In this chapter, Dongchen recalls the night when he was beaten up by the gang and thrown into an alley. He asks the gang's leader, Yangbai, if he still loves him. The gang leader says that he does not, and that he has sent his wife to work in a foreign country. He says that all the money that she owes to the gang must be returned. He tells the gang leader that he will never let him stay by another's side again.
