Sisi originally wanted to talk to Mu Xiulan in private, asking her to persuade Boss Qiao to retire from the Jianghu, but Tian Xinhua talked her out of it.
"Mom should really not get involved in gang affairs. Even if she did go to talk, it would be of no use. Uncle Qiao is not going to retire. And even if he wanted to, he couldn't just step down."
"Why not? I've read in novels that those gang leaders eventually clean up their act and have very peaceful lives. Why can't Uncle Qiao step down?" Sisi didn't understand.
"Novels are just novels after all, reality isn't that simple. Being in the Jianghu is being beyond one's own control. Uncle Qiao has so many brothers under him, he has to consider them. Moreover, Uncle Qiao has quite a few enemies in the Jianghu, it's better for him to stay. His status as the boss of the Yaoxing Gang is also a protection for him, the benefits outweigh the risks," Tian Xinhua explained.
