[Episode 9]

[INTENSIVE CARE ROOM]

He's out of danger for now

but needs to be hospitalized for three days.

Thank you, doctor.

Wei Qianli doesn't deserve his position.

The death of Yu Tai'ang 17 years ago

certainly has something to do with him.

Karma should have gotten him long ago.

Well said!

Mr. Lin,

I thought you were going abroad.

No,

I'm staying

to do the Rookie Race of CCRC.

I'm fine with you being a driver,

but what you just said to Wei Qianli was too arrogant.

Zhang Chi has said

that I'm talented with potential.

The Master Racing Team is a strong opponent.

Li Xiaohe also said that

if I train hard enough,

I will have a chance to defeat Wei Qianli.

You should trust me.

Where is Li Xiaohe?

I don't know.

She didn't answer my call either.

You're finally here.

I saw the news

and flew here as soon as possible.

How is he?

He just underwent three hours of rescue.

The doctor said

that he was temporarily out of life-threatening danger

but still in a coma.

It's uncertain

when he will regain consciousness.

Zhang Chi,

it's been five years since we last met.

I flew thousands of miles to see you.

Open your eyes and look at me, please.

Let me confess to you secretly.

That day when I left,

I waited a long time for you

at the airport.

I missed four flights.

I thought

you would come to see me

and say a lot from your heart.

During these five years,

I often wondered

If time went back five years,

would things turn out differently?

I'm Xiaohe!

What's the matter?

I'm fine.

Are you OK?

Xiaohe...

He moved!

Say a few more words to him!

I'll go to get the doctor!

At the airport,

I waited for you for so long.

If time went back five years,

would things turn out differently?

Li Xiaohe, why didn't you say that earlier?

Don't hurt yourself to make me relent.

Fine, I allow you to be a new racer of the Speeding Racing Team.

Is that okay now?

Speeding Racing Team? What do you mean?

Did Lin Zhendong make it into the Speeding Racing Team?

No, it doesn't matter.

Where is Li Xiaohe?

I need to talk to her about something very important!

Where is she?

This is the Lin Zhendong without glasses.

Answer me, Ye!

Where is Li Xiaohe?

That's right.

Mr. Lin who doesn't wear glasses.

The Speeding Racing Team was disbanded today,

but then it regrouped under your effort.

Today?

Yeah.

Today is the day!

She went to the airport, right?

I have to go. Find her!

I, I will talk to you later!

When you chased me away,

you said a lot of cruel things.

Did you regret it a lot?

Shan!

Shan!

Shan!

Stop!

What...

What did you just call me?

Sh... Thank you for not leaving.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to see you.

Ye asked me to bring you back.

Let's go.

I'm not going back.

I'm begging you.

Don't go.

The team is disbanded.

I've broken up with Zhang Chi as well.

There's no reason for me to stay now.

Zhang Chi didn't mean it.

Don't take it to heart.

He regrets it so much.

He's mad at himself.

He...

He doesn't want to get the team in trouble

or even harm you.

But we can't watch him going down like this.

He needs to participate in

the CCRC next year.

He needs to go to Dakar!

You probably don't know yet.

The doctor said

that from now on, Zhang Chi

won't be able to race cars anymore.

He won't?

Is it that serious?

I remember he...

Are you sure?

This isn't good.

If fate allows,

we'll meet again.

See you.

Don't go!

I can give you a reason to stay!

I...

Fine, I allow you to be a new racer of the Speeding Racing Team.

Is that okay now?

Did Lin Zhendong make it into the Speeding Racing Team?

I'm a new racer on the Speeding Racing Team now.

I need you to be my manager.

You're mature, calm, and experienced.

Even if you need one,

it doesn't have to be me.

It must be you,

Xiaohe.

I'm the only racer on the team.

Don't you want to witness our team

rallying

and reclaiming the lost championship?

Even if you start practicing racing now,

winning the championship

is not very realistic.

As long as you're here,

anything is realistic.

I'm confident enough.

Also, Ji Xing and Weiyi are back now.

You can't give the Speeding Racing Team up!

I taught myself to be a manager.

Don't put your expectations too high.

I happen to need a self-taught one.

Only by self-taught can one become talented.

Let me tell you beforehand:

I'm not coming back for Zhang Chi.

Plus,

I'm responsible for you only.

Sounds good.

[Speeding Racing Team]

I was terrified!

I thought I wouldn't be able to come back!

Oh, my precious!

I thought I would never see you guys again!

That's enough, you two.

Sun Yuqiang,

don't be a crazy person.

Why did you go upstairs to carry the sign

in the middle of dinner?

Move it back later.

Xiaohe, you want to have some meat?

Don't get so close to me.

Stop that.

I'm going to fall off if you get any closer.

While we are here in high spirits,

let me re-summarize it again.

Let me re-summarize it again.

After Zhang Chi and I

won the championship,

Zhang Chi broke his leg by riding a motorcycle.

Our team disbanded after that.

And then,

I, Lin Zhendong, came back on my own.

Even without you knowing,

I suddenly rushed back

and regrouped the team.

This is the eighth time now.

It's all correct.

You don't need to go over it again.

What are you talking about? We are all screwed if I did that!

What are you doing?

Don't mess with the drinks.

They fell over.

What's wrong?

I got it.

What did you get?

I understand everything now.

Here,

let me get everything straight.

In the game

of CCRC Ningzhou circuit,

we won the championship, right?

That was the first step.

Wei couldn't accept the result

and held this Master Racing Rally Invitational.

And then we won again.

But his leg still broke.

If I set things straight

from this step,

that way,

this piece won't fall.

Understand?

Here,

let's drink.

Don't mind him.

You understand me?

What is he talking about?

Drink. Don't mind him.

Why can't I understand?

He's talking about the domino effect,

being all jumpy as a cat.

I've been trying to change my destiny

and everyone else's too.

But I was wrong.

The future cannot be changed.

The butterfly effects that would ensue

are beyond what I can bear

and beyond what I can foresee.

Now, I must try my best

to get things back on track again.

We are on the right track now!

The team is back together!

It's great!

Yeah!

Lin Zhendong has to be a top driver.

I have to become a top driver.

Alright.

You can be a driver.

You can do whatever you want.

But let's agree that

I won't be your co-driver.

I can be your co-driver!

You wish!

You're overthinking, Yuqiang.

My co-driver should be

Hong Kuo.

Xiaohe, is he out of his mind?

He's so overbearing as a rookie!

Wait, Lin Zhendong.

You are a rookie in the first place,

if you want Hong Kuo as your co-driver,

he has to learn everything from the beginning.

You should

just train hard according to the training plan

that Ye and I made for you.

If you do well,

you might be able

to get into CCRC.

Just get into CCRC?

I have to dominate

every CCRC.

Anything less than first place is not an option.

Sweetie, just trust me.

What are you doing?

Watch your hand!

Don't overreact.

Zhendong.

I'm his supervisor.

Xiaohe is right.

You're just a rookie. Be patient.

You can compete next year even if you don't make it this season.

That's right.

Ye!

How can you have such an attitude?

Did you forget that you are the team manager?

This year.

I must get a good result this year.

If we don't make good achievements,

how can we go to Dakar?

Who?

Do you want to go to Dakar?

My chopsticks even fell out of my hand!

- Your shocking ambition... - No...

This is also Zhang Chi's goal, right?

The Speeding Racing Team,

we, must go to Dakar.

OK, Lin.

No matter what,

I like your spirit.

As long as you want to race

and Zhang Chi is able to drive,

I support you two!

Come with me.

This is...

Zhang...

Feels awesome!

Sit down.

Ye, take a seat, please.

Zhang Chi is discharged from the hospital.

He won't be back temporarily, so you can live here.

Here.

Not here.

There's a spring poking out here.

Sit here.

Hold the pillow.

What do you want to drink?

You...

are,

you are young.

Let me get you a bottle of water.

So, Mr. Lin,

I should tell you something.

Go ahead.

Listen...

Stop calling me Mr. Lin.

We are closer than that.

Zhendong is fine.

OK, Mr. Lin.

Oh, no,

Zhendong,

actually, you also know

that the team is not making money.

Also,

we're not getting the Master Racing Rally Invitational prize.

We still have to prepare for the coming

Rookie Race of CCRC.

They are all related to you.

I see.

You need money from me, right?

I got your back.

This is a piece of cake.

Here.

Use this card.

Didn't you run away from home?

Can you use this card?

Oh yeah. You're the smarter one.

Give it back to me.

I don't want to be captured.

Lin Zhendong's mom

is a she-wolf!

Let me check for other cards.

I don't have money in my digital wallet either.

But don't give up, Ye.

You must train Lin Zhendong well.

As long as he becomes a racer,

everything will be back on track.

You've said that already.

Do you want our Speeding Racing Team to go to Dakar?

Of course, I do!

That's the spirit.

You must do your best to train him!

Do this

for Zhang Chi to make a good comeback

and for our Speeding Racing Team to go to Dakar.

Give it our all

within the limits of our current funding.

OK.

Keep the fund thing in mind, OK?

I will.

Are you really out of money, Zhendong?

Yes, Ye.

I've got nothing.

Ye.

Alright.

Good night, then.

Ye,

thank you for your hard work.

I know we are not doing well financially.

I will try to figure it out.

I'm back!

As long as Lin Zhendong becomes a racer,

everything will be back on track.

I'm a bit confused.

Help me make it clear.

The one who sent the message

to gather us back

was with glasses

or without glasses?

With glasses.

Then,

at that time, Chi's co-driver was...

The one without glasses.

So, does it mean

the business genius

who doesn't know how to drive wants to try racing?

Yep.

This is ridiculous.

Yeah!

In my opinion,

Mr. Lin's return this time

is serious.

Did you know

that when he asked me

to come back at the airport,

his attitude

was very sincere?

I could feel that he cared a lot

about our Speeding Racing Team.

Xiaohe,

his sincere and serious attitude

has nothing to do with racing.

Do you guys think

that Lin Zhendong without glasses

is a bit similar to Chi?

So carefree and flippant.

If so, I still like the one with glasses,

more organized and trustworthy.

No, Xiaohe.

We are talking about racing here,

so the one without glasses

is more likable.

Guys,

it's so late!

Aren't you sleepy at all?

Go back and go to bed.

I have to go home and report to my mom.

Bye, Xiaohe.

Bye.

Bye!

- See you. - Bye!

- Be safe. - Bye!

Bye, Ye.

Bye.

Ye,

how is the fund thing going?

No money.

We are going back to being poor again.

Go home first.

Xiaohe,

for real,

I'm so happy that you are back.

Don't assume things.

I'm back

purely for Lin Zhendong's sake.

That's why I'm happy.

You're finally being yourself

instead of associated with Zhang Chi.

There's one thing

that Zhang Chi said

was right.

Prior to this,

I never had control over my own life,

but Lin Zhendong's

trust and affirmation in me

made me realize one thing

that I am valuable, too.

So now,

I just want to be

an excellent manager to a driver.

That's brilliant.

Xiaohe,

drive slowly home.

Be safe.

What...

Don't ask me.

I don't know what's gotten into him either.

See you tomorrow.

Uncle!

Bad news.

What's wrong? So jumpy.

Watch this!

I'm Lin Zhendong, a new racer on the Speeding Racing Team.

I hope everyone will support me in the future.

Isn't, isn't this Lin Zhendong?

Didn't he go to the UK?

I checked with the airlines.

He didn't board the plane.

What is he trying to do?

Does my sister know?

The chairman rarely pays attention to car racing.

I think she doesn't know.

OK,

as long as she doesn't.

You have to keep this from her.

If she finds out about this,

he's doomed.

Right,

didn't she say that

she wanted to video him tonight?

I guess.

Oh, my little bed.

So cozy!

Yeah.

[Speeding Racing Team, Zhang Chi]

[Sorry. I messed up the timeline. But...]

Sorry.

I messed up the timeline.

But don't worry!

I'm trying my best to set things right.

Your injury will definitely heal.

By next March, you will...

[You received a new message.]

Charles asked me to tell you

that something came up, and he won't be able to pick you up.

After the plane lands, take the subway

directly to his place and wait for him downstairs.

Plane?

What plane?

[Ningzhou to London]

Was Lin Zhendong going to London?

I didn't stop him from that!

Why did you stay then,

Mr. Lin?

He passed through security at 13:03,

and Hong Kuo wished him smooth sailing.

[13:15 shopped at the duty-free store] What is Hong Kuo saying?

When flying, who wishes others smooth sailing?

Shouldn't he say smooth flight?

At 13:15, he bought something at the duty-free shop,

and at 13:17, he answered a call from Ye.

Ye just told me it was a casual farewell.

At 13:19,

he answered a call from an unknown number,

and then

[Taxi] at 13:22,

he used his phone to order a taxi

and left the airport.

It seems the issue

lies with that call from the unknown number.

I'm so curious.

[Calls]

Hello?

Hello,

I'm Zhang...

I'm Lin Zhendong.

Who...

Who are you?

Hello?

Hello?

What's going on?

Lin...

Why did you decide to come back and race cars?

Doesn't matter.

I wanted you to do so anyway.

Then, let's seek common ground while reserving differences.

I miss...

Homeland. Your name is...

Oh, come on!

[Mom]

Hello?

Zhendong,

you landed, right?

Yes.

Where are you now?

Didn't your classmate pick you up?

My classmate...

I got lost.

So I...

The pillow you are leaning on,

why are there Chinese characters on it?

"Wealth", this one.

- Foreigners are learning Chinese... - Lin,

I forgot to mention that...

Um...

Who was that?

Why was he speaking Chinese?

Who was that?

Um, I'm staying in

Chinatown.

I'm in Chinatown,

at a Chinese hotel.

Um...

I have a headache.

I'm hanging up.

[Hung up. Call ended.]

Ye!

I'm supposed to be in London!

London, England!

Pay attention to what you're saying!

Mr. Lin,

tomorrow eight o'clock.

Class begins.

Speak Chinese.

Mr. Lin,

our class officially begins

at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow.

I got it.

So silly.

More calls?

Mr. Lin,

are you in the UK?

The UK?

Yes, I went.

Of course.

So, then...

Did Charles pick you up?

What?

What charges?

I mean...

didn't you ask Charles to pick you up?

Charles?

Well...

Um...

So,

my...

my flight was really long,

and I forgot about him.

I...

OK.

Tell him to go home. It's so late at night now.

Don't...

Don't wait for me.

I have settled myself in.

You mean late at night?

What time is it over there?

What time over there?

What time is it...

Why would you ask such a dumb question?

How can you not know the time?

I'm in London, right?

What time is it in London?

It's 4:00 p.m. here.

Why would you ask me such a question? To test me?

Which personality are you?

Which personality are you?

Are you Lin Zhendong?

Speaking English to me again?

Oh, come on!

Wei!

Xiaohe, Yuqiang.

You both are there.

Wei,

long time no see.

Why is your hair gray now?

I can only say that

without Zhang Chi in the racing circle,

it's not as leisurely as I imagined.

The competition is intense.

By the way,

how is Zhang Chi?

Let me see him.

He's out of danger

but still unconscious.

You probably have never seen

Zhang Chi so calm before, have you?

Let me get closer to him

and say a few words.

Zhang Chi!

Zhang Chi,

you got the first place in Bayanbulak.

You were right.

You still got it.

I'm so jealous.

Wake up now and show off to me.

Wei is so annoying.

But it's so exciting

that I got the first place.

His heart rate increased.

[Heart Rate 100]

[Heart Rate 120]

So you don't speak English now.

When and how

did it change?

No.

Just too noisy here.

What else do you wanna know?

Alright,

I have to hang up, Wei.

I'll talk to you later.

Zhang Chi.

Xiaohe, I'll go to get the doctor.

Go to get him.

Zhang Chi!

Why doesn't Zhang Chi like me at all?

Mach.

Shu!

Yes, Mr. Wei?

You know what I'm used to.

Why are you driving so fast?

Drive more steadily.

Slow down.

Zhendong,

I'm your uncle.

Uncle.

So,

I was,

I wasn't around.

I didn't hear what time it was over there.

It's 4:00 p.m. here.

Why?

How's the weather? Cold?

It rained a little bit yesterday.

Well,

take a picture for me.

It's been a while since I last went to London.

I already forgot what it looks like.

As it always has been.

You've been here before.

Do it now.

OK.

Great, Lin Zhendong.

Nicely done, Lin Zhendong.

Your lies are so thorough.

I've seen your press conference already.

Yet you're still,

still lying to me here.

Stop pretending.

Let me tell you.

I won't hide it for you this time.

Your mom will teach you a good lesson!

I will let your mom deal with you, for real!

Uncle,

you must keep it from my mom.

She won't look into any news about racing.

Please.

Why do you do that to me?

What do we do now?

I don't know!

The mother and son...

These two.

They are making things so difficult for me.

The floor is so clean today.

The table is clean too. Look!

He's wearing glasses today.

Then yesterday he was...

You did a great job cleaning.

Ye, you go ahead.

OK.

Zhendong,

do you know

the barrel theory?

The amount of water a barrel can hold

depends on the length

of its shortest stave.

Correct,

so considering your current personal situation

and your other personality,

it's

a bit troublesome.

I understand what you mean.

My other personality

is unstable,

with strong disruptive tendencies.

It is indeed my weakness.

In the future, I will try my best to restrain its manifestation.

You...

you are the shortest stave.

Zhendong,

here is the thing.

Your driving skills

are much inferior

compared to the other side of you.

I can train.

Listen,

no matter how hard you train,

in the first year, it's not possible for you

to participate in CCRC.

I have to go to Dakar.

Zhendong,

I can understand your feelings.

That day at the press conference,

we bluffed with Wei Qianli,

and it was necessary given the circumstances.

But you need to understand the rules for this year.

[Competition Rules]

Only the top four

[CCRC Rules] in the Rookie Race

can participate in CCRC.

[Rookie Race] With the new talents

[4 People, CCRC] from various manufacturers and clubs,

there are conservatively around thirty of them.

Only the top six in CCRC can qualify

[6 People, Dakar Qualification Race] for the Dakar Qualification Race.

However, more than twenty

professional drivers are participating.

This year,

only one will receive comprehensive support

and recommendation

from the Federation of Automobile Sports of China

[One person] to join Dakar.

This means you'll be competing against

at least fifty professionally trained drivers.

Yes.

We also lack the funds

to self-finance for Dakar.

Moreover, the round in Dakar is extremely difficult,

and even if you go,

completing the race is not possible.

Is the Dakar round

that difficult?

Xiaohe,

how about you rearrange the track thing

for tomorrow's race?

I will talk more sense into him.

- OK. - Alright.

I'll see you later.

You probably don't know Dakar very well.

In China,

so far,

there have been only two individuals

who have stood

on the track of the Dakar Rally.

The first was Wei Qianli,

who went

by invitation and luck.

The second

was the legendary figure

in the Chinese racing world

and my personal idol,

Yu Tai'ang.

However,

Yu Tai'ang had an accident during an event,

and his whereabouts have been unknown since then,

which bodes ill rather than well.

[Registration Place]

[Bulls Racing Team, Yu Haixiang]

This is

the list of drivers for the next season.

[Bulls Racing Team, Racer: Yu Tai'ang Co-driver: Yu Haixiang]

Is Yu Tai'ang participating again this year?

Yes, he is.

Do you know, Zhendong,

in our generation of drivers,

including yours,

how many of us were inspired by Yu Tai'ang

to step onto the racetrack?

That includes me,

and it includes Zhang Chi.

Yu Tai'ang,

he was a person born for racing.

Throughout his life,

he pursued the ultimate and speed,

the pinnacle of competition.

[Racer: Yu Tai'ang] Yu Tai'ang again?

If he's going to register,

it's the responsibility of our Master Racing Team.

What does it have to do with the Bulls Racing Team?

It's been more than a decade since we last saw him.

Do you really expect him to make a comeback?

Do you even believe it yourself?

More than a decade ago,

Chinese racing was nothing.

Yu Tai'ang, with his

individual bravery and efforts,

brought Chinese racing

to the attention of the world.

He was a resolute pioneer

and a lonely adventurer.

Is that what you think of him?

Do you wish he would never come back?

I look forward to his coming back every day,

even in my dreams.

Will that work?

Will he come back?

We have given up.

Just learn from us

and be realistic.

I've met Yu Tai'ang only once.

I was a young driver back then.

Back then,

Tai'ang and I lost to you,

but now Lin Zhendong is here to challenge you.

Scared?

He will be in the Rookie Race,

not close to me at all.

Do you really think so?

Without you,

Yu Tai'ang,

or Zhang Chi on the track,

I think I will have a few easy years ahead.

One time, I just started practicing racing.

I lost control

going around a bend,

and Yu Tai'ang came over.

He walked up to me,

patted my shoulder, and said,

"Young man,

when you cornering,

your car's rear end dances like it's having a party.

You need to raise the RPM in advance,

and you must know how to control your car with the engine."

He was the king of racing.

He came over and shared

such a simple piece of advice

with a rookie like me who knew nothing.

He truly loved this industry

and was a genuinely sincere person.

But I heard,

he was not a good husband

or a good father.

Never underestimate

any of your opponents

because you never know

when someone might outshine you.

You don't get it.

Some people, in pursuit of their careers,

ultimately do not belong to their families.

Then, he shouldn't have started a family.

I have a feeling

that the next season,

you will be utterly miserable.

Since Dakar will be so hard,

we don't have much time.

Mr. Ye,

let's start the training.

[Unknown Number]

Is this Zhendong?

Hello,

I'm

Yu Tai'ang.

I watched you compete

during the Master Racing Rally Invitational.

For the round of Dakar,

I will be there too.

I hope I will see you

on the track at that time.

♪Only ask for the result♪

♪No cost♪

♪Nor way♪

♪Don't ask if the bend is scary♪

♪Only ask about the chips♪

♪Just ask about the way of my life♪

♪No assumption, only ask for the result♪

♪I'll challenge myself in this battle♪

♪If I can leave the heartbeat behind♪

♪Covering all thoughts amidst the roar♪

♪Crossing all voices♪

♪Beyond the speed of sound, until I can completely forget myself♪

♪Heading towards the wildfire ahead♪

♪The wildfire that can ignite me♪
