Inspector Ivan looked at Gu'er and her three companions. 'They're all quite composed,' he thought. Finding him through his daughter showed they had some skill. Moreover, his daughter had an excellent impression of the girl named Lin Gu'er and had insisted that he help her. He had asked his daughter for a detailed account of her interactions with Lin Gu'er, and she had told him the girl was beautiful, honest, and kind. He found that acceptable. Still, he felt Gu'er's admission to his daughter that she had "used" her showed a lack of nerve. 'She's not a true businessperson,' he mused. 'A businessperson always puts profits first.'
