One must not show mercy to such petty thieves.
Su Yunjin had no intention of sparing this petty thief.
Now that the thief was caught, his pitiable plea for mercy did indeed look sad. But had it not been for Young Master Chu, the thief would have stolen her purse and been long gone.
It is said that those who are pitied often have aspects of them that deserve disdain.
The same goes for this thief.
The thief caused himself to fall and injure his hands and feet.
Su Yunjin kicked the thief once more before turning to Young Master Chu to speak.
"I'm troubled by this, but could Young Master Chu please help me take this petty thief to the Governor's Office?" The thief was a grown man, and she, a woman, certainly couldn't restrain him. Moreover, Su Yunjin had injured her leg.
She was incapable of taking the thief to the Governor's Office herself.
