The next morning, Lin learns that his father has died and that he will inherit half of his fortune. He tells Lin that he is willing to share the inheritance with his brother if his father's death causes him to become a fatherless man. Lin tells him that he can have a romantic dinner with her after her father dies, but that she must not contact her for another month. Lin says that she will not interfere again, and that if she had chased him, she would have begged her mother to give her another chance. Lin asks Lin to go with them to the train station, and Lin tells her that he wants her to leave her son and go as far away as possible. He gives her five tickets to different cities, and she gives him a check for the cost of the ticket. She says that if Lin refuses to go, he will become the second person to die in the fire.
