After Huo Zilong's downfall, Huo Zilong and his minions were all sent to prison, but Wang Qi, one of Huo Zilong's right-hand men, not only got off scot-free but also inherited a large number of industries left behind by Huo Zilong.
Zhu Bowei was puzzled at the time and even suspected that Wang Qi was colluding with Ye Fan. Later, he specifically conducted an investigation, but he found no evidence.
Now that Ye Fan had suddenly appeared, Zhu Bowei could confirm his previous assumption. The location was temporarily known only to Zhu Bowei's men and Wang Qi. Zhu Bowei's followers were staunchly loyal, having followed him for many years, and they certainly wouldn't leak any information. Therefore, there was only one possibility now: Wang Qi and Ye Fan were in cahoots, and they had dug a trap, just waiting for Zhu Bowei to jump in.
