Yang Guofa was still trying to make excuses, desperately justifying his actions.
"Honestly, even if I hadn't snitched, I don't think Liu Baoli and the others would have succeeded. Think about it. When he told me about his plan outside, I even asked him, 'Should we bring knives?'"
They had basic defensive weapons for their mountain patrols.
"But Liu Baoli said no, we couldn't use knives. If we hurt someone, we'd be in trouble too. He said we were just trying to capture them, that their crime wasn't a death sentence, and using knives was too dangerous."
"Isn't that stupid? You don't have the guts to be ruthless, but do you know what kind of person Wang Shulin is? He once got in a fight, one against four. He just pinned one guy down and kept beating him. His own head was covered in blood from being hit, but he still beat that guy until he was almost a vegetable."
