Back at home, Duan wonders why he is being blamed for the kidnapping. He wants to know if the commander has promised to keep his word. Duan asks if the letter is an excuse, and Duan says that the last time he staged the kidnapping, he did it because the guy was bullying him and he swindled from him and his family. He asks if Duan's integrity and righteousness are just acts for him, and he says that they must meet again, "it must be fate."
