Fall In Love With A Scientist Episode 23 Recap
> Fall In Love With A Scientist Recap
Qingyi wanted to join the investigation at the zoo. Cui Jing announced that she would be going abroad soon, and before she left, she wished to see a resolution to the matter to have peace of mind, so she also had to go. Seeing that everyone was in agreement, Zhang Yian suggested they all go together. After several days of rotating shifts, there was still no news of Zoey. Yang Lanhang reviewed old photos of Bai Lingling and Zoey.
He observed that Zoey was inactive and did not eat during the day, becoming more active at night. However, the zoo closed at 6 P. M. , making nighttime entry impossible. Ouyang Yifan and Guan Xiaoyu staked out Tang Shun's home all day. In the evening, they finally saw Tang Shun leave and enter the downstairs supermarket. The two followed closely, then feigned an argument in front of him.
Ouyang Yifan accused Guan Xiaoyu of spreading false information about the monkey on Weibo, asserting it was a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment. Tang Shun, concerned, asked about the monkey, falling for their act. Back home, Guan Xiaoyu bragged to Bai Lingling about her impressive acting skills, which convinced Tang Shun that defamation was a serious crime.
They explained that such a charge is typically initiated by the victim, and if the victim drops the complaint, there would be no issue. They reasoned that since Tang Shun was willing to break the law for small gains, he wasn't a "tough nut to crack" and would likely come seeking their forgiveness and leniency. Zheng Minghao finally turned on his phone. Dong Chao called him, asking about the ongoing situation with Bai Lingling.
Zheng Minghao explained that Bai Lingling had called him using Yang Lanhang's phone to apologize for getting him involved. He affirmed that he had given his best effort and had no regrets, but since Bai Lingling had made her choice, he decided to step aside from their affairs. Dong Chao then informed him that the situation with Yang Lanhang and Bai Lingling was snowballing.
Netizens had previously uncovered Zheng Minghao's past pursuit of Bai Lingling, and now they had dug up information about Gate of Heart, leading to a flood of negative comments. Enraged, Zheng Minghao stormed upstairs to his workspace, vowing to "bring him down" as they were now targeting him. Upon his return, Zheng Minghao immediately blended in with the tourists at the zoo and installed night-vision cameras on Monkey Mountain, ensuring clear visibility even at night, especially around a feeding area.
Zheng Minghao acknowledged that while installing cameras wasn't illegal if it respected privacy and public safety, he would likely face criticism and reprimand, but he deemed it worthwhile to find Zoey. Bai Lingling expressed immense gratitude for his help, and Guan Xiaoyu marveled at the genius of the "top minds," feeling they were close to solving the mystery.
Yang Lanhang, learning the software could log in on multiple devices, asked Bai Lingling to inform colleagues to take turns monitoring remotely, eliminating the need to visit the zoo. On their way home, Yang Lanhang admitted to feeling a "little" unhappy about Zheng Minghao helping Bai Lingling, explaining that a man is most attractive when doing what he excels at, and he didn't want Bai Lingling to see Zheng Minghao that way.
Bai Lingling teased him, remarking that even someone as outstanding as her senior could feel a sense of crisis. Yang Lanhang chuckled, saying that falling in love often makes one feel inferior. Bai Lingling responded with a kiss. Suddenly, they spotted Ouyang Yifan discreetly following Cui Jing in the distance. Cui Jing entered a shopping mall, eventually noticing Ouyang Yifan. He offered another "Sorry," refusing to elaborate further.
Cui Jing then mentioned she was heading to a nearby bookstore to buy reference books, and Ouyang Yifan simply nodded and followed. Qingyi suggested establishing a monitoring schedule for the zoo's nighttime cameras. Zhang Yian informed him that the competition for shifts had been so intense in the past two days, with time slots precisely allocated, that it was unlikely they would get a turn.
Meanwhile, Yang Lanhang's mother stubbornly watched the monitor, refusing to sleep, insisting her vigilance was unmatched. Similarly, Bai Lingling's father remained glued to the computer screen. Ouyang Yifan, displaced from his intended sleeping spot by Bai Lingling's father, brazenly attempted to take over Guan Xiaoyu's room. After a furious beating from Guan Xiaoyu, he fled to Bai Lingling’s room, asking to sleep with her.
However, Bai Lingling gently refused, stating she needed to work on her thesis and monitor the cameras overnight. Later, Bai Lingling’s father exclaimed that he spotted a monkey on the screen. Bai Lingling hurried over and, seeing the image, confirmed it was indeed Zoey. She excitedly hugged her father, thanking him profusely. With Zoey found, the truth of the matter finally came to light.
Zheng Minghao received criticism for installing the cameras, and the laboratory was notified that it could be unsealed. Zheng Minghao later helped Bai Lingling paint over the oil-paint slogans on Yang Lanhang's building hallway. He admitted he was secretly pleased that Yang Lanhang felt a sense of crisis because of him, but seeing Yang Lanhang and Bai Lingling together, he felt a sense of relief. Bai Lingling remarked that his words sounded just like her father's.
Zheng Minghao then revealed that he had once secretly looked up her old records, discovering her former name, Shi Nuoling. At that time, he had wanted to quietly protect her from harm, but now he understood that what she truly needed was not protection, but reconciliation. Zheng Minghao formally told Bai Lingling that he no longer liked her.
Bai Lingling wished him well, hoping he would soon find a girl prettier than herself, and Zheng Minghao smiled, affirming that they would always remain friends. Professor Jiang extended the school's condolences to Yang Lanhang, who stated that being able to continue his research was paramount. Ouyang Yifan was furious that despite the clarification, online abuse against Yang Lanhang had intensified, with netizens mockingly claiming he could "revive dead monkeys" and "manipulate life and death."
Guan Xiaoyu agreed, feeling the matter wasn't truly over until the real mastermind was exposed. Ouyang Yifan revealed he had already arranged for a lawyer's letter to be delivered to Tang Shun's home within half an hour. Li Feifei confronted Wang Tao, accusing him of distorting the truth. Wang Tao insisted that the current development of events had nothing to do with him, claiming it was entirely spontaneous public action.
Li Feifei offered money to resolve the issue, but Wang Tao stated that money could no longer solve the problem at this stage. Li Feifei warned him that she would expose him as the sole orchestrator, but Wang Tao emphasized that it was "both of them." A dejected Tang Shun approached Yang Lanhang and Bai Lingling, revealing he had been fired from the zoo.
He pleaded with them not to sue him, confessing that the actress Li Feifei had instructed him to do it. Bai Lingling immediately sought out Li Feifei, who unconditionally provided a recording of her conversation with Wang Tao. Li Feifei explained that she was risking her reputation and career, not for Yang Lanhang or to cultivate a public image, but to uphold the dignity and integrity of scientific research.
Bai Lingling, impressed, commented that Li Feifei's new film had been nominated for an international film festival and promised to vote for it. The truth finally came to light, leading to the arrest of Wang Tao, the instigator.
Zheng Minghao bought milk tea for everyone in the lab, explaining that Wang Tao had a hard life; he had been fired from his previous job due to the initial video before even starting, struggled to find work, and eventually took a low-paying job at a game company for no salary. Unable to afford rent and deeply in debt, he was desperate, which led him to his actions.
Zhang Yian, surprised to see Zheng Minghao in the lab, asked how he got in. Bai Lingling laughed, explaining that Ouyang had just removed the "Forbidden Area for Zheng Minghao" sign. Cui Jing inquired who had filmed the video that led to Wang Tao's dismissal, and Yang Lanhang admitted it was him, stating that reporting such malicious behavior was the right thing to do. Bai Lingling curiously watched Ouyang Yifan quietly follow Cui Jing.
Yang Lanhang mysteriously suggested that to understand Ouyang Yifan's thoughts, they needed to get him to wear a special wristband. He explained that it would vibrate in sync with Yang Lanhang’s own if Ouyang Yifan’s heart rate fluctuated abnormally. Bai Lingling recognized the wristband, realizing Yang Lanhang’s past efforts and creativity in pursuing her, including making similar items and videos. Later, Yang Lanhang discreetly swapped Ouyang Yifan's wristband in the changing room while he was changing into his work uniform.
Upon entering the lab, Bai Lingling feigned a fall, deliberately bumping into Cui Jing. Ouyang Yifan instinctively reached out to steady Cui Jing, and simultaneously, Yang Lanhang's wristband vibrated. Bai Lingling mused that the Ouyang brothers were identical, with one operating openly and the other discreetly. Bai Lingling finally learned that Ouyang Yifan had been the one to tell Yang Lanhang about her past and the photos.
She remarked that Ouyang Yifan managed to maintain a calm expression even when his heart was racing. As Yang Lanhang and Bai Lingling leaned in to kiss, Yang Lanhang's wristband suddenly vibrated again, annoying him, and he promptly took it off.
