Shao Hengjiang said, "I'm almost certain, and here's why: the local snake is definitely a clever person. His planning of his own fake death reveals his cunning nature. Moreover, he didn't hastily leave after faking his death. He just didn't anticipate that pinning the blame on Lion Head Island wouldn't lead to a massive conflict among the thirty-six islands. Events unfolded faster than he expected, and peace was restored before he could evacuate Taiping Island. They missed the opportunity to leave, because, as I mentioned before, a hasty departure would certainly have attracted attention. Who would have expected the incident at the crossroads."
