Episode 22 recap: Lin Qiang Collects Evidence for Chen Xing Yuan
In episode 22, Lin Qiang earnestly persuaded the managers Wang and Du from the Disciplinary Department to return to the department. Lin Qiang originally wanted Qian Bo to bring the office keys, but they insisted on getting them themselves. When Wang and Du opened the door to the Disciplinary Department, they found that the evidence Lin Qiang had submitted for the Wenhu Group case was missing, and Liang Kuai's hard drive was also gone. They suspected that Qian Bo had taken them, but he denied it and acted clueless, even claiming that Lin Qiang was the acting president.
Qian Cai was sentenced to life imprisonment and was about to be sent to prison. Before he left, he wanted to see Lin Qiang, so Qian Bo took Lin Qiang to the detention center. Lin Qiang saw Qian Cai, who looked haggard and had gone gray, and felt uneasy. Qian Cai reminded Lin Qiang not to collude with Xing Li, and apologized to him for the previous incident, which Lin Qiang had long forgiven. Qian Cai mentioned a loan he had taken from the Shanghai real estate market in 2017, as well as two real estate funds.
When Lin Qiang returned to the dorm, Zheng Shuai, Zhang Jia Ming, Yuan Guan Kui, and Xiao Xiao had prepared food and drinks to celebrate with him, eager to follow him to the branch. However, Lin Qiang was powerless, and Xiao Xiao asked him to bring Lin Xiao Zao along, as Lin Qiang had offended Xing Li and was now in a precarious situation.
Suddenly, Yuan Guan Kui received a call from Qin Zheng, informing him that Chen Xing Yuan had been kidnapped. Shocked, Lin Qiang learned that Chen Xing Yuan had been arrested due to a suspicious fund transfer. He asked Zheng Shuai to investigate the account that received the transfer, and found that it was linked to the account that Ling Le Le had used, with the transfer going through multiple servers.
Zheng Shuai accompanied Mo Xi Jun to play golf, but he couldn't get the hang of it, even with Mo Xi Jun's hands-on instruction. Zheng Shuai eventually asked Mo Xi Jun to help investigate the overseas accounts.
Qian Bo handed over the evidence for the Wenhu Group case to the Disciplinary Department, but Lin Qiang found that many important pieces of evidence were missing. Qian Bo claimed ignorance and told them to ask Xing Li. Lin Qiang sent people from the Disciplinary Department to get Xing Li's signature.
Mo Xi Jun found that the account used to transfer money to Ling Le Le was the same as the one used to transfer money to Chen Xing Yuan's account.
Xing Li ordered the branch department heads to collectively impeach Chen Xing Yuan. Zhu Feng Shan believed that Chen Xing Yuan had been framed, and Lin Qiang asked him to explain the situation truthfully. Zhu Feng Shan recalled that he and Chen Xing Yuan had met with Zhang Longhu a few times, and Chen Xing Yuan thought Zhang Longhu was of poor character, so he had ignored him. Xing Li had repeatedly put pressure on Chen Xing Yuan, forcing him to green-light the Wenhu Group, and Chen Xing Yuan resigned because he could no longer control the branch. Zhu Feng Shan advised Lin Qiang not to fight Xing Li, as even Chen Xing Yuan was no match for him.
Lin Qiang was unwilling to give up and insisted on fighting Xing Li to the end. Zhu Feng Shan wanted to play it safe, but after Lin Qiang's persistent pleading, he reluctantly agreed to explain the situation. Lin Qiang first talked to Manager Zeng, who looked down on the young acting president Lin Qiang and was ready to frame Chen Xing Yuan according to Xing Li's wishes. Lin Qiang reminded Zeng that he would be charged with perjury if he did not write his true opinion of Chen Xing Yuan, so Zeng had to take the materials back and rewrite them.
Lin Qiang found that the head office had granted loans to 11 high-risk companies, all of which were closely tied to the Wenhu Group. Zhu Feng Shan was worried that this evidence might not be enough to overthrow Xing Li. The president was busy investigating the Wenhu Group case, and Qian Bo brought the president's son to the company, frightening the president, who then asked Qian Bo to keep away from Lin Qiang.
Lin Qiang went to Xia Xin's house to inquire about Chen Xing Yuan's situation, only to find that Chen Xing Yuan was there. Lin Qiang was surprised to learn that Chen Xing Yuan had been released. He discovered that the account used to transfer money to Chen Xing Yuan was the same as Ling Le Le's, and Xia Xin revealed that this was a carefully orchestrated plan by the leadership to pressure Xing Li.
