My Amazing Boyfriend 2 Episode 28 Recap
> My Amazing Boyfriend 2 Recap
Yun Zhen woke up to find Ye Meixiao sleeping beside him, startling him into believing he had somehow returned to a time years ago. He attempted to play on her sympathy to get out of trouble, but Ye Meixiao saw through his act. He apologized for forgetting their past promise, though he joked that he had only agreed to play together as children, not to marry her.
Yun Zhen expressed surprise at Ye Meixiao's imagination, particularly her ability to deduce his immortality, calling it "the most impossible option." Ye Meixiao countered that it was "reasonable speculation plus some imagination and investigation," advising him to "evolve his brain a little." Yun Zhen playfully pointed out that she liked him regardless of his intelligence, to which she affirmed her affection for him and his intellect, explaining they complement each other.
Ye Meixiao, however, suggested his mind might be confused and he could be "mixing love and gratitude together" because she had helped him when he was in danger. She told him not to rush to a conclusion and to give himself time, reminding him he still owed her one more date before providing his answer. Meanwhile, Xue Lingqiao and Tian Jingzhi observed their interaction, with Xue Lingqiao noting how strange the couple was, like Ye Meixiao was "raising a cat."
Tian Jingzhi concurred, comparing Yun Zhen to her cat, Pineapple, which is pretty, doesn't stay home, follows whoever feeds him, and needs to be petted. Tian Jingzhi then asked Xue Lingqiao about the conditions for Yun Zhen's release. Xue Lingqiao explained that they had one week to clear Yun Zhen's name and have the police retract his arrest warrant. To achieve this, he planned to seek assistance from Li Yanzhi.
Later, Li Yanzhi found a photograph that showed Feng Dongdong and Yun Zhen had been drinking together at a bar. Xue Lingqiao admitted to Li Yanzhi that he had lied to him previously. He insisted that Yun Zhen was being framed and that the murderer deliberately led the police to Fox’s body. Xue Lingqiao recalled the night Tian Jingzhi went missing, stating he found a displaced flowerpot at Ye Meixiao's house, suggesting a mutant had been there.
He added that Yun Zhen had later told him Ye Meixiao felt like she was being followed. This led Xue Lingqiao to suspect that Ye Meixiao was the killer's original target, but lacking an opportunity, they killed Fox instead. Li Yanzhi revealed that three victims' personal belongings were found in Yun Zhen's home. Xue Lingqiao, remembering that Yun Zhen had emptied his drawers before fleeing, concluded that the killer must have planted the items there after Yun Zhen left.
Despite Xue Lingqiao's insights, Li Yanzhi firmly stated he had his own investigation methods and did not want Xue Lingqiao's interference. Xue Lingqiao persisted, offering to help Li Yanzhi investigate the case and capture the murderer, emphasizing his unique understanding of other mutants and the danger they posed to ordinary police officers. Li Yanzhi refused, citing a lack of trust due to Xue Lingqiao's repeated deceptions. He demanded a tangible show of sincerity.
Xue Lingqiao then finally revealed that Tian Jingzhi was pregnant with his child, explaining this was his reason for returning. However, Li Yanzhi was unimpressed, comparing this "sincerity" to chewing something only to spit it back out. To further demonstrate "sincerity," Xue Lingqiao brought Yun Zhen before Li Yanzhi. Yun Zhen, weakened by a non-contagious virus that affects mutants, struggled to sit. Xue Lingqiao explained that Yun Zhen would recover in a few days.
Yun Zhen, in a moment of irreverence, addressed Li Yanzhi as "Seventh Brother" and introduced himself as "Little Nine," implying he was Tian Jingzhi's ninth boyfriend after Li Yanzhi, whom he called her seventh. Xue Lingqiao quickly clarified that Tian Jingzhi had never accepted Yun Zhen as her boyfriend. Li Yanzhi questioned Yun Zhen about his relationship with Fox.
Yun Zhen admitted they had only drunk and danced together, denying any sexual involvement, even though he had carried her out of the bar after an argument where she demanded he stay with her. Yun Zhen explained he had hidden because, as a mutant, he knew he would eventually be investigated and could not subject himself to a police inquiry. He stated he had no idea who framed him.
Li Yanzhi refused to withdraw Yun Zhen's arrest warrant, ordering him to stay home and recover. Later, Li Yanzhi and Xue Lingqiao agreed to meet that night to discuss the case further. As Li Yanzhi was leaving, Tian Jingzhi apologized to him for their deceptions. Yun Zhen worried about the approaching deadline for clearing his name. Ye Meixiao suggested he hide in the mountains or on a deserted island if they failed to find the killer.
Yun Zhen adamantly refused, vowing to uncover and punish the individual who framed him. Xue Lingqiao agreed, stating they should focus on finding the killer first. During dinner, Yun Zhen repeatedly called Ye Meixiao his "wife," which she consistently corrected to "girlfriend." Feng Dongdong light-heartedly remarked that Yun Zhen used to call Tian Jingzhi "wife" as well.
Both Yun Zhen and Xue Lingqiao engaged in public displays of affection, which Tian Jingzhi and Ye Meixiao found distracting and told them to focus on eating. Feng Dongdong, as the assistant serving them, lamented his plight, caring for four "masters" while constantly being exposed to their PDA. Yun Zhen expressed his deep gratitude to Xue Lingqiao and Tian Jingzhi for their trust and for saving his life, promising to do anything for them in return.
Yun Zhen then requested disposable needles from Xue Lingqiao, explaining he wanted to draw his own blood daily to accelerate his recovery, ensuring he would be strong enough to escape with Ye Meixiao if the true culprit remained at large. Soon after, Xue Lingqiao received a phone call from Li Yanzhi, agreeing to meet later that night.
During their meeting, Li Yanzhi recounted his previous theory that the killer sought revenge against the descendants of Zheng Xincheng (born 1887, died 1953) and Ouyang Fenghua (born 1882, died 1944). Xue Lingqiao mentioned his earlier suspicion of Hong Shiguang, who was immortal due to Xue Lingqiao's blood and could have been in the area when the original enmity arose. Li Yanzhi pointed out that the killer's ability to transport victims to the cave was a key characteristic.
Xue Lingqiao clarified that not all mutants possessed supernatural strength; some were merely immortal with normal physical capabilities. However, he acknowledged the randomness of mutations and the possibility that some mutant blood could grant extraordinary strength to a normal human, like Hong Shiguang. To narrow down the search, Xue Lingqiao planned to list the killer's specific characteristics and seek external help.
He confirmed that Bai Lu, whom Feng Dongdong highly praised as a hacker, was a mutant and possessed extensive information on other mutants, which could prove invaluable in narrowing down the list of suspects.
