Killer And Healer Episode 29 Recap
> Killer And Healer Recap
Jiang Yuelou, still held in the mental hospital, firmly asserted his freedom and character, dismissing accusations of being a murderer. Sun Heying, reiterating their agreement, instructed Jiang Yuelou to feign illness at 6 PM for his pickup. Shortly after, Sun Heying reported to Zhan Junbai, expressing high confidence in Jiang Yuelou's cooperation. He explained that Jiang Yuelou, like them, disliked restrictions and only sought recognition, suggesting that helping him overcome his internal struggles would align them.
Zhan Junbai, however, remained cautious, ordering Sun Heying to take Jiang Yuelou to Tianyun Garden where he planned to test Jiang Yuelou amidst a crowd. He specifically tasked Qiu Ming with ensuring Chen Yuzhi's presence at Tianyun Garden, intending to observe Jiang Yuelou's reaction upon encountering his old acquaintance. Following this, Zhan Junbai departed for his annex. At the annex, a guard announced the arrival of a guest, Boss Yu, who claimed to be a friend of Executive Zhan Junbai.
Commander Zhan initially dismissed him, finding him unworthy, but Boss Yu persisted, claiming he had sensitive information about Executive Zhan Junbai's private opinions and conduct regarding the Commander. This piqued Commander Zhan's interest, confirming his underlying distrust of Zhan Junbai. Boss Yu then pulled out a gun, revealing he was the one who had attempted to kill Commander Zhan at Tianyun Garden previously, and declared his intent to finish the job.
Commander Zhan swiftly disarmed him and, without a word, angrily shot his subordinate dead for failing to frisk Boss Yu upon entry. Meanwhile, Jiang Yuelou executed his escape plan at the mental hospital. Feigning a stomachache, he was escorted by a female staff member to the infirmary. Sun Heying appeared, noting Jiang Yuelou's punctuality, which Jiang Yuelou attributed to the guards being most lax during chow time. Sun Heying then quickly incapacitated the escort, securing Jiang Yuelou's "escape."
Back at the annex, Commander Zhan interrogated Boss Yu, who admitted his motive was revenge for the massacre of his family of sixteen. Commander Zhan demanded Boss Yu's name to identify the potential threat, but Boss Yu defiantly withheld it, promising the "Fu family" would seek him in hell. This revelation prompted Commander Zhan to ask if it was the Fu family of the white flag and if Boss Yu's father was Fu Rong.
Commander Zhan denied responsibility for the massacre, despite acknowledging his own bloody past. Boss Yu insisted he had witnessed it, citing a hollowed-out wristwatch as proof. Commander Zhan revealed he had given that watch to Zhan Junbai for his birthday in January, whereas the Fu family massacre occurred in autumn.
He then delivered a shocking truth: the very Browning pistol Boss Yu now held was given to him by Zhan Junbai, who was also the true culprit behind the Fu family's demise. Boss Yu was left stunned. A child messenger delivered a letter to Chen Yuzhi at Yuzhi Hall, a summons from "Boss Yu" for a meeting at Tianyun Garden.
At the annex, Zhan Junbai confronted Boss Yu (revealing his true identity as Fu Cheng), realizing his elaborate scheme to infiltrate Tianyun Garden was for this very day. Fu Cheng defiantly cursed Zhan Junbai and vowed that justice would prevail. Zhan Junbai dismissed these sentiments as mere psychological comfort for the vanquished, asserting that winners like himself were unconcerned, and ordered his subordinate to kill Fu Cheng.
However, one of Zhan Junbai's men intervened, suggesting that killing Fu Cheng so easily would be too convenient and asked to handle him. Zhan Junbai agreed but warned him not to let an "actor" jeopardize their crucial plans. As Fu Cheng was dragged away, he continued to shout Zhan Junbai's name. Zhan Junbai then discussed with his man how close he came to being framed, and the man reassured him it was merely a misunderstanding.
Concurrently, Sun Heying escorted Jiang Yuelou to Tianyun Garden, where Jiang Yuelou expressed disdain for the theater's lower-tier seating and openly challenged Sun Heying's authority as a new Jinma Hall leader, insisting on meeting San Ye personally. Sun Heying informed him that San Ye would meet him, but not yet. Later, Qiu Ming confirmed Jiang Yuelou's presence at Tianyun Garden to Zhan Junbai, anticipating the unfolding events.
Zhan Junbai also inquired about Mrs. Bai (whom Bai Jinbo considered merely a dancer), an asset left by Jiang Shengnan, instructing Qiu Ming to reactivate her for the armory construction project, which Bai Jinbo was solely overseeing. Zhan Junbai worried about the lack of information on its progress, fearing it would leave them in a passive position.
Qiu Ming confirmed they had eyes on her but noted her deep grief over Jiang Shengnan's death had kept her isolated, suggesting they bide their time. Upon entering Tianyun Garden, Chen Yuzhi immediately spotted Jiang Yuelou. He expressed relief at Jiang Yuelou's release, but Jiang Yuelou, maintaining a harsh facade for Sun Heying, dismissively told him to "get away." Sun Heying mocked their interaction.
When Chen Yuzhi attempted to leave, Sun Heying blocked his path, having learned of Chen Yuzhi's involvement in his brother's death. To prevent Sun Heying from killing Chen Yuzhi, Jiang Yuelou suddenly turned on Chen Yuzhi, violently beating him while accusing him of sending him to the mental hospital and harming him. The commotion drew a crowd, and Sun Heying, realizing the risk of attracting police, intervened to stop Jiang Yuelou from using a gun.
The public spectacle, with onlookers recognizing Jiang Yuelou and calling for the police, forced Sun Heying to back down, allowing Chen Yuzhi to escape. In the aftermath, Qiu Ming reported to Zhan Junbai that Jiang Yuelou's brutal attack had left Chen Yuzhi severely injured with a hairline rib fracture, though not dead. Sun Heying felt Jiang Yuelou's performance was acceptable, despite showing lingering "old times' sake" hesitation. Jiang Yuelou now sought a meeting with San Ye.
Zhan Junbai, recognizing Jiang Yuelou's ambition and capabilities, speculated that Jiang Yuelou would not be easily controlled by Sun Heying and was "too good" for Jinma Hall. Still, he harbored suspicions of a possible "double-cross," much like Fu Cheng. To solidify Jiang Yuelou's commitment, Zhan Junbai set a stringent condition for meeting San Ye: he must first kill Chen Yuzhi.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuzhi, recovering in the hospital, confirmed to Chu Ran that Jiang Yuelou had joined Jinma Hall, suspecting Sun Heying was responsible for his release. Despite his injuries, Chen Yuzhi insisted on discharging himself, asserting his ability to self-care as a doctor. Jiang Yuelou, growing impatient, was informed by Sun Heying that San Ye had indeed agreed to meet, but only if Jiang Yuelou killed Chen Yuzhi.
Jiang Yuelou, eager to comply, immediately demanded a gun and Chen Yuzhi's location, prompting Sun Heying to caution him to adapt to covert, nocturnal operations given that the Tianyun Garden incident had made him a wanted man. Separately, Zhan Junbai visited the imprisoned Fu Cheng, explaining that life offered "infinite possibilities" and true revenge required becoming as strong as one's opponent.
Qiu Ming, concerned by Zhan Junbai's decision to keep Fu Cheng alive, attempted to kill him, but Zhan Junbai intervened, angrily ordering Qiu Ming away and asserting his authority. Fu Cheng then questioned why Zhan Junbai prevented Qiu Ming from killing him. Zhan Junbai declared that Fu Cheng's life was in his hands, and he would decide when to end it.
He explained his preference for power over sentiment, declaring Fu Cheng his "only friend" because no one else had ever "took a knife" for him, though Fu Cheng cynically implied it might have been intentional.
