Oh man, now you're making me really want to write some of this Yunlan's POV -- I'm so used to his usual POV but this one will be a ride...
I kind of love the idea of Yunlan running a boxing gym as kind of a halfway house for Dixingren -- that a lot of the "cases" he pursues aren't actually to capture Dixingren but to help and save them. Only when it's a real dangerous case does he drop a dime in the right places for the BCE to turn up. So from Yunlan's POV the BCE is a necessary evil -- but he's pretty sure of the evil.
And then, this Professor Shen -- he has some connection to the BCE, Yunlan is sure, may even be working with him...except the more he sees of Shen Wei, the more he can tell that this is a genuinely good guy, one of the few he's ever met. But he's keeping secrets too, pretty obviously. So Yunlan maybe starts believing that the BCE has some kind of hold on Shen Wei, is extorting his help (maybe it's got something to do with that "Kunlun" guy that Shen Wei is secretly so hung up on, maybe the BCE is using that as leverage against him...)
I think Shen Wei starts making extra food and shares it. And very quickly starts to note what gets eaten the fastest and with the least notice and makes more of that...
Oh man though, Shen Wei being the one who sees Yunlan bandaging himself through the window -- the episode 8 scenario is going to be SO much more fraught here!!
