Indeed, there's no need for evidence!
Xu Xiaoyan deliberated for a while before accepting a fact: based on the current understanding, Yan Xiaofei wants to do something, and he already has the capital that requires no reason, no evidence.
Everyone studied history textbooks and took exams on them. So many wars of invasion, did anyone really seriously find a reason? If they wanted an excuse, they could find one easily; if not, they just went ahead and fought.
Moreover, Yan Fei isn't coming openly, he's just going to stir up some trouble.
Since that's the case, let him go!
As for compassion, it depends on whom it's for.
Besides, Japan hasn't done anything good recently; they buy non-renewable resources at low prices and manufacture various products to sell at high prices. Isn't this a form of plundering?
And besides, Yan Xiaofei isn't causing trouble without a reason. He suspects they're sending people to sabotage and steal!
