Episode 27 recap: Lin Yi has obtained important documents related to Di Mei.

After Tao Le Qi found Master to repair the USB flash drive, he learned that it couldn't be recovered at all. He completely broke down, considering that it contained too many important files. Bai Xin Ning handed the switched USB flash drive to Lin Zhe, who then started decrypting it. Bai Xin Ning stayed by his side the whole time. After Lin Zhe's relentless efforts, they finally opened the contents of the USB flash drive, which were financial statements related to the Di Mei mineral resources. Bai Xin Ning was very happy and even asked Lin Zhe to investigate if there was any news related to Tang Wanrong.

Meng Xiao Xiao learned that Bai Xin Ning had been getting close to Tao Le Qi recently, which was not a good thing. She even felt that Bai Xin Ning had too ambitious of a plan. Li Zhuo Ran assured Meng Xiao Xiao not to worry about it, as he knew how to handle the situation.

Li Zhuo Ran's wife and child came back from abroad, and he told Meng Xiao Xiao that she didn't need to accompany them on a shopping trip. Tao Le Qi's superiors were furious upon learning that the USB flash drive had been soaked in water. The leader asked if there was a backup, and upon hearing that there was none, Manager Ma became even angrier. He even told Tao Le Qi that if the files couldn't be recovered, the entire company would be doomed.

Lin Yi also learned that Manager Ma was looking for someone who could repair the USB flash drive. When he returned home, Lin Yi happened to hear from his brother about Bai Xin Ning obtaining the USB flash drive from Tao Le Qi. It suddenly became clear to Lin Yi that this might be the important file that Manager Ma needed. Lin Yi instructed his brother to make a backup and then disguised the USB flash drive as an empty computer.

Just as Manager Ma was about to sign a contract with Lucy Li, Lin Yi entered the room and mentioned that he had some knowledge about computer-related issues, so he could try to help repair the files. Manager Ma, with a mindset of giving it a try, handed the USB flash drive to Lin Yi. This computer had already been prepared in advance, so the contents of the USB flash drive were quickly displayed. Now Manager Ma could finally rest assured. He also kept his guard up and asked Lin Yi to give him the notebook, to which Lin Yi readily agreed.

After Manager Ma left, he informed Lucy Li that they wouldn't be signing the contract. Lucy Li was confused, not expecting Lin Yi to set such a big trap for her. She said that there was still a long way to go and that she wouldn't lose to Lin Yi again. Manager Ma naturally signed the contract with Lin Yi. Although he gained the power to inspect the goods, the investment company still didn't plan to invest in Dongchen this time.

Li Zhuo Ran called Bai Xin Ning to the racecourse and mentioned that he planned to send the best horse to Hong Kong for training. In fact, when Li Zhuo Ran talked about horse-related matters, it was also an indirect reminder to himself. Bai Xin Ning could sense the underlying meaning in his words.

Bai Xin Ning intentionally brought up the events of Dongchen from over a decade ago, hoping to gauge Li Zhuo Ran's attitude. Li Zhuo Ran didn't say much and only suggested that Meng Xiao Xiao and the Chief Financial Officer go help Bai Xin Ning.

Bai Xin Ning told Lin Zhe about this, and Lin Zhe thought it was obviously an attempt to use Bai Xin Ning for money laundering. He advised her to be cautious. Bai Xin Ning's original intention was to get close to Tao Le Qi, and now she had no way out. Lin Zhe assured her that he would be by her side no matter what happened. Bai Xin Ning was grateful to have Lin Zhe there to help, and she would always remember their friendship.

Later, Li Zhuo Ran called the Chief Financial Officer over to talk about the new office. In reality, he wanted him to monitor Bai Xin Ning and facilitate money laundering. The office was quickly set up, but the decoration was extremely poor, leaving Bai Xin Ning speechless. To her surprise, the person the Chief Financial Officer brought to help was Lin Zhe. Both of them were puzzled but pretended not to be familiar with each other. The Chief Financial Officer didn't suspect anything.

Meng Xiao Xiao also came over, and Bai Xin Ning took her to visit her office. Meng Xiao Xiao noticed the terrible decoration and realized that the construction department had taken kickbacks. Bai Xin Ning didn't mind and even thought it was fine. After Meng Xiao Xiao returned, she told Lin Yi about Bai Xin Ning's situation, and Lin Yi planned to take a cursory look.

Li Ming Kang investigated and found out that the Chief Financial Officer's relative was responsible for the office decoration. Bai Xin Ning naturally understood some things, but she wasn't one to be taken advantage of, so she could only turn to Lin Zhe for help. While Lin Zhe was talking to Bai Xin Ning, he noticed someone eavesdropping at the door. To his surprise, it was Ye Xiao Qing, who quickly made an excuse and handed Lin Zhe a cup of milk tea.

In the evening, after Lin Zhe and Bai Xin Ning finished work, Lin Zhe mentioned that Bai Xin Ning should be on guard against Ye Xiao Qing in the future.
