Episode 28 recap: Yang Yunsheng Desperately Pleads with Dai Chongguang to Save His Son
In a desperate act, Cao Biao barricaded the mine entrance with a pile of grass and set it on fire, trying to smoke out the trapped workers deep inside. His expression was frantic, as if he had completely lost his mind. Meanwhile, Lin Hailan was unable to reach Luo Yuan and Geng Nian, and fearing the worst due to Cao Biao's mental instability, she immediately notified Xia Weidong to rush to the mine. Fortunately, they arrived in time and were able to rescue the trapped workers.
On the other side, Xu Fei waited in the restaurant for Geng Nian, but he never showed up. Disappointed, she returned home. Geng Nian had lied to her, claiming he was working late, in order to avoid worrying her. Lin Hailan found this unacceptable, believing that spouses should have the right to know the truth.
Luo Yuan returned home with Xia Weidong, still shaken by the harrowing experience and afraid of losing her. While Xia Weidong was touched by Luo Yuan's concern, she was still conflicted, recalling the words of Su Zhuo.
When Geng Nian arrived home, Xu Fei had lost her patience to talk to him, feeling disappointed and dejected. Lin Hailan scolded Geng Nian for his insensitivity, telling him that Xu Fei is a gentle yet steadfast woman, and if he continues to disregard her feelings, it would not be surprising if she were to leave him.
Early the next morning, while passing through Rongshui Village, Dai Chongguang noticed a group of people illegally gathered at a small dock. The ringleader was Leiliang's cousin, Leixiang, who confronted Dai Chongguang in a threatening manner and demanded his phone. In a moment of panic, the driver, Xiao Tian, revealed Dai Chongguang's identity as the mayor.
