Mr. Swimmer Episode 45 Recap
> Mr. Swimmer Recap
Bai Yongze's mother was hesitant about Bai Yongze's endorsement deal. Under the intimidation of the one-eyed man, she finally took the money. She treated her family to a big meal. Everyone joked about her generosity, but Bai Yongze's mother was absent-minded, constantly thinking about how to bring up the endorsement. She finally found an opportunity to mention it, but Bai Yongze's father rebuffed her, saying they would discuss it after the competition.
Bai Yongze noticed his mother's unusual behavior but didn't pay much attention at the dinner table. That night, after returning home, Bai Yongze's mother tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She tried to secretly hide the money given by the one-eyed man, but Bai Yongze's father discovered her. She then confessed everything.
Bai Yongze's father was so angry he slapped his thigh, saying there must be a trick involved and told her to return the money quickly, adding that he would figure out a way to pay the debt. Song Chacha's uncle learned that this plan wouldn't work, so he had to resort to force with the one-eyed man. When Song Chacha's mother came to return the money, he quietly followed her.
Upon seeing the one-eyed man, he rushed out to confront him, asking what he intended to do to Bai Yongze, and was then taken away in a car by the one-eyed man. Bai Yongze recalled his mother's abnormal behavior from last night and was about to ask her about it, when his mother's call came in. She was crying so hard she couldn't speak. Bai Yongze rushed to find her. His mother cried worriedly while apologizing.
Bai Yongze comforted his mother and analyzed the whole situation. Knowing that the kidnappers would definitely make demands, Bai Yongze and his mother quietly waited for the call. Bai Yongze's mother also took the opportunity to explain all about taking Boss Wu's health products in the past. When the phone rang, they quickly answered, asking what the other party wanted.
The one-eyed man only said that Bai Yongze must withdraw from the competition and not call the police; only then would his father be safe and sound. Before Bai Yongze could answer, he heard Bai Yongze's father shouting from the other end of the line, "Whatever you do, don't withdraw from the competition!" Mid-call, the one-eyed man beat up Bai Yongze's father. Bai Yongze, following his mother's hint, found Boss Wu.
Boss Wu's subordinates seemed unaware of what he was talking about. In a fit of impulse, Bai Yongze started fighting with the group. After Lan Tian learned that Bai Yongze's father had been kidnapped, he told Song Chacha and advised her not to act rashly but to wait and see. Song Chacha, upon hearing that Bai Yongze was going to rescue his father alone, rushed to the location. She happened to see Bai Yongze being knocked unconscious.
When Bai Yongze woke up and saw Song Chacha captured by the group, he was ready to compromise. Just then, Lan Tian arrived, knocking down two people with a few punches and kicks, and rescued Song Chacha. After breaking free, Bai Yongze fought alongside Lan Tian. Soon after, the police arrived and took them all away.
Lan Tian's father was having a meeting with the Jin family when he received a call saying Lan Tian had been taken to the police station. Realizing that the matter had alarmed the police, he told Song Chacha's uncle to change the plan: Bai Yongze only needed to deliberately lose to Lan Tian during the swimming competition. Song Chacha's uncle proceeded with the second plan.
Nana heard that Lan Tian was detained at the police station and rushed over by helicopter to resolve the situation. Lan Tian felt even more guilty towards Nana. From a distance, they saw Song Chacha and Bai Yongze embracing. Nana looked at Lan Tian with a pained heart, and no matter how Lan Tian treated her, she still went her own way, taking care of him. Song Chacha's uncle finally showed up.
He changed his tune, saying that Bai Yongze could participate in the competition, but he couldn't win against Lan Tian. Bai Yongze's father, after being punched by the one-eyed man, verbally agreed to it. He hid his phone in the restroom, then pretended to use it, sending a text message to Bai Yongze, telling him not to believe anything he said over the phone. He planned to stay undercover there to find out the mastermind.
After Bai Yongze received the message, when asked, he claimed his father had returned to Beijing, and everyone believed him. He continued training and eating as usual, but worry was unavoidable; no matter what he did, he looked preoccupied. On this day, Bai Yongze swam his best time ever. Everyone congratulated him while eating at Song Chacha's restaurant. Just then, Song Chacha's mother received a call from Song Chacha's uncle and casually mentioned Bai Yongze's best time.
Upon hearing this, Song Chacha's uncle immediately questioned Bai Yongze's father, "Didn't we say he shouldn't train well and absolutely couldn't surpass Lan Tian?" After hearing this, Bai Yongze's father secretly felt proud of Bai Yongze. Then he thought, the news spread so quickly, it must have been someone from the swim team who tipped them off. He concluded that Lan Tian was the mastermind and secretly sent a text message to Bai Yongze.
Bai Yongze was having dinner with everyone when he received the message. He was utterly shocked and stared at Lan Tian in disbelief. Lan Tian asked him what was wrong, and he said he was fine. When they were returning after dinner, he couldn't bear the inner torment any longer and caught up with Lan Tian.
