After meticulously examining surveillance footage, Li Dawei identified a young woman in the passenger seat of Bao Daquan's car, leading him to believe she was hitchhiking back to her hometown. The footage showed Bao Daquan and the woman, later identified as Miss Yang, chatting and laughing on the way up Lotus Mountain, but only Bao Daquan was seen descending. Suspecting foul play, Li Dawei immediately took Xia Jie to Lotus Mountain late that night to search.
Navigating the treacherous and narrowing mountain paths, Xia Jie suggested they get out and search on foot. Their search through the dense woods led them to a grim discovery: a battered and unconscious Miss Yang. Xia Jie was visibly shaken by the sight. They rushed Miss Yang to the hospital, where medical staff worked tirelessly to save her life. Xia Jie remained deeply distraught, and Li Dawei quietly stayed by her side, offering support.
Meanwhile, Cao Jianjun and Yang Shu continued their stakeout until late that night. When Bao Daquan arrived furtively at his ex-girlfriend's residence, they swiftly moved in and apprehended him. Other officers quickly arrived to take Bao Daquan into custody. Following the intense efforts of the medical team, Miss Yang's condition stabilized. Director Song, accompanied by Wang Shouyi and other officials, visited Miss Yang at the hospital.
Director Song explained that Bao Daquan, a desperate gambler heavily in debt, had abducted Miss Yang after learning she earned a significant income selling cosmetics. He then attacked her with a wrench on Lotus Mountain. Director Song praised the police station's accurate premonition of Bao Daquan's subsequent actions, which prevented further harm, and noted that Cao Jianjun was instrumental in both discovering the initial lead and making the arrest.
He resolved to officially commend Cao Jianjun, recognizing his previous unacknowledged contributions. A commendation ceremony was held at the police station where Miss Yang's grateful family presented Cao Jianjun with a banner, thanking him for protecting the community. Amidst the fanfare and media interviews, Cao Jianjun gave an impassioned speech, introducing his apprentice Yang Shu, who briefly expressed his pride in learning from such an exemplary officer.
As Wang Shouyi returned to the station and witnessed the celebration, he encountered Captain Luo of the Criminal Investigation Team, who congratulated him on the successful apprehension of Bao Daquan. Despite the praise, Wang Shouyi managed only a strained smile, deflecting the compliments and appearing less than thrilled. Later, Wang Shouyi called Ye Wei to his office, instructing her to summon Li Dawei and Xia Jie.
He sternly reprimanded the two rookies, expressing his displeasure at their unauthorized actions, despite the positive outcome. He emphasized that police officers must strictly adhere to orders, stating that their independent operation, though leading to a rescue, violated protocol. When pressed, Li Dawei honestly admitted to having been eager for a commendation, though he also affirmed his genuine desire to save the victim. Wang Shouyi acknowledged Li Dawei's candor but reiterated that, as uniformed officers, obeying orders was paramount.
He then ordered them each to write an 18,000-word self-criticism. Xia Jie, refusing special treatment, accepted the same penalty. Before dismissing them, Wang Shouyi specifically warned Xia Jie not to mention the incident to her mother. Ye Wei, the instructor, perceived Wang Shouyi's deeper frustration, realizing his anger extended to Cao Jianjun's similar disregard for unified command.
She encouraged him to consider Cao Jianjun's motivations, suggesting that his eagerness to prove himself, especially to his in-laws, might be a driving factor. Wang Shouyi, initially resistant, viewing Cao Jianjun as a "showman," eventually conceded to submit a commendation report for him, swayed by Ye Wei's argument that, despite his flaws, Cao Jianjun's substantial contribution warranted recognition, and that past commendations had often eluded him.
Subsequently, Cao Jianjun was awarded a second-class merit and nominated as a candidate for "Top Ten Police Officer." His colleagues celebrated his achievement. However, Wang Shouyi remained concerned, believing Cao Jianjun’s actions were driven by a desire for personal glory, and that such accolades might lead to overconfidence. He advised Ye Wei to exercise caution regarding the "Top Ten Police Officer" nomination and instructed her to ensure colleagues did not inflate Cao Jianjun with excessive flattery.
Cao Jianjun proudly brought his second-class merit medal home. Zhou Hui was ecstatic and insisted they immediately visit her parents to show off his accomplishment. At her parents' house, her mother, whose demeanor had always been cold towards Cao Jianjun, now offered effusive praise. Soon, her true agenda was revealed: she and Sun Youguang, Zhou Hui's brother-in-law, asked Cao Jianjun for a favor.
Sun Youguang explained his business failure, which led to significant debt and his inclusion on the court's list of "discredited persons," severely restricting his travel and impacting his wife and daughter. He requested Cao Jianjun's help to "bend the rules" and remove him from the list. Cao Jianjun patiently explained that police and court systems are separate and independent, making it impossible for him to interfere.
His mother-in-law reacted with furious indignation, lambasting Cao Jianjun for being unhelpful and questioning the purpose of having a police officer in the family if he couldn't use his position to their advantage. Unable to tolerate her mother's hypocrisy and unfair criticism, Zhou Hui fiercely defended Cao Jianjun, exposing Sun Youguang's past indiscretions, including infidelity, and rebuking them for asking Cao Jianjun to compromise his integrity and career.
She declared they were unwelcome and angrily left with Cao Jianjun and Yaya. Still fuming in the car, Zhou Hui swore she would never return to her mother's house. Deeply touched by her unwavering support, Cao Jianjun stealthily kissed her, expressing his profound gratitude for having the best wife in the world. Later, feeling the weight of his recent accomplishment, Cao Jianjun invited his colleagues to celebrate over dinner.
However, one after another, they offered excuses, citing duties or suggesting a later, grander celebration for a first-class merit. Cao Jianjun grew increasingly frustrated, sensing a lack of respect. His attempts to insist were cut short by an urgent call for a fight, and everyone quickly dispersed, leaving him alone. Still stewing, he called his old friends, including Old Ding, for a dinner.
At the gathering, Cao Jianjun drank heavily, waxing philosophical about how a man’s true worth lies in the respect earned through genuine achievement, not mere wealth or fame. Yang Shu arrived and tried to remind his master of the station's strict no-drinking policy, even off-duty. Cao Jianjun brushed off the warning, insisting his happiness was profound and warranted celebration, and that anyone refusing to drink was disrespecting him.
