After a decade of overseas research and fieldwork in Takalizan, Harriett returns home. His son, Holden, concerned about his mother’s opinion on his marriage, asks his girlfriend Venus to bring a globally unique, precious medicinal reagent to the airport to greet her. In a hurry, Venus takes a shortcut and nearly hits a child with her car. Harriett, passing by, intervenes to stop the vehicle, causing the reagent to shatter. Unaware that the woman is Harriett, Venus and her brother Victor physically assault her, even destroying the sole memento left by Holden’s late father.
