Things seemed to be a little different from what Ye Yuzhen had imagined. She had thought Lin Shen had come to Asgod Base to seek the Lu Family's help in dealing with the Xu Family.
Now, it seemed that was not the case at all. Xu Tiange's various actions left Ye Yuzhen utterly unable to understand.
He had clearly intercepted the Lin Family's caravan and captured Lin Shen's Eldest Sister. How could he be so friendly toward Lin Shen, to the point of seeming deliberately eager to please him?
It made Ye Yuzhen suspect that the intelligence she had received was wrong—that the Xu Family had never hijacked the Lin Family's caravan, and that not only was there no enmity between the two families, they might even be close friends.
Of course, Ye Yuzhen knew that was impossible. The intelligence could not have been wrong.
