Naoki teams with another company owner called Itabashi, who went bankrupt because of Higashida, the steel company president. Naoki finds out that Higashida bought a property abroad and it’s valued to be 50 million yen. Naoki then stole the account balance papers before the taxation bureau got their hands on it. Naoki then tries to quickly find the location of the property so the bank can seize it before the bureau. However, Itabashi is actually working with Higashida and tells him that Naoki found out about the property Higashida bought. Itabashi asks Naoki to get him all documents related to Higashida, but then plays a trick and steals it. Nevertheless, Naoki actually knew about this and confronts Itabashi and threatens that he will expose him to his workers and family. Itabashi gives Naoki the property address and Higashide current whereabouts. The bank manages to seize the property but the bureau manages to take it by blackmailing. Naoki goes to find Higashida but turns out he ran away. (Source: MyDramaList)

Now it gets interesting!

I really enjoyed this episode. It had me on the edge of my seat for the entire episode. Also, I feel like Hanzawa is making too many enemies. He needs to pick off a few before they start overwhelming him.

If you screw me, I screw you back. Double payback!

Naoki is a male lead that you would fall in love with everytime you see his intellengence and way of thinking. Strong male leads make dramas very enjoyable for me and Naoki is one of those.

It's a shame that he lost the Haiwai house to Kurosagi; he's a messed up but adds a taste to the drama. And the taxation bureau become soldiers when they come to the bank LOL

And that Higashida just keeps running away; just catch the guy already!
