Dai Qiu Shang Lan could be considered an "old friend" of Ye Weiming's. The two had crossed paths more than once or twice. Though they could not be called very familiar, they knew each other fairly well.
How did that saying go again?
The person who understood you best was often neither yourself nor your friends, but your enemy.
As a fair, selfless, and kind Hero Saint of the public authorities, Ye Weiming was broad-minded by nature and naturally had never regarded Dai Qiu Shang Lan as an enemy. But who could guarantee that the other man did not see him as one?

At the very least, they were above Level 7!
