Episode 5 recap: Bian Jie discovered Jin Man Fu's secret.
Qin Yong found out that Wang Shi Tu had done a paternity test for Bian Jie, and he angrily went to confront Wang Shi Tu, asking him if he had any issues with Qin Yong, otherwise why would he have hidden this from him. Wang Shi Tu explained to Qin Yong that although the facts were as such, the family members had no doubts, and moreover, the child Bian Jie had not done anything wrong, so that's why he had kept it hidden.
Du Yi returned to Zhao Yang, and he was summoned to the police station. His account was the same as Bian Jie's, except that when he woke up, he was in a black coal mine in Ta County. For these three years, he had been digging coal, and the calluses on his hands were proof of that. The policewoman interrogating him tried to trick Du Yi, saying that his account differed from Bian Jie's, but Du Yi was certain that he had not misremembered, and that it was Bian Jie who had the wrong recollection. Qin Yong and the others were temporarily fooled, because they did not know that Du Yi had been in contact with his father, and thus knew how Bian Jie had described the scene of his disappearance that year.
Wang Shi Tu felt that although Du Yi and Bian Jie's testimonies were consistent, they would have to wait for Wang Shuai to return before determining if this was a case of human trafficking. For now, they could not easily draw a conclusion. Qin Yong agreed with Wang Shi Tu's assessment. Wang Shi Tu found it suspicious because he already knew from Bian Jie that the latter's previous account was fabricated, and now Du Yi was saying the same thing - how did he know that?
Bian Jie was also very shocked to hear this news, as he was certain that this was his first time coming to Zhao Yang County. Bian Jie recalled that besides telling Wang Shi Tu about this, he had also told Du Yi's father and Wang Jia. Wang Shi Tu understood the reason behind this. Wang Shi Tu wanted Bian Jie to tell his story. Bian Jie had once been called Xiao Qi, and at the time, he was in a human trafficker's hideout, working for Boss Qing. But he could not bear to see the kidnapped children go hungry, so he gave them some food, and was punished by Boss Qing for it.
However, he could barely survive with Jie'er at Boss Qing's place, because the money they turned in was not enough, so Jie'er would go out to steal. But they were eventually discovered, and Boss Qing told them to swallow the blade to escape. At the last moment of his life, Jie'er realized he had been deceived. It was then that Xiao Qi had the chance to escape, and on the bus he met Bian Yu Tang, and the rest Wang Shi Tu already knew.
However, Xiao Qi vaguely felt that Jin Man Fu seemed to know he was not the real Bian Jie, because he had too many different living habits from Bian Jie, but Jin Man Fu seemed not to care, but instead kept telling him how to do things, and Xiao Qi always felt that Jin Man Fu was a bit strange.
At night, when he returned home, Xiao Qi wrote a letter to his mother. He didn't want to deceive his mother. When he went to his mother's room, he noticed that Jin Man Fu was about to come in, so he hid under the bed. Through the glass, he saw that Jin Man Fu deliberately switched the medicine his mother was taking. The next day, Xiao Qi went to the hospital to ask the doctor about the situation, and then brought back new medication for his mother, reminding her to only take the pills without letters on them, as they would help her recover faster. To prevent Jin Man Fu from finding out, he hid the medication, and only he and his mother knew about it.
Xiao Qi burned the letter he had written, but he didn't know that this letter had already been seen by Jin Man Fu and Yan Zi. At night, Jin Man Fu talked about setting up a branch factory, and wanted Xiao Qi to manage it, but Xiao Qi refused because he was worried about Jin Man Fu taking care of his mother. Later, Jin Man Fu talked to Xiao Qi privately, and directly told him that as long as he obeys, everything will be fine, because what Jin Man Fu can provide is something that others can't get even after a lifetime of hard work.
Du Yi met Xiao Qi and had dinner with him. Du Yi told Xiao Qi that he knew he was not the real Bian Jie, but he would not report Xiao Qi because he only wanted money. When Du Yi left Zhao Yang, it was also because he had signed a high-interest loan. Du Yi wanted 5,000 yuan, which was not a small amount at the time, but Jin Man Fu had it. Nominally, Xiao Qi was his son, so Jin Man Fu's money was also his.
When Xiao Qi returned home at night, he found no one there, so he went to the factory and saw Jin Man Fu's car. He went to Jin Man Fu's office and accidentally overheard the conversation between Jin Man Fu and Yan Zi. He was frightened to find out that Jin Man Fu was trying to use him, and if he didn't obey, Jin Man Fu would eliminate him. Xiao Qi was terrified and ran back home, although Jin Man Fu did not see the person eavesdropping outside his office at first, he did see Xiao Qi's hurried return home.
Xiao Qi was very smart. He climbed through the window of his mother's bedroom to get in. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yan Zi, and then heard his mother's voice on the bed. He was frightened, but his mother seemed to be helping him, saying she couldn't sleep and asked her son to keep her company. This gave Xiao Qi a reason to explain to Yan Zi why he was there. After closing the door, Xiao Qi was so scared that he collapsed on the floor, he was very afraid.
Bian Mei Zhen hugged him and kept comforting him.
