Xu Damao, having failed to secure the shares, conceived the idea of sending Liu Guangtian to prison. Whether this happened because Liu Guangtian moved too quickly or because Xu Damao’s hired thugs were intentionally slow remains a mystery. However, looking at the big picture, it is highly likely that Xu Damao was the mastermind behind the scheme.
The reason for Banggeng’s sudden visit to Second Uncle’s house to inquire about Aunt Er, Liu Guangfu, and Liu Guangtian now makes sense. The "587" had become a reality. Perhaps Banggeng wasn't concerned about why he hadn't seen Aunt Er for so long, but was instead trying to locate Liu Guangfu. This aligns with He Yuzhu's deduction. Xu Damao originally wanted to get rid of Liu Guangtian, but when that failed to yield the shares, he shifted his focus to Liu Guangfu to test if Second Uncle would be willing to sell them. Unexpectedly, Banggeng not only failed to learn anything about Liu Guangfu’s whereabouts but also ended up in a confrontation with Second Uncle, completely disrupting Xu Damao’s plans.
Realizing this, He Yuzhu immediately said, "Second Uncle, you should head back for now. Haitang, we have some things to take care of." Since Liu Guangtian and Banggeng were both in trouble, Xu Damao was also to blame and should keep them company. He Yuzhu’s only thought was to implicate Xu Damao as well, making sure he joined them.
