The Justice Episode 19 Recap
> The Justice Recap
Cheng Yizhi learned from Charlie that Wu Lizi had an abortion. Due to improper operation by the doctor at the small clinic, Wu Lizi's reproductive organs were severely damaged, and her uterus had to be removed. Wu Lizi would never be able to have children again. Cheng Yizhi was heartbroken and blamed Wu Lizi for harming herself. If he had known beforehand that Wu Lizi detested him so much, they would not have been together that night.
Wu Lizi was even more grief-stricken and fainted from excessive sadness. Today was Huang Ruhong's birthday, and the Huang Residence was holding a grand banquet, with celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai attending to show their support. Only Cheng Yizhi was late, and Huang Ruhong insisted on waiting for him to arrive before starting the banquet. Before the banquet began, Liao Lan proactively toasted Huang Ruhong, wishing him a long life.
The maid searched everywhere for Wu Lizi but couldn't find her, so she had to go to Liao Lan. When Liao Lan learned that Wu Lizi had not yet arrived, she rushed to see what was happening. Wu Lizi woke up groggily, and she fully revealed how Huang Ruhong had murdered her father. She wanted to kill Huang Ruhong to avenge her father, and had no choice but to have an abortion.
Cheng Yizhi had known about this for a long time, and Huang Ruhong had also seen through Wu Lizi's motives. The reason he remained inactive was that he had been waiting for Cheng Yizhi to make a choice. Cheng Yizhi unhesitatingly chose Wu Lizi, and then carried Wu Lizi to a certain place. Cheng Yizhi pushed Wu Lizi to the former Shanghai Deposit Bank building, now called Rebang Bank.
Cheng Yizhi had been busy for a long time, wanting to build an ideal bank, not a financial institution controlled by powerful officials and nobles. Cheng Yizhi wanted to do his utmost to fund struggling industries and help the impoverished masses overcome their difficulties. Leizi explored that Cheng Yizhi and Hardoon had teamed up to establish Rebang Bank. Immediately after, Huang Ruhong received Cheng Yizhi's resignation letter. Huang Ruhong reluctantly announced the start of the birthday banquet.
Leizi searched everywhere for Heart-shaped Face, but he had vanished without a trace as if he had evaporated. Leizi suggested completely suppressing Cheng Yizhi. Huang Ruhong didn't want to be ridiculed, so he could only endure it for now. Liao Lan came to Huang Ruhong to confront him, asking him to choose between her and Luzhu. If Huang Ruhong chose Luzhu, the two of them would divorce.
Huang Ruhong tore up the divorce agreement on the spot, coercing Liao Lan to remain Mrs. Huang. Cheng Yizhi carefully selected three high-achieving university graduates, intending to choose a manager assistant from them. The first two arrived for the interview on time, but the third person was late because he helped set up a wooden stake at the entrance. Cheng Yizhi hired him on the spot and asked him to start work immediately.
Cheng Yizhi went to Mr. Zhai to invest in Wande Garden. Mr. Zhai was worried about attracting too much attention and wanted to use the newly established Xianyi Timber Company to invest. As soon as Cheng Yizhi finished his work, he came to the hospital to take care of Wu Lizi. He publicly announced that she was hospitalized for an appendicitis operation. Charlie came to see Wu Lizi.
Wu Lizi told Cheng Yizhi to go attend to his own affairs and asked Charlie to stay and take care of her. Charlie showed great concern for Wu Lizi. Liao Lan insisted on divorcing Huang Ruhong, not wanting to remain a mere ornament at home. Huang Ruhong kept saying that he hadn't changed, instead blaming Liao Lan for not understanding him. For all these years, Liao Lan and Commander Liao had never taken him seriously.
Liao Lan gnashed her teeth in anger, cursed Huang Ruhong vehemently, and swore she would divorce him. Wu Lizi was urgent to be discharged and go home, falsely claiming that her fever had subsided. Cheng Yizhi found that she was still feverish and told her to stay obediently in the hospital to recuperate. Huang Ruhong returned home from Fuxiang Hall early in the morning, only to find that Liao Lan had left without saying goodbye last night.
Huang Ruhong read today's morning paper and learned that Cheng Yizhi was preparing to establish Rebang Bank; he was furious. Cheng Yizhi came to the hospital to see Wu Lizi, but found she wasn't in her ward, and the nurse hadn't seen her either. Cheng Yizhi quickly called Charlie, but Charlie also didn't know Wu Lizi's whereabouts. Wu Lizi came to Liao Lan for help, but Liao Lan shut her out.
Wu Lizi repeatedly apologized to her, wanting to go inside and explain previous matters. Liao Lan no longer believed what she said, and Wu Lizi's desperate pleas were fruitless, so she had to leave in disappointment. Cheng Yizhi wanted to go find Wu Lizi, but the nurse forced him to pay the outstanding hospital fees. But he didn't have that much money on him, so he had to escape through the window.
Unexpectedly, Wu Lizi suddenly returned, claiming she had gone out for a walk. Cheng Yizhi didn't believe her at all, so Wu Lizi had to admit she went to Liao Lan. She wanted Liao Lan to invest in Cheng Yizhi's bank, but she was rejected. Cheng Yizhi advised her not to worry about this matter. Charlie rushed over upon hearing the news.
Cheng Yizhi asked Charlie to investigate the details of Mr. Zhai's newly established Xianyi Timber, worried that Huang Ruhong and Leizi might be playing tricks. Real estate agents, fearing Huang Ruhong's influence, dared not find a house for Liao Lan. Liao Lan was burning with anxiety. Wu Lizi visited Liao Lan again to apologize. She even helped her find a house, but Liao Lan didn't appreciate it at all.
Wu Lizi admitted that she had used her to get revenge on Huang Ruhong for her father's murder. She advised Liao Lan absolutely not to reconcile with Huang Ruhong. Commander Liao almost killed Huang Ruhong back then, and Huang Ruhong had held a grudge ever since, making it impossible for him to be sincere with Liao Lan. Before leaving, Wu Lizi placed the keys to that house at the doorstep.
Charlie quickly handed the investigation results to Cheng Yizhi, who found no abnormalities. Wu Lizi suddenly remembered something: Liao Lan had once revealed that Huang Ruhong sent gifts for the opening of Xianyi Company. However, Cheng Yizhi found no clues of Huang Ruhong and Leizi's involvement in Charlie's investigation results.
