The Ingenious One Episode 17

Tang's cruelty is on full display

This episode is spiced with several horrific examples of just how depraved and cruel Tang Xiao is. His penchant for preying on, abusing and controlling women is shown in several key scenes, including and perhaps most heartbreaking in a scene he isn't even in, when Ke Meng Lan confronts Tian Hu. Both are under his control in different, cruel ways at that point the feeling of helplessness - indeed, hopelessness - must be overwhelming. It also is implied that at least one of Tang's two bodyguards - notably the female, Mei Zhu - is probably being controlled in a similar way and she clearly feels sorry for Tian Hu. Unfortunately, Tang quickly becomes aware of her sympathy. As a viewer, one can only hope that the writers will deliver suitable karmic justice upon Tang.
