Episode 12 recap: The Truth behind Zheng Ying's Sacrifice.
Under the tree in Chen Jia Dong's home, the remains and belongings of Zheng Ying were unearthed. Among them was a ring given to Zheng Ying by the Li Squad, as well as a bullet casing necklace that Zheng Ying had given to Chen Jia Dong in the past. At that time, when Chen Jia Dong was admitted to university, Zheng Ying presented him with this necklace because the bullet casing was the first one he had fired, symbolizing justice.
Now, this bullet casing is back in Zheng Ying's possession. What does this signify? Moreover, Zheng Ying's remains were found buried in Chen Jia Dong's backyard, which implicates Chen Jia Dong in the matter. Chen Jia Dong was taken to the police station for questioning. He denies being responsible for Zheng Ying's demise and requests to meet Chen Xue Ying. However, Chen Xue Ying, who is currently mentally unstable, has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
When Chen Jia Dong meets her, Chen Xue Ying rushes over and embraces her brother. However, when she recalls their mother's fall from a building, she slaps Chen Jia Dong and runs away. Chen Jia Dong is escorted back to the police station for interrogation. He declares that anyone who dares to harm his sister will pay the price.
Chen Jia Dong confesses that he accidentally killed their mother years ago. At that time, their mother was planning to report Chen Jing Ming for murder. She wanted to seek help from the Li Squad and Zheng Ying. Chen Jia Dong knew that if this matter came to light, their family would have to return to the countryside, undoing all the progress they had made in escaping that quagmire. He didn't want to go back, so when he and his mother were struggling over the evidence, he accidentally pushed her down the stairs.
Since then, Chen Jia Dong has despised Chen Jing Ming. He had contemplated countless ways to kill Chen Jing Ming, but he restrained himself. He wanted Chen Jing Ming to stay alive and suffer. Eventually, he got his revenge on Chen Jing Ming by gaining admission to the industrial university, specializing in ink printing for banknotes. He then got involved with Liu Qing, making him an important figure in Liu Qing's gang because they were involved in counterfeit money production, with ink being the most crucial element.
The Truth about Zheng Ying's Sacrifice.
Years ago, Lei Nai Wu pushed Chen Jing Ming down the stairs, causing him to sprain his foot. It was Chen Jia Dong's idea, as they were planning to make a deal with Lu Sheng. Chen Jia Dong was concerned that Chen Jing Ming might cause trouble during the meeting, so they devised a scheme to prevent him from leaving the house.
However, they never expected that the person they were going to trade with, Lu Sheng, turned out to be Zheng Ying. Zheng Ying's presence meant that the deal had failed. As a result, Chen Jia Dong decided to send Zheng Ying's police photo to Liu Qing. Unexpectedly, Zheng Ying used the excuse of going to the bathroom and saw Chen Jia Dong through the window. The two started chasing and running, eventually reaching the back hill.
Zheng Ying didn't know how Chen Jia Dong knew about Zheng Ying, but he didn't want to give up on Chen Jia Dong. He wanted to bring him back and explain the situation. However, Chen Jia Dong shot Zheng Ying. Initially, he intended to shoot again, but he refrained. He brought the half-dead Zheng Ying back home, intending to kill his own brother in front of Chen Jing Ming.
Chen Jia Dong ordered Chen Jing Ming to kill Zheng Ying, but Chen Jing Ming couldn't do it. He pleaded with Chen Jia Dong to spare Zheng Ying's life, but Chen Jia Dong was like a devil. Ignoring his father's desperate pleas, since Chen Jing Ming couldn't do it, Chen Jia Dong decided to take matters into his own hands.
The truth about Zheng Ying's case has finally come to light. Zheng Dong Yu told Chen Jia Dong that she would be there on the day of his execution. Before Zheng Ying got into trouble all those years ago, he and Gao Yang disappeared for 46 minutes. Gao Yang never revealed the truth all these years. In fact, Zheng Ying's wife was critically ill and close to death, and Gao Yang secretly took him away to the hospital to see his wife one last time.
