This chapter begins with a conversation between the two men. Mr. Xiuduo asks if he needs to take responsibility for what's going on with his son. He says that he's sorry, but he had no choice but to leave. He's not ready for a serious conversation, and he doesn't think that this is a good place for them to be. He asks if they're planning on waiting for ryan to get better, and if that's the case, then they can come back and deal with him. He also asks if the mission failed, and says that the bureau has already collapsed, and they should just treat it like a learning experience, not as an enemy. He tells his father that the identity of the kid has been made public, but that he won't be worried.
