The court convened for the case between Wei Xing and Jinghai Airlines. Chen Ran, representing Jinghai, reassured Liu Na that testifying did not mean she had broken the law and promised Jinghai Airlines would not sue her. The plaintiff's lawyer demanded 1. 6 million RMB from Jinghai Airlines for Wei Xing's missed commercial event and personal damages, also requesting a fix for system vulnerabilities.
Chen Ran argued that Wei Xing's ticket was canceled through proper procedures on Jinghai's official website, and users were responsible for protecting their information. She contended that the losses were caused by a malicious third party, not by Jinghai's breach, and thus they should not be liable or forced to modify their functioning booking system.
Liu Na, identified as "Rocket Nabi" in the fan group chat, admitted to canceling Wei Xing's ticket without his knowledge, using personal information she had obtained during his commercial events. She stated her actions were intended to help him, as she felt his agency's career planning was unreasonable. However, the plaintiff's lawyer then called Wang Sen, Jinghai Airlines' itinerary manager, who explained that users could check past and current flights using just an ID number.
The lawyer highlighted that since Wei Xing had never registered on the app, Liu Na exploited this "loophole" to register with his ID, access his flight information, and cancel his ticket. Wang Sen defended the system as designed for efficiency, not a loophole, despite acknowledging that first-time registration with an ID allowed access. The court, after deliberation, ruled that both Wei Xing and Jinghai Airlines shared responsibility.
Jinghai Airlines was ordered to compensate Wei Xing 240,000 RMB, with court fees split between the parties. Following the verdict, Zhang Qinglan approached Chen Ran, expressing her concern for Chen Wenguang and her inability to see him since his arrest. She revealed that Chen Ran's mother had refused to help her. Chen Ran, empathetic but unable to intervene legally, explained that her father's case was still under investigation and that she too was kept out of the loop.
Later, Chen Ran called Jian Peiran, who was playing cards with colleagues, to inform him that Chen Wenguang had another family in Switzerland, including a son in his twenties, a fact she discovered during her recent trip there. Overwhelmed by the news, Jian Peiran said he needed time to process everything and would discuss it further the next day, leaving Chen Ran feeling perplexed and helpless.
Meanwhile, a video of Charles and his parents arguing at the police station went viral, boosting Charles's own content. Song Xiu and Chen Ke met to discuss the civil compensation case against Charles by Ruan Benju. Chen Ke noted that Ruan Benju's newly registered short video account had gained significant traffic after reposting Charles's video, and Song Xiu pointed out they were leveraging the situation for mutual benefit in this "traffic era," hoping to reach a settlement.
After agreeing, Chen Ke asked about his sister, Chen Ran, whose firm had been besieged by Wei Xing's fans. Song Xiu confirmed she was unharmed, and Chen Ke said he would send over the settlement and letter of understanding. At a construction site, Jian Peiran seemed preoccupied. His colleague, Damao, noticed his distress and offered comfort, even applying sunscreen to his sunburned neck.
Damao wondered why Jian Peiran, with a successful career and a good life in Jinghai, chose to work there. Jian Peiran explained that at his age, he felt a need to push himself further by seeking a new environment and way of life. Damao, reflecting on her own aspirations for a "big house" in Jinghai, agreed, summarizing his feelings with the saying, "familiar places have no scenery."
Suddenly, a wooden beam fell, and Damao quickly pushed Jian Peiran to safety, injuring herself in the process. Tian Mao informed Chen Ran that the prosecution had found decisive evidence in Chen Wenguang's case and that he was scheduled to review the case files. Chen Ran inquired if Zhang Qinglan had provided the evidence, but Tian Mao didn't know who she was.
Chen Ran then revealed that Zhang Qinglan was her father's "wife" in Switzerland, suggesting this might be why her father had kept her out of the case. Tian Mao apologized for his drunken visit to Chen Ran the other day, and she reassured him, acknowledging the immense pressure they were all under. Chen Ran asked him to keep her informed about any developments from the file review, as she could not participate as a relative.
As Xu Jie walked past, Tian Mao paused, stopping himself from speaking, and sighed. Outside the law firm, Wei Xing's fans intercepted Chen Ran, shouting insults. Xu Jie and Song Xiu rushed to intervene, with Xu Jie sternly reminding the fan leader, Zhai Wenxin, that fan clubs were private organizations with no right to cause disturbances. She threatened legal action against them if they continued.
Later, Chen Ran expressed her frustration at the fans' misplaced "justice," and her guilt over Liu Na's predicament. Xu Jie cautioned Chen Ran against getting emotionally involved, reminding her that she was a lawyer and that this was a corporate dispute. She pointed out Liu Na's mistake and emphasized that Wei Xing's "proposed leniency" was not a legally binding agreement. Separately, Liu Na was being cyberbullied and faced a 290,000 RMB compensation order from Jinghai Airlines.
Xu Jie found Liu Na at a coffee shop, where a fan publicly harassed her by spilling coffee on her. Xu Jie provided a tissue and introduced herself as a lawyer from Mingtang. Liu Na, feeling betrayed, accused Chen Ran of making false promises not to sue her. Xu Jie acknowledged Liu Na's suffering but asserted that she, Liu Na, was responsible for her actions in altering Wei Xing's itinerary.
However, Xu Jie also noted that the case wasn't truly over because the company with the system vulnerability hadn't been adequately punished. Concerned that Jinghai's loophole could lead to more fan-related incidents, Xu Jie encouraged Liu Na to come to the law firm with her. At the law firm, Tang Ying reprimanded Chen Ran for her empathy towards Liu Na, reiterating that Jinghai was a crucial client whose interests were paramount. She warned Chen Ran against emotional involvement.
Chen Ran argued that a "hot-headed" Liu Na, even if she apologized and took responsibility now, might still make public statements that could damage all parties. Tang Ying then asked Xu Jie for her opinion. Xu Jie supported Chen Ran's stance, emphasizing that if Liu Na were to become more extreme and make inappropriate remarks online, Jinghai Airlines could face accusations of "bullying a young girl," deeming it an unnecessary and unprofitable risk.
Convinced, Tang Ying asked them to present a concrete plan, and Liu Na was escorted into the meeting room. Earlier, Bai Ning had discreetly asked someone to investigate why Xu Jie left her previous firm in Qing'an for Jinghai. Later, during dinner with Song Xiu, Xu Jie arrived and kissed him, surprising Bai Ning, who realized Xu Jie was Song Xiu's mysterious girlfriend.
Bai Ning probed Xu Jie about her past at Qing'an and her "charm" with men, subtly questioning her career ambitions and relationship with Song Xiu. Xu Jie deftly deflected the questions, implying that Bai Ning was gossiping and lacking independent judgment. Song Xiu, caught in the middle, tried to defuse the tension by changing the subject to the menu.
