His subordinate, Ishida, who once secretly loved Xiaolu, tries to help Mr. Shangliang through his grief and also to vent his own depression.

After accepting Ishida's job, she visits David's store alone, and after a brief conversation, unexpected feelings begin to surge within her. The assassin and the target, a misplaced entanglement of emotions begins...
