He Huan learned from Zheng Xuejian's mother that Zheng Xuejian didn't have a boyfriend; instead, she was dedicated to making money and bought this second-hand house for her parents with a mortgage. He Huan went to the club but found out that Mr. Zhu had already left, and the new person in charge didn't even know Zheng Xuejian. This made Zheng Xuejian's whereabouts even more mysterious. Jiang Junhao made cookies and specially brought them to He Huan, hoping to cheer her up with desserts. Liu Chunyan received a tip-off hotline about a major news story. A 23-year-old girl committed suicide by jumping off a building due to depression, and her parents suspected that it was caused by frequent overtime work. Liu Chunyan immediately informed He Huan, who took the call, made notes, and then informed Bai Yang. Bai Yang promptly assigned everyone to work on the case.

He Huan was responsible for interviewing the girl's parents, while Ma Chao investigated the information on Xing Kong Company and went there together. Wu Yuanjia went to find relevant lawyers to give some compensation advice to the girl's parents. The rest of the team went to relevant departments, asking for their assistance in reinterpreting the incident from the perspective of labor protection. This news was headline-worthy but not exclusive because the girl's parents had also contacted other news media, including reporters from "On the Scene." He Huan arrived at the address of Ren Zhenzhen's parents and interviewed her mother. Ren's mother accepted the interview, tearfully recounting how her daughter was oppressed by the company's boss, who not only made her work overtime frequently but also deducted her wages and physically abused her. He even colluded with a lawyer from Fangyuan Law Firm and only gave Ren's parents a compensation of 20,000 yuan. He Huan requested the complete original chat records, and Ren's mother hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed to provide them.

At Xing Kong Company, Bai Yang encountered Ren Jie downstairs and was deceived by him to the eighth floor, where Ren Jie went into Xing Kong Company ahead of her. The front desk staff promised to help him ask around, and then Bai Yang arrived. She was about to enter, but she was thrown out by a group of security guards. Bai Yang called He Huan and asked her to check if Ren Zhenzhen's family had the contact numbers of Zhang Weimin or Lawyer Lin. He Huan obtained the contact information and went to Fangyuan Law Firm to find Lawyer Lin. Lawyer Lin said they couldn't interview Mr. Zhang, but He Huan guessed that Zhang Weimin was inside the office, so she deliberately played the recording of Ren's mother's interview. When Zhang heard it, he thought Ren's mother was lying and walked into the office, ignoring the lawyers' obstruction, and agreed to be interviewed by He Huan. Miao Zi didn't understand how He Huan knew that Zhang Weimin was inside, but after He Huan explained a bit, Miao Zi understood. It was evident that He Huan not only had a set of skills as a reporter but also had a keen eye for detail. When Bai Yang told Ren Jie that she was going to Zhang Weimin's hometown, Shuangyang, Ren Jie believed her without any suspicion and drove there but ended up being tricked by Bai Yang.

Zhao Yuanyuan used Zhou Jiaqi's phone to post a marriage proposal on Weibo, and Zhou Jiaqi was bombarded with calls from his uncle and mother. A batch of rice packages from Kirin Group was contaminated, and the rice inside was also tainted. Zhou Jiaqi rushed back to deal with it. Zhao Yuanyuan made up her mind and used the gym's phone to call Ren Jie and provide the tip-off. He Huan interviewed Zhang Weimin, and Bai Yang presented Ren Zhenzhen's attendance records at the company, showing that she worked overtime very frequently. Mr. Zhang claimed that it was Ren Zhenzhen's own request. Faced with Bai Yang's persistent questioning, Mr. Zhang became irritated and emotional during the interview and was pulled away by the lawyers before the interview was finished. Kirin Company's leadership was discussing a solution, and Ren Jie brought people for an interview. Mr. Zhou arranged for Zhou Jiaqi to handle the reporters and claimed that the rumors of the contaminated convenient rice were false.
