Scent of Time (2023) Episode 17

Oct 26, 2023

When Jin Lin learned that he was going to Huangcheng, he was extremely happy. But Supervisor Qi told him that he went there this time to completely stop Ruxin's thoughts. No matter how reluctant Jin Lin is, he has to plan for his family after all. Seeing Qi Ruxin's desperate look, Jin Lin was in great pain, but he only dared to quietly shed tears as she walked away, and then carefully picked up the sachet.

Taking advantage of the banquet, Hua Qian asked his father what his plans were as the one-month deadline had expired. Sure enough, Hua Wenang still couldn't let go of his wealth. Although he had expected this result, Hua Qian still felt a dull pain in his heart. Her hand holding the cup kept shaking, but she could only force herself to calm down, and then drank the tea in one gulp, as if to say goodbye.

Hua Qian felt bored, so she got up and left. Seeing this, Zhong Xiwu also hurriedly caught up with her and said frankly that he could allow her to reconcile. After Hua Qian thanked him, he turned around and left without mercy. Zhong Xiwu subconsciously reached out to pull, but was blocked by Hua Rongzhou. An inexplicable emotion filled Zhong Xiwu's heart, and he hurriedly ordered people to investigate Hua Rongzhou. Hua Qian noticed Zhong Xiwu's anger and hurriedly spoke up to explain to Hua Rongzhou. Afterwards, Hua Qian couldn't help but remind Hua Rongzhou that she thanked him for thinking about her and standing in front of her in everything, but he was the head of the family after all and couldn't stand up at will.

Zhong Xiwu returned to the hall, but was almost stabbed by a dancer. Before anyone could react, a group of masked men in black broke in from outside. There was a moment of chaos, and Zhong Xiwu wanted to step forward to protect Hua Qian, but he was surrounded by guards and couldn't move away at all. Hua Wenang pulled Hua Qian over, and the family hurriedly escaped. But the scene was so chaotic that Hua Qian didn't know when he got separated, and in an instant he became a thorn in the side of the masked man. Fortunately, Hua Rongzhou arrived in time and Hua Qian was not in danger. Hua Qian saw that the Cuizhu on the side was in danger and quickly asked Hua Rongzhou to go to the rescue. But she later realized that the target of these masked men was herself.

A sharp sword came straight towards Hua Qian, but the cold light finally fell on Hua Shen who swooped in just in time. Hua Qian hurriedly stepped forward to check, but Hua Shen actually smiled and told her not to worry. Immediately, two masked men knocked Hua Qian unconscious and took her away from Hua Shen. When Hua Qian woke up, he found that he was hanging on the cliff with Mu Yao tied next to him.

Zhong Yelan received the superstition and rushed to the cliff in time. The two masked men asked him to make a choice, whether to save Hua Qian's life or Mu Yao's life. Zhong Yelan hesitated and took his foot back several times. Hua Qian looked at Mu Yao's reaction and seemed to understand something. She couldn't help laughing, then took out the bracelet Hua Rongzhou gave her, cut the rope and fell off the cliff. Fortunately, there is a lake under the cliff, and Hua Qian is not in danger. After climbing to the shore, she suddenly felt lucky that she had learned to swim during her year in exile. While it was still dark, Hua Qian hurriedly got up and headed upstream, trying to find a place to take shelter. But it rained heavily and she was injured again. As night fell, she didn't encounter any people. Fortunately, Hua Rongzhou arrived in time and gave her hope.

When Hua Qian woke up again, she was already in Washington. Before she could even rejoice that she survived, she heard the bad news about her brother. She stumbled to get up, but she only saw a cold corpse. There was no longer the noisy brother who called her sister every day and got into trouble.
