Episode 10 recap: Gu Yuan and his team solved the case of the deadly gold robbery.
Yan Jun Kang took Gu Yuan to an underground boxing arena, explaining that it was the fastest way to make money and insisted that Gu Yuan participate in a round. Gu Yuan wanted to lie and say that he couldn't box and was afraid of stepping into the ring, but Yan Jun Kang disregarded his concerns and insisted that Gu Yuan must fight at least one round.
With no other choice, Gu Yuan reluctantly agreed and signed a life-or-death contract. He then pretended to go to the restroom but secretly met with Che Su Wei. Both Che Su Wei and Gu Yuan believed that Yan Jun Kang was testing Gu Yuan's abilities. Gu Yuan was already injured and couldn't reveal his true skills, leaving them unsure of how to handle the upcoming boxing match.
Gu Yuan initially planned to step into the ring and avoid getting hit for one round. However, to his surprise, when one round ended, someone placed additional bets, forcing him to continue fighting until the end. Worried about Gu Yuan's endurance, Che Su Wei took on the role of a sign holder and secretly informed Gu Yuan about his opponent's weaknesses to help him secure victory.
With Che Su Wei's guidance, Gu Yuan fought hard and managed to defeat his formidable opponent after two grueling rounds. However, it was a struggle for him to stand up after the big guy fell. As the spectators demanded compensation from the house, Yan Jun Kang, fearing repercussions, immediately fled with Gu Yuan.
Yan Jun Kang brought Gu Yuan back to his house and attended to his injuries. He told Gu Yuan to rest and recover before involving him in another money-making venture. Yan Jun Kang mentioned a family secret recipe for a laxative that could even extract swallowed gold.
Upon learning about Yan Jun Kang's gold-swallowing business, Gu Yuan discussed the next plan with Che Su Wei. Che Su Wei then arranged for Ren Meng Yao to continue searching for bodies around the river with Yan Jun Jie.
The next day, Yan Jun Kang took Gu Yuan to work in the gold mine. Secretly, Yan Jun Kang hid the gold and, during a water break, swallowed it. Gu Yuan pretended to doubt Yan Jun Kang's laxative and asked him to bring hot water. Seizing the opportunity, Gu Yuan pretended to put the gold in his mouth and waited for Yan Jun Kang to return before swallowing it.
After searching for several days, Yan Jun Jie found nothing. He felt that the local police station didn't trust him and took his assistance for granted. Ren Meng Yao attempted to explain the situation but accidentally revealed Yan Jun Kang's lack of trust. This revelation angered Yan Jun Jie.
Gu Yuan underwent an examination and safely left the gold mine. He kept questioning Yan Jun Kang about where to find people who buy gold, but Yan Jun Kang refused to say anything and insisted that Gu Yuan just follow him. Che Su Wei followed Gu Yuan closely, but Yan Jun Kang, being very cautious, managed to elude her halfway.
Unable to catch up with Gu Yuan, Che Su Wei became extremely worried and sought out Yan Jun Jie and others to search for Gu Yuan together. Yan Jun Jie was angry about the situation involving Yan Jun Kang and, while sulking with Ren Meng Yao, accidentally stumbled upon the clothes of the missing miners. This discovery forced him to urgently join Che Su Wei in the search.
When Gu Yuan arrived at the location, he realized he felt extremely dizzy and realized that he had been drugged by Yan Jun Kang. Yan Jun Kang confessed to Gu Yuan, admitting that he didn't have any secret recipe for a laxative that could make gold come out. He had used this method to deceive the miners into stealing gold and then killed them, cutting open their bodies to take the gold.
Upon learning the truth about the gold theft and murders, Gu Yuan demanded that Yan Jun Kang confess everything. Yan Jun Kang proceeded to confess to the murders and the extortion by Dong Mei, blaming Dong Mei for not reciprocating his feelings. Yan Jun Kang revealed everything and was about to attack Gu Yuan when Che Su Wei arrived just in time, preventing Yan Jun Kang from carrying out his plan.
Realizing that he had failed, Yan Jun Kang took Gu Yuan hostage. Yan Jun Jie, knowing that Yan Jun Kang had committed murder, pleaded with him to change his ways. Yan Jun Jie begged Yan Jun Kang to release Gu Yuan, and during Yan Jun Kang's emotional turmoil, Gu Yuan launched a surprise attack and managed to escape.
After escaping, Gu Yuan retrieved the gold he had swallowed from his mouth, which surprised Yan Jun Kang. Yan Jun Kang was captured, and Zheng Tai took the gold to confront Chief Zhang, hoping to settle the matter and break ties with Chief Zhang since he knew that Chief Zhang had ordered Yan Jun Kang to steal gold from the mine.
Thinking that he had the gold and could challenge Chief Zhang, Zheng Tai was betrayed by Master Tang and, in the end, was killed by Chief Zhang. Chief Zhang believed that he had control over the entire gold mine, but at that moment, Che Su Wei arrived with documents from the French Concession, demanding Chief Zhang's cooperation in investigating the series of murders at the mine. Chief Zhang realized that his actions were about to be exposed and prepared to sell his assets and flee as soon as possible.
Yan Jun Kang confessed to the police station about the murders of the miners and the strangling of Dong Mei, but he refused to disclose the identity of the person behind him, as he had obtained his police position through Chief Zhang, acting as a substitute for Yan Jun Jie.
