Episode 17 recap: Ling Long saved Song Shi Jie.
Song Shi Jie spoke emotionlessly in the courtroom, appearing quite arrogant. Song A Jiu couldn't bear it any longer and punched Song Shi Jie. Song Shi Jie was knocked down but didn't hold Song A Jiu responsible, insisting that Xiao Feng's testimony needed further correction.After watching the witnesses being taken away, Adrian felt pleased and treated Song Shi Jie as his own, discussing everything with him. Song Shi Jie asked Adrian to have a meal alone and took the opportunity to get him drunk before hastily leaving. Adrian, who was intoxicated, didn't realize that he was in the courtroom and carelessly revealed that he would have a drink when he felt homesick and that womanizing was a prominent trait of the English. Adrian suddenly realized he had misspoke, became somewhat sober, and became infuriated when he heard Song Shi Jie accusing him of being heartless.
Song Shi Jie boldly admitted the crimes committed by Adrian in front of the judge and was forcibly choked by Adrian. He temporarily fainted on the ground. The adults saw that Song Shi Jie had fainted and hurriedly dismissed everyone, planning to continue the trial another day. When Song Shi Jie woke up and saw Tan Yue, he wasn't too surprised; he simply knew that Tan Yue had come to settle the score.
Despite the threats, Song Shi Jie didn't take the matter seriously. He knew there was poison in the cup next to him, but he had no choice but to drink it. Picking up the cup, Song Shi Jie thought of Ling Long and decided to stay alert, knowing that he would face a fierce battle.
Master Tan slamming the cup was just a scare tactic, an attempt to assassinate Song Shi Jie. Song Shi Jie wasn't afraid and knew that Ling Long was nearby upon seeing the toad. With a single sound of a blade, Ling Long appeared and killed the black-clothed men nearby. However, the enemy had too many men, and Ling Long was seriously injured while trying to save Song Shi Jie.
He Shou Xin was there to assist Ling Long and lead away the enemies. Ling Long was severely wounded, and Song Shi Jie, enduring heartache, complained that Ling Long had already left and wondered why she had returned just to sacrifice herself. Ling Long straightforwardly told Song Shi Jie that she came back because she couldn't be without him.
As the pursuers suddenly realized they had fallen into a trap, they quickly turned back. He Shou Xin noticed and hurriedly went to inform others while pretending to be an extraordinary master, but the opponents saw through his deception. After Song Shi Jie saw the Qilin Arm help him deal with those villains, he worried about Xiao, who was thinking of Ling Long.
When Song Shi Jie learned that Ling Long was actually the second-in-command and the other person was the head of the gang, he couldn't accept it and fainted.
Song Shi Jie felt a bit disappointed when he heard that Ling Long marrying him was just a mission. Xiao Feng and the others suddenly realized their misunderstanding of Song Shi Jie and felt somewhat ashamed.
Song Shi Jie believed that those evil people must receive the punishment they deserve and should not be allowed to escape so easily. Tan Xiao Yang was in a desperate situation after being beaten and sought a hitman to kill Song Shi Jie and the others. Song Shi Jie wanted to try to find evidence of the rape cases, and He Shou Xin also discovered that the corpse was missing, indicating that something significant had happened.
Just as Song Shi Jie found a witness, he was threatened by people from the Tan family, leaving the witness unable to speak. Mr. Liu and the others held signs pretending to observe, intending to infiltrate the investigation. Song Shi Jie believed that there must be a large amount of opium here, and Adrian's notebook contained some Arabic numerals, as well as a foreigner's calendar and time. There must be something fishy going on.
Furthermore, the time for the opium exchange is the 27th, which is not far away. Song Shi Jie felt that knowing the relationship between the two individuals was not enough; they had to find concrete evidence to bring down these people. After Ling Long found the secret underground chamber hidden by those individuals, she opened the locked door and discovered that it was filled with the ill-gotten money of corrupt officials and a lot of opium.
He Shou Xin, who was watching two people hastily packing up the money, heard footsteps and hurriedly told them to leave. Just as the three of them were about to be discovered, Right Minister, sitting nearby, noticed them and instructed them to follow him hurriedly. Initially, Right Minister didn't want to get involved in this matter, but upon learning that a large amount of opium was going to be transported tomorrow afternoon, he decided to take charge of the situation.
They are going to court tomorrow, but without concrete evidence, they don't know what to do. It's really difficult to make something out of nothing. Song Shi Jie was afraid that the people would once again throw rotten vegetables at him. However, the people knew that they were the ones who harmed Song Shi Jie. Wu Shi Jie saw the fan handed to him at noon, which had "King of Justice" written on it, and knew that they had understood his good intentions.
