Compared to the other guests who fled in a hurry, the Salt Gang seemed to have some sense of loyalty. They didn't immediately slink back in defeat but instead hid outside, waiting for Qiu Ziheng to stumble out. As soon as he did, they rushed to his side to inquire about his condition.

They were all in the same boat, and Qiu Ziheng was their benefactor. They relied on him for their livelihood, so it was neither reasonable nor sensible for them to abandon him now.

Seeing a few others who had also been beaten badly waiting for him outside, Qiu Ziheng's sullen and unpleasant expression eased a bit, though the piercing pain in his fingers didn't subside at all.
