In summary, Ren Zhong plans to make the uncontrollable ambush controllable by intentionally showing a flaw.
What he's doing now is exactly that, to catch Hugh's tail.
This is the weapon-prohibited Lower Origin Capital City, and the people sent by Hugh must be experts. Under this premise, if Ren Zhong can still turn the danger around, he can both grab Hugh's weak spot and force the opponent to reassess the power balance.
Ren Zhong will use this incident to demand more support from some of the enterprises within the nine major leaders, ask for better security assurances, and sow discord between the Mengdu Group and the other leaders, forcing Augustus to speed up the confrontation with the other giants, further blocking Hugh Augustus's chances of pulling any tricks in the short term.
Hugh will be cautious, instinctively focusing more attention on No. 38 and summoning this "capable right-hand" in advance.
