In this chapter, we learn that Guoqiang has recorded the conversation between the two men in the box. In the box, they are talking about how they are going to attack the family of the master. The master asks the boy to warn the master not to attack his family, and the boy says that he will have to move his family to the master's house, or he can move to his own house. He also says that if he doesn't choose one of the mad dogs, he'll have to stop learning jade carving, and then he will run away. The boy coughs and says he's going to send his eldest son tomorrow to warn his family. He's also going to try to use more of the pearls to get through to the governor's and the conception's vessels. He says that the resistance increases with each section of the vein, and that it's like using a thin wire to connect two ends of an abyss. The pearls also have a very long internal energy reserve, which means that they can last for a hundred years. He tells his sister that he is going to go back to school, and she tells him to be careful.
