If anyone tried to sully Zu An’s reputation, there were countless people who would be more than willing to step in and end them. In any event, if he had been in the same position as Zu An, he wouldn’t have let the other side go either. Having thought things through, his anger dissipated without a trace, and he murmured, “I understand.”1
