Spoiler Alert
The Dragon in the Living Room
Liu Tianye tries to play the role of the doting father. He reads a bedtime story to his son. It backfires immediately. The kid misses his Third Uncle, Qin Feng. He even tells his dad he looks like the evil dragon from the book. That has to sting.
Things are grim at the hospital the next day. Zhao Ziyi is admitted. The diagnosis is severe mental shock. Her behavior is erratic. Wen Jiangyan watches over her sister-in-law. She makes a decision. Once Ziyi recovers, she is taking her back to Longwan. It is time to leave this mess.
Wen Qin’s mother rushes in. She runs right into Liu Tianye. The silence is heavy. Neither says a word. Liu Tianye knows he isn't welcome. He turns his head and walks away.
Turning in the Badge
Qin Feng makes a massive move. He goes to see Peng Hanzhang. He apologizes. He thinks back to his rookie days. He finally understands Peng's tough love. But he isn't there to reminisce. He quits.
He puts his police ID on the desk. He walks out. Peng Hanzhang stares at the resignation letter. He doesn't buy it. He suspects Qin Feng has a hidden agenda. Ye Tianyou and Chief Chu get the news later. They are shocked. They stare at each other in disbelief.
Sentimental Goodbyes
Qin Feng goes to the hospital next. He visits Wen Xuan. The man is still in a coma. Qin Feng puts a safety charm on him. He hopes it keeps him safe.
Nearby, "Little Qin" is looking after Ziyi. She sees his dedication. She gives him some advice. He needs to leave Liu Tianye. He should get out of this chaotic life while he can.
Wen Qin hears about the resignation. She panics. She thinks Qin Feng might do something reckless. She drags him up the mountain behind the village. They look out at the view. They talk about the past. It is a moment of calm before the storm.
Sleeping with the Enemy
Liu Tianye is paranoid. He hears Qin Feng quit the force. He thinks it is a trick to take him down. Then Qin Feng walks right through his front door.
Liu Tianye asks why he quit. Qin Feng plays his part perfectly. He makes a snarky comment about family getting him killed on a mission. It sounds like a warning. He claims he is unemployed now. He wants to join Liu Tianye’s company. He offers to help fight their enemies.
Xu Jiajun Hits Rock Bottom
Xu Jiajun is losing his mind. Liu Tianye doesn't trust him. He is frozen out. Zhang Xin sees an opportunity. She gives Xu a USB drive. She wants him to steal financial data from Wen Jiangyan’s computer. She promises him a ticket back to the Xinrui Group.
Xu waits for Wen Jiangyan to leave. He sneaks onto her computer. He is clumsy. Wen Jiangyan comes home and catches him. She knows everything now. A detective filled her in on his dirty past. They scream at each other.
Xu refuses to take responsibility. He blames everyone else. He says they treat him like dirt. Wen Jiangyan tries to call the police. Xu snaps. He beats her.
Wen Qin’s mom saves the day. She grabs a tool and chases Xu out of the house. Wen Jiangyan tells her mom everything. Xu is beyond saving. Her mom tells her to get a divorce. It is time to come home.
KTV Beatdown
Qin Feng shows up at Mai Hongchao’s place. Mai Hongchao is furious to see him. Qin Feng stays calm. He offers to work as an assistant. He says he will follow orders.
Then the news breaks. Qin Feng finds out Xu beat up his sister. He sees red. He tracks Xu down at a KTV. He doesn't hold back. He beats Xu to a pulp.
Liu Tianye arrives with his crew. He wanted to punish Xu too. He sees Qin Feng dragging a tied-up Xu out of the room. Liu Tianye has to clean up the mess. He sends Xu to the police station. The violence stops for now.
Punching for Answers
