Episode 6 recap: # Gu Yi Zhong's Narrow Escape
In Episode 6, Xiao Ruo Tong is heartbroken over Gu Yi Zhong's passing, remaining silent for several days. Zhou Zhen Wu tries to comfort her but ends up being blamed; she believes he is responsible for Gu Yi Zhong's death. After some reflection, Zhou Zhen Wu asserts that while Gu Yi Zhong is dead, his innocence has been proven. He speculates about the identity of "Cell 8," and Xiao Ruo Tong calmly reminds him that they are also under suspicion and must act cautiously.
Meanwhile, Zhou Zhi Fei and Jin Jiang are lurking outside Gu Yuan, closely monitoring the situation inside. Following Gu Yi Zhong's tragic demise, his body was returned home on the first day, and a coffin was quietly brought in the next day. Gu Xi Xing has been reclusive, remaining behind closed doors in a somber state.
Jin Jiang expresses admiration for Gu Xi Xing, noting that despite his frail state, his gaze remains sharp and commanding respect. Zhou Zhi Fei reflects on Gu Yi Zhong's death as a personal choice, not something he desired. He worries that Gu Yi Zhong's passing could make the activities of "Cell 8" even more suspicious.
At the same time, Gu Hui Zhong arrives home with a baby, accompanied by Hu Zhi Ping. Hu Zhi Ping carries silver fish to provide nourishment for his wife, and Gu Hui Zhong feels grateful, realizing she chose the right partner. She inquires about Gu Yi Zhong, and Hu Zhi Ping solemnly informs her of Gu Yi Zhong's murder at the hands of spies.
Upon hearing this, Gu Hui Zhong is overcome with sorrow, lamenting that she didn't persuade Gu Yi Zhong to leave with them, which might have prevented this tragedy. Once the mourning period at Gu Xi Xing's home concludes, the surveillance from Agent 70 is lifted.
Meanwhile, Hai Mo quietly appears at the hospital with a food box and opens the door to find Gu Yi Zhong alive and recovering. It turns out that after Xiao Ruo Tong was injured, Hai Mo bravely saved her from the brink of death and secretly took her for medical care, leading to Gu Yi Zhong's miraculous survival. Hai Mo meticulously cares for Gu Yi Zhong while also looking after Gu Xi Xing’s health, ensuring he takes his medication on time and doesn’t tamper with it.
Her dedication profoundly moves Gu Xi Xing, who begins to treat Hai Mo like a daughter, urging her to keep Gu Yi Zhong’s survival a secret. Meanwhile, at Zhou Zhi Fei's home, he receives a heavy box of gold bars, a generous gift from Wang Ze Min in hopes of securing the position of county magistrate in Wu County.
Zhou Zhi Fei understands that this gift reflects Li Xian Sheng's influence. As Li Xian Sheng's confidant, he remains loyal, usually passing on received gifts unchanged to demonstrate his fidelity. After bidding farewell to his son, Zhou Zhi Fei receives a threatening letter from Quan Shui, prompting him to arrange a meeting and set up a trap. However, Quan Shui, rekindling old ties, quickly sees through Zhou Zhi Fei's plan and reveals his sniper setup.
In a tense standoff, Zhou Zhi Fei refrains from taking action. Quan Shui hands over a letter from Xu Zeng En, urging a response, and unexpectedly discloses the secret of Gu Yi Zhong's survival. Zhou Zhi Fei grapples with complex emotions, torn between his feelings for Quan Shui and the gravity of the situation, as he contemplates how to navigate this sudden twist of fate.
