Episode 28 recap: Lu Shan was murdered while investigating the truth.
Shortly after Dai Zhi Yong returned to the police station to confirm that Dai Liangfu and Jia Lin's brother were indeed comrades, Wei Hong Jun received a report of Jia Lin's disappearance at Xu Mansion. Wei Hong Jun found the timing of Jia Lin's disappearance too coincidental and, upon meeting Xu Ke Ji, despite Xu Ke Ji angrily berating his subordinates for not knowing Jia Lin's whereabouts, Wei Hong Jun sensed that he was acting and requested to review the surveillance footage.
Xu Jia Yin arranged for Yan Qing Qing to be transferred to another hospital, hoping that a change of environment would improve her condition. When she arrived at Director Fang's recuperation center, she discovered that it was a great place, with happy-looking patients. This was all thanks to the elderly volunteers who worked there, who were well-informed about the patients' conditions and had rich life experiences. They helped ease the patients' worries, leading to improved health conditions.
Xu Jia Yin volunteered to become a volunteer, and Director Fang naturally welcomed her. However, volunteers also needed to pass an exam, which posed no difficulty for Xu Jia Yin. Gong Qi took Jiang Yue out for a meal and during the meal, she expressed her concern for Jiang Yue's well-being and insisted on accompanying her. They could see each other every day.
Jiang Yue immediately realized that this was not the real reason and questioned Gong Qi. Unable to deceive Jiang Yue any longer, Gong Qi revealed that she wanted to divorce Lu Gao Yuan. Jiang Yue immediately deduced that it was because of what Lu Shan had said that Lu Gao Yuan didn't want Gong Qi. Although Jiang Yue had forced Gong Qi to leave Lu Gao Yuan last time, it was just an angry outburst. Now that Gong Qi and Lu Gao Yuan were married, they should uphold the sanctity of their marriage. Furthermore, Gong Qi had given up her position as an outstanding teacher for Lu Gao Yuan. This made Jiang Yue feel that her mother was not valued and she wanted to confront Lu Shan about it.
Gong Qi was worried that Jiang Yue would be distressed and tried to stop her from going. She advised Jiang Yue not to dwell on unhappy things and to move forward. Gong Qi placed a box in the car and as soon as she got in, someone held a knife to her throat and demanded that she drive immediately. After driving halfway, the person suddenly asked Gong Qi to pull over. They took out a USB drive and demanded that Gong Qi copy a confidential file of Lu Gao Yuan's onto it, or else Jiang Yue would be harmed.
Upon hearing that Jiang Yue was in danger, Gong Qi immediately got out of the car to argue with the person. Lu Shan had been following Gong Qi and sensed that something was wrong. He followed the man all the way to the Pan Shi Group building. Lu Shan looked up and saw only one office with lights on. He knew that the man must have gone there, so he quietly approached and overheard the man reporting to He Pei, stating that his actions were surely secure and that Gong Qi would definitely attempt to steal Lu Gao Yuan's confidential file.
Lu Shan was stunned by the scene before him, and in his distracted state, he accidentally bumped into a trash can, making a noise. He Pei quickly chased after him and recognized Lu Shan. He instructed his subordinates to kill Lu Shan to silence him. Lu Shan drove his car out of Pan Shi Group, and the person chased after him in He Pei's car. After a fierce chase, they forced Lu Shan's car off a cliff. The person was certain that Lu Shan would die and reported to He Pei that the mission was successful.
At the bottom of the cliff, Lu Shan's car was badly damaged from the collision. Covered in blood, he was trapped inside the car. Thinking of Pan Xiao Jie's love for him, he closed his eyes for the last time. Xu Jia Yin had once seen a small bag of white powder in the evidence room. The powder was so small that it had accidentally fallen out of the paper bag at the bottom, making it easy to miss.
Lu Jiang believed it was drugs, so he and Wu Yi Dong found the bag of drugs in the evidence room. They discovered that it was less than one gram and, after testing, confirmed that it was the same drug Xu Mai had taken. This particular drug had not yet circulated in the market and had been confiscated by Wu Yi Dong during a drug raid. Due to its small size, he hadn't noticed it.
Now, the key to solving the case was finding the source of this bag of drugs. Wu Yi Dong felt guilty and wanted to reflect, but at the moment, the most important thing was to solve the case. Xiao Zhi told Wu Yi Dong to reflect later. Lu Jiang had started to suspect Pan Yue Yang, so he was investigating the case from twenty years ago involving Pan Yue Yang. Someone informed him that Fang Xingye, who was previously in charge of the case, liked to delve into the underlying reasons, and perhaps he could provide some different insights.
Before Lu Jiang could approach Fang Xingye, he received a call from Wei Hong Jun and rushed over to learn that Lu Shan had died. He couldn't accept it and collapsed on the spot. Xiao Zhi and Wei Hong Jun both believed that Xu Ke Ji was not the "Flying Eagle," but Pan Yue Yang had many doubts. Considering Lu Jiang's relationship with Pan Yue Yang, they did not confront Lu Jiang directly.
Lu Jiang suspected that Lu Shan's death was related to Pan Shi Group, so he went to talk to the security guard. He discovered that Zhao Zhiming had already resigned earlier in the morning, and the current security guard on duty was a newcomer. He immediately ordered an investigation into Zhao Zhiming.
