The chapter opens with the sound of chains pulling away from a building. The owner of the building, the swallow boss, asks why the sound is coming. He tells the man that his wife's rich family owns 20 apartments and that the man's surname is Xu, which means that he earns a lot of money doing illegal things. The swallow boss says that they are not short of money, and that it's just illogical for them to be doing such things. He says that he will still be watching the man and that he'll still try to get the man to leave. The man says that the sound has died away, and the police have no evidence against them, so they can just let them out. The boss tells him that they're fine, because the man is too unreliable. He adds that the next time he wants to do something, he will ask for the help of the man. The narrator tells us that the faceless girl has apparently died in the city of rongcheng. The ghost of the girl looks exactly like her, and she's dressed like a ghost.
