Contenders Episode 19

Liu Zhen Dong and Cheng Nan Ping survive an ambush where Liu Zhen Dong is shot but ultimately saved by Cheng Nan Ping, who kills the attacker. The assassins are traced back to Da Peng. This incident deepens the rift between Cheng Nan Ping and her father, Cheng Hui, as she, influenced by Zheng Qiu, believes the Shanhai Gang (and by extension, Liu Zhen Dong) was behind Steven's death and wants to disown her father for his continued involvement. Meanwhile, Liu Zhen Dong's mother, Hong Yan, urges him to leave Shicheng for his safety, but he refuses, steadfast in his convictions. Hong Yan also notices the growing bond between her son and Cheng Nan Ping. Within the Shanhai Gang, praise for Liu Zhen Dong's heroism grows, with some suggesting he should lead Fengyun Tang, a notion Cheng Hui tries to suppress to maintain peace between Liu Zhen Dong and Huang Zhong Xin.
