Episode 12 recap: Li Bo coerced Fang Qiang to hand over his shares.
Fang Qiang was kidnapped, and a masked man forced him to hand over the shares of the Yongkang Fitness Equipment Factory, threatening to make him disappear if he refused. Fang Qiang had no choice but to agree. Qin Hong persuaded Fang Qiang to transfer 10% of the shares of the Yongkang Fitness Equipment Factory to her as an agent, and she came directly to negotiate with Chen Qi Lun, wanting to participate in the Chenguang Plaza development project. Chen Qi Lun just smiled and did not respond, so Qin Hong left with a stern warning.
Chen Qi Lun sent Li Bo to negotiate with Fang Qiang to buy the shares, but all attempts failed. As a result, Qin Hong seized the opportunity to step in. Chen Qi Lun vented his anger on Li Bo and also scolded Qin Hong harshly, which Qin Hong clearly heard outside.
Troubled, Li Bo went to a bar to drink alone. He was unwilling to admit defeat and had Fang Qiang kidnapped. Fang Qiang was locked in an iron cage, and Li Bo, wearing a mask, came to see him, threatening to have a dog kill him and then make him disappear. Fang Qiang was terrified and begged for mercy, agreeing to transfer the shares to Li Bo. Li Bo instructed him to come to the Qi Lun Group at 10 a.m. the next day to sign the transfer agreement.
Dai Lan could not reach Fang Qiang's phone, and Qin Hong suspected someone else was eyeing Fang Qiang's shares. Qin Hong came to the Qi Lun Group early in the morning, and Fang Qiang arrived later, intending to sell the shares to Chen Qi Lun. Qin Hong guessed that he had been threatened, but Fang Qiang denied it, and Qin Hong did not believe him. Fang Qiang handed the share agreement to Li Bo, who gave him 500,000 yuan and allowed him to return the money to Yu Bo, also giving him a 50,000 yuan bonus. Li Bo warned Fang Qiang not to mention this to anyone, or he would face the consequences.
After sending Fang Qiang away, Li Bo came to see Qin Hong. Qin Hong suspected that Chen Qi Lun had schemed to trick Fang Qiang into selling the shares, and she insisted on meeting with Chen Qi Lun. Li Bo repeatedly emphasized that Fang Qiang's shares were not legally valid, as the factory had been sold to Chen Qi Lun by Dong Ming, so Fang Qiang should give the shares to the Qi Lun Group. He reminded Qin Hong not to pursue this matter further, then left, leaving Qin Hong fuming.
Fang Qiang returned the 500,000 yuan to Yu Bo, who had hoped to make a big profit from Fang Qiang's shares but was disappointed that he had secretly sold them to the Qi Lun Group. Yu Bo forced Fang Qiang to return the gifts, so Fang Qiang took them to the Qi Run Yu Restaurant, where Qi Run Yu and Fang Dai Cheng quickly brought out the gifts. Fang Qiang smashed two bottles of Moutai, and Yu Bo claimed each bottle was worth 30,000 yuan. Fang Qiang took out the 50,000 yuan Li Bo had just given him, and Fang Dai Cheng gave Yu Bo the 8,700 yuan the restaurant had, which finally satisfied Yu Bo and allowed him to leave.
Qi Run Yu harshly disciplined Fang Qiang, and Fang Qiang was already angry. Qi Run Yu also scolded him, and Fang Qiang felt that Qi Run Yu only cared about Qi Lin. The mother and son had a fierce argument over a trivial matter, and Fang Qiang stormed off in a huff. Qi Run Yu suffered a sudden attack of anxiety and collapsed on the spot. Fang Dai Cheng immediately called Qi Lin, who rushed to the hospital. The doctor mistakenly thought Qi Lin was Qi Run Yu's son and reprimanded him without hearing the full story.
The second court took over two cases. Painter Yan Di and female college student Lin Meng Qiu were both put on the credit blacklist for failing to repay their debts. They went to investigate separately. It was the day of Yan Di's new work exhibition, and her boyfriend Simon personally hosted the opening ceremony. Chu Yun brought Zhang Tian Yi and Ye Xuan to see Yan Di, who was focused on her creative work.
Yan Di had divorced her ex-husband Shi Jian Kang, and emotionally cheated on him with Simon. The court ordered Yan Di to pay Shi Jian Kang 5 million. Yan Di's studio was auctioned off for 800,000, and Chu Yun wanted to sell her paintings to pay the debt. But Yan Di had already gifted the paintings to Simon and burned all 18 of them, which Simon documented and titled "Rebirth". Yan Di refused to pay Shi Jian Kang a single penny more, but Chu Yun insisted on enforcing the court's judgment.
Qi Lin went to Lin Meng Qiu's advisor to inquire about her situation, learning that she had not attended school for 7 months and even missed her graduation defense. Qi Lin also found out that Lin Meng Qiu was close with Lv Wen Wen. Qi Lin went to ask Lv Wen Wen about Lin Meng Qiu's whereabouts, but Lv Wen Wen only said that Lin Meng Qiu was working hard to pay off her debts, without providing any other details.
Fang Qiang went to a bar to drink himself into a stupor. He had no money left to buy more alcohol, and the server refused to serve him more. The owner came and told the large employee Da Bao to let Fang Qiang drink for free. Fang Qiang then grabbed a bottle and struck Da Bao in the head, angering him and leading to a physical altercation. The owner quickly intervened to stop Da Bao.
