Episode 32 recap: Feng Guang Yun has been suspended.
Late at night, Wei Dai Qing showed up uninvited at Shi Jun Yu's house and started rummaging through the belongings. Despite Shi Jun Yu's repeated warnings that any issues could be addressed publicly at the board of directors' office the next day, Wei Dai Qing remained arrogant. He picked up a robe from the sofa and asked Shi Jun Yu if it had any connection to the tailor shop owner. When Shi Jun Yu tried to call the security guard, Wei Dai Qing forcibly hung up the phone. Wei Dai Qing insisted that Shi Jun Yu was the one driving the car when they rescued Hua Zhen and Chen Hao earlier that day and claimed that he even fired shots at the rear of the vehicle. Now, Wei Dai Qing insisted on seeing the car driven by Shi Jun Yu.
Knowing that Wei Dai Qing wouldn't give up unless he saw the car, Shi Jun Yu calmly walked downstairs and took him to see the vehicle. The rear of the car was intact, without any signs of collision. Wei Dai Qing was surprised and could no longer press Shi Jun Yu for answers. Without any evidence, he had to give up.
As Shi Jun Yu walked up the stairs, she quietly watched Wei Dai Qing's movements through the curtains. Wei Dai Qing, still unwilling to let go, continued to touch the rear bumper of the car, trying to prove if it had been repainted to hide any evidence. When Chen Hao was feeling better, they used to watch the stars on the roof together with Hua Zhen and Luo Min. The vast and peaceful sky, adorned with stars, filled everything with vitality and longing. Hua Zhen's state of mind was very different from when he first started college. The period before dawn was the darkest, but they had confidence and strength to endure.
Three days before the smuggling ship left the port, Tong, a journalist, suddenly appeared at a book launch event and announced his investigation, which included the smuggling of military supplies. The Salvation Society directed the blame directly at Feng Guang Yun. Soon, reporters swarmed towards the Sixteenth Police Station, all eager to interview Feng Guang Yun and inquire about the details.
The streets were filled with protest demonstrations, and the public loudly condemned Feng Guang Yun's disgraceful behavior. Fearing the serious charge of smuggling military supplies, Feng Guang Yun panicked. He knew he was only running errands, how could he be involved in such a large-scale smuggling operation? Feng Guang Yun became more and more frightened and quickly went to his superior, Tan Shi Yuan, to seek advice on how to handle the situation. Tan Shi Yuan was a cunning old fox. He tried to appease Feng Guang Yun's emotions and suggested that he lay low for a while by suspending him to divert attention.
Although Feng Guang Yun knew he was being made a scapegoat, he had no other choice but to go home and wait for further news.
With only one day left before the smuggling ship departed from the port, Chen Hao changed the dressing on his wound. He told Hua Zhen that after careful consideration by the organization, they agreed to let Hua Zhen join them.
Upon hearing this news, Hua Zhen was thrilled. Finally, he could become someone like the teacher. Deng Mingyuan had once said that only by standing with the team could one do things beneficial to the country and the people. Thinking about the dangerous tasks they had to do in the coming days, Chen Hao and Hua Zhen advised Luo Min to go home first. Luo Min wanted to join them, but Chen Hao reassured her that to become someone like Shi Jun Yu, one must first obey orders.
Luo's father and Luo Qin had been worried at home. Their eldest daughter hadn't come home for several days and was now a wanted person. The atmosphere was tense. Suddenly, when they saw Luo Min return, they surrounded her with joy. Luo's father finally managed to eat a meal and could finally relax. Luo Min recounted her experiences of the past few days to her father, who had been worried about her safety. Now, Luo Min felt that her life was fulfilling, especially when she saw people like Chen Hao and Hua Zhen, who had ideals and ambitions. She became more determined about the path she had to take and looked forward to having a strong revolutionary belief like Chen Hao, no longer being lost or weakly hiding behind her father.
Luo's father knew that his children had grown up, and there were many things he couldn't stop. Just like when they were young, he could only revisit the feeling of protecting them. That night, the family happily took a family photo. Feng Guang Yun was removed from his post, fearing that his superiors would turn against him. He quietly took out a firearm and went to the seafood company to retrieve his pass. With the pass, he could escape to anywhere.
