Duo Zai's Secret Mission
Becoming the Inside Man
So, the episode kicks off with Duo Zai. He needs to talk to Zhi An without anyone knowing. He makes up an excuse to ditch Li Haipeng. Then he heads to a convenience store. He pretends he's just buying snacks for his sister, Mai Jiamin. But it's all a setup.
He successfully meets Zhi An inside. Zhi An wants him to pull out of the operation. He thinks it's too dangerous. But Duo Zai is not backing down. He tells Zhi An that Mou Sen is trying to join the "Platinum Road" organization. Duo Zai's whole purpose now is to stick to Mou Sen and destroy him. He's completely committed.
While this is happening, Director Fang calls. Duo Zai confirms his plan over the phone. He makes it crystal clear. He will see this through until Mou Sen is brought to justice. After hearing this, Director Fang makes it official. Duo Zai is now a police informant. They give him a tiny tracker hidden inside a box of throat lozenges. Now the police can listen in and follow Mou Sen's every move.
Mou Sen's Betrayal
A Tragic Choice
Mai Jiamin has a long, hard talk with Mou Sen. She's pregnant. She hopes the baby will change him. She pictures them having a quiet, stable life together. You can really feel her wanting to believe in him.
Mou Sen puts on a good act. He agrees to her plan. He watches as she starts packing her bags, full of hope. But while she's distracted, he secretly drugs her water. It's a cold and calculated move. He never had any intention of keeping the child.
Li Haipeng shows up at a store with some medicine. He almost runs right into Zhi An, which would have blown everything. Luckily, he misses him. Duo Zai gets back to their apartment, carrying some liquor for Li Haipeng. He goes into his sister's room. He finds Mai Jiamin passed out on the floor. He instantly knows what happened. Mou Sen drugged her.
The Hospital Standoff
A Brother's Sacrifice
Li Haipeng gets Mai Jiamin to the hospital immediately. She's bleeding badly and is completely unconscious. Mou Sen doesn't even try to hide it. He tells Duo Zai straight up that he terminated the pregnancy. What they don't know is that Yang Yipeng and his team are already there. They are disguised as doctors and have officers stationed outside the operating room.
When Mai Jiamin finally wakes up, she knows she's been exposed. She sees the cops. But her brother, Li Haipeng, plays it smart. He pretends he doesn't recognize any of the officers. He's trying to protect her.
Then he does something drastic. He grabs a nurse and holds her hostage. He starts yelling, telling the police that his sister is innocent. He says she never did anything illegal. He begs them to let her go. He uses the hostage situation to draw the police away, leading them up to the rooftop.
On the roof, he thanks the nurse. He tells her she saved his sister. Then he lets her go. He turns to Yang Yipeng and explains his life. He says he grew up with no parents. Mai Jiamin is the only family he has ever had. He watches from the roof as his sister gets into a taxi down below. Believing she is safe, he pulls out a gun and shoots himself.
The whole thing is just devastating. Mai Jiamin sees her brother die. Her escape doesn't last long. The police catch her just a short drive away.
On the Run
The Walls Close In
With the hospital in chaos, Mou Sen and Duo Zai make their escape. They get to a boat. Thanks to the tracker, the police know exactly where they're going. They're heading toward the Dian-Chuan region. The police scramble their teams to intercept them.
In Dian-Chuan, Mou Sen connects with a guy named Andy. They meet at a rundown-looking shop. Andy is already suspicious of Mou Sen. He sent his own people to toss Mou Sen's place and dig up dirt on him. Mou Sen quickly realizes he's being followed. He figures it's just a test from Andy.
Andy's men take them to a house deep in a forest. They try to separate Duo Zai from Mou Sen. Mou Sen argues hard to keep Duo Zai by his side. He eventually convinces them. Then they are both blindfolded and moved to yet another secret location.
At the same time, Yang Yipeng's team arrives. They meet up with the local Dian-Chuan police, led by Captain Pan. They also link up with an Interpol team led by a guy named Boji. It's a full-scale joint operation. They pick up a faint signal from Duo Zai's tracker near a mountain. They know they're close.
The episode ends with Andy. He's watching his hidden surveillance cameras. He sees Yang Yipeng and the entire police force moving into position. A huge confrontation is about to go down.
