Phillips was right. Cha Yutang was able to sit in the position of Chief Detective of China because he naturally had supporters among the upper echelons of the concession, including many diplomatic personnel from the consulate. Phillips was just a diplomat from the consulate and could not so openly and recklessly take Cha Yutang's life.
Moreover, Cha Yutang only sent people to monitor Phillips. This matter is neither too big nor too small.

Many things cannot be dealt with openly, otherwise no one would benefit.

I arrested his men today, and this can’t be kept secret for long. He will find out soon, and it will be harder to make a move once he has taken precautions.”
"Don't worry, he won't escape our grasp!" Huo Yueze said coldly.
