Seeing Zhao Guo'an still seemed confused, Xiao Feng added, "Take the acrobatic troupe we encountered earlier, for example. Those people are vicious enough and inhumane enough, right?
But so what?
When those people realized they were likely being watched by the police, they chose to run immediately, even if they were up against someone as seemingly nonthreatening as Lin Jiaxuan, they still didn't choose to confront head-on."
Zhao Guo'an pondered, "Are you saying that no matter how fierce the rat, it'll still fear the cat?"
"Exactly." Xiao Feng nodded. "It's a natural restraint, like the food chain. No matter how skilled a thief might be, how many have you seen stealing from a police station?
The same goes for Ninth Master. He knows he's doing something illegal. Although he donated all his wealth and turned over a new leaf, that doesn't mean he doesn't care about everything, or that losing his freedom is no big deal."
