Episode 21 recap: Secretary Yan questioned Qian Qi again because of the delivery order.

After their daughter fell asleep, the couple finally had their own time to chat. Xiao Xue complained that Zheng Han Jiang never had time to dance with her. Everyone else was dancing as couples, but she was always dancing with the teacher alone. Xiao Xue said she wanted to do something interesting, and Zheng Han Jiang promised to take a leave soon so that they could go on a family trip.

The next day, Zheng Han Jiang went to see Secretary Yan first and handed him the documents, asking him to read them immediately. At that moment, Liu Geng Ye came over and informed Zheng Han Jiang of the good news that the foreigners at the Wetland Hotel requested an immediate renegotiation. Thanks to Zheng Han Jiang's discovery of some details, Liu Geng Ye was very happy and wasted no time in finding him.

Secretary Yan complained on the side, saying that they didn't treat this place as the Commission for Discipline Inspection office at all. Just then, Zhu Tian Cai also arrived, and the three of them discussed the matters of the phosphorus mine. They were having a lively conversation, but Secretary Yan told them to leave quickly and not disturb him. After reading the documents, Secretary Yan also felt that Zheng Han Jiang was too careless to leave such important files at home overnight.

The translated document was the delivery document for scrap steel, and although all the procedures seemed to be effective, there were significant problems in it because the prices were extremely low. Now Wang Wu's death may be closely related to this matter, but it couldn't be resolved by just the two of them alone. Liu Geng Ye was still on stage, hosting the opening ceremony of the signing ceremony. They were all very happy because this time it could be said to be successful, and Liu Geng Ye's Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were considered accomplished.

Liao Yu Zheng called Zheng Han Jiang to the school playground for a chat. Although excessive fluoride was found in the urine of workers and villagers, there was currently no evidence to prove a connection between the people's illnesses and fluoride leakage. Zheng Han Jiang felt that the relocation of the landfill would take too much time, so the priority was to seal off the leakage points as soon as possible.

However, Zheng Han Jiang realized that it wasn't a good decision to choose the landfill in Nanwa Mountain since the geographical environment there made it prone to garbage leakage. It was now a competition between ecological civilization and industrial civilization. Because there were very few surgeries being performed in the hospital, even though Xiao Xue was on vacation, she was called back.

Before the surgery, Xiao Xue was still somewhat worried because her hand hadn't fully recovered.

During the surgery, Xiao Xue indeed encountered problems. Her hand kept trembling, almost causing a medical accident. Afterwards, Xiao Xue instructed her subordinates to inform the hospital not to schedule any more surgeries for her.

Zheng Han Jiang and Zhu Tian Cai's main task now was to seal the gaps in the garbage trucks. Zheng Han Jiang handed the documents to Zhu Tian Cai and emphasized the need for confidentiality. Zhu Tian Cai was so scared when he saw the documents that he sat down on a chair.

Soon, Su Na arrived, and Zheng Han Jiang quickly asked Zhu Tian Cai to hide the materials, but Su Na still caught a glimpse of them. Su Na didn't insist on seeing them but complained that Zheng Han Jiang never provided her with firsthand information.

Su Na was curious about the documents in Zhu Tian Cai's hands, but Zheng Han Jiang said he couldn't reveal them for now. Su Na remarked that no matter what, she would eventually find out. Zheng Han Jiang also inquired if Zhu Tian Cai knew anyone at the Maritime Bureau, as this matter couldn't be easily resolved at the moment.

Zheng Han Jiang reported the investigation findings to the municipal party leaders. The waste treatment plant and the phosphorus mine had already caused significant harm to workers and villagers. However, relocating the factories would require a substantial amount of manpower and financial resources. Liao Yu Zheng insisted that the interests of the people must be prioritized.

After the meeting, Liao Yu Zheng kept Zheng Han Jiang in the office. Zheng Han Jiang handed the documents to Liao Yu Zheng, revealing that the steel was contaminated with nuclear waste, which explained its extremely low price. Wang Wu certainly knew the severity of the situation, but it was something he couldn't bear alone.

Wang Wu hadn't anticipated that the situation would escalate to this extent, and Qian Qi was still unwilling to admit any connection. However, if this batch of steel entered the country, it would pose an even greater crisis. Xiao Xue disclosed the cause of her illness to her subordinates—she was actually suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Her subordinates felt regretful, but Xiao Xue accepted the situation with equanimity.

Xiao Xue actually felt content being able to do things she enjoyed. Soon, Qian Qi was also called in for questioning, and Director Zhao presented the delivery order discovered from Wang Wu to interrogate Qian Qi. However, Qian Qi refused to admit any connection between Wang Wu's death and himself. Just then, Zheng Han Jiang also arrived.
