"But upon learning this secret, I realized that no one can aid me. My only recourse is to use a certain method to take down one of them."

Qin Zhenzhen didn't doubt Chen Lin'er; she was merely astonished.

The revelation that the mountain bandits were colluding with the Public House implied that these seemingly ruthless bandits were, in fact, under the control of a powerful government organization.
