The Justice Episode 18 Recap
> The Justice Recap
Cheng Yizhi drove home, his mind racing all the way. He shuddered recalling Huang Ruhong's actions, and wanted to quickly break free from Huang Ruhong's control, worried about Wu Lizi's safety. Cheng Yizhi drove distractedly, almost hitting an oncoming cyclist, which startled him. Early in the morning, Cheng Yizhi held a meeting to announce that his men should audit the Longying Private Bank's accounts within three days as a birthday gift for Huang Ruhong.
Cheng Yizhi was going to see Director Gao to discuss finding land to open a branch factory, leaving Heart-shaped Face to keep an eye on things at the bank. Heart-shaped Face curiously asked about his whereabouts, and Cheng Yizhi told him truthfully. Upon leaving, Cheng Yizhi discovered he was being followed, suspecting that someone had leaked his whereabouts. He calmly drove around and returned to the bank.
Heart-shaped Face hurriedly came over to inquire about the true purpose of auditing the accounts. Cheng Yizhi grew suspicious of him but insisted it was a birthday gift for Huang Ruhong. Before leaving, Cheng Yizhi locked the documents in a box and deliberately left a mark. Wu Lizi borrowed a pocket pistol from the foreman.
She came to Charlie asking for a type of poison that could be hidden in her teeth, so that if the operation to assassinate Huang Ruhong failed, she would commit suicide by taking the poison. Charlie advised her not to bang her head against a stone wall, not wanting to lose his only friend. But Wu Lizi's mind was made up; she wanted to use this poison pill to give herself more confidence.
Charlie couldn't dissuade her and had to agree. Immediately after, Wu Lizi came to find Liao Lan to discuss the arrangements for Huang Ruhong's birthday banquet. Liao Lan had gone to attend a Shanxi Provincial Association meeting and wasn't home. Wu Lizi wanted to change the round tables to long tables. Huang Ruhong let Wu Lizi handle these matters completely.
Just as Wu Lizi was about to leave, Huang Ruhong suddenly called out to her, advising her to quickly have a child with Cheng Yizhi so that Cheng Yizhi could fully enjoy family happiness. Leizi carefully selected a pair of priceless calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, intending to give them to Huang Ruhong as a birthday gift.
He sent people to monitor Cheng Yizhi's every move, learning that Cheng Yizhi was leading his men to work overtime day and night to audit the bank's profits, hoping to give this as a gift to Huang Ruhong. Early in the morning, Cheng Yizhi came to the bank and discovered that the documents in the box had been tampered with. He suspected there was a mole in the bank but suffered from a lack of concrete evidence.
Charlie helped Wu Lizi find that poison, but it required a dentist's help beforehand to hide the medicine in her teeth gaps. Wu Lizi impatiently put the poison in. She suddenly felt constant abdominal pain. Charlie took her to the hospital for examination, where they found out Wu Lizi was pregnant. Wu Lizi was dumbfounded. Charlie advised her to temporarily give up this revenge mission for the sake of the child.
Wu Lizi resolutely refused; she did not want to miss this excellent opportunity and begged the doctor to perform an abortion. The doctor dared not do it immediately, needing to find out the cause of her abdominal pain before operating. Wu Lizi couldn't wait and had to leave in tears, with Charlie following closely behind. After Cheng Yizhi and his men's unremitting efforts, the audit work was finally completed ahead of schedule.
He treated his men to a meal at a restaurant. Liao Lan suddenly came to find Cheng Yizhi. She was dissatisfied with Wu Lizi's arrangements. Wu Lizi had changed the round tables for the banquet to long tables and even arranged for her to sit opposite Huang Ruhong. Huang Ruhong also agreed to this arrangement. Liao Lan was very angry. Cheng Yizhi repeatedly explained that Wu Lizi was decorating according to Westerners' ways.
Liao Lan believed that Huang Ruhong did not want to sit next to her, and then revealed Huang Ruhong and Luzhu's affair. Cheng Yizhi had no choice but to tacitly agree. Wu Lizi, disregarding Charlie's dissuasion, went overnight to find a private clinic to have an abortion. Cheng Yizhi secretly returned to the bank and discovered Heart-shaped Face looking through his account books. Cheng Yizhi came in to demand an explanation, suspecting Leizi secretly instigated him.
Heart-shaped Face confessed that it was Huang Ruhong who arranged it, worried that Cheng Yizhi was going down the wrong path. Cheng Yizhi had to admit that he wanted to leave Longying Private Bank. He suddenly remembered Liao Lan's words and only then realized that Huang Ruhong had long begun to suspect Wu Lizi. He deliberately remained inactive, waiting for Cheng Yizhi's decision.
If Cheng Yizhi supported Wu Lizi in harming him, the two of them would have nowhere to be buried. Cheng Yizhi did not want to implicate Heart-shaped Face, and hurriedly took out all the bank's cash for him, telling Heart-shaped Face to immediately leave Shanghai. Wu Lizi was at the small clinic having an abortion. She fell into a coma due to heavy bleeding. Thankfully, Charlie arrived in time. He immediately called to inform Cheng Yizhi.
Cheng Yizhi accidentally discovered Charlie gave the clinic doctor hush money and only then realized that Wu Lizi was suffering from heavy bleeding due to the abortion. He and Charlie took Wu Lizi to Sheng'an Hospital for emergency treatment. After the medical staff's full efforts to rescue her, Wu Lizi was finally out of danger, but the child could not be saved. Cheng Yizhi suppressed his grief, staying by Wu Lizi's hospital bed without leaving her side. Wu Lizi finally woke up. Seeing Cheng Yizhi watching over her, her heart was filled with self-reproach.
