Gao Ming had a very deep impression of Lu Cang. The two first met in the Shadow World, where that guy told Gao Ming many secrets, some true, some false. At the time, Gao Ming felt he was different from others in Hanhai, but couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different.

Knowing this, when Doctor Gao said he bet on Gao Ming just as a casual act, Gao Ming did not refute him.
Gao Ming had no fondness for Doctor Gao but harbored a small hint of killing intent toward Lu Cang.
