Episode 9 recap: The driving skills are poor and the difficulties are numerous.
Lin Zhendong watched the live broadcast and ultimately gave up on going abroad. He then gathered Zhang Wei, Ji Xing, and Sun Yuqiang to attend the press conference together. He stated that the Feichi Racing Team had not disbanded and that he himself was the new member of the team, Lin Zhendong.
Zhang Chi also watched the live broadcast and expressed great joy. Lin Zhendong also made harsh remarks about Wei Qianli, which surprised everyone. Wei Qianli never expected that Lin Zhendong would become a racer. No one expected that Lin Zhendong would give up going abroad. Lin Zhendong said he wanted to stay and fight alongside everyone. Li Xiahe once said that Lin Zhendong was a talented player.
In 2027, Zhang Chi temporarily escaped the life-threatening danger, but the doctors informed that he needed to continue to be observed for a period of time. Li Xiahe saw the news and hurried back to see Zhang Chi. At that time, he was lying in a hospital bed, and tears kept flowing from Li Xiahe's eyes. Li Xiahe mentioned how she waited for him at the airport for a long time and missed four flights just to wait for Zhang Chi. Sometimes she wondered if everything would be different if Zhang Chi had come to find her.
Suddenly, Zhang Chi's heart rate accelerated, and Sun Yuqiang asked Li Xiahe to speak more to Zhang Chi. On the other hand, Lin Zhendong's heart rate also suddenly accelerated, and he remembered what Li Xiahe had said. Zhang Chi's soul returned to Lin Zhendong's body, and upon learning that Li Xiahe was preparing to leave the airport today, he put everything down and hurried to the airport to try to keep Li Xiahe.
When Li Xiahe was about to leave, Lin Zhendong arrived in time and begged her not to leave. He told her that he was the new member of the Feichi Racing Team and hoped that Li Xiahe would be his manager. However, Li Xiahe felt that it was unrealistic for Lin Zhendong to become a champion, but she couldn't resist Lin Zhendong's strong persuasion. Originally, she wanted to stay because of Zhang Chi, so she made an excuse and agreed.
Lin Zhendong was still surprised by recent events, but he understood that the future was unchangeable. He had to become a top-level racer and his goal was on track. So his next goal was to become a top-level racer. Everyone was surprised by Lin Zhendong's secret plans, and they didn't expect him to say that his navigator was Hong Kuo.
No one expected that, after all, Hong Kuo showed no surprise. Lin Zhendong also said that they must obtain a ticket to the Dakar this year, which made everyone think he was being unrealistic. Ye Ke called Lin Zhendong aside. They didn't have any prize money now, and a series of work would start soon. Without hesitation, Lin Zhendong handed his bank card to Ye Ke from his bag. But he realized that if his mother found out, he would definitely be taken back, so he decided against it. However, he still encouraged Ye Ke not to give up and to fully train Lin Zhendong.
Now Lin Zhendong believes that as long as the real Lin Zhendong becomes a racer, everything will be on the right track. Everyone is still discussing the glasses-wearing Lin Zhendong, who is really out of money now. Lin Zhendong's uncle saw Lin Zhendong's video and was very worried. If his sister knew about it, it would definitely be another storm.
Lin Zhendong lay on the bed, preparing to message Zhang Chi and tell him that he had messed up the timeline. However, he suddenly saw a message informing him that Lin Zhendong was going to London today. The reason for this change of plans was a phone call he received earlier, but when he called back, there was no response.
Then, his mother called via video chat, and Lin Zhendong hastily answered the call, almost getting caught by his mother, who realized he wasn't in the UK. Lin Zhendong quickly hung up the call. In 2027, by Zhang Chi's hospital bed, Wei Qianli learned about his accident and called to inquire. He also told Zhang Chi that he had won the championship in a race.
Suddenly, Zhang Chi's heart rate accelerated, and in a split second, Zhang Chi's soul left Lin Zhendong's body. At that moment in 2022, Lin Zhendong was on the phone with Hong Kuo. Hong Kuo purposely spoke in English to test if it was the real Lin Zhendong, but to their surprise, Lin Zhendong's soul had returned.
Lin Zhendong's uncle asked him to send a photo, so Lin Zhendong randomly found one online, but his uncle saw through it. Since his uncle knew the truth, Lin Zhendong relied on him to keep it from his mother. The next morning, Lin Zhendong got up early, dressed in a suit, and cleaned up the entire team.
When everyone arrived, they noticed how clean everything was and could tell that Lin Zhendong, wearing glasses, was serious. Li Xiahe and Ye Ke also told him about the difficulties of the Dakar Rally, and given his current skill level, it seemed almost impossible for Lin Zhendong to participate.
In the past, only Wei Qianli and Yu Taiang had gone, but now Yu Taiang's whereabouts were unknown. The Wild Buffalo Team still registered Yu Taiang's name every year for the race, more as a hopeful gesture. Yu Taiang used to be an idol in everyone's hearts, having entered the World Invitation Race on his own more than a decade ago.
They didn't know that Yu Taiang's son was Lin Zhendong. After hearing Ye Ke's words, Lin Zhendong became even more determined that he must conquer the Dakar Rally. In fact, at the airport, Lin Zhendong received a call from his father, Yu Taiang, who hoped he would participate in the Dakar Invitation Race this year. That's why Lin Zhendong chose to stay.
