In this chapter, we learn that the current President of the Agricultural Group, who grew up abroad, has not returned to his native land in the past few years. He has not been in touch with his family in the United States for some time. The fire at the department store was caused by a short circuit in the electrical system, and the main responsibility for the fire lies with him. He is not responsible for the other parts of the fire, which were caused by the failure of the store's fire fighting equipment. The damage to the family's home and car is also very high, as the mortgage on the house is too high.
