In this world, Wu Jinhai hated traitors the most. He still remembered how Bai Chen was betrayed by his trusted servant several months ago. The old servant had been with Bai Chen for many years, but that didn't stop him from hurting Bai Chen from behind.
It could be said that Ma Qiao did not harm Bai Chen physically, but the old man had hurt Bai Chen's heart for many years. The old man he trusted turned out to be the one who killed his mother and almost killed his father, so of course, Bai Chen was very hurt by that fact when that incident happened.
A traitor had hurt his lover, and that was why Wu Jinhai hated the word "betrayal" so much. Unfortunately, he now faced the possibility of encountering another traitor, and that traitor had been hiding within the Xinyang Imperial Palace all this time.
