The Glory of Youth — Season 1, Episode 8: Xia Zhuo Abandons the Shortcut to Rescue His Brother

Episode synopsis

Lin Anbang deliberately pressed the abandon button. Lü Zheng immediately drove over, only to find the button alone. At that moment, Lin Anbang and Yi Zimeng secretly emerged and drove off with Lü Zheng's car. Xia Zhuo and Ouyang Jun went to find Lin Anbang and Yi Zimeng, only to encounter an enraged Lü Zheng. Xia Zhuo and Ouyang Jun brought Lü Zheng back to the standby hangar, arriving just as the Four Elders were dining. The two were ravenously hungry. Lin Anbang and Yi Zimeng drove up to meet everyone, claiming they'd withdrawn from the competition. Lü Zheng had sent him to sell goods, and the group was instantly fooled. Since they hadn't brought money for the competition, Lin Anbang even had Yi Zimeng keep track of the accounts.
