Yuan Zhengqing had no doubt that if it came to that, Ling Xiang would really dare to hit someone, so he said carefully:
"If violence really breaks out, you won't have to do anything. The government will intervene to suppress it. If someone truly plays dumb, I will definitely not allow them to cause trouble. But what if they don't resort to violence, but resort to legal means?"
