Episode 20 recap: Find out the reason for Gu Zhiyao's assassination.
Qian Sanshao tied up Gu Zhiyao. When Shen Jinmo discovered that Gu Zhiyao was missing, he went to find Bai Xiaoyue. Upon learning that Gu Zhiyao had been kidnapped and knowing that Qian Sanshao was behind it, Bai Xiaoyue took Shen Jinmo with her to confront Qian Sanshao. Wu Degui also learned that Qian Sanshao had tied up Gu Zhiyao and was pleased because once Qian Sanshao killed Gu Zhiyao, the conflict between these individuals would be resolved.
On Qian Sanshao's side, the plan was to extract Gu Zhiyao's blood. However, Gu Zhiyao was terrified, and Shen Jinmo and Bai Xiaoyue arrived in the room together. At that time, Wu Degui, who had been sent by Qian Sanshao, was eavesdropping outside. After seeing the spy leave, he criticized Qian Sanshao. It turned out that Qian Sanshao intended to use the blood for employment purposes, which is why he needed Gu Zhiyao's blood.
After Shen Jinmo finished bandaging Gu Zhiyao's wound, he followed the spy sent by Wu Degui. Gu Zhiyao also learned that Bai Xiaoyue and Shen Jinmo were biological brothers. Qian Sanshao told the two that once Shen Jinmo returned from tracking the spy, they would know who had assassinated Gu Zhiyao. Shen Jinmo discovered that it was because Gu Zhiyao had helped with disaster relief and replenished the national treasury that she had become a target. Therefore, Shen Jinmo was afraid that Gu Zhiyao would also be in danger. Since Shen Jinmo believed he had failed to protect his family in the past, he didn't want Gu Zhiyao to suffer the same fate. While Shen Jinmo was hesitating, someone suddenly blocked his way.
