The next morning, after the fight, Cai Mingwei tells his father that he's decided to terminate the contract with the guards. He's shocked that they're beating him so badly, and he wonders how they can live with such peace of mind when they've committed such a heinous crime. He also wonders if he'll ever be able to beat the guards again, since he thinks they deserve it more than he does. He wonders if it's better to be a star and live a normal life than to live a life of constant conflict with people. He thinks that if he lets the guards go, both of them will be angry. He decides to change into his new clothes and get back to school. He gives his father two choices: 1) he can take the two million from the liu-mingwei, or 2) he can call him whenever he is in contact with the prisoners. He chooses the second option.
