Episode 2 recap: Shen Zhen trapped in a sea of fire.
When Zhou Yushi took over the entire case, he didn't expect that there was someone in his mind who was planning to attack the Lord Shangshu. He arrived at the scene in a timely manner and subdued the murderer. Unexpectedly, before the perpetrator committed suicide, he confessed everything. At this moment, Shen Ran suddenly ran to the door to visit her father, but was stopped by the guards. When Zhou Yushi arrived at the scene, she calmly faced everything and even prepared to bring food to her father. However, at that moment, the guards firmly refused to let him through. Unexpectedly, when Shen Ran was disappointed, the guards offered to let him in through a back door.
After Shen Zhen returned to his room, he took out his mother's broken bracelet and pieced it together. He also suddenly remembered what his father had told him, believing that there must be something hidden in the money house. In this situation, he was ready to rush over there. However, he was immediately surrounded by Lu Shi Yan and the people around him, who had no intention of letting him leave. After failing to obtain anything, he left the scene alone.
After seeing Shen Zhen leave, without hesitation, he continued to run into the money house, intending to find his father's belongings. However, their every move was quickly noticed by people outside. They took the items from locker number eight and set a fire inside the money house. The people trapped inside were still thinking about the things left by their father when the criminals prepared to kill them. Upon hearing the cries for help, Lu Shi Yan rushed in without hesitation, covered in a blanket, and successfully rescued the people. After saving them, he continued to question them about their past actions.
Upon seeing the person in front of her, Shen Zhen knew that the only person she could rely on at the moment was him. She directly mentioned the scent of the sachet she smelled on her uncle at that time, confirming that it was him. She planned to continue pretending to investigate clues with her aunt. Upon hearing this, Lu Shi Yan did not continue to stop her and even gave her something that could be used as a secret signal before she left. In this situation, he still conducted a verification and discovered that his own heart felt a great pain when she cried.
When Shen Zhen returned to her aunt's place, she confirmed that her uncle was the one who took the items. She continued to act as if she was wronged and carried out her plan in her mind. While taking a bath, she voluntarily revealed some clues to her aunt and pretended to seek her assistance in finding her father's belongings.
Unexpectedly, after bathing and changing clothes, the chamberlain went directly into the room and started to make inappropriate advances towards Shen Zhen. He even mentioned the case involving her father and revealed that the evidence was hidden in her uncle's possession. Upon hearing this, Shen Zhen became frightened again. She took advantage of the moment when he was drinking and knocked him unconscious, intending to call for help. However, at that moment, he suddenly woke up and started to search for people throughout the courtyard. Even her uncle and aunt standing nearby had no intention of protecting her and readily handed her over to him. Just as the person in front of her was about to make another move, Lu Shi Yan suddenly appeared in the room and knocked him down, personally restraining the person and continuing to investigate the entire mansion. In this situation, the person standing beside him suddenly began to shed tears. Lu Shi Yan became emotional and wiped the person's tears with his own hands, asking her not to cry. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhen still didn't grasp the situation before her and showed no sign of stopping. This caused the person beside her to feel pain again, and she immediately collapsed to the ground unconscious.
