Lin Shaoqing's sudden appearance caught Alvin completely off guard, and Matt was just as astonished...
In theory, Lin Shaoqing was a villain in Matt's eyes, because his actions were driving Danny Rand toward a dead end.
He'd gone to Osborn Tower to steal the Dragon Bone. If Norman Osborn hadn't owed Danny Rand's father a favor, Danny would have been finished.
