At Jiang Cheng's words, and after seeing what was before him, the confusion in Fatty's eyes gradually cleared. "Doctor, did you know all along that Wu had woken up? Was this whole act something you and Wu put on together? But... when did you two discuss it? How come I didn't know a thing?"
Of course, most of Fatty's questions were about Wu and Water Lord. When had they reached an agreement? And though all this elaborate scheming seemed to have been done to prepare for killing Shao Tong in the end, Fatty still felt they had gone a little too far.

"Wu was using his own methods to pass him information. Zhang Qizheng's corpse was the signal. The corpse could easily have pushed the courtyard gate open, but it didn't. Instead, it went to the trouble of chopping at it with a stick. That was a hint, one only the two of them could understand."

After saying this, Shao Tong turned to Water Lord and clicked his tongue. "Old man, you're the worst actor of the lot. If you're going to fight, then fight.
