The next morning, the narrator wakes up to find that the president of the multination group has returned to China. The man is named gong ou, and he is described as a British-born, mixed-with-Asian and European-descended from a British aristocratic family. His research and development has led to a worldwide monopoly in the field of software and systems, as well as in finance. In addition, his company has become the top-of-the-world publicly traded corporations in the world this year. The narrator collapses and wonders how she could have dreamed of being abducted by such a man. He wonders if the pain of the dream is still there, and wonders if it could have been that hurt.
