Zhu Yun asked to visit Li Xun. Her parents, unable to resist, agreed. Sitting across from him, she said the reason he made her leave was to take revenge on Fang Zhijing without hurting her. But Li Xun denied everything. He claimed the plan began six years ago when he first stood outside her villa—he wanted revenge on Zhu Yun but thought he’d never get the chance.

Then they ended up at the same university, and Zhu Yun even approached him first. Tears streaming down her face, Zhu Yun reminded him of their promise: the one who betrays goes to hell. Li Xun replied that he had already been to hell countless times and didn’t care anymore. After she left, Li Xun broke down in tears. On the rooftop, he found the torn photo of them and pieced it back together, placing it close to his heart.

It was the only thing he took into prison. It was graduation photo day. Zhu Yun had already gone abroad with her father. Her classmates had to use a cardboard cutout of her in the group photo. Teacher Lin visited the old base and was saddened to see how much had changed.

After taking over the company, Gao Jianhong fired the employees, sold the medical software Li Xun had developed, hired a new team, and used the money from the software sale as seed funding for his new company. Seeing his name on the business license, Gao Jianhong felt satisfied. Gao Jianhong visited Li Xun in prison and heard that Li Xun had refused to appeal.

Gao told him that Zhu Yun had gone abroad, but Li Xun insisted that they never speak of the past again, only business. Gao sneered, calling Li Xun selfish and arrogant. He said he had lived in Li Xun’s shadow, but now it was all behind him—he had succeeded. All the systems had been changed, and Jili had nothing to do with Li Xun anymore. Even the legal representative had been changed.

Li Xun warned him not to speak too soon. If he had given it to Gao, he could take it back too. Gao completely turned on him, saying Li Xun was arrogant to the end and never changed. Gao then revealed that he was the one who had tipped off Fang Zhijing about Li Lan. Furious, Li Xun stood up and roared, and the police escorted him away.

In 2019, three years later, Li Xun was released early for good behavior. He had even helped the prison set up a new system. After getting out, he and Hou Ning went to pay respects to their loved ones. Li Xun was determined to reclaim everything he had lost—those who had taken from him would have to give it back. When Fang Zhijing saw Li Xun leaving Jili, he was terrified.

His company was about to go public, and he feared sabotage. Gao Jianhong told him not to worry—they now had all the resources, and Li Xun had just gotten out of prison. What could he do? But no matter what Gao said, Fang Zhijing was scared and hoped Gao would win. In truth, Gao wasn’t so confident either. Ren Di, Fang Shumiao, and Zhu Yun met to catch up on life.

Fang Shumiao was now a well-known lawyer with many admirers. Wu Mengxing worked in the Youth League and already had a child. Ren Di and Fang Shumiao were most curious about what would happen when Zhu Yun and Li Xun met again. But Zhu Yun said she was leaving soon and had no intention of interacting with him. Tian Xiuzhu noticed that Zhu Yun was always holding the keychain and guessed that she couldn’t let go.

He told her that Li Xun still cared for her—otherwise, why would he take only the keychain and revisit old places? Zhu Yun saw an advertisement promoting Jili and suddenly remembered when Li Xun had asked Ren Di for money. As the major shareholder of Jili, there was no way he should’ve been broke. She looked up the shareholder list online and was shocked to find Li Xun’s name missing—Fang Zhijing’s name was there instead.

Zhu Yun decided to ask Gao Jianhong about it. Gao Jianhong was delighted to see Zhu Yun and gave her a tour of the company, even inviting her to join. Zhu Yun questioned why Fang Zhijing was brought into the company, saying it was Li Xun’s. But Gao insisted it was his now and he was in charge. Zhu Yun warned him that Li Xun would never let this go.

She acknowledged Li Xun might have made mistakes, but he had treated Gao well, and Gao would never beat him. Gao hesitated, admitting that the world needed geniuses, but now that he was wealthy, he could find geniuses anywhere. Zhu Yun replied that there was only one Li Xun in the world.
