Fall in You Episode 22 Recap
> Fall in You Recap
Qiao Yan was convinced something was amiss with Qin Ziyu and felt a pressing need to act swiftly. Meanwhile, Gu Jingyuan, unable to shake his worry for Qiao Yan, had been spending every night in his car near Qin Ziyu’s residence, hoping to be closer to her. Miao was surprised to learn of this from Lin Ze. While Qiao Yan was undercover, Miao was also busy investigating.
She managed to hack into Qin Ziyu’s email account and made a significant discovery: a recurring transaction account. She traced it to a social media page belonging to a man named Feng, who Lin Ze initially mistook for Qin Ziyu’s girlfriend, leading him to believe Qin Ziyu was cheating on Qiao Yan. Miao corrected him, pointing out it was Feng. This new information led Miao to suspect that Qin Mian might have taken the fall for Qin Ziyu.
The next day, after Qiao Yan went to the office, Miao met with her and Gu Jingyuan. Miao shared her revelation that Qin Mian was likely covering for Qin Ziyu, condemning the Qin family's malicious actions. Qiao Yan emphasized that anger was futile now and that their priority was to stop Qin Ziyu, whose machinations were clearly targeting Gu Jingyuan and the Gu’s Group.
She warned Gu Jingyuan not to visit Qin Ziyu’s neighborhood anymore, as being discovered would jeopardize everything. Qiao Yan revealed that she had obtained Qin Ziyu’s phone password (as seen in the previous episode) and intended to return to his house to continue searching for crucial evidence. Gu Jingyuan, though worried, understood her resolve and urged her to stay safe, promising to handle things at the company during their phone call.
Upon Qiao Yan’s return home that evening, Qin Ziyu confronted her, angered by photos of her embracing Gu Jingyuan. He demanded to know why she had lied and pretended to break up with Gu Jingyuan to help him against the audit team. Qiao Yan admitted her deception, explaining that she had suspected Zhou Qiao was working for him from the beginning.
Therefore, on the day they rescued Luo Qian, Qiao Yan decided to play along and move into Qin Ziyu's house as part of her plan. Qin Ziyu, heartbroken, questioned if she had ever truly loved him, but Qiao Yan urged him to stop making mistakes and stated that his words disgusted her, asserting that he only loved himself. Qin Ziyu confirmed this, declaring his self-love.
Furious, Qin Ziyu then confined Qiao Yan to her bedroom, instructing his guards to watch her. He then left, telling Qiao Yan that "the real show is about to begin." Meanwhile, at the Gu’s Group shareholders’ meeting, Qin Ziyu made a dramatic appearance, claiming to be the largest shareholder after Chairwoman Qiao. He announced that he held 20% of Gu’s shares, having acquired 15% from Jinjie Holdings and an additional 5% from other shareholders last year.
When the perplexed shareholders questioned how Jinjie Holdings acquired such a large stake, Qin Ziyu revealed that Gu Jingyuan had sold his shares to Jinjie Holdings, with the public announcement imminent. Qin Ziyu, misrepresenting Qiao Yan’s situation, claimed she was unwell and had entrusted him to convene this emergency meeting to "kick out some hypocrites." He then arrogantly demanded that Gu Jingyuan, who supposedly no longer held any shares, leave the meeting. However, Gu Jingyuan was prepared.
He disclosed that Xu Wen, the former chairman’s special assistant, had transferred 2% of his shares to him. Furthermore, three major shareholders had signed an acting-in-concert agreement, granting Gu Jingyuan final decision-making power. With these actions, Gu Jingyuan now held the same number of shares as Qin Ziyu. He then explained his strategy: he had signed a VAM agreement with Jinjie Holdings, selling his shares through over-the-counter options with a 1:10 leverage, betting that someone would buy them.
Gu Jingyuan then sarcastically thanked Qin Ziyu for his money, which had inadvertently resolved Gu’s Group’s financial crisis. Qin Ziyu realized he had been tricked, understanding that Lu Wanqing had been in league with Gu Jingyuan all along. Back at Qin Ziyu’s residence, Qiao Yan learned from a guard that Qin Ziyu was at the Gu’s Group. Just then, Lu Wanqing arrived, bringing drinks for the two security guards stationed outside Qiao Yan’s room.
Qiao Yan initially wondered if Lu Wanqing was allied with Qin Ziyu, but Lu Wanqing had secretly drugged the drinks. After the guards consumed the beverages and passed out, Qiao Yan seized the opportunity to search for evidence. Lu Wanqing entered, confirming Qiao Yan had secured the memory card and the model.
She confirmed that Gu Jingyuan believed Qin Ziyu was responsible for Qiao Yan’s parents' deaths and that her alliance with Qin Ziyu had been a ruse to help Qiao Yan. Lu Wanqing urged Qiao Yan to flee, as Qin Ziyu was returning. As Qiao Yan attempted to escape, Qin Ziyu arrived. He confronted her, expressing his intense love while accusing her of betrayal.
Qiao Yan vehemently rejected his declarations, asserting that his words were sickening and that he was only capable of loving himself. Enraged, Qin Ziyu admitted his self-love and became aggressive, attempting to force himself on her. During the struggle, he realized Qiao Yan knew the truth about his involvement in her parents' deaths. He chillingly offered to take her to Germany or "the afterlife."
Just as he cornered her, Lu Wanqing appeared and struck Qin Ziyu with a stick, knocking him unconscious. She urged Qiao Yan to flee with her. Qin Ziyu soon recovered and pursued them, angrily berating his guards as "worthless idiots." He caught up with the two women, scoffing at Lu Wanqing for her unrequited love for Gu Jingyuan. As Qin Ziyu lunged for the evidence, Qiao Yan refused to surrender it, warning him to cease his malicious acts.
Just then, Gu Jingyuan arrived, fighting off Qin Ziyu. Qiao Yan intervened, telling Gu Jingyuan that she had found the evidence, and urged him to take them home. As Qin Ziyu watched them leave, he lamented that if Gu Jingyuan had arrived a moment later, Qiao Yan would have been his forever.
