The chapter opens with a long conversation between Lu Qian and his uncle, who is exhausted after a long day of talking. He tells his son that he has only one request for him: he wants to know what has happened to the company. The company has suffered a breakdown of its capital chain after Lu Haiping, and the chairman of the company has been accused of graft. A number of shareholders have sold their shares at a price too low to cover the losses, so Lu has come up with a plan to take the company over. He asks his son why he is there, and he tells him that the company will not be reduced to the price it is now because of his father's theft. He also tells him he has hired a lawyer to represent his father, and that he will be released from prison in two weeks
