Episode 2 recap: Lu Jiang was locked up while Fei Ying escaped.
Lu Shan dropped Pan Yue Yang off at home, just as he got out of the car to open the door for Pan Yue Yang, he heard a shattering sound coming from inside. Pan Yue Yang sat back down, his body feeling weak. Inside the Pan family's living room, Pan Wang was convulsing on the floor. Su Pan was worried he might bite his tongue and quickly attended to him.
Despite Pan Yue Yang's immense wealth, Pan Wang's poor health prevented him from inheriting the family business. This left Pan Yue Yang feeling disappointed. He left the chaos behind and went straight to his study. Su Pan and Lu Jiang had known each other since childhood, and Pan Yue Yang considered Lu Jiang to be part of the family. He hoped that Lu Jiang would marry Su Pan soon and prepare to take over the business together.
Lu Jiang formulated a new anti-drug plan. After reviewing it, the higher-ups decided to go with Lu Jiang's proposal. Director He, acting as the overall commander, along with Dai Zhi Yong, joined Lu Jiang for the final analysis and deployment. Dai Zhi Yong believed that allocating police forces to the riverbank would weaken the tracking team's strength and increase the risk of losing the target. He wanted Lu Jiang to take responsibility for it.
Lu Jiang bluntly stated that he had already explained the risks in the plan. Moreover, he was certain that the truck would take the newly opened Tunnel No. 1 because of the inadequate security measures inside, making it the easiest route for them to exploit. Therefore, he had arranged police forces on both ends of the tunnel. One of Dai Zhi Yong's subordinates knocked on the meeting room door, quietly informing him that they had received a tip-off that could lead them to a big fish. Dai Zhi Yong initially thought of postponing the matter, but considering their plan to capture Fei Ying, he suspected it might be related. He reported the situation to Director He, who then locked Lu Jiang in the meeting room and gathered the team to prepare for departure.
From the meeting room window, Lu Jiang saw Dai Zhi Yong confiscating the cell phones of all the team members involved. He sensed that something was wrong and wanted to go and see, only to find himself locked inside. The two guards at the door made it clear that Dai Zhi Yong ordered them to keep an eye on Lu Jiang, otherwise, they would be held accountable.
Feeling helpless, Lu Jiang found his phone and sent a message to Xiao Zhi. At that moment, Xiao Zhi was with Director He, and he frowned, unsure how to reply to Lu Jiang. Just then, the drug trafficking vehicle they had been closely monitoring had entered Linqing City. As Lu Jiang had anticipated, the vehicle didn't head to the riverbank but instead went into the mountains, following the exact route of Tunnel No. 1. Impressed, Lu Jiang closely followed the drug trafficking vehicle, while Dai Zhi Yong continued to track them.
From the surveillance footage, Xiao Zhi noticed that Dai Zhi Yong's car was in danger of being ambushed, so he warned him. Dai Zhi Yong's vehicle was then rear-ended and forced to stop.
Dai Zhi Yong got out of the car and chased after the tunnel while commanding his team to stay alert. Shortly after the drug trafficking vehicle entered the tunnel, thick smoke began to billow out, indicating that something was wrong. Dai Zhi Yong quickened his pace and hurried to the scene. When he arrived, he found that the drug trafficking vehicle had been abandoned, with open boxes scattered on the ground.
Upon receiving the news, Lu Qi immediately ordered his companion to set a fire. They waited for a truck to emerge from the tunnel and quickly followed behind. In order to make the truck stop, Lu Qi placed a siren on the roof and used his horn to shout at the driver, asking him to stop. However, the truck driver completely ignored him and continued driving forward, ignoring Lu Qi's attempts to communicate. In the end, the truck rolled over and caused an explosion, with the driver burning beyond recognition and the vehicle destroyed.
Xiao Zhi and Director He arrived at the riverside with the police force, but it was already too late. There were no traces left by the river. The reason Lu Jiang was locked in the office was because Dai Zhi Yong received a tip-off and found five grams of drugs in Lu Jiang's home. As Lu Jiang was Lu Shan's younger brother, the operation plan was temporarily changed within the bureau, allowing Fei Ying to successfully escape.
Lu Jiang was extremely frustrated, believing that if there hadn't been internal conflict within the police department, Fei Ying would have been captured this time. Xiao Zhi, feeling frustrated himself, was also struck by Lu Jiang's words. He reminded Lu Jiang that Dai Zhi Yong was still their comrade and they shouldn't go too far. However, when Lu Jiang saw Dai Zhi Yong, he couldn't help but taunt him. The tense atmosphere between the two made everyone uncomfortable, and Director He quickly intervened, asking them to sit down and talk it out.
With some personal emotions involved, Lu Jiang analyzed the case and directly pointed out that Fei Ying used the pre-spread information to lead people to follow the drug trafficking vehicle, then released smoke to mislead them with a decoy, and took the opportunity to transport the drugs. Lu Jiang held Dai Zhi Yong partially responsible for this because he failed to inform him and discuss countermeasures promptly upon learning about Lu Shan's involvement in drug-related activities.
Dai Zhi Yong took Hou Ping'an to find their informant, Ma San, only to discover that Ma San had already fainted due to excessive drug use. They couldn't expect to learn the truth from Ma San's mouth.
