Yun Hongshen called Yun Muzhi to inform him that his preparations were almost complete and should satisfy him. He mentioned that during his inventory, he discovered that five invitations were missing. Fortunately, most of the missing guests were acquaintances, and he asked Yun Muzhi to personally call them to explain. However, there were two guests who required formal invitations to be delivered. Yun Muzhi told him these were minor issues that could be handled and asked Yun Hongshen to take a rest while he managed them himself. He hoped that the guests arriving tonight would have an unforgettable evening. Yun Hongshen agreed and hung up the phone. Wen Yeming received a call asking her to play the piano at a cocktail party that evening, but the pianist originally scheduled couldn’t make it.
The caller asked Wen Yeming if she could play the piano, and she agreed. The caller informed her that a car would pick her up shortly, with the license plate number 0502. Wen Yeming understood the caller’s intent; she knew her target was car 502. Yun Muzhi told Yang Ziming that after this event, he wanted to recruit Yun Hongshen to work for them. Yang Ziming questioned whether Yun Muzhi didn’t always think Yun Hongshen was reckless. Yun Muzhi replied that he needed to train him to handle important responsibilities. He explained that Yun Hongshen intended to capture Qu Wenzhi to use him as leverage, and Yang Ziming was relieved because Yun Hongshen had admired Yun Muzhi since childhood; otherwise, he might have impulsively committed patricide.

The cocktail party soon began, and Yun Hongshen greeted the guests at the entrance. He noticed a familiar face—Wen Yeming had arrived. The party officially started, and Wen Yeming played the piano on stage. Xu Meijia invited Yun Hongshen to dance with her. Although they were dancing on stage, Yun Hongshen kept an eye on Yun Muzhi’s presence. They noticed someone bringing cyanide into the venue, and those individuals targeted Yun Muzhi. The Viscount offered Yun Muzhi a cigar, claiming it was a special one he had procured. Yun Muzhi declined, saying he wasn’t feeling well and didn’t want to smoke.
However, the Viscount had more sinister intentions. He handed Yun Muzhi a glass of red wine. After drinking, Yun Muzhi showed no signs of distress, but his frustration grew as he stared at the remaining wine, unable to drink any more. After the Viscount left, Cheng Huize asked Yun Muzhi what was wrong. Yun Muzhi replied that it was an old heart condition. Cheng Huize handed him a glass of water, urging him to take his medicine. After taking the medicine, Yun Muzhi painfully collapsed onto the sofa—it turned out Xu Meijia had already smeared cyanide on the rim of his glass. Meanwhile, Yun Hongshen was also drugged with M-drops arranged by Xu Meijia. The Viscount and Xu Meijia believed their plan had succeeded.

However, the Viscount felt something was off. As they were discussing, someone knocked on the door. Xu Meijia opened the door to find Yun Hongshen pointing a gun at her. The Viscount said he knew Yun Muzhi couldn’t die so easily. Yun Hongshen responded that his father had anticipated the Viscount’s actions, so they had set a trap. As Xu Meijia tried to resist, Yun Hongshen shot her, and the Viscount was also affected by the pre-administered M-drops. Yun Hongshen ordered his two subordinates to take the Viscount away, only to discover that he was already dead. Yun Hongshen speculated that the Viscount might have prepared for his own death when they entered the room.
Upon returning home, Yun Hongshen was informed by the butler that Yun Muzhi had died. However, Yun Hongshen went to his and his father’s secret base. Indeed, Yun Muzhi was there, seated calmly. He told Yun Hongshen that he had decided to fake his death and planned to return to his hometown in a few days, cutting all ties with the British banks. Yun Muzhi had received some information about Kunwu and believed that Qu Wenzhi’s death was only the beginning. He informed Yun Hongshen that Qu Wenzhi possessed important intelligence regarding Changsha, and they had also heard news about Changsha on the television station. The Japanese believed Changsha would soon fall under their control, which made Yun Hongshen extremely anxious. Yun Muzhi advised him not to worry and to first visit the television station. Once the current plan succeeded, he would reveal everything to Yun Hongshen, who might then become his partner in their fight.
