Episode 15 recap: # Changing Fate
In Episode 15, when Shen Xing and Yan Bai Mei enter the room, they are stunned by the scene before them. The bathroom is in chaos, water is splashing everywhere, and Guo Li Min is injured and unconscious on the floor. Lei Ming is in even worse shape. Yan Bai Mei quickly arranges for someone to take both of them to a small clinic through the back door. Guo Li Min's injuries aren't severe, and he receives IV treatment at the clinic.
Lei Ming, however, nearly loses his life and is rushed to Mo De Le. Shen Xing is understandably upset, but Yan Bai Mei reminds him that Lei Ming is connected to Jason Li, and urges Shen Xing not to act impulsively over Guo Li Min. Additionally, Shen Xing informs Yan Bai Mei that Cai Shu and Da Ban have decided to withdraw, wanting only to recover their principal and profits.
Since the incident involving Guo Li Min, rumors have spread that someone died at the Century Gambling House, and there are reports of staff contracting a contagious disease, leading to a significant drop in guests at the D venue, even affecting the Century Hotel. Yan Bai Mei looks worried, but Qi Sen Lin seems unconcerned. He instructs his team to arrange for a blood donation vehicle to come tomorrow, planning to organize a large-scale blood drive among the employees.
Shen Xing wants Wang An Quan to take Guo Li Min away from the small gambling den, suggesting they could work as waiters in Da Qu Lin or Jin Zhan Ba. However, Wang An Quan explains that everyone here, whether rich or poor, is abnormal. If Guo Li Min stays, he will have to learn to adapt to this abnormality.
Once Guo Li Min follows Wang An Quan, he risks ending up like him. Amin, having left the Jin Cui Ge Hall, approaches Shen Xing with a frown and tells him that Liu Jin Cui has arranged for her to have a residence permit elsewhere. She will no longer be staying here. Shen Xing goes upstairs to find Liu Jin Cui, who shares her struggles, and although he doesn’t fully understand, he senses her difficult situation.
Shen Xing notices the D venue is empty, but Bo Lang Gong is busy preparing to welcome guests from Camon. As he heads downstairs, he sees Rong Jie outside trying to attract customers. He makes a call to summon Wang An Quan, and learns from him that Rong Jie was brought in by Jason Li to set a trap, masquerading as the Millennium Goddess of Gambling to ensnare debt-ridden gamblers even further.
Kamon operates under the rule of law, where using violence for debt collection is not an option. Instead, they lure people to the small gambling den, convincing them that luck can change with a single card. Jason Li threatens Shen Xing with surveillance footage, forcing him to support Yan Bai Mei in front of Cai Shu, persuading Cai Shu to join their cause and offering the house behind Lan Qin for violent debt collection at the Century D venue.
Shen Xing feels compelled to express his stance for Guo Li Min in front of Cai Shu. Because of this, Cai Shu directly presses Shen Xing's arm against a scorching teapot in front of Yan Bai Mei. Cai Shu sees clearly that Jason Li is connected to Luan Ba Song, and their goal is to establish gambling tourism, meaning this area will become their D venue. Wealthy and powerful individuals would have no reason to share profits with Yan Bai Mei and Cai Shu.
Despite this, Yan Bai Mei chooses to side with Jason Li. Eventually, Cai Shu agrees to Yan Bai Mei’s proposal, and Yan Bai Mei promises to delete the surveillance footage. Cai Shu warns Shen Xing that while loyalty is admirable, he should not be easily bound by it.
Some may rise because of Shen Xing, but none will fall due to him. Shen Xing visits the clinic and discovers that Guo Li Min has been discharged. He asks Wang An Quan and learns that Guo Li Min seems to have returned to his home country. Guo Li Min's whereabouts remain a mystery, so Shen Xing seeks help from Jue Xin Tun to check for any records of Guo Li Min leaving the country. Jue Xin Tun happens to be looking for a Chinese journalist named Tian and wants Shen Xing's assistance.
Shen Xing goes to Da Qu Lin, meets Liu Jin Cui, and talks about her past. Suddenly, a gunshot rings out, and someone is shot in the street. It seems that Da Qu Lin is also in chaos lately.
