Fall in You Episode 6 Recap
> Fall in You Recap
Qiao Yan revealed to Gu Jingyuan that she decided to stay in Xijiang because she had discovered new clues about her parents’ death. The police had identified a suspect, Liang Feng, known as Feng, who had previously left the country and was now in Xijiang. Qiao Yan believed Feng was connected to the person who attacked her in Germany, and therefore, she couldn't leave.
Knowing her grandfather would be suspicious if she suddenly changed her travel plans, she needed a plausible reason to remain. At the airport, she feigned a stomach ache and discreetly approached Gu Jingyuan, asking if he had something to tell her. Gu Jingyuan then publicly declared that she should stay because he needed her. Later, Qiao Yan and Gu Jingyuan discussed the investigation.
Qiao Yan explained that when she interacted with Wang He, he didn't smoke, but she had found a specific brand of German-made cigarette at the scene of her kidnapping. This, coupled with the fact that Feng had just entered Xijiang, was too much of a coincidence; she was convinced the cigarette belonged to Feng, indicating a connection between Wang He and Feng. She believed Wang He's confession that he kidnapped her on impulse due to financial hardship was a lie.
Gu Jingyuan, worried about her safety, urged her to let him handle the matter, reminding her that as her uncle, he was responsible for her well-being since her parents were gone. However, Qiao Yan insisted on being involved, stating she couldn't stand by when there was a lead on the murderer of her parents. Gu Jingyuan reluctantly agreed, but made her promise to consult him on everything and never act alone.
He warned her that if she broke this promise, he would have Lin Ze send her back to Germany. Qiao Yan agreed, making a pinky promise to protect herself and not act without him. Lin Ze informed Gu Jingyuan that their stock price was recovering following Qiao Yan's appearance at the banquet. He also reported that the source of the rumors was not Qin Mian's company. The news was first published by He Yao, the chief editor of Xijiang Daily.
Lin Ze showed Gu Jingyuan a photo, revealing that Lu Wanqing was the person seen meeting with He Yao. Lu Wanqing later visited Gu Jingyuan, bringing wontons. She reminisced about their childhood at the welfare house, recalling how they used to watch others eat wontons and she would cry from hunger, and how he promised to buy her a whole wonton stall when they grew up. Gu Jingyuan then confronted her, asking why she had spread the rumors.
Lu Wanqing initially feigned ignorance but then admitted she did it to prevent him from leaving for Germany to accompany Qiao Yan. Gu Jingyuan angrily stated that his decisions were his own and she had no right to make choices for him. Lu Wanqing insisted she acted for his own good and apologized, expressing her fear that he would abandon her, reminding him of his promise to always take care of her.
Gu Jingyuan affirmed that he would continue to care for her because they grew up together. However, he sternly stated that the Gu family and the company were his absolute bottom line, and he would not tolerate anyone undermining them. At that moment, Lu Wanqing realized Gu Jingyuan had changed significantly, a transformation she attributed to Qiao Yan's return. Qiao Yan later contacted Gu Jingyuan by phone after witnessing someone give Feng a USB drive.
She informed him that she was following Feng and promised to send him her location. Gu Jingyuan advised her to be careful, wait for him, and not to act alone. Qiao Yan urged her taxi driver to keep close to Feng. She confirmed her location, but when Gu Jingyuan tried to call her back, her phone was off. Gu Jingyuan arrived at the Dashiqiao construction site, where Qiao Yan was being held.
Before entering, he called the police to report a kidnapping. Inside, Qiao Yan, who had cleverly hidden a piece of broken glass she found outside the site, was talking to Feng. She feigned ignorance and offered money, asking why he had kidnapped her. Feng revealed he knew she was following him. Qiao Yan pressed him, asking if he was the one who ordered Wang He to kidnap her.
Feng denied ordering the kidnapping, claiming he had a separate deal with Wang He, and that Wang He's kidnapping of Qiao Yan for money was his own decision. Qiao Yan then accused Feng of being the person who stole her model in Germany, which he didn't deny. As Qiao Yan continued to engage him in conversation, she secretly used the glass shard to cut the ropes binding her hands.
Feng, stating that knowing too much was harmful, told Qiao Yan she was about to die and could ask her parents about it in the afterlife, then attacked her. Just as he lunged, Qiao Yan broke free. Gu Jingyuan burst in, rescuing her. Feng managed to escape, and Gu Jingyuan, prioritizing Qiao Yan's safety, did not pursue him. Qiao Yan immediately told Gu Jingyuan that Feng had admitted someone hired him to kill her parents.
Gu Jingyuan reassured her, expressing relief that she was safe. Shortly after, Lin Ze and Han Miao arrived. Qiao Yan, surprised, asked why they were together. Lin Ze explained that Han Miao had arrived earlier than expected and had seen him at the airport holding a sign with her name on it.
Han Miao had tried to contact Qiao Yan but couldn't reach her, so she grew worried and told Lin Ze to call Gu Jingyuan, leading them to Qiao Yan's location. Han Miao chastised Lin Ze for driving too slowly, saying she had to speed on her rented motorcycle to save Qiao Yan and Gu Jingyuan. Gu Jingyuan then informed them that the police expected to find Feng soon. Gu Jingyuan was furious with Qiao Yan for acting alone.
He reminded her of their promise, emphasizing the danger she was in and how worried he was about her. Qiao Yan tried to apologize, explaining that she couldn't stand by when Feng suddenly appeared again, and reiterated her trust in him to be there for her. Gu Jingyuan, however, remained resolute.
He told her to pack her belongings, stating that he would arrange for Lin Ze to send her back to Germany in a few days and would explain the situation to her grandfather. Qiao Yan pleaded with him, begging for forgiveness and refusing to leave, but Gu Jingyuan was unyielding. The next morning, Qiao Yan attempted to greet him, calling him a "cheapskate" when he ignored her.
During breakfast, she tried to subtly persuade her grandfather to intervene by telling a story about a "watermelon" who made a mistake and a "soup dumpling" family member who refused to forgive it, describing the "soup dumpling" as petty. Her grandfather responded that family should always be tolerant. As Gu Jingyuan left for work, Qiao Yan followed, continuing to press him for forgiveness. He demanded she promise to return to Germany. She refused, citing the ongoing search for Feng.
Gu Jingyuan then threatened to tell her grandfather about her dangerous solo investigation. He seized her phone and installed a tracking device, warning her that if she left the predefined safe zones for more than thirty minutes, she would immediately be sent back to Germany. Qiao Yan accused him of restricting her freedom, to which he retorted that she had previously put a tracker on his car. Qiao Yan called him a "petty soup dumpling."
Later, Qiao Yan confided in Han Miao, expressing her frustration with Gu Jingyuan's stubbornness. Han Miao jokingly reminded Qiao Yan that she was dealing with a billionaire CEO, not just an ordinary man. Han Miao also explained why she was staying at Lin Ze's place. She mentioned that the hotel was too expensive, and she didn't want to owe the Gu family for her accommodation.
Since Lin Ze needed money and had a spare room, and as an employee of Gu's Group he was trustworthy, it was the perfect arrangement. When Qiao Yan offered to pay her rent as a token of thanks for her trip back to China, Han Miao accepted, also mentioning that she had taken on some coding projects to expand into the domestic market.
Han Miao then told Qiao Yan about an online relationship coach who offered tips for coaxing lovers, suggesting it might work on Gu Jingyuan, even though he was an "elder" in terms of their power dynamic. Desperate to stay in China and continue her investigation, Qiao Yan decided it was worth a try and asked Han Miao to share the advice.
