To be honest, when Lin Yi learned from Alice that the mastermind was Ge Qiutian, he was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected that an ordinary wealthy merchant would have connections to a dark force like Mad Fiend. In his view, if it had been one of Lin Lei's dirty tricks, it would have made much more sense, as that post-millennial wealthy heir was obviously impulsive and utterly unscrupulous.
However, this realization made him feel even more justified in his actions. Having previously overheard the conversation between Ge Rulong and Ge Shaojun, he knew neither of them actually wanted to keep targeting him; they had been planning to flee abroad. It was purely because he could not stomach the Ge family's treasonous betrayal of their country that he had ultimately chosen to strike. At the time, he had felt a fleeting moment of remorse—Ge Shaojun, for instance, was somewhat caught in the crossfire. When all was said and done, those misdeeds were committed by his grandfather and his father, whereas Ge Shaojun had merely crossed paths with him personally.
