Episode 16 recap: Zhao An was demoted.

When Chen Jia Ping heard the person in front of him figure out everything, he felt a sudden jolt in his heart. It turned out that before this, he deliberately approached Miss Han Lu and showed her the bandaging technique he had prepared to deceive Director Jiang. It was all a show for the enemy to see. After seeing it, the other party immediately agreed to his request. Upon hearing this, Zuo Shuang Tao instantly felt that Feng Qi deserved the miserable fate he was facing today. After hearing this, Chen Jia Ping shifted his focus to the person in front of him and became curious about what happened next. All the information about the sachet was something Zuo Shuang Tao came up with after knowing that the other party was investigating her. Now both of them agreed that Feng Qi deserved the misfortunes he encountered.

When Chen Jia Ping was about to enter the house, Zuo Shuang Tao showed no intention of going in and began to look at her husband in a new light. She now saw bravery in him and became curious about his beliefs. However, upon hearing this, he continued to make jokes about trivial matters.

After returning to work, Chen Jia Ping went directly to Luo Guan Qun and received the good news of a raise. He also learned about Zhao An being sidelined and having his tasks handed over to someone else. Upon hearing this good news, he quickly approached Luo Guan Qun and flattered him. Taking this opportunity, Luo Guan Qun continued to inquire about the truth behind Zuo Shuang Tao's purchase of the sachet. Chen Jia Ping, after listening, continued to play dumb and confidently expressed his full trust in his wife.

Meanwhile, Zhao An, who had been demoted, was leisurely resting in front of the house. Although he was currently in a difficult situation, he still firmly believed that he would eventually make a comeback. Speaking of which, he didn't forget to urge his colleagues to start working. Just as Chen Jia Ping was going out to meet his colleagues, the other person lowered their voice and talked to him about counterfeiting money and how a friend of theirs was captured by the special agents of the Japanese Army's Provincial Military Class and was being held in a dark and gloomy place. After hearing about the plan involving Sugi, Chen Jia Ping suddenly remembered seeing documents related to the Sugi plan in the office files.

While Zhao An was working during the day, unexpectedly, a stranger held a gun to his head in the room. Startled, he quickly raised his hands and cooperated with everything the other person said. Just as Zhao An breathed a sigh of relief, he saw another stranger with a gun chasing after him. The two of them continued to face each other and exchange fire. After the commotion settled, Zhao An and the people around him helped the person in the blue shirt, who was injured in the leg, and prepared to take him to a private clinic for treatment.

When Han Lu was with the director who assisted her in her acting career, she didn't expect him to directly help her continue selecting good scripts. He even took the initiative to reveal the deception by Director Jiang. Han Lu felt a chill in her heart when she saw those photos. After returning home, Zuo Shuang Tao received information from her superior about Xi Que's undercover presence and prepared to find ways to get close to the dancer who was close to Xi Que.

Han Lu, who had returned home, suddenly called Chen Jia Ping in a gloomy mood. He immediately rushed to the house to check the situation, only to find Han Lu attempting suicide by cutting her wrists in the bathroom. Zhao An arranged everything and continued to instruct the others, but he aroused suspicion from the injured Lao Tian and was drugged.

While Zuo Shuang Tao was alone, Gao Fang suddenly came to bid her farewell and relieved her of all burdens. On the other side, Zhao An knocked down the doctor and continued to support the injured person, preparing to find a hotel for them to stay. Afterwards, Zhao An continued with the next plan and personally followed to investigate the situation.
