Episode 8 recap: Desperate Avenger.
Previously, Wang Fang was tied up here. In fact, on the day when Xiao Yi came to inquire, Wang Fang was still here. Xiao Yi and his team came to inquire about Qu Yuan Yuan's parents. Qu Yuan Yuan's mother expressed their disagreement with Qu Yuan Yuan being together with Qian Feng. However, Qu Yuan Yuan didn't listen to them. Later, they couldn't reach Qu Yuan Yuan and had to call Qian Feng. When Qu Yuan Yuan returned, that's when things went wrong.
Because of Qian Feng's company, Qu Yuan Yuan had improved and even agreed to Qian Feng's proposal. But unexpectedly, Qu Yuan Yuan discovered she was pregnant, which became the final straw that broke the camel's back. She jumped off the roof of the Jinpeng residential complex.
Later, Qian Feng disappeared, and Qu Yuan Yuan's mother didn't know where he went. After their daughter was born, Qu Yuan Yuan's father couldn't bear the shock and had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. He has been in a coma in bed ever since.
Xiao Yi found it strange that Qu Yuan Yuan had already committed suicide three months ago, and Qian Feng only started seeking revenge recently. It didn't add up. Geng Jin's phone kept ringing, so Xiao Yi handed it to Geng Jin to answer. It was a video call, and Han Dong was seen assaulting Wang Fang in the video.
Geng Jin burst into tears, blaming himself for attracting Han Dong's attention and pleading with him to stop hurting Wang Fang. However, Han Dong ignored him. Geng Jin begged them to save Wang Fang. Xiao Yi and the others traced the location and rushed over, only to discover that the video call was actually a recording, which means Wang Fang was beaten before the video was made.
Geng Jin asked Liang Dong Ni to find the technical team and investigate the nearby area. Dou Zi Lin and the others found Wang Fang in a corner, already in a dazed state. Xiao Yi immediately called an ambulance and had Wang Fang taken to the hospital.
Qian Feng sent a video call, showing Han Dong being tied up on the rooftop. This video call was also sent to Han Yongshi. Qian Feng mentioned that he originally wanted them to witness it live, but due to an unexpected incident, they could only watch it in the video.
Han Dong was tied up here, but he was still shouting, asking Qian Feng to kill him quickly, otherwise, he wouldn't let him go. Qian Feng also couldn't understand how Qu Yuan Yuan ended up with such a bastard and got pregnant with his child, only to jump off the roof of this residential complex.
Qian Feng mentioned that once he killed Han Dong, he would go down and reunite with Qu Yuan Yuan. Han Dong didn't expect that Qu Yuan Yuan was actually carrying his child, and he realized that he had truly done wrong. He acknowledged that he was a scoundrel.
Han Yongshi cried out, begging Qian Feng not to harm his son, and fell to the ground. Xiao Yi noticed a passing airplane in the video and asked Liang Dong Ni to quickly check the flight information. He thought that going east on Qifu Road was a possibility. Xiao Yi recalled what Qu Yuan Yuan's mother had said about investigating Jinpeng residential complex, and it turned out to be near Qifu Road. They hurriedly went there.
When Xiao Yi and the others arrived, they urged Qian Feng not to get agitated and reassured him that there was still time to resolve everything. However, Qian Feng felt it was too late. Qian Feng remembered the moments he had with Qu Yuan Yuan before. On that day, he woke up in the back alley and finally found Qu Yuan Yuan, who was taking a frantic shower here.
After much effort, Qu Yuan Yuan had started to recover, but in the end, she still committed suicide. Qian Feng jumped from here, but fortunately, Xiao Yi caught him along with Dou Zi Lin and saved him. Qian Feng was taken away, and Xiao Yi and Dou Zi Lin stayed there to calm their emotions. Dou Zi Lin mentioned that he had saved Xiao Yi's life and asked Xiao Yi to treat him to a big meal.
The serial murder case where the first victim turned into the perpetrator is the most impactful. At first, it seemed like the father, Luo Hai, was the one responsible for the killings, but as the story unfolded, it was revealed that it was actually his daughter who committed the crimes.
In the end, it's a tragic situation for the entire family. The father, who witnessed his daughter being violated in her childhood, felt sorry for another family in a similar situation and chose not to seek revenge or report the crime. After witnessing his daughter committing murder, he felt guilty and decided to bear all the blame for her.
Luo Yu Tong, the daughter, carried various traumas from her childhood and felt neglected by her father. Her pent-up anger exploded in a moment, leading to the murders. As a result, Luo Xiaoman, the child born into this situation, became an orphan.
I hope Xiaoman can grow up in good health. It's important for us to communicate with our parents in a timely manner. A few words of conversation can resolve many conflicts. I hope every child can grow up in a healthy and happy environment.
Currently, in both cases, one or two women have been raped. All the female characters introduced so far are victims, helpless, and portrayed as either crazy or focused on their vulnerability or resistance as victims. The narrative is fixated on women being raped, limiting the issue to gender, and failing to make some people understand that men are not just perpetrators or bystanders.
These monstrous acts are harmful to both men and women, as men can also be victims of rape. Lastly, don't let the notion of chastity hold you hostage. The core socialist values certainly don't dictate that women must remain pure. Sisters, live for your own future.
(P.S.: Saying Yuan Yuan, as a victim, is not entirely innocent is a questionable statement. I'd like to see how you balance resistance and compliance.)
