During his conversation with Shang Gen, Lin Yu had no trouble discovering one thing by probing Shang Gen in return while the latter tested him.
Shang Gen had mistakenly believed that Order wanted to kill him.
And this misunderstanding had definitely not arisen out of thin air. Some kind of "information" must have caused Shang Gen to misinterpret the situation, leading him to this conclusion.
For example, the "Professor" had found him and instructed him that he could kill a candidate of the Player Mutual Aid Society... Information of that sort.
