The next chief would be chosen between Chen Jianmei and Shen Lian. Zhang Ruoxu's initial intention was to groom Lu Shouyi to be the next chief. This was so as Chen Jianmei's character was not a good fit for the position, and Shen Lian preferred freedom. However, time did not wait for him. His injuries were worsening at a rate that was out of his expectation.
