Episode 23 recap: Fang Fei committed suicide.

Xue Zhi Hai not only didn't leave Jiang City, but also took the initiative to find Commander Qin. Commander Qin initially didn't want to deal with him, but agreed to meet after learning that he had important information. Qin Mengmeng was attentive to Xue Dong Feng, but Xue Dong Feng was preoccupied with something. At this moment, Xue Zhi Hai and his men rushed into the Xue residence, clearly with ill intentions. Qin Mengmeng immediately cursed Xue Zhi Hai and called him a dog. However, Xue Zhi Hai, acting on Commander Qin's orders, didn't fear Qin Mengmeng at all. He directly ordered his men to send her back to the Qin residence and instructed them to bring Ji Lian Yun down. But Ji Lian Yun was not in the Xue residence at all.

As it turns out, Xue Dong Feng had received information earlier that Xue Zhi Hai was not dead. Worried that things might change, he had Ji Lian Yun leave with the evidence to find his journalist friend and expose the matter, while he stayed behind to handle things. Xue Zhi Hai used a gun to force Xue Dong Feng to reveal Ji Lian Yun's whereabouts, but Xue Dong Feng chose to die rather than speak and was taken to the prison. Commander Qin had Xue Dong Feng tortured severely, hoping to make him talk, but Xue Dong Feng was determined not to yield and refused to let the evildoers go, even at the cost of losing everything. This made Commander Qin very angry, and he believed that he could find Ji Lian Yun. He got up and left.

Xue Zhi Hai learned that Fang Fei was detained and used a key to free her. However, Fang Fei asked him to hug her again. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fang Fei took the gun that Xue Zhi Hai had on his waist and pointed it at him. Considering everything she had done for Xue Zhi Hai over the years and his heartlessness, Fang Fei couldn't bring herself to kill him. Instead, she shot herself, and from then on, nobody in this world cared about Xue Zhi Hai.
