Episode 17 recap: Luo Cheng Yu's Devastating Setback Leads to Mutism
In this episode, Chu An Ge clearly told Luo Cheng Yu and the others that they had requested a device inspection. If any evidence of framing was found, Luo Cheng Yu would be exonerated. She informed Brandt and Mason that Luo Cheng Yu was indeed developing an integrated system for the Cloud Dragon architecture that combined detection, warning, compensation, and repair functionalities. He was doing this out of a strong belief in the principles of interconnectivity and secure sharing.
Chu An Ge told Brandt and Mason that if they truly valued the Cloud Dragon, they should respect science, morality, and humanity, and let Luo Cheng Yu go. After successful negotiations, Brandt agreed to withdraw the lawsuit and provided Luo Cheng Yu with a certificate of innocence. However, Chu An Ge still had some doubts after seeing the evidence collected by Fan Si Miao, as the framing devices were related to Jiang Yi Fei and Yu Jia Ming.
As Luo Cheng Yu was leaving the police station, he rushed to the hospital, only to witness Yu Jia Ming professing his love to Jiang Yi Fei and even kissing her hand tenderly. The news of Brandt's praise for Luo Cheng Yu was broadcast on television, and An Shan believed Luo Cheng Yu would become the next Chu Si Yuan, but Chu An Ge was determined not to let the tragedy repeat itself.
Worried that Luo Cheng Yu had not returned, Chu An Ge decided to go out and find him. When she went to Jiang Yi Fei's place, Jiang Yi Fei was distraught over a $10 million fine and started crying. As Chu An Ge was leaving, she called Yu Jia Ming "despicable."
In the pouring rain, Luo Cheng Yu was walking the streets alone and eventually ended up on the rooftop, completely drunk. When Chu An Ge reached the rooftop, Luo Cheng Yu was standing on the edge, ready to jump. Chu An Ge gently calmed him down and shared her own experiences, finally convincing Luo Cheng Yu to abandon the idea of suicide.
The next day, Luo Cheng Yu learned that Chu An Ge was helping him deal with the fine. Although the court had found him not guilty, due to intellectual property issues, Dream World and Sunrise had to pay $20 million. Mason refused to pay the compensation, causing Dream World's financial chain to collapse and making it vulnerable to acquisition by MC. Yu Jia Ming realized that he had failed completely.
