Chen Mingzhang's investigation had become widely known within the industry. When Zhou Wei, Hu Cheng's senior brother (Shige), learned about it, he approached Hu Cheng to inquire. However, Hu Cheng had always concealed his dealings with Chen Mingzhang from Zhou Wei. Since Zhou Wei trusted Hu Cheng, he believed him when Hu Cheng claimed they had no significant dealings.

To show goodwill, Hu Cheng secretly bought classic and versatile furniture for Zhou Wei, who had recently moved into a new home, hoping that Zhou Wei and his wife wouldn’t mind. Zhou Wei was touched by Hu Cheng’s gesture, and his wife also appreciated the thoughtfulness. Hu Cheng’s tactic to win their favor proved effective. Chen Mingzhang couldn’t get in touch with Hu Cheng, so he had no choice but to visit the company in person.

In the past, he had privately misappropriated company funds to invest in Hu Cheng’s ventures. Now that Hu Cheng couldn’t fill this financial gap, Chen Mingzhang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Their conversation was accidentally overheard by Hu Zibo. Hu Cheng needed to quickly raise money to pay back Chen Mingzhang’s funds, but the amount wasn’t small, and he required time to gather it.

Meanwhile, Mu Xiao discovered that a significant portion of Hu Cheng's shares had been transferred to Mingdu Club. She immediately called Ning Yue to share the discovery, but she suggested discussing the details in person. Ning Yue decided to formally propose a divorce to Hu Cheng. However, knowing he wouldn’t easily agree, she planned to first move out with Hu Ziyuan.

Around this time, Zhou Wei suddenly went missing, and the HR department soon received a resignation letter from him via email. Panicked, Hu Cheng drove to Zhou Wei’s new home, only to be informed by a neighbor that no one lived there and the renovation team had long since left. Hu Cheng believed Zhou Wei had been poached by someone else. He instructed the company to investigate who had recruited Zhou Wei and reassigned Zhou Wei’s projects to Hu Zibo.

Despite feeling betrayed, Hu Cheng decided to temporarily retain Zhou Wei’s position but suspend his salary, convinced that Zhou Wei would eventually come back to him. Zhou Wei’s abrupt departure deeply hurt Hu Cheng, as Zhou Wei was his only friend. Ning Yue initially wanted to hand him the divorce papers, but seeing Hu Cheng so distressed, she hesitated and held back for the moment. Meanwhile, Chen Mingzhang discovered that Ning Yue was the one working against him.

Furious, he contacted Hu Cheng and revealed that Ning Yue was technically an outsourced employee. Hu Cheng became enraged, especially after finding an envelope on his desk containing photos of Ning Yue and Qin Can together. Although the photos showed no intimate behavior, Ning Yue appeared genuinely happy in them. In a fit of anger, Hu Cheng drove to Ning Yue’s office and, in front of everyone, forcibly dragged her away. Back home, the two had a heated argument.

Unable to tolerate Hu Cheng’s behavior any longer, Ning Yue took out the divorce papers, insisting on a divorce. Hu Cheng tore up the documents and firmly told her that he despised betrayal. He warned her that resigning was her only option. After picking up Hu Ziyuan from school, Ning Yue took him to her mother’s house. She had already arranged for a new kindergarten but hadn’t told her son about the transfer yet.

Mu Xiao uncovered that the legal representative of Mingdu Club was merely a puppet under Hu Cheng’s control and knew nothing about the operations. She instructed Ning Yue to meet her at the law firm. However, after Mu Xiao hung up, she realized she was being followed.
