Description:
On a rainy night six years ago, researcher Guo Zi-Hui cradled his newborn baby in his arms and watched as his wife, Qu Yang, climbed into the car of his good friend Hong Shi-Jun and vanished into the curtain of rain — all to escape poverty and seek her fortune in America. Not long after, Qu Yang divorced Guo Zi-Hui and married Hong Shi-Jun, who was then studying in the United States.
In the early summer of 2002, Guo Zi-Hui's daughter, Lan Lan, urgently needed 200,000 yuan in cash to import life-saving plasma from America. Show more Three years earlier, Lan Lan had been stricken with childhood leukemia. At the time, Guo Zi-Hui was working at Hong Shi-Jun's Century Biotech, developing an HIV antibody diagnostic reagent formula for him. Unable to reach Hong Shi-Jun, Guo Zi-Hui, in desperation, mortgaged the unfinished formula to a drug dealer named Lei Gang for a loan of 200,000 yuan. On that same day, Guo Zi-Hui's colleague and friend Fei Han was diagnosed as HIV-positive. Guo Zi-Hui finally tracked down Hong Shi-Jun, only to discover that the regional sales director for the American reagents Hong Shi-Jun was distributing — Hong Shi-Jun's current wife, Qu Yang — had rushed back from America. Qu Yang claimed she had found counterfeit goods on the Chinese market and intended to revoke Hong Shi-Jun's distribution rights.
Overwhelmed with shame, Guo Zi-Hui tried again and again to tell Hong Shi-Jun the truth, but the words would not come. He secretly resolved to redeem the formula as quickly as possible while speeding up his research. Yet events took a sharp turn for the worse: after several days of investigation, Hong Shi-Jun stormed up to Guo Zi-Hui and accused him of selling the company's formula. When Guo Zi-Hui heard that the buyer Hong Shi-Jun named was not Lei Gang at all but someone entirely unrelated, he denied it vehemently. The two friends nearly broke off all ties...
Lei Gang suddenly disappeared, and Guo Zi-Hui had no way to redeem the formula. When Qu Yang learned that her daughter had contracted leukemia three years earlier, she was nearly driven mad and, throwing caution to the wind, was determined to take the girl to America for treatment.
Hong Shi-Jun calmed Guo Zi-Hui down and urged him to continue developing the reagent, while finding him a young, attractive female assistant named Long Meng-Meng — in truth, to monitor his every move.
After repeated efforts, Guo Zi-Hui could not find Lei Gang. He chose to confess everything to Hong Shi-Jun, writing out a full statement and willingly accepting legal punishment. Hong Shi-Jun said he would not pursue the matter, but under pressure from Qu Yang, Guo Zi-Hui had no choice but to agree to take his daughter to America for a hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
At customs, Guo Zi-Hui and his daughter were detained and then informed that Hong Shi-Jun had filed a lawsuit against him — and the evidence was the very statement Guo Zi-Hui had written himself. Hong Shi-Jun frankly told Guo Zi-Hui that his real intention lay elsewhere: detaining him was meant to force Qu Yang to abandon her attempt to revoke his distribution rights. Qu Yang, who had fallen in love with Guo Zi-Hui again, indeed had a change of heart. After divorcing Hong Shi-Jun, she once again granted him the distribution rights. Deeply humiliated, Guo Zi-Hui halted his plans to go abroad and vowed to find Lei Gang and redeem the formula. With Long Meng-Meng secretly guiding him at Hong Shi-Jun's behest, Guo Zi-Hui found Lei Gang and obtained evidence that the formula had been pledged as collateral for the loan, forcing Lei Gang to return it. Hong Shi-Jun used the opportunity to seize Lei Gang's pharmaceutical factory. Qu Yang thought she could finally take Guo Zi-Hui and Lan Lan away from China, but the winds shifted once more. Guo Zi-Hui's friend Fei Han, an AIDS patient, suddenly fell to his death from a building. Everyone mourned and held a sea burial. Hong Shi-Jun then announced that he had found a matching hematopoietic stem cell donor for Lan Lan and spent a fortune on the transplant — keeping Guo Zi-Hui by his side. To save her daughter's life, Qu Yang compromised and stayed in the country, only to receive evidence Fei Han had mailed before his death. It turned out that Hong Shi-Jun had a pharmaceutical factory in Thailand producing counterfeit American reagents for sale in Africa. Fei Han had been a key witness. When Hong Shi-Jun realized Fei Han was about to expose his secret, he drove him to his death...
The naive Long Meng-Meng was overjoyed that Guo Zi-Hui was not leaving China. She had fallen deeply in love with him, and Qu Yang's decision to stay — hoping to reconcile with Guo Zi-Hui — became an obstacle between them. The stem cell transplant was fraught with risk. To give Lan Lan some happy times, Guo Zi-Hui and Qu Yang pretended to reconcile, putting on a show for their daughter. Long Meng-Meng, guiding Lan Lan behind the scenes to accept Qu Yang as her mother, was herself consumed by uncontrollable jealousy and, exploited by Hong Shi-Jun, became a weapon to monitor Guo Zi-Hui.
The conflict between Qu Yang and Hong Shi-Jun erupted. She pointed out the suspicious circumstances of Fei Han's death, but Hong Shi-Jun threatened that exposing the counterfeiting would harm her and her child as well — because it was Qu Yang who had granted him the distribution rights. Qu Yang resolved to pull Guo Zi-Hui away from Hong Shi-Jun. Meanwhile, the drug dealer Lei Gang, having witnessed Hong Shi-Jun drive Fei Han to his death, stirred up trouble on all sides. For a time, the mystery deepened, and no one could tell the truth...
Lan Lan's hematopoietic stem cell transplant began.
Qu Yang could no longer tolerate Long Meng-Meng's presence. Believing all the more in Hong Shi-Jun's insinuation that Guo Zi-Hui was his accomplice in the counterfeiting, she broke with Guo Zi-Hui and threatened to go to court to take custody of Lan Lan. After this crushing blow, Long Meng-Meng realized she had been a pawn used by Hong Shi-Jun. Though she loved Guo Zi-Hui deeply, she withdrew... Guo Zi-Hui, however, began to awaken. He sensed something questionable about Hong Shi-Jun's true purpose in having him develop the formula and gradually pieced things together: Hong Shi-Jun had no intention of applying for a national patent at all — he wanted to use it to improve the quality of the counterfeit reagents and secure a foothold in the African market.
To placate Guo Zi-Hui, Hong Shi-Jun once again spent a fortune to save Lan Lan's life and came to his rescue when Guo Zi-Hui was kidnapped by Lei Gang. But when Guo Zi-Hui wanted to keep investigating, Hong Shi-Jun understood: if Guo Zi-Hui kept digging, his own end would come.
Hong Shi-Jun did not want to kill Guo Zi-Hui, but he had to destroy him spiritually. He swapped Guo Zi-Hui's blood test sample, injecting it with HIV antibodies so that Guo Zi-Hui would be "confirmed" as an AIDS carrier. To make the deception more convincing, Hong Shi-Jun even made Long Meng-Meng believe that she had caused the infection by giving Guo Zi-Hui a well-intentioned blood transfusion at a small clinic...
Long Meng-Meng, who loved Guo Zi-Hui deeply, was overcome with guilt and wanted to die with him to find release. After a painful struggle, Guo Zi-Hui chose to live and continue researching the reagent, returning to the laboratory. Long Meng-Meng bravely took on the responsibility of caring for him, learning injection techniques to give him his shots. As an expert, Guo Zi-Hui soon discovered that his AIDS was fake and that Fei Han's death was suspicious. To uncover the truth, he gave up custody of Lan Lan to Qu Yang and deliberately distanced himself from Long Meng-Meng, so that he could duel with Hong Shi-Jun alone.
Like a bolt from the blue — Lan Lan tragically died of her illness. Qu Yang was sabotaged by the drug dealer Lei Gang and fired from her company. Deprived of emotional comfort, she suffered a mental breakdown and was committed to a psychiatric hospital. To keep her from telling the truth, Hong Shi-Jun, now utterly deranged, drove Qu Yang insane again just as her condition had begun to improve. Guo Zi-Hui cared for Qu Yang while intensifying his investigation of Hong Shi-Jun.
Fearing that Guo Zi-Hui would uncover the truth about his fake AIDS, Hong Shi-Jun resorted to an even more vicious scheme: to inject Guo Zi-Hui with the AIDS virus and make him a real AIDS patient. Long Meng-Meng, her heart broken by Guo Zi-Hui, sensed the danger he was in and resolutely swapped the injection, taking the drug Hong Shi-Jun had provided into her own body. It was captured on video — she wanted to seize evidence of Hong Shi-Jun framing Guo Zi-Hui.
Under pressure from within and without, Hong Shi-Jun resolved to "whitewash" himself. He shut down the counterfeit reagent factory in Thailand and prepared to take Guo Zi-Hui's completed formula to Africa for legal production. His thinking was so meticulous that the transfer was almost flawless. Guo Zi-Hui held only one trump card — the formula. He pretended to have been broken by AIDS, lulling Hong Shi-Jun into relaxing his guard... But Hong Shi-Jun had a contingency plan. To prevent Guo Zi-Hui from making a comeback, he had already tricked Guo Zi-Hui's sister, Guo Zi-Fang, into being sold to a remote mountain area, and only he knew the address — his final trump card in the showdown with Guo Zi-Hui.
Hong Shi-Jun's fiancee, television host Qiu Xiao-Ling, discovered the secret of how Hong Shi-Jun had killed Fei Han. Fleeing from Hong Shi-Jun, she crashed her car and was injured, falling into a vegetative state...
Guo Zi-Hui succeeded in developing the formula, but Hong Shi-Jun discovered that all the data Guo Zi-Hui had provided was fake. Guo Zi-Hui and Hong Shi-Jun began the ultimate contest of their lives in the sky garden where Fei Han had fallen to his death...
Hong Shi-Jun planned a grand escape. He held a wedding with the comatose Qiu Xiao-Ling in a basketball arena, then headed for customs with Guo Zi-Hui's formula. Guo Zi-Hui turned Hong Shi-Jun's own methods against him, making him a defendant and having him intercepted at customs.
In the courtroom, Guo Zi-Hui and Hong Shi-Jun engaged in a fierce confrontation. When all the witnesses appeared in court, Hong Shi-Jun knew his time was up. The people around him seemed to fade away, and he and Guo Zi-Hui conducted a "trial in heaven." Guo Zi-Hui's moral integrity stood as the polar opposite of Hong Shi-Jun's towering evil. In the end, Hong Shi-Jun said his crimes deserved the death penalty under the law, but that Guo Zi-Hui would die with him — because he had already injected Guo Zi-Hui with the AIDS virus. Guo Zi-Hui told Hong Shi-Jun that he had long since worked with the police to clear the viral serum from the laboratory; the so-called injection of the virus was merely Hong Shi-Jun's wishful thinking.
Hong Shi-Jun collapsed completely...
Qiu Xiao-Ling finally awoke. She changed the title of the novel she was writing to "The Formula of Fate"
