"Don't act rashly. If he wants someone to protect him, let them stay. We don't need that many people for our operation," Chen Yang said, holding Tan Jing's hand.
Chen Yang disliked the man but remained rational and clear-headed, not letting personal feelings get in the way.
"But Chen Yang, there are at least five criminals. We definitely need these people," Tan Jing said.
"You don't need to worry about that. Leave it to me and leave the people with him," Chen Yang said directly without much explanation.
Tan Jing hesitated for a second or two but eventually agreed with Chen Yang's proposal and left two people with him.
"Alright."
Tan Jing nodded and went to make the arrangements.
Originally, there were seven or eight people who came up; Tan Jing left four with him to protect him.
The others followed Chen Yang and Wangcai, continuing deeper into the mountains.
Without that man weighing them down, Chen Yang and the others moved much faster.
