Now with Qi Manlin, a bureau chief, here, hoping for a lucky break in breaking the law is impossible. The choice is entirely up to him. If he doesn't agree to Lin Mu's terms, then his life is over; he'll go back with Qi Manlin and rot in prison! From now on, he won't have another chance to rise again.
Of course, he could accept Lin Mu's terms. With Lin Mu's close relationship with Qi Manlin, Qi Manlin may act as if nothing ever happened. So, inside, Li Faji is very conflicted. On one side is a prison disaster; on the other side, betrayal of Han Si Hai. He doesn't want to choose either; whichever he chooses would be like a death sentence for him!
