"Su Lin?"
Su Lin's appearance had undoubtedly caught Ye Shanshan off guard. "Why are you here?"
There was no way to explain this!
If it had only been personnel from the Long Saber Party left behind to guard the place, that would have been perfectly reasonable—who went to war without leaving anyone to watch the house? That would be practically inviting someone to stab them in their own nest.
Considering they had recently upgraded their equipment, and Xie Qingyan had even specifically diverted some armaments that should have gone to Prism to support White Iron, all so they could take it down smoothly.
But Su Lin being here was different. Ye Shanshan simply couldn't believe Xu Shi would send his most capable subordinate to guard the grounds for some Long Saber Party.
Not to mention she had brought people from Serpent Coil with her... Although restricted by the rules on the surface, she had only brought a Type II squad, but that was enough to prove she had come prepared.
That was absurd. What gave her—or rather, what gave Xu Shi—the right to know that White Iron belonged to Chairwoman Xie?
Ye Shanshan knew very well that only Chairwoman Xie and she herself knew about this.
Unless...
She hurriedly looked at Song Ziyou. "Leader Song, was it you?"
"I don't know!"
Song Ziyou was confused too. Hearing Ye Shanshan suspect him, he hurriedly waved his hands to clear himself. "I really don't know anything! Secretary Ye, you have to believe me!"
He didn't seem to be pretending... Ye Shanshan blinked. His expression couldn't have been faked.
That made her instinctively recall those humiliating days spent at Xu Shi's side, but no matter how she thought about it, she was certain she had never revealed a single word to Xu Shi.
