The Night of the Comet Episode 14 Recap
> The Night of the Comet Recap
After Cheng Hao recovered and was discharged from the hospital, he resolved to cherish every moment with Lin Xiaoxiao. Lin Xiaoxiao was delighted and eagerly brought Cheng Hao to visit her Grandma in the countryside. Grandma was visibly pleased with Cheng Hao. Lin Xiaoxiao told Cheng Hao that her parents had split up after she was born, and her Grandma had raised her, making her the only family.
Cheng Hao believed that with Lin Xiaoxiao in the secluded countryside, Xu driver wouldn't be able to find them, and this was the only way he could protect her. That evening, Cheng Hao and Lin Xiaoxiao shared a bed. Xu driver intensified his coercion of Mr. Xu, demanding the passcode to his safe and Swiss bank accounts, threatening to harm his wife and daughter.
Mr. Xu, out of love for his daughter, agreed to reveal everything if Xu driver would let his family go. Later, Lin Xiaoxiao and Cheng Hao released Kongming lanterns in the yard. Cheng Hao remained distracted, constantly checking his phone. A news alert suddenly popped up on his phone, announcing that the Jiuwei comet would appear that night, marking its closest approach to Earth.
Cheng Hao recalled his own experience of crossing over during a comet event and realized this comet might be the key to his departure from this world. He asked Lin Xiaoxiao what she would do if he were to leave that night. Soon after, Cheng Hao received a phone call from his assistant, informing him that Mr. Xu was being held at a countryside warehouse.
Noticing Cheng Hao’s behavior, Lin Xiaoxiao felt something was wrong and suspected he was hiding something from her. Cheng Hao quickly told Grandma that something urgent had come up and he needed to leave. When Cheng Hao arrived at the warehouse, he confronted Xu driver, who was holding Mr. Xu captive. Xu driver, having already extracted the necessary passwords, was intent on killing Mr. Xu. The two men engaged in a violent struggle.
Cheng Hao managed to knock Xu driver unconscious and began performing first aid on Mr. Xu, who was gravely injured. Xu driver unexpectedly regained consciousness and ambushed Cheng Hao, knocking him out. Xu driver decided to stage a scene where Cheng Hao and Mr. Xu had a violent dispute, resulting in their vehicle plunging off a cliff. He even mutilated Mr. Xu's face to ensure he would be unrecognizable.
Just as Xu driver drove the car towards the cliff edge, Cheng Hao regained consciousness and managed to escape the vehicle moments before it plummeted over the precipice. Seeing Cheng Hao alive, Xu driver attacked him again. This time, Cheng Hao defeated Xu driver, sending him tumbling down the cliff. Simultaneously, Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been tracking Cheng Hao's phone's location, arrived at the cliff.
Upon discovering a blood trail and receiving a 110 distress signal that Cheng Hao had sent, Lin Xiaoxiao realized he and Mr. Xu were still alive. Police cars soon arrived. However, unseen by the others, a pair of hands emerged from below the cliff, a chilling sign that Xu driver had survived his fall.
