Shi Chun took the opportunity to secretly bring Wu Jinliang to the backyard, into the room where Fan Wuzhe lived, and had Wu Jinliang lift the floor tiles to escape underground.

"Don't worry, be careful, I'm off." Wu Jinliang said, then went underground.
Shi Chun quickly restored the floor tile to its original state…

A deal that played out like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, ended almost anti-climactically after a tumult of undercurrents.
