Episode 24 recap: Criminal Gang Defeated
In Episode 24, Xici Li attempts to escape but is shot in the leg by Bai Lang and is unable to move. Bai Lang, heartbroken by the sight, questions Xici Li about her supposed betrayal and wonders if their once-close sibling bond has been completely severed. With a cold expression, Xici Li replies that she has long let go of those ties and leaves her fate in Bai Lang's hands.
Amidst this confrontation, gunfire erupts nearby, and Bai Lang's men quickly engage in battle, igniting a chaotic fight. Seizing the moment, Xici Li pulls out a pill from her pocket and swallows it without hesitation, soon falling into a deep sleep, as if the turmoil around her is of no concern. Bai Lang says nothing more and joins the fray against the newly appeared enemy, Qi Heng Yi, where the fighting becomes intense and evenly matched.
Suddenly, a team of unidentified reinforcements arrives, throwing the situation into disarray. Cheng Han Yue quickly seeks guidance from the command center. Upon receiving orders to activate the friend-or-foe identification system, they discover that these new arrivals are allies, leading to a swift resolution of the conflict. Peng Ying Xiang and others pursue Bai Lang, demanding he surrender, but he continues to resist and ultimately cannot escape being subdued.
He Yu Yang, wielding a sharp blade, aims it at Bai Lang's vital points but ultimately refrains from delivering a fatal blow. At this moment, Yan Jun notices someone carrying out a body—it’s Xici Li. Mixed emotions flood everyone’s hearts. Qi Heng Yi is captured, and Peng Ying Xiang reflects on his choice to embrace the path of justice, even though Qi Heng Yi remains silent.
Suddenly, Qi Heng Yi collapses, causing panic as everyone checks on him, only to find out that it was due to a false denture, resulting in a momentary scare. Wang Rui Jie timely neutralizes a potential bomb threat, averting disaster.
Meanwhile, He Yu Yang changes into Mongolian attire and dances before everyone, announcing his resignation. Despite his superiors attempting to retain him with a proposal to transfer to Inner Mongolia, He Yu Yang is resolute in his decision, wanting to focus on caring for his family. To everyone’s surprise, Ba Te Er appears to dance with He Yu Yang, revealing that their "sacrifice" was a carefully orchestrated ruse to mislead the enemy.
Peng Ying Xiang visits Qi Heng Yi alone, filled with regret. At the same time, Zhan Guo encounters Zhao Jia Qi and her son during a mission, mistakenly assuming that the foreigner accompanying them is Zhao Jia Qi's partner. In reality, they are a couple from the art world invited to Donghai for an exhibition. Zhan Guo is thrilled and hurries to inform his colleagues, eager to finish work and reunite with his family.
When Zhao Jia Qi returns, she brings joy to the team and helps ease tensions in Zhan Guo's family. He reveals that he had visited Zhao Jia Qi's father and learned that his death sentence had been commuted to life imprisonment, expressing that if the man genuinely repents, he will still regard him as family.
The squad leader approaches the director once again concerning a marriage report, only to be told that the approval is still in his hands, with an unclear expiration date, leaving the director exasperated. The sergeant quietly takes action, rescuing Xici Li's sister and providing her shelter. Qi Heng Yi's mother is devastated upon learning of her son’s death, and while beside her, Peng Ying Xiang finds an earring that Qi Heng Yi used to wear, feeling a deep sense of guilt for not recognizing the signs earlier.
