Undercover Tensions
Detective Zhu Huaiyang’s informant updates him on the stalled drug operations but drops a lead about a big deal involving a guy named A Wu in Binjiang. Zhu senses something’s off with his snitch and immediately goes full Sherlock, asking if he’s relapsed. The informant swears on his mom’s life he’s clean. Sure, buddy. We’ve heard that before.
Daddy’s Little SWAT Princess
Over at SWAT team HQ, Lin Wanru and Tang Xin are living their best lives—washing cars, cracking jokes, and basking in parental freedom (thanks to Tang Xin’s genius "just love-bomb your parents" strategy). But Lin’s zen moment gets bulldozed by a call from her drill sergeant dad, who demands she come home stat or face double training. Cue Lin attempting a cringe-worthy撒娇 (think: awkward kitten meows), only for her dad to mistake it for a sore throat. The squad roasts her mercilessly. Later, at home, Lin tries negotiating with her emotionally constipated father, who’s convinced she’s slacking. Spoiler: It goes as well as a tofu cannon.
Delivery Disasters & Betrayals
Meanwhile, Han Ning—local bad-decision enthusiast—joins Guan Tingting on a shady delivery run. Things go sideways when they nearly crash into Ye Zhen’s patrol car. But the real trouble starts when drug lord Wen Ge kidnaps Han, using him as a human shield to pull off a drug deal. Zhu Huaiyang’s team arrives too late, letting Wen Ge and A Wu slip away. Classic cop-show chaos.
Bullets and Bad Vibes
During a raid, Lin Wanru’s instincts lead her to a suspect… who promptly shoots her. Yikes. Despite bleeding out, she points cops toward the escape route. Ye Zhen’s team tracks the trail to a car—driven by none other than Han Ning, who’s now Public Enemy No. 1. The kid claims he was coerced, but his dead-eyed "IDGAF" stare has the SWAT team side-eyeing him hard.
Hospital Drama 101
At the hospital, Han’s parents hover anxiously until Guan Tingting arrives. Cue family fireworks: Han snaps at his mom, dad calls him ungrateful, and Han drops the ultimate angst bomb—"Why’d you even have me?!" Parents storm out. Alone with Guan, Han tearfully confesses: He helped the criminals escape. Dun-dun-DUN!
The Big Questions
- Is Zhu’s informant really clean?
- Will Lin Wanru ever escape her dad’s boot camp expectations?
- And why does Han Ning keep making choices worse than a TikTok dare?
This episode’s all about loyalty—to family, duty, and terrible life decisions. Stay tuned for more morally gray messiness!
