In this chapter, we learn that Mr. Zhan has known Mr. Cai for a long time, and that he has trusted him to protect him from his family and friends. He has even gone so far as to go to his school to slap Mr. Manette, who has come to visit him. He tells his friend that he is ashamed of what he has done, and he tells him that he will not call or harass anyone else. He also tells him not to worry about what others think of him, because he is his own person, and no one else can interfere in his affairs. He warns his friend not to get involved with women he does not know, because they will think that he lacks backbone.
