Episode 26 recap: Jiang Xiao Yuan discovered a chip in their brain.
Xie Yizhuang's makeup incident went viral, causing her to lose face. She persistently cried out for Jiang Xiao Yuan to be held accountable. The makeup was handled by the Amy Studio, and Jiang Xiao Yuan was certain they hadn't made any mistakes. They refused to take the blame and requested to review the surveillance footage, but no one allowed them to do so.
Upon learning the situation, Qi Lian immediately called their father and asked him to talk to Xie Yi's father, requesting that Xie Yi not escalate the situation and promising to provide an explanation afterward. Jiang Bo saw the news and immediately realized that Fan Xiao Xiao was behind the incident. They promptly found Yue Ningchuan and confronted her. Yue Ningchuan admitted that she couldn't resist Fan Xiao Xiao's influence, which led her to betray Jiang Bo. Jiang Bo didn't accept her apology and instead went to resolve the situation for Jiang Xiao Yuan.
Jiang Bo openly stated that Jiang Xiao Yuan was their assistant, so it was their responsibility when something went wrong. They offered Xie Yi a condition: to give her a magazine cover or a chance to be the leading actress. Xie Yi didn't believe Jiang Bo had that capability, so Jiang Bo revealed that they were Fan Xiao Xiao's son. No one had ever known that Fan Xiao Xiao had a son. Jiang Bo called Fan Xiao Xiao in front of everyone, forcing her to yield and allowing Jiang Bo to bring Xie Yi for a discussion. After hanging up the phone, Fan Xiao Xiao angrily smashed the phone in her hand.
Upon learning that Jiang Xiao Yuan wanted to see the surveillance footage but couldn't, Qi Lian used their identity as the young master of the Qi family and successfully had the security retrieve the footage. Jiang Xiao Yuan recognized Meimei as the person who did Xie Yi's makeup. As Jiang Xiao Yuan was leaving, they unexpectedly saw Fan Xiao Xiao reprimanding Jiang Bo. Their head began to spin, recalling seeing Fan Xiao Xiao's face in the test chamber, and they fainted on the ground.
Qi Lian took Jiang Xiao Yuan to the hospital, and following Officer Chen's suggestion, a brain CT scan was performed, revealing that Jiang Xiao Yuan had an implanted chip. Qi Lian then learned that Officer Chen and others had publicly announced that the Huo Baiyu case had been closed, but in reality, they were still investigating due to the discovery of a chip in Huo Baiyu's brain.
The chip in Jiang Xiao Yuan's brain had already fused with their nerves. Removing it hastily would pose unpredictable dangers. Qi Lian requested Officer Chen to keep this matter confidential and also underwent a brain scan, but no chip was found.
Jiang Bo decided to make his relationship with Fan Xiao Xiao public in advance, sparking continuous discussions online. Some people were inquiring about the progress of the "Meng Ma" game and the "Noah's Ark" project. Fan Xiao Xiao had to resort to desperate measures and prepared to hold a press conference, intending to disguise the lighthouse system as "Noah's Ark" to deceive the public.
Jiang Bo had been fond of makeup since he was young, but now he was forced to give up this profession. He was alone, painting on the wall, while his mind was filled with thoughts of Fan Xiao Xiao begging him to take the blame. It turned out that Fan Xiao Xiao was under investigation, and she needed Jiang Bo's help.
Upon seeing the online comments, Yue Ningchuan knew that Qi Lian had exposed these matters. She deliberately went to the hospital to find Jiang Xiao Yuan, hoping she could convince Qi Lian not to investigate further, as Jiang Bo would be in great danger. At the same time, she informed Jiang Xiao Yuan that Jiang Bo had been accumulating strength to break free from Fan Xiao Xiao's control. That's why he had revealed their relationship earlier, putting himself at a disadvantage.
Realizing that Jiang Bo had indeed helped her and not wanting him to get into trouble, Jiang Xiao Yuan approached Qi Lian for discussion. However, Qi Lian already had evidence showing that Jiang Bo's background was not simple. He was not Fan Xiao Xiao's biological son but was adopted by her and her first husband. Later, it was discovered that he had fatally stabbed his adoptive father at home. Due to being diagnosed with mental issues and enduring long-term domestic violence, it was eventually ruled as justifiable self-defense.
Jiang Bo spent four years in a mental hospital and returned as a troubled youth, stumbling through life. Qi Lian received a message from Professor Lu, revealing that someone who knew Noah was still alive. Qi Lian hurried to meet them and learned that Noah had died five years ago. The research data on the lighthouse system he had been studying became incomplete due to a car accident. Afterwards, Fan Xiao Xiao used the lighthouse system to change her identity and became "Noah's Ark." Qi Lian had a gut feeling that something was not right, as it couldn't explain how Fan Xiao Xiao obtained information that even the core members were unaware of.
Qi Lian knew that Noah's Chinese name was Xu Jing Yang, confirming their memory was correct. Overwhelmed with sadness, they shed tears for someone they had investigated for years but could never see again. Qi Lian became particularly worried when they couldn't contact Jiang Bo and took the opportunity of an interview to bring Jiang Xiao Yuan to Fan Xiao Xiao's house. Fan Xiao Xiao immediately ordered them to leave, but Qi Lian recorded the conversation, revealing their speculation that Fan Xiao Xiao was responsible for the murder case when Jiang Bo was ten years old. This forced Fan Xiao Xiao to let Jiang Xiao Yuan meet Jiang Bo.
