## Story

Jin Wantang continues telling his story: The exploration took three years and every week some members would come back to the camp in stretchers and hurt. After three years the manuscripts stopped coming and he followed a few of Huo Xiangu's people. He found the expedition site, a mountain full of caves. He figured the manuscripts were coming from there but because a lot of the tents and structures were being demolished, he guessed it would soon be over. A few days later, a lot of people came back to the main camp injured and on stretchers. He was ordered to decipher yellow silk manuscripts which were still soaked in blood from the team members. It took him ten days to transfer it to modern Chinese, although he did not manage to understand the code behind it. Being overcome with greed, Jin Wantang decided to take one of the silk manuscripts and sowed it into his shoe. A few days later he was investigated and then ordered into the main tent. He met the leader of the expedition, an unknown but formal man. The man used extreme force from just his two fingers and tortured Jin Wantang that way to get him to confess into stealing. After Huo Xiangu defended him, Jin Wantang managed to be let go and return safely.

Wu Xie contacts his old professor Zheng Fuzhong about the architecture plans and finds out that the lighting in the buildings are not made for living in them, possibly hinting at the building in the plans being used for something that does not need much light, a mortuary. Wu Xie strikes a deal with his professor who is interested in the plans and decides to give it to him if he finds out something about them.

Shortly after they meet at a restaurant and his professor introduces a potential buyer to Wu Xie, although Wu Xie never planned to sell them. Wang Meng and Mop watch them using old trading techniques between antiques dealers but in the end Wu Xie declines the offer and is more interested in the buyer who is ready to pay so much money for the plans. Using the Wu family name he voices his desire to meet this buyer. Later the buyer agrees to meet at Xin Yue Restaurant. Wu Xie also meets with Pan Zi and check how the situation is going with Wu Sanxing's business.

Hendry Cox gets a scanning drone to help the mountain excavation team, leaving Wang Pangzi restless in the village. He continues doing every little task there is to do until Uncle Gui tells him off and stops him from repeating all tasks again for nothing. Just in that moment, Wu Xie calls them, informing them of his plans. Wang Pangzi immediately takes the chance and Zhang Qiling and him decide to help their friend, since Xin Yue Restaurant is a dangerous place.

To commemorate his love for Yun Cai, Wang Pangzi plans to get a tattoo but leaves with only two dots on his skin later, not being able to handle the pain from the tattoos.

They meet with Wu Xie and dress up to enter the restaurant. Due to an ongoing auction they are stopped at the entrance without an invitation or proof they have the money to back them up. Wang Pangzi and Zhang Qiling take out a black credit card they found back in the mountain, belonging to Xie Yuchen, and use it to enter. Xie Yuchen calls them and wonders what they are using his card for at Xin Yue Restaurant since he is on his way there too, to meet Huo Xiangu and find out more about the yellow silk. Wang Pangzi pretends to lose connection and hangs up.

Being shocked at the prices of Xin Yue Restaurant, they decide to go for some cheap tea and are suprised when Xie Yuchen appears as well. After getting to know why Wu Xie and the others are there, he reveals he knows who the buyer is. Before he can elaborate any further they are greeted by Liu Li Sun. He makes remarks about rumors of Wu Sanxing being dead, which Wu Xie promptly denies. Wang Pangzi and Xie Yuchen see the attack on the Wu family and promptly cover for the missing Wu Sanxing, pretending to know he is well and exploring.

After Xie Yuchen leaves for his VIP lounge, Wu Xie and his friends are invited into the room of the buyer as well. The buyer is revealed to be Huo Xiangu. She immediately detests Wu Xie, due to an old grudge with his grandfather Wu Laogou, and decides to only give Wu Xie the answers he seeks if Grandma Wu asks her personally.
