Episode 22 recap: Captain Ma rectified the handling of Luo Xiang Qian and Zhang Biao and Wang Lan Zhi reconciled their differences.
The investigation team intended to take Luo Xiang Qian away, but they were stopped by the colleagues from the First Brigade who resolutely refused to let Luo Xiang Qian be taken away. Sha Menghai addressed everyone and said that it was Luo Xiang Qian's dereliction of duty and Chen Daman's lax management that led to the accident. Therefore, they wanted to transfer him to the Southwest Military and Political Committee.
Everyone was dissatisfied with the investigation conducted by the investigation team. They believed that it was too hasty to assign blame to Luo Xiang Qian before Chen Daman had even been located. Chen Daman woke up and insisted on intercepting the car. After meeting with Sha Menghai, Chen Daman revealed the truth, but Sha Menghai still insisted on taking Chen Daman away for investigation.
Ye Lan stepped forward to stop him and requested the investigation team to conduct a reexamination before reaching a conclusion. While everyone was arguing, Captain Ma arrived on horseback. It turned out that Dr. Yu insisted on meeting Captain Ma to explain the truth. Captain Ma presented the decision made by the Party Committee of the Bureau and instructed Sha Menghai to release Luo Xiang Qian.
Finally, everyone relaxed, and Chen Daman tearfully knelt down to admit his mistakes, acknowledging that it was his rush to meet the deadline that caused harm to everyone. Captain Ma organized a meeting to determine the nature of this accident. Due to the complex geological conditions in this area, the accident was classified as an unforeseen natural disaster. However, Luo Xiang Qian, as the head of the First Brigade, had to bear leadership responsibility, and Chen Daman, in his eagerness to meet the deadline and secure the top position, subjectively had good intentions but neglected safety responsibilities objectively.
The organization decided to issue a warning and disciplinary action against Luo Xiang Qian, and Chen Daman was dismissed from his public position and placed on a three-month probation period. Luo Xiang Qian made a serious statement, admitting his shortcomings in safety management, which led to the loss of his colleagues' lives. He vowed to keep this bloody lesson in mind and prioritize safety in future work, ensuring that production would not proceed under unsafe conditions and that such incidents would never be allowed to happen again.
In the evening, Chen Daman sat on the construction site feeling dejected, and Luo Xiang Qian came over to comfort him, encouraging him to pick himself up. After all, the organization had given Chen Daman a three-month probationary period to reform himself. Luo Xiang Qian believed that Chen Daman would work harder. Ye Lan proposed further surveys to expand the roadbed to accommodate large locomotives, but Sha Kai objected, saying that it was already difficult enough to accommodate small locomotives under the current conditions. Moreover, large locomotives could only be imported from abroad. Ye Lan believed that Sha Kai's perspective was too narrow and expressed confidence that our country would be able to produce large locomotives in the future.
Everyone agreed to Ye Lan's proposal, and eventually even Sha Kai had to agree. Sha Kai saw going on the survey with Ye Lan as an opportunity to make achievements, so he found Ye Lan and offered to accompany her. Ye Lan didn't want to take him along, but Luo Xiang Qian believed it was a sign of Sha Kai's progress.
For the sake of safety, Luo Xiang Qian assigned Chen Daman and Wu Zhi to go on the survey together. Luo Xiang Qian and Zhang Biao saw them off, and Sha Kai volunteered to take care of Ye Lan. Zhang Biao looked at them and shook his head disapprovingly. Luo Xiang Qian hoped that Sha Kai would mature a bit under Ye Lan's influence, but Zhang Biao didn't have much confidence in him.
The group overcame various difficulties as they climbed mountains and crossed ridges during the survey. Ye Lan accidentally sprained her foot, and without hesitation, Sha Kai carried her on his back. Ye Lan repeatedly told him to put her down, but he refused. Zhang Biao brought preserved fruits for Yao Wa and bought a red scarf for Wang Lan Zhi. Wang Lan Zhi was deeply moved, and as they walked and talked, Zhang Biao mentioned how Captain Ma had been persuading him these past few days. He believed that their reunion was fate and asked to be together again.
Wang Lan Zhi worried that Zhang Biao couldn't accept Yao Wa, but Zhang Biao assured her that Yao Wa was like his own flesh and blood, and he would treat him as his own son in the future. Wang Lan Zhi was deeply touched and promised that she would never separate from him. Zhang Biao came back happily to see Luo Xiang Qian and excitedly told him that Wang Lan Zhi had accepted him and looked good wearing the red scarf.
Zhang Biao thanked Luo Xiang Qian and expressed his concern for him. He also mentioned that he would introduce Zheng Yanyan to him. This made Luo Xiang Qian so angry that he got up and chased after Zhang Biao to hit him. Ye Lan thanked Sha Kai for taking care of her, but Sha Kai said he was taking care of his fiancée. Ye Lan corrected him, saying that they should let go of the past, and Sha Kai expressed his willingness to pursue Ye Lan again.
Sha Kai went on the survey alone and ended up getting bitten by a snake. Ye Lan rushed over and, disregarding everything, used her mouth to suck out the venom. Chen Daman found some herbs and applied them to Sha Kai's wound, then hurriedly brought him back to the team headquarters for treatment.
