As Typhoon Mangkhut approaches, Huo Ting leads twenty refrigerated trucks into Jinshazui, offering a guaranteed floor price of 22 yuan per jin to buy crabs. Jiang Rongguang publicly tears up the contract, inciting the whole village to hold out for windfall profits of 40 yuan. Huo Ting turns to Paitoujiao instead, where Zhou Haisheng braves the gale-force winds through the night to load the trucks. Beating the bridge closure by mere minutes, three hundred tons of live crabs are delivered directly to Shanghai. After the typhoon passes, the crabs in Jinshazui rot away. When Jiang Rongguang blocks the factory gate to dump them, he is punished by environmental and economic crime investigators. The villagers uncover that he secretly sold stock to pocket 1.32 million yuan, and they banish him from the village. Three years later, Jinshazui passes its compliance audit with zero violations, and Huo Ting reopens his doors to them.
