Episode 20 recap: Chen Mo Bai scored points.
Chen Mo Bai approached Shen Xi to talk to her. He mentioned the famous paradox of the crocodile and explained that it took him a long time to understand it. Shen Xi said it was unsolvable, but Chen Mo Bai stated that he wouldn't be like the mother in the paradox; he would scare away the crocodile and rescue his child.
Chen Mo Bai hoped Shen Xi would follow her heart once again, but Shen Xi remained silent. Soon, it was time for the assessment. Lin Shao Qian instructed everyone to choose a car and drive to the finish line. Lu Yun Hao and the others were surprised by how simple it seemed.
Shen Xi mentioned there was a repair station along the way with basic tools they could use. Mitsui Takumi proposed an alliance with Chen Mo Bai, believing that together they would be the strongest. However, Chen Mo Bai declined, stating that racing was an individual sport and alliances would be cheating.
After selecting their cars, various issues arose with the vehicles. Lu Yun Hao, who had just mocked Chen Mo Bai's steering wheel falling off, encountered a problem with his own car. When they reached the repair station, they discovered that only basic repair tools were available, and it was within the rules.
Mitsui Takumi's tire went flat, and he asked Lu Yun Hao to help him first, promising to assist him later. However, Mitsui Takumi had no intention of helping Lu Yun Hao and argued that they had agreed upon this arrangement from the beginning, expecting Lu Yun Hao to cooperate. Angry, Lu Yun Hao refused to serve him any longer.
Mitsui Takumi threatened to report to the company president, but Lu Yun Hao declared he didn't care. Chen Mo Bai recalled a childhood memory when his car broke down, and he cried in frustration. Shen Chuan approached him and handed him a tool, stating that sometimes things could be resolved using the simplest methods.
Chen Mo Bai grabbed a wrench as a replacement for the steering wheel and drove all the way. Along the road, Chen Mo Bai encountered Lu Yun Hao, whose tire was smoking due to a malfunction. Chen Mo Bai offered to help, but Lu Yun Hao declined, urging Chen Mo Bai to hurry to the finish line. Otherwise, Mitsui Takumi would win, and at least one of them had to win.
Upon reaching the finish line, Shen Xi announced that based on their performance over the past few days, Chen Mo Bai ranked second, just one point behind the first place. Then came the bonus points. Chen Mo Bai received an additional five points, making him the first-place winner. Mitsui Takumi was not satisfied, but Shen Xi acknowledged Chen Mo Bai's creativity during the challenge and noted that Chen Mo Bai's muscles were actually injured but still performed well. This indicated Chen Mo Bai's significant potential.
Mitsui Takumi believed that injuries were not an excuse, but Lin Shao Qian stated that their racing was about challenging the impossible and turning failures into victories, which Chen Mo Bai could achieve. Lu Yun Hao and the others agreed with adding points to Chen Mo Bai. In the end, Chen Mo Bai and Mitsui Takumi, as the top two, advanced to the next round, and one winner would be selected from them.
During the competition, Lin Shao Qian mentioned that rain was coming soon and asked Chen Mo Bai if he wanted to participate or postpone. Chen Mo Bai said that since Mitsui Takumi was participating, he would also participate. Lin Shao Qian pointed out that Chen Mo Bai had performed poorly in rainy conditions before, but Chen Mo Bai insisted that it was in the past.
Lin Shao Qian shared his and Shen Chuan's past performances, stating that they were both waiting for someone to surpass them. Chen Mo Fei and Assistant Jiang discussed Chen Mo Bai's competition, and Assistant Jiang asked if Chen Mo Fei didn't plan to tell Chen Mo Bai the truth. Chen Mo Fei expressed his reluctance for Chen Mo Bai to know.
As it turned out, years ago, Chen Mo Bai was practicing driving in rainy weather when the road conditions were extremely poor. The traffic light didn't turn red, and a large truck came from the opposite direction. Chen Mo Fei attempted to grab the steering wheel, but Chen Mo Bai misunderstood, thinking that Chen Mo Fei caused the accident while driving.
