Chapter 169: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 76
Lin Shuangshuang had already sensed it; lately, Liu Ze and Fang Lei have been staring at her in a daze, looking as if they had something to say but didn’t know how to start. Zhang Ling even specifically asked Lin Shuangshuang about her past grievances with these two, and only after confirming they harbored no ill intentions did she set the matter aside.
Liu Ze’s gaze at Lin Shuangshuang was somewhat evasive, with a hint of guilt. Lin Shuangshuang could roughly understand the reasons for Liu Ze and Fang Lei’s behavior. These two were stubborn by nature, and once they believed something, they rarely changed their minds. For instance, in their past life, they were convinced Lin Shuangshuang was not a good person, and even after years of acquaintance, they barely spoke more than three sentences to her.
But these two people had relatively upright views. Lin Shuangshuang didn’t know what Li Man told them last time that made Liu Ze and Fang Lei assist her in stealing Red Jade’s egg.
The goal of stealing Red Jade’s egg was to gain strength. If not forewarned that it could involve loss of life, Liu Ze and Fang Lei might have reluctantly accepted it. The reason Li Man arranged for Liu Ze and Fang Lei to bomb Red Jade’s head rather than attack the group was likely because she knew their morals wouldn’t accept it, and perhaps Li Man hadn’t even told Liu Ze and Fang Lei she planned to kill.
However, in the end, to escape, Li Man abandoned the immobilized Yang Duo and Yang Ziqi, who had helped her, and threw Zhao Yan, disregarding his life, to stop Lin Shuangshuang from chasing her. These were absolutely intolerable to Liu Ze and Fang Lei’s moral standards!
Even without Liu Ze and Fang Lei speaking, Lin Shuangshuang could guess that the two parted ways with Li Man due to irreconcilable views. Their moral compass couldn’t tolerate Li Man’s actions, so they split up.
Next, Liu Ze’s explanation was indeed as Lin Shuangshuang expected. Back then, he and Fang Lei didn’t know Li Man planned to attack Lin Shuangshuang and her group. Li Man had told him and Fang Lei to secretly blow up Red Jade and then steal the egg and flee.
Liu Ze and Fang Lei had no idea Li Man would actively attack Lin Shuangshuang along with Yang Duo and Yang Ziqi, intending to kill. Frankly, Liu Ze and Fang Lei were utterly confused, as it was completely different from Li Man’s original plan.
