Episode 14 recap: Hao Er was sentenced to six weeks of imprisonment.
Hao Er was sentenced to six weeks of imprisonment.Qi Qi came to the company to visit Qiu Zhi Bin. Qiu Zhi Bin said he was busy with the D-field project, and Ma Xiao Ling happened to come in to report. Qiu Zhi Bin asked her to tell Qi Qi about his recent schedule. However, Qi Qi was jealous that Qiu Zhi Bin had Ma Xiao Ling, a beautiful secretary, by his side all the time.
Qiu Zhi Bin made an excuse to have a meeting and quickly left with Ma Xiao Ling. The two of them went to have a meal, but Ma Xiao Ling was not happy. She asked Qiu Zhi Bin why he brought her out for a meal for no reason. Qiu Zhi Bin said that he had missed their appointment in Kuala Lumpur last time because of his grandfather's affairs, so he owed her a meal. Ma Xiao Ling said it was just a small matter, but Qiu Zhi Bin insisted that she was his woman, so it was not a small matter. Ma Xiao Ling felt a little better after hearing this and asked Qiu Zhi Bin about his relationship with Qi Qi. Qiu Zhi Bin said that he only interacted with Qi Qi because of the D-field project, but the most important thing was that he liked Ma Xiao Ling. Ma Xiao Ling blushed and felt happy after hearing this.
In a few days, Qiu Hao Er's case is going to be sentenced. He Mei Ying is very worried, but Qiu Hao Er comforts her. At this moment, Qiu Hao Er receives a call from Gao Jun. After they meet, Gao Jun asks Qiu Hao Er why he didn't expose Annie's lie when he knew it. Qiu Hao Er says he doesn't have evidence. They discuss the case for a while, and Qiu Hao Er tells Gao Jun that he will invite him for a drink when he comes out. Gao Jun agrees.
On the day of the trial, Qiu Shou Yi doesn't allow his family to go to the court for the sake of the family's reputation. The judgment is announced, and Qiu Hao Er is sentenced to six weeks of imprisonment. Qiu Hao Er immediately files an appeal. Qiu Hao Er and others search for a capable lawyer, but Qiu Zhi Tong says no one is willing to take on the case with low chances of winning. The only option now seems to be seeking a reduced sentence. However, many people related to Qiu Hao Er are unwilling to write a plea letter for her. Gao Jun enters and says that according to the judge's style, the chances of successfully appealing for a reduced sentence are very slim. The most direct approach is to aim for acquittal. Gao Jun also received information that Annie has secretly returned to Hong Kong. If they target Annie's mother, they should be able to find Annie. Qiu Hao Er and Qiu Zhi Tong finally feel relieved after hearing this.
Gao Jun informs Annie's mother that the person who bribed Annie has issued a death warrant and is searching for her everywhere. They plan to kill her to silence her. Fortunately, Gao Jun is loyal and reminds them, so Annie's mother tells Annie about this when she returns home. Both of them panic. Qiu Hao Er and others take advantage of their panic and successfully find Annie. With the persuasion of Qiu Hao Er and Gao Jun, Annie agrees to testify in court for Qiu Hao Er.
Gao Jun happily informs his father about this matter. He also didn't avoid mentioning it when Qiu Zhi Tong called him. He told his father that he had arranged Annie at the Long Yat Hotel in Tai Kok Tsui and that they would go there together with the documents the next day. After hanging up the phone, Gao Jun told his father that Qiu Zhi Bin was behind all this, which immediately changed his father's expression.
The next day, Gao Jun and Qiu Zhi Tong went to the hotel to find Annie, but they were informed that Annie had checked out in the middle of the night. After checking, they found out that Annie and her mother had already taken a flight to France. Qiu Hao Er was disappointed when she learned about this and decided not to appeal. She asked them not to disclose this matter either, as she didn't want any conflicts between Qiu Shou Yi and Qiu Zhi Bin, nor did she want outsiders to make fun of the Qiu family.
Qiu Hao Er went to prison like that, but Gao Jun didn't give up on finding the truth for her. He retrieved the hotel surveillance footage and discovered that it was Qiu Zhi Bin who took Annie away. Qiu Zhi Tong raised questions, and they convinced Annie to keep this matter a secret. So how did Qiu Zhi Bin find out about it?
Qiu Zhi Tong went back and questioned Qiu Zhi Bin about whether he was behind this. Qiu Zhi Bin accused Qiu Zhi Tong of having an excessive sense of justice, which was why the entire family disliked him. He admitted that he was the one who did it and said that Qiu Hao Er would only spend six weeks in jail, and he would compensate her properly when she got out. Disappointed, Qiu Zhi Tong left.
Gao Jun told Gao Cheng that he had found new evidence and used Gao Cheng's computer to play a video. He then went to the restroom, and Gao Cheng immediately deleted the video. Gao Jun caught him red-handed and asked why he did that. Gao Cheng said that Qiu Han Yang had been extremely kind to them, and Qiu Zhi Bin was his only grandson, so he wanted to protect him. Gao Jun didn't believe his father's explanation, but no matter what, Gao Cheng refused to tell the truth. At that moment, Gao Jun received a call and went to the police station to pick up Qiu Zhi Lan, who had been involved in a fight. In the car, Qiu Zhi Lan hung up on a concerned call from Shao Jia Bi and told Gao Jun that she wasn't her biological mother at all—Dai Qi Ting was. Gao Jun was shocked.
After returning home, Qiu Zhi Lan and Shao Jia Bi had a big argument. Shao Jia Bi angrily revealed the truth about the exchange between herself and Qiu Zhi Tong all those years ago to Qiu Zhi Lan. Qiu Zhi Lan couldn't accept this cruel truth for the time being and burst into tears.
