Episode 22 recap: Zhang Chu Lan was hired by Wang Ye.
Zhang Chu Lan and Feng Bao Bao encountered three strangers wearing clown masks blocking their path. They immediately started warming up, pretending they were ready to fight when they asked if Wang Ye wanted to fight. However, they soon realized that Wang Ye had already fled. Zhang Chu Lan then loudly shouted, creating the illusion that they were about to engage in a fight, but instead, he quickly grabbed Feng Bao Bao's hand, and they ran away together.
When Wang Ye saw Zhang Chu Lan and Feng Bao Bao catching up, he instructed them to split up in a nearby alley and meet at the park later. However, the route he described was too complicated, and neither Feng Bao Bao nor Zhang Chu Lan understood it. Frustrated, Wang Ye simply urged them to run quickly while he led the pursuers in another direction.
The Zhu Ge Trio relentlessly pursued Wang Ye, who didn't want to fight them. Unable to shake them off, he led them to an open space and finally stopped. When the Zhu Ge Trio caught up, Wang Ye quickly demonstrated that they were no match for him. However, the Zhu Ge Trio refused to accept defeat and claimed that the real battle was just beginning. They then showcased their unique martial arts skills from the Zhu Ge family. Surprised, Wang Ye realized that the trio were members of the Zhu Ge family and decided to trap them.
Zhu Ge Qing called Wang Ye and, upon hearing Wang Ye's reproach, understood that their three foolish members had sought out Wang Ye on their own. Zhu Ge Qing advised Wang Ye to teach them a lesson, and Wang Ye, no longer polite, gave them a memorable punishment.
Zhu Ge Qing visited Wang Ye to explain that after the Zhu Ge Trio's defeat by Wang Ye, they held him in contempt. They didn't know where Zhu Ge Qing had lost, so they decided to challenge Wang Ye directly. The trio acknowledged Wang Ye's strength, considering that he had already achieved such prowess as one of the top eight at the Longhu Mountain Tournament. They became even more interested in facing Zhang Chu Lan, who had claimed the first place.
Seeing the expressions of the Zhu Ge Trio, Zhu Ge Qing knew they wanted to spar with Zhang Chu Lan. A triumphant smile appeared on Zhu Ge Qing's face. This time, when Zhu Ge Qing met Wang Ye, he felt that Wang Ye was extremely tense and lacked the relaxed demeanor he had at Longhu Mountain. Zhu Ge Qing asked about the reason and learned that Wang Ye was being watched because of his Fenghou Qimen technique, even his family was being targeted. Zhu Ge Qing then offered a suggestion for Wang Ye to find Zhang Chu Lan and expose the person tailing him.
Wang Ye thought it was a good idea since Zhang Chu Lan was already tailing him anyway. Zhang Chu Lan was willing to help but not for free. Wang Ye immediately understood and asked Zhang Chu Lan to state his price. Feng Bao Bao boldly called out a sky-high price of one billion, and surprisingly, Wang Ye agreed without hesitation. Zhang Chu Lan couldn't help but get excited. That night, he and Feng Bao Bao disguised themselves as vendors selling roasted sweet potatoes and closely watched Wang Ye's mother, who was dancing in the square. Zhang Chu Lan noticed that among her dance partners, three of them were strangers. They then followed the three individuals to their residence, where they discovered more strangers. Zhang Chu Lan immediately reported the situation to Wang Ye.
In order to obtain one billion from Wang Wei Guo, Wang Ye pretended that he wanted to return to the Taoist temple. Upon hearing this, Wang Wei Guo immediately relented and said he would give him the money, but Wang Ye could never return to the temple again.
Wang Ye didn't expect such a strong reaction from Wang Wei Guo. After receiving the money, he transferred two million to Zhang Chu Lan. The vendors selling roasted sweet potatoes couldn't help but exclaim at the sound of the money being credited, saying that even a sweet potato seller was so rich.
After Zhang Chu Lan and Feng Bao Bao identified their target, they deduced the best time to apprehend them based on their daily routines. With some time to spare before the operation, Feng Bao Bao asked Zhu Ge Qing, Wang Ye, and Zhang Chu Lan to play mahjong with her. Feng Bao Bao was enthusiastic, but Wang Ye, Zhu Ge Qing, and Zhang Chu Lan were already too tired.
When the time came, Feng Bao Bao immediately ordered them to set off. Only then did the three of them snap out of their drowsiness and follow Feng Bao Bao. Zhang Chu Lan took out a lock-picking tool from his body, but after fiddling with it, the lock remained silent. Feng Bao Bao simply twisted it open, proving that the door was not locked, which made Zhang Chu Lan feel somewhat embarrassed.
There were two people in the room, and Feng Bao Bao assigned Wang Ye, Zhang Chu Lan, and Zhu Ge Qing to take down the sleeping stranger while she went to catch the other one in the inner room. Zhu Ge Qing accidentally stepped on a soda can, making a noise that woke up the sleeping stranger. The person realized something was wrong and immediately tried to escape. Zhang Chu Lan, Wang Ye, and Zhu Ge Qing prepared to engage, but Feng Bao Bao swiftly subdued the person with a move. Now that they had captured the person, the challenge was how to transport them out. Seeing that the three of them had no solution, Feng Bao Bao told them to go and get a car while she gagged and tied up the captured strangers, packaging them like parcels. She then casually pushed the cart out of the front gate and even bought some pancake rolls by the door.
Zhang Chu Lan, Wang Ye, and Zhu Ge Qing climbed up the stairs to catch the three strangers who were responsible for surveillance. They rushed through the oxygen-deprived zone and engaged in a fight with them. Wang Ye was deceived by the enemy's show of weakness and was pushed down the stairs.
