When Luo Ziling and Lin Lan forced the thieves to take them to their boss, the so-called boss, who was in charge of this area's thieves, had already been informed of the situation.
In many places, theft was not a scattered act, but an organized behavior.
The thieves were often brazen, committing theft openly, and they weren't afraid even when discovered.
Those who saw their actions and wanted to stand up for justice were often threatened, or even severely beaten by them.
Therefore, many people, upon seeing thieves on the streets, dared not make a fuss or try to stop them, which only emboldened the thieves even more.
The thieves Luo Ziling and Lin Lan encountered were such individuals.
These thieves were much more organized than typical gangs, with clear and meticulous division of roles.
They supported each other during theft operations, coordinating seamlessly; if one was in trouble, others would immediately reinforce.
