Spoiler Alert

Buckle up, folks—this episode served drama hotter than a malfunctioning meth lab. Let’s break down the emotional grenades and rooftop showdowns.

Kidnapping 101 (With Extra Trauma):

Shen Yi drags poor Han Jun to an abandoned factory, where our terrified victim finally realizes why he’s been abducted. The reason? Han Jun had mailed incriminating photos of the late Han Kun to Shen Ye (y’know, normal family bonding stuff). Turns out Han Jun’s no fan of his shady relatives either, but Shen Yi ain’t buying the sob story. Cue a terrifying near-hanging scene interrupted by SWAT-level police sirens. Han Jun survives, but let’s just say he’ll be avoiding dark alleys for life.

Rooftop Confessions Gone Wrong:

Shen Ye confronts Shen Yi on a rooftop straight out of a noir film. The twisted father-son dynamic hits peak tragedy when Shen Yi reveals he raised Shen Ye after rescuing him from a fire-induced amnesia childhood. "I just wanted you to have a happy life!" he pleads… right before dropping bombshells about Han Pei framing Xu Qingsong years ago. Shen Yi’s poetic exit? Leaping off the roof mid-monologue after Shen Ye whips out handcuffs. Yikes.

Cold Case Puzzle Pieces:

In the aftermath, Shen Ye and Xu Tongsheng explain to Chief Chang Zhen how Xu Qingsong accidentally stumbled onto the Ducheng Processing Plant’s drug operation decades ago. Han Pei (ever the overachieving villain) swapped the Xu family’s water heater to stage an explosion that left Shen Ye’s mom, He Xi, with amnesia. Shen Ye’s been quietly investigating ever since—while living with the man who caused it all. Talk about awkward family dinners.

Side Plots & Suspicious Desserts:

  • Grandma Shen refuses to leave her retirement home, dropping wisdom about "sticking together." Cue group hug.
  • Jin Chun treats Du Danning to a meal where Du gets weirdly sentimental about her "perfect life." Jin eye-rolls so hard she nearly sprains a muscle.
  • Post-credits twist: Du Danning dies from a gas leak hours later. Jin Chun ugly-cries in a taxi. Was it an accident… or another Han family hit? Xu Tongsheng sure ain’t buying Han Pei’s "death" either—his conspiracy board still screams SUSPICIOUS AF.

Final Verdict: This episode tied up arcs with a vengeance (literally), but that last-minute gas leak cliffhanger? Chef’s kiss. Han Pei’s ghost (or not-ghost) better watch his back.
