Episode 13 recap: Dou Lili deliberately retaliated against Lin Bao'er.
Zhu Guanwen said he had always known Dou Zhenzhang was engaged in dirty business, just didn't expect they would dare deal with opium, such an unscrupulous thing. Zhu Guanwen said his mother most despised opium, although not much circulated in town, but it was likely just a transfer point.
Zhu Guanwen warned Lin Bao'er not to act rashly, as this matter may involve her father, so it couldn't be handled lightly. Instead, Zhu Guanwen directly informed the reporters and leaked the situation to them. Soon the reporters went to the docks demanding an inspection. Lin Bao'er deliberately didn't let them inspect. The new inspector and Zhu Guanwen soon arrived as well. Dou Zhenzhang came over calmly and even told them to open anything they wanted.
But when Zhu Guanwen's men opened it, it was cans of food - someone had swapped out the opium earlier. Dou Lili deliberately mocked Lin Bao'er, while Dou Zhenzhang said this batch was being transferred to Shanghai. Dou Lili then turned to bite back, even pulling on Lin Bao'er's clothes. Zhu Guanwen immediately shielded Lin Bao'er behind himself. Dou Zhenzhang acted the good guy but secretly said Lin Bao'er bewitched Zhu Guanwen.
Later the reporters left first, and Zhu Guanwen pulled Lin Bao'er away. Back home, Zhu Guanwen apologized for not being prepared well. Lin Bao'er didn't blame him, saying Dou Zhenzhang was too crafty - they shouldn't have acted rashly.
Zhu Guanwen had never thought his actions were unnecessary, and told Lin Bao'er she was his everything. He also said Lin Bao'er was no longer fighting alone, but had him too. Lin Bao'er suspected someone must have tipped off Dou Zhenzhang in advance. She saw Dou Lili conversing with a reporter.
