## Story

Wu Xie wonders why his uncle, Wu Sanxing, left him the piece of land in the way he did. While preparing to travel to the land left to him, Wu Xie receives news that the coffin case in which he got hurt, has been resolved. The parties at fault of the leak were re-educated while the hurt workers were out of danger and recovering. The coffins had now been safely stored.

Wu Xie confesses his secret that he might die soon to Zhang Qiling.

Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi realize Wu Sanxing left him an old weather station and start exploring it but discover it has been abandoned for a long time. While ranting about their unsuccessful search, Wang Pangzi discovers something behind a cupboard. Upon removing the cupboard they find a hidden door with a note stuck on it. Inside the room, the corpse of a man is waiting for them.

Wang Pangzi starts hesitating when he finds a dog tag stating "Xing" on the corpse. Noticing his hesitation, Wu Xie asks for the tag and, also, finds a metal lighter which has "San" engraved on it, which he himself put on the lighter of his uncle when he was a child.

Enraged that his hope of finding his uncle alive has been lost, Wu Xie claims this is a trap set by someone and starts rummaging around in the room. Wang Pangzi tries to calm him down and Wu Xie goes into a coughing fit. He confesses his hopelessness. After sitting down on the bed in the room, a cassette tape falls to the ground and they discover hidden compartments under the bed, filled with more tapes.

Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi decide to investigate the dead skeleton to find out if it is really Wu San Xing. They find a wallet and after cleaning it, discover an ID with the name of Yang Daguang. Upon further investigation, they find a photo of Yang Daguang with Wu Sanxing with a giant tape recorder. In the background of the photo, Wu Xie recognizes Chen Wenjin. They find the number 044 engraved on the ID and the photo, wondering what it means.

Back at Wushanju, they listen to the cassette tapes. First hearing only Chinese opera, they switch the tape sides and hear a recording of thunder. After playing multiple tapes, they realize Yang Daguang was listening to and recording thunder at the weather station.

Hopeful to find a clue in the tapes, Wu Xie continues listening to the tapes without break, even when going to sleep. Wang Pangzi tries to intervene and steal his tape player but wakes up Wu Xie in the process. After arguing over his behavior, Wu Xie realizes a thunderstorm is roaming outside and runs out with the tape recorder. Wang Pangzi follows him worried and with an umbrella.

Wu Xie uploads one of the old cassettes and the new recording of thunder onto his computer and they realize it is exactly the same sounds, as if it was one and the same recording of a thunderstorm. They wonder if there is a secret message or information hidden in the recordings and Wu Xie ponders if there might be more people listening to thunder.

With Wang Pangzi encouraging him to ask his uncle Wu Erbai, as he knows more about the people in this area of activity, Wu Xie travels to the Wu Clan residence. He encounters his uncle playing video games with various men kneeling behind him. After ignoring them, he asks Wu Xie to play against him. Wu Xie tries to tell him about the message sent by Wu Sanxing but is ignored as well. He loses the game and Er Jing, Wu Erbai's right hand man, informs them that Xue Wu has arrived.

Wu Erbai tells Wu Xie to continue playing while he takes care of their guest. Xue Wu reprimands the kneeling men to not greet him as politely as Wu Erbai is his teacher in the business world.

While sitting down for tea, Wu Erbai confronts Xue Wu about an auction deal he stole from the Huo Clan, who are seeking retribution. Wu Erbai, who was asked to mediate, gives him an ultimatum: either to clear up the problem with the Huo family by himself and pay the contract compensation which he notes Xue Wu would not be able to afford; or walk out of the Wu residence with a bronze stick and a teacup on his head. If he manages to not spill a drop of the tea in the cup, the issue is seen as resolved.

Xue Wu offers to pay Wu Erbai double for what he is being paid by the Huo's but is declined. Knowing he cannot afford to anger Wu Erbai and lose the money, he decides to accept the embarrassing penalty of having to try to balance the cup. Outside, once rid of the teacup, he decides to keep the bronze stick in hopes of being able to return the embarrassment to the Wu family in the future.

Finally able to talk with his uncle, Wu Xie confronts him about Wu Sanxing but Wu Erbai changes the topic and presents him with photos of women who he wants Wu Xie to go on a date with so that he can finally get married. After failing to convince his uncle that he is still young and should work first, Wu Xie claims Wu Erbai is young himself and could also produce another heir for the family. Refusing to give into Wu Xie's curiosity about Wu Sanxing, Wu Erbai starts calculating the debt Wu Xie's adventures have cost the family so far, asking for his nephew to return it. While Wu Xie first agrees, he soon realizes that the amount is too high for him to pay. Changing the topic back to Wu Sanxing, Wu Erbai tells him that his uncle is none of Wu Xie's business and takes the recording of thunder he brought with him. Wu Xie leaves.
