The Justice Episode 17 Recap
> The Justice Recap
The nanny was just about to go out to send a telegram to Professor Lu when she was blocked at home by Leizi and others. Professor Lu and his wife returned to Shanghai in the heavy rain, and as soon as they entered the house, they were taken hostage by Leizi's subordinates. Leizi forced Professor Lu to write a confession, publicly stating that he would no longer participate in the workers' movement.
Professor Lu would rather die than give in, so Leizi ordered Professor Lu to be killed. Cheng Yizhi arrived in time to stop them, repeatedly apologizing to Professor Lu. Leizi forbade him from meddling, but Cheng Yizhi desperately protected Professor Lu, not allowing Leizi to act rashly, and repeatedly emphasizing that Professor Lu was a consultant to the Monetary Association, and even Huang Ruhong showed him some respect.
Leizi took out the regulations for the workers' movement written by Professor Lu. Professor Lu admitted that he wrote it. Leizi, in a fit of rage, shot and killed Professor Lu on the spot. Cheng Yizhi watched this bloody scene with his eyes wide open, completely scared stiff. Leizi was not reassured, and fired several more shots at Professor Lu before leaving with his men.
Wu Lizi came to Professor Lu's house in the heavy rain to deliver a message, and when she saw Professor Lu lying in a pool of blood, she was heartbroken. As soon as Cheng Yizhi returned home, he admitted his mistake to Wu Lizi, saying he failed to protect Professor Lu and his wife. Cheng Yizhi knew that Professor Lu and his wife were Wu Lizi's closest relatives, and Wu Lizi lay on the bed, her face bathed in tears.
Early in the morning, Wu Lizi came to Charlie to borrow a gun. She wanted to personally kill Huang Ruhong to avenge Professor Lu. Charlie didn't want her to take risks, falsely claiming he lent the pistol to the famous actor Boss Guan for self-defense. Wu Lizi earnestly begged Charlie to help her get a pistol, but Charlie flatly refused. Huang Ruhong supplied weapons to the Twenty-Sixth Army, and also sent people to suppress the workers' movement.
He credited all achievements to Secretary Feng. Secretary Feng was about to be promoted, so he specifically came to thank Huang Ruhong for his strong support. Mrs. Lu and the students held a funeral for Professor Lu. Cheng Yizhi saw this scene from afar, feeling very uneasy. Wu Lizi came to the supervisor of the Atlantic Club, wanting to borrow the pocket pistol she hid in her trouser leg. The supervisor handed her the pistol without asking any questions.
Huang Ruhong hosted a banquet to celebrate the success of Leizi and others, and planned to reward them for their merits. Huang Ruhong wanted to wait for Cheng Yizhi to arrive before starting the banquet, and Cheng Yizhi arrived late. Leizi taunted Cheng Yizhi with sarcasm and hurled insults at him, making fun of Cheng Yizhi for losing Professor Lu as a father. Cheng Yizhi retorted sharply.
Huang Ruhong called Cheng Yizhi in, telling him to speak directly and not to hide his thoughts. Huang Ruhong claimed that he had given the firearms to the National Revolutionary Army according to Cheng Yizhi's wishes. Cheng Yizhi angrily denounced him for colluding with the Twenty-Sixth Army to harm the innocent. Huang Ruhong explained that the reason he kept it from him beforehand was to let Cheng Yizhi see the true face of this world.
Huang Ruhong listed the darkness and infighting of the National Revolutionary Army one by one, not wanting to see Cheng Yizhi being deceived. Huang Ruhong encouraged Cheng Yizhi to cheer up and get ready; he planned to announce Cheng Yizhi as his successor at the birthday banquet.
