The next morning, Mr. Du is called to find out what has happened to Mingxuan and her family. He tells the mother that she and her daughter are on the move, and that she should look out for them. He also tells her that he will call her back later to investigate the matter. He asks the mother if she knows where they are going, and she tells him that they should still be at the yuns' home. She tells her daughter that she was too careless to let her go there alone. She says that she cannot leave her fingerprints on anything of her daughter's things. She also tells the daughter to bring the brat out of the house. The mother says that if yang du hadn't done such a cowardly thing, they wouldn't be in such a mess. He is an accomplice, she says, and he embezzled money from her father's business to pay off gambling debts. The evidence is in my hands, he says. He says that he should throw the brat down first and then deal with him later.
