Episode 21 recap: The versatile rescues Zhu Yingtai.
Zhu Yinghua placed Haozi's tombstone in the ancestral hall as a form of tribute to him. However, Zhu Yinghua doesn't understand why his father didn't allow Zhu Liye to leave. Uncle Er explained that Zhu Liye was kept around because of her engagement with the Dai family, and they had their own use for her. He even mentioned luring Romeo out and conveniently killing him.
Zhu Yinghua has no interest in anything else and is solely focused on seeking revenge. Uncle Er reassured her that he would take care of the company's affairs. Uncle Er has now obtained everything he desired, thanks to the help of the chief. At this moment, Lu's mother also arrived. It turns out that they planned everything together, intending to make the Lu and Zhu families eternal enemies.
Uncle Er was involved in the killing of Haozi. They used the pursuit of Zhu Yingtai as a cover, but their main objective was to kill Haozi and force Zhu Yinghua to return and inherit the Zhu family's position. Uncle Er has now obtained what he wanted, and next, he plans to help Lu's mother kill all of Russell's sons. The plan is to attract Romeo and assassinate him.
Romilin is completely under the control of Lu's mother. The headache medicine she gives him contains addictive substances, making it similar to drugs. Lu's mother deliberately showed Romilin a photo of Zhu Yinghua. Romilin immediately recognized her as someone who wants to kill him. Lu's mother assured Romilin that she would handle everything and told him that only the chairman could attend the meeting. Romilin asked Lu's mother to attend the meeting on his behalf.
When Romeo returned home, he noticed that his brother was in a constant state of melancholy. He realized that his brother's mood was off when he didn't take his medication. Romilin even mentioned that he couldn't live without Lu's mother. At that moment, Lu's mother arrived, and Romeo candidly asked her what they needed to do for her to spare their lives. Lu's mother smirked and said she wouldn't let them go. If anyone is to blame, it would be that they are Russell's sons.
Zhu Liye originally planned to disguise herself as a maid and escape from the Zhu family. However, the entire Zhu family is now under the control of Uncle Er, making it impossible for Zhu Liye to escape. When Uncle Er returned, he asked Zhu Liye to marry into the Dai family to secure his position. Zhu Liye naturally refused to compromise. She even shifted the blame onto Romeo and claimed that she would rather die than marry into the Dai family.
Uncle Er also brought back Zhu Yingtai's mother, who saw Zhu Yinghua.
Molly called Romilin out to ask him if he was still taking the medicine given to him by Lu's mother. In fact, she wanted to control him, but Romilin said he couldn't do it anymore. Molly felt that Romilin had been completely brainwashed by Lu's mother. He used to say he wanted to compete with Romeo and pursue his own happiness, but now he was completely different, weak and depressed. At this moment, Romilin began to have a headache again. Molly deliberately spilled the medicine on the ground, and Romilin knelt down to pick it up. Then he quickly put on sunglasses and left.
The reason Uncle Er brought Zhu Yingtai's mother back was to restore his reputation. He hoped she could convince Zhu Liye to work for the Dai family and marry into it. She had also been brainwashed by Uncle Er and thought it would be a good thing for Zhu Liye to marry into the Dai family. Eventually, she agreed. At her plea, Zhu Liye also agreed to have a meal with the Dai family. Zhu Liye thought it was just a simple meal, but they brought up the topic of marriage. Zhu Liye was very angry.
Later, she went to have a drink with Dave. Dave actually had a girlfriend, but she was still bothering him. He explained the situation to Zhu Liye and hoped to be forgiven. Uncle Er even spiked the drink, but fortunately, Dave was not the type to take advantage of others, so he didn't do anything inappropriate to Zhu Liye.
Later, Zhu Yingtai also learned about this. Her godmother comforted her, and she was still very worried about her safety. But as soon as Zhu Yingtai left, she encountered an assassination attempt by someone, and that person was the Joker. Zhu Yingtai's subordinates were all injured, and she was also hurt. However, at the last moment, one of her subordinates sacrificed himself to save her from the Joker.
Zhu Yingtai quickly hid, and then she called the Jack-of-all-Trades for help. The Joker was determined to kill Zhu Yingtai this time, and her chest was injured. Just as he was about to kill her, fortunately, the Jack-of-all-Trades arrived. Although he killed the Joker, Zhu Yingtai stopped breathing. The Jack-of-all-Trades did his best to resuscitate her. At this moment, a butterfly flew by Zhu Yingtai's side, reminding the Jack-of-all-Trades of their past. They hadn't had a chance to be together properly, and he wouldn't let Zhu Yingtai die like this. Thanks to the Jack-of-all-Trades' determination, Zhu Yingtai finally regained the strength to breathe.
However, the wound was very painful, and Zhu Yingtai woke up in pain at night. During this time, the Jack-of-all-Trades had been taking care of her. He originally wanted to take Zhu Yingtai away, but she was still worried about Zhu Yinghua being manipulated.
