In this chapter, we learn that the young master has been away for a long time, and that he is now back in Hong Kong. He asks the butler to tell him what he plans to do with his life now that he has returned. The butler tells him that he will live in the house that the family has given him, since it is enough for him. He also tells him to get himself an identification so that he can remain in the human race. The young master tells the butler that he used to be his twin brother, but that he and his mother have left Hong Kong and gone back to China. He says that the butler has been with him since he was a child, and he calls him Uncle Xu. The two of them have been friends since childhood, and the butler says that he looks exactly like the young man. He adds that the master and madam have never mentioned this before, so it is not a big deal.
