The next morning, the two men discuss the events of the previous day. Mr. A tells Mr. B that he has gone to see the old man, who has not been in touch with him for some time. He says that the police have stopped him from telling his partners in Hengcheng about his plan, and that he almost got caught, but he is now investigating. He tells B that everything he does is legitimate, so he is safe. The two men agree that it is time for them to part ways, and B says that he would like to do so with them. He adds that if they work together, they can erase their pasts. He warns B that his greed will kill him, and he tells him to stop now. As long as they team up, he says, they will be the ones to renovate the city.
