Episode 11 recap: A Carefully Crafted Trap: Father and Son Turn Against Each Other
In Episode 11, Jiang Zhe Xian is fully engaged in addressing the crisis facing Baoli Company. He urgently gathers key personnel at the Jiang family mansion, hoping that collective brainstorming will lead to a solution. Meanwhile, Man Yue knows that Jiang Ji Jun will seize this opportunity to pressure Tang Zi Chao into quickly handling the shady accounts and destroying all evidence.
Determined not to give Jiang Ji Jun any advantage, Man Yue and Zhu Bai Zhong decide to act swiftly. On the day of the meeting, they watch Tang Zi Chao and Jiang Ji Jun like detectives, looking for any signs of their exchange of incriminating evidence. Sure enough, they spot Jiang Ji Jun sneaking away with what looks like an ordinary candy box from Tang Zi Chao. However, both Man Yue and Zhu Bai Zhong suspect that it may contain hidden secrets. Just as Man Yue prepares to discreetly capture this moment as evidence, Jiang Zhe Xian asks her to help adjust Jiang Ji Jun's tie. Unexpectedly, Jiang Ji Jun erupts in anger, shoving Man Yue and accidentally causing her to cut her hand.
Fortunately, the attentive Cheng Feng notices what happened and immediately provides Man Yue with a band-aid, cotton swabs, and disinfectant to tend to her wound. However, the board meeting is forced to be canceled due to too many absentees, much to Zhuo Shi Qi's displeasure. Meanwhile, Zhuo Hao Tian is determined to undermine both Jiang Zhe Xian and Zhuo Shi Qi at any cost, refusing to delay Baoli's projects and instead overpaying for the steel needed by Baoli. Despite Huo Jian Kun's warning that this approach would harm them as much as it would hurt their enemies, Zhuo Hao Tian remains resolute.
As tensions between the Zhuo and Jiang families escalate, Zhuo Hui Yun finds her life at the Jiang household increasingly difficult. She decides to return to the Zhuo family, but Zhuo Hao Tian is equally cold towards her. In her moment of need, only her adoptive mother offers her warmth, yet she fails to cherish this bond. By chance, Man Yue discovers an empty candy box in Zhuo Hui Yun's dressing room, sparking her suspicion that the USB drive may have been moved to a safe by Jiang Ji Jun. Seizing the moment, Zhu Bai Zhong pretends to deliver a suit and enters the dressing room, attempting to open the safe, only to find it completely empty.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Man Yue received a photo of the safe from Zhuo Hui Yun, revealing that she had secretly swapped the USB drive. Zhuo Hui Yun set a condition: if Man Yue could help her get rid of Jiang Ji Jun and allow her to return to the Zhuo family, she would hand over the USB drive.
Man Yue promised to assist her, ensuring not only a smooth divorce but also a grand return to the Zhuo family. Under Man Yue's careful planning, Zhuo Hui Yun delivered the USB drive to Zhuo Hao Tian, claiming it contained evidence of Jiang Ji Jun's embezzlement.
Zhuo Hao Tian gladly accepted the deal and publicly welcomed Zhuo Hui Yun back into the family. Meanwhile, Man Yue was busy using the power of public opinion to expose Jiang Ji Jun's scandal, causing Baoli Construction's stock price to plummet and tarnishing Jiang Ji Jun's reputation.
When Jiang Zhe Xian learned that Jiang Ji Jun had a company registered in the Cayman Islands and was involved in drug trafficking, he was furious. He resorted to family punishment against Jiang Ji Jun and forced Mrs. Jiang to sign a property transfer document. Jiang Ji Jun attempted to flee but was intercepted by Huo Jian Kun and brought before Zhuo Hao Tian.
Zhuo Hao Tian laid down a condition: if Jiang Ji Jun returned the shares of Wang Zhuo held by Baoli, he would return the USB drive.
Man Yue's plan was unfolding step by step. She aimed not only to see Jiang Ji Jun face legal consequences but also to drive a wedge between Jiang Zhe Xian and Jiang Ji Jun, ultimately leading to their family’s ruin. Meanwhile, with Man Yue's support, Zhuo Hui Yun gradually regained her confidence and self-respect, preparing to embrace a new life.
