Under the school dormitory building, Xu Mingzhu publicly challenges Shen Zhiwei, insisting that she cannot possibly be an elder of the Ji family. The entire crowd falls silent. Xu Mingzhu voices her doubts, but members of the Ji family refute her one by one. The livestream continues, and Xu Mingzhu, unwilling to admit defeat, brings up the eight million yuan in expenses to attack Shen Zhiwei, who responds calmly. Ji Xubai says with heartbreak that the shattered longevity pendant was the Ji family's only ancestral heirloom. When Xu Mingzhu makes a contemptuous remark, Ji Xubai slaps her. Xu Mingzhu then turns to Ji Chenzhou for help, only to be rejected and scorned by him. Shen Zhiwei calmly informs Xu Mingzhu that the Ji family will settle every one of her transgressions. Sirens sound as Ji Chenzhou prepares to deal with the matter alongside his brothers.
