Episode 9 recap: Chu Yun provided cover for Qi Lin.

Qi Lin and Tian Jia cooperated with the police to bust the usury den, arresting all the suspects involved. When Zhou Lei learned of this, he scolded Chu Yun, complaining that they shouldn't have gotten involved in the matter. Chu Yun took all the responsibility.The Chenguang Plaza project had experienced ups and downs due to the fact that the land belonged to old, dilapidated neighborhoods and enterprises. It was finally approved at a municipal committee meeting. Shen Si Fang publicly praised Qiarun Group's acquisition of the Yongkang Fitness Equipment Factory, and the mayor decided to personally visit Qiarun Group for research.

Qi Lin found Liu Zegang's wrecked sports car based on the address on the scrapping order. The car had already been disassembled. The staff took Qi Lin, Zhang Tianyi and Ou Yang Lulu to the disassembly workshop, where the sports car had already been reduced to scrap metal. The three of them searched separately for the car's engine.

At the same time, Ye Xuan and Tian Jia came to find Sun Xinxin. When Sun Xinxin was bringing food to Liu Zegang, he saw the judge and court police come to arrest Liu Zegang, and he fled in a panic. Shao Jun and Tian Jia surrounded and trapped Sun Xinxin. Shen Si Fang immediately came to notify Chen Qi Lun, emphasizing that the mayor was clean and honest, and they absolutely must not engage in the practice of treating others to meals and gifts.

Ou Yang Lulu found the engine of the Maserati sports car in the pile of discarded engines, but the serial number was different from the accident vehicle. Ou Yang Lulu thus inferred that the wrecked sports car reported by Liu Zegang was not the one involved in the accident.

Sun Xinxin truthfully recounted the events between him and Liu Zegang. Liu Zegang had previously helped pay for his grandmother's medical expenses, but after Liu Chuan cut ties with him, Liu Zegang ran out of money and was being pursued by debt collectors. Sun Xinxin had used his own ID to rent a house and get a phone card for Liu Zegang, and Liu Zegang had also parked a wrecked car at his place. After the accident, Liu Zegang had driven the car away. Sun Xinxin also revealed that Liu Zegang had two identical sports cars, and that he had helped Liu Zegang transfer over 1.3 million yuan to buy jewelry for his mother Zhang Yan.

Liu Zegang refused to admit that he had two Maserati sports cars. Ou Yang Lulu presented irrefutable evidence, leaving Liu Zegang dumbfounded. Qi Lin found that Liu Chuan had covered the medical expenses of Ren Xue for Liu Zegang, but had not paid anything since then. Qi Lin quickly located Liu Chuan in the suburbs and went there to verify the situation.

Liu Chuan was heartbroken as Liu Zegang had been gambling online and lost a lot of money. Liu Chuan had completely given up and just hoped that Qi Lin would get Liu Zegang sent to prison. He was willing to pay for Ren Xue's medical treatment, but Qi Lin felt that Liu Chuan was avoiding responsibility. Shen Sifang accompanied the mayor of Chu city to tour the Qilin Group, and Chen Qilun personally showed him around, even giving him a special gift containing soil from Qinggang and seeds of various crops. The mayor gladly accepted this souvenir.

Based on the leads provided by Liu Zegang, Qi Lin found the Maserati sports car at the Changxi Trading Company. Seeing that Qian Da's car was also there, Qi Lin tried to talk to Qian Da, but the staff lied that he was not there. Upon hearing that Liu Zegang had been arrested, Qian Da got worried and immediately started packing to flee. However, he was caught on the spot by Qi Lin's team. Qian Da resisted fiercely, resulting in a brawl. Tian Jia, a former university free fighting champion, easily apprehended Qian Da and the others without much effort.

When Zhou Lei learned of this incident, he severely reprimanded Chu Yun, a judicial officer, for participating in the fight. He fined all those involved in the brawl and even made Chu Yun write a self-criticism, as Chu Yun had tried to defend them.

Tian Jia helped Zhang Tianyi bandage his wounds, and he took the opportunity to act coquettishly, which Qi Lin couldn't help but tease him about. Liu Chuan paid the compensation to Ren Xue and brought Zhang Yan to the hospital to apologize and promise further compensation, and Ren Xue's parents agreed not to pursue the matter further.

Qin Hong wanted to seek justice for Dai Lan and learned from her that Fang Qiang had a 10% stake in the company. She asked Dai Lan to call Fang Qiang, but his phone went unanswered. Tian Jia challenged Shao Jun to a duel, which drew a crowd including Qi Lin and Chu Yun. Despite eventually losing to Shao Jun, Tian Jia's agile movements and superior skills left everyone in awe.
