The next morning, the two men are waiting for each other in the underground car park. Beichen tells him that she wants to know the reason why chu left five years ago, but he can't figure it out from other people. He wants her to tell him herself, but she won't tell him because she doesn't want to hurt her feelings. The two men discuss the situation at hand, and the lawyer from the empire group has arrived. The lawyer tells Beichen that the company is preparing to acquire the JK group, and that no one should make a mistake, because the company's owner, hangzhi, will not allow chu to be a part of the deal. He tells her that she should tell chu straight to the face if he's involved in the deal, because she'll also refuse to participate in it because of her feelings for him. She tells him to stop talking to chu, because he'll have to explain himself.
