"My Name Is Zhao Chuxi" Episode 28 Recap: Ice, Assassins, and Daddy Issues
Alright, folks, buckle up—this episode is a wild ride of snowstorms, shady backroom deals, and some very awkward family reunions. Let’s dive in.
Li Jianshe’s Not-So-Friendly Visit
The episode kicks off with Zhao Chuxi side-eyeing Li Jianshe, who shows up unannounced after Zhao crashed Uncle Liu’s birthday party like a human wrecking ball. But surprise! Uncle Liu isn’t holding a grudge (allegedly). Instead, he sends Li to ask Zhao one loaded question: What’s your endgame? Zhao, ever the blunt king, doesn’t sugarcoat it: “Hand over Zhou Bin’s criminal files, and we’re cool.” He also casually mentions he’s going camping tomorrow… with just Zhou Yi as backup. Subtle, right? Uncle Liu, now sweating bullets, decides Zhou Bin isn’t worth losing his empire over. Bye, Felicia!
Camping Trip Gone Very Wrong
Cut to Zhao and Zhou Yi trekking through a snowy wilderness with Cheng Zixin, who’s way too excited about “watching a show.” Meanwhile, Zhou Bin’s hired goons (fresh off a flight from Generic Action Movie Land) lurk nearby, ready to strike. But plot twist! Lin Sanwu and Li Qingyi drop in like icy ninjas, beating the snot out of the assassins. Before the thugs can yell “cut!”, cops swarm in—Zhao had already tipped them off. Zhou Bin and his crew get hauled away faster than you can say “justice served.” Bonus: Zhao hands over a neat little folder of Zhou Bin’s crimes to the police. Case closed? Not quite.
Xu Shaoqing’s Villain Meltdown
Zhou Bin’s downfall sends Xu Shaoqing into a spiral. He whines to lackey Guan Yue, who tattles to Daddy Zhang Shengbai. Zhang, unimpressed by his son’s incompetence, orders Xu to bribe Sanjiang Group’s VP, Huangtu. Xu drags traitor-in-training Chen Tao along for the scheme, dangling a cool 10 million RMB in front of Huangtu. Huangtu plays it coy (“I’ll think about it”), but let’s be real—he’s already mentally spending that cash. Meanwhile, Zhang’s master plan? Let Chen Tao take over Sanjiang if things go south. Cold-blooded? Absolutely. Effective? Stay tuned.
The Zhao vs. Zhang Showdown
The episode’s pièce de résistance? Zhao Chuxi strutting into Zhang Shengbai’s lair like he owns the place. Zhang, busy shooting arrows like a wannabe Hawkeye, sneers that Zhao’s “too green” to challenge him. But Zhao ain’t here for small talk—he’s here to destroy Zhang’s reputation and avenge... something vague from his childhood? (We need answers, writers!) Zhang smugly accepts the challenge, demanding Zhao kneel if he loses. Zhao fires back: “Who’ll be begging then?” Mic drop.
Final Thoughts
This episode serves up revenge, betrayal, and enough dramatic stares to fuel a telenovela. Will Huangtu sell out? Can Zhao out-scheme Zhang? And why is camping always a death trap in this show? Share your theories below!
