Explanation

Chapter 1

Yu Congyi remained silent after witnessing Jiang Jiejie's murder because he himself had come with malicious intent—to kill—and didn't want to be the first to do so and expose himself. This reveals his ruthlessness.

Chapter 1

Lu Jin reported to others that Jiang Jiejie was dead, referring to her as "Madam," because it was actually Merrick who ordered Lu Jin to kill her.

What did Dr. Xu seem to have foreseen in Chapter Eight?

Dr. Xu realized that the reason the daughter of a high-ranking military officer in Beiping wanted to elope was because of Tang Zefei's poor health. Even the reason why Mr. Tang adopted a son was because he feared that Tang Zefei might suddenly pass away one day.

What is the meaning of the ending of Chapter Twelve?

Yu Congyi resented himself for acting too rashly today.

What does Lu Jin mean by "How should I answer Young Master Tang?" in Chapter Thirteen?

Lu Jin, perhaps out of laziness or fear, didn't go to the military police headquarters to arrest the person himself. Instead, he paid the guards to do it. Coincidentally, the guards arrested the wrong person, and Yu arrived and killed them all. Lu Jin could conveniently take the blame for the guards' actions, using it to tell Young Master Tang that he had arrested the wrong person, leading to the person receiving reinforcements and killing Old Master Tang. He could then shift all the blame onto himself, clearing himself of suspicion. Since the guards were all dead, no one would accuse Lu Jin of being lazy and neglecting his duty.

Chapter Eighteen

The current information gap is one (regarding the murderer of Jiang Jiejie).

The real culprit: Lu Jin committed the murder, Yang Xiang instigated it, and Merrick instigated it.

Jiang Jiejie: ​​In reality, she was shot and killed by the assassin Lu Jin, who was sent by Yang Xiang, who harbored resentment and took advantage of Merrick's jealousy of her husband.

Yang Xiang: The murderer, unaware of Lu Jin's involvement.

Yang Ruinian: Not fully aware. He was unaware of Merrick and his father Yang Xiang's involvement. After investigation, he believed the real culprits were Lu Jin and Tang Zefei.

Jiang Fengming: Not fully aware of the situation. After hearing the informant from the Yang family maid, he believed that Yang Xiang was the real culprit. Lu Jin and Tang Zefei

Yu Congyi: I don't know the full story. Because I witnessed Lu Jin committing murder at the Lin Mansion, I thought the real culprits were Lu Jin and Tang Zefei. Later, after hearing Jiang Fengming's words, I believed that the real culprits were Yang Xiang, Lu Jin, and Tang Zefei.

Merrick: The murderer, unaware of Yang Xiang's involvement.

Tang Zefei: I don't know anything about it yet. And Yang Ruinian, Jiang Fengming, and Yu Congyi all believe I'm one of the murderers.

Lu Jin: The murderer, unaware of Yang Xiang's involvement.

The maid who informed on the Yang family: Not fully aware, unaware of Lu Jin's involvement, and Merrick's participation.

(Timeline before Chapter 18)

The second information gap is that Jiang Jiejie is actually Yang Ruinian's wife in the end.

Yang Xiang: Informed

Yang Ruinian: In the know

Jiang Fengming: From Unaware to Informed

Yu Congyi: From Unaware to Acquainted

Merrick: Unaware of the situation, he believed Jiang Jiejie was Yang Xiang's wife and had seduced his husband.

Tang Zefei: I was unaware of the situation.

(Timeline before Chapter 18)

Yu Congyi found it strange because Tang Zefei knew absolutely nothing about any of this related to Jiang Jiejie's murder; he hadn't participated at all, and at this point in the timeline, he didn't even know Jiang Jiejie.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The one who should be settling scores isn't him. This means that the one who should be settling scores with him isn't Zhan Yuewei, but Yu Congyi. Because if Yu Congyi's murder of Zhan Chu is exposed, Zhan Yuewei will definitely cause trouble for Yu Congyi. He used someone else to do the dirty work, and if Yu Congyi gets into trouble, he will definitely hold a grudge against him. Therefore, it should be Yu Congyi who comes after Tang Zefei, not Zhan Yuewei.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: What are the two arguing about?

Yu Congyi actually wanted to tell Jiang Fengming that there was no need to worry about any of this, but Jiang Fengming was particularly insecure, so he would break down and become furious whenever such a thing happened and would not believe his older brother. Yu Congyi felt that he couldn't reason with him, and since Jiang Fengming didn't believe him, he felt heartbroken and helpless.

Chapter Thirty: Why did Tang Zefei lie to Yu Congyi that he didn't know about Jiang Jiejie's death?

Because he wanted to protect his mother, he had to conceal the fact that his mother had participated in and instructed the killing of Jiang Jiejie.

What is the truth behind the last sentence of Chapter 42?

Yu Congyi now desperately wants to know if the truth is that Jiang Jiejie's death is indeed related to Tang Zefei, because if it were, he would inevitably have to kill her.
