Spoiler Alert
The Aftermath of the Crash
Things look bleak for Xu Zhiyang. The crash put him in a coma. Doctors say he might never wake up. The police investigation points to a drunk driver. It looks like an accident on paper. Su Min knows better though. She suspects Wu Guohao covered his tracks perfectly.
Wu Feifei sits by Xu Zhiyang's hospital bed. She confronts her father directly. She asks if he did this. Wu Guohao denies it. He hides behind the police report about the drunk driver. Feifei doesn't buy it. She refuses to trust him until Xu Zhiyang wakes up to tell the truth.
Burning the Evidence
Chen Kang managed to get the suicide letter Xu Bin wrote. Xu Zhiyang had hidden it. Wu Guohao takes the letter and burns it right in front of him. Then he slaps Chen Kang across the face. He is angry that Chen Kang failed to bring Xu Zhiyang back safely. Chen Kang admits he didn't see the van coming. He recalls Xu Zhiyang’s final words before the impact. He said karma had arrived.
Long Yu takes Zhang Jing to Gao Feng’s place. Gao Feng is crushed. His lead ended with Xu Zhiyang’s coma. He feels like a failure. Zhang Jing tries to comfort him and makes him eat. Later, Gao Feng tries to approach Wu Feifei at the Penglai Group building. It goes poorly. She slaps him immediately. She blames him for Xu Zhiyang’s condition.
A New Angle
The police recover surveillance footage from the crash site. They also restore the audio. They hear Xu Zhiyang talking to Wu Guohao on the phone right before the hit. The evidence still points toward Xu Bin, but Wu Guohao remains a suspect. They can't close the case yet.
Su Min asks his superiors to bring Gao Feng in. He wants Gao Feng’s perspective. Gao Feng enters the meeting room. He tells them to shift focus. He believes Wu Feifei is the key to cracking this case.
Feifei Makes a Move
Gao Feng was right about Feifei. She tries to take matters into her own hands. She swaps Wu Guohao’s insulin needle. She also hides a voice recorder in the house. But she underestimates her father. Wu Guohao is too sharp. He notices the fake needle immediately. He doesn't get drugged. He also reveals he knew about the recorder the whole time. Feifei breaks down in tears. She realizes she is totally outmatched.
Suddenly, a new piece of evidence shakes everything up. The police, Gao Feng, and Zhang Jing all receive a video file. It shows surveillance footage. In the video, Gao Dahua is carrying a sack with another person. There is a body inside. Zhang Jing watches the screen in horror. The shock is too much. She faints on the spot.
The Truth About the Square
The story jumps back in time. This is a few days before the car crash at Penglai Square. Gao Dahua is a nervous wreck. He wakes up from nightmares. He gets a text and leaves the house in a panic. He meets Li Hongyue. Her face is disfigured, but he recognizes her.
Li Hongyue returned to Binchuan to go to the police. She wants the truth out. Gao Dahua is terrified. He is a coward. He always knew Wu Guohao was a monster. He never told Li Hongyue or Qu Meng. Li Hongyue gets angry. She threatens to find Gao Feng herself. This triggers Gao Dahua. He wants to kill her to silence her. He can't bring himself to do it. He runs away instead.
The Plan Takes Shape
Zhang Jing catches Gao Dahua acting strange. She thinks he met Qu Meng. They have a huge fight. Gao Dahua storms out. He tries a different tactic with Li Hongyue. He shows her Wu Feifei and Xu Zhiyang. He wants her to see their happiness so she drops her revenge plan. Li Hongyue refuses to back down. Qu Meng once thought Gao Dahua was an honest man. He turned out to be weak.
Gao Dahua actually helps Li Hongyue without meaning to. His fear makes her realize a simple police report won't work. It might backfire. She needs to make a massive scene. She finds Wang Dan. Wu Guohao had pushed Wang Dan to the edge. Li Hongyue tells her the whole story. Wang Dan agrees to the suicide mission. She drives into the statue at the square to expose Qu Meng’s corpse to the world.
