The usage of "which"
Which makes it mysterious how she(Condoleezza Rice) came to serve him(George W. Bush) so badly.
It's not a question, then why put "which" in front of the sentence? What does this sentence mean exactly? Thank you.

Without context I can only guess that which is a relative pronoun in the sentence. Relative clauses usually follow main clauses but they may occasionally be placed at the beginning of a sentence for reasons of style and emphasis. In other words, which refers to something that has been said in the previous sentence.

Actually it's the first sentence of a paragraph. But I think it's possible that which refers to the last sentence of the last paragraph.
Mr Bush was later to describe Ms Rice as "the most powerful woman in the history of the world". /p
