Without this legal help, the group flees to another district of Shanghai. Xiao Yun also escapes the teahouse to reunite with the others, and she envisions starting a new life with Xiao Chen’s friend, Wang. However, the owner of the tea house and Mr. Gu soon track them all down. Xiao Hong manages to escape, but Xiao Yun stays behind and refuses to reveal her sister’s whereabouts to her adoptive father. He heartlessly calls her a slut and throws her against the wall, to which she responds by throwing a knife at him. The knife misses and he picks it up and throws it back at her, striking her in the chest and dealing a fatal blow. The others come back only to find her half-conscious. Without any money for a doctor, however, there is little they can do but band together. She dies with the group gathered around her, mourning.
