Episode 9 recap: Chen Shanhe and Hongyu Gang are cooperating.

Several people went out to find Chen Shanhe, and Boss Xu went out with him. The other party had a very arrogant attitude. In fact, since the scam by Buye Zha, Chen Shanhe knew that he needed to meet with the other party. He already had a detailed plan in mind. Chen Shanhe mentioned that he is currently involved in a business of selling Western medicine. The other party had also considered this, but if they were to proceed, they would have to engage in smuggling. Chen Shanhe proposed that the other party provide him with the money, and he would take care of everything.

Chen Shanhe approached Boss Xu, hoping that he could help. Later, when they returned home, Chen Shanhe showed a large sum of money to He Yufang, and she was very happy to receive such a large amount of money all at once. Afterwards, the two of them went to a Western restaurant. Chen Shanhe wanted to treat someone to a meal at the restaurant, but to avoid embarrassment, he asked He Yufang to come and try it first. He Yufang could tell that it wasn't Chen Shanhe's first time at a Western restaurant, and Chen Shanhe simply didn't want He Yufang to suffer anymore.

The two of them drank quite a bit of alcohol that night. Chen Shanhe said that the happiest thing for him was being able to see He Yufang as soon as he opened his eyes. When He Yufang woke up in the morning, Chen Shanhe had already gone out to work. Seeing the breakfast on the stove, He Yufang couldn't help but feel very happy. Chen Weiqing is now using various means to discredit the restaurant. He swears to avenge the restaurant. Since the other party wants to defame them, they will show their true abilities and leave Tan Yaoheng speechless.

Chen Weiqing learned that Tan Yaoheng was writing food reviews for a restaurant. Chen Weiqing could even guess what he wrote. Chen Weiqing claimed that he had read all the reviews Tan Yaoheng had written in the past three years, and he even knew that they were all nonsense. Tan Yaoheng asked him what he was planning to do. Chen Weiqing simply told him that he was seeking revenge.

Chen Shanhe arrived early at the Western restaurant and met with James Hou, the secretary of the general manager of Yihe Trading Company. As soon as Chen Shanhe arrived, he presented his generous gift, knowing what the other party liked and catering to his preferences. Chen Shanhe then mentioned that he had already helped James clear the debt of the gambling den. He did all these things in order to cooperate with James Hou.

He hoped to place an order for some Western medicine in the name of the trading company. The members of the Hongyu Gang would help them transport the goods back, and then they would be distributed to various locations through the gang. This way, Chen Shanhe's mission would be considered complete. Chen Weiqing had been pestering Tan Yaoheng because he wanted an explanation. He even went to read every newspaper Tan Yaoheng published. As a result, Tan Yaoheng had someone beat up Chen Weiqing. After Chen Weiqing recovered from his injuries, he went to find Tan Yaoheng again. He even knew Tan Yaoheng's writing style. Chen Weiqing said that as long as he was alive, he would demand justice.

Chen Weiqing now also wrote food reviews and published them in the newspaper, essentially challenging Tan Yaoheng. Sometimes, Tan Yaoheng couldn't come up with articles on his own, so he needed help from others. However, because Chen Weiqing had been bothering him lately, his articles were not published. But he still needed to pay Chen Weiqing. Currently, he had no money at all, and even the restaurants where he used to write had kicked him out. Chen Weiqing laughed at him from the sidelines. Chen Weiqing had achieved his goal of seeking revenge and settling old scores.

Kuang Qingkui was now worried that the Nanjing government had their eyes on him. A political upheaval was about to happen, and in order to survive, Kuang Qingkui had to make some changes. When Liao Liusi returned home after buying things, he always felt like someone was following him. However, every time he turned around to look, there was no one there. This year, he intentionally turned back several times but didn't find anything. Liao Liusi found it very strange.
