Xu Ke staged his own fake death, a method he used to turn a certain defeat into a victory. Not only did he manage to escape safely, but he also allowed the Wang Family to seize the opportunity to capture members of the Huang and Ye families.

Huang Sheng had been puzzled, wondering why Xu Ke hadn't committed suicide earlier or later, but chose to do so at the precise moment the Wang Family completed their encirclement of the factory. Now, it seemed this was proof that he had always planned to capture everyone by feigning death.
