In this chapter, we learn that Dr. . Zhuang has been missing ami for 30 days, and that she is wearing a name-collar, which means that she has lost her left ear. In order to find her, .Zhao has cast a search party, but the party has failed to find ami. He tells the party that he has no choice but to hire Zhuang as his assistant because he can read minds, and he knows that Zhuang is not in love with him. He says that he can measure people's affection towards him by looking at their eyes, and this is the only way he can gauge their love for him.
