Based on what they knew of Lin Yuelan, even if the soldiers wanted to fight her, they might not be able to win, so how could the normal villagers bully her?
Plus, it sounded like the villagers kicked and punched her until she couldn’t get up. This didn’t seem right.
Furthermore, from the first time they met Lin Yuelan, shehad been moving freely in the deep mountains and wild forests. She was not afraid of those fierce beasts at all. Even the king of beasts had become her mount. How could she not have money and food to eat? This didn’t make any sense.
Lastly, the villagers were clearly afraid of Lin Yuelan. At first, they thought the villagers were afraid of them, but now they understood they were really afraid of Lin Yuelan.
These didn’t add up.
Guo Bing said with a serious expression, “boss, the Lin Yuelan we’re seeing now is not the one that the old lady described. What’s going on?”
Lin Yuelan had saved their lives, but Guo Bing was afraid that…
After all, they met Lin Yuelan for the first time in the mountains. Could things really be that coincidental? If what the old woman said was true, Lin Yuelan was a coward and would never go up the mountain alone.
Guo Bing suspected that Lin Yuelan had been replaced and the Lin Yuelan they met might be a spy from an enemy country. He suspected their first meeting was not a coincidence. It was a scheme arranged by the enemy. The enemy would know the route they took, so they had set up this trap. Then, Lin Yuelan would be able to infiltrate their ranks and break them down from within.
As Jiang Zhennan’s military counselor, it was understandable for Guo Bing to speculate about everything, but…
If Lin Yuelan knew about his guess, she would probably sneer and say disdainfully, ‘You really need to have your brain checked!’
Jiang Zhennan’s sharp eyes under the mask narrowed slightly as he looked in the direction of Da Ao Mountain. He then said coldly, “Guo Bing, please don’t make wild guesses without any evidence. After all, lady Yue ‘Er did save us. That is a fact. We can’t be ungrateful.
“Besides, if Miss Yue ‘Er is our enemy, don’t you think she would have killed us already? Why would she keep us around?”
Guo Bing snapped out of it and patted his head. “Boss is right. I’m just making wild guesses.”
Jiang Zhennan’s sharp eyes stared at Guo Bing. “Make sure this doesn’t happen again!”
Guo Bing quickly raised his hand and nodded. “Of course! There will be no next time! But…” He asked in confusion, “What is going on with this sudden change in Miss Lin then?” The other two soldiers were puzzled too.
Jiang Zhennan said sharply, “Judging from the reactions of the villagers, something must have happened that we don’t know about. We will be living in the Lin family Village for a while. I believe we will know the truth soon.”
Guo Bing and the others nodded in agreement.
…
Lin Yuelan didn’t ask Little Green to monitor Jiang Zhennan and his men before she left, so she had no idea what had happened.
Instead, she looked at the young master who had suddenly appeared to defend her. She had no idea who would dare to come and help her.
Based on the young master’s clothes, he should be a rich young master with some power.
Then, she spotted Lu Qi, who was following behind the young master. Lin Yuelan understood it then.
Liu Qi nodded slightly at Lin Yuelan, and Lin Yuelan also nodded back at him as a form of greeting.
