Episode 3 recap: Lei Xu Takes His Colleagues to a Bar
In Episode 3, the case of Zong Youling was finally resolved, and Sun Yundi narrowly avoided trouble due to her divorce two years prior. She privately warned her brother Lei Xu to be extra cautious in his new role at the juvenile prosecution office, but the confident Lei Xu brushed off her concerns. Meanwhile, Du Ziyu and Liu Liu were quite satisfied with the day's interview, but Lei Xu felt awkwardly placed, believing that his department knew he was still unfamiliar with his new job, leaving him feeling slighted.
Seeing this, Du Ziyu tried to soothe Lei Xu's emotions and revealed that the interview arrangement was intentional, a small act of revenge for past grievances. It turned out the two had broken up years ago, and while they had no further contact, Du Ziyu had always kept tabs on Lei Xu's activities, knowing he had been transferred due to the Zong Youling case. To ease the tension, Du Ziyu proposed and organized a team dinner, choosing a bar district as the location, hoping to help Lei Xu unwind.
At the gathering, Lei Xu put on a relaxed front, even suggesting they splurge on high-end options like the "Dragon Suit," shocking the others. Faced with the hefty bill, Lei Xu cleverly shifted the "boss" role to Yang Tian, showcasing his savvy. However, the purpose of this outing went beyond just socializing. Du Ziyu, Liu Liu, and Zhang Li had a plan - using high-tech means, they uncovered the bar's illegal activities, including serving underage patrons.
In the bathroom, Lei Xu unexpectedly discovered a two-way mirror, quickly gathering evidence to set the stage for future action. The group then discreetly collected proof of the bar's unlawful operations through selfies and surveillance. Caught off guard by the sudden inspection, the bar owner was powerless, and the establishment was ultimately shut down due to multiple violations, with several underage victims rescued.
Lei Xu did not stop there. He took Liu Liu to the "Sleep Hat Internet Cafe" to further investigate the potential criminal chain. Sure enough, this cafe was also engaged in illegal operations, promptly shut down by the police. This series of actions not only demonstrated Lei Xu's sharp instincts and decisiveness as a prosecutor, but also deepened his understanding of the importance and complexity of juvenile protection work.
After learning of these events, Sun Yuxiao, Sun Yundi's brother, received a warning from Shijie Group's Zhuang Jie: Lei Xu was not as simple as he appeared, and his behind-the-scenes actions and determination far exceeded common expectations. This not only acknowledged Lei Xu's capabilities, but also hinted at the many challenges and tests awaiting them in the field of juvenile protection.
Through this ordeal, Lei Xu not only earned the respect and trust of his colleagues, but also further solidified his determination to uphold justice and protect minors. All of this would become invaluable assets and experiences in his professional career.
