Episode 22 recap: Ji Lian Yun seduced Chairman Deng.

Qin Mengmeng was planning to have Commander Qin kill Ji Lian Yun, so Xue Dong Feng approached her and mentioned his difficulties with military funds. However, Commander Qin seemed unwilling to help. Qin Mengmeng immediately wanted to find Commander Qin, but Xue Dong Feng quickly held her back, saying that he didn't want people to think he relied on women. That's why he hadn't been close to Qin Mengmeng before. If he could do some business like Commander Qin, it wouldn't be so difficult for him.

Upon hearing this from the person she loves, Qin Mengmeng immediately mentioned Chairman Deng. Xue Dong Feng expressed gratitude to Qin Mengmeng and then told Ji Lian Yun about this news, intending to have a conversation with Chairman Deng. Ji Lian Yun believed that Xue Dong Feng had no prior relationship with Chairman Deng and that Chairman Deng would never mention the opium trafficking. However, she knew that Chairman Deng had fallen for women several times due to his lustful nature. She decided to take a risk, though Xue Dong Feng disagreed. Ji Lian Yun insisted but promised not to let herself be taken advantage of.

Ji Lian Yun, using the alias Miss Qin, approached Chairman Deng. Prior to this, she had prepared the room and recorded Chairman Deng's words. When Chairman Deng saw Ji Lian Yun, he was instantly captivated. When Ji Lian Yun mentioned that her relationship with Qin Mengmeng was not ordinary and that she wanted to get involved in the most profitable business in Jiangcheng, Chairman Deng understood her intentions. He not only revealed his six to seven years of collaboration with Commander Qin but also expressed his desire to possess Ji Lian Yun.

Upon hearing Ji Lian Yun's cry for help, Xue Dong Feng rushed in and fought with Chairman Deng. Although Ji Lian Yun didn't suffer a major loss, Chairman Deng still took advantage of her to some extent. She felt wronged and tears streamed down her face. She hoped that after everything settled, she could go back and finish reading the unfinished books.
