Apparently, Zhang Hua and the audience, who were lost in their own imaginations, had all misunderstood. Liu Ruyan's residence was right here, and she was simply going homecoming with Zhang Hua, and also returning his sunglasses.
This was naturally a bit disappointing for the audience who were hoping to see something more.
However, from Zhang Hua's kidnapping of the finance company manager, to a series of battles of wits with He Shangsheng, and finally the conclusion on the bus, it had already satisfied the expectations of most viewers.
So no one felt this was bad; instead, they hoped to see how the plot would develop next.
Why would Zhang Hua, who only had four weeks left to live, bother He Shangsheng? And as a kidnapper, why did he have to kidnap someone from a finance company?
What kind of inside story was hidden within this? It made them itch with curiosity.
He Shangsheng on his side was also analyzing Zhang Hua's motives, but unfortunately, there was no result.
The scene shifted to a dimly lit bar, where Zhang Hua, wearing the human skin mask he had used when first filming He Shangsheng, was talking to someone who looked like a big boss.
Zhang Hua was helping him authenticate a sapphire.
During the authentication process, the big boss directly staged a scene of double-crossing, decisively shooting and killing two foreign gang members.
Zhang Hua, on the other hand, offered to help the big boss sell the goods but would charge a 20% commission.
Then the scene shifted to the big boss arriving at his own company with a group of henchmen.
And their company was in the same building as the finance company Zhang Hua had caused trouble with!
He Shangsheng was still bothering the manager who had been kidnapped earlier, but the manager, having accepted Zhang Hua's money, evaded the questions.
As for Zhang Hua, he was watching everything inside the gang boss's company through surveillance cameras, including the safe's password.
He placed a screw in a jewelry box, though his purpose was unknown.
However, in the next moment, the audience was startled by Zhang Hua; his illness flared up, and he spat a mouthful of blood directly onto the wall, which also indicated that his time was running out...
The scene shifted to He Shangsheng in his office, analyzing Zhang Hua's purpose with his colleagues.
But each colleague was not paying attention. After the colleagues left, He Shangsheng opened a package, and inside was the same jewelry box with the screw that Zhang Hua had!
What did this screw represent?
As the plot continued, He Shangsheng began investigating the "transportation" company he suspected was problematic.
He also learned about the relationship between Baldy and Zhang Peter, and Zhang Peter was Zhang Hua after he had changed his appearance.
This point also made the audience feel like they had grasped some crucial information.
He Shangsheng snuck into the building, entered the finance company Zhang Hua had robbed earlier, and found a missing screw hole in the ceiling of a ventilation duct in the finance company.
He climbed up and continued climbing all the way to above the safe of that problematic "transportation" company!
There he found the camera equipment Zhang Hua had left behind.
All of this was within Zhang Hua's plan. Just as He Shangsheng was posing for the camera, Zhang Hua, in his car, ignited the camera.
The movement in the ventilation duct immediately caught the attention of Baldy's subordinates.
He Shangsheng was stunned; he felt he had fallen into a trap!
But at this point, the only path before him was to escape.
Just after he evaded the first group of subordinates' search, his phone rang; it was Zhang Hua calling.
With Zhang Hua's help and guidance, He Shangsheng went downstairs, arriving at the so-called safe exit at the last moment.
As it turned out, He Shangsheng was still tricked!
Zhang Hua was actually using him to distract Baldy's men, while Zhang Hua, on the other end of the screen, had already begun his operation.
Another battle of wits! This plot twist also made the audience exclaim that they couldn't take it anymore!
Because most people had actually been fooled by Zhang Hua.
Zhang Hua, on the other hand, drove into the building's parking lot, switched to a car identical to Baldy's, put on a bald cap, and leisurely sat in the car, waiting for Baldy's subordinates to come to him.
Clearly, he had succeeded once again.
However, He Shangsheng also escaped and was cornered by Baldy's men while pursuing Zhang Hua.
With some cooperation between the police and the criminal, they successfully escaped Baldy's pursuit.
And at this moment in the car, Zhang Hua and He Shangsheng's positions had already swapped.
The battle of wits between the two seemed to have quietly begun again.
"Same old rules, if we reach the police station, you win!" After a round of back-and-forth, Zhang Hua, who was driving, uttered a speechless line.
"Alright! You won't escape this time!" He Shangsheng was full of confidence, but his body did not relax; he held a gun pointed at Zhang Hua.
But Zhang Hua didn't care; he floored the accelerator and disregarded everything else.
To He Shangsheng's horror, the car crashed directly into a concrete barrier!
The audience had thought Zhang Hua would escape with an even more absurd maneuver, but it turned out like this?
The car broke down, and the box containing the jewels was also flung out.
Then, the two of them stumbled out of the car, swaying as they walked towards the box.
Although He Shangsheng got the box, he immediately fainted.
Zhang Hua, on the other hand, miraculously got up again and left with the box.
This gamble of luck, this battle of wits, clearly Zhang Hua had won again!
The scene shifted to He Shangsheng; he was not injured, only stunned.
But Huang Qifa discovered painkillers that only late-stage cancer patients would take, which led him to believe that He Shangsheng was the one who was sick, causing a complete 180-degree turn in his attitude towards He Shangsheng.
And He Shangsheng naturally wouldn't clarify these things...
Just then, He Shangsheng's colleague delivered specific information about Zhang Peter.
It turned out that Zhang Peter had died almost a year ago, and the relationship between Zhang Peter and Zhang Hua also surfaced.
On the other end of the scene, Zhang Hua contacted Baldy, demanding 20 million.
Through their conversation, the audience also learned about the feud between the two.
He Shangsheng, based on the clues he had, brought police officers to the bar Zhang Hua frequented, intending to arrest Zhang Hua.
After a verbal sparring match between the two, He Shangsheng also started playing tricks.
"Don't you love to play? I'll give you one minute to convince me. As long as you convince me, I won't let my brothers rush in and arrest you!"
He Shangsheng, played by Jacky Cheung, with that vengeful look, truly resonated with many people.
Before Zhang Hua could agree, he had already started counting down: "59... 58..."
He's quite vengeful!
This was the audience's first thought.
Zhang Hua turned to him and smiled: "Baldy has to deliver the goods in three days. The jewels are with me. I'll arrange a trade with him; he'll definitely show up. Then you can catch him! I'm helping you!"
He Shangsheng was unmoved, speaking without even looking up: "Still 30 seconds!"
Zhang Hua looked at him and continued: "International police from all over are trying to catch him. As long as you catch him, you can be transferred from desk duty at any time!"
He Shangsheng still said, unmoved: "Still 15 seconds!"
