Cross Fire Episode 16 Recap
> Cross Fire Recap
Wang Kai suddenly told everyone that he would not be able to play games anymore. His grandmother needed care. Although Wang Kai's parents wanted them to go to Vietnam, neither of them wanted to leave. Besides, Vietnam's medical conditions were not as advanced as in China. To let Wang Kai continue playing esports, his grandmother was willing to go to a nursing home, but Wang Kai, of course, was unwilling to let her go.
Cheng Hao said that the conditions in nursing homes were quite good now, but this was the municipal nursing home, and just getting a number for a spot would take half a year. Wang Kai had no connections. Lu Xiaobei glanced at Cheng Hao and said he could handle it. Cheng Hao's father should be able to help. Wang Kai returned home and saw his parents packing their things, preparing to go to Vietnam.
Wang Kai declared that he wouldn't go. His grandmother even cut her passport on the spot. Seeing this, Wang Kai swallowed all the passports. Wang Kai's father, infuriated, slapped him. His grandmother, seeing this, protected Wang Kai and also hit her son, telling them to go back to Vietnam and for Wang Kai to stay and focus on esports while she went to the nursing home.
Wang Kai's parents were worried that the nursing home conditions might not be good, so Wang Kai immediately declared that his grandmother would go to the municipal nursing home with good conditions, as his friend had connections! For Wang Kai, Cheng Hao went to see his father, whom he hadn't contacted for many years.
After Cheng Hao's parents divorced back then, he swore he would never ask his father for a single penny, but now he asked him to do something. Cheng Hao's father still owed Cheng Hao's mother an apology. Seeing Cheng Hao's insistence, Cheng Hao's father could only agree and told him to set a time and place. Cheng Hao smugly curled his lips.
Using a provoking tactic, Cheng Hao's father indeed agreed to help him sort out the nursing home matter, but the condition was that Cheng Hao couldn't block his contact information. Xu Wei confessed to everyone about using a cheat. Xiao Feng decided to step forward and admit the mistake. He had already asked An Lan to go to the competition committee. Everyone wanted to discuss it further, but Xiao Feng's attitude was very firm.
Mistakes had to be admitted; perhaps there would be other hopes. An Lan had already arranged to go directly to the office tomorrow morning. Qilin and Xiao Feng started arguing. If this matter got out, just the gossip could drown them. How would they make a living after that? Xiao Feng still insisted on his idea. Xu Wei stated that he could go and admit the mistake, but this matter concerned everyone's future, so he hoped Xiao Feng could reconsider.
The next day, An Lan, Xiao Feng, and Xu Wei went to the office. Qilin, A Ming, and Chang Sha waited anxiously outside. The result was to go back and wait for the notice. The worst-case scenario was the cancellation of their National Challenge eligibility and a permanent ban for the entire team. Wang Kai arranged for his grandmother to be admitted to the municipal nursing home.
His parents would also be going to Vietnam the day after tomorrow, and he could finally stay to pursue his dream. Lu Xiaobei took everyone to the school. Chu Ge had a competition today, and they were there to cheer for her. Yang Ting had deep hostility towards Chu Ge.
Because Yang Ting's father was a leader in the city's sports bureau, Chu Ge was wrongly warned for a false start at the beginning, clearly intended to make Yang Ting win first place. Chu Ge ultimately won the competition. Yang Ting almost went to cause trouble for Chu Ge, but Lu Xiaobei, Cheng Hao, Wang Kai, Qilin, and Su Jiayi all appeared to protect her. Su Jiayi suggested going to an amusement park to celebrate.
Everyone played there for the entire day. In the evening, everyone made wishes by the sea and played freely. Chen Rong's report instantly spread the news that the Steel Coin team had cheated. Xiao Feng received countless accusatory calls every day. The Ningjiang internet café also refused them entry because of their cheating.
Everyone was a bit disheartened, so they could only take a hundred yuan to a black internet café to arrange a match online, but their opponent stood them up. Everyone was very unhappy. Xiao Feng could only comfort them, telling them to endure for now and wait for the penalty results. Xu Wei felt a bit guilty; he was the one who implicated everyone. Xu Wei silently smoked alone. An Lan gave him a White Rabbit creamy candy.
Xu Wei seemed to regret it, and only at this moment did he understand that something he desired so much was not as wonderful as he thought. Xu Wei suddenly asked An Lan if she had ever had a boyfriend or someone she liked. An Lan denied both, but her second answer was somewhat reluctant. Xu Wei noticed this and asked An Lan again if she would stay with the team if Xiao Feng left one day.
An Lan counter-questioned him, and Xu Wei answered affirmatively, that he would. Yang Ting found out that Chu Ge's father was a murderer and relentlessly taunted her in front of her, telling her to get out of school, otherwise she would let everyone know about it, including Lu Xiaobei. Chu Ge excitedly grabbed Yang Ting's neck and warned her to keep all these things to herself, otherwise, she would definitely make Yang Ting regret it. Yang Ting nodded fearfully.
Chu Ge was lost in thought by the sea and asked Lu Xiaobei why he liked playing games. Lu Xiaobei said that the greatest joy of playing games was knowing that he would fail but still constantly trying. Games taught him to do the right thing, not the easy thing. Chu Ge's emotions were very complicated. She turned and went home, going online to ask if people would be friends with a murderer's daughter. Everyone replied that they wouldn't.
Chu Ge looked at these comments and painfully hugged herself. The matter of Chu Ge's father spread on the forum. Everyone said that genes are inherited and pointed fingers at her even more. Chu Ge immediately broke down and ran to the changing room, smashing Yang Ting's locker. Everyone was terrified. After discussing tactics, Cheng Hao invited everyone to sing. Everyone was a bit drunk. Cheng Hao thanked Su Jiayi, Wang Kai Nezha, and Lu Xiaobei one by one.
His parents would give him a lot of money, but as soon as his card was suspended, all those so-called friends would run away. At that time, Lu Xiaobei was always by his side. Now, he also had four more family members, including Chu Ge. Everyone raised their glasses, cheering for the team, "Go, we will win!" Lu Xiaobei couldn't reach Chu Ge and only saw the sensational news in the school's online forum.
