Ignoring warnings from her parents and the British Consulate, Mei and Qianyi set about finding one witness who is willing to tell the truth and change their statement about the night Ajun was wrongfully arrested. They go to 'Little Africa', an African district in Guangzhou, but as each of the witnesses in turn refuses to help, it becomes clear that fear of retribution dwarfs any desire for justice for Ajun. Even his best friend Huang Tao is unable to help. Though devastated for Ajun, he and his family know that standing up to the authorities would result in severe punishment and it is a risk they can't take.

With all avenues appearing futile, Qianyi introduces Mei to a private investigator called Mr Lin. He says he can get all the witnesses to change their statements, but he wants 拢50,000 for his time. When Mei turns to her parents for help, they have an agonising decision to make - give Mei the money or risk losing her forever. They agree but decide it is time they went to China.

The shared desire to free Ajun and expose this miscarriage of justice brings Mei and Ying closer, allowing her mother to share with her the difficulties of their past. As she assimilates to China, its cultures and her family, Mei's life back in England grows ever more distant.

Mr Lin successfully discovers a route by which to persuade the key witnesses to tell the truth, but he needs Mei's help in collecting the evidence. Determined to save her brother, Mei crosses a rubicon and secures the means to win his freedom, but it comes at a cost to her personally.

As the day for Ajun's court hearing looms large, hope is high and a family is close to being reunited.
