Li Hanying revealed to the public the truth behind the charges against Jin Shixi. Through this case, Li Hanying forged a friendship with Song Nayun, a journalist who had previously helped him in his public relations efforts. When Song Nayun's father was falsely accused of theft and faced a crisis, Li Hanying leveraged his legal knowledge and abilities to help him. From Song Nayun, Li Hanying learned that the stolen homeowner was Li Changhao, the president of a hospital in Korea. He immediately deduced that the stolen items likely included an internal ledger documenting cases of military service fraud involving political and legal figures. Thus, he saw an opportunity to use this case to achieve his own goals.
Meanwhile, upon hearing about the loss of the ledger, Jiang Xinzhen was furious. He realized that his carefully laid plans were in danger of collapsing, and promptly called Guo Chunyuan, his subordinate, with a clear directive to retrieve the ledger at any cost. On the other hand, Li Hanying was also eager to obtain the ledger. He enlisted the help of Shi Zhenghao, a friend who ran a high-interest loan business, and his extensive network of informants to search for the ledger. Shi Zhenghao, through his own network of employees, discovered that the burglar who had broken into Li Changhao's home was a notorious thief known as "Knife." However, the trail indicated that "Knife" had already discarded the ledger as trash somewhere.
Li Hanying and Shi Zhenghao's team had to traverse several recycling stations in the neighborhood, searching tirelessly. Just when their search seemed to be at a standstill, Li Hanying received a notification from his mother Shen Nanshu, who ran a recycling station. She had found the ledger. Li Hanying quickly organized and held a press conference to leverage this newfound evidence.
