When he heard this, he realized that Traceless must have seen through him long ago.
Hence the reason she had turned up had been to show her upper hand.
Back then, he had been recently appointed as team leader to the crime unit.
That was the first time he crossed paths with Qiao Lian.
But that first meeting left a deep impression in him.
Traceless' recklessness put him in a predicament.
Later on, they started crossing paths more often.
There was an important case at the security bureau that required him to acquire an object. And for this, he needed an exceptionally skillful thief.
Inevitably, Traceless came to his mind.
If Traceless were to help them, wouldn't it imply they were recruiting her?
Consequently, wouldn't that mean that all her previous crimes were forgiven?
This would even mean that Traceless could finally face the world with her head held high.
