Eunuch FAI commits suicide by hanging himself from a beam and dies. According to TIM-SHAU, FAI, until his death, has been insisting that he had not wronged DE-HAI.

While persuading his best friend to let go of SIU-CHAI, LIAN-YING is also flamed with anger, wanting to get rid of her. DE-HAI goes back to his mansion, but SIU-CHAI is no where to be found……
