In response to Yang Bolin's inquiry, Ma Ning's expression did not change as he feigned ignorance:
"Ambush? I don't quite understand what you mean, Shopkeeper Yang?"
Yang Bolin looked at him deeply, took out a badge from his sleeve.
The badge looked somewhat peculiar; it appeared to be a rabbit, but its color and edges seemed to bear signs of damage.
According to Zhao Zhicai and Yang Bolin.
When he approached Shopkeeper Chu Feng of Chu's Commerce Association in the eastern city, he found Chu Feng, who felt cornered, angrily throwing the badge into a fire basin, intending to burn it in a fit of rage.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhicai declared his identity in time and forcibly retrieved the badge from the flames.
Though the badge could still be recognized when taken out, its exterior had some blackened scorches.
Yang Bolin played with the badge in his hand and slowly said:
"Shopkeeper Ma, you should recognize this little thing, right?"
