> Resúmenes de Eight Hundred
Tian Jinhai remained paranoid about his safety, constantly worried that Chen Hui might try to kill him. To protect himself, he frequently left letters addressed to the Public Security Bureau at his hotel’s front desk, purposefully never actually mailing them. He explained to Hui that while a letter at the front desk was an obvious red flag, his use of a PO box—a mere string of numbers—kept the hotel staff in the dark about the recipient.
He called this his "insurance policy," reminding Hui that all’s fair in war. When Jinhai asked if their partnership would continue, Hui instead drove him directly to the Jiangbin Municipal PSB. Standing outside the station, Hui demanded to know what it would take for Jinhai to leave him alone. Jinhai remained unmoved, threatening Hui with prison if he refused to cooperate.
In response, Hui called Kang Limin, a police officer in charge of cough syrup regulation and a former subordinate of Hui's father. Hui boldly warned Jinhai that because his father was the legendary "Lee Rock" of Fengyang, any report letter would be back in Hui’s hands within half a day. He gave Jinhai until the next morning to leave town, threatening him with time in the detention center.
When Kang Limin walked out to greet Hui, a defeated Jinhai decided to walk away. Later, Hui called the hotel and was relieved to learn that Jinhai had checked out early that morning. Believing the threat had vanished, he celebrated with Gao Songge after her dialysis treatment. He even surprised her with a Polaroid camera as an early birthday gift, and the two enjoyed a rare moment of happiness taking photos together.
However, their peace was shattered when Jinhai called Hui’s phone. Jinhai wasn’t gone; he was at the home of Hui’s parents. Earlier that day, Jinhai had visited the Ding Yue Clinic, introducing himself to Ding Yue as Hui’s former boss and benefactor from Jin'gang. He claimed he was the one who had provided the equipment for Hui’s roller skating rink on credit. Grateful for his supposed kindness, Ding Yue invited him home for dinner.
When Hui arrived, he found a tense atmosphere. Chen Hongbing was already suspicious, questioning Jinhai about his "clothing trade" and his stay at the Coal Mine Guesthouse. Hongbing found it hard to believe that a businessman would provide equipment to Hui on credit without a hidden motive, and he correctly suspected Jinhai was Hui’s supplier in the illegal cough syrup trade.
Hongbing met with Director Tong to organize a late-night raid on the guesthouse under the pretext of a prostitution sting to detain Jinhai. To ensure no one tipped off the targets, Hongbing ordered all participating officers to surrender their communication devices. Meanwhile, a crisis unfolded at the Chen home. Hui’s grandfather collapsed from kidney failure. Ding Yue desperately tried to reach Hongbing, but his phone had been confiscated for the mission.
She eventually contacted Gao Songge, but Hui was also unreachable as he had rushed to the guesthouse. At the guesthouse, the manager, Mr. Yang, had arranged for girls to entertain Jinhai in a presidential suite. Hui arrived just ahead of the police, spotting the officers in position. He rushed into the suite, drove the girls out, and sat with Jinhai to create a cover story.
When Director Tong and the police burst in, they found the two men simply drinking and discussing business. With no evidence of illegal activity, the police were forced to withdraw. As Hongbing and Hui argued outside the guesthouse, a call from Ding Yue finally came through to Hui’s phone. They learned the grandfather had been rushed to the hospital. By the time they arrived, it was too late; despite the doctors' efforts, the grandfather had passed away.
The following day, the family gathered for the funeral. Jinhai brazenly appeared at the mourning hall to deliver a condolence gift. He cornered Hui, revealing that he had gambled away all his money and was millions in debt. Jinhai made it clear that he would never let Hui quit the business. Desperate to finish the funeral in peace, Hui asked for two days to settle his affairs.
In the midst of the family tragedy, Liu Na submitted her resignation to the bureau, citing her failing health. Hongbing shared a somber farewell with her, admitting his deep fears that his son was indeed involved in criminal activity. Later, as Hui stood before his grandfather’s altar with a kite, Hongbing issued a stern warning.
He declared that the grandfather had been a hero and a model of integrity, and as a police officer, he would never allow any stain to ruin the family’s honorable reputation.
