Episode 15 recap: Sun Yunxiao's Attack on Yang Tian
In episode 15, Yang Tian hurriedly called Old Cao and told him she had to go to Du Ziyu's place to handle some urgent work matters today, and wouldn't be able to go to the hospital. She specifically instructed Old Cao to rest early and not overwork himself. But before she could even finish speaking, a devastating disaster struck - an out-of-control large truck came barreling towards her and swept her up.
On the other side, Zhou Qiao was desperately trying to find a way to pay for the surgery his mother needed. With no other choice, he mustered up the courage to ask Manager Shao at the base for help. Manager Shao thought about it and said he'd have to report this to the company. Soon after, a mysterious phone call summoned Zhou Qiao to Lei Xu's place, saying they could solve his pressing issue, but the condition was that he had to take something.
Zhou Qiao was really conflicted, knowing this was wrong, but for the sake of his mother, he gritted his teeth and agreed. Later, when the police questioned him, Zhou Qiao said the key recorder had been taken by a man with a distinctive tattoo, which reminded him of a lead in the previous Su Da case.
At the same time, things were also tumultuous on Sun Yunxiao's side. His subordinates reported that "Dumplings" had been arrested, and the police had the recorder.
Hearing this, Sun Yunxiao panicked, feeling that Lei Xu must have some backup plan. He immediately had people keep an eye on Lei Xu, and also kept himself busy. On the other side, Captain Yu was in a standoff with "Dumplings", using DNA and surveillance footage to finally force "Dumplings" to confess to killing Su Da and framing Lei Xu.
But when asked who instructed him, "Dumplings" clamped up and refused to say.
At this moment, Sun Yunxiao's sister, Sun Yundi, emerged, saying her brother was in danger. But Sun Yunxiao didn't believe that, feeling that as long as he got the "treasure" in Lei Xu's hands, any problem could be solved, and even Zhu Jie would have to obey.
Sun Yundi was suspicious of this "treasure", but Sun Yunxiao confidently said he had been watching Lei Xu for a long time and couldn't be wrong.
Turning to Zhang Li and Liu Liu, they had planned a hotpot party at Du Ziyu's place and invited Lei Xu. Lei Xu was a bit hesitant at first because of his past with Du Ziyu, but was eventually persuaded.
When they arrived, no one was home! It turned out Zhang Li and Liu Liu had a sudden errand to attend to and would be back soon. Du Ziyu took the opportunity to go out shopping, leaving Lei Xu alone at home in a rather awkward atmosphere.
During the hotpot dinner, Lei Xu opened his heart to Du Ziyu, sharing all the misfortunes he had encountered recently - from the Jiang Xiaojie case, to the Su Da incident, to Zhou Qiao's eavesdropping incident. He felt there was a bigger conspiracy behind it all.
Hearing this, Du Ziyu also recalled a case from years ago, where the victim Shen Yueer's situation was similar to Jiang Xiaojie's. The more they talked, the more they felt something was off, sensing an invisible hand orchestrating everything.
Just as they were discussing, Yang Tian's call came, with her saying just a few words before the line abruptly cut off - it was clear something had happened.
Du Ziyu's heart sank, sensing foreboding. It turned out the "urgent matter" Yang Tian mentioned was that she had been in a car accident. Now, not only had Zhou Qiao and Lei Xu's troubles not been resolved, but the case had also become even more complex and dreadful.
