Episode 2 recap: Zheng Han Jiang took over Wang Wu's job.

Just as Zheng Han Jiang was about to take a bite of hot noodles, the disciplinary committee officials came and took him away. Zheng Han Jiang asked his wife not to wait for him. It was the golden 24 hours for solving the case, so the disciplinary committee had to make good use of every minute to investigate the situation. They wanted to know why Wang Wu jumped into the river, but Zheng Han Jiang was also unclear about the situation.

The disciplinary committee handed all of Wang Wu's information to Zheng Han Jiang and kept questioning him. They had to give an account to the municipal committee tomorrow, so today he had to reveal all the information he knew. Zheng Han Jiang also mentioned that since Wang Wu left his official position, their contact had been very limited.

However, the disciplinary committee emphasized repeatedly that they had some evidence and were waiting for Zheng Han Jiang to confess voluntarily. But Zheng Han Jiang insisted that he really didn't know anything, and the other side was trying to blackmail him. Zheng Han Jiang didn't buy into it. At that moment, the disciplinary committee leader took out a note written by Wang Wu. It read, "Save Qi Jiang." This letter was found in Wang Wu's office and was determined to be from two months ago.

Zheng Han Jiang talked about what he did during every time period two months ago and said that everything he said could be investigated. However, Zheng Han Jiang also didn't know why Wang Wu committed suicide last night. Xiao Xue was waiting for Zheng Han Jiang at home in the morning, and she was very worried because she didn't know what had happened to Zheng Han Jiang.

The interrogation of Zheng Han Jiang continued until the next morning, and both of them were very tired. Luckily, Xiao Xue had put eye drops in Zheng Han Jiang's bag, and they had worked. Zheng Han Jiang was taken to see Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng knew that Zheng Han Jiang had been questioned by the disciplinary committee all night, so he prepared breakfast and then took out a stack of documents for Zheng Han Jiang to review.

Secretary He Jun, the provincial party secretary, also came. After reading the documents, Zheng Han Jiang was angry and said that the report was very biased and deviated from the data he had investigated. It was not that development couldn't be carried out in wetlands, but constructions could be done on wetlands as well. The purpose of Wang Cheng showing him the report was to find out if there were any inconsistencies because this report was going to be submitted to the central government.

Secretary Yan, the disciplinary committee leader, went through all the people related to Wang Wu once again. Liao Yu Zheng was also harassed by reporters. Secretary Yan told Liao Yu Zheng that he had focused all his attention on Zheng Han Jiang because he was the last person to see Wang Wu. Moreover, a letter left for Zheng Han Jiang was found in Wang Wu's office. Although it had only four words, it conveyed a lot of meaning.

After reading the report given by Wang Cheng, Zheng Han Jiang did not immediately give a response but said he needed to examine it carefully. Wang Cheng asked Zheng Han Jiang if he could take over Wang Wu's job right now.

Zheng Han Jiang also mentioned that environmental protection was a very challenging process. It was not easy to achieve both economic development and environmental protection at the same time.

Li Zi Ping and Liao Yu Zheng also asked Secretary Yan to resolve this matter as soon as possible. Before the two of them left, Secretary Yan told them that the Provincial Party Secretary He Jun and Wang Cheng had called for Zheng Han Jiang. Liao Yu Zheng was very surprised.

Now He Jun and Wang Cheng have handed over everything to Zheng Han Jiang, but Zheng Han Jiang is still reluctant to take over. However, he couldn't resist their mandatory request. He Jun also gave three reasons and conditions of his own, and expressed that they could be Zheng Han Jiang's strongest support, so he should go ahead and do it with a free hand.

For the sake of the people of Qi Jiang, Zheng Han Jiang was willing to accept this military order, but he still needed to digest some things on his own. Before Zheng Han Jiang left, Wang Cheng told him that he hoped the report he was writing was wrong. Wang Cheng called Liao Yu Zheng and also said that Zheng Han Jiang had been appointed. Liao Yu Zheng expressed a warm welcome on the surface, but deep down he was very unwilling.

Director Zhu Tian Cai of the Environmental Protection Bureau was stopped by the environmental media blogger Su Na as soon as he went out, wanting to interview him. Zhu Tian Cai also stated that Wang Wu would never make substantial mistakes. At first, Zhu Tian Cai thought he could take over Wang Wu's position, but then Su Na received a call saying that Zheng Han Jiang was going to replace Wang Wu. Zhu Tian Cai was very disappointed.

He even made an excuse of feeling unwell and took a leave of absence. He wouldn't attend Deputy Mayor Zheng Han Jiang's welcome reception. Zhu Tian Cai just couldn't accept why Zheng Han Jiang, who was parachuted in, took away his position. Zheng Han Jiang apologized to his daughter for not picking her up from school on time, and she forgave him.

Zheng Han Jiang also told Xiao Xue about his intention to become the Deputy Mayor. In fact, he had been working at the university all along and had very little contact with the political sphere. He actually wanted to hear words of encouragement from Xiao Xue. Wang Wu held a farewell ceremony, and Zheng Han Jiang and Xiao Xue went there together. Wang Wu's wife, Luo Jing, refused to sign the death certificate, believing that her husband was murdered.

Before leaving, Zheng Han Jiang was stopped by Luo Jing, who asked about the content of the letter Wang Wu had written to him. However, Zheng Han Jiang was unwilling to reveal it, and Luo Jing became somewhat distraught.
