Episode 9 recap: Che Su Wei convinced the boss to save Gu Yuan.
Zheng Tai's subordinates found the Taoist priest who disguised himself as a ghost and stole gold at the stolen goods location, and brought him back to Zheng Tai for punishment. Upon learning that his gold had been stolen from the gold mine by someone pretending to be a ghost, Zheng Tai became furious and killed the Taoist priest with a single blow. After dealing with the gold thief, Zheng Tai turned his attention to Yan Jun Jie and Gu Yuan, who had failed to steal the registration book.
Yan Jun Jie claimed to be from the Shazhou Police Station, but Zheng Tai didn't believe him and had him beaten up. Chen Da Lu sent someone to inform Zheng Tai that Yan Jun Jie was indeed a police officer. Only then did Zheng Tai agree to release Yan Jun Jie, while Gu Yuan was left behind.
When Yan Jun Jie was taken away, Gu Yuan reminded him to find Che Su Wei. As Yan Jun Jie was being escorted out of the gold mine, he pleaded with Chen Da Lu to save Gu Yuan, but Chen Da Lu couldn't do anything and could only go back to find Che Su Wei.
After Yan Jun Jie returned, he informed Che Su Wei about Gu Yuan's situation and said that the only person who could save Gu Yuan now was Liu Fei. Therefore, Che Su Wei immediately went to find Liu Fei. Che Su Wei revealed his identity to Liu Fei and explained that they were investigating the gold mine case. He offered to help Liu Fei take the gold mine back from Zheng Tai's men. Only then did Liu Fei agree to assist.
Zheng Tai planned to drown Gu Yuan, but Liu Fei and his men arrived just in time. They forced Zheng Tai to hand over Gu Yuan, and without waiting for Zheng Tai's response, they took Gu Yuan away. To ensure Gu Yuan's safety, Che Su Wei directly brought him back to the French Concession. The Public Security Bureau also prohibited Gu Yuan from returning to Shazhou. However, Gu Yuan was worried about the person who stole the registration book and their motives.
After dealing with the traitors among his subordinates, Zheng Tai learned that Liu Fei's whereabouts were unknown. He immediately sent people to find Liu Fei, determined to eliminate him. After helping Gu Yuan, Liu Fei had his casino taken away by Zheng Tai and was chased by Zheng Tai's men in the streets. Although Liu Fei was skilled, he couldn't fight off multiple attackers and accidentally got injured. With no way to escape, he was cornered in an alley. Fortunately, Che Su Wei appeared at that moment.
Che Su Wei intervened in time to help Liu Fei out of the predicament and gave him some money. He explained that the serial murder case related to the gold mine had not been solved yet, so they couldn't take action against the gold mine. He asked Liu Fei to help find the registration book for the entry and exit of the gold mine.
Yan Jun Jie got into a fight with Liu Fei due to Zheng Tai's men, and he wanted Chen Da Lu to intervene, but Chen Da Lu refused to get involved. Chen Da Lu ignored the chaos in Shazhou and revealed what Yan Jun Kang had done for Yan Jun Jie behind his back. Yan Jun Jie only then realized that Yan Jun Kang had done a lot for him. Yan Jun Jie expressed gratitude to Yan Jun Kang and went home to have a drink with him. After drinking, Yan Jun Kang told Yan Jun Jie about their financial difficulties at home.
The next day, Tang Shiye searched for the person who stole the registration book at the mine and had all the miners compare their measurements one by one. In the end, they caught Yan Jun Kang. Tang Shiye was upset because he hadn't dealt with Yan Jun Jie earlier, and now Yan Jun Jie had informed Che Su Wei and saved Gu Yuan. He saw this as an opportunity to take revenge on Yan Jun Kang.
When Yan Jun Jie learned about Yan Jun Kang's situation, he immediately went to Tang Shiye to get him released. However, Tang Shiye made Yan Jun Jie kneel down and crawl between his legs before agreeing to release Yan Jun Kang. In order to save Yan Jun Kang, Yan Jun Jie had to endure this humiliation and comply with Tang Shiye's demand.
When Yan Jun Kang returned home, he discovered a letter from Dong Mei, saying that she had run away with her lover. Shortly after, Yan Jun Kang learned that Dong Mei's body had been found, which devastated him. Yan Jun Jie, unable to get help from Chen Da Lu, had to turn to Gu Yuan for assistance.
Liu Fei held Tang Shiye's wife hostage and forced Tang Shiye to retrieve the registration book for him. Liu Fei then gave the registration book to Che Su Wei. After examining the registration book, Gu Yuan and Che Su Wei discovered that Fan Chuan Gui and other missing people were last seen with Yan Jun Kang. They began to pay attention to Yan Jun Kang.
Gu Yuan and Che Su Wei searched Dong Mei's room and found many IOUs, raising suspicions about her departure. Without informing Yan Jun Jie, Che Su Wei secretly investigated Yan Jun Kang, while Gu Yuan pretended to be Fan Chuan Gui's brother and actively approached Yan Jun Kang to inquire about Fan Chuan Gui's whereabouts, hoping to make money with Yan Jun Kang.
Yan Jun Kang was pressured by the hidden boss to pay money when Gu Yuan asked him about making money. He decided to take Gu Yuan to meet the boss.
