Episode 23 recap: Chen Sinan's Departure.
After waking up, Chen Sinan felt extremely anxious. Gu Xici appeared and told her that they were in an abandoned factory. He hoped she wouldn't struggle and assured her that he would come to see her every day with the money for going abroad, to witness how she gradually weakened after choosing Gu Lin Xing. When Gu Lin Xing received a phone call from Chen Xuan, he learned that Sinan had been missing for several days. However, he comforted Chen Xuan not to worry excessively and promised to go out and find Sinan himself.
Gu Lin Xing asked someone to help investigate where Gu Xici had gone, but there was no information. Later, he learned from a police officer that his father's death was not natural but caused by someone poisoning him. Gu Xici, being suspected of a crime, had been hiding. Gu Lin Xing admitted he couldn't find Gu Xici either, but promised to inform them as soon as he received any news.
By searching Tang Shu's computer, Gu Lin Xing obtained Gu Xici's location. He asked Tang Shu to help report to the police and went alone to find Sinan. When he saw Chen Sinan at the factory, he was extremely nervous. Gu Xici came out and explained that the oil they had prepared was for themselves and Sinan. But since Gu Lin Xing had arrived, he would be the scapegoat.
After saying this, he attempted to throw the lighter away, but Gu Lin Xing immediately rushed to seize it. They ended up fighting, and finally, Gu Lin Xing emerged victorious. Gu Lin Xing learned that it was Ruan Fang who was responsible for his father's death. He blamed himself for not being resolute enough to keep her out. Chen Sinan, knowing the truth, deeply regretted her lack of determination. She believed that her father wouldn't have died if she had been more decisive. Feeling guilty towards him, she decided to leave the city in the end.
