Episode 38 recap: The Three Musketeers Join Forces to Prove Their Innocence
In Episode 38, the day's commotion, coupled with Luo Cheng Yu's distant attitude, prompted him to decide to personally apologize to Chu An Ge that evening. While Chu An Ge outwardly expressed understanding, citing decision-making authority, she was inwardly dissatisfied and subtly questioned whether Luo Cheng Yu was hiding something, only to be firmly denied by him.
On the way back, Chu An Ge reiterated her stance, hoping that Luo Cheng Yu would be candid and not make her the last to receive information. Meanwhile, Qi Dongfang and He Wei actively reported the progress of the Dream City project to their superiors, and proposed a bold idea to address the international technology barriers - to build a transnational technology alliance, aiming to gather technological strength from across the nation and even globally, through capital integration, technological complementarity, and supply chain coordination, to jointly withstand external challenges and achieve mutually beneficial development.
As the Dream City plan in Jiangnan City was officially announced, a series of chain reactions quietly unfolded. Browne learned that Sunrise East had joined hands with 37 technology companies in the Jiangnan region to form an industry alliance, focusing on the R&D of intelligent chips, and had drawn a clear line with HB Company. Yujiaming keenly perceived the far-reaching implications of this move, predicting that it would attract more high-tech companies to Jiangnan, even radiating across the country and the Asia-Pacific region, and thus urged Browne to adjust his strategic layout.
On the other side, Mason made a gamble, wishing to bring Sunrise East into his fold and engage in direct competition with HB Company, unaware of Luo Cheng Yu's secret plan. Chu An Ge and Yao Na urgently met with Mason, insisting that before the acquisition was finalized, MC must fulfill the existing contract, i.e., to deliver 150,000 smart chips in advance.
After a round of negotiations, Mason reluctantly agreed, but required the contract to be completed by the end of the month. Ding Muyang reviewed the contract and decided to sign with Mason the next day, but Luo Cheng Yu's absence made Chu An Ge suspicious, until she learned that he had flown to Silicon City to handle important matters and entrusted everything to them.
However, Mason's dream was soon shattered. Luo Cheng Yu, who was in Silicon City, had quietly completed the full acquisition of MC China, becoming its largest shareholder. Mason rushed back, but it was too late, as Sunrise East and MC China had completed the capital restructuring and established the Sunrise Guangkong Holding Group, with the original Sunrise East becoming just a shell.
Even more devastating for Mason was that his efforts to salvage Helen proved futile, as she threatened him at gunpoint, citing the use of MC funds to support Maya, ultimately leaving him disgraced. Luo Cheng Yu, armed with Sunrise Guangkong, confronted HB Company head-on, leaving Browne caught off guard. Yujiaming's long-term patience and planning had finally found an opportunity to counterattack. He not only collected evidence to prepare for a confrontation with Mason, but also hoped to change Browne's prejudice against China through his own efforts.
All of this was witnessed by the silent observer Jiang Yifei, who finally understood Yujiaming's hardships and perseverance, and couldn't help but smile. Chu An Ge was shocked to learn of Luo Cheng Yu's astonishing actions from Mason, and felt not only betrayed, but also angry and disappointed. She believed that Luo Cheng Yu had used her and no longer needed her presence.
That night, she angrily questioned Luo Cheng Yu, refusing to accept any explanation, and resolutely broke up with him. Although Luo Cheng Yu made every effort to reconcile, Chu An Ge's mind was made up. She left a resignation letter and, accompanied by Yao Na, returned to Silicon City with determination.
