Episode 11 recap: Yan Qi insisted on catching Feng Qiwu.
Yan Qi insisted on catching Feng Qiwu.As soon as Chao San slammed the table, he wanted to investigate the case. Then everyone was trapped in Maiji Restaurant. Yan Qi and Guo Da Lu openly expressed their desire to see how Chao San would handle the case. Then Chao San turned his attention to the easily bullied Mai Laoguang.
Chao San directly asked Mai Laoguang's wife if they had lived together for eight years, and if she had noticed anything unusual about Mai Laoguang during that time. Zhang Cuiyun urged Chao San to speak directly, and Chao San didn't hide his belief that Mai Laoguang was Feng Qiwu. Zhang Cuiyun laughed upon hearing this because in her eyes, Mai Laoguang was a useless person and couldn't possibly be the notorious thief Feng Qiwu. Chao San bluntly stated that Feng Qiwu could disguise himself in any way. He then asked how the two of them had met and why they were separated, suggesting that they were collaborating in running the restaurant while pretending to be estranged. Zhang Cuiyun didn't want to explain their personal matters in detail, but Mai Xiaoya, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up and revealed that the relationship between her godfather and godmother was not good, but her godfather had always had feelings for her godmother. She warned Chao San not to pry into other people's privacy using the case as an excuse. As they spoke, Mai Laoguang burst into tears.
Through questioning, they learned that Mai Laoguang had recalled some events from eight years ago. Zhang Cuiyun was extremely disgusted, but Chao San insisted that Mai Laoguang speak out. Mai Xiaoya seemed to remember something as well. Eight years ago, when Mai Xiaoya, who had nowhere to go, climbed onto the roof of Mai Laoguang's house, she happened to encounter Zhang Cuiyun. Now she realized that her godmother was actually fleeing from a marriage at that time, and Mai Laoguang nodded repeatedly. Zhang Cuiyun knew that their family secrets should not be exposed, so she began to scold Mai Xiaoya, but to her surprise, Mai Xiaoya also became angry and said that she didn't want to be adopted by Mai Laoguang and Zhang Cuiyun. She even fantasized about becoming an apprentice to Feng Qiwu if she hadn't been adopted. She thought she would have had a different and carefree life. Hearing Mai Xiaoya finally express the thoughts she had kept hidden for so long, Mai Laoguang felt deeply hurt. However, in Mai Xiaoya's eyes, her godfather and godmother had treated her as a bridge to maintain their relationship, and she felt very wronged. Yan Qi couldn't help but sigh at the dysfunctional family that had lasted for so long. Guo Da Lu lamented that Chao San was bullying Mai Laoguang. At this point, Chao San insisted that even if Mai Laoguang wasn't Feng Qiwu, he must have been harboring Feng Qiwu. Yan Qi and Guo Da Lu couldn't sit still anymore and stood up to confront Chao San. Chao San got angry and told them to mind their own business, and then the two of them went upstairs.
Guo Da Lu and Yan Qi still believed they should help Mai Laoguang seek justice. Guo Da Lu came up with an idea, but it required Mai Laoguang's cooperation. Coincidentally, Mai Laoguang came in, and Guo Da Lu explained his plan to make Mai Laoguang disguise himself as Feng Qiwu and launch a surprise attack on Chao San. Eventually, they would appeal to reason and emotions, and Mai Laoguang agreed to the plan.
Wang Dong came with Hong Niang Zi to find Yan Qi and Guo Da Lu, but they were stopped at the door by Chao San's men. They also learned about the anonymous letter pointing to Fugui Mountain Villa. Hong Niang Zi understood that these were all plots of the Cold Special Envoy! The most important thing now was to get Yan Qi and Guo Da Lu out and prevent them from causing trouble.
In the evening, the Cold Special Envoy planned to inform Chao San of his plan. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out, he was mistaken for Mai Laoguang by Yan Qi and Guo Da Lu. They immediately dragged him along to execute their plan. When the real Mai Laoguang appeared, he was completely bewildered. After Yan Qi and Guo Da Lu finished, they wanted to let "Mai Laoguang" leave, but then they discovered that he had martial arts skills and realized he wasn't Mai Laoguang! After losing track of him, they encountered Wang Dong, who bluntly stated that the person was likely the Cold Special Envoy. However, Yan Qi and Guo Da Lu insisted on going back! While the Cold Special Envoy was fleeing, he even ran into Zhang Cuiyun, who mistook him for Feng Qiwu. The Cold Special Envoy was completely stunned but quickly changed clothes and headed to the restaurant.
When Chao San woke up, he thought Feng Qiwu had truly appeared and was scared half to death. Yan Qi and Guo Da Lu poured a bunch of dirty water on him to provide evidence for Chao San. Fortunately, Chao San didn't pursue the matter and directly announced that Feng Qiwu had escaped outside. Then he disbanded his team and left. However, Yan Qi and Guo Da Lu didn't leave. They held Mai Laoguang back, saying they still had something to say.
After Wang Dong returned and told Hong Niang Zi that the two of them didn't want to come back, Hong Niang Zi suggested pretending to be the people they were after and luring them back to the villa first. Yan Qi and Mai Laoguang talked about their belief that Feng Qiwu and Maiji Restaurant were connected. Out of a sense of detective duty, Yan Qi hoped to catch Feng Qiwu. Zhang Cuiyun overheard their conversation at the door and repeatedly denied it, stating that they shouldn't involve Mai Laoguang. In Mai Laoguang's mind, he muttered that the person might be the hero Zhang Cuiyun had been longing for!
