The truth unfolds: Dexun and his friends were vandalising HDB walls on the night of Tosh’s suicide. Dexun was sent to buy alcohol. Apparently, Tosh was so drunk that he thought he had regeneration abilities, so he leaped off the rooftop. Guixiang finds out Dexun has been forced to move out of his flat. He takes him home to stay temporarily. Xuanmei’s displeasure is clear, but she relents at Guixiang’s reason for taking Dexun in. Lantian tails Xuewei to his own home and sees him taking Hongxi away.
