Episode 2 recap: An explosion occurred at the Jiang Petrochemical Plant.
Xia Modong criticized Rao Bin for making such a confused decision. Rao Bin deeply regretted it and admitted his mistake to Xia Modong. Xia Modong said he was sorry to himself. Xia Modong quickly called everyone to run outside, but it was too late. The nitration waste exploded upon exposure to light, and the inspection team didn't have time to run far. The deafening explosion stunned everyone. Xia Modong, trying to come back to find Rao Bin, was knocked down by the shockwave. Luo Yuan woke up and saw that Xia Modong was unconscious. He anxiously performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her. Seeing that Xia Modong was in critical condition, Luo Yuan disregarded everything and performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on her. After some effort, Xia Modong finally responded.
Luo Yuan himself collapsed due to injuries. Geng Nian was having a conversation with Yang Yimu and others when village resident Lao Wu angrily revealed how Yang Yunsheng Chemical Plant discharged toxic water, destroying the villagers' fish ponds and polluting the water source. Yang Yimu's wife, Aiping, had a stillborn child, which was said to be caused by drinking contaminated water. Yang Yimu had contracted the fish ponds and took out a loan of 500,000 yuan, which was now wasted. He went to confront Yang Yunsheng but ended up being beaten by Yang Yunsheng's men. How can people live like this? Geng Nian recorded the villagers' words one by one, promising to carefully consider and handle the matter according to the law, but they needed to conduct an investigation.
At this time, the nearby police station received an alarm call. Geng Nian and Su Zhuo were told that the villagers were emotionally agitated, and it was all instigated by a person named Yang Yunchang. Consequently, the police took away Yang Yunsheng's younger brother, Yang Yunchang. Su Zhuo received a call from Ning Ni and learned that an explosion had occurred at the Jiang Petrochemical Plant. She hurriedly rushed over. Luo Yuan's throat was uncomfortable, his ears were ringing, and his ribs had been impacted. Xia Modong still hadn't regained consciousness.
This explosion accident resulted in a total of 76 injuries and one death. Rao Bin was the one who died. Luo Yuan felt heavy-hearted after hearing the news. He went to the morgue and saw Rao Bin lying alone there. Geng Nian hurriedly arrived, his wife Xu Fei working as a nurse here. She also knew Luo Yuan and learned that Geng Nian and Luo Yuan were now working together in the Intermediate Court without being informed.
Geng Nian came to see Luo Yuan. Since Luo Yuan hadn't recovered his hearing yet, he spoke loudly to Geng Nian.
He felt some regret. If he hadn't gone to the scene, perhaps this accident wouldn't have happened. Geng Nian advised him not to blame himself and said that it was Murphy's Law.
After the accident, the general manager of Jiang Petrochemical, Shi Lei, and Xin Yang from Tianyang Environmental Assessment Company were arrested. Chen Zhiqiang, the CEO of Fenghuangling Xiangfa Group, instructed the legal advisor to quickly sever the relationship between Jiang Petrochemical and the group. The legal advisor reassured Chen Zhiqiang. Lawyer Su Zhuo met with Geng Nian and Luo Yuan and communicated the situation of the Yang Yimu case that she had organized. After investigation, Su Zhuo discovered that there were connections between Yang Yimu's assault case, Jiang Petrochemical Plant, and Fenghuangling Xiangfa Group.
Chen Zhiqiang first made a name for himself in Geng Nian's hometown, Shang Hengtou Village, which is no longer suitable for human habitation. Geng Nian didn't respond after hearing this. Su Zhuo reminded him not to let the current Xia Hengtou Village become like Shang Hengtou Village. Luo Yuan felt uncomfortable with Su Zhuo's aggressive attitude and stopped her from continuing, believing that irrelevant matters should not be considered for now, as it would complicate the case and delay its resolution.
Su Zhuo was disappointed with Geng Nian and left them with the documents. After Xia Modong was discharged from the hospital, the students packed up Rao Bin's belongings and handed them to her. Rao Bin was once her most valued student, coming from a difficult family situation due to his father's long-term illness. She had recommended him to Xin Yang's Tianyang company, never expecting such a thing to happen.
In the evening, Geng Nian returned home unable to sleep. He started organizing the documents related to the case, recalling the circumstances of handling the Qixing Chemical Plant case years ago. Luo Yuan called him out because he could tell that Geng Nian was not in the right mood today. Luo Yuan told him not to dwell on Su Zhuo's words, as they were indeed very suggestive. He advised Geng Nian to filter out the irrelevant information.
Xia Modong found Su Zhuo and told her that she had visited Xin Yang. Xin Yang was now out on bail, and she said that Rao Bin had issued the environmental assessment report for Jiang Petrochemical because of money.
