The investigative journalist discovers an uncanny parallel in the ancient case "Nan Commandery Tingzhang Hu Assaulting a Staff-wielder," where a low-level official beat a judicial enforcer. As the modern trial approaches, the legal team for the surrogate women must argue that the island's "staff-wielder" was not an officer of the court but an instrument of illegal detention and systemic rape. The chapter interweaves the historical precedent with the moral dilemma of whether a slave can legally obstruct her oppressor.
