The Nursing Center began admitting patients for a new treatment round, and Good Scenery brought her mother to stay there despite her mother’s objections to the arrangement at the manor. Popular idol Xu Xiaofu arrived for treatment but resisted the center’s identity checks, and the chapter ended when nursing students recognized him.

• Ren Zhiyuan found the mother solution missing from his hidden safe after a thief bypassed the security system.
• Gao Qiang arrived, learned that Ren Zhiyuan had not called the police, and contacted Feng Jun.

The chapter left Feng Jun following the thief’s trail as the others examined a crime scene that had already been disturbed.

• Feng Jun used Time Reversal to identify Shan Benxin as Yamamoto Shushin and trace his aura to a location roughly eight hundred meters from the Recovery Center.
• Feng Jun left alone to follow the aura, while Gao Qiang refused to let Ren Zhiyuan’s people follow and said he would go himself.
• Gazi, Wang Haifeng, Xu Leigang, Zhang Caixin, and Gu Jiahui went to the Recovery Center, where they found the Brocade Guards arguing with the gatekeeper.
• Zhang Caixin allowed the Brocade Guards to enter under the security staff’s supervision, and both sides went to Ren Zhiyuan’s office to gather information.
• The Brocade Guards complained that people had disturbed the crime scene, and Xu Leigang said solving the case would depend on investigation rather than scene preservation.

Feng Jun pursued Yamamoto Shushin after the thief fled the estate, while the Brocade Guards offered surveillance help in exchange for the stolen infrared stealth suit and ultrasonic detector. The chase led to the recovery of the hidden equipment, and the Brocade Guards asked Feng Jun’s group to wait so they could collect it.

• Feng Jun found Yamamoto Shushin’s abandoned electric bike and continued the pursuit by car, following the direction of his escape from Yang City.
• Wang Haifeng received a call from the Brocade Guards, who offered traffic surveillance results in exchange for the infrared stealth suit and handheld ultrasonic detector.

• Feng Jun searched near the turnaround point and found a buried sack containing the infrared stealth suit and handheld ultrasonic tester.
• The Brocade Guards asked Wang Haifeng’s group to stay at the site and hand over the recovered items.

Feng Jun tracked Yamamoto Shushin to Yang City Railway Station, where the authorities arrested him, but he died by biting a poison capsule before Feng Jun could question him.

• Gao Qiang told Wang Haifeng that he had moved a rock near the buried items, while the group continued tracing their origins.
• Feng Jun used Time Reversal to discover that Yamamoto Shushin had abandoned his car and fled toward Yang City on an electric bike.
• Feng Jun tracked Yamamoto Shushin to the railway station and saw railway police arrest him as Shan Benxin, but Yamamoto Shushin regained control of his body and killed himself with a hidden poison capsule.
• Feng Jun left the station without retrieving the remaining half bottle of mother liquor, while Xu Leigang failed to persuade the luggage storage staff to open the locker containing three bottles.
• Three people approached the storage area, and one ordered the staff to open locker number five in the third row.

Feng Jun’s group seized Yamamoto Shushin’s stored luggage and clashed with the officials who had tried to take it, while Feng Jun warned Yu Zhiyuan that Luo Hua could use Soul Search. After visiting Baizong Mountain, Feng Jun refused a Brocade Guards agent’s request to use the technique, recognizing that her approach was a test.

• Feng Jun’s group knocked out three men retrieving Yamamoto Shushin’s suitcase and left them at a public security booth while taking the luggage.
• Wang Haifeng argued with the officials who had sent the men, and Feng Jun later told Yu Zhiyuan that Luo Hua had Soul Search methods.

• A Brocade Guards agent named Lin asked Feng Jun to use Soul Search on smuggling suspects, but he refused, citing the technique’s harm and his principles.
• Lin reported that Feng Jun was cautious about using Soul Search, while Feng Jun realized she had been probing him.

Feng Jun brought Zhang Caixin and Chen Shengwang to interrogate two suspected accomplices of Shan Benxin and revealed that one was the Mud people spy Okamura Yoko, also known as Yang Fengli. He let Chen Shengwang demonstrate Soul Search with a talisman for Lin Beauty’s group, ending with Chen exhausted and warning that the technique could harm its user.

• Feng Jun arrived at the Recovery Center with Zhang Caixin and Chen Shengwang to question two suspected accomplices of Yamamoto Shushin.
• Feng Jun identified the skinny prisoner as Mud people spy Okamura Yoko, also known as Okamura Shou and Yang Fengli, and Lin Beauty obtained approval for a Soul Search despite its risks.
• Lin Beauty asked to observe the Soul Search, and Feng Jun agreed to have Chen Shengwang demonstrate with a Qi Refining Stage Soul-Search Talisman.
• Chen Shengwang searched Okamura Yoko for about forty minutes while Lin Beauty’s group watched, and Feng Jun stopped him before his sea of consciousness could crack.
• Chen Shengwang admitted he had used a Soul-Search Talisman rather than knowing the Soul Search Technique and warned that the process could turn someone into an idiot.

Chen Shengwang used a Soul-Search Talisman on Kawamura Yoko and revealed that a Mairui pharmaceutical company had hired Yamamoto Shushin to investigate Luo Hua’s treatments. Feng Jun learned who was targeting him, then had Fu Jianxiong shown the ruined Kawamura Yoko and asked whether he would cooperate.

• Chen Shengwang explained the limits and risks of using the Soul-Search Talisman, then recounted the information he had obtained from Kawamura Yoko.
• Feng Jun and Lin Beauty learned that a Mairui pharmaceutical company had paid Yamamoto Shushin to investigate Luo Hua, while Kawamura Yoko had separately sent intelligence to Mud Country.
• Feng Jun identified Bairui Pharmaceuticals as the party targeting him and declined Lin Beauty’s request to keep the Soul-Search Talisman.
• Feng Jun told Lin Beauty’s people to interrogate Fu Jianxiong and warned that Zhang Caixin could use a Soul-Search Talisman if he refused to talk.
• Fu Jianxiong saw Kawamura Yoko incapacitated in the interrogation chair and was asked whether he wanted to suffer the same fate.

After learning that Fu Jianxiong’s leaked information had helped Shan Benxin target Luo Hua’s safe, Feng Jun considered how to retaliate against Bairui Pharmaceuticals. Yu Qingzhu began arranging a plan to short the company, while her contacts warned that the move would require substantial independent capital.

• Fu Jianxiong confessed that he had gathered intelligence for Shan Benxin, including information about Luo Hua’s Recovery Center and its safe, which helped Shan Benxin prepare to break into it.
• Feng Jun informed Ren Zhiyuan about Fu Jianxiong, and Ren decided not to pay the safe manufacturer’s remaining balance.
• Lin Beauty asked Feng Jun not to cause trouble for Bairui Pharmaceuticals while it pursued a major project in Xia Nation, and she also asked about his Soul-Search Talisman.
• Feng Jun considered shorting Bairui Pharmaceuticals, and Zhang Caixin offered to help him obtain a Mairui stock account by involving Yu Qingzhu.
• Yu Qingzhu agreed to investigate Bairui’s ownership and market position, then contacted a friend about overseas investments.
• Yu Qingzhu’s contacts advised that any major short position required ample capital owned outright, and one offered financing of twice her collateral based on her family’s standing.

Feng Jun arranged to short Bairui Pharmaceuticals using gold-backed financing, while the stock kept rising and shares proved difficult to borrow. After Bairui’s laboratory was robbed in Mairui Country, Feng Jun appeared to still be at Luohua Manor, leaving Lin Beauty wondering who had carried out the theft.

• Feng Jun decided to use thirty tons of gold as collateral and have Yu Qingzhu arrange a short position in Bairui Pharmaceuticals.
• Sister Hua’s side secured borrowed shares and offered to increase leverage, while Bairui stock continued rising despite weakness in the broader market.
