In the much-anticipated thirteenth episode of the Vietnamese drama series 'White Fire', Cương, played by Duy Hưng, is seen contemplating promoting Mai, portrayed by Việt Hoa, to the role of gang leader. This proposal leads Mai to suspect that Cương harbors feelings for her, as he aims to position her as the representative of the notorious gang led by Lão Công.

In a gripping preview of the episode, Mai confronts Cương about his secretive behavior and his recent meetings, expressing her concerns about his unresolved issues with Huân. She questions whether Cương intends to sacrifice Huân's life to save her father, highlighting the intense moral dilemmas faced by the characters.

During a conversation with her superior, Đỗ Việt, Mai asserts her belief that Cương's intentions are genuine and that he is genuinely worried about how to manage her within the gang's operations. She reflects on the potential for a deeper connection, suggesting that under different circumstances, she and Cương could have been close friends.

Meanwhile, Lan, played by Thu Quỳnh, approaches Cương to discuss a potential collaboration on a significant shipment. Their past relationship adds complexity to their negotiations, as Lan reveals her access to high-quality goods from across the border, while Cương offers his established distribution network. She insists that their partnership must be equal, contrasting with the domineering attitude of Cương's previous boss.

In another subplot, Thảo My finds herself manipulated by Trúc, who has uncovered secrets about her dealings with Lão Công. This manipulation aims to uncover the whereabouts of items prepared for Lão Công's deceased son, adding another layer of intrigue to the narrative.
