Liu Jianguo's son is the next target of the family's retribution. He suddenly came down with a high fever, which Liu Jianguo interpreted as a sign that the curse was progressing. Huo Ning had warned that in three days, it would be his son's turn. Liu Jianguo sold off assets to scrape together money for atonement, partly to save his son. Later, his son started running a high fever again, pushing Liu Jianguo to finally give in and sell the villa to Liu Bo.
