At that moment, Lu Yin was sitting aboard a ship headed for the front lines. This war was crucial, and speed was everything. If Wei Rong managed to stabilize the situation, things would get troublesome. Not only might Lu Yin win over the Dark Phoenix Clan, he could also secure support from a number of unexpected sources.
Lu Yin's personal terminal chimed softly. He opened the message, and Amu's voice came through. "Seventh Brother, Wei Rong's asking Ten Thousand Cities for a loan. It's a huge amount."
Lu Yin's gaze shifted. "How do you know?"
"He told Anqi. He didn't bother hiding it from me," Amu replied.
"End the call immediately and delete my contact information. You've been tested. Find a way to protect yourself." Lu Yin cut off the connection as soon as he had finished speaking.
War was all about money. The fact that Wei Rong was borrowing from Ten Thousand Cities meant the Wei Family was running out of funds. If word got out, it would deal a devastating blow to the family. Wei Rong wasn't stupid. There was no way he'd let such information leak. The only possibility was that he'd said it on purpose to see whether Amu was a traitor.
Lu Yin's eagerness to attack the Qianrong Territory had evidently made Wei Rong suspect something. That made sense. Normally, Lu Yin wouldn't rush to move against the Qianrong Territory without first bringing the entire eastern region into the Eastern Frontier Alliance. His behavior was unusual, so it was only natural that Wei Rong would grow suspicious.
The information was definitely false. Lu Yin wouldn't verify it with Ten Thousand Cities; doing so would only confirm that Amu was a traitor. He could only hope Amu would handle the situation himself and avoid being exposed.
