Episode 8

Zhengyuan was accidentally kidnapped by Cha Euncai's secretary Jin Shi. This incident aroused great dissatisfaction from Mou Hengze, because he discovered that Jin Shi had not only appeared at Minzhe's house, but also carried a knife.On the other hand, Tae Heon questioned Mo Hyeong Taek's secretary Song Hyo Sung's behavior of following him to Mo Eun City.Mou Hengze firmly denied any connection with Jin Shi and severely reprimanded Song Xiaoxing.

Jung-won wakes up in Eun-chae's brand new office and finds herself tied to a chair.Jin Shi forced her to confess to the murder and took out the bag she had seen at Jin Shi's house as evidence.Meanwhile, Woo-jae is worried because Jung-won hasn't returned home, and he asks Tae-heon if he's seen her, but Tae-heon says he hasn't.

Recalling the day Kim Myung-sook was killed, Kim Se was conducting surveillance outside her home under Song Hyo-sung's instructions.He found that there were other people in the home, so he went in to check and found that Jin Mingshu was dying and there were traces of stab wounds on her body.There was a bag filled with cash nearby, and Jinshi grabbed the bag and fled the scene.

Early the next morning, Taixian was determined to find Zhengyuan's mobile phone and found her car through the location information.He follows Jin Shi's car and eventually discovers Zheng Yuan's location.At this time, Jin Shi was already drunk, but Zheng Yuan managed to cut the tape with a corkscrew and free her hands.She breaks free and locks herself in the bathroom.Tae-hyun arrived in time and stopped Jin-se's attack on Jung-won.Afterwards, they left the building and Woo-jae arrived at the scene.Zhengyuan was sent to the hospital for treatment.

At the hospital, Jung-won tells Tae-heon that she thinks Zeus has been spying on her.When news of Jin Se's arrest came, Tae Heon asked him if he did all this under Mo Hyung Taek's order.Jin Shi admitted his crime.They decided to ask Zhengyuan to write an article exposing Mou Hengze's crimes.Before leaving, Tae-heon hugs Jung-won, apologizes for getting him into this dispute, and confesses his feelings for her.

The next day, Yoon-young goes to the hospital to visit Jung-won, but it's not out of concern - she shows Jung-won a photo of her bloody sleeve.Woo-jae walks in and says he’s thrown away the shirt.When Yoon-young threatens to show Tae-heon the photo, Woo-jae forces her to leave by threatening to reveal that she illegally prescribed him propofol.

Woo Jae revealed to Jung Won that he became addicted to drugs while abroad.He was on the verge of committing suicide when he met Zhengyuan and tried to quit drug addiction.Jung-won wonders why he still can't sleep after taking sleeping pills, and Woo-jae reveals that it's because a girl he once loved passed away, but he doesn't elaborate on the details.

While helping Zhengyuan sort out her clothes, Woo-jae's thoughts drifted back to the past.A flashback shows Jung-won and Woo-jae’s past.They talk about work, and Woo-jae gently removes a necklace from her hair that he gave her as a gift.He placed the necklace gently on the table beside him.

At this time, Zhengyuan received a call.The revelations about Mo Hyung-ze in her article led the congressman to decide to hold a press conference.At the meeting, he admitted that he was a sponsor of Cha Eun-chai and other young people from broken families.He claimed that he supported Encai until she graduated, creating an image of himself as a generous donor.

At the same time, Tae-heon holds a portrait of the person who sent cash to Kim Myung-sook.There was a glimmer of recognition in his eyes.On the other hand, Woo-jae has doubts buried in his heart. He wonders whether Yoon-young took away Jung-won's necklace that day.He clearly remembered placing the necklace gently on the table.In order to find out the truth, he called her, used an apology as an excuse to hide his impulsiveness, and invited her to dinner.

Zhengyuan's team warmly welcomes her back.She was keenly aware of Barron's absence.Tae-heon brings a portrait that is very similar to Barron, revealing that this person is the mysterious figure who sent cash to Ming-sook.After returning to work, Zhengyuan couldn't wait to track down Barron's home address and decided to go check it out in person.She walked quietly into the house and found that the door was unlocked.What is displayed in front of him is a complex set of computer equipment, revealing Barron's unusual secret.In the next room, the wall is covered with photos and newspaper clippings, most of which are closely related to the Mou Hengze and Fengtu fire cases.Through the unread text messages on the desktop, Zhengyuan was shocked. She realized that Barron was the mysterious “Zeus”.Barron's sudden appearance caught Zhengyuan off guard, and before he had a chance to explain, he chose to flee the scene, leaving behind a string of mysteries to be solved.

Woo Jae carefully prepared a romantic dinner for Yoon Young.In this warm atmosphere, the two candidly shared their confusion and powerlessness in love.After the meal, Woo Jae sent the drunk Yoon Young home safely and began a detailed search of her apartment.His eyes finally fell on an inconspicuous USB flash drive, which contained photos of Zhengyuan, especially her accessories and clothing.One of the photos of the necklace caught Woo-jae's attention. It was exactly the same as the one seen at the crime scene.At this moment, Woo-jae is convinced that Yoon-young is the culprit who framed Jung-won for murder.When Yin Ying woke up from her deep sleep the next day and found that the USB flash drive was missing, she fell into a burst of hysterical laughter.Soon after, she handed over a key piece of evidence during an interrogation at the police station - a photo of Jung-won sitting next to Eun-chae's body.This photo closely linked Zhengyuan to the crime scene, pushing her to the forefront.
