The Justice Episode 16 Recap
> The Justice Recap
Manager Jiao relayed Zhou Guangxian's dying wishes to Wu Lizi. Zhou Guangxian and Huang Ruhong cooperated in selling opium, but Huang Ruhong later started smuggling arms, so Zhou Guangxian had to go along with him. Wu Zhifu obtained the account book of Zhou Guangxian and Huang Ruhong's arms dealing cooperation and photographed it as evidence. Wu Zhifu repeatedly advised Zhou Guangxian to stop, but he couldn't turn back.
Zhou Guangxian told Huang Ruhong about this, and Huang Ruhong, ignoring Zhou Guangxian's obstruction, sent people to kill Wu Zhifu to silence him. Wu Lizi finally learned the cause of her father's death. She was heartbroken and thought Manager Jiao wanted to use her against Huang Ruhong. She tore the account book to shreds on the spot and then slammed the door and left.
Mr. Sun brought Cheng Yizhi to Meiyuan Hotel, specifically asking him to enter through the back door and searching him. Luo Rengu had been waiting for a long time. Cheng Yizhi got straight to the point, explaining that the batch of goods Luo Rengu ordered from Huang Ruhong was not floating at sea at all but had already arrived in Shanghai. Luo Rengu already knew about this and even accurately stated the storage location of the goods.
Cheng Yizhi immediately became alert, unsure if Leizi intentionally concealed it or if Luo Rengu was trying him. Cheng Yizhi answered cautiously, knowing that any impropriety would bring him disaster. Cheng Yizhi excused himself to relieve himself. Luo Rengu sent someone to follow him to the restroom. Cheng Yizhi secretly took the gun. As soon as he entered, he revealed that Luo Rengu had hidden all the arms in Sheng'an Hospital's morgue and advised him to abandon the weapons.
Luo Rengu saw that he was not sincerely surrendering and immediately drew his gun. Cheng Yizhi displayed the pistol at his waist and earnestly persuaded Luo Rengu, warning that otherwise, he and Huang Ruhong would both suffer heavy losses. Luo Rengu was unwilling to give up so easily. He fired a warning shot in anger. The guards rushed in upon hearing the sound. Cheng Yizhi remained fearless and unyielding. Luo Rengu sent the guards out.
Cheng Yizhi promised that Fengdebao Firm would compensate Luo Rengu for the goods. Then, Longying Private Bank would intervene, arranging for Shenqin Cotton Mill to provide Sheng'an Hospital with six thousand kilograms of medical cotton yarn for free, alleviating the difficulties caused by the rising price of cotton yarn. He also agreed to let bygones be bygones regarding Luo Rengu's assassination action against Huang Ruhong. Luo Rengu considered it carefully and accepted Cheng Yizhi's suggestion.
Cheng Yizhi returned to report to Huang Ruhong, openly stating that Huang Ruhong had secretly hoarded Luo Rengu's batch of arms. Huang Ruhong gave him full authority to deal with that batch of goods, even allowing them to be publicly burned. Huang Ruhong treated Cheng Yizhi as his own child and was willing to yield to him. Wu Lizi found several Belorussian bodyguards. Liao Lan tested their marksmanship on the spot. Huang Ruhong bravely endured to see Cheng Yizhi off.
He saw Wu Lizi and Liao Lan together. Huang Ruhong congratulated Wu Lizi on her father being rehabilitated. Wu Lizi forced a smile and greeted him. Cheng Yizhi wanted to donate that batch of arms to the National Revolutionary Army, and Huang Ruhong let him decide how to handle it. Cheng Yizhi took Wu Lizi to the photo studio to retrieve their photos. He noticed that Wu Lizi had been restless, thinking she was worried about his safety.
Cheng Yizhi promised to live a good life with Wu Lizi from then on. He wanted to kiss Wu Lizi on the street, but Wu Lizi desperately pushed him away. That night, Wu Lizi went to bed early. She pretended to be asleep, and Cheng Yizhi found it inconvenient to disturb her. Cheng Yizhi came to the private bank early in the morning and gave Heart-shaped Face a piece of money.
Mr. Sun arrived shortly after, bringing the contract signed by Yizhong Company and Fengdebao Firm, entrusting Cheng Yizhi to seek compensation from them. Mr. Sun interpreted the names of the firearms and ammunition represented by the coded language in the contract one by one. Cheng Yizhi went home and found the account book left by Wu Zhifu, organizing the quantities and names of the sold arms according to what Mr. Sun had said.
Wu Lizi found herself gradually falling in love with Cheng Yizhi. She dared not face this feeling, yet she couldn't control it, leaving her conflicted. Wu Lizi came to Charlie for help and recounted everything about Huang Ruhong killing her father. Wu Lizi wanted to kill Huang Ruhong with her own hands. Charlie advised her to calm down, stating that if Huang Ruhong was truly her father's murderer, he couldn't possibly be unwary of her.
However, Wu Lizi had already obtained concrete human and material evidence, and she was determined to kill Huang Ruhong, otherwise she would not rest in peace. Huang Ruhong told Leizi to dispose of the arms hidden in the wharf warehouse, shut down all the opium dens and gambling houses on Bixun Road, and suspend opium transportation from other places. Leizi immediately went to handle it.
Cheng Yizhi asked Shimazaki Tadashi to help investigate Fengdebao Firm and the whereabouts of the arms hidden at the wharf. Cheng Yizhi found out that Huang Ruhong was the real murderer of Wu Zhifu. He felt an unprecedented fear and dared not let Wu Lizi know the truth, worried that she would fall into greater danger for revenge. Cheng Yizhi went home and spoke about Zhou Guangxian's death, stating that from then on, her father's matter was completely over.
Cheng Yizhi advised Wu Lizi to forget the pain of the past and for the two of them to live a good life. Wu Lizi said nothing, but became even more certain that Cheng Yizhi knew Huang Ruhong had killed her father and was deliberately lying to her. Huang Ruhong's birthday was approaching. Wu Lizi wanted to give Huang Ruhong high-quality ginseng, but Cheng Yizhi knew Huang Ruhong disliked tonics, so he decided to give him cigars.
Liao Lan invited Cheng Yizhi and Wu Lizi to her home for dinner and asked Leizi to bring out her Fenjiu, which she had treasured for years, to celebrate. Wu Lizi forced a smile and toasted Huang Ruhong. Liao Lan wanted to host a grand birthday banquet for Huang Ruhong, inviting all their relatives and friends to celebrate together. Wu Lizi planned to act on the day of the birthday banquet. She immediately went to Charlie to discuss it.
Charlie tried every means to stop her, but Wu Lizi was already prepared to die with Huang Ruhong. Wu Lizi proactively helped Liao Lan prepare for the birthday banquet and deliberately revealed to her that Huang Ruhong had recently bought a three-carat diamond necklace from Zhu Kebao at Lushan Hall and also an expensive mink fur coat from a department store.
Liao Lan was completely unaware of this and tried her best to defend Huang Ruhong, explaining that he had given them to important clients. Director Gao came to ask Cheng Yizhi to go to Changsha with him to find land for the Zhenzhen branch factory. Cheng Yizhi had just heard that the firearms in the wharf warehouse had been transferred, and he wanted to investigate the whereabouts of the arms, but Director Gao couldn't make decisions alone.
Cheng Yizhi had no choice but to agree to go with him. Before leaving, Cheng Yizhi called Shimazaki Tadashi to inform him of his address in Changsha, asking Shimazaki Tadashi to notify him immediately if he had any news. Liao Lan found out that Huang Ruhong was having an affair with Luzhu from Fuxiang Hall and confronted Huang Ruhong. Not only did Huang Ruhong not admit his mistake, but he also spoke with conviction.
Shimazaki Tadashi quickly found out that all the arms in the wharf warehouse had been sold to the National Revolutionary Army's 26th Army, and they were planning to ambush the Communist-led labor movement team and armed workers tomorrow night. Cheng Yizhi learned from Director Gao that Professor Lu was helping to write a petition. He immediately called Professor Lu, learning that he and his wife had gone to Suzhou and had not yet returned.
Cheng Yizhi asked the nanny to inform Professor Lu not to return to Shanghai for the time being. Cheng Yizhi asked Director Gao to inform Mr. Fan to let the Communist Party prepare early, but Director Gao could not reach Mr. Fan. Cheng Yizhi immediately decided to rush back to Shanghai. Wu Lizi came to Charlie to borrow a gun and learned that the 26th Army was going to ambush the Communist Party. Cheng Yizhi rushed to inform Professor Lu.
