The Double Episode 20 Recap
> The Double Recap
Xue Fangfei couldn't believe there was such a large gold mine here. She suddenly realized that everything was connected, and it was because of this that her father was ruthlessly pursued. The two of them watched from above as the civilians doing hard labor were brutally whipped by the soldiers, without any chance to resist. Seeing all this made Xue Fangfei very angry.
Taking advantage of a break, Xue Fangfei approached them. These people had once been her father's trusted aides. She revealed her identity to them, but now she could only be here as Jiang Li. They wanted Xue Fangfei to leave quickly, but she insisted she would save them. Xiao Heng was standing guard outside and soon noticed someone approaching. He quickly pulled Xue Fangfei into an outhouse to hide. When Xue Fangfei made a noise, Xiao Heng urgently carried her on his back, and fortunately, they weren't discovered.
Xiao Heng warned Xue Fangfei that her actions were too risky. Xue Fangfei then shared the escape route with everyone. After regrouping, they prepared to escape through a small path, but patrolling soldiers appeared again. Xiao Heng swiftly dealt with them, but the two guards who were initially knocked out were discovered, forcing Xiao Heng and Xue Fangfei to retreat quickly.
The mute old woman was captured by Feng Yutang. He suspected that she had revealed information to Xue Fangfei. To confirm if Jiang Li was indeed Xue Fangfei, Feng Yutang tried to get close to the mute old woman to kill her, but she was stabbed several times by Feng Yutang instead. He then released his dogs to maul her to death.
Xiao Heng successfully led Xue Fangfei and the others to escape. Feng Yutang was furious when he realized they had found the gold mine. At this moment, he received a message instructing him to kill everyone, which relieved him of any concerns. Xue Fangfei's group continued their journey but were suddenly ambushed by black-clad men. Although they fought back, Xue Fangfei was almost surrounded while escaping alone. Xiao Heng rushed to save her.
Xue Fangfei got injured while evading the attackers. In a critical moment, Xiao Heng's personal guard appeared, and they managed to defeat the black-clad men. Xiao Heng was injured on his arm, and his subordinate hastily bandaged it. Xue Fangfei was worried about Xiao Heng and said she was willing to serve him at any time. Xiao Heng planned to go to the county office, and Xue Fangfei wanted to join him. He agreed and gave her the first task of mending a torn handkerchief.
Feng Yutang didn't expect Xiao Heng to be so formidable. He prepared a banquet for his subordinates, knowing that failure would mean death, so he decided to feast one last time. Xiao Heng's group suddenly burst in and brought up the gold mine issue. Feng Yutang dragged out Xue Fangfei's father, intending to use him as leverage, demanding gold and safe passage in exchange for his life. Xiao Heng readily agreed.
Xue Fangfei remained silent, her eyes filled with tears. Feng Yutang held Xue Fangfei's father hostage, who kept calling out her name. Xiao Heng secretly asked Xue Fangfei if she trusted him, and she nodded.
Feng Yutang believed he could escape safely, but as they were leaving, they were ambushed. Feng Yutang was poisoned by his own subordinates during the feast. Xue Fangfei learned that the mute old woman had been tortured to death by Feng Yutang, and she couldn't let him go. She stabbed him repeatedly, avenging all those he had tormented.
A group of black-clad men appeared to kill them all, and Feng Yutang was naturally killed. However, Xue Fangfei's father had a mental breakdown and could no longer recognize her. Xue Fangfei vowed to avenge her father for all the suffering he endured.
After calming her father, Xue Fangfei met Xiao Heng outside. The guards wanted the civilians to stand up for her father, but they were too frightened. The villagers only wanted to live peacefully now, having faced severe beatings when they tried to stand up in the past.
Xue Fangfei visited the neighboring house, where the aunt couldn't believe Xue Fangfei was still alive. Her father was to be executed the next day, and she begged the aunt to speak out for her father. Seeing the injuries on the aunt's hands and the uncle's legs, Xue Fangfei realized they too had been brutally tortured.
