Episode 23 recap: Mr. Zhu's ugly appearance was completely exposed.

Zhu Guanwen's subordinate quickly reported to Zhu Guanwen and Lin Bao'er that Mr. Zhu had passed out from sleep. Afterwards, Lin Bao'er and Zhu Guanwen returned to the mansion together. The person holding the oil lamp arrived in the room, and Lin Bao'er saw the clock that she had seen before. Using the password left by her father, she opened the clock and discovered that it contained information about Mr. Zhu's human trafficking activities. It turned out that Zhu Guanwen's father was not Mr. Zhu, but rather he had killed the only son of a family surnamed Zhou. Mr. Zhu had expanded his power by seizing the family's property.

However, at that moment, the lamp suddenly lit up. Mr. Zhu appeared and said that it was indeed Xue Tong who could obtain the secret. Mr. Zhu still insisted that Lin Bao'er had bewitched his own son. Zhu Guanwen took out the secret documents to show Mr. Zhu, but Mr. Zhu pretended that he had always taken care of Zhu Guanwen and his mother, and that Zhu Guanwen's father had died at a young age.

Naturally, Zhu Guanwen did not believe him and questioned Mr. Zhu, asking if he had killed his mother, who was supposed to be able to swim but was reported as having accidentally drowned. Mr. Zhu also felt that Zhu Guanwen did not value their father-son relationship at all, and he ordered his men to tie up Lin Bao'er and Zhu Guanwen.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Bao'er quietly cut the ropes with a knife. Zhu Guanwen accused his father of the despicable act of human trafficking and even said that he couldn't do anything right. However, Mr. Zhu claimed that with money, he could control everything in town, and the reason he killed Lin Bao'er's father was because he knew too much.

Mr. Zhu told them that in this world, only the strongest person could survive till the end. He also claimed that Zhu Guanwen's mother was the woman he loved the most, so Zhu Guanwen had to become his son. Lin Bao'er compared Mr. Zhu to a wandering child, and Mr. Zhu pointed the gun at Lin Bao'er.
