When a Snail Falls in Love Episode 5 Recap
> When a Snail Falls in Love Recap
Devil's deals always take place in the dark, like those of human traffickers. Under torrential rain, the fields were muddy. The trafficked deaf-mute girl knelt on the ground, her clothes disheveled. The dark and sticky night obscured her face; only desperate cries choking in her throat could be heard. Her buyer was not satisfied with her and intended to "return" her, which led to the human trafficker brutally beating this weak girl.
Seeing that she was out of breath, the human trafficker got on his motorcycle and sped away. Xu Xu and Yao Meng were in the restaurant, simulating Zhang Shiyong's kidnapping process. Xu Xu concluded that Yang Yu could not have completed a series of kidnappings alone; he definitely had accomplices. Coincidentally, when Ji Bai was checking the surveillance footage of the crime scene, he unexpectedly discovered two suspicious men.
These two men were named Wan Dacai and Liu Shun; they had previously been suspected of smuggling, drug trafficking, and human trafficking. They were arrested in the "521" case but were released after several months of detention due to insufficient evidence. Ye Lanyuan and Zhishan, his old subordinate whom he had known for 42 years, reminisced about the past. When they were still ignorant young men, naive but brave, they went to Myanmar and Vietnam together.
After countless escapes from death, they established today's glorious Ye's Group. However, the news of Ye's Group's heavy losses was leaked. Even mortgaging the best properties and significantly cutting prices could not stop the dismal stock market performance. Who exactly is pulling strings behind the scenes, wanting to destroy Ye's Group?
In the hazy light of the night, Ye Zixi took out her phone and sent Ji Bai a text message: "Tomorrow noon, at the rice noodle shop next to the affiliated high school, don't miss it." The morning sun was bright and warm. Yao Meng came out of the breakfast shop. She bought a lot of breakfast items, preparing to reward the hardworking Xu Xu after her training, and Ji Bai, whom she admired.
Ji Bai and Zhao Han thought the loving breakfast was Xu Xu's masterpiece, and started to feast without a word. Until Xu Xu came in, she calmly guessed it was Yao Meng's doing and even accidentally let slip Yao Meng's girlish crush, making Yao Meng at the door blush and feel awkward. Xu Xu realized she had embarrassed her good friend and was filled with remorse.
Ji Bai observed Xu Xu's sincere concern for her good friend, and a warmth arose in his heart. A person who can treat friends this way must have a pure and simple heart. At the bustling rice noodle shop entrance of the affiliated high school, Ji Bai stood among the coming and going students, searching for Ye Zixi's figure. After searching everywhere fruitlessly, he made a call, but what he heard was Ye Zixi's baffling confession. "
Third Brother, I'll tell you a secret. Since I was very young, I have always, always liked you, but you always treated me like a younger sister. I originally thought I had plenty of time to correct this, but it's just a pity why there are no Doraemon and time machines in this world. Everyone must keep walking on the path they choose for themselves. Third Brother, we don't need to meet again." Ji Bai felt something was wrong.
He suddenly received a notification to go to Xiangchuan County to investigate the death case of the deaf-mute girl, so he had no choice but to depart to investigate the case first. The deceased was a sixteen-year-old trafficked deaf-mute girl, Ma Rongrong.
The reporter was an honest and simple farmer from the county, and also the buyer who originally intended to buy Ma Rongrong as his wife, but then thought she was underage and also deaf-mute, so he wanted to "return" her. On that menacing rainy night, the timid man hid nearby. He only approached after the human trafficker left; however, the girl had already lost her breath. If there were no buying and selling, youthful lives would not wither. Even if no one held a dagger, blood would still be spilled.
