Yeah nope I've got no examples! I'll keep an eye out as I rewatch. Re: Butler Wu, some guy who works for one of the kidnapping victims' families tries to shoot Wu Xiaojun (with, I think, a pistol crossbow, which is just...a fabulously weird detail; possibly civilians can't carry guns but can carry those things? Anyway, digressing) and his dad takes the shot for him. So that's an accidental wounding, sort of, in which Shen Wei didn't independently intervene, sort of...but yeah, since Lao Wu is Dixingren, Shen Wei would've been able to take him away and heal him elsewhere, so that one also isn't conclusive.

I guess my thinking based on those two examples is that he's making these decisions in the moment, and it's not something he has a firm stance on. Yeah, there are times when his need to preserve his secret identity might be the most important factor for him. He's never faced with that choice more clearly than with Zhang Ruonan, as far as I can recall.
