Episode 9 recap: Jiang Jie and Li Nai encountered a setup.
During the team-building activity organized by Chun Cheng, they were playing a murder mystery game. After Jiang Jie and Li Nai got off the car, they unexpectedly found Jiang Xiu and Cui Can already waiting for them. Jiang Jie was unhappy with Jiang Xiu and Cui Can's presence. During the murder mystery game, according to the plot, Jiang Jie and Li Nai were in the same room. When Jiang Jie woke up and saw that Li Nai was still asleep, he couldn't resist kissing her. At that moment, Jiang Xiu directly started explaining the rules of the game to the others. After everyone listened to the instructions, they started following them. The game continued, and each person acted according to their true thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Li Nai suddenly brought up the idea of who everyone secretly liked, which shocked the others. Jiang Jie hesitated when this happened. As he was about to point to someone, he glanced at the watch on the side, reminding everyone about the issue of time. Jiang Xiu, who was sitting beside him, saw this and directly asked Li Nai what role she was playing. However, in that situation, Li Nai didn't continue to play along.
When they all started playing the game, Li Nai dressed up in ancient costume and prepared to meet someone involved in the game. However, when she gave the secret signal, she turned around and found it was Jiang Jie. Jiang Xu Yang's father, who was in the room, overheard what Jiang Jie and Jiang Xiu had done and angrily scolded the others nearby. At that moment, he continued to warn his son to be careful in his actions, otherwise the two people across from them would team up to kick them out. The father got angrier and even planned to create a spectacle for the Jiang Jie and the others who were still team-building.
When Li Nai and Jiang Jie finally met, they discovered a couple's notebook. They continued to interact according to the script. Soon, Jiang Xiu appeared on the scene and started causing trouble. Jiang Xiu also continued to chase after her brother, asking if he liked Li Nai. However, at that moment, he continued to remind his sister not to overthink things.
When evening came, Jiang Jie took the opportunity when no one was around and secretly took the earrings. He went to find Li Nai and explained to her that it was part of a mission. After he finished explaining everything, without hesitation, he helped her carefully put on the earrings. Before leaving, he didn't forget to bid her goodnight with his own identity. The two went their separate ways, and Li Nai heard her phone ring, reminding her of the call from her father, so she closed the door again.
Unexpectedly, later in the day, the butler delivered some bad news, informing everyone about an incident involving their master. When he gathered everyone and made a dramatic announcement, he stated that the murderer was among them. Upon hearing this, Jiang Jie immediately went forward to examine the body, following the instructions of the butler, ready to present evidence of his absence.
As they sat down, Jiang Jie recounted his activities from the previous night, but he couldn't recall the specific times. Li Nai, who was beside him, took the initiative to vouch for him and mentioned the earrings he had given her. Afterwards, everyone started to come up with their own alibis, each person trying to prove their innocence. In that moment, everyone began to speculate on who the murderer could be.
The composed butler, observing the scene, calmly suggested that two people should form pairs and go outside to search for clues. After going out, Li Nai continued to team up with Jiang Jie to investigate outside. Seeing that he couldn't recognize the direction, Li Nai began to recall the things that happened in the orphanage when she was young. She vowed to stand by him and overcome the difficulties together.
The two assisted each other and successfully found a passage to investigate further. However, as they were about to leave to gather more information, they suddenly discovered that the exit was blocked by someone. Even their phones suddenly ran out of battery. They had no choice but to stay in the passage and wait for the next turn of events.
Due to the surrounding environment, Li Nai grew physically weak and collapsed on one side. Meanwhile, Jiang Xiu, who was on the other side, confronted their second uncle upon learning about the disappearance of her brother. Upon hearing about the cellar, she rushed there immediately, but the people there didn't show any reaction. Jiang Jie disregarded everything and kissed her on the spot.
