The ominous feeling soon proved correct. Xu Jian listened to Ye Shuang describe the story about his uncle that he did not know about in ten minutes, and he felt like he was listening to some impossible story.

Therefore, she stopped talking and allowed Xu Jian some time to process the information. After the waitress left, she added, "What did your uncle tell you when you first returned to San Lin City?"
"Uncle, he…" Xu Jian hesitated. Regardless of whether Ye Shuang was lying or not, that was ultimately his uncle. There were few people who would willing betray their own family. Many would help their own kin; there was nothing unreasonable about that.
