In this chapter, Qiu tells his younger brother that he's listening to his brother's conversation about bowen-zheng. He's worried about the lawsuit, but he doesn't want to worry about the court case. He also tells his brother that hiring people to post court verdicts on the internet isn't really a good idea, because the people who do it don't enjoy doing it. So, he asks his brother to help him with his manuscript. He tells him that he can use the money from his manuscript wage to help with the lawsuit. But first, he wants to thank his brother for his help. He asks him not to talk about his friendship with mo-qian, but to help himself. He wants to know why he is hiding the matter from him. He explains that he is too weak to help mo-quin with his problems, so he needs to keep the matter a secret from his brother. But if he figures it out, he won't have to blame him, he says. Now it's Qiu's turn to ask him for a favor. He says that he knows Congyun-xiang, a friend of his from high school, and he'd like to apologize for pursuing him.
