Episode 17 recap: We have to go against the traffic.
Jiang Ge talked to Lin Qi about his frustrations and then brought up Lin Qi's music. He felt that Lin Qi's compositions gave him a scratching and itching feeling in his heart. Lin Qi didn't expect that Jiang Ge would appreciate his music, and he never thought that Jiang Ge would advise him to terminate his contract with Ma Zong.
Jiang Ge wanted to collaborate with Lin Qi, although he hadn't figured out what they could collaborate on yet. But he believed that Lin Qi should leave Ma Zong, who didn't appreciate his talent. Cai A Yi provided the firefighters with an extra meal of chicken legs, which made all the firefighters excited and happy. However, Shao Yi Jiu and Qin Shi Quan didn't understand the significance of the chicken legs and couldn't taste anything special about them while eating.
Yang Zhen Gang told Shao Yi Jiu and the others a story about chicken legs, which was also the favorite food of the martyr Li Wei Tong. One time, Cai A Yi went all the way to the fire station to bring an extra meal for her son, Li Wei Tong. When Li Wei Tong saw her, the first thing he asked was about the chicken legs. Unfortunately, Cai A Yi didn't bring any chicken legs that time.
Cai A Yi promised to bring chicken legs for Li Wei Tong next time. However, before they could finish that meal, a major fire broke out in Beihun City. Li Wei Tong sacrificed his life in that fire. As a result, Cai A Yi treated all the firefighters as her own sons, cooking delicious meals for them every day to ensure they wouldn't go hungry.
Cai A Yi's story left everyone feeling a bit down. At that moment, Nan Chu called Lin Lu Xiao to let her know she was safe, but suddenly they heard a loud noise. Lin Lu Xiao told Nan Chu to go home early, and they all rushed outside to see what was happening. They realized the sound came from Nanwan Port.
The fact that the sound traveled so far made Lin Lu Xiao and the others conclude that a major incident had occurred. At that moment, the alarm bell rang, notifying them of an explosion at Nanwan Port. They quickly went to retrieve their equipment and prepare to respond. Although Lin Lu Xiao was suspended from duty, he felt he couldn't stay idle, so he immediately joined everyone in the mission.
Beihun City attached great importance to the explosion at Nanwan Port and mobilized the entire city's firefighting support. Meng Guo Hong personally commanded the battle. While informing everyone to respond, Meng Guo Hong also reminded them to prioritize safety, which made the rookies Shao Yi Jiu and Qin Shi Quan nervous, fearing the severity of the incident.
On their way to the scene, all the firefighters messaged their families to let them know they were safe. They were afraid that this might be a one-way mission, so they wanted to express their thoughts to their loved ones in advance. Before entering the fire scene, Liu Ru Yi handed a farewell letter to Yu Qi Lei. Yu Qi Lei didn't have much to say but accepted the letter, urging Liu Ru Yi to return safely.
Lin Lu Xiao wanted to send a message to Nan Chu, but he was afraid that she would worry, so he ultimately chose not to send anything. Meanwhile, Nan Chu went to the Special Operations Station to wait for Lin Lu Xiao to return. Cai A Yi, knowing that Nan Chu was waiting for Lin Lu Xiao, brought her inside to have a meal. After finishing her meal, Nan Chu heard the explosion sound and couldn't sit still anymore. She ran to the rooftop to see what was happening at Nanwan Port.
The explosion at Nanwan Port was extremely intense, and fire trucks and firefighters continued to arrive at the scene for rescue operations. However, the fire was difficult to control, and the explosions kept happening, preventing the firefighters from entering the core area. The rescue operation at Nanwan Port had been ongoing for two days, and the number of casualties was still increasing, keeping everyone on edge, waiting for the outcome.
Shen Guang Zong was worried that Nan Chu, Lin Lu Xiao's girlfriend, wouldn't be able to hold on. He wanted the director Han to give Nan Chu a break, but Han believed that Nan Chu should keep herself occupied during this time, as it would help her persist. Lin Qi and Lin Lu Xiao's father were also concerned about Lin Lu Xiao's situation. Lin Qi wanted his father to inquire about Lin Lu Xiao's condition, but his father insisted on following their firefighting tradition and not seeking information, hoping that Lin Lu Xiao would come back safely.
Meng Guo Hong assigned a task to Lin Lu Xiao and Yang Zhen Gang, instructing them to hand over the largest fire point to the Heping Road Special Operations Station for resolution. Without a second thought, they began arranging their work after receiving the task, encouraging each other before preparing to enter the fire scene. Yang Zhen Gang led the team to the location of the fire point and realized that the fire was too intense to be extinguished by ground-level water alone. They had to find someone to climb the tanks and put out the fire.
The firefighters from the Heping Road Special Operations Station were all eager to climb the tanks and extinguish the fire. However, sparks suddenly sprayed from the top of the tank, making the situation particularly dangerous. Yang Zhen Gang prohibited anyone from going up and decided to lead the way himself. The others stayed below to extinguish the fire and provide cover for Yang Zhen Gang's ascent. However, during the process of climbing the tank, several explosions occurred on the tank top, causing Yang Zhen Gang to be thrown off.
Nan Chu had been waiting anxiously inside the station. Finally, when she saw the fire truck returning to the station, she rushed over to find someone, but she didn't see any familiar faces. Nan Chu searched for a long time until she finally found Shao Yi Jiu. It was then that she learned that Lin Lu Xiao was in the hospital. Without hesitation, she hurried to the hospital to see him.
When Nan Chu saw Lin Lu Xiao, she called out his name softly, and in her excitement, she ran over and hugged him. As Nan Chu wiped the dirt off Lin Lu Xiao's face, he told her that due to his suspension, Yang Zhen Gang took the lead in climbing the tank and was seriously injured.
Dad actually loves his son very, very much. It's just that he has also experienced these things, and he doesn't want Lin Lu Xiao to worry about the family and have no worries. He's a great father. Huang Jing Yu's acting is truly remarkable.
He embodies the character perfectly. It's not just acting; at this moment, he is that person. Watching him, I feel so inspired and filled with passion. I wish all firefighters a safe return.
In the repeated confrontations with blazing flames, it radiates a dazzling brilliance of life; in the struggles against perilous situations, it depicts scenes that stir the soul. The pledge of loyalty to the people echoes incessantly, and the romance of holding hands is immersed in time.
It is Lin Lu Xiao, the rebel, the most adorable person.
