Episode 7 recap: Cheng Hanyu and Peng Yingxiang Pretend to be a Couple for Investigation
In Episode 7, Peng Yingxiang discovers a drone while driving and quickly calls Xu Yuhui to adjust its altitude to avoid interference. Xu Yuhui responds that raising it further would impair visibility, but Peng Yingxiang insists that he can see it just fine.Meanwhile, the sniper team is ready and in position. On the other side, Wang Ruijie and his team are on the move. Wu Yiman struggles with her computer, and Dong Chunlei steps up to help her carry it.
As the convoy passes a stall, Peng Yingxiang instinctively identifies it as the first lookout point, cleverly concealed. Cheng Hanyu curiously asks how he knows the operation has begun. Peng Yingxiang explains that many young men in the village are working elsewhere, so it's typical for an older person to run a stall, but this one holds hidden significance. The sniper team uses thermal imaging to locate two enemy snipers.
Peng Yingxiang selects an open area as their operation point and coordinates with Cheng Hanyu. They launch into a convincing argument as a couple, with Peng Yingxiang repeatedly assuring her that he only loves her, even kissing her to calm her down. This scene is witnessed by Wang Ruijie and others from a distance.
After completing their initial reconnaissance, the team prepares to return. At that moment, Xu Yuhui spots a suspicious vehicle approaching rapidly and requests backup. Although Peng Yingxiang suspects it might be a coincidence, Yan Jun and the others respond quickly and remain alert. Yan Jun instructs Peng Yingxiang to wait for further orders before acting.
Upon investigation, they confirm that the occupants belong to the Southeast Asian Black Dragon Gang, intending to conduct illegal transactions in the Sanlian area. Peng Yingxiang decides to intercept them and vows to take full responsibility for the consequences.
When they confront the gang, Peng Yingxiang and Cheng Hanyu team up to engage in fierce combat with the opposing traders. Yan Jun and the others arrive just in time to help secure the scene.
After the battle, Cheng Hanyu is visibly upset, crying alone in the bathroom. Peng Yingxiang attempts to comfort her but realizes that his impulsive actions have cost her her first kiss, filling him with guilt. He decides to give her space to collect herself.
Later, Peng Yingxiang returns a knife to He Yuyang and inquires about Ba Te Er, but to no avail. Their original plan to use a reconnaissance centipede for intelligence is thwarted when it is accidentally damaged, leaving the investigation team frustrated.
Captured gang member Leopard admits to being part of the Black Dragon Gang and the international crime organization K2. Xu Yuhui plans to send an undercover agent but struggles to find a suitable candidate. Although Zhang Baolu tries to mimic Minnan dialect, Peng Yingxiang feels it’s not authentic enough and decides to take matters into his own hands. Cheng Hanyu volunteers, leveraging her fluency in Minnan to play the role of Xiaolongnu, the daughter of the gang leader, while Peng Yingxiang poses as her loyal bodyguard, Little Black Bear. They infiltrate the enemy's lair as a couple.
Ultimately, they drive to the target factory, where an even more challenging mission awaits them.
