I used to think that it's only a slang in Chinese.

Wolf in sheep's clothing
A wolf in sheep's clothing is someone who is secretly out to harm you, while putting on a friendly face. Jesus first used this phrase to refer to people who teach false religions: "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves."
