Superbase Evolution

Chapter 14 A Possibility

Lin Shen had actually thought of this possibility and had been very careful. There were also many mutant guards in the Lin family compound, including alloy-grade ones.

Concubine Bai was still able to come to Lin Shen's room without anyone noticing, and even sit behind him without anyone noticing. This was not something that Lin Shen could avoid by being cautious, as there was a huge real gap in strength.

"Senior Sister Bai took so much trouble to come to me, you wouldn't want to ask me for advice on eating, drinking and having fun, right?" Now that things have come to this, Lin Shen simply speaks frankly.

"I remember Senior Brother Lin said that you are ten years younger than him, so it is appropriate for you to call me Senior Sister." Bai Shenfei nodded slightly and said, "In fact, I had already guessed your identity during the recruitment meeting. The reason why you left later was for another reason. Do you know what it was?"

"I really don't know. I'll have to trouble Senior Sister Bai to explain it to me." Lin Shen's eyes flickered slightly, as if he thought of something, but in the end he said nothing.

Concubine Bai smiled and said, "It's not that you don't know, but you thought about it but didn't say it. It seems that what you said is a little different from what Senior Brother Lin said. It's not just about eating, drinking and having fun."

After a pause, Concubine Bai continued, "The mutant who followed you today is called Lao Ye, right? When Senior Brother Lin was training at the Cape Base, he was the one who took care of Senior Brother Lin's daily life. I have also met him several times."

Lin Shen just looked at Concubine Bai and said nothing. Concubine Bai was right. He had already guessed that the person Concubine Bai wanted to talk about was Lao Ye.

But from Lin Shen's perspective, there are some things he can't say and doesn't want to say.

"There's something wrong with Lao Ye." Princess Bai was shockingly direct.

"What's the problem, Lao Ye?" Lin Shen did not comment, but asked calmly.

"When I mentioned Hulu Mountain, his eyes were strange." said Concubine Bai.

"People say that women's intuition is the most accurate. Senior Sister Bai thinks that there is something wrong with Lao Ye's eyes, so it must be him." Lin Shen said.

"Senior Brother Lin said that you are the most well-behaved and never swear. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do. You don't even use a single swear word when you swear. You really don't need to swear." Bai Shenfei was not angry, but just said calmly: "I will ask you three questions, you can answer them or not. After asking these three questions, if you still think that Lao Ye has no problem, then just take it as my intuition."

"I won't shirk my responsibility if I can answer it," Lin Shen said.

"The first question is, did he persuade you to go to Hulu Mountain?" asked Concubine Bai.

"No." Lin Shen shook his head.

"The second question is, do you think he persuaded you to go to Hulu Mountain?" Princess Bai asked again.

It seemed that the second question was the same as the first one, but Lin Shen hesitated and did not answer it immediately like he did the first question.

Bai Shenfei seemed to have gotten the answer she wanted. Without waiting for Lin Shen's answer, she continued to ask, "Was it his idea for you to pretend to be Senior Brother Lin and attend the recruitment meeting?"

Lin Shen also did not answer this question immediately.

It wasn't that he wanted to hide it, but this question from Concubine Bai brought up some of Lin Shen's previous doubts, causing him to think again about what had happened in the past two days.

After asking the three questions, Concubine Bai had no intention of forcing Lin Shen to answer. She sat on the sofa and looked at him with interest.

Before the recruitment meeting, Lin Shen was preparing measures to deal with emergencies, but that was just in case.

Normally, Lao Ye should help him solve most of the problems, but in fact, what Lao Ye did was much less than Lin Shen expected. This can also be explained by Lao Ye's concerns and unwillingness to deepen the suspicion of the Qi and Wang families.

But later on, Lao Ye did seem to have guided Lin Shen to Hulu Mountain intentionally or unintentionally on several occasions.

Lao Ye is an elder in the Lin family. He had been in the Lin family when the second brother was young, and he had taken care of the fourth brother for so many years. Lin Shen did not want to doubt him, but the current situation of the Lin family forced Lin Shen to think more.

But Lin Shen still couldn’t understand. If Lao Ye wanted him to go to Hulu Mountain, he clearly had the opportunity from the beginning. Why did he go through such a big detour?

"He doesn't know where Hulu Mountain is." As if seeing through Lin Shen's heart, Concubine Bai suddenly said this.

Concubine Bai's words immediately made Lin Shen connect the cause and effect.

If Lao Ye didn't know where Hulu Mountain was, then the person in the Lin family who was most likely to know where Hulu Mountain was could only be Lin Shen.

This makes sense. If Lao Ye really had some plan, he would have gone through such a long detour just to find out whether Lin Shen knew where Hulu Mountain was.

"Senior Sister Bai, what you said are just guesses." Although Lin Shen already had some doubts, he would not deny Lao Ye, who had been through life and death for the Lin family for so many years, just because of a few words from an outsider, Concubine Bai.

"I know where Hulu Mountain is." Concubine Bai didn't say much, but every word seemed to hit the point.

Lin Shen was surprised and looked at Bai Shenfei with some disbelief: "Do you know where Hulu Mountain is?"

If even Lao Ye doesn’t know where Hulu Mountain is, how can Concubine Bai know where Hulu Mountain is?

"Of course I know." Concubine Bai said calmly, "The reason I came to the Xuanniao base is because Senior Brother Lin asked me to do so. If he fails to come back after the recruitment meeting, I will protect you into Hulu Mountain."

"Since Fourth Brother wanted me to go to Hulu Mountain, why didn't he and Third Brother take me directly with them when they went? Instead, they asked you to take me to Hulu Mountain after something happened?" Lin Shen felt that it didn't make sense.

"He didn't take you to Hulu Mountain because he didn't know that you had already undergone a genetic transformation and reached the alloy level. This surprised even me. Senior Brother Lin clearly said that you hadn't undergone a genetic transformation yet." Bai Shenfei stared at Lin Shen with some curiosity and said, "You brothers have been together for so many years, and you have already undergone a genetic transformation to this extent. Someone as smart as Senior Brother Lin actually didn't know anything about it. How did you do it?"

Lin Shen smiled bitterly in his heart. He had not undergone any genetic change at all, so of course Lin Xiangdong could not detect it.

"Senior Sister Bai, why did Fourth Brother ask you to escort me to Hulu Mountain? If it was for the top-quality genetic transformation eggs that would allow me to transform, do you think I still need to go now?" Lin Shen still didn't quite believe in Concubine Bai, and asked tentatively.

"Who told you that Senior Brother Lin went to Hulu Mountain to find you a top-grade genetic mutation egg?" As soon as Bai Shenfei said this, she had already thought of the answer and continued, "If it was Lao Ye who told you, then it is even more certain that there is something wrong with him."

"Didn't Fourth Brother go to Hulu Mountain to find the best genetic mutation eggs for me?" Lin Shen was slightly stunned.

"Of course not. Even if Senior Brother Lin doesn't know that you haven't undergone the transformation yet, he only needs a steel-grade transformation egg to find you one. If it's for a crystal-grade top-quality transformation egg, it's understandable. But for a steel-grade top-quality transformation egg, there's no need to go to a place like Hulu Mountain and risk your life." Concubine Bai said firmly.

"Then why do we have to go to Hulu Mountain? Why do you want me to go to Hulu Mountain?" Lin Shen couldn't suppress his curiosity.

"For a possibility, a possibility that may make you the strongest man under the starry sky." Concubine Bai said slowly, pausing for each word.
