Episode 18 recap: Luo Jing was still struggling to accept the idea that her husband had died by suicide

She had doubts and suspicions about the circumstances surrounding his death, and she wanted to gather more information to understand the truth After being informed by Qian Qi about the situation, she decided to visit Zheng Han Jiang in the hope of obtaining some insights from him

Luo Jing arrived at Zheng Han Jiang's place and engaged in a conversation with him. She expressed her concerns and shared her doubts about her husband's alleged suicide, emphasizing that she couldn't believe he would take such a drastic step. Luo Jing believed that there might be more to the story and hoped that Zheng Han Jiang could shed some light on the matter.

Zheng Han Jiang, understanding Luo Jing's pain and skepticism, decided to be honest with her. He revealed that although he initially had reservations, he had started to question the events surrounding Wang Wu's death. The sudden departure of Qian Qi right after the incident and the information about his involvement in multiple industries had raised suspicions in his mind as well.

Zheng Han Jiang disclosed to Luo Jing that he had confronted Qian Qi about his potential connection to Wang Wu's death. However, Qian Qi vehemently denied any involvement and insisted on his innocence. Zheng Han Jiang expressed his dilemma, torn between his loyalty to his good friend Qian Qi and the growing doubts about his innocence.

Luo Jing listened attentively to Zheng Han Jiang's account and appreciated his honesty. She shared her own observations and the doubts she had regarding her husband's state of mind leading up to his death. They both agreed that there were inconsistencies in the circumstances, and they needed to dig deeper to uncover the truth.

Realizing the gravity of the situation and the importance of finding justice for Wang Wu, Zheng Han Jiang decided to cooperate fully with Luo Jing. They agreed to join forces and conduct their own investigation to uncover any hidden motives or potential suspects involved in Wang Wu's death.

From that point forward, Zheng Han Jiang and Luo Jing worked together, gathering evidence, interviewing relevant individuals, and exploring different leads. They faced various challenges along the way, encountering resistance and threats from unknown forces who seemed determined to keep the truth hidden.

Driven by their determination and the desire for justice, Zheng Han Jiang and Luo Jing embarked on a journey that would not only reveal the truth about Wang Wu's death but also uncover a web of corruption and deception that extended far beyond their initial expectations.

Zheng Han Jiang currently doesn't have solid evidence in his hands, so the only thing he can do is ask Luo Jing to wait a little longer. Zheng Han Jiang assures her that he will investigate the truth of the matter thoroughly since Wang Wu trusted him enough to write him a letter. He then suggests that Luo Jing go home and look for anything related to Wang Wu, as there might be important secrets hidden within those belongings.

Xiao Xue, lying in bed, wishes for Zheng Han Jiang to take a well-deserved vacation so that the whole family can go on a trip. However, Zheng Han Jiang is still busy with work and unable to free himself from his responsibilities. Xiao Xue looks at Zheng Han Jiang with a hint of reluctance in her heart.

The next morning, the first thing Xiao Xue does upon waking up is to embrace her husband. Her emotions have been extremely unstable these days, and all she wants now is to cherish every moment with her husband and daughter. Zheng Han Jiang receives a call from Luo Jing, informing him that she has something to give him. He hurriedly goes to her house, where Luo Jing has sold all the furniture in the room to avoid missing her husband. Initially, her husband had asked her to take care of selling the house they owned, but before Luo Jing could do so, the incident occurred. Therefore, she hands over the only key to Zheng Han Jiang.

Afterward, Zheng Han Jiang, accompanied by Zhu Tian Cai, goes to the Nanwa Mountain Waste Treatment Plant. In the vicinity, they also spot an elderly man named Qu, whom Zhu Tian Cai recognizes. Zheng Han Jiang follows the old man back home, and the old man hands him some videos from Zheng Han Jiang's own phone.

It turns out that many people in the village have succumbed to cancer in recent years, and their deaths have been mysterious. Moreover, the village has significantly fewer residents now, and even during holidays, strange incidents have occurred. Zheng Han Jiang takes a water sample from the river in the area to conduct further testing. The river serves as the village's water source but is covered in a large amount of garbage.

Zheng Han Jiang then visits a nearby phosphate ore processing plant and inspects their pollution pool. Zhu Tian Cai claims that the environmental protection measures are in place, and there should be no issues with unauthorized discharge. From the workers, Zheng Han Jiang learns that several of them have also been diagnosed with cancer, but they consider it a normal occurrence. Before leaving, Zheng Han Jiang takes some samples of the wastewater with Zhu Tian Cai.
