Dawn Amidst Hidden Clouds Episode 3 Recap
> Dawn Amidst Hidden Clouds Recap
Lan Che arrived at Yuyan Tower to find Hu Zhi, but the madam there told her it wasn’t a suitable place for a woman to be. Ignoring this, Lan Che started loudly calling for Hu Zhi, who eventually appeared. Hu Zhi, considering her a guest since she was already there, invited Lan Che into a room. However, after a few words, Hu Zhi suddenly pulled a knife from under the table.
Meanwhile, Lou Mingye had also discovered that Wu Ming was connected to Hu Zhi, so he headed to Yuyan Tower. On his way, he encountered Lan Che and told her not to worry about the property deed, as he was sure he could get it for her. Lou Mingye urged Lan Che to go back and not get involved further in this matter.
The madam at Yuyan Tower asked Hu Zhi why, since they knew Lan Che wasn’t the person they were looking for, he hadn’t killed her. Hu Zhi responded that although she might not be, the people behind her could still be involved. Back at the pharmacy, Lan Che thought it was better to rely on herself, so she decided to use the Lanyuan Gathering at Yuyan Tower as an opportunity to steal back the deed.
She shared her plan with Xiao Dao and Xiao Luo. Although they had never been to Yuyan Tower, they were willing to support her. Lou Mingye, meanwhile, also learned that Wu Ming would be attending this Lanyuan Gathering, knowing Wu Ming was linked to his father’s death; Lou Mingye was determined to find him. Disguised, Lan Che, Xiao Luo, and Xiao Dao arrived at Yuyan Tower.
Lan Che wore a fake mustache, and though the madam commented that she looked familiar, she didn’t recognize her. Lan Che saw that entry to the Lanyuan Gathering required a waist tag, so she signaled to Xiao Luo, who then stole a tag from a stout man and handed it to Lan Che. Just as she was about to go upstairs, she bumped into Li Mo.
Thinking that if she didn’t have urgent business, she’d make him answer for daring to take advantage of her, she brushed it off and continued. As she reached the second floor, the madam recognized her as someone new and was about to call someone to take her away, but Lou Mingye arrived just in time. Lan Che quickly claimed she was with Lou Mingye, though he initially denied it.
Lan Che shot Lou Mingye a look, implying that if he didn’t help her, she wouldn’t hesitate to escalate things. Lou Mingye had no choice but to confirm, and Hu Zhi, standing next to him, asked the madam to let her go and arranged seating for them. Soon, the Lanyuan Gathering began, with various items up for auction.
When the final item, a pearl from the Eastern Seas, was presented, Lou Mingye recognized the ebony box holding it as his father Lou Huaiyun’s personal belonging. He was determined to reclaim it, but Li Mo kept bidding against him, saying that no matter what Lou Mingye offered, he would double it. Lou Mingye had Lan Che tell Li Mo that he only wanted the box and would buy the pearls to give to him if he wished.
Li Mo finally stopped bidding, but soon after, someone informed Lou Mingye that Hu Zhi wanted to see him. Lan Che intended to follow, but the messenger said Hu Zhi had only requested Lou Mingye alone. Lou Mingye told her to wait there. Once he entered the room, Hu Zhi embraced him, brushing her hands against his face and lips. Lou Mingye remarked that he’d heard Hu Zhi was Yuyan Tower’s star performer.
He hadn’t finished his sentence when Hu Zhi interrupted, saying she knew her plain appearance couldn’t possibly please him. Worried about Lou Mingye’s safety, Lan Che used M-drug to knock out the guard and went to rescue him. Surprisingly, she accidentally saved Li Mo instead. Lou Mingye, meanwhile, recognized the man beside Hu Zhi as the true master of Yuyan Tower and the person he had been searching for—Wu Ming.
Wu Ming told him that Lou Huaiyun’s death had nothing to do with him, claiming Leng Quji was responsible. Lou Mingye retorted that Wu Ming and Leng Quji were both involved in the Wu You San trade and that he would uncover the truth. Wu Ming warned that Lou Mingye wouldn’t have the chance, and as he spoke, Lou Mingye slumped in his chair, feeling dizzy.
It turned out that Hu Zhi had poisoned him with M-drug when she touched him. Wu Ming suggested that continuing this investigation would only bring Lou Mingye pain and that it might be better if he just ended things for him.
