Cui Tianqi engaged Chen Siqing in conversation and discreetly managed to take his room card. As she scanned it and prepared to return it, Ma Li intervened, posing as Cui Tianqi's older sister. Ma Li sent Cui Tianqi away, then stayed to drink with Chen Siqing, intending to use the room card to take the briefcase herself. This entire maneuver by Ma Li was a diversion tactic orchestrated by Liang Dawei's team.
Guan Xiaodi spotted Ma Li heading towards Chen Siqing's room. Recognizing Ma Li as Liang Dawei's third team member, Guan Xiaodi gave chase. However, halfway through the pursuit, Guan Xiaodi realized she had fallen for Liang Dawei's diversion. She urgently contacted Cui Tianqi by phone, instructing her to return to room 2012 immediately. Despite the warning, it was too late for Cui Tianqi.
Liang Dawei had already successfully taken the briefcase from room 2012 and found Cui Tianqi, whom he then tied up in the room. Guan Xiaodi arrived shortly after, chasing Liang Dawei. They confronted each other in the elevator, where they fought over the briefcase. Guan Xiaodi discovered the briefcase was not with Liang Dawei. Liang Dawei had secretly handed the briefcase to Zhang Yan before entering the elevator.
Liang Dawei, convinced he had succeeded, and his team later presented their retrieved briefcase to Liu Sha, only to find it was a fake. Moments later, Guan Xiaodi arrived, also declaring "Mission complete" and presenting her own briefcase. She was certain that Liang Dawei's was fake because she had replaced the original with a decoy. However, Liu Sha revealed that Guan Xiaodi's briefcase was also a fake.
A flashback revealed Guan Xiaodi's initial plan: to exchange the real briefcase with a substitute to mislead Liang Dawei's team. Liang Dawei, upon discovering his briefcase was fake, accused Guan Xiaodi of cheating. Guan Xiaodi retorted that they won through intelligence and challenged Liu Sha, insisting her team had successfully protected the briefcase for 24 hours. However, when both teams opened their briefcases, they were empty. Chen Siqing then stepped forward, revealing he held the real briefcase.
He explained that both teams had failed because he had swapped the briefcase himself during Guan Xiaodi's taxi ride. He challenged Guan Xiaodi's assertion that she never took her eyes off the briefcase, showing a replay of the moment in the taxi where he subtly swapped the briefcases during a brief stop. Therefore, from the very beginning, both teams had been vying for an empty box.
Frustrated and feeling lectured, Guan Xiaodi decided to leave, stating she had no further interest in them. However, Liu Sha stopped her, and Chen Siqing elaborated, inviting them to a place that could alter their destinies and provide the answers they sought, emphasizing that perseverance is meaningful unless one gives up due to fear. Intrigued, Guan Xiaodi agreed, wanting to discover what awaited them. They were then led to L. H. S. D.
, "The Aegis International Bodyguard Agency: The Shield," which Cui Tianqi recognized as a highly-ranked international safety training school. Soon, Xiong Kuohai appeared, introducing himself as the founder of L. H. S. D. and the head instructor of the training camp. Guan Xiaodi recognized Xiong Kuohai as the man who had previously saved her life, realizing he was the founder and head instructor.
Xiong Kuohai explained that the challenges they had faced were part of the training camp, designed to select the most capable individuals for China's top security company. Guan Xiaodi, seeing herself as an elite, questioned the necessity of the training camp, believing her existing skills were already sufficient to be a bodyguard. She alluded to her past heroic actions, with Liang Dawei chiming in that he was also involved. Both suggested they should be able to bypass the training.
Xiong Kuohai took Guan Xiaodi aside and inquired about available tasks. Liu Sha informed him of a newly accepted mission to protect stray dogs, commissioned by an online animal lovers' organization. This group suspected dognappers were operating in Yulin's industrial zone, targeting both strays and pets for the black market. Guan Xiaodi confidently volunteered for the task, asserting it would be simple to expose the culprits.
She proposed a condition: if she successfully completed the mission, she should be allowed to bypass the training camp and directly join L. H. S. D. Liang Dawei, who had been listening, also volunteered to join Guan Xiaodi on the mission. Xiong Kuohai agreed to let them undertake the task, secretly assuring Liu Sha that he would personally follow them to ensure their safety. Guan Xiaodi and Liang Dawei arrived at the vast industrial zone.
Guan Xiaodi ingeniously used a dog-attracting sound on her phone to locate the dognappers' hideout, where they found numerous dogs held captive. They began taking photos to document the crimes but were discovered by the leader. A fight broke out, and in the chaos, the leader ordered his subordinates to flee in a car. Guan Xiaodi and Liang Dawei, too engrossed in the fight, realized the escape too late.
They gave chase, only to witness Xiong Kuohai, who had been following them, single-handedly intercepting the getaway vehicle and effortlessly overpowering the dognappers. Watching Xiong Kuohai effortlessly subdue all the dognappers, Guan Xiaodi was deeply impressed by his incredible skills, as Liang Dawei affirmed Xiong Kuohai's status as one of L. H. S. D.' s strongest.
Xiong Kuohai then sternly enumerated their three critical mistakes: first, rashly confronting the criminals without proper assessment, thereby endangering themselves; second, becoming so engrossed in fighting that they lost sight of their primary objective; and third, exhibiting slow reactions to unexpected developments, which resulted in mission failure. When Guan Xiaodi attempted to offer excuses, Xiong Kuohai firmly told her that those who rationalize their failures can never achieve success.
He then shared the first crucial lesson for any bodyguard: in the face of genuine criminals, the immediate action should always be to contact the police. Humbled by their shortcomings, both Guan Xiaodi and Liang Dawei expressed their earnest desire to join the training camp. That night, Guan Xiaodi, elated, returned home to inform her father. He had been drinking alone, seemingly troubled, and asked if her late-night visit brought bad news.
However, Guan Xiaodi joyfully announced her decision to join the L. H. S. D. training camp. Her father, who had previously met with Xiong Kuohai and sought his assurance to train Guan Xiaodi without mercy, expressed his profound happiness and full support, believing this opportunity would transform her. He had already told Xiong Kuohai that he was handing his daughter over to him, trusting he would teach her to become better and that Guan Xiaodi's performance would not disappoint.
