• Ning Chuan decided to look for a B-grade breathing technique and wondered whether the school would let him learn one for free.

• Ning Chuan realized the Wei father and son had arranged the accusation in advance and that his recording might be his only defense.

Ning Chuan refused to hand over evidence to officers he suspected of working with the Wei Financial Group, and he forced them to follow the law when they threatened to arrest him. At the Anmin Police Station, he called Lu Zhan for help, then was placed in a holding cell while his anger at Wei Bohu and Wei Qiance turned to killing intent.

• Captain Liu and the young officer tried to handcuff Ning Chuan, but his murderous presence made them hesitate before they aimed their guns at him.

• Lu Mengyue told Ning Chuan that the lawsuit could drag on, and Ning Chuan played a recording that exposed the Wei father and son’s scheme.
