The next morning, Lu Yizhou received news from his minions that they had failed to hold Commander Yang Tengfei back. He had expected it, after all the other party was a capable soldier and a protagonist to the boot. He only wished to delay Commander Yang until he managed to successfully infiltrate Zhao Bolin's group and hence, he ordered his minions to retreat.
After the incident today, the remaining eight people were the ones who were depicted in the original plot, meaning that there should be no threat from Zhao Bolin's side anymore. Lu Yizhou was satisfied.
Now was the time to deal with the two protagonists.
Although Li Zhu claimed to believe Lu Yizhou's bullshit yesterday, he could tell that Li Zhu was becoming more suspicious of him for some reason. Lu Yizhou tried to act like usual as he had no idea what had triggered the other's doubt.
