Episode 15 recap: Investigating the Owner of the High Heels
In this episode, Zheng You Dong and Wang Yi Zheng likely know who drugged Yu Man Yue, making them potential leads in her investigation. Yu Xi Chen is also determined to find out who was responsible for drugging her sister, so she asks her aunt to locate the phone number of their old neighbor from that time. Armed with the school newspaper, Yu Xi Chen starts asking Yu Man Yue's classmates one by one.
Zhu Bai Zhong advises her to focus on her rehabilitation first and to help out once she’s able. Yu Man Yue approaches Zhu Bai Zhong, seeking assistance in continuing the investigation, but she understands if Zhu Bai Zhong declines. However, Zhu Bai Zhong is willing to help. Yu Man Yue reveals that she has begun her investigation based on a limited-edition pair of high heels, which she discovers is currently in the possession of Zhuo Hui Yun. Although she can’t be sure if Zhuo Hui Yun is involved, Yu Man Yue decides to investigate further within the Wang Zhuo Group.
To establish a new image for the Wang Zhuo Group and to further her investigation into the high heels, Yu Man Yue creatively plans a Casoli high heel exhibition. Zhuo Hui Yun fully supports her and agrees to showcase her collection of high heels, as well as reach out to socialites to persuade them to lend their heels for the exhibition.
While preparing for the exhibition, Yu Man Yue notices that Zhuo Hui Yun has brought some high heels, including the limited edition pair worn by the woman who drugged her. Once all the staff have left, Yu Man Yue directly confronts Zhuo Hui Yun, revealing her and her sister's traumatic memories of being assaulted by Jiang Ji Jun and Kuang Yong Yuan. Zhuo Hui Yun expresses sympathy for her experiences and explains that Zhuo Hao Tian did not recognize her at the time, making it impossible for her to wear those shoes to drug anyone.
Zhuo Hao Tian is confidently planning the next three-year strategy for the Wang Zhuo Group. Though Huo Jian Kun outwardly appears compliant and flattering, he harbors significant ambitions of his own. Reflecting on Zhuo Hui Yun’s words, Yu Man Yue finds them reasonable, making the entire situation increasingly complex.
Zhu Bai Zhong follows Wang Yi Zheng and deliberately causes a rear-end collision, successfully obtaining a business card from Zheng You Dong, Wang Yi Zheng's superior. Through subtle questioning, she learns that a wealthy individual was responsible for having Wang Yi Zheng and Zheng You Dong drug Yu Man Yue all those years ago.
He shared this information with Man Yue, mentioning that besides Zhuo Hui Yun, the only other woman from the Zhuo family was Fan Yu Ling, Zhuo Shi Rong's wife. However, Fan Yu Ling had been away from Hong Kong for many years, making her difficult to find.
Zheng You Dong realized that Yu Man Yue had asked Zhu Bai Zhong to gather information, so he instructed Wang Yi Zheng to be cautious. On the day of the Zhuo Hao Tian statue unveiling ceremony, Fan Yu Ling suddenly appeared, catching Zhuo Hao Tian off guard, though he quickly concealed his surprise. Privately, Zhuo Hao Tian was unhappy that Fan Yu Ling had returned and disrupted his plans. He didn’t expect that her return was to demand a public apology from him, insisting that he explain to the public that her husband, Zhuo Shi Rong, was a good son who did not die over a struggle for inheritance.
Zhuo Hao Tian was furious upon learning that Fan Yu Ling had powerful backing, which gave her the audacity to act so brazenly. He immediately ordered Huo Jian Kun to investigate who was behind Fan Yu Ling. Yu Man Yue suggested that there were many reporters outside the Wang Zhuo Group's office, and she could use another car to draw their attention while arranging for a different vehicle to take Fan Yu Ling to the hotel.
Fan Yu Ling, not wanting her address to be discovered by reporters, agreed to Man Yue's plan. In the car, Man Yue made small talk with Fan Yu Ling and mentioned the Casoli shoe exhibition. Without hesitation, Fan Yu Ling revealed that the limited edition bow high heels were hers. Zhu Bai Zhong lost track of Fan Yu Ling’s car while following her, and the people Huo Jian Kun sent to tail her discovered that her car had entered Pinnacle Investments. However, Huo Jian Kun did not report this accurately to Zhuo Hao Tian, as he was secretly collaborating with Zhuo Shi Qi, betraying Zhuo Hao Tian. Fan Yu Ling was also part of Zhuo Shi Qi's camp, meaning her backing was Zhuo Shi Qi himself.
Yu Man Yue deliberately sent the high heels to Fan Yu Ling and, while Fan Yu Ling was away, checked the shoe size, discovering it was a 39.
