Episode 23 recap: Ye Wenjie's identity was exposed.

Before Mu Xing's death, he discovered a connection between Ye Wenjie and Tsinghua University, which happened to be her alma mater. Ye Wenjie's niece, Chen Xue, also studied at Tsinghua University, and at that time someone approached Ye Wenjie and offered a large sum of money to secure a spot for her. Afterward, Ye Wenjie severed ties with both Chen Xue and her daughter. Later on, Ye Wenjie learned about this incident and sought out her niece, Chen Xue. Chen Xue subsequently went to MIT, and she recently graduated and returned to China this year.

All the clues of the mysteries led to Ye Wenjie, which further deepened Shi Qiang and Wang Miao's suspicions of her. Wang Miao couldn't understand why Ye Wenjie would do such things, especially since Yang Dong was her own daughter. When Shi Qiang heard Wang Miao's softening attitude, he angrily berated him, as he didn't want his friend to be emotionally swayed when dealing with enemies, as it could affect judgment.

Soon, Ye Wenjie learned about Chen Xue's involvement in Mu Xing's murder. She felt somewhat disappointed in Chen Xue because she had been heavily influenced by Pan Han. Chen Xue's sole focus was ensuring Ye Wenjie's safety, and she had no other concerns.

The gathering of the Earth-Trisolaris Organization is about to begin, and everyone is awaiting the arrival of Commander Ye Wenjie. Then, Ye Wenjie issued the final document. After multiple terrible incidents, Shi Qiang hoped that the personnel in the global combat zone would arrest all the terrifying criminals affiliated with the Earth-Trisolaris Organization. Chang Wei Si fully supported this approach and wanted to restore peace as soon as possible.

While at Ye Wenjie's home, Chen Xue accidentally came across recovered files on her computer. When Ye Wenjie found out, she explained that it was her own accidental discovery. However, she realized that her daughter, Yang Dong, had inadvertently found the files about the Earth-Trisolaris Organization on her computer. Wang Miao quickly attended the meeting convened by the Earth-Trisolaris Organization. He wanted to gather more information about the members of the Trisolaris Organization group. Shi Qiang had repeatedly cautioned him to be careful on his way there, and Wang Miao was burdened with heavy thoughts. After their conversation, he got into a car and headed to the address provided in the email sent by the party involved.

When he arrived at the venue for the activities of the Trisolaran Organization, people inside were enthusiastically debating something. Pan Han was also present, and he willingly admitted to killing Shen Yufei. The Pro-Trisolarans were displeased after hearing his words, but Pan Han failed to recognize his mistake. He boldly told everyone that their commander belonged to the ETO (Earth-Trisolaris Organization).

The people around didn't believe him and chaos ensued. Eventually, the commander arrived at the scene, and she was none other than Ye Wenjie. Wang Miao, in the audience, watched in astonishment as Ye Wenjie slowly walked to the center of the stage. He couldn't believe what he was experiencing. Pan Han had seriously violated the discipline of the Trisolaran Organization, and he hoped that Commander Ye Wenjie would clearly state that she belonged to the Pro-Trisolaran faction. However, Ye Wenjie firmly refused because the true intentions of the Pro-Trisolarans were not in line with hers. Their hope was to exterminate humanity, and Pan Han and his companions had deceived everyone from the beginning with a lie. The Pro-Trisolaran faction quickly intercepted the main will. Shen Yufei, who was previously an insider in the Pro-Trisolaran faction, still firmly believed that she was part of the Salvationists deep down.

On the stage, Ye Wenjie wanted to resolve the issue in front of her as soon as possible. Pan Han soon met an unfortunate end when Chen Xue approached him and snapped his neck, then carried the body away from the scene. Wang Miao witnessed everything and was now filled with fear. Ye Wenjie quickly noticed and began praising Wang Miao in front of everyone.

Wang Miao couldn't care about much else at that moment. He questioned Ye Wenjie why she had chosen to eliminate this aspect first, but Ye Wenjie didn't answer his question. Instead, she directly reminisced with those around her about their experiences at Red Coast Base. In that year, she and Yang Wenjing had worked together, but she never understood why Yang Wei Ning had appeared by her side once again.
