Episode 28 recap: Twist into one rope.

After returning home, Nan Chu insisted that Lin Lu Xiao rest at home and not go to work. She was even more upset that Lin Lu Xiao didn't take good care of himself, which made her worry. Nan Chu informed Lin Lu Xiao about her upcoming filming project and expressed her concern that not being able to see each other during this time might affect their relationship, leading to an argument with Lin Lu Xiao.

Liu Ru Yi and the others couldn't sleep all night because of the tense atmosphere at the station. Lou Ming Ye also reflected seriously on his own actions to see if his handling of the situation was truly inappropriate. The next day, Lin Lu Xiao woke up early to prepare breakfast and went to the station to resolve the issues. He wanted to talk to Shao Yi Jiu and Qin Shi Quan.

Lin Lu Xiao gave Qin Shi Quan and Shao Yi Jiu a stern lecture, emphasizing the importance of unity. When they realized their mistakes, he made them hold hands until the evening as a form of punishment. Lin Lu Xiao resolved the issues with Qin Shi Quan and Shao Yi Jiu, and the others at the station were satisfied with his approach, which made Lou Ming Ye question his own handling of the situation even more.

Meng Guo Hong called Lou Ming Ye to ask about the situation at the station and urged him to resolve the issues. He didn't want the station to lose its qualification for the big competition. He also asked Lou Ming Ye and Lin Lu Xiao to go together to see the fire exhibition.

After a day of holding hands, Shao Yi Jiu and Qin Shi Quan both realized their mistakes. Qin Shi Quan took out a token of their friendship and together they reflected on their actions during this period. Shao Yi Jiu mentioned their initial intention to join the fire brigade, and Qin Shi Quan realized that they had both deviated from their original purpose. They promised to never forget their initial intention and joined forces again.

While attending the fire exhibition, Lin Lu Xiao remained silent, which led Lou Ming Ye to question if Lin Lu Xiao had any grievances against him. During a conversation about forest firefighting in a promotional video, Lin Lu Xiao talked a lot with Lou Ming Ye. He explained that although Lou Ming Ye brought new equipment and technologies to the station, firefighting and rescue operations couldn't rely solely on technology and equipment. They relied on team spirit and the life-and-death bond forged by the brothers, which was the core of their team.

Squad Leader Fang hurriedly went to find Lin Lu Xiao to ask for leave to go home. Coincidentally, Lei Da Gang saw him leaving and stopped him to have a chat and inquire about the situation. Squad Leader Fang explained that he needed more time to pay back his debt and hurriedly left before Lei Da Gang could ask about the money. At that moment, he received another phone call urging him to pay the debt.

Lei Da Gang didn't fully understand the situation and thought that Lei Da Gang owed a lot of debts. He went to find Yu Qi Lei and Liu Ru Yi to explain the situation.

Lei Da Gang was very worried that Squad Leader Fang had been deceived and wouldn't be able to get his money back, which would make it difficult for him to explain to his wife. So he went to find Lin Lu Xiao to inquire about the situation.

Lin Lu Xiao didn't know the reason behind Squad Leader Fang's leave, but when he learned that Squad Leader Fang had borrowed money from everyone, he started to worry about his situation. Squad Leader Fang went to the hospital with his wife to accompany his mother for a check-up. He used all his money and borrowed money to pay for the medical expenses, but he was still struggling.

Squad Leader Fang wanted his mother to have the surgery as soon as possible, but he didn't expect the surgical fees to be so high, it was like a bottomless pit, and he couldn't afford it at all. In order to save money, Squad Leader Fang even hesitated to eat meals. He bought a box of lunch for his wife and mother to share. Meanwhile, the credit card company called to urge him to make payments, which made him feel overwhelmed.

Feeling distressed, Squad Leader Fang hid in the stairwell and cried. Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, his colleagues from the station had all gathered around him. Lin Lu Xiao and the others divided the tasks, with some collecting money, some helping to tidy up, and others buying medicine and supplies. They arranged everything properly for Squad Leader Fang's mother's hospitalization. After everything was settled, Lin Lu Xiao finally had the opportunity to joke around and scold Squad Leader Fang, blaming him for not saying anything and making himself look like he was trying to run away.

Lou Ming Ye felt even more uncomfortable seeing how harmonious Lin Lu Xiao and the others were. He truly realized his own shortcomings and took the initiative to find Meng Guo Hong. Afterwards, Lin Lu Xiao held a meeting and criticized Squad Leader Fang for not informing everyone about his mother's illness. Then, one by one, the others criticized Squad Leader Fang, encouraging him to take care of his mother with peace of mind.

After the criticism, Lin Lu Xiao organized a donation fund and allowed the brothers at the station to voluntarily help Squad Leader Fang. Everyone generously offered their assistance, which moved Squad Leader Fang to tears, leaving him speechless. Lou Ming Ye reported Squad Leader Fang's situation to Meng Guo Hong and used his connections within the firefighting system to resolve the issue of Squad Leader Fang's mother's surgery. However, he felt too embarrassed to tell Squad Leader Fang directly, so he asked Lin Lu Xiao to convey the message.

Knowing that Lou Ming Ye was someone who was reluctant to express himself, Lin Lu Xiao reminded him that what he had done should be made known to the team members. However, Lou Ming Ye still didn't want to talk about it.
