The ongoing costume C-drama The Double, starring Wu Jinyan and Wang Xingyue in the lead roles, released episode 16 on June 9, 2024. As seen in the trailer, the drama focuses on Fang Fei’s (Wu Jinyan) search for justice after her husband attempts to murder her. Episode 16 focuses on Fang Fei visiting the underground market in disguise.
The episode also shows Li Jin and Xiao Heng watching from afar as Fang Fei stands up for the Ye family. Li Lin finds this quite strange, as this can lead to her being punished for covering up for a crime. On the other hand, Xiao Heng has faith in Fang Fei’s decision. As people continue questioning Fang Fei and her statements’ authenticity, she assures the gatherers.
She tells them that as the daughter of the secretariat director, she knows that impersonating relatives of an official is a crime. She defends her father’s honesty by saying that he abandoned his own daughter for several years after she committed a minor mistake. Furthermore, Fang Fei criticizes the governor for barging inside the residence and making an arrest without conducting any proper investigation.
According to her, if the Ye family’s Soochow brocade caused any deaths, the authorities should send the bodies for autopsy first. They should also look for similar occurrences in other regions as well. Finally, they should contact the department of weaving and dyeing. She adds that if the governor insists on arresting them, he will face consequences, as her father won’t sit still. She also promises to compensate the protestors and return their money.
Xiao Heng is impressed by Fang Fei’s proficiency and ability to turn the table. He is well aware that she is trying to worsen the dispute between the Jiang and Li families. He decides to greet Fang Fei and discuss tactics.
The Double episode 16: Wang Xingyue comes to Wu Jinyan’s rescue
Xiao Heng advises Fang Fei that she should always conduct investigations from an elevated space. Meanwhile, Fang Fei wittily criticizes him for frequenting the brothel. Xiao Heng fails to make her understand that Wu Lan, the prostitute, is an acquaintance of Taohong.
In the latest episode of The Double, Fang Fei visits Ye Mingyu’s escort agency to ask for his help. Although he refuses at first, he quickly comes on board after Fang Fei promises to invest money in his business. With his help, Fang Fei takes on the disguise of a wealthy man and visits the Longxing Pawnshop.
There, the duo searches for Lai Biao, the head of the Luyang Ghost Market. He is an influential man who was previously in the army. Mingyu poses as Fang Fei’s servant and asks for Tuoluo flower from Xiyu. Lai Biao answers that the last batch has already been sold but refuses to reveal the whereabouts of the buyer.
As Fang Fei keeps insisting, he challenges her to take the golden water formation challenge. In this game of dice, the one with the highest number wins, and the loser has to drink.
As soon as Xiao Heng hears about Fang Fei’s visit to the market, he rushes to save her. He reaches the market, finds her barely conscious, and decides to play on her behalf. He recognizes Lai Biao as his late father’s nemesis.
Fang Fei and Xiao Heng work together to outsmart Lai Biao and win the match. Xiao Heng explains to him the purpose of their visit. A long time ago, Lai Biao was falsely accused by Li Zhongnan. But Xiao Heng’s father, General Xiao Ming Han, saw through Li’s ill intent and let Lai Biao go. Xiao Heng asks for his help to go against Li Zhongnan’s party one more time.
