[Studio Banshan] Hello. He Shan. This is Fei Ke. Wait me for a moment. Hi, Fei Ke. We haven't caught up in a while. How is it going? I'm at the airport. [Unknown Caller] I'd like to say goodbye to you in person. Goodbye? Where are you going? Can you come? I have something I'd like to give you. Where are you now? [Flights to Suvarna] [I'm here. Where are you?] What's wrong? What's wrong? Help, somebody, help! Call an ambulance, please. Come on, make way. Make way. Let's go. Come on, make way. Don't crowd around. Let's make way. Make way. Stop staring. What's your relationship with him? I'm his friend. What's his name? I'm sorry, but you can't get in the car. What're you doing? Hold still. [Regeneration] [Episode 1] Ms. Shan, there's a letter for you. A letter? Thank you. Dear Ms. He Shan, your friend, Mr. Fei Ke, unfortunately passed away due to an illness on March 25, 2017. [Obituary] A memorial ceremony will be held on April 8, 2017 at his former residence, Chong'an Island, with a reading of his will. You're mentioned in the will. By the wishes of the deceased, I'm grateful to all the friends and relatives for coming to offer their condolences in this time of grief. Ms. He Shan. Please. My name's Liu Mo. I'm the boss's driver and assistant. I'm assigned to bring everyone to the island today. Hello. How long will it take? About 20 minutes. It's soon. Thank you. Come in, please. My condolences. Why are you giving it to me? He's a guest, too. Why make such a big deal out of it? Let's just light some incense, pay our respects, say farewell to him and that's all. As for what his will says about me, read it to me now. Let's wait for everyone to arrive. There are two more. Who else? Take it easy, please. Let's follow Fei Ke's arrangement. Once everyone is here, we can listen to the will together. Please take a break for now. What's your relationship with him? We were not that close. Then why would you be mentioned in the will? How am I supposed to know? Diabetes? Type one or type two? Don't open your mouth and remove all doubt. Who are you? My name's He Shan, a journalist from Quanzai Times magazine. May I have your name? Chen Shufa. "Shu" as in a big tree and "fa" as in getting rich. Hi, my name's Xuan'er. It's not "Xuan'er" with Erhua, [*Erhua is a Chinese phonological process] but Xuan'er. You're all Fei Ke's friends, right? I wonder what he said in his will. I'm super curious. Right, Fei Ke was always unpredictable. Even his funeral is so mysterious. It's just a few of us? Didn't he have any relatives? Everyone's here. Wait a moment, everyone. I'll get ready. Fei Ke was so outgoing and hospitable. He wouldn't want us to be weepy and sad. A memorial ceremony is just a gathering of friends and family to talk about him. Why don't you all introduce yourselves? We've already done that. Mr. Chen is the chairman of Nanlin Mining. My name's He Shan, a journalist. I'm Cheng Hao, unemployed. I'm Su Qian, an ordinary person. People invited here by Fei Ke can hardly be ordinary. At least the relationship with him was anything but ordinary. You're all Fei Ke's friends? No, I'm just here to have fun and have a look. What's the fun in a funeral? Why are you wearing sunglasses in the house? What's your relationship with Fei Ke? Right, Madam. What's your relationship with Fei Ke? The five of us don't know each other, so why bring us together for his memorial? Everybody, come with me, please. Is Fei Ke really in there? Wasn't he cremated? Not yet. How did he die? Everybody, please tell us your story with Fei Ke. It was his last wish. Everyone has to do that. I can't read his official will until everyone's finished. That's nonsense. He's dead. What's there to tell? Your request is too weird. Who knows if it's Fei Ke's last wish or if you're up to no good. I'd like to see if he's dead or alive. I'm just following his wishes. It's very simple. All you have to do is tell us how you knew Fei Ke and what kind of person he was in your eyes. After that, everyone can see him for the last time. I can't see him alive or dead. Why should I tell you? If everyone minds, I'll leave you to it. That's it. Where's the will? Give it to me. Come on. Don't push him. He's just a hired hand. Your boss is dead. Why are you still working for him? Take me back now. I'm done here. You guys are right. Fei Ke's not dead at all. I told you to leave, but you didn't listen. And now we've been played by him again. We thought we were here to see him, but maybe he's hiding behind and watching us. Don't go. You don't go. Open the door. Open the door. Open the door. Open the door. Do what I say and you'll see him. He's gone. Fei Ke tricked us again. What do you mean "again"? You've been tricked by Fei Ke, too? I don't know if I count. I'm sure I count. So you're not Fei Ke's friends. You're his dupes. Stop looking for it. Since he tricked us into coming here, he wouldn't leave us any way out. Can your phones find a signal? Half a bar. It's gone now. None. I don't think Fei Ke wants to harm us. He just wants to get information out of us. Let's think of a way and find some clues as to why he's locking us up here. Well, we can't escape anyway, so let's play the game all the way. When was the last time any of you contacted him? March 2016. 2014. November 2015. Is this Fei Ke's WeChat account? What? I'm not interested in your privacy, but his avatar on your phone is different from that on mine. Look! Is the person we know the same? Check your phones and see which account you added. This one. They are completely different. They are different at first glance but if you look closely, they are the same person. So the Fei Ke we know are five different persons. It's too freaky. Come on, can you let us out of here? What's the point of keeping us here? It's annoying. Stop yelling. Fei Ke, we'll do as you say. Each of us will tell the stories that went down with you. We hope that you'll keep your promise. Either read the will or let us go. Given the circumstances, let's treat it as a memorial ceremony. But he's not dead. He wants us to piece together a complete picture of him from our individual perspectives. What's the purpose of that? It's pretty clear. He wants us to understand the real him. Right, since we all have blind spots in our knowledge of him, maybe piecing the story together will lead us to the answer. So... Who's first? I will. I thought you were not that close to him. Fei Ke called me Dad. He was my son-in-law. This way, please. Thank you... Mr. Chen, hello... What a great joy. Congratulations... [Groom Fei Ke, Bride Chen Jiajia] Hello, may I see your invitation, please? I'm the groom's classmate. [He Shan] Ms. He Shan, right? Your seat is at table ten. May I have your cell phone, please? What's wrong? We don't allow photos or videos at the wedding. Why? It's because the newlyweds value their privacy. We ask for your understanding. That's it. [No photos or videos. Do not unseal.] Hurry... I'm coming... Hello, are you also friends with Fei Ke? Yes. Hello. You're also a friend of the groom? Did it ever occur to you that maybe we've known each other before? No way. We've never even met. I mean, maybe there's a connection between us that we don't even know about. Maybe Fei Ke's intention is to make us find those connections and then find the answer. What answer? The real purpose behind bringing us here. Did he have to make it so mysterious and complicated? He's a liar. No one trusts his words. He's not just a liar but a murderer. He killed my daughter. At the end of 2014, my daughter returned after studying in England. In the spring of 2015, she met Fei Ke. Hello, please sign in here. This way, please. Thank you for being here at the Haiteng Charity Race Night for Caring Star Children. Tonight, all the money we raise will support our star children. [Caring Star Children, Haiteng Charity Gala] What's wrong... What's wrong? Sweetie... Don't be scared... Look. Look. Is it magical? Want to know how? Good boy. No more crying. Let's finish the performance as planned. And then I'll reveal the secret to you, okay? Thank you. Tell everyone not to crowd, not to stare, not to applaud. Everyone, please don't crowd, stare, or applaud. And let the boy perform quietly. Thank you. You're his brother? No, I'm here for the event, too. You have a way with children. Autistic children are children from the stars. They're particularly focused on one area, but they'll overreact to external stimuli, such as applause and spectators, leading to nervousness and mania. Do you have siblings? I have a little brother. No wonder. You were also invited by An? No, he invited my dad. My dad wasn't available, so I came in his place. So did I. Did you study abroad? How do you know? Just a guess. Seems like it. I just came back. My dad wants me to socialize more and make some friends. Where did you study? New York. New York. I liked the area around East Village and Tribeca. I also like downtown, but my school is in Harlem... Harlem Village. You went to Columbia University? Business School. I've been there, but there's not much to eat. Only the Chinese restaurant across the street from the main gate is okay. Oris. Cowpea and shredded pork rice. I came back from England. I studied design at Saint Martins. May I have your name? My name is Chen Jiajia. I'm Fei Ke. After getting to know each other for less than six months, they were considering tying the knot. [Dad] Hello? I'm watching a movie with my friends. I'm hanging up. Why are you lying? I can't be bothered to explain to him. Explain? Can't you just say I'm your boyfriend? He'll definitely pick on you and say we're moving too fast. I don't know what kind of boyfriend I should find to satisfy him. If he's not happy with me, I can break up with you. Fei Ke, what are you talking about? Your dad's so successful. It's only natural that he looks down on me. I'm not good enough for you. How come? I love you very much, but I don't want to cause you any trouble. I also don't want to affect your relationship with your dad. You've just returned to China. You're just starting out. I'm sure you'll be great in the future. Sir, wait for me. Sure. He's asleep. Well, then introduce me another time. It's my fault for living so far away. Blame me... I'll work hard to buy a villa in this neighborhood so that it's easy for you to come home to see Dad. And for Dad to come home to see his grandchildren in the future. Sir. You can go. Sure. Dad. You scared me. What time is it? 12 o'clock. What day is tomorrow? The anniversary of Mom's death. We're going to visit your mom's grave tomorrow morning. Can you get up? I can. Who are you out late with? A friend. A man or a woman? It's none of your business. Who's this guy? Are you spying on me? What's his name? What's his relationship with you? He's Fei Ke, my boyfriend for now and husband for the future. We're getting married. Bah. Getting married? How long have you known each other? Do you know him? Do you? I know. We've known each other for six months. He was in a fund management company, but now he's starting his own business. We're very much in love. The threshold for a gold card at Chengjiang Bank is half a million yuan. He's a man who's almost 30. Still can't get into the VIP lounge. I don't get it. You think such a guy will succeed? You're playing with your life, you know? He has a master's degree from Columbia University, very capable. I don't know what Columbia or Colombia is. Columbia University, an Ivy League school, don't you know? I don't know that. I only know, your degree from St. Martin's, I paid for it, right? The clothes you wear, the sports car you drive, I bought them for you, right? Money isn't just for spending. It's also a yardstick to measure one's ability, you know? My yardstick is up here and you're marrying someone whose yardstick is down here. He's been having a rough time since returning to China. He'll get used to it soon. Just wait. How about waiting until he ends up a loser? You're the only daughter I have. I've been building this business. And you want me to give it to this guy? Who cares about your business? We can earn our own money. Still talking tough. I'll freeze your credit card tomorrow, so you'll know how hard it is to make money. Don't bother. I'll do it myself. You... If Mom were here, she'd definitely support me. Scientific psychological research can give you a greater understanding of the real world as it relates to the real problems we face daily. And when those problems arise... [Chen Jiajia] Hi, Jiajia. Fought with your dad again? What happened? Don't let his emotions control you. Fei Ke, I want you to be my side. Really? Then open the curtains and see. Where did you buy the flowers? Found them by the roadside. Fei Ke... Be good. Go to bed now. I'm right here. You can see me anytime. Hello? Get up. Ready to go. I'm not going. Don't be so headstrong. I admit I was wrong, okay? I shouldn't have sent anyone to spy on you. I apologize. I'm really not going. If you want to go, go yourself. I've apologized to you. What more do you want? Get down on my knees and beg you? Every year, we go to see your mom together. If you don't go this time, how can I explain to your mom? Unless... Give you a new card. Raise your credit limit. I don't want money. What do you want? Unless you promise to meet Fei Ke. Your father agreed to meet me? Let's do it here. Whatever you say. Take it easy. I know the manager and can get a discount. This place serves Western food. Will your dad be okay with it? Who cares? As long as I'm okay with it. Come on, our goal is to get him to accept me. You have to make him comfortable. I saw an interview with him earlier. He likes spicy food, right? Yeah, that's why he's so grumpy. Then this place doesn't suit his taste. How about this? Come to my place on Thursday night. I'll cook. Would you mind? To your place? Not a good idea. It's more relaxed and less formal at home. I'm just worried about your cooking. Well, you'll have to try it then. Jiajia never worried about money. What she needed was a considerate, gentle man who could tolerate her tantrums. You actually didn't care about whether the guy's loaded or not, but if he's reliable, right? Then, he seemed reliable, didn't he? Having dinner at his place? The house Fei Ke rented was only 30 square meters. It couldn't even set a table. We went to another house. Luo, I send you an address. Let's go to another place. Where's this place? Fei Ke said he has another house on Songshan Road, by Outer Ringway. Wait, do you remember the exact location? Songshan Road. Zhang... Zhanghua Road. What's the name of that community? It's... Something Haoting. Yujin Haoting. Right. Right... That's the place! Room 701, Building Six. How do you know? That's not his home.
