Episode 8 recap: Xu Wei Biao fought fiercely with He Er Qing to save Zhong Yu Nan.
Wang Wei Guo asked He Er Qing to teach Zhong Er a lesson, but he didn't expect He Er Qing to go to extremes and kill the person. This made him feel uneasy, so he thought of offering some money to cover up the matter. However, He Er Qing unexpectedly demanded a table from Wang Wei Guo's company. Knowing that He Er Qing was ruthless, Wang Wei Guo found it difficult to refuse his request and had to arrange for He Er Qing to stay in the company, even involving the female secretary.
Zhong Pan Nan prepared the money and waited by the roadside. He Er Qing's men took Zhong Pan Nan to meet He Er Qing. Taking advantage of the moment when he was washing his hands, Zhong Pan Nan took out a hidden blade and put it in his mouth. When he saw He Er Qing, He Er Qing was with the female secretary.
He Er Qing found Zhong Pan Nan intriguing and was immediately attracted to her. Zhong Yu Nan remained silent, so He Er Qing forcefully squeezed Zhong Pan Nan's mouth, causing blood to gush out from Zhong Pan Nan's mouth. The incident frightened the secretary on the bed, almost making her scream.
He Er Qing mocked Zhong Pan Nan, saying that the tricks she was using were leftovers from the past. Zhong Pan Nan was helpless in the face of He Er Qing's indifference. When Xu Wei Dong returned home for dinner, he casually mentioned to his mother that she should stay indoors as it was not safe outside due to Zhong Er's disappearance. Xu Wei Biao kept this in mind and became concerned for Zhong Yu Nan. He knew that He Er Qing was most likely responsible for targeting the Zhong family. He took Zhang Peng and Lin Zhi Hua to investigate He Er Qing's hideout. They observed for a while using binoculars but didn't see anyone. Xu Wei Biao became anxious and took the risk of smashing He Er Qing's window, but still, no one came out. He then picked up a brick and courageously broke down He Er Qing's door, only to find that there was no one inside.
After thinking it over, Xu Wei Biao decided to go to the Zhong family and see what was happening. He sneaked into the Zhong family under the cover of darkness. Unexpectedly, Xu Wei Dong and the police were also monitoring the Zhong family nearby. When they saw three suspicious figures approaching the Zhong family, they quickly followed. Xu Wei Biao recognized Xu Wei Dong's voice and hurriedly ran away with Lin Zhi Hua and Zhang Peng. Xu Wei Dong, in a moment of desperation, fired a shot and injured Lin Zhi Hua. Fortunately, they promptly took him to the hospital, and Lin Zhi Hua's injuries were not serious, requiring only a period of rest.
Xu Wei Biao sighed and praised Lin Zhi Hua for being lucky and brave, which angered Lin Hong Mei. She immediately slapped Xu Wei Biao hard, blaming him for always hanging out with Lin Zhi Hua and causing trouble everywhere. She warned that it would eventually lead to someone's death.
Xu Wei Dong blamed Xu Wei Biao for the shooting incident, believing that all his years of effort as a security guard had been in vain. As a result, Xu Wei Dong lost his job, and their relationship reached an all-time low. However, Xu Wei Biao didn't take it too seriously and remained focused on saving Zhong Yu Nan, knowing that she was in danger.
Zhong Yu Nan discovered that the scrambled eggs with tomatoes she had eaten were heavily salted, which was a skill unique to the convenience noodle restaurant. She requested the person in charge of guarding her to buy scrambled eggs with tomatoes from that restaurant. In order to achieve her goal, she even claimed that she didn't have much time left to live and wanted to fulfill her wish. Xu Wei Biao and Zhang Peng went to the restaurant for a meal and coincidentally encountered the thugs who were packing up the food. They learned from the restaurant owner that those two individuals were Zhong Yu Nan's friends. They immediately chased after them, but there were too many people on the other side. Zhang Peng quickly held back Xu Wei Biao, advising him not to act impulsively because they wouldn't be able to save Zhong Yu Nan by rushing in.
After thinking it over, Xu Wei Biao decided to seek help from Wang Lei. However, Wang Lei still held a grudge against Zhong Er for causing his father's death and refused to lend a hand. Xu Wei Biao left in anger and decided to rescue Zhong Yu Nan himself. He Er Qing had been successful in seizing territories lately, and now half of the southern part of the city was not enough to satisfy his appetite. In order to make Cheng San Ye step down and use the lives of She San's parents as leverage for She San to kill Cheng San Ye, He Er Qing had Sun Hai Jie arrange for people to patrol the area nearby. They managed to save Cheng San Ye, but Cheng San Ye remained committed to the rules of the underworld and refused to reveal the reasons, resulting in his detention for fifteen days.
With Cheng San Ye absent, Wan He Tang lost its leader, and He Er Qing took advantage of the opportunity to gather all the bosses for a meeting, demanding that they acknowledge him as the new leader of Wan He Tang. The situation was now stronger than any individual, and the bosses had to obediently comply in order to protect their own lives. Xu Wei Biao deliberately approached one of He Er Qing's henchmen to ask for a lighter, while Zhang Peng took the opportunity to steal the keys to the henchman's car. Xu Wei Biao drove the car into the meeting, creating chaos and allowing the bosses to seize the opportunity to escape. He Er Qing resented Xu Wei Biao for ruining his plans and relentlessly attacked him. Xu Wei Biao faced He Er Qing with a determination to die, and the two of them ended up trapped under a cabinet.
The car's fuel tank was damaged, causing the fuel to leak out continuously. The fire ignited and grew more intense. Zhong Pan Nan happened to be near the cabinet and was unwilling to let He Er Qing escape, even at the cost of her own life. She held onto He Er Qing tightly, and the two of them perished together. Xu Wei Biao was rescued by Wang Lei, who arrived at the scene.
He Qingqing is the kind of person who can only be dealt with by someone even more ruthless than him. If you're in the game, you have to play it tough. There's no point in living an honest life. If you're going to be in this world, you have to be ruthless, killing someone without hesitation and wiping out their entire family.
If you're not tough, it'll be your end. Dealing with people in the underworld is just like playing house. If you don't eliminate someone like him, he'll only become more audacious. You have to use whatever method necessary to deal with different kinds of people.
That's why they say the longer you're involved in this, the more your courage diminishes.
