Lu Yuan was a bit overexcited. He had basically figured out the relationship between Liu Dezhu and Hu Xiaoniu, as well as the sequence of events for the evening.
Thus, he immediately sent his thoughts to Zheng Yuandong: Hu Xiaoniu had first invited Liu Dezhu to make a trade, and during the process of retrieving the gold bars, Liu Dezhu inadvertently encountered the thugs with Kunlun. All four of Hu Xiaoniu's group were time travelers, while Liu Dezhu had already qualified to trade with others.
However, just as Lu Yuan was eagerly waiting for his boss's praise, Zheng Yuandong's reply poured cold water on him, "Your analysis is incorrect."
Lu Yuan was puzzled, "Boss, where did I go wrong?"
"After Hu Xiaoniu made an appointment with Liu Dezhu, instead of waiting at home, he even went to visit a neighbor. Would you go visit your neighbor before making an important transaction?" Zheng Yuandong asked.
