The Silence of the Monster Episode 35 Recap
> The Silence of the Monster Recap
He Chufeng delivered the items Gu Nan had demanded to the designated location. Shortly after, he received a text message stating that Sui Yi had been rescued and was at Zhongnan Hospital. He Chufeng immediately called the hospital to confirm. The nurse who answered explained that a phone had been left at the front desk and initially thought he was calling about it. He Chufeng urgently asked if a girl named Sui Yi had been admitted.
The nurse confirmed that Sui Yi had just been sent to the operating room and asked if he was her family. He Chufeng then rushed to the hospital. Luo Bin and Fang Qi were waiting anxiously outside Sui Yi's operating room; Luo Bin had tried to call He Chufeng but couldn't reach him. He Chufeng then went to the police station for questioning. At the police station, He Chufeng cooperated with the interrogation.
He revealed that he had realized the items Gu Nan asked him to transport were drugs the previous day at the warehouse, recalling seeing stamps and Gu Nan's tacit admission that he intended to "ruin" He Chufeng. He also stated that Gu Nan had sent him an address and threatened Sui Yi's life if he did not comply. He confirmed receiving the text message about Sui Yi's hospitalization from an unfamiliar number.
When asked why Gu Nan didn't simply kill him, He Chufeng admitted he didn't know. He Chufeng pleaded to see Sui Yi, promising to return promptly. Chief Chen allowed him thirty minutes. He Chufeng then rushed back to the hospital, where he saw Sui Yi was still undergoing surgery. Luo Bin informed him that her condition "seems not very optimistic." He Chufeng felt a deep sense of self-blame. Fang Qi, however, was unaware of most of what had transpired.
After his allotted time, he reluctantly entrusted Sui Yi's care to Luo Bin and Fang Qi and returned to the police station. The interrogation continued, and He Chufeng reiterated that he hadn't told anyone about Sui Yi's kidnapping and had no knowledge of Gu Nan's whereabouts after leaving the hospital, nor did he notice anyone following him when he opened the safe.
An officer then informed Chief Chen that, based on DNA evidence, Gu Nan was a prime suspect in the murder of a taxi driver. He Chufeng was shocked by Gu Nan's depravity. He also confessed that six years prior, he had reported Gu Nan to the authorities, which led to Gu Nan's imprisonment and inability to continue picking locks.
He Chufeng had believed he was doing the right thing at the time and later wished to make amends, but admitted he was unsure if he hated Gu Nan. The police then confirmed that Gu Nan was dead and that the phone number used to text He Chufeng about Sui Yi's rescue was registered to Gu Nan and had remained within Zhaonuan City for the past month.
At the hospital, Luo Bin decided to go to the police station, worried about He Chufeng, and left Sui Yi with Fang Qi. He Chufeng, still at the police station, repeatedly thought about the text message, wondering who truly sent it. Three days later, He Chufeng visited Sui Yi at the hospital, where her mother was by her side. He Chufeng tearfully apologized, blaming himself for not protecting Sui Yi.
Sui Yi's mother comforted him, assuring him it was not his fault but the bad person's. She then urged him to protect Sui Yi with all his might in the future. He Chufeng stayed by Sui Yi's bedside for many days. When Sui Yi finally woke up, He Chufeng asked her about Gu Nan, but she was unable to speak.
The doctor explained that Sui Yi was fortunate; while her brain was unaffected, prolonged pressure on her neck had severely damaged her vocal cords, making future speech difficult. Sui Yi communicated by typing on her phone, telling the police that she had heard Gu Nan on the phone with another person who was neither Mr. Jin nor Ji Xiuyi. She also typed a message to He Chufeng, smiling, assuring him it wasn't his fault and that she would get better.
Luo Bin expressed his concerns about this "other person," worrying they might harm He Chufeng, and wanted to ask friends for information. Fang Qi tried to persuade Luo Bin to complete a full body check-up he had missed earlier. Luo Bin dismissed her concerns, insisting he was fine and that his injuries were superficial. Fang Qi confronted him about his increasingly strange behavior and unresponsiveness to her messages since Sui Yi's incident.
Luo Bin appeared disoriented and vaguely stated that his time was running out. He Chufeng, observing Luo Bin's peculiar actions, began to develop suspicions. After Sui Yi was discharged, still unable to speak, He Chufeng, touched by her resilience, met with Luo Bin. He Chufeng suggested that the "other person" Sui Yi heard might not have been Gu Nan's accomplice, but rather the individual who saved her.
He Chufeng then directly confronted Luo Bin, asking if he had killed Gu Nan. Luo Bin admitted he had. He Chufeng was distressed, believing Luo Bin had become entangled because of him. However, Luo Bin vehemently denied it, stating he hadn't done it for He Chufeng or Sui Yi, but for himself, and insisted it was none of He Chufeng's business. Luo Bin reiterated his stance, stating that as adults, he could take responsibility for his own actions.
In a moment of reflection, Luo Bin believed that He Chufeng was a righteous man who deserved to remain in the light and continue living the good life he had finally built for himself. He recalled fighting Gu Nan, and when he regained consciousness, Gu Nan was dead. Gu Nan had warned that someone would avenge him. Luo Bin resolved to find that avenger and thwart any revenge or conspiracy, determined to protect He Chufeng. He knew he had to stop that person, whoever they were, and ensure they would not succeed in their plots against He Chufeng.
