Chapter Summaries

Qi Si questioned Bo Fuyu’s unquestioning trust in Lin Weiwei, then watched him beg Bo Yanqi for another serving of Brocade Deep Pavilion’s signature dish. Bo Fuyu revealed that he needed it for a meeting with real estate developer Zhuang Hong, leaving Qi Si surprised that he was seeking Zhuang Hong’s favor.

• Qi Si asked Bo Fuyu whether he believed everything Lin Weiwei told him, and Bo Fuyu insisted she would never lie to him.
• Bo Fuyu asked Bo Yanqi to give him the signature dish, but Bo Yanqi demanded a reason and ordered the manager to remove him when he refused to explain.

• Qi Si wondered why Bo Fuyu was currying favor with Zhuang Hong, and Bo Fuyu looked humiliated.

Bo Fuyu tried to obtain Qi Si’s signature dish to help him secure a deal with Zhuang Hong over valuable land in North Suburb, but Bo Yanqi and Qi Si challenged his excuses. Qi Si then asked Bo Fuyu about a kindergarten accident involving an overturned bus, and Bo Fuyu’s reaction drew Bo Yanqi’s suspicion.

• Bo Yanqi explained that Zhuang Hong’s North Suburb land had become valuable after officials announced plans to develop the area.

Qi Si questioned Bo Fuyu about a childhood bus rollover and became convinced that Bo Fuyu remembered it but was hiding the truth. Bo Yanqi hinted that Lin Hu’s departure was connected to Bo Fuyu, while Bo Fuyu waited in vain for Zhuang Hong as the dish he had taken was ruined by repeated reheating.

• Bo Fuyu denied remembering the kindergarten bus rollover, but Qi Si’s questions and Bo Fuyu’s reactions convinced Qi Si that the accident had really happened and Bo Fuyu was concealing what he knew.
• Bo Yanqi asked Bo Fuyu whether he remembered Lin Hu and told him to ask Zhong Ming why Lin Hu had resigned.

• Bo Fuyu had the dish reheated while waiting for Zhuang Hong, but Zhuang Hong never arrived and the food became mushy and discolored.
• The waiter told Bo Fuyu the dish could not be reheated again, then reported to the manager that Bo Fuyu’s expected guest had not shown up.

Qi Si spent the night with Bo Yanqi while Qi Wang was away, and the fallout from Xu Wenyan’s exposed scandals ruined his career and brought unwanted attention to Zhou Xuxu. Zhou Xuxu struggled with being recognized and approached by people after the livestream.

• Bo Yanqi brought Qi Si home to a dark house, and Qi Si decided not to investigate why Qi Wang was out.
• Bo Yanqi persuaded Qi Si to stay in his room, and they spent the night together.
• After Zhou Xuxu and Gu Yun exposed Xu Wenyan during the livestream, Xu Wenyan lost his fans, faced contract penalties, and had his contract termination proposed by Xu Lukuo.

• Zhou Xuxu gained widespread recognition from the livestream, and strangers began approaching her while her colleagues treated her differently.

• Liu Yan showed Zhou Pingting a picture of Zhou Xuxu and remarked that her eyes looked like Zhou Pingting’s mother’s.

Zhou Pingting hired Chen Chen to investigate Zhou Xuxu’s family, and Yu Zhen suggested he look into Zhou Pingting’s parents for a possible connection. Yu Zhen then searched the detective agency’s archives until Qi Wang called to pick her up.

• Zhou Pingting noticed Zhou Xuxu’s resemblance to Xia Mo and hired Chen Chen to investigate Zhou Xuxu, especially her family and biological parents.

• Yu Zhen searched the archives until Qi Wang called and said he would come pick her up.

• Yu Zhen missed Qi Wang’s call while searching the archives, then met him downstairs and explained that she had found some information but exhausted the agency’s records.

• Yu Zhen arrived alone in G City and unexpectedly found Qi Si at her hotel.

Meanwhile, Xiang Qianchong chose G City as the setting for the next episode of Go! All-Round Charge!, leaving Qi Si to discover that the production crew would be there too.

• Yu Zhen warned Qi Si to avoid the West District and Old City District and to travel with Bo Yanqi.

• Xiang Qianchong chose G City as the location for the show's next episode, and Qi Si realized the crew would be there too.

Qi Si persuaded Bo Yanqi to take him to the West District after Bo Yanqi initially resisted his plans to visit G City’s more dangerous districts. They arrived in the White Family’s territory, where Qi Si learned that Bai Hanzhou was the White Family’s only member, while Bo Yanqi avoided explaining his reaction to the Old City District.

• Qi Si insisted on sightseeing in G City, but Bo Yanqi strongly objected to him visiting the Old City District and the West District.

• Bo Yanqi told Qi Si that Bai Hanzhou was the White Family’s only member and that the Jiang Family’s internal conflict left it little time to manage the Old City District.
• When Qi Si again asked whether Bo Yanqi had enemies in the Old City District, Bo Yanqi denied it and told him they had arrived.

• Bo Yanqi told Qi Si that his colorful drink, called “Disguise,” was zero-proof juice that tasted like alcohol.
• Qi Si asked Bo Yanqi what he had done in G City before.

Qi Si questioned Bo Yanqi about his past in G City and learned that Bo Yanqi had clashed with people from the Old City District before returning to A City. Qi Si realized the men in the bar were likely Bai Hanzhou’s people and had feared Bo Yanqi, then stood up to leave without getting a direct answer.

• Bo Yanqi said he had moved to G City for work, made money, and fought with people from the Old City District.

Qi Si left the bar after an apparent argument with Bo Yanqi, who hurried after him, while Li An and the West District crew watched in disbelief. Li An later learned Bo Yanqi would meet him after Qi Si left, and Bai Hanzhou became eager to hear the details of the argument.

• Bo Yanqi chased after Qi Si as Qi Si left the bar, astonishing the West District crew who had been pretending not to know Bo Yanqi.

• Bai Hanzhou told Li An that Bo Yanqi would find an opportunity to see him after Qi Si left.
• Li An said Bo Yanqi and Qi Si seemed to have argued at the bar, prompting Bai Hanzhou to stop working and demand every detail.

Bai Hanzhou learned that Bo Yanqi had argued with a young master and worried that the fight might keep Bo Yanqi from visiting Li An. After teasing Li An about it, Bai Hanzhou reflected on how Bo Yanqi had left Li An in G City so he could build a life of his own.

• Li An told Bai Hanzhou that Bo Yanqi and the young master drank disguised liquor, argued, and then ran off in different directions.
• Bai Hanzhou suggested Bo Yanqi might not come see Li An, and Li An panicked because Bo Yanqi had only promised Bai Hanzhou.

• Qi Si asked his driver to shake Bo Yanqi’s taxi, and the drivers sped through traffic as Qi Si was jolted around the back seat.

Qi Si was taken on a reckless high-speed drive by Old Six, who revealed that he had been sent to bring Qi Si somewhere for a chat. Old Six assured him that Bo Yanqi would be left alone, leaving Qi Si to suspect that Bo Yanqi held significant influence in G City and wonder who was behind the abduction.

• Qi Si begged Old Six to slow down as he sped along a public road, while Bo Yanqi calmly pursued them in another car.

• Old Six took Qi Si onto a different road and refused to explain their destination, confirming Qi Si’s suspicion that the ride was a setup.
• Qi Si asked whether the other driver was working with Old Six, then decided that going along was safer than trying to escape at speed.
• Old Six said they only wanted to invite Qi Si for a chat and assured him that no one would touch Bo Yanqi.
• Qi Si inferred that Bo Yanqi had high status in G City and wondered whether someone from the Jiang Family was behind Old Six.

Qi Si was taken by the Jiang Family into the Old City District, where he realized they might be using him to threaten Bo Yanqi. He agreed to meet Master Jiang while waiting for help, then fought back when A Wei shoved him.

• Old Six drove Qi Si through the rundown Old City District, and Qi Si suspected the Jiang Family had brought him there to pressure Bo Yanqi.

• A Wei attacked Qi Si, but A Zhong blocked him and reminded him of Master Jiang's orders.
• A Zhong apologized to Qi Si and led him upstairs to meet Jiang Honghu.
• Qi Si recognized Jiang Honghu and wondered whether the summons concerned Bo Yanqi or Yu Zhen's investigation into the kidnapping eighteen years earlier.
• Jiang Honghu asked Qi Si to persuade Bo Yanqi to return and promised him a generous reward.
• Qi Si was dumbfounded by Jiang Honghu's request and wondered if he had heard correctly.
