Episode 22 recap: "All the trouble was caused by the emergency contacts.
When Fan Zhong Ju disappeared, everyone went to report it to the officials. However, when asked about information regarding Fan Zhong Ju, they knew nothing. Yu Huan, in her anxiety, explained incoherently to the officials. Later, when everyone returned home to console Yu Huan, it was speculated that Fan Zhong Ju might have just gone out to play. The officials' subordinates mentioned that a group of local young people had been attacked in another city and were seriously injured.
At night, Fan Zhong Ju walked alone on the street and suddenly saw a figure following him. He turned around and was frightened to faint. Xie Quan Jia and the others hurried to the local government office to report the incident, stating that their friend had gone missing. The official inquired if Fan Zhong Ju had any enemies, but Yu Huan's explanation was incoherent. The official made a rough guess and concluded that it was another case of someone being secretly attacked.
Everyone returned home and waited for news. At that moment, a reporter arrived to interview them, but Yu Huan was mentally disturbed. Xie Quan Jia suggested that they think about any anomalies before Fan Zhong Ju's disappearance. She unintentionally recalled a previous official who came to collect information on mobile populations, claiming to protect them and specifically asking for their emergency contacts to be embroidered on their clothes. Fan Zhong Ju had embroidered his own name.
The reporter, seeking sensationalism, exaggerated the disappearance of Fan Zhong Ju and presented his account book. Guo Dong Li remembered that Fan Zhong Ju had bumped into him at Wanli Tower, and at that time, Fan Zhong Ju was feeling down and suspected that Yu Huan no longer loved him but had developed feelings for someone else.
Fan Zhong Ju whispered to Guo Dong Li that her emergency contact person turned out not to be herself, and yet without hesitation, she wrote her own name. Guo Dong Li didn't think it was a big deal and advised him not to overthink. After hearing this, everyone realized that the reason for Fan Zhong Ju's disappearance was because of Yu Huan.
Yu Huan regarded Ren Shu as her first emergency contact, considering her as a treasure. However, Ren Shu filled in someone else's name, which deeply hurt Yu Huan. At that time, she felt wronged in front of Fan Zhong Ju, and he was also deeply hurt, hoping that Yu Huan would change her first emergency contact to his name."
Ren Shu was involved for no reason. At that time, considering that Xie Quan Jia was the owner of the house and a local resident, it seemed most appropriate to write her as the emergency contact. Xie Quan Jia thought that Ren Shu had the fewest letters in her name, making it easier to embroider. However, Ren Shu advised Xie Quan Jia to write Guo Chuan's name. After careful consideration, Xie Quan Jia wrote the name Liu Lang, who was also skilled in martial arts and could protect himself better than Guo Chuan.
Liu Lang claimed that his emergency contact person was Li Yongjun. After all, they were all part of the martial arts community, and if something unexpected happened, Li Yongjun could take care of his body. Xie Quan Jia felt sad and wondered if the enemies would follow the thread and find Li Yongjun, potentially killing him as well. Guo Chuan recalled the last time he saw Fan Zhong Ju. Fan Zhong Ju wanted to see his emergency contact person, but to protect his privacy, Guo Chuan did not show it to him. However, he unintentionally revealed all his secrets. Guo Chuan mentioned that Xiao Wangye (Little Prince) was his emergency contact person, as he had both status and position in case something happened to him.
Fan Zhong Ju felt that he had no status and was not being taken seriously by everyone, which made him leave in distress. The argument among the group escalated. The official arrived to resolve the conflict and asked them if they remembered any clues. Liu Lang recalled that in the evening, Fan Zhong Ju went to the government office to deliver the account book but never returned.
Just as they were about to go to the government office to find Fan Zhong Ju, another official urgently reported that a young person had captured the culprit last night, but due to severe injuries, the person was lying in a clinic with no emergency contact person. They only knew that the person lived in the Li residence, and they speculated it could be Fan Zhong Ju. Xie Quan Jia hurriedly went with the others to the clinic, while Guo Chuan asked the official to return the account book to change Xie Quan Jia's name as the emergency contact person.
Yu Huan leaned beside the person entwined in ribbons and apologized to him, swearing that she would only marry him. However, when the person explained that he wasn't Fan Zhong Ju due to his severe injuries, the others couldn't hear clearly and still believed that Fan Zhong Ju had lost his ability to speak. Just as the reporter was about to officiate the wedding ceremony, Fan Zhong Ju walked in from the next room and expressed his willingness to marry Yu Huan.
It turned out that Fan Zhong Ju had encountered this person that night and mistakenly thought he was the culprit. In reality, the person just had a fierce appearance and had been longing for a friend. As Fan Zhong Ju sympathized with him, they started chatting, and through their conversation, Fan Zhong Ju learned about the person's unfortunate experiences. As they talked more, the person became scared and accidentally bumped into a vehicle while trying to escape, leading to his stay in the clinic.
In a twist of fate, Fan Zhong Ju discovered Yu Huan's feelings for him. The next day, Liu Lang acted out a scene of being kidnapped by the group, hoping that when he wasn't around, they could protect themselves. After this incident, Xie Quan Jia embroidered the names of everyone, and it turned out that Liu Lang's friend, Li Yongjun, was actually a dog.
