The director had already made it clear that the other seven lots were blank, and that once the "Traitor Leader" was drawn, the drawing of lots would immediately come to an end; thus, Liu Huang playing the role of the Traitor Leader was a done deal.
The identity of the Traitor Leader had to be revealed to everyone.
After Liu Huang showed everyone the lot he drew as the Traitor Leader, he also publicly announced his chosen collaborator to play the role of the lackey.
He chose Huang Xun.
"Thank you, Doctor Liu! Thank you, Boss! The boss is mighty and brilliant! This is the boss's acknowledgment of me! I will definitely do my utmost to help the boss win this confrontation!" Huang Xun was extremely excited.
During the last performance, Feng Dahai had chosen Du Qing from the same guild to play the role of the lackey. That role was very safe; it allowed complete freedom and did not require the actor to be punished along with other editors.
