Cambrian Period Episode 10 Recap
> Cambrian Period Recap
Upon hearing news reports that Zhan Shili was to be transported to Singapore, Suo Tou became deeply concerned for his safety. Under the soft confinement of Jin Lin, he resorted to force to escape from her residence. Meanwhile, Li Yongji meticulously planned Zhan Shili's transfer, intending to use him as bait to lure out Face. As a precautionary measure, he had an explosive device secretly installed on the escort ambulance.
During a briefing, Li Yongji stressed to his officers the importance of wearing bulletproof vests and explicitly instructed them that if Face were to appear, they should abandon the vehicle and prioritize their own lives. He dismissed a suggestion to increase police presence, reiterating that the primary objective was to capture Face, and urged Officer Cai to trust his judgment and adhere to orders. Tang Yin, concerned for Zhan Shili's well-being, requested to join the escort.
However, Officer Cai Jiayi refused, explaining the mission was too dangerous and that Li Yongji would not approve. Officer Cai also stated that Zhan Shili did not warrant her sympathy, but Tang Yin felt a personal responsibility for his situation. Undeterred, Tang Yin covertly disguised herself as one of the accompanying nurses.
Once inside the ambulance, she called Jian Zi, informing him she was on her way to the airport to ensure his father's safe transfer to Singapore for medical treatment. Jian Zi, realizing Tang Yin was now in danger, expressed to his master that despite Zhan Shili's earlier orders not to intervene, he had to protect Tang Yin. He explained that Tang Yin's phone had died and requested access to a deeper communication network to reactivate her phone's embedded tracker.
After a moment of hesitation and a challenging question about his priorities, his master granted him access, advising him to protect himself and be prepared for unforeseen circumstances. Soon after, Face, revealed to be Suo Tou driving a hijacked police car, launched an assault on the ambulance. The ambulance driver, Da Nian, struggled to evade Suo Tou's relentless pursuit. Li Yongji was then informed that Tang Yin had swapped places with the original nurse.
Deeply alarmed, he immediately ordered Da Nian to stop the ambulance and ensure Tang Yin's safe evacuation. Suo Tou then forced the ambulance off the road, shot and killed Da Nian, and commanded Tang Yin to attend to Zhan Shili, declaring that Zhan Shili must remain alive until the official transfer of his enterprise was complete. Through the ambulance's internal camera, Suo Tou taunted Li Yongji and the police for their perceived incompetence.
Just as Li Yongji prepared to detonate the installed bomb, the ambulance entered a monitoring blind spot, causing the video feed to disappear. Li Yongji promptly reissued his orders, emphasizing that Tang Yin's safety was the absolute top priority for all police units involved in the search. Tang Yin, inside the ambulance, whispered to Zhan Shili to continue feigning sleep, informing him they were now being held by the masked assailant.
Jian Zi, driving his own vehicle, arrived and pursued the ambulance, intent on rescuing both Tang Yin and Zhan Shili. Face (Suo Tou), unable to maneuver further, crashed into a large rock and was rendered unconscious. Jian Zi quickly made his way to the ambulance, where he and Tang Yin shared a profound embrace. Tang Yin reassured him that Zhan Shili was unharmed, and Jian Zi tenderly bandaged her hand, which was bleeding from the ordeal.
Seizing the moment, Jian Zi removed Face's mask, discovering to his great surprise that it was Suo Tou. He then instructed Tang Yin to take his father to the airport via a specific exit, assuring her that the police would not impede her. He explained that he had other matters to attend to and would remain behind. After Tang Yin departed, Jian Zi detonated his own vehicle.
As police units arrived at the scene to conduct a thorough search for Face, Jian Zi and Suo Tou, having swiftly disguised themselves as police officers, took control of a police vehicle and drove away unnoticed by the authorities. Li Yongji, inspecting the crash site, soon realized that Face was actually a police officer, confirming he had been cleverly outmaneuvered. Tang Yin successfully transported Zhan Shili to the airport. Exhausted and shaken, she collapsed into Officer Cai's arms upon arrival.
After she regained consciousness, she learned that Face had escaped and Jian Zi's whereabouts were unknown. Fearing that Jian Zi had been kidnapped by Face, she expressed profound concern for his safety to Officer Cai. Officer Cai, in turn, relayed to a colleague the discovery of an off-road vehicle at the crash site and inquired about the status of any injured individuals. Realizing the implications, he grew concerned that Jian Zi might indeed have been taken hostage.
Meanwhile, Jian Zi brought Suo Tou to a secluded darkroom to treat his injuries. As Jian Zi worked, Suo Tou, observing the brother he grew up with, slowly raised a gun, pointing it at Jian Zi, and in a chilling tone, asked, "Should I call you Jian Zi, or should I call you Face, my dear brother?"
