The chapter opens with a soliloquy by Lu, who is very sorry for what has happened. He tells his son to go back to his boss and tell him that the hospital has been shut down because of the doctor's dismissal. Lu tells his father that he still cares for him, although he's retired. He says that he knows what to do, and that he'll try to make amends to the doctor in person. He suggests holding a charity auction and inviting the doctor over in two days. He also suggests that he apologize to his fiancee in person, but he doesn't want her to know about it. He decides to go to an antique street near his fiancee's house, where he can buy a snuff bottle that's worth about five million yuan. The snuff bottle is fake, he says, and he won't be able to do business there. He asks if the jade is real, and the old man says that it is. The old man asks if he just used "feather float," a famous technique for avoiding the rain, and if the young man could be the disciple of moyun cliff. The young man says he'd like to go for a walk with him.
