The Xie Family all studied law, possessing the fine qualities expected of a scholarly family. Xie Shang too had them: elegance, deep learning, a Fragrance Connoisseur versed in classics, also skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
But he was mad, capable of reciting the scriptures while holding a Buddha statue, as well as breaking people's hand and foot bones, very gentle, yet very cruel.
Xie Shang didn't become a lawyer but opened a pawnshop instead, where you could pawn anything as long as the story was compelling.

Xie Shang's uncle had died in Fragrant City, which is why he accepted this particular pawning business.
Bewitched, confused, thrilled, deeply in love, but love unattained, and a pain so intense it made life unbearable. — This was the script Xie Shang had prepared for the deaf boy Wen Changling.
In the end, it was Xie Shang who ended up with this romance-addled script.
Wen Changling: Are you surprised, Mr. Xie Shang?

Xie Shang drove steadily, maintaining an almost uniform speed. Wen Changling slept through the journey and didn't wake up even after arriving home. Xie Shang carried her into her room, changed her clothes and cleaned her up, before going outside to make a phone call.


Lin Yaoping said, "The autopsy report hasn't come out yet."


Today at the Gu Family's, before dinner, Lin Yaoping had called to inform of Zheng Lvhong's death.


The next day, Fu Ying accompanied Wen Changling to the psychological counseling room, while Xie Shang made a trip to the police station. In the capital city, March had already ushered in spring, and the temperature was slowly rising.


The autopsy report had just come out. Zheng Lvhong had not committed suicide but had been strangled with a towel. The suspect was identified as Zheng Lvhong's fellow inmate, Huang Lie.
