don't scare me, okay?
I hope it's an illusion.
Who is it? Come out.
Who's here?
Yinian.
- Yinian.
- Yinian.
Yinian is gone
Yinian...
Yinian...
Yinian
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian, come out quickly.
Yinian, where are you?
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Stop playing.
Where are you?
Yinian.
Come out quickly.
Brother.
Answer me.
Yinian.
Yinian.
These are Yinian's shoes.
I see.
- Yicheng.
- These are his shoes.
Listen to me.
Yinian will be fine.
You have to believe me.
Yinian is so smart.
He will be fine, Yicheng.
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have let him come.
Yicheng.
It's all my fault.
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have let him come.
Yicheng.
We don't know what happened yet.
Can you pull yourself together?
He is my brother.
You don't understand.
The pain of being related by blood.
Is it only you
who can understand it?
I understood it ten years ago.
A shoe can tell you what?
It doesn't tell you anything.
Instead of guessing wildly.
Why don't you follow
the clues and keep looking?
Nuonuo is right.
We can't give up.
As long as we keep looking,
we will find him.
Yicheng, you have to believe me.
We will find Yinian.
Get up. Let's go find Yinian.
- Right. Keep looking.
- Hurry.
Go.
Yinian...
Yinian...
Are you ready?
Then let's go.
Let's go.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian...
Let's go ahead and take a look.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Hurry.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian...
Yinian.
Yinian...
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Don't worry.
We will find him.
Yinian is a smart kid.
I hope so.
Have you ever thought about
why Yinian disappeared?
What do you mean?
who took Yinian...
Is human
but not very powerful.
Is there someone here
who wants us to give up?
It's not that simple.
If it was a threat,
there should be some clues.
Maybe we came here
and our presence was leaked.
If that's the case,
the threat is real.
This forest is so big.
With just a few of us,
we might not find him.
Let's split up.
We'll go this way.
You guys go over there.
Yicheng.
There's someone there.
Who is it? Come out.
The little guy is so cute.
Do you want to hold it?
I'll pass.
Come on.
Come.
I...
It seems like it doesn't like you.
It belongs to nature.
It loves the mountains
and rivers more.
Yes.
Blue sky and white clouds.
Green mountains and rivers.
Dongxu.
What's wrong?
There's a ghost.
This is broad daylight.
Where did the ghost come from?
I saw it.
Don't worry.
Ghosts come out
at night to scare people.
I really saw it.
But there's no ghost here.
Me.
Since I was a child,
the fortune teller told me
that my eight characters
are against ghosts.
You don't believe me?
I'm here.
This ten miles of ghosts
have to go around.
Don't worry.
I'll protect you.
Ghost.
Not only is there
no signal on the phone,
but even the compass
is malfunctioning.
Normally, compasses
don't malfunction.
It seems like something is wrong.
Someone must have done something.
Nuonuo, I'm telling you.
This...
What? What is it?
Nuonuo, come with me.
Okay.
Can you slow down a little?
I can't walk anymore.
I told you.
In a deep forest like this,
wild animals
that can eat people
are a lot.
Who are you scaring here?
I think I understand now.
Before, you said
you would protect me.
In this situation,
You run faster than a rabbit.
Bastard.
Aren't I in a hurry to find Yinian?
Don't talk to me.
Okay, okay.
I'll carry you then.
No need.
I don't need you to carry me.
Hurry up.
Such a hassle.
Let's go.
Faster.
I'm going to collapse
from exhaustion.
Faster.
Just come out.
Bastard.
This place is too big.
Put me over there quickly.
Xiaosi.
What are you doing?
Go away.
Go over there.
Faster.
Go over there. Faster.
Don't look back.
No looking back.
Don't peek.
Xiaosi.
Should we go back now?
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Yes.
Go find Yicheng.
Both Yinian and Xiaosi are missing.
What's going on?
The ones who took
my little brother must be them.
What is their goal?
In these mountains,
There must be wild people.
If they have a purpose,
then all of us might be in danger.
What should we do?
We...
can't just let them
take advantage of us.
Rather than sit and wait to die,
it's better to lure
the snake out of its hole.
To lure the snake out of its hole,
We need to throw a bait as a lure.
This bait.
What are you all looking at me for?
Xiaosi.
Where did you go?
Brother promised to protect you.
Hurry back.
How did you just disappear?
Xiaosi.
Where are you?
Come out quickly.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Where are you all?
Don't move.
Dongxu....
Dongxu.
He's fine.
Take care of Dongxu.
- Okay.
- I'll go chase.
- Be careful.
- Okay.
Dongxu. Wake up, Dongxu.
Dongxu.
Stop.
Stop right there.
Where is my little brother?
Stop right there.
What are your intentions?
Tell me.
Where did you put my little brother?
I...
I...
I can tell you,
But you have to let me go.
You have to let me go.
Good.
I can promise you.
Good. I'll tell you.
Come here.
Come here, I'll tell you.
I'll tell you.
I...
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Who is it?
Go check.
It's Yicheng.
Yicheng.
What's wrong with you, Yicheng?
Yicheng!
Yicheng, wake up!
Don't scare us, Yicheng.
How is he?
Yicheng!
Yicheng, wake up! Yicheng!
Who is it?
Who is it?
Come out.
We still have a lot to do.
Yinian is waiting for us, Yicheng.
Please.
Don't sleep. Yicheng, wake up.
Yicheng, wake up!
Let's go find Yinian.
Hurry.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Some, something
What did you say? What?
There's something.
It's blocking me.
What something?
Let me, let me, let me.
Quick.
Dongxu, help him quickly.
Yicheng.
Yicheng. Dongxu.
Let's go back first.
You all go back first.
I'll stay.
Two people have already
gone missing.
Yicheng is injured again.
Let's go down the mountain
first to call for help.
What do you mean?
I want to go back with Yicheng.
What about Xiaosi?
Her fate is still unknown.
I can't leave her behind.
I don't care.
I'm going back with Yicheng now.
Let's go, Yicheng.
Dongxu.
Let's go.
Yicheng, your injury
isn't healed yet.
Let's rest a bit before we go, okay?
Dongxu, what do you think?
What's wrong, Yicheng?
Look.
What is that?
Right there.
There.
There's nothing there.
Right there.
I'm telling you, Yicheng.
Have you gone crazy?
There's nothing here.
I want to go take a look.
Yicheng, you rest for a while first.
Dongxu, you go take a look.
Dongxu.
Support me. Let's go together.
Support me.
You all go first.
I'll go get the bag.
I must figure this out.
Yicheng.
Is that thing a ghost?
It's not a ghost.
Someone is up to mischief.
But...
Look, he's floating.
Can you stop scaring yourself?
No.
Take a closer look at him.
If it's a ghost, I'll find out
the origin today too.
Dongxu, let's go.
Yicheng.
How come I see something over there?
Appears to have
flown into some house.
Let's go, check it out.
There's someone inside.
Yinian.
Are you okay?
Yinian. What are you doing here?
Sir saved me.
Mister?
It's me.
Sir, is this your house?
This is my current home.
You saved Yinian.
Brother, it was Sir who saved me.
Yes.
Here's what happened.
Let him go.
Who? Who?
Let him go.
Who?
Who is it?
Is it a person or a ghost?
Ghost, it's a ghost.
Ghost, ghost.
So you are the ghost.
What are you looking at?
I didn't make a mistake again.
That's right, sir.
So, those people.
Who exactly are they?
None of them are human.
Not human?
Isn't Xiaosi in danger?
Sir.
What do you mean "not human"?
They are all a bunch
of greedy animals.
Where's the old man?
What are you doing here?
You bunch of murderers.
Who did we kill?
You can eat indiscriminately.
But words should
not be spoken lightly.
Every night at two-thirty.
You clandestinely
discharge into the river
toxic wastewater.
Since your factory arrived,
is there still clean water
in the river?
Can this water still be drunk?
My wife and I...
lived here my whole life.
Never thought
when we grow old,
we get harmed by people like you.
Aren't you afraid of retribution?
Retribution?
Will there be any?
Then come, let it happen.
You were also raised
by your parents.
Without blue skies and white clouds.
Without this green water
and mountains.
What are we leaving
for our descendants?
Parents.
Such luxurious two words.
Ms. Han,
this old man is too talkative.
No.
Take the things.
Let's take the person away.
Bring the things here. Bring them.
All of you.
Just wait for retribution.
Sir.
We have a companion
who may have been abducted by them.
We want to understand the situation.
Alright.
I say, Yicheng.
Why didn't you let
The old man bring us along together?
Are you a blockhead?
With one old and one young person,
what if there's another mishap?
We've never been here before.
How can we be sure to find it?
Don't you trust Yicheng?
I'm telling you, Ms. Reporter.
Are you trying to sow discord
between me and Yicheng?
You've got it wrong.
Listen.
Do you hear the sound
of water up ahead?
Yes.
Just up ahead.
Finally arrived.
We must gather enough evidence.
That's our bargaining chip
for negotiations.
Let's hurry.
Let's go.
Nuonuo. Flask.
That's not it. It's not here.
Yicheng, what does this mean?
There should be another place.
Could the old man have deceived us?
Similar situations
have arisen before.
Tell me about it.
Usually, some older
manufacturing plants
lack purification equipment.
While the small factories
in remote areas
or private workshops,
in order to pass inspections,
they usually build a separate
clean water channel.
But what about the wastewater
discharge channel?
It's very well concealed.
They make their actions
clear to the public.
But they carry out
secretive actions in private.
Yes.
That's what it means.
Who did Xiaoming divorce?
Dongxu, take it.
Let's keep searching.
Dongxu.
In the future, read more
when you have nothing to do.
Who did Xiaoming divorce?
Who did Xiaoming divorce?
What does reading more
have to do with me?
Yicheng.
It sounds like
there's water ahead of us.
- Seems like it.
- Yicheng, come and take a look.
Okay.
This should be the place.
Nuonuo.
Turn off the flashlight.
No way. With the flashlight off,
we can't see anything.
Let's wait a moment. Dongxu.
Water collector.
I'll go up first to fetch water.
You guys watch the surroundings.
- Be careful.
- Okay.
Take a look at
the picture I just took.
Yicheng, are you feeling better?
I'm better.
Then, I'll go take some pictures.
Water has been collected.
Yicheng, I've taken the photo
Good, let's move quickly then.
Let's go, Dongxu.
Stop.
Move. Hurry.
Stop.
Hurry.
Hurry.
Dongxu, quick.
Dongxu...
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you, Dongxu?
My leg.
My leg.
Quick, quick, get up.
- They're catching up.
- Quick.
Today, even if I die,
I must bring you back.
You guys go quickly.
Don't mind me.
Why can't I see them?
Go ahead. Chase.
They've left.
- Let's hurry.
- Go this way.
Hurry, Dongxu.
Yicheng.
My leg...
My leg can't go on.
- You guys go first.
- No.
Dongxu, what are you talking about?
- Hurry up.
- Go.
You guys, hurry up.
Don't mind me.
- Come, let me carry you.
- Hurry up, Dongxu.
- Let's go.
- Yicheng.
Dongxu.
The evidence is in your hands.
He wouldn't dare do anything to me.
Go save Xiaosi.
I can't leave you.
No.
Stop, they're over there.
- They're coming.
- Hurry, Dongxu.
You guys, hurry up.
If you don't leave now,
our efforts will be in vain.
Dongxu.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Yicheng, hurry.
Dongxu.
- Yicheng.
- No.
Hurry.
Dongxu.
Dongxu.
Kid. Why aren't you running now?
There are still two people.
I'm limping.
They left me behind.
They are not righteous.
They abandoned you.
Hurry, tell me where.
Come here. I'll tell you.
Asking for trouble.
I've said what needs to be said.
I really don't know anything.
I'm just bored at home.
Wanted to come out
and have a walk with them.
Just let me go.
Boring.
You're quite naive.
No, I'm serious.
If I knew it was this dangerous,
I wouldn't have come
even if you beat me to death.
Don't make it hard for each other.
It seems you prefer
to tell the truth to men.
What do you mean?
Unlock your memory.
You come back.
Didn't I say it's not acceptable?
I...
I seem to have heard them
say something.
Something about blue skies
and white clouds.
Green mountains
and clear waters, and so on.
That's all I really know.
I swear to God.
Truly.
Dongxu.
Dongxu.
Ms. Han, these are their group.
How to deal with them?
The offender may be killed,
but not humiliated.
What about the humiliation?
- Take him down.
- Yes.
Dongxu.
Dongxu.
- Xiaosi.
- Dongxu.
You bunch of jerks.
Dongxu.
Stop.
Ms. Han.
Let's bandage up the wound.
Go down and rest.
Okay.
Sir.
Sir.
Where is Yinian?
Resting inside
Why just you two?
Where is the other person?
Here's the situation.
Stop.
Let's go, quickly.
Stop.
Dongxu...
Dongxu, what's wrong with you?
My leg.
My leg.
Quick, quick, get up.
They're catching up.
My leg can't go on.
You guys go first.
- No.
- Dongxu, what are you saying?
Hurry, go.
The evidence is in your hands.
He wouldn't dare do anything to me.
Go save Xiaosi.
I can't leave you.
No.
Stop, they are there.
- Dongxu.
- They're coming.
Hurry, Dongxu.
You guys, go quickly.
Dongxu...
- Hurry.
- Let's go.
Dongxu
No.
Hurry.
Dongxu.
In that case,
they might use them as leverage
to stop you.
There's no signal in these mountains
We can't call police for help
What should we do?
Yeah, Sir,
what should we do then?
The signal has been blocked by them.
Don't worry.
They won't be in danger for now.
You should rest first.
Keep your spirits up.
Dongxu.
Release our people.
Leave the evidence.
They will naturally be released.
The evidence is right here.
Release the people quickly.
This is your so-called sincerity.
Nuonuo, give it to me.
No.
We can't give it to them.
Trust me.
Quick.
The things can be given to you.
But first release the people to me.
Dongxu.
Are you alright?
Dongxu, are you okay?
Your leg.
I'm fine.
Xiaosi is still in their hands.
We have one person in your custody.
Please release them.
Release her.
Leave that child with me.
No.
Release her. I'll stay.
Yicheng.
Stay calm.
First, release Xiaosi.
Dongxu.
Let me go.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
What are you doing?
Are you really
not afraid of retribution?
Retribution?
Beast.
I will do it for her.
Sir.
What kind of specimen are you?
Persisting in error.
Dongxu.
Shut up.
Xiaosi.
I don't want to die.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop. Where are you running off to,
you little brat?
Stop.
Go on then.
"Yu'ershan Wali Nature Park"
Ms. Han,
what should we do with this child?
Follow me.
Okay.
Dongxu, slow down.
Towards that direction.
Keep going.
You'll soon be back
on the path you came from.
Xiaosi.
Take care of Dongxu.
Nuonuo, come here.
What's wrong?
This is the backup evidence.
Take it and quickly go down
the mountain to call the police.
What about you then?
I have my own matters to attend to.
Take this chance to leave quickly.
- No.
- I'm not going back.
Dongxu.
If you don't go back,
your leg will be ruined.
Do you want to be
a cripple for life?
I don't care.
I'm not going back.
Nuonuo, Xiaosi.
You two take Dongxu and go quickly.
Xiaosi,
you take Dongxu back first.
That way, there'll be someone to
watch over him on the way.
Nuonuo, listen to me.
This is my business.
You'd better not get involved.
This isn't your concern.
This is our concern.
This is fine too.
You two need to take care
of each other too.
No, it's too dangerous.
- What if...
- There is no "what if".
I'm a big journalist after all.
Trust me.
Let me go with you.
Sister, I have this doll too.
It was given to me by Dad.
Was yours also given to you by Dad?
Although my Dad is no longer here,
my brother is like a father to me,
protecting me and taking care of me.
He bought me many, many toys.
But my favorite
is the doll my Dad gave me.
Qing, close your eyes.
See what gift Dad has sent you.
Wow, what a cute little duck.
I really like it.
Thank you, Dad.
As long as you like it.
General Han,
how's the money preparation going?
Mr. Li,
give me another month's time.
I'll definitely have it
ready in a month.
No, just three days.
If the money isn't in
within three days,
be careful, I won't be lenient
with your daughter.
Qing,
you must live well.
When you grow up,
you must be a good person.
Dad, are they all bad people?
Dad.
Dad, I'll listen to you.
I'll be a good person
when I grow up.
Wake up soon.
Are you a bad person?
My dad said to be a good person.
Stop talking.
Hey, something's wrong with Ms. Han.
Alright, say a few words less.
Look.
It's right in front.
Good wine.
Bro, try it.
The wine is good.
Wow, it's really delicious.
This wine is really good.
Try the dish.
Come, come, come.
Come and eat, bro.
Where's my little brother?
Why are you guys here again?
Go away.
I must bring my brother out today.
Don't you understand human language?
Hit him for me.
Just wait.
Sister.
Yinian, be good.
Listen to your sister.
Go find your brother.
Yinian.
- Come here quickly.
- Yinian.
Yinian....
Come here quickly, Yinian.
Child.
Sister.
Yinian.
Yinian, Yinian.
- What are you doing?
- Come back quickly.
Sister.
You're not a bad person.
Come back with us.
Yinian, be good.
Listen to your sister.
Go find your brother.
I'm not going back.
Listen to your sister.
Go find your brother.
I'm not going back.
You need to go back.
Sister.
Yinian, Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
This is not where you should be.
Take Yinian back with you.
You should know the rules.
You should also know
the consequences of betrayal.
I told you to keep
a close eye on her.
Don't make any mistakes.
If you find
she's not aligned with us,
deal with her immediately.
You let her walk away openly.
No, boss, she wants to surrender.
Take us together.
The other brothers
have all gone with her.
I am determined not to go.
I even took
the initiative to call you.
I'm waiting for you.
Boss, I am loyal to you
and the group.
My loyalty to you is apparent.
There are many important things
that I haven't told her.
Are you threatening me?
Boss, please let me go.
Give me what belongs to me.
I'll go abroad,
I'll disappear forever.
Do you think you
still have a chance?
I'm begging you.
Please let me go.
There is an 80-year-old mother
in our family.
I don't want anything.
I'm begging you, just let me go.
You know too much.
Kill him.
No.
No.
Police. Don't move.
Police comrades.
Police comrades.
We've been looking forward to you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Uncle.
We know everything about you.
We will handle it strictly
according to the law.
We will give you a fair treatment.
Others have voluntarily
surrendered themselves.
We are also grateful to you.
For providing us
with valuable leads.
No matter how powerful these
criminal organizations are,
or who is shielding them,
we will ensure they face
legal consequences.
Thank you.
Thank you.
This is it.
The law is strict.
No holes will be left.
Now, announcing an important news.
Recently, the relevant departments
have issued instructions
on a serious pollution case.
Orders have been given.
All key personnel of the factory
are under investigation.
The case involves many issues.
They are ordered to halt operations
and dismantle within a time limit.
Protecting the environment
is an undeniable responsibility
for each of us.
Let's work together
to leave a beautiful blue sky and
white clouds for future generations.
Green mountains and clear waters.
"The illegal operations of
businesses in the mountainous area"
"and the misdeeds of criminal gangs"
"have greatly troubled
the surrounding villagers."
"The villagers reported
the situation multiple times,"
"and local journalists conducted
secret investigations many times."
"As a result, the criminal gangs
were severely punished,"
"and the lawbreakers
were brought to justice."
"The local government
provided the villagers"
"with significant comfort
and assistance,"
"allowing them to live
peaceful and prosperous lives."
"This calls for everyone to care for
the ecology and protect nature."
"The clear waters and blue skies
need the efforts of all of us."
My car broke down.
Can you help me?
It looks like the battery is dead.
Try this.
Thank you.
This is not a place for you.
This is not a place for you.
This is not a place for you.
This is not a place for you.
This is not a place for you.
This is not...
This is not...
Young man,
I've been talking to you
for a while now,
and I can tell by your face
and your expression
that you've been to a place
you shouldn't have been.
You've seen someone
you shouldn't have seen.
And you've said things
you shouldn't have said.
What century is this?
Are you still doing
that fortune-telling thing?
If I'm not mistaken,
you went to the local ghost village
and the maze forest.
That's why you're confused
and scared, with a black forehead
and a confused expression.
But you're lucky
to have made it out alive.
Do you know how many
young people have gone in there
and never come out?
So you
next time you pass that forest,
you better stay far away from it.
Because next time,
you won't be so lucky.
I heard
that you're going on
an adventure with Jiang Dongxu.
Can I come with you?
I'll help you out. What do you say?
Don't even think about it.
I'll tell you what,
I'll wait for your news.
You're finally awake.
You've been asleep
for a day and a night,
and you're still
talking in your sleep.
Tell me all about your
first trip around the mountain.
What was fun?
You finish your homework first.
I would be grateful.
It's summer vacation,
so I'm supposed to be
taking you out to play.
You haven't finished
your homework.
And you want me
to take you out to play?
That's annoying.
I have to stay home
and write homework every day.
Little kids should be obedient
and do their homework.
Fine, even my parents
aren't as annoying as you.
Go finish your homework first.
Your parents are not here, so I
have to be the one to supervise you.
It's pretty sweet.
Go write your homework.
Do your homework properly
and don't play with your phone.
I'm going to take a shower.
Brother, I've packed my bags.
Do you need any help with your bags?
When are we going on our adventure?
Just waiting for your orders.
Here, have some fruit.
Aren't you supposed
to be writing your homework?
I finished it.
You finished it so quickly?
Yes.
Brother, what is this?
Adults' business, don't be curious.
Go away.
Don't believe in these
superstitious things, Yicheng.
There are no ghosts in the world.
If there are ghosts, they are all
people pretending to be ghosts.
Don't think too much about it.
I've been analyzing
your situation these days
and looking up information.
Let me tell you
the person who said there
were ghosts in the ghost village
must have been trying to scare you.
He wanted you to go to him and ask
him for a way to break the curse.
His goal was to make some money.
A con artist's way of making money.
That's how it is.
You couldn't get out of the village
because you were dehydrated
and had hallucinations.
Don't think too much about it.
In a few days,
aren't we going to investigate it?
I'll also make a big news story.
Stay home and do your homework.
This is not a place for you to come.
Nuonuo, come here.
Don't run. Wait for me.
Little rascal.
Slow down.
Yicheng.
Look.
Look how happy Yinian is laughing.
You haven't taken him
out to play in a long time.
A group of immature ghosts.
This time is different.
It's very dangerous.
That's why
we're going on an adventure.
It seems like you're different
from the others.
Yes.
We're different.
Different.
Why aren't you laughing?
Let's go.
Give it to me.
Go.
Go, Yinian.
- Go, Yinian.
- Go.
Yinian, slow down.
Slow down, Yinian.
Be careful.
So beautiful.
Ghost!
Ghost!
There are no ghosts.
Come back, come back.
No.
It was just there.
There's nothing here.
You must be seeing things.
Nothing happened.
Who's taking advantage of who?
Let's go.
- Come on.
- I just saw it.
Come on.
This...
You were the one
who hugged me first.
Come over here and take a look.
What are you looking at?
Don't come over here, Yin.
Oh my God.
Come on, take a picture.
Oh my God.
Are you okay?
Did you fall?
Don't come over here.
What is this?
Don't be afraid.
It's an animal carcass.
It's been dead for a long time.
It's disgusting.
How can you be so scared?
Who's scared?
Don't wipe it on me.
Why is it black?
It looks like something
really is wrong here.
- Brother.
- Let me see.
What's wrong?
Yes.
What's wrong?
This animal during its lifetime
should have suffered
from water poisoning.
Look, its bones are all black.
Is the filming done?
Done.
We must be careful on our way.
Let's go.
Let's go, Yinian.
Let's go.
Brother. Is this water so special?
It doesn't seem
particularly special.
But many things are
invisible to the naked eye.
You need scientific instruments
to conduct experiments.
Impressive, right?
For example, like this.
Give it a shake.
I'll go find Nuonuo.
Be careful then.
Hey, Yicheng.
I don't see any issues
with this water.
Are you mistaken?
No, I'm not.
Based on reliable information,
there must be a problem
with this water.
Since we're here,
we need to figure it out.
I hope all living beings in nature
can always bless me,
and I can become a happy
and content person.
Look quickly!
Take a look!
Look at what?
Yinian, Yinian!
Look!
Look, it's your brother, Dongxu.
Are you silly or what?
Dongxu.
Do you want to take a look?
Look at yourself,
acting all foolish and infatuated.
I actually want to see.
Nope, not showing.
Dream on.
I won't show you.
You turn hostile faster
than you drop your pants.
I just...
I want to see too.
Yicheng, take a look quickly.
What is it?
Look at him like this.
Look at this.
What are you doing?
What drama are you playing out here?
These two are the same.
Both are quartzite.
- Take a look.
- Yicheng
You said that the black bones
we saw today
have something to do with the water?
It's very likely.
After an animal dies abnormally,
its bones will have residual marks.
Its bones are black.
It is very likely that it was
poisoned by heavy metals.
That...
I think between us
there is a little
misunderstanding.
You see.
- This...
- Brother, I'm sleepy.
- Sleepy?
- Then go to sleep quickly.
Go to sleep.
Be careful.
Don't run around.
So you say
this mercury poisoning is...
I want...
to protect you.
You want to protect me.
You think too much.
Do you want to take advantage of me?
Do you want to take advantage of me?
You just want
to take advantage of me.
Heavy metal
Heavy metal...
- What's wrong?
- Nuonuo.
Do you feel anything?
No. What's wrong?
I always feel like something
is watching us.
Where is it?
Don't scare me, okay?
I hope it's an illusion.
Who is it? Come out.
Who's here?
Yinian.
- Yinian.
- Yinian.
Yinian is gone
Yinian...
Yinian...
Yinian
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian, come out quickly.
Yinian, where are you?
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Stop playing.
Where are you?
Yinian.
Come out quickly.
Brother.
Answer me.
Yinian.
Yinian.
These are Yinian's shoes.
I see.
- Yicheng.
- These are his shoes.
Listen to me.
Yinian will be fine.
You have to believe me.
Yinian is so smart.
He will be fine, Yicheng.
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have let him come.
Yicheng.
It's all my fault.
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have let him come.
Yicheng.
We don't know what happened yet.
Can you pull yourself together?
He is my brother.
You don't understand.
The pain of being related by blood.
Is it only you
who can understand it?
I understood it ten years ago.
A shoe can tell you what?
It doesn't tell you anything.
Instead of guessing wildly.
Why don't you follow
the clues and keep looking?
Nuonuo is right.
We can't give up.
As long as we keep looking,
we will find him.
Yicheng, you have to believe me.
We will find Yinian.
Get up. Let's go find Yinian.
- Right. Keep looking.
- Hurry.
Go.
Yinian...
Yinian...
Are you ready?
Then let's go.
Let's go.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian...
Let's go ahead and take a look.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Hurry.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian...
Yinian.
Yinian...
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Don't worry.
We will find him.
Yinian is a smart kid.
I hope so.
Have you ever thought about
why Yinian disappeared?
What do you mean?
who took Yinian...
Is human
but not very powerful.
Is there someone here
who wants us to give up?
It's not that simple.
If it was a threat,
there should be some clues.
Maybe we came here
and our presence was leaked.
If that's the case,
the threat is real.
This forest is so big.
With just a few of us,
we might not find him.
Let's split up.
We'll go this way.
You guys go over there.
Yicheng.
There's someone there.
Who is it? Come out.
The little guy is so cute.
Do you want to hold it?
I'll pass.
Come on.
Come.
I...
It seems like it doesn't like you.
It belongs to nature.
It loves the mountains
and rivers more.
Yes.
Blue sky and white clouds.
Green mountains and rivers.
Dongxu.
What's wrong?
There's a ghost.
This is broad daylight.
Where did the ghost come from?
I saw it.
Don't worry.
Ghosts come out
at night to scare people.
I really saw it.
But there's no ghost here.
Me.
Since I was a child,
the fortune teller told me
that my eight characters
are against ghosts.
You don't believe me?
I'm here.
This ten miles of ghosts
have to go around.
Don't worry.
I'll protect you.
Ghost.
Not only is there
no signal on the phone,
but even the compass
is malfunctioning.
Normally, compasses
don't malfunction.
It seems like something is wrong.
Someone must have done something.
Nuonuo, I'm telling you.
This...
What? What is it?
Nuonuo, come with me.
Okay.
Can you slow down a little?
I can't walk anymore.
I told you.
In a deep forest like this,
wild animals
that can eat people
are a lot.
Who are you scaring here?
I think I understand now.
Before, you said
you would protect me.
In this situation,
You run faster than a rabbit.
Bastard.
Aren't I in a hurry to find Yinian?
Don't talk to me.
Okay, okay.
I'll carry you then.
No need.
I don't need you to carry me.
Hurry up.
Such a hassle.
Let's go.
Faster.
I'm going to collapse
from exhaustion.
Faster.
Just come out.
Bastard.
This place is too big.
Put me over there quickly.
Xiaosi.
What are you doing?
Go away.
Go over there.
Faster.
Go over there. Faster.
Don't look back.
No looking back.
Don't peek.
Xiaosi.
Should we go back now?
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Yes.
Go find Yicheng.
Both Yinian and Xiaosi are missing.
What's going on?
The ones who took
my little brother must be them.
What is their goal?
In these mountains,
There must be wild people.
If they have a purpose,
then all of us might be in danger.
What should we do?
We...
can't just let them
take advantage of us.
Rather than sit and wait to die,
it's better to lure
the snake out of its hole.
To lure the snake out of its hole,
We need to throw a bait as a lure.
This bait.
What are you all looking at me for?
Xiaosi.
Where did you go?
Brother promised to protect you.
Hurry back.
How did you just disappear?
Xiaosi.
Where are you?
Come out quickly.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Where are you all?
Don't move.
Dongxu....
Dongxu.
He's fine.
Take care of Dongxu.
- Okay.
- I'll go chase.
- Be careful.
- Okay.
Dongxu. Wake up, Dongxu.
Dongxu.
Stop.
Stop right there.
Where is my little brother?
Stop right there.
What are your intentions?
Tell me.
Where did you put my little brother?
I...
I...
I can tell you,
But you have to let me go.
You have to let me go.
Good.
I can promise you.
Good. I'll tell you.
Come here.
Come here, I'll tell you.
I'll tell you.
I...
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Who is it?
Go check.
It's Yicheng.
Yicheng.
What's wrong with you, Yicheng?
Yicheng!
Yicheng, wake up!
Don't scare us, Yicheng.
How is he?
Yicheng!
Yicheng, wake up! Yicheng!
Who is it?
Who is it?
Come out.
We still have a lot to do.
Yinian is waiting for us, Yicheng.
Please.
Don't sleep. Yicheng, wake up.
Yicheng, wake up!
Let's go find Yinian.
Hurry.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Some, something
What did you say? What?
There's something.
It's blocking me.
What something?
Let me, let me, let me.
Quick.
Dongxu, help him quickly.
Yicheng.
Yicheng. Dongxu.
Let's go back first.
You all go back first.
I'll stay.
Two people have already
gone missing.
Yicheng is injured again.
Let's go down the mountain
first to call for help.
What do you mean?
I want to go back with Yicheng.
What about Xiaosi?
Her fate is still unknown.
I can't leave her behind.
I don't care.
I'm going back with Yicheng now.
Let's go, Yicheng.
Dongxu.
Let's go.
Yicheng, your injury
isn't healed yet.
Let's rest a bit before we go, okay?
Dongxu, what do you think?
What's wrong, Yicheng?
Look.
What is that?
Right there.
There.
There's nothing there.
Right there.
I'm telling you, Yicheng.
Have you gone crazy?
There's nothing here.
I want to go take a look.
Yicheng, you rest for a while first.
Dongxu, you go take a look.
Dongxu.
Support me. Let's go together.
Support me.
You all go first.
I'll go get the bag.
I must figure this out.
Yicheng.
Is that thing a ghost?
It's not a ghost.
Someone is up to mischief.
But...
Look, he's floating.
Can you stop scaring yourself?
No.
Take a closer look at him.
If it's a ghost, I'll find out
the origin today too.
Dongxu, let's go.
Yicheng.
How come I see something over there?
Appears to have
flown into some house.
Let's go, check it out.
There's someone inside.
Yinian.
Are you okay?
Yinian. What are you doing here?
Sir saved me.
Mister?
It's me.
Sir, is this your house?
This is my current home.
You saved Yinian.
Brother, it was Sir who saved me.
Yes.
Here's what happened.
Let him go.
Who? Who?
Let him go.
Who?
Who is it?
Is it a person or a ghost?
Ghost, it's a ghost.
Ghost, ghost.
So you are the ghost.
What are you looking at?
I didn't make a mistake again.
That's right, sir.
So, those people.
Who exactly are they?
None of them are human.
Not human?
Isn't Xiaosi in danger?
Sir.
What do you mean "not human"?
They are all a bunch
of greedy animals.
Where's the old man?
What are you doing here?
You bunch of murderers.
Who did we kill?
You can eat indiscriminately.
But words should
not be spoken lightly.
Every night at two-thirty.
You clandestinely
discharge into the river
toxic wastewater.
Since your factory arrived,
is there still clean water
in the river?
Can this water still be drunk?
My wife and I...
lived here my whole life.
Never thought
when we grow old,
we get harmed by people like you.
Aren't you afraid of retribution?
Retribution?
Will there be any?
Then come, let it happen.
You were also raised
by your parents.
Without blue skies and white clouds.
Without this green water
and mountains.
What are we leaving
for our descendants?
Parents.
Such luxurious two words.
Ms. Han,
this old man is too talkative.
No.
Take the things.
Let's take the person away.
Bring the things here. Bring them.
All of you.
Just wait for retribution.
Sir.
We have a companion
who may have been abducted by them.
We want to understand the situation.
Alright.
I say, Yicheng.
Why didn't you let
The old man bring us along together?
Are you a blockhead?
With one old and one young person,
what if there's another mishap?
We've never been here before.
How can we be sure to find it?
Don't you trust Yicheng?
I'm telling you, Ms. Reporter.
Are you trying to sow discord
between me and Yicheng?
You've got it wrong.
Listen.
Do you hear the sound
of water up ahead?
Yes.
Just up ahead.
Finally arrived.
We must gather enough evidence.
That's our bargaining chip
for negotiations.
Let's hurry.
Let's go.
Nuonuo. Flask.
That's not it. It's not here.
Yicheng, what does this mean?
There should be another place.
Could the old man have deceived us?
Similar situations
have arisen before.
Tell me about it.
Usually, some older
manufacturing plants
lack purification equipment.
While the small factories
in remote areas
or private workshops,
in order to pass inspections,
they usually build a separate
clean water channel.
But what about the wastewater
discharge channel?
It's very well concealed.
They make their actions
clear to the public.
But they carry out
secretive actions in private.
Yes.
That's what it means.
Who did Xiaoming divorce?
Dongxu, take it.
Let's keep searching.
Dongxu.
In the future, read more
when you have nothing to do.
Who did Xiaoming divorce?
Who did Xiaoming divorce?
What does reading more
have to do with me?
Yicheng.
It sounds like
there's water ahead of us.
- Seems like it.
- Yicheng, come and take a look.
Okay.
This should be the place.
Nuonuo.
Turn off the flashlight.
No way. With the flashlight off,
we can't see anything.
Let's wait a moment. Dongxu.
Water collector.
I'll go up first to fetch water.
You guys watch the surroundings.
- Be careful.
- Okay.
Take a look at
the picture I just took.
Yicheng, are you feeling better?
I'm better.
Then, I'll go take some pictures.
Water has been collected.
Yicheng, I've taken the photo
Good, let's move quickly then.
Let's go, Dongxu.
Stop.
Move. Hurry.
Stop.
Hurry.
Hurry.
Dongxu, quick.
Dongxu...
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you, Dongxu?
My leg.
My leg.
Quick, quick, get up.
- They're catching up.
- Quick.
Today, even if I die,
I must bring you back.
You guys go quickly.
Don't mind me.
Why can't I see them?
Go ahead. Chase.
They've left.
- Let's hurry.
- Go this way.
Hurry, Dongxu.
Yicheng.
My leg...
My leg can't go on.
- You guys go first.
- No.
Dongxu, what are you talking about?
- Hurry up.
- Go.
You guys, hurry up.
Don't mind me.
- Come, let me carry you.
- Hurry up, Dongxu.
- Let's go.
- Yicheng.
Dongxu.
The evidence is in your hands.
He wouldn't dare do anything to me.
Go save Xiaosi.
I can't leave you.
No.
Stop, they're over there.
- They're coming.
- Hurry, Dongxu.
You guys, hurry up.
If you don't leave now,
our efforts will be in vain.
Dongxu.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Yicheng, hurry.
Dongxu.
- Yicheng.
- No.
Hurry.
Dongxu.
Dongxu.
Kid. Why aren't you running now?
There are still two people.
I'm limping.
They left me behind.
They are not righteous.
They abandoned you.
Hurry, tell me where.
Come here. I'll tell you.
Asking for trouble.
I've said what needs to be said.
I really don't know anything.
I'm just bored at home.
Wanted to come out
and have a walk with them.
Just let me go.
Boring.
You're quite naive.
No, I'm serious.
If I knew it was this dangerous,
I wouldn't have come
even if you beat me to death.
Don't make it hard for each other.
It seems you prefer
to tell the truth to men.
What do you mean?
Unlock your memory.
You come back.
Didn't I say it's not acceptable?
I...
I seem to have heard them
say something.
Something about blue skies
and white clouds.
Green mountains
and clear waters, and so on.
That's all I really know.
I swear to God.
Truly.
Dongxu.
Dongxu.
Ms. Han, these are their group.
How to deal with them?
The offender may be killed,
but not humiliated.
What about the humiliation?
- Take him down.
- Yes.
Dongxu.
Dongxu.
- Xiaosi.
- Dongxu.
You bunch of jerks.
Dongxu.
Stop.
Ms. Han.
Let's bandage up the wound.
Go down and rest.
Okay.
Sir.
Sir.
Where is Yinian?
Resting inside
Why just you two?
Where is the other person?
Here's the situation.
Stop.
Let's go, quickly.
Stop.
Dongxu...
Dongxu, what's wrong with you?
My leg.
My leg.
Quick, quick, get up.
They're catching up.
My leg can't go on.
You guys go first.
- No.
- Dongxu, what are you saying?
Hurry, go.
The evidence is in your hands.
He wouldn't dare do anything to me.
Go save Xiaosi.
I can't leave you.
No.
Stop, they are there.
- Dongxu.
- They're coming.
Hurry, Dongxu.
You guys, go quickly.
Dongxu...
- Hurry.
- Let's go.
Dongxu
No.
Hurry.
Dongxu.
In that case,
they might use them as leverage
to stop you.
There's no signal in these mountains
We can't call police for help
What should we do?
Yeah, Sir,
what should we do then?
The signal has been blocked by them.
Don't worry.
They won't be in danger for now.
You should rest first.
Keep your spirits up.
Dongxu.
Release our people.
Leave the evidence.
They will naturally be released.
The evidence is right here.
Release the people quickly.
This is your so-called sincerity.
Nuonuo, give it to me.
No.
We can't give it to them.
Trust me.
Quick.
The things can be given to you.
But first release the people to me.
Dongxu.
Are you alright?
Dongxu, are you okay?
Your leg.
I'm fine.
Xiaosi is still in their hands.
We have one person in your custody.
Please release them.
Release her.
Leave that child with me.
No.
Release her. I'll stay.
Yicheng.
Stay calm.
First, release Xiaosi.
Dongxu.
Let me go.
Xiaosi.
Xiaosi.
What are you doing?
Are you really
not afraid of retribution?
Retribution?
Beast.
I will do it for her.
Sir.
What kind of specimen are you?
Persisting in error.
Dongxu.
Shut up.
Xiaosi.
I don't want to die.
Yicheng.
Yicheng.
Stop.
Stop.
Stop. Where are you running off to,
you little brat?
Stop.
Go on then.
"Yu'ershan Wali Nature Park"
Ms. Han,
what should we do with this child?
Follow me.
Okay.
Dongxu, slow down.
Towards that direction.
Keep going.
You'll soon be back
on the path you came from.
Xiaosi.
Take care of Dongxu.
Nuonuo, come here.
What's wrong?
This is the backup evidence.
Take it and quickly go down
the mountain to call the police.
What about you then?
I have my own matters to attend to.
Take this chance to leave quickly.
- No.
- I'm not going back.
Dongxu.
If you don't go back,
your leg will be ruined.
Do you want to be
a cripple for life?
I don't care.
I'm not going back.
Nuonuo, Xiaosi.
You two take Dongxu and go quickly.
Xiaosi,
you take Dongxu back first.
That way, there'll be someone to
watch over him on the way.
Nuonuo, listen to me.
This is my business.
You'd better not get involved.
This isn't your concern.
This is our concern.
This is fine too.
You two need to take care
of each other too.
No, it's too dangerous.
- What if...
- There is no "what if".
I'm a big journalist after all.
Trust me.
Let me go with you.
Sister, I have this doll too.
It was given to me by Dad.
Was yours also given to you by Dad?
Although my Dad is no longer here,
my brother is like a father to me,
protecting me and taking care of me.
He bought me many, many toys.
But my favorite
is the doll my Dad gave me.
Qing, close your eyes.
See what gift Dad has sent you.
Wow, what a cute little duck.
I really like it.
Thank you, Dad.
As long as you like it.
General Han,
how's the money preparation going?
Mr. Li,
give me another month's time.
I'll definitely have it
ready in a month.
No, just three days.
If the money isn't in
within three days,
be careful, I won't be lenient
with your daughter.
Qing,
you must live well.
When you grow up,
you must be a good person.
Dad, are they all bad people?
Dad.
Dad, I'll listen to you.
I'll be a good person
when I grow up.
Wake up soon.
Are you a bad person?
My dad said to be a good person.
Stop talking.
Hey, something's wrong with Ms. Han.
Alright, say a few words less.
Look.
It's right in front.
Good wine.
Bro, try it.
The wine is good.
Wow, it's really delicious.
This wine is really good.
Try the dish.
Come, come, come.
Come and eat, bro.
Where's my little brother?
Why are you guys here again?
Go away.
I must bring my brother out today.
Don't you understand human language?
Hit him for me.
Just wait.
Sister.
Yinian, be good.
Listen to your sister.
Go find your brother.
Yinian.
- Come here quickly.
- Yinian.
Yinian....
Come here quickly, Yinian.
Child.
Sister.
Yinian.
Yinian, Yinian.
- What are you doing?
- Come back quickly.
Sister.
You're not a bad person.
Come back with us.
Yinian, be good.
Listen to your sister.
Go find your brother.
I'm not going back.
Listen to your sister.
Go find your brother.
I'm not going back.
You need to go back.
Sister.
Yinian, Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
Yinian.
This is not where you should be.
Take Yinian back with you.
You should know the rules.
You should also know
the consequences of betrayal.
I told you to keep
a close eye on her.
Don't make any mistakes.
If you find
she's not aligned with us,
deal with her immediately.
You let her walk away openly.
No, boss, she wants to surrender.
Take us together.
The other brothers
have all gone with her.
I am determined not to go.
I even took
the initiative to call you.
I'm waiting for you.
Boss, I am loyal to you
and the group.
My loyalty to you is apparent.
There are many important things
that I haven't told her.
Are you threatening me?
Boss, please let me go.
Give me what belongs to me.
I'll go abroad,
I'll disappear forever.
Do you think you
still have a chance?
I'm begging you.
Please let me go.
There is an 80-year-old mother
in our family.
I don't want anything.
I'm begging you, just let me go.
You know too much.
Kill him.
No.
No.
Police. Don't move.
Police comrades.
Police comrades.
We've been looking forward to you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Uncle.
We know everything about you.
We will handle it strictly
according to the law.
We will give you a fair treatment.
Others have voluntarily
surrendered themselves.
We are also grateful to you.
For providing us
with valuable leads.
No matter how powerful these
criminal organizations are,
or who is shielding them,
we will ensure they face
legal consequences.
Thank you.
Thank you.
This is it.
The law is strict.
No holes will be left.
Now, announcing an important news.
Recently, the relevant departments
have issued instructions
on a serious pollution case.
Orders have been given.
All key personnel of the factory
are under investigation.
The case involves many issues.
They are ordered to halt operations
and dismantle within a time limit.
Protecting the environment
is an undeniable responsibility
for each of us.
Let's work together
to leave a beautiful blue sky and
white clouds for future generations.
Green mountains and clear waters.
"The illegal operations of
businesses in the mountainous area"
"and the misdeeds of criminal gangs"
"have greatly troubled
the surrounding villagers."
"The villagers reported
the situation multiple times,"
"and local journalists conducted
secret investigations many times."
"As a result, the criminal gangs
were severely punished,"
"and the lawbreakers
were brought to justice."
"The local government
provided the villagers"
"with significant comfort
and assistance,"
"allowing them to live
peaceful and prosperous lives."
"This calls for everyone to care for
the ecology and protect nature."
"The clear waters and blue skies
need the efforts of all of us."
