Episode 19 recap: Xu Wei Biao risked entering the bandits' den to save Zhang Peng, accompanied by his men.
When Lin Zhi Hua saw the lock on the cold storage door, he realized they would have to wait until tomorrow to get out. He advised Sun Chu Cen, who had been shouting and straining her throat, to conserve energy. Lin Zhi Hua found a blanket and even made the thief wear it, sarcastically remarking that the police and thieves were like one big family. In reality, the thief wasn't an extremely heinous criminal; he had only stolen some food and taken advantage of small benefits.
At this point, Sun Chu Cen was already unable to withstand the cold, but she was determined to be strong. She sat alone by the door, and Lin Zhi Hua kept persuading her until they both sat together and wrapped themselves in the blanket. The cold storage had the most food, and the thief skillfully took out a can and handed one to both Lin Zhi Hua and Sun Chu Cen. Sun Chu Cen adamantly refused, but Lin Zhi Hua persuaded her, saying that they were in an extreme situation, and eating it wouldn't be considered stealing. Sun Chu Cen finally accepted it.
Hou Haiying noticed that Lin Zhi Hua and Sun Chu Cen hadn't returned all night and realized something was wrong. She quickly sent Du Hang to look for them. When Du Hang opened the cold storage, he found Lin Zhi Hua sitting in the middle, with Sun Chu Cen and the thief on either side. Du Hang couldn't help but laugh. When Lin Zhi Hua recovered, Du Hang teased him, saying, "The moon over the water is the first to be seen."
Lin Zhi Hua didn't want Hou Haiying to find out about this embarrassing incident, but Du Hang was sent by Hou Haiying, so how could he not know? Hou Haiying scolded Lin Zhi Hua harshly, blaming him for putting Sun Chu Cen in danger. Sun Chu Cen spoke up for Lin Zhi Hua, but she couldn't dissuade Hou Haiying from punishing him. The matter ended with Lin Zhi Hua being punished to write a ten-thousand-word self-reflection.
Wang Lei, Zhang Peng, and Xu Wei Biao met at the tall tower they used to visit when they were young. Xu Wei Biao reminisced about the past and felt emotional. He mentioned that running a bar is profitable nowadays and expressed his desire to open one. He envisioned the three brothers running it together, ensuring a steady stream of wealth. Wang Lei revealed his intention to return to Russia, but Xu Wei Biao refused to accept it and angrily smashed a bottle and stormed off the tower.
Zhang Peng followed to persuade Xu Wei Biao and found him urinating in a corner. He stood on the other side of the wall and continued to persuade him. At that moment, someone quietly approached, and Zhang Peng was dragged away. Xu Wei Biao noticed the sudden silence and became suspicious. When he came out, he couldn't find Zhang Peng but saw a van speeding away. He immediately chased after it but was shot at and forced to retreat by the people in the vehicle.
Wang Lei had already prepared his ticket to go to Russia, but when Zhang Peng got into trouble, he couldn't ignore it. He asked Ivan and An Fei Ya to return to Russia first and boarded the train to Yunjiang himself. Xu Wei Biao didn't dare to tell Lin Hong Mei about his departure this time, and An Fei Ya didn't go back to Russia either. Taking advantage of Ivan's sleep, she quietly sneaked onto the train to Yunjiang. Wang Lei had no choice but to bring her along.
Through the investigation of Xiu Zhi Yi, Du Hang found out about Xiu Jia Rong and Xiu Jia Chang. Now, a highly decomposed body has been discovered in Yanyang, and it is confirmed that Zhang Peng is the person Qian Jun from Yunjiang wants to capture. It is preliminarily inferred that Zhang Peng was abducted by people sent by Qian Jun.
Upon learning that Zhang Peng was involved in the case, Lin Zhi Hua immediately went to the scene of the body's discovery for investigation. He then brought Xiu Zhi Yi to the body, persuading him to reveal the cause and effect, which would potentially save the life of the other person. Hou Haiying had already explicitly forbidden Zhang Peng from getting involved in this case. When she learned that Zhang Peng had taken Xiu Zhi Yi away, she immediately became furious and called her superiors. However, before she could make a complaint, Lin Zhi Hua had already brought Xiu Zhi Yi back and obtained a confession. Hou Haiying quickly hung up the phone.
Lin Zhi Hua knew that he had violated Hou Haiying's orders but was willing to bear all the consequences. However, the immediate priority was to rescue Zhang Peng. Seeing that Lin Zhi Hua had analyzed the case accurately and conducted a detailed investigation of the suspects, Hou Haiying designated him to go to Yunjiang to handle the case, which made Lin Zhi Hua feel pleasantly surprised.
Xu Wei Biao found fellow comrades in Yunjiang and learned from them that Qian Jun mainly operated in human trafficking and high-interest loan businesses. However, the camp was heavily guarded, and there were many personnel. Normal people who went in never came out. Only those who pretended to be unable to repay their debts and were sent in to transport drugs could infiltrate. But this was an extremely dangerous undertaking.
Xu Wei Biao immediately followed the instructions given by the other person. So Xu Wei Biao, Wang Lei, Chu Liu Ge, and Huang Si Er had hoods placed over their heads and were sent into the human storage warehouse. Once the warehouse door was locked, Huang Si Er spat out a blade from his mouth, and the four of them left the warehouse to search for Zhang Peng's whereabouts.
At this point, Zhang Peng had already been arranged by Qian Jun to undergo a surgery to transport drugs and repay his debt. Zhang Peng was injected with anesthesia and fell onto the operating table, constantly begging the person performing the operation not to proceed. However, regardless of his pleas, the person directly injected a needle into his neck.
