Episode 41 recap: Luo Huai Gong threatened Wu Shen Yuan.
Realizing that he had no way out, Luo Huai Gong disclosed all the facts to Wu Shen Yuan, even presenting Aunt Ling's recording, which implicated Aunt Ling in Kong Ling Ji's death. Wu Shen Yuan realized that he was completely under Luo Huai Gong's threat. Furthermore, Luo Huai Gong mentioned that Wu Jia, under Wu Shen Yuan's name, possessed a significant amount of money and properties. Initially, Wu Shen Yuan didn't believe it, but under Luo Huai Gong's coercion and enticement, he became extremely angry, shocked by Luo Huai Gong's cunning and treachery.
Wu Shen Yuan promptly expelled Luo Huai Gong from his premises. Before leaving, Luo Huai Gong placed a USB drive on Wu Shen Yuan's desk, instructing him to take a closer look. Meanwhile, the police were questioning Secretary Su about the matter. Secretary Su received another notice of detention from the police. Chen Shu was still fighting for Secretary Su's rights and assured her not to worry, promising to help her.
Lao Hou explicitly told Secretary Su that he didn't want her to suffer the same fate as Zheng Duo and Wang Peng. Secretary Su immediately understood his intentions. Upon returning home, Wu Shen Yuan summoned his wife and questioned her, emphasizing that she might be considered an accomplice under the current circumstances. His wife explained that everything she did was to protect him and their daughter from any harm. She repeatedly stressed that she hadn't received a single penny. However, her words, along with her greetings to subordinates on Wu Shen Yuan's behalf, could potentially incriminate them.
At that moment, Luo Huai Gong arrived at Wu Shen Yuan's house again, expressing a desire to have a private conversation. Luo Huai Gong attempted to win over Wu Shen Yuan, but he flatly refused, asserting that he wasn't threatened by anyone and would not compromise his moral principles. Wu Shen Yuan even suggested that Luo Huai Gong surrender himself to the police. Luo Huai Gong retorted, claiming that Wu Shen Yuan owed his father a life. Wu Shen Yuan became extremely agitated. Luo Huai Gong then used Jiajia's safety as leverage to threaten Wu Shen Yuan. Wu Shen Yuan contemplated striking Luo Huai Gong, but his cardiac condition resurfaced, and he was rushed to the hospital.
After accompanying Wu Shen Yuan to the hospital, Luo Huai Gong shamelessly took credit for his actions, while their colleagues left the scene. Luo Huai Gong insincerely saw them off. Subsequently, he whispered in the secretary's ear, hoping for a speedy resolution of the matter. The secretary naturally understood Luo Huai Gong's intentions and departed shortly after.
Lao Hou reported the details of Wang Peng's murder case to his superiors, expressing the belief that it was impossible for Secretary Su alone to have carried out the entire process of killing Wang Peng. However, the superiors stated that their model alone couldn't fully confirm the matter.
He even spoke in Wu Shen Yuan's tone, demanding a swift conclusion to the case, and the Chief of Police had no choice but to agree. The Chief of Police dispatched a subordinate to Macau to promptly inform the department head, Luo Huai Gong, about the matter. Luo Huai Gong also informed Aunt Ling and said that the only way now was to silence her before the police found Kong Ling Ji's wife. Initially, Aunt Ling didn't want to do these things, but Luo Huai Gong threatened her again, mentioning that he would also threaten Jiajia in the future. Aunt Ling became truly anxious this time.
Aunt Ling, once again, followed Luo Huai Gong's advice and prepared to go to Macau to find Kong Ling Ji's wife. Upon learning that Wu Shen Yuan had awakened, she hurried over to him, stating that she wanted to go to Macau to see her daughter and would leave tonight. Wu Shen Yuan didn't say a word and watched his wife leave.
Wu Shen Yuan asked his subordinate to help him make a call to the Provincial Party Office. He still intended to confess everything to the organization. The Chief of Police received a confidential letter from the Secretary, learning that the Provincial Party Inspection Team was coming to conduct an inspection. In reality, it was a deliberate move to ensure that Lao Hou's team couldn't leave the city and especially couldn't go to Macau.
However, when Aunt Ling was about to leave, the police restricted her movements. Luo Huai Gong already knew that the situation had been exposed. The police thought Luo Huai Gong would take the opportunity to escape, but they didn't expect him to have someone disguise themselves as him in an attempt to deceive them.
