Liaoning Whowin, who started the season by being winless in 10 of their first eleven games, managed to string three consecutive wins from rounds 12 to 14 to climb out of the bottom two spots.
At the moment, the Northeast Tigers are at the 11th place in the overall standings, four points above the demotion zone but is a long 13 points below the top three spots who will earn AFC Championship qualifying berths next season.
Their three-game winning streak was snapped last Saturday by powerhouse team Jiangsu Suning, 3-4, on the road at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre, as per Football Australia.
An own goal by Liaoning keeper Shi Xiaotian opened the scoring at the 10th minute with Ramires doubling the hosts lead with a goal at the 25th off an assist from Alex Teixeira.
Whowin striker Zhang Ye netted one for his side at the 30th but Jiangsu's other import, striker Jô, made it 3-1 just six minutes later.
Two consecutive goals from the visitors, courtesy of Michael Thwaite and James Chamanga, knotted the count at 3-all, but midfielder Ji Xiang found the winner at the 70th to give Ma Lin's boys their first loss in the last four games.
Meanwhile, Shijiazhuang was also defeated in a high-scoring match by Guangzhou R&F, 2-4, at the Yuexiushan Stadium also last Saturday, via Xinhuanet.
Guangzhou's Renatinho broke the deadlock at the 39th before French newcomer Jean-Philippe Mendy equalized it in the 53rd for Yasen Petrov's side.
However, three straight goals for the Blue Lions tore the game apart before Jiang Jihong scored another one for Ever Bright for the final score.
The predicted result is a 2-1 victory for Liaoning Whowin.
