[Fireworks of My Heart]

[Adapted from the novel "A City, Waiting for You" by Jiuyuexi]

[Episode 35]

Someone tried to bribe you?

When did it happen?

Just now.

This person.

- Have you met them before? - No.

You're not involved in the investigation.

This has to be a deliberate set up

to implicate you.

What a cheap trick.

I'm not that dumb.

It's not that simple.

This afternoon, the investigation team went to the site.

They said the sealed insulation materials

were all B1 grade.

They are completely standards compliant.

Impossible.

First, they swapped the goods,

diverted attention,

and then sent you this money.

Next...

They'd be making something out of nothing.

You should first pass the money to the authorities.

Li Da Long of Bed 15. Is his CT scan result out?

The family did not want to do it, stating they did one before.

They couldn't be persuaded.

The hospital wants us to pay again.

The compensation money is almost finished.

But you're still not anywhere well.

If you boss hadn't cut corners

to save that bit of money,

you wouldn't have gotten burned so bad.

Stop grumbling.

We got the money.

We stamped the papers.

No use talking about it now.

Doctor.

Why didn't you do the CT scan?

We're not doing it.

We're going to get discharged and recuperate at home.

Get discharged?

No, he can't get discharged yet.

I detected rales in his lungs.

I think it could be post burn complications,

pulmonary edema or even sepsis.

If it doesn't get timely treatment, it can be life-threatening.

Doctor.

Don't try and scare us with those words just because we look uneducated.

It's the truth.

To do the scan or not

is up to you.

I already made myself clear.

Have a good think.

How are you feeling?

[Loyalty to the party, disciplined and impartial]

[Braving water and fire]

The management has decided to put him on temporary suspension.

You'll be taking over the station for now.

Is there no room for discussion?

This is the best solution after much consideration.

The best? You must be kidding me.

That clip was clearly tampered with.

It's obviously a set up.

Because of that he's suspended?

- Then I quit! - We are quitting too.

Mr. Jiang, why was he suspended?

It's the detachment's order. We can only wait for updates.

What updates? We'll just throw in the towel.

- Who cares about updates? - Quiet down!

Just do what you're supposed to do.

Don't worry about me.

Get going.

Go on. Get to work.

Yes, sir. Get to work.

You got suspended?

Lower your voice.

You want the whole world to know?

Just tell them I'm on leave.

What happened?

I saw the news.

"Zhan Da Peng sacrificed."

"Cause of fire still under investigation."

It's complicated.

So why did they suspend you?

It's totally indiscriminate.

I think you should just change jobs.

Save us from all the worry.

Even if I get fired,

I will still get to the bottom of this.

Say,

could this be the Mengs' plot?

Nonsense.

Why is it nonsense?

Did you forget what happened before?

I won't talk about the physical exam.

When you were a soldier, you won yourself the outstanding cadet title and a spot in the military academy.

But during the interview,

something happened.

History just repeated itself.

You're in similar trouble again.

Don't you think it's oddly similar?

Zhai Miao.

Don't talk about that again.

I wish I didn't have to.

But is the Meng family ever going to spare you?

All those things that happened before,

are you really over them?

I said,

don't bring what happened before

again.

This incident is related to Guo Kun.

But it has no direct relation with the Mengs.

There's no reason for them to target me.

Zhai Miao.

The past is in the past.

As for now,

the matter is still under investigation.

Why make up all these assumptions

and complicate matters for yourself?

Sooner or later,

the truth will come to light.

I believe that.

[Zhai Residence]

What are you doing here?

Wufang Street is being relocated.

I want to remember this scene.

You can't hide it from me.

I thought you're not allowed to drink normally.

What's the matter?

I've been

temporarily suspended.

Suspended?

Wait, why?

Is it because of Jun Guang?

You didn't do anything wrong.

First, someone sent me 200,000.

Then, the detachment received a tip.

It said I took a bribe.

I claimed the insulation materials from Jun Guang Plaza were problematic.

[Braving The Fire and The Danger, Always Ready to Fight and Win]

Pi Pi.

How many sticks have you had?

- Yi. - Isn't it cold?

Yi.

Every time we finish putting out a fire,

Captain would buy me an ice cream.

Without him, the fire in my heart is raging out of control.

When do you think Captain can return to work?

We don't know.

Yi.

I kept dreaming of Da Peng these days.

Da Peng was telling me something.

But I can't seem to remember it.

That's enough.

All of us miss Da Peng.

Pack up.

Get yourself clean. Have a good rest.

Look at your little face.

Don't think too much.

Chi.

I remember now.

Da Peng said, 17.48 seconds.

17.48 seconds?

What does that mean?

He said he beat Captain in the 100m hurdles.

He ran faster than the Captain.

So why didn't he outrun the fire?

Have you considered changing careers?

Honestly,

I did think about it in the beginning.

But later...

In the beginning, I didn't think too much of it.

I treated it like any other job.

Training every day was hard.

When there was a fire,

I did my best to put it out.

I think such a life

is pretty straightforward.

Not much to worry about.

But gradually,

being a firefighter is no longer just a job for me.

It's half of my life.

The fireman suit

has become a part of me too.

I can no longer leave it.

Hopefully the investigation concludes soon

and you'll be cleared of any accusation.

As well as an explanation to Da Peng.

I also hope

you'll get a job at the detachment.

So next time,

it will be nine to five,

safe and sound.

There's inadequate funds.

How much is left?

About 20,000.

Short of 20,000?

You can come back when you have all the money.

There's a line behind you.

Sorry about that.

I'll come back next time.

Next, please.

Mom, it's not that we don't want to treat it.

We're out of options.

Why is Li Da Long so unlucky?

We've already used up all the compensation.

What little I've saved is also gone.

I tried to pay just now.

The doctor said I was short of 20,000.

Where am I supposed to get that money?

We should've never signed the agreement

and took the hush money.

Now he's still undergoing treatment,

but those people have washed their hands clean.

I don't know what else to do, Mom.

What can I do?

- Mom. - Mommy.

What are you doing, Mom?

Why are you packing the things?

We're out of money.

We're taking your dad home.

The nurse said the fees have been paid in full.

We can proceed with the treatment.

Look.

Who paid it?

Dr. Xu did.

There's hope for the family.

Your dad will be okay now.

We're okay now.

Your dad will be okay.

Li Da Long's family.

We're here.

The surgery went well. Don't worry.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Where is Dr. Xu?

Dr. Xu?

She's left.

Thank you.

Da Long.

Dr. Xu.

How is he feeling today?

Not too bad.

He woke up from the pain last night.

Nothing to worry about.

Post surgery pain is a common short-term effect.

Feng Bei.

If he is in too much pain, give him a painkiller injection.

Thank you, Dr. Xu.

Don't mention it.

You should thank the firefighters instead.

They're the ones who saved him.

Oh, Dr. Xu.

How is the young man who saved Da Long?

Is he doing okay?

He lost his life.

He died?

He was only a young man.

Get well soon.

Call the nurse if anything.

Let's go.

Dr. Xu.

You go ahead.

Dr. Xu.

I heard you know people from the fire station.

There's something...

I wish to tell you.

Open up.

Open it.

Be quick. Get these out of here.

Move it.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

It's the police.

Police!

Get down.

Stand up straight.

The cause of the fire in Jun Guang Plaza has been preliminary identified.

Project manager, Zhao, had set off fireworks illegally.

The sparks ignited the insulation materials stored on the 12th floor

and subsequently caused a massive fire.

Guo Kun Group's board of director's Secretary Wang, colluded with Zhao

and profited from using inferior insulation materials as shoddy.

He also used illegal means to evade fire safety inspection.

The two have been detained by the authorities.

The case is under further investigation.

Please stay tuned to our channel for the latest updates.

Your report

is highly recognized by the investigation team.

It's clear that Jun Guang Plaza

falsified a lot of data regarding their fire safety.

On our end, we have to strengthen

our fire supervision and inspection.

As for the bribery claim,

you were framed.

It's been verified.

In this fire,

you did a deed of merit,

and was unfairly punished.

Speak up if you have any thoughts.

I only have one request.

I hope the detachment

can look after Zhan Da Peng's parents.

He was their only son.

Rest assured.

Don't worry.

Regarding this matter,

the department will do the best for them.

Thanks, Dr. Li.

Why aren't you guys getting treatment on time?

It's not that. We've been really busy lately. You know that.

Besides, we thought we were done with the treatment.

Yes, those who weren't badly injured are done with treatment.

We already said those who have serious injuries need more follow-ups.

Is it so hard to understand?

Okay, I was wrong. I'll be here on time next time.

- I was wrong. - Forget it. Stop talking.

Are you inhaling?

Are you getting the oxygen?

Say something.

Yes. You told me to stop talking.

Don't be angry. I'll look for you after I'm done.

Dr. Li.

Thank you.

Mom.

Dad.

Your son won't be an embarrassment this time.

That Pan Pan sticker is pretty cute.

Does it feel any different?

They're about the same. They're both serving the people.

You look thinner. Are you not getting enough rest?

Are you worried about me?

I just don't want you to create more trouble for me.

Thanks, Miss Nan.

- Take care. - I will.

I'll do the examination.

I'll be waiting for your good news.

I will be victorious.

The rest of you,

stand by for orders.

If the comrades who went ahead failed,

those at the back will swiftly take their places.

Yes, sir!

See the mission to the end.

Thanks.

Mr. Meng. Welcome home.

Is Qin Qin not back?

Yeah, she's on night shift in the ER.

Hospital work is so hectic.

We treat her

like the apple of our eye.

But she?

This matter has gotten out of hand.

Surely it's because that Song Yan stirred up trouble.

Mom.

Regarding that,

I agree with Qin Qin.

That's his duty.

From this incident, we can clearly see

that that person has no sentiments for our family.

If Qin Qin insists on being with him,

does that mean she's giving up on this family?

Don't say that.

She'll never do that.

This recent incident,

the whole debacle happened because Gu's subordinates

failed to do their jobs.

Be it guilt or responsibility,

we have to accept it.

We have already been penalized.

Thankfully,

the company did not suffer irrevocable damage.

After creating this mess,

does that mean Gu no longer has any say in the company?

He failed to keep his subordinates in check.

That's on him.

Yan Chen.

When are you going take over your dad's position?

Look at the complicated state of affairs right now.

Your dad's health is on the decline.

His authority is waning too.

You and that little company of yours.

How much longer are you going to wrestle with it?

And then there's Qin Qin.

It's time you keep her in check.

I mean it.

These two kids are not giving me any peace of mind.

We're leaving, Dr. Xu.

[Contacts. Dad]

Hello?

Hey, Dad.

Qin Qin? Are you...

done with work?

Have you eaten?

Yes. I've finished work.

I just thought I'd call you.

How have you been lately?

Pretty okay.

What about you?

Are you feeling well?

Do you have anti hypertensive medication with you at all times?

I hope you don't worry too much

about company matters.

Yes, I know.

Don't worry.

I...

Dad is fine.

What happened at the company this time didn't affect you too much, I hope.

How do I say it?

There's no direct impact.

Don't worry.

Just focus on your work.

Take care of yourself.

Come home more often.

Okay.

I'll talk to you again, Dad.

Regarding your next assignment,

the party committee had discussed about it.

We'd still like to hear from you personally.

There are two options.

First one, you'll be transferred to the detachment.

The second...

Take a look yourself.

No need to make the decision now.

Think about it first.

Take your time.

In view of Yanbei Firefighting Detachment,

Shili Tai Fire and Rescue Station's

exemplary role in carrying out advanced rescue operations,

their dedication to protecting the lives

and properties of the people of Yancheng,

and their commitment to to their pledge and duty,

they have successfully curbed major fire incidents.

They have made outstanding contributions

to safeguarding the city's economic development

and the safety of people's lives and property.

The detachment has researched and decided

to apply for the accreditation

of Shili Tai Fire and Rescue Special Service Brigade.

Awaiting instructions.

Commissar, Chief Gao.

I've decided.

I will stay at Shili Tai and accept this challenge.

I told you.

[Shili Tai Fire and Rescue Station 30th Anniversary]

Today is the 30th anniversary

of Shili Tai Fire and Rescue Station.

I wish to thank the leaders for joining us in celebration.

I'd like to invite

Commissar Lian Jie to give her speech.

Today,

we are celebrating Shili Tai Fire and Rescue Station's 30th anniversary.

The past 30 years

have been filled with growth and glory at Shili Tai Station.

In those 30 years,

Shili Tai has carried out emergency operations

more than 35,000 times,

helped and rescued more than 170,000 disaster victims.

You have protected the people's assets worth over one billion yuan.

The members of Shili Tai Station

have not forgotten the original intention,

nor cower from adversity.

You have lived up to

the firefighting emblem you wear on your cap

and the people's trust.

Salute.

Please welcome

a member of the Municipal Party Committee.

Dear comrades.

Members of Shili Tai Fire and Rescue Station,

with their capable bodies

and indomitable spirit,

have protected this city.

They are truly guardians of the city.

To pass on and promote Shili Tai Station's

unchanging spirit and devotion in rescue works

over the past 30 years,

as well as to express our gratitude

to each and every firefighter here who has quietly

carried out their duties,

the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have decided

to present Shili Tai Fire and Rescue Station

with the "Guard of Yancheng" title.

Comrades.

It's a new chapter.

A new era.

We will be facing

new missions and challenges.

Under the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee,

Municipal Government and the Fire Department,

we will continue to improve

our firefighting squads.

Let us strive to turn Shili Tai Fire and Rescue Station

into a Special Service Brigade.

Following

the standards of building a national level

emergency response unit,

we shall become the sharpest of swords within the force.

[Forever a loyal guard to the party and people]

Does everyone have the confidence?

Yes!

Good.

- Song Yan. - Here!

- Come on stage. - Yes, sir.

Song Yan.

This is a military medal,

[Guard of Yancheng]

as well as a military order.

You will be accepting the responsibility

and adhering to it.

Yes, sir.

Please.

Thank you.

Loyalty to the party.

Loyalty to the party.

Disciplined and impartial.

Braving fire and water.

Serving the people.

Loyalty to the party.

Disciplined and impartial.

Braving fire and water.

Serving the people.

Loyalty to the party.

Disciplined and impartial.

Braving fire and water.

Serving the people.

You're back.

I thought you're on night shift.

I changed shifts.

Perfect timing.

You want to eat fish with fermented veges, right?

I'll cook it right away.

When are you going to start your job at the detachment?

The reassignment notice has been sent, right?

Yes, I got it.

So are you taking it or not?

I've decided

to stay in Shili Tai.

At first,

I had wanted to go to the detachment.

But Shili Tai has just been upgraded.

Our equipment and personnel are more advanced.

In the future,

things will surely become better.

I was really conflicted.

I thought about it long and hard

before I made the decision.

Conflicted about what?

About me?

Were you afraid I'd be a burden?

- No. - You made such an important decision.

Why didn't you discuss it with me?

I...

I didn't want to pressure you.

More than that, I worried you'd choose to support me if you knew.

Then you'd get the short end of the stick.

So every time, you chose not to tell me.

I'm sorry.

I was inconsiderate.

I'm saying this,

not to make excuses for myself.

But,

I don't know what it is.

When I'm faced with a stressful situation,

I always try to resolve it myself.

I don't want it to affect you.

Yes.

When you're stressed,

your first choice is never to share it with me,

but to keep it from me.

You assume that's doing me a favor.

Saving me the worry.

That's how you've been acting.

You didn't tell me about the suspension.

You didn't tell me about not taking the job at the detachment.

What do you take me for?

I didn't purposely keep it from you.

There's nothing to hide anyway.

Then what's up with the gunshot wound? Tell me.

What about your failed grade retention?

Why did you become a soldier?

And why did you become a firefighter after?

Why does Zhai Miao know,

Mr. and Mrs. Zhai know, but I can't know.

I just want to know the truth.

Or give me an explanation.

Oftentimes, there is no truth.

And no way to explain things.

Is that how you're going to be?

I...

Xu Qin.

I swear

I did not lie to you.

Trust me.

I will never hurt you. You have to believe me.

You've already hurt me.

We shouldn't keep secrets from each other.

Right now, I feel like...

you're keeping me at arm's length in a lot of matters.

As if I'm not your family.

Of course you're my family.

You're the most important person in my life.

- Don't you know it? - Then tell me.

What exactly is going on?

Okay.

Even if you won't tell me now,

at least give me a reason why you can't.

I don't know how to say it.
