On Bus 45, Tao Yinghong looked at a girl in a skirt, silently walked up to her, and surprisingly asked whether she had ever been groped by a man or if a man had tried to assault her. Such questioning naturally frightened the girl, and in panic, she chose to call the police. The responding officers were helpless—this was the third time they had received reports of Tao Yinghong scaring people while conducting her own investigation.

But Tao Yinghong remained dazed, believing she couldn't rely on the police and needed to uncover the truth behind her daughter getting off the bus by herself. Xiao Heyun was taken to the hospital to get his arm injury bandaged. Due to excessive blood loss, he needed to be hospitalized for rest. Although the explosion was prevented, Xiao Heyun felt that something else must have happened after Wang Mengmeng's accident.

Li Shiqing looked up the news online about Wang Mengmeng’s accident on the river-crossing bridge and saw a flood of cruel, mocking comments. It’s not hard to imagine how Wang Xingde and his wife must have felt seeing such words. Master Zhu, the bus driver involved in the accident, was summoned to the police station for questioning. He was still deeply remorseful over the incident five years ago.

He recalled that Wang Mengmeng had kept mumbling about wanting to get off the bus, and when he refused, she even tried to grab the steering wheel. The accident had already cost him his job, and revisiting the painful memory overwhelmed him. Chief Du had no choice but to ask Officer Qin, who had handled the case back then.

She learned that Tao Yinghong never accepted the police’s conclusion that Wang Mengmeng wanted to get off because she had missed her stop. Even the final report was signed solely by Wang Xingde. What was strange, however, was that the couple never contested the decision afterward. In the old bus surveillance footage, Chief Du noticed that Wang Mengmeng looked toward the back of the bus before getting off, as if she had seen someone. This aroused her suspicion.

Jiang Feng sat dazed outside the operating room. Zhang Cheng's wife rushed in, panic-stricken, and everyone hoped to see Zhang Cheng walk out safely. However, what they got was the doctor’s sigh and shake of the head. Jiang Feng washed the wounds on his face with cold water, slapped himself hard, and hated himself for failing to save his mentor.

Devastated, Jiang Feng barged into Xiao Heyun’s hospital room to tell them Zhang Cheng had died and begged them to share everything they knew about the bombing case. A colleague quickly came in to pull Jiang Feng away, but the news of Zhang Cheng’s death left both Xiao and Li shaken and saddened. Chief Du arranged for officers to interrogate Tao Yinghong and Wang Xingde separately.

Tao Yinghong, with disheveled hair and erratic demeanor, told the police that she had coerced Wang Xingde. Her goal was to die together with him so they could reunite with their daughter. After saying this, Tao Yinghong suffered a breakdown and fainted from breathing difficulties. Wang Xingde remained silent during interrogation and only asked about his wife when Chief Du entered. He was furious about the vile online slander directed at his daughter.

His daughter had never done anything wrong, so why should she be insulted like that? To protect his wife, Wang Xingde took full responsibility for planning the explosion at Jialin. However, his guilty conscience made him mutter a soft apology. Five years ago, Wang Xingde, still a truck driver, had left his vehicle briefly to handle a task. His phone, left on the truck, kept ringing—it was his daughter Wang Mengmeng calling.

Soon after, he was summoned to the police station. Seeing his daughter’s belongings on the table and his wife sitting coldly in front of it, he collapsed to the ground. Tao Yinghong rejected both police mediation and compensation from the bus company. All she wanted was the truth behind why her daughter suddenly insisted on getting off the bus.

While washing her hands in a restroom, she overheard two men talking outside—one mentioned that there was a pervert on the bus who targeted young girls. That single sentence led Tao Yinghong to drag her husband onto Bus 45 to question passengers. When Tao Yinghong insisted on uncovering the “truth,” Wang Xingde tried to reason with her, pointing out that surveillance showed no one had entered the men's restroom. But Tao Yinghong covered her ears, unwilling to listen, silently walking the bridge where her daughter died, weeping without a sound.
