Episode 15 recap: Lin Bao'er is forced to reveal her true identity.
Dou Lili has actually made many sacrifices in order to frame Lin Bao'er, even offering her own body in return. She swears to take back what rightfully belongs to her. A magazine reporter comes to find Mayor Dou, intending to record his great achievements in the county records. Upon learning the purpose of the visit, Mayor Dou starts boasting and even claims that Zhu Laoye (Zhu Guanwen's father) is someone he promoted, presenting himself in a very self-important manner.
Zhu Laoye calls his son to his side, but Zhu Guanwen doesn't regard his father highly and doesn't address him as such. Zhu Laoye deliberately led the reporter to Mayor Dou as a ploy, so he believes that his son is trying to undermine him. Zhu Guanwen is still very angry, as he finds it suspicious that his mother died under mysterious circumstances after moving into this household. Moreover, she detested opium, yet she ended up being involved in opium business with Mayor Dou.
At this moment, Guan Lailai informs Zhu Laoye that Mayor Dou and Dou Lili have arrived. Zhu Laoye locks his son in the room. Dou Lili claims that she has already investigated and found out that Lin Bao'er is not the daughter of the Lin family, as they only have one son. Dou Lili urges Zhu Laoye to call Lin Bao'er down for questioning. When Lin Bao'er is brought down, Zhu Laoye interrogates her about her identity, while Dou Lili instigates and tries to uncover Lin Bao'er's true identity.
Dou Lili intentionally exposes the scars on Lin Bao'er's shoulder and even holds a police baton, ready to force Lin Bao'er to confess. Lin Bao'er is under immense pressure, knowing that revealing any flaw will result in her death. Just then, a man supports the faltering Lin Bao'er. It turns out that this man is Lin Bao'er's brother.
