The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Yeo prepare to leave for Hong Kong, but they are interrupted by the arrival of Mr. Yang, who has come to pick up his sister. Mr. Yeo tells his wife that he will not be able to return to Hong Kong because his uncle has not found a place to live in the city. He tells her that if she tries to make a fuss about his absence, she will be chased out of Hong Kong by the police. He says he will go to see his uncle, who is waiting for him at the train station.
