In this chapter, we learn that Renji is a simple young man who is not involved in any shady business dealings. Renji tells his mother that he will resign from his position at the company the next day. He tells her that he is tired of her constant nagging and demands to know why she is not angry with him. She tells him that she has a serious heart condition and that she cannot be angry. She also tells Renji that his mother hired a hired murderer three years ago to scare away Renji and his sister. She then married a French man and has been doing very well ever since.
