In the meantime, Mingke has gone to the detective's office to find out what's going on with his mistress. He's worried that if he finds out, he'll be blamed for the whole family's downfall. Mingke says that he doesn't want Mingke to give up his revenge on a woman, but he's also worried about his mother's feelings for Mingke. He decides to send Mingke's men back to China to make sure that Mingke and his mistress are safe. He says that if Mingke had known that he was Mingke, he would have killed Mingke at the very first sight, but Mingke is too young to do that now. He feels like Mingke hasn't been paying him enough attention lately, and that's why Mingke isn't around anymore. He asks Mingke why he didn't come with him to see him this year, and Mingke tells him that he still has a lot of business to deal with at the company.
