Love is Sweet Episode 29 Recap
> Love is Sweet Recap
Yuan Shuai was cheering for Jia Yuanji at the bar when he unexpectedly spotted Du Lei entering. The two had originally planned to meet and discuss their strategy, but coincidentally, they noticed Lin Taimo’s subordinate—Secretary Bai. To avoid exposing their plan, Yuan Shuai called Du Lei to warn him. Du Lei immediately turned and struck up a conversation with Secretary Bai instead. During their exchange, Du Lei discreetly slipped a data drive into a napkin without Secretary Bai noticing.
After Du Lei and Secretary Bai left, Yuan Shuai followed and retrieved the drive. Lin Taimo received Secretary Bai’s confirmation of Du Lei’s activities over the past few days but remained uneasy. He ordered additional surveillance to ensure Du Lei’s loyalty. Through Mr. Jia’s connections at GE, Du Lin and Yuan Shuai finally met.
As soon as they sat down, Yuan Shuai presented evidence collected by Du Lei, exposing Du Lin’s collusion with Lin Taimo in bribery and framing Jiang Yaoming. Despite Yuan Shuai’s analysis, Du Lin stubbornly refused to admit anything. However, Yuan Shuai then suggested that Du Lin should persuade Lin Taimo to cooperate. Hearing her younger brother Du Lei’s name mentioned, Du Lin smiled bitterly, realizing that her stubborn brother had indeed gotten involved.
Initially dismissive, Du Lin’s expression changed when Yuan Shuai brought up Jiang Yaoming’s death. Memories flooded back—Jiang Yaoming bursting into the office to confront Lin Taimo, Lin Taimo snatching away Jiang Yaoming’s life-saving medication, directly causing his fatal heart attack. Jiang Yaoming’s desperate pleas echoed in her ears once more, and Du Lin’s hands trembled uncontrollably.
After listening to her account, Yuan Shuai suppressed his fury, gritting his teeth as he pressured Du Lin to hand over all evidence of her transactions with Jiang Yaoming. The next day, Du Lin tried to persuade Lin Taimo to be wary of those around him, but the arrogant Lin Taimo dismissed all threats, convinced his position was unshakable. However, Du Lin subtly probed further, mentioning the crucial documents containing evidence of Lin Taimo’s crimes.
Lin Taimo cryptically replied that the files were hidden in the most dangerous yet safest place. With Du Lin’s intel, Yuan Shuai and Du Lei deduced that Lin Taimo had likely stored the documents in his office safe. To steal them, Du Lei used a wine-tasting excuse to lure away Lin Taimo’s key subordinate—Secretary Bai. He kept plying Secretary Bai with alcohol until he passed out drunk, then arranged for him to stay in a hotel room.
The next day, MH’s annual meeting began as scheduled. Just as Lin Taimo was about to deliver his speech, Fan Qichang interrupted, formally accusing Lin Taimo of illegal activities in the "Jiangnan Flavor" case five years prior. When Lin Taimo demanded evidence, Yuan Shuai strode into the conference room, making Lin Taimo realize the situation was far from simple.
Standing before Lin Taimo—the same man who had once accused him in this very room—Yuan Shuai suppressed his anger and began his exposé. He presented evidence of Du Lin’s shady dealings with Cao Heng, as well as proof of transactions between Secretary Bai and Du Lin. Lin Taimo, however, continued to stubbornly deny everything, insisting to the shareholders that he was uninvolved.
Just as Lin Taimo was about to order Yuan Shuai’s removal, Yuan Shuai announced that investigators would arrive within ten minutes to thoroughly search Lin Taimo’s belongings. Cornered, Lin Taimo’s veins bulged as he reluctantly granted Yuan Shuai the ten minutes. Meanwhile, Du Lei stealthily made his way to Lin Taimo’s office and, using the password Lin Taimo had previously revealed to him, retrieved the incriminating files.
When Du Lei returned to the conference room, Lin Taimo assumed his loyal subordinate had secured his escape route. To his shock, Du Lei walked straight to Yuan Shuai’s side and handed over the folder. Furious and desperate, Lin Taimo thought all was lost—until Du Lin appeared at the doorway. Addressing the entire room of shareholders, she recounted how Lin Taimo had snatched Jiang Yaoming’s life-saving medication.
Jiang Jun, who had just arrived, heard everything and finally learned the full truth. Lin Taimo’s carefully crafted image crumbled in an instant, revealing his deceitful nature. To silence any rebuttal, Du Lin even produced the pill bottle bearing only Jiang Yaoming and Lin Taimo’s fingerprints. No amount of狡辩 could stand against such irrefutable evidence. Under the restraint of the police and Jiang Jun’s accusations, Lin Taimo left in silence. Perhaps until his dying breath, he believed his actions had been necessary—but in the end, he faced the retribution he deserved.
