Episode 13 recap: Xiao Yi found the real culprit.
It turned out that on that day, Xu Ruoqing had originally booked a ride-hailing car to go downhill, but Wu Yuexin drove over and found Xu Ruoqing, bringing up the topic of contract renewal. Xu Ruoqing refused, saying that she really didn't want to renew the contract. Wu Yuexin mentioned that if Xu Ruoqing didn't renew, she would no longer have access to those resources in the future. Xu Ruoqing expressed indifference, stating that she just wanted to live an ordinary life from now on.
Wu Yuexin mentioned that it was the last day and offered to give Xu Ruoqing a ride downhill. Xu Ruoqing canceled the ride-hailing car and got into Wu Yuexin's car. On the way, Wu Yuexin brought up the matter again, feeling that she had put a lot of effort into promoting Xu Ruoqing's career, sacrificing her own family and even considering divorce. She said that if Xu Ruoqing left, she would have nothing.
Xu Ruoqing mentioned that she wanted to take a walk down the mountain. Wu Yuexin drove the car and intentionally collided with Xu Ruoqing, dragging him into the trunk. Later, Wu Yuexin went to find rescue personnel to help examine the car. When Wu Yuexin saw the Panzi Supermarket ahead, she went to check and found no one inside. Wu Yuexin wanted to conceal the dents on the front of the car, so she deliberately staged a car accident.
However, what Wu Yuexin didn't expect was that at that time, Pan Xiaofeng was indeed inside the supermarket and witnessed everything. While Wu Yuexin went to find someone to inspect the car, Pan Xiaofeng took the dashcam recorder from Wu Yuexin's car and dragged Xu Ruoqing out of the trunk, moving him to the mountain. At that time, Xu Ruoqing was still struggling inside the bag, and Pan Xiaofeng took a shovel and struck his head multiple times.
Wu Yuexin intentionally had someone release the photos of Xu Ruoqing and her husband having a secret meeting to make everyone speculate that the original wife had killed the mistress. However, as long as Wu Yuexin's husband came forward and testified that Wu Yuexin sacrificed her family for Xu Ruoqing, Wu Yuexin would no longer have a motive for murder and could clear herself of suspicion.
Xiao Yi expressed that Xu Ruoqing would never have imagined that Wu Yuexin would still be trying to create publicity at this point.
Wu Yuexin stated that if it weren't for her, Xu Ruoqing would still be a mere tea-serving waitress. Xiao Yi mentioned that Xu Ruoqing's brother, Xu Cheng, was dying of lung cancer, and they didn't want money; they just wanted to be reunited as siblings. Wu Yuexin said that Xu Ruoqing had promised her that as long as they didn't meet as siblings, she would send a large sum of money to Xu Cheng every month.
Xu Cheng became extremely agitated and attempted to stab Xu Ruoqing with a knife. Xiao Yi quickly intervened, and they managed to intercept Xu Cheng from behind. Xiao Yi and the others questioned Wu Yuexin, who actually knew that Xu Ruoqing had a mental illness and that he would cut himself on the leg, but she didn't want to take him to see a psychologist or let anyone know about it, so she didn't allow him to wear short skirts.
Xiao Yi felt that something was not right. The collision injuries and the wound on the head were admitted by Wu Yuexin and Pan Xiaofeng, but the real fatal injury was mechanical asphyxia. Xu Ruoqing was strangled to death by someone. Xiao Yi realized that there was a third person present that day, Xu Cheng, who was riding a bicycle and lingering near Panzi Supermarket. Xiao Yi questioned Xu Cheng, who admitted that he was the one who did it. He received a message from Xu Ruoqing saying that he wouldn't come back, and coincidentally, he saw Pan Xiaofeng dragging someone away.
Xu Cheng saw the sleeve of the person and thought it was Wu Yuexin. He believed that if Wu Yuexin didn't die, Xu Ruoqing wouldn't come home with him. So when he saw the person struggling inside the sack, he strangled her. Xu Cheng mentioned that when he saw the memento that day, he realized his mistake. He didn't expect that he would be on the verge of death and had killed the person he loved the most with his own hands. It seemed like fate was playing a cruel joke on him.
