Although he told himself that Lin Chujiu will not dare to kill, he didn’t dare to risk his life, instead, he let his subordinates come forward.
Although Commander Li did not say anything, his move explains everything. Lin Chujiu couldn’t help but smile and taunt him: "Commander Li is truly a smart person."
