Episode 10 recap: Chao San went to McDonald's Restaurant to investigate Fengqi Wu.
The town of Ping'an was bustling with people, appearing peaceful and safe. This was precisely why Chao San requested to be transferred here as a constable. He just wanted to live a simple and stable life and retire peacefully. Although Wu Er and Mei Liu didn't understand Chao San's thoughts, they accepted the situation and thought about what they should do as new officials. Chao San then assigned them a task: to investigate the entire town of Ping'an within three days, especially identifying who was difficult to provoke and who could be bullied. Wu Er and Mei Liu were pleased to hear this since it was their area of expertise!
On Wang Dong's side, he received a letter from his father, stating that the court had sent someone to investigate illegal activities in the martial world. His father warned Wang Dong not to get involved in any trouble and avoid falling into someone's trap! At this time, the other three individuals returned, and Wang Dong held a meeting with them to find out what they had been up to recently. To his surprise, none of them were doing anything productive. Wang Dong was so frustrated that he passed out. Unable to bring up his father's letter, he insisted that they must be honest and low-key from now on. However, the three individuals couldn't accept this and openly declared their intentions to engage in chivalrous acts. Wang Dong, in an attempt to assert his authority as the young master of the estate, threatened to have them clean the estate the next day. When the three individuals still refused to comply, Wang Dong resorted to using their fathers as a scare tactic. However, instead of intimidating them, it only provoked Lin Tai Ping's defiance. Lin Tai Ping immediately quit on the spot, and Yan Qi felt that Wang Dong's actions were difficult to accept. As a result, Yan Qi went after Lin Tai Ping, leaving Wang Dong to decide whether Guo Da Lu should accompany him. Guo Da Lu openly declared that he would choose Wang Dong, but now he also had to go after Lin Tai Ping. Later, Lin Tai Ping ran to Hong Niang Zi to complain. Hong Niang Zi criticized Wang Dong's methods but insisted that running away wouldn't solve the problem. Lin Tai Ping insisted on staying for a few days, hoping that Hong Niang Zi wouldn't kick him out. He promised to settle his debts when he returned. Hong Niang Zi didn't force the issue.
Wang Dong received another letter from his father, stating that the envoy sent by the court was named Leng and that they had a previous conflict. Wang Dong was advised to be cautious, and they would discuss everything when they met. Wang Dong worried even more when he considered the current situation. Little did he know that the envoy named Leng had already quietly arrived in Ping'an Town and was planning something!
At Mai Ji Restaurant, Mai Laoguang and Zhang Cuiyun got into an argument because Zhang Cuiyun shouted the name of a great hero in her dream. Mai Xiaoya was caught in the middle, not knowing whether to intervene or not. In the end, she watched as the two fought. Mai Laoguang even mentioned divorcing his wife, which made Zhang Cuiyun feel wronged. She admitted that she did like someone before they got married, but now she had made up her mind to live a good life. Zhang Cuiyun couldn't express her grievances and both of them parted ways. In her heart, Zhang Cuiyun cursed Fengqi Wu as a heart-stealing thief. At the same time, Mai Laoguang reminisced about how carefree he was when he was Fengqi Wu ten years ago. Now, he had become like this. Poor Zhang Cuiyun had no idea that Mai Laoguang was actually Fengqi Wu from ten years ago! With these thoughts, Mai Laoguang decided to become Fengqi Wu once again!
The next morning, Mai Laoguang went out to buy groceries and was surprised to see many scattered items on the street. Upon inquiring, he found out that Fengqi Wu had committed another crime. Poor Mai Laoguang recalled that he had hesitated but ultimately decided not to do it last night. This was not his doing! Meanwhile, Envoy Leng arrived at Mai Ji Restaurant and proudly told his entourage about how he used Fengqi Wu to bring down the Fugui Mountain Villa. He then lodged at Mai Ji Restaurant.
At that moment, Chao San received a disguised letter from Envoy Leng. After reasoning it through, Chao San decided to frame the seemingly easy-to-bully Mai Laoguang for Fengqi Wu's crimes! Envoy Leng was bewildered when he saw Chao San coming to investigate at Mai Ji Restaurant, as according to the plan, he was supposed to go to Fugui Mountain Villa. Next, Chao San began to encircle the restaurant, and Envoy Leng was also held captive.
Yan Qi and Guo Da Lu arrived shortly after, followed by Wang Dong, but he was scolded and sent away. As Wang Dong looked back before leaving, he noticed Envoy Leng with the surname Leng! However, the restaurant was surrounded, and upon learning the situation, Yan Qi realized that Chao San was up to no good. He spoke up for Mai Laoguang. Chao San couldn't control himself and drew his sword, declaring that he would hold a trial!
