We All Lie Episode 2 Recap
> We All Lie Recap
After organizing her emotions, Su Li returned to the dining table. She believed that the message she received was not baseless, but she couldn’t figure out who the mistress was. To investigate, she decided to use her public display of affection with Zhang Shuheng to observe the reactions of the women at the table. However, she could not spot any obvious clues. That night, Su Li found it difficult to sleep.
She got up and went to the living room, redialing the phone number that had sent her the message, only to discover that it was a disconnected number. It seemed the sender did not want her to know their identity, but Su Li was certain that the sender was one of the people at the dinner. With this suspicion, Su Li told Chen Yingying about the incident.
Chen Yingying pretended to stay calm and asked how Su Li planned to deal with Zhang Shuheng and the mistress. Su Li said she wouldn’t kill them but would play a cat-and-mouse game with them. Chen Yingying, feeling nervous and thinking about how to cover up her own involvement, was unexpectedly recognized by an older woman who had seen her play the mistress in a drama. The woman, angered by Chen Yingying's role, splashed water on her.
Su Li quickly intervened to stop this, and although Chen Yingying was unfairly targeted, it gave her a reason to leave. Zhang Shuheng then sent Chen Yingying a message, and she lied that her boyfriend was picking her up before leaving. Su Li wanted to confirm whether Zhang Shuheng was really cheating, so she went to his office but found he was not there for a meeting. The secretary contacted him by phone, which triggered Su Li’s suspicion.
She linked this to Mr. Wu's contact with Zhang Shuheng, thinking there must be a secret. She instructed the secretary not to inform Zhang Shuheng about her visit. That evening, when Zhang Shuheng returned home exhausted, he said he had been in meetings all day and went to take a shower to relax. Su Li took this opportunity to check Zhang Shuheng's phone and found undeniable evidence of his infidelity, which was too much for her to bear.
Tears streamed down her face. After some painful reflection, Su Li decided to accept the situation but was determined to find the mistress and ensure both Zhang Shuheng and the mistress received their due punishment. After Zhang Shuheng finished his shower and did not notice Su Li’s distress, he pretended to be a good husband and began cooking.
Knowing the mistress had sent Zhang Shuheng a message and that he would likely find an excuse or opportunity to go out, Su Li pretended to be indifferent while she maneuvered around him. Zhang Shuheng slipped a sleeping pill into Su Li's wine glass, planning to go out to meet his lover after she fell asleep. However, Su Li saw through his plan.
She pretended to be unconscious but had already made herself vomit in the bathroom, seeing this as her best chance to catch the mistress. Zhang Shuheng carried the feigned-unconscious Su Li to bed and then went to meet Chen Yingying. Unbeknownst to him, Su Li followed in a taxi. Su Li carefully followed Zhang Shuheng to a nightclub, where she discovered he was meeting with Mr. Wu. Her heart eased slightly, but her relief was short-lived.
She watched in shock as her close friend Chen Yingying approached Zhang Shuheng, sat on his lap, and kissed him. This confirmed that the mistress was indeed Chen Yingying. This revelation was a double blow for Su Li. Overwhelmed, she collapsed on the ground and struggled to calm down. Su Li hoped their intimacy was just a momentary lapse, but when she saw them taking separate elevators to the same hotel room, she could no longer deceive herself.
The reality was inescapable. She had to confront the situation, and after much consideration, she decided against confronting them directly. Instead, she went to a public phone booth and called the police, reporting that there was illegal activity involving prostitution in room 2201.
