Xue Lingqiao continued to win their tennis match, asking Yue Bai about the nature of his organization. Yue Bai, who was revealed to be Tian Jingzhi's uncle, explained that all super humans are recruited, but now require an evaluation of their genetic mutation's evolutionary direction, abilities, and conduct. Members are expected to live normally in their areas of expertise and provide assistance as needed.
He stated that the organization monitors members and first issues a warning if they detect behavior that harms their kind. If the warning is ineffective, they enforce "Punishment." Xue Lingqiao immediately questioned the "Punishment," recalling Ding Tian's case. Yue Bai confirmed that he was the one who confronted Xue Lingqiao that day. He elaborated that Ding Tian had repeatedly sold her blood indirectly despite multiple warnings, and her most recent actions almost exposed their identity and jeopardized their kind.
Xue Lingqiao found the punishment of "draining someone's blood" too severe for someone who hadn't broken human laws. Yue Bai countered that current laws apply to normal humans, and "special time, special means" are necessary for super humans. He promised that Ding Tian would "wake up" when society finally accepted super humans. Regarding the two other missing persons whose bodies were found in a cave, Yue Bai denied any organizational involvement.
He clarified that if another super human committed those acts, they would either be recruited or punished, and under no circumstances would they be allowed to fall into police hands. Xue Lingqiao stated he needed time to consider joining the organization, a decision Yue Bai respected, pledging the organization's continued support for "our kind."
Later, Xue Lingqiao took Tian Jingzhi for a night run, during which she expressed concern about how she would explain her pregnancy to her family in a few months. Xue Lingqiao assured her he would accompany her to confess, stating he was prepared to be "beaten up again." Xue Lingqiao then asked about her uncle, Yue Bai.
Tian Jingzhi explained that he was an orphan adopted by her grandfather after saving his life during an "avalanche" on a snow mountain when she was in high school. She admitted she had always harbored doubts about her uncle's true identity, suspecting he might be her grandfather's illegitimate child due to her grandfather's unusually kind treatment of him. Xue Lingqiao found this notion amusing. As they talked, Tian Jingzhi grew sleepy and rested her head on Xue Lingqiao's shoulder.
Meanwhile, Yue Bai visited Bai Lu, presenting her with a calligraphic scroll. Bai Lu immediately identified it as a "copy from a later dynasty," explaining that she had hacked into many collectors' and historians' computers, which gave her access to such information. Impressed by her abilities, Yue Bai suggested she accompany him to the next auction, which Bai Lu readily agreed to.
Bai Lu then advised Jiang Yiheng, the doctor, to move his laboratory from their current "temporary place to stay" headquarters as soon as his new lab was renovated, as his frequent presence made their "HQ" unsafe. Yue Bai, observing that Dr. Jiang liked Bai Lu and that Bai Lu had feelings for him, aimed to leverage this dynamic to gain more information. Yue Bai and Bai Lu then discussed Xue Lingqiao.
Yue Bai believed it was not the right time to recruit him due to his reservations about the organization. He instructed Bai Lu to continue "hiding" by Xue Lingqiao's side, suggesting Xue Lingqiao's relationship with Tian Jingzhi might be beneficial to their cause. They also spoke about the "murder cases in the cave," noting the difficulty for a normal person to transport a body up the cliff.
Yue Bai suggested a new super human was responsible and tasked Bai Lu to investigate local super humans with such abilities. Yue Bai brought up Hong Shiguang's disappearance from the nursing home, pondering if Xue Lingqiao's blood might have triggered a "mutation" in him before his death. Bai Lu confirmed it was a possibility, though unprecedented. Yue Bai emphasized the urgency of finding the superhuman murderer.
As their meeting concluded, Yue Bai offered to drive Bai Lu home, but she reminded him they should avoid being seen together in public to "reduce the risk." Yue Bai then proposed driving her as Tian Jingzhi's neighbor, which would fall within "normal relationship networks." In the car, Yue Bai inquired about the relationship between Xue Lingqiao and Tian Jingzhi.
Bai Lu reported that despite their breakup, their body language was intimate, and Xue Lingqiao's pupils dilated significantly when with Tian Jingzhi, indicating strong feelings. Yue Bai acknowledged Xue Lingqiao's integrity in leaving Tian Jingzhi for her own good. Bai Lu expressed confusion as to why Xue Lingqiao moved back in then. Yue Bai noted the complexity of human emotions, which even her advanced intellect struggled to comprehend. Yue Bai praised Bai Lu's vital role in locating other super humans.
In the police station, Detective Li Yanzhi, referred to as Xiao Yan, learned from a phone call that Ding Tian had sold her "hand-made masks" to a high-end skincare R&D director, but the package was lost by the courier company. The masks were priced at an astonishing 5,000 yuan each, leading the police to suspect a connection between the masks and Ding Tian's disappearance.
Li Yanzhi instructed his subordinates to find a way to obtain some of these masks from female celebrities who had purchased them. Separately, Li Yanzhi's colleague informed him about the disappearance of Fang Xian, a 27-year-old secretary who lived alone and had lymphoma, a condition she kept secret from her family. At this point, the police did not connect Fang Xian's case to the other missing persons.
At home, Tian Jingzhi's assistant, Feng Dongdong, confirmed that Xue Lingqiao had carried her back the previous night after her sudden sleepiness. Tian Jingzhi then visited Bai Lu, who had caused her microwave to explode by attempting to cook eggs in it. Tian Jingzhi helped Bai Lu clean the mess. While there, Tian Jingzhi covertly took a pregnancy encyclopedia from Bai Lu's bookshelf.
Back home, Xue Lingqiao brought Tian Jingzhi numerous expensive nutritional items, including ganoderma, bird's nest, and truffles, and had a "double-door fridge" delivered to accommodate them. Concerned about Tian Jingzhi's continued drowsiness due to malnutrition, Xue Lingqiao prepared to administer "intravenous injection" of nutrients. Though initially hesitant, Tian Jingzhi allowed him to proceed.
During a discussion with Feng Dongdong, Xue Lingqiao outlined a diet for Tian Jingzhi, focusing on high-sugar, high-fat, high-protein foods like cupcakes, chocolate, and cheeseburgers, to ensure the baby's development. He also instructed Feng Dongdong to set up a speed dial for him to be immediately alerted if Tian Jingzhi's parents visited, as they needed to keep the pregnancy a secret for now. Xue Lingqiao also considered telling Li Yanzhi the truth if absolutely necessary, trusting his discretion.
Tian Jingzhi was to continue her live-streaming work but be ready to "disconnect the internet" if any issues arose. Xue Lingqiao emphasized the importance of Tian Jingzhi maintaining a positive mood for the baby's health, telling Feng Dongdong not to upset her. He also advised Tian Jingzhi to continue moderate exercise like yoga and slow runs. For when her pregnancy became obvious, they planned for her to "study abroad" in Canada, where Yun Zhen had a house.
After Tian Jingzhi left, Bai Lu discovered the missing pregnancy book. Using her abilities, she instantly recognized its subject matter. Later, Bai Lu sent Feng Dongdong on an errand for snacks, covertly patting his back to access his shopping data. By analyzing Feng Dongdong's purchase history, which showed no sanitary napkins for four months, increased purchases of sour fruits, and unusually high food consumption, Bai Lu deduced that Tian Jingzhi was indeed pregnant and suffering from hypersomnia due to malnutrition.
She immediately informed Yue Bai. Yue Bai connected Tian Jingzhi's unique ability to conceive to her previous car accident: Tian Jingzhi's blood had saved the blood-drained Xue Lingqiao, and then Xue Lingqiao's newly formed blood had revived the dying Tian Jingzhi. Yue Bai theorized that this exchange fundamentally altered Tian Jingzhi's body, enabling her to conceive Xue Lingqiao's child.
He recognized this child as a critical "research object" that could potentially solve the long-standing problem of reproduction among super humans, a feat that Jiang Yiheng had failed to achieve for years. He called the Qiu family his "lucky star" for this breakthrough. However, Yue Bai advised Bai Lu against revealing her discovery or offering immediate help. He believed Xue Lingqiao's continued caution towards the organization meant he would distrust immediate assistance.
Instead, they should wait for Tian Jingzhi's pregnancy to encounter difficulties, providing "give timely help" when Xue Lingqiao became desperate and "overwhelmed" to earn his trust. Meanwhile, the police's investigation into Ding Tian's disappearance yielded a breakthrough. They found Ding Tian's blood on a discarded mask recovered from a female celebrity's trash. Later, Tian Jingzhi hosted a live stream without makeup, consuming various foods. Both Xue Lingqiao and Yun Zhen vied for her attention, sending extravagant virtual gifts to contribute to her well-digging charity, to Tian Jingzhi's delight.
