Wei Guoping, master and apprentice, turned their heads and drove towards the path, and finally found Nie Baohua safe and sound at the branch road. Although Nie Baohua's car and leather shoes were covered with mud, he did not reveal his actual situation to Wei Guoping, and drove away in a swaggering manner. Just as Nie Baohua left, Wei Guoping suddenly received the news that Nie Xiaoyu had been killed.
When he rushed to the scene of the crime in a hurry, waited anxiously for the car to be salvaged ashore, and confirmed that there was no body of Nie Xiaoyu in the car, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. According to the police analysis, either Nie Xiaoyu's body drifted away with the river, or he is still alive, but his whereabouts are unknown.
For many days, Wei Guoping searched for Nie Xiaoyu along the shore. Everyone in the third team was very worried about Wei Guoping's situation, after all, this incident had brought him a great blow. Since the search and rescue team had stopped the salvage operation, Wei Guoping was left alone with a bag on his back and a wooden stick and did not give up. Knowing that the hope was very slim, he sat by the river at night and did not go far.
Liu Shunkui really couldn't stand it, so he could only call Gu Weidong to help dissuade Wei Guoping. However, Wei Guoping pretended to be relaxed on the surface, but in fact he was heartbroken. He always felt that Nie Xiaoyu was still alive, and he insisted on seeing people and dead bodies, so he refused to go back with Liu Shunkui and Gu Weidong.
That night, Baoli was taken by Sanhuo to the abandoned construction site in the suburbs, where Nie Baohua had been waiting for a long time. It turns out that Nie Baohua knew of Baoli's conspiracy in advance, so he simply pretended to forgive him, deliberately revealed that he was going to Shanghai, secretly bought Zhao Gang's confidants, and used Baoli's hand to get rid of him.
So Zhao Gang's wishful thinking failed, and he was killed by Nie Baohua, and finally suffered the consequences. As for Baoli, seeing through Nie Baohua's true face, she angrily reprimanded him for treating himself and his younger brother as pawns from beginning to end, but he is also Zhao Shijie's pawns. Sure enough, this remark completely angered Nie Baohua, and Baoli was buried alive.
After Wei Guoping's unremitting efforts, he finally discovered that the thing about Nie Xiaoyu was the gift box she gave him back then. Seeing that the box was soaked by the river water, Wei Guoping felt sad and called Nie Xiaoyu's name loudly, hoping that someone could respond to him. Sitting on the top of the hillside in a daze at night, he saw Chen Shanhe in a daze. He confessed to Chen Shanhe that he liked Nie Xiaoyu, repeatedly shouted the word "stop", and burst into tears.
When Wei Guoping woke up, he had already been taken home by his master Gu Weidong. When he woke up, he saw his younger sister Wei Xiaoxia busy in the kitchen, and his mental state was obviously different. During this period of time, Wei Xiaoxia did many things, and she was not as decadent as before. Instead, she sold some paintings for some money, and prepared some food for Wei Guoping, encouraging Wei Guoping to continue looking for Nie Xiaoyu, believing that she must not be dead yet.
Not long after, Wei Guoping came to the MGM Song and Dance Hall to investigate the situation about Zhao Shijie, hoping to get clues through the lobby manager to confirm whether Zhao Shijie abused Qin Xiang. Under the recommendation of the manager, Wei Guoping met Lili, a girl helped by Nie Xiaoyu. She had suffered inhuman abuse, so Wei Guoping successfully persuaded her to agree to go to the police station to report Zhao Shijie.
On the other side, Chen Haohan came to Nie Baohua, wanting to work with him, and admitted that he was the mysterious person who tipped off Wei Guoping. Ever since Zhao Gang sent his subordinates to set fire to the electrical machinery factory, Chen Haohan had long wanted to leave this man. Now he took the initiative to make friends with Nie Baohua, but Nie Baohua did not respond clearly.
While talking, Zhao Shijie came over suddenly, and Sanhuo took Chen Haohan out through the back door. Zhao Shijie heard that Nie Baohua had found Jiang Guangshan, so he asked him to watch Jiang Guangshan for him. Chen Haohan successfully persuaded the old employees of the electrical machinery factory to sign, and then went home to persuade his father to sign the electrical machinery factory transfer agreement and received a sum of money.
Chen Yougui became furious and had a big fight with Chen Haohan. His wife felt sorry for the only baby son in the family. Under her persuasion, Chen Yougui had no choice but to agree to sign. Afterwards, Chen Haohan came to Nie Baohua again with the agreement, and explained his purpose straight to the point, hoping to follow Nie Baohua to find out the real culprit of the 88 case.
