Meanwhile, she stumbles upon a familiar face while leaving the Huaixiang District Office.

She meets an old, mute woman she knew from her childhood. The woman is known to be a mute and dumb person around the neighborhood, and this is why Feng doesn’t suspect her. The old woman cleverly slips a note inside Fang Fei’s sleeve, asking her to meet her in private.

Fang Fei exchanges attire with Tong and uses it as a disguise to meet the old lady. But Feng’s subordinates spot her and start to follow her. While trying to lose them, Fang Fei encounters some hooligans who start to harass her. But fortunately, Xiao Heng and his men arrive on time and save her. 

When Xiao Heng spots Feng’s subordinates following Fang Fei, he convinces her to act cozy with him. They intend to make it look like they are two lovers meeting secretly away from home. Furthermore, he warns Feng’s men to stay away from Fang Fei. 

Then, the episode shows Fang Fei meeting the old woman. After a tearful reunion, the lady begs her to leave the country and never come back.

In return, she promises to help settle the matters between the Li and Ye families. Although she can not reveal her agenda, she promises to let him use her as a pawn in his game. Xiao Heng turns down her request initially, but Fang Fei convinces him that their destination is the same. Her sincerity convinces him to team up with her. 

Meanwhile, Magistrate Feng interrogates Xue Huaiyuan to retrieve information about Fang Fei. He tortures him to make him confess that his daughter is here to rescue him from execution.
