Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

He thought his tone was calm enough, but he didn't expect the other party to treat him like a pushover.

"Well, please be patient while we wait," the manager said dismissively.

"Wait patiently? Wait for what? Wait until when?" Chen Jiale couldn't help but get annoyed.

It was clearly a problem with the hotel itself, but the manager's passive attitude was really unpleasant, and his expression towards them was getting worse and worse, as if they were the ones deliberately picking a fight.

The manager helplessly spread his hands: "That depends on how our work progresses. The video recording is gone, and there's nothing I can do about it."

The way he acted made it seem as if they were being unreasonable and disrupting the work.

This completely enraged Chen Jiale.

He shouted recklessly, "So, you're saying you never intended to help us solve this, right?"

The manager immediately retorted, "Please don't say that. It's not that we don't want to solve it, it's just that this problem really can't be solved right now."

"So you're not going to resolve this?" Lin Beichen asked.

His tone was even harsher than the manager's, making the other person feel as if they had been slapped in the face.

Speechless after being questioned by the two, the manager resorted to shamelessness: "Don't try to cause trouble here. I've seen plenty of guests like you trying to evade their room fees."

Lin Beichen and Chen Jiale's faces darkened completely; they never expected to encounter something like this again.

Seeing that the two didn't move, the manager urged again, "If there's nothing else, hurry up and leave. Don't wait until I make things clear and it makes everyone look bad."

The manager's words became increasingly absurd, twisting a perfectly innocent matter into something entirely wrong.

Lin Beichen grew increasingly angry as he listened to his expression.

He unconsciously clenched his fists, but reason reminded him that he couldn't act yet.

However, Chen Jiale couldn't take it anymore.

He rushed forward, giving the other person no chance to react, and shoved him hard, angrily saying, "Say that again if you dare! Believe me, I'll sue you for defamation!"

The angrier Chen Jiale became, the more agitated the manager became, and he started acting out: "Go ahead and sue! You know what you did, don't make things difficult for yourself later."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiale was about to throw a punch.

The manager shrank back in fear, but the fist did not land on him.

Instead, he was intercepted by Lin Beichen in mid-air.

Chen Jiale looked at Lin Beichen, his eyes full of confusion: "Instructor, he..."

Lin Beichen glanced at Chen Jiale and said indifferently, "It's not worth getting angry with this kind of person."

He turned to the terrified manager and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Go and restore the surveillance footage to clear our name."

"You think I'll just get my name back just because you tell me to? You think I'm innocent just because you say so? Why should I believe you? I'm not going today, what can you do about it?" the manager said, shaking his head.

That kind of behavior is exactly like that of a thug.

Seeing his reaction, Chen Jiale's eyes blazed with fury.

He struggled and said angrily to Lin Beichen, "Instructor, they've already said so much, are we still going to put up with this?"

But Lin Beichen didn't let go; instead, he pulled Chen Jiale behind him.

He walked up to the manager and said, word by word, "If you don't check the surveillance footage, I'll make a scene, and then nobody will have an easy time."

The other person wasn't intimidated by Lin Beichen; instead, they gave him a mocking glance: "Oh, trying to cause trouble?"

The manager even crossed his arms, adopting a spectator's stance: "Why don't you let everyone see how you're going to make this a big deal?"

He seemed certain that Lin Beichen wouldn't dare to cause any real trouble.

Moreover, he was convinced that Lin Beichen was the kind of person who would throw away all his dignity just to freeload off someone.

But Lin Beichen's next move took him by surprise.

The other person's expression darkened, and he suddenly took a step closer to him.

The manager reflexively stepped back, pointing at Lin Beichen in a panic, and said, "You... what do you want to do? Let me tell you, this is a society governed by law, and hitting someone is a crime!"

Lin Beichen ignored him and continued forward.

The manager panicked even more and said, "If I get hurt, you won't have an easy time either!"

Lin Beichen remained silent and continued walking.

As he walked, he reached into his pocket and rummaged around for something.

Seeing Lin Beichen's actions, the man was terrified and stammered, "What...what are you going to do? If you keep this up, I'll call security!"

Just as he was about to call for help, Lin Beichen took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to the other person.

The manager frowned and cautiously approached, only to see Lin Beichen's photo pasted on the notebook.

He immediately cowered, his previous arrogance vanishing completely. He instantly tucked his tail between his legs and said ingratiatingly, "I'm so sorry! I was blind and caused you trouble. I'm so sorry!"

Seeing his arrogant yet obsequious demeanor, Lin Beichen coldly retracted his identification and snorted, "Then tell me, how should this matter be handled now?"

"Whatever you say, we'll do it! Or... should we call the police?" the manager said in a trembling voice.

His voice is still trembling slightly.

The manager simply couldn't imagine that, given Lin Beichen's status, if Chen Jiale had actually landed that punch, his teeth would probably be gone.

As he thought about it, he subconsciously touched his teeth and was extremely grateful that they were still firmly attached to his gums.

Lin Beichen was not satisfied with this answer and stepped back half a step, seemingly unwilling to get involved in the matter any further.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jiale immediately stepped forward and said sarcastically, "Manager, I remember you weren't talking to us like that just now. Aren't we scoundrels? Why are you calling the police instead? Isn't this just what we want?"

Upon hearing his words, the manager's face immediately burned with embarrassment. He wished he could disappear into the ground, but he had no choice but to maintain his composure and apologize while speaking softly, "Sir, please don't mention it again. I was blind just now and didn't recognize you two. Now I understand. Please be magnanimous and don't hold this against me anymore."

"In that case, call the police immediately to find out what happened." Chen Jiale had no time to waste.

He didn't want to waste any more words with the other party, so he simply said it.

Upon hearing this, the other party immediately took out their phone and dialed the police station's number.

He recounted the entire sequence of events as Lin Beichen had instructed.

After the police learned what had happened, they said they would investigate the matter, and the two, having nothing else to do, returned to their residence.

This outcome was different from what Lin Beichen had expected, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat annoyed.

Carlos Chan was particularly concerned about this matter and cooperated fully with the police investigation.

He was hoping to find some clues, but Lin Beichen pulled him back.

Lin Beichen remained silent throughout the journey, and Chen Jiale felt quite uneasy.

He followed Lin Beichen into the room, his expression also looking rather unpleasant. He had just stepped one foot inside when he immediately turned back.

Chen Jiale looked at Lin Beichen's slightly strange actions and asked in confusion, "Instructor, what's wrong with you?"

However, the other party did not reply.

Instead, he first looked carefully at both sides of the corridor to make sure no one was there before gently closing the door.

Seeing his wariness, Chen Jiale felt it was making a mountain out of a molehill and said dismissively, "Instructor, there's no need to be so nervous. With our skills, who can just come in? Even if they did, they might not come out unscathed."

Look at Chen Jiale's fearless demeanor, as if he's ready to make sure the other party never leaves alive if they dare to come.

Whether Chen Jiale was too confident in himself or too trusting of Lin Beichen's abilities, underestimating his opponent like this would inevitably lead to trouble sooner or later.

Lin Beichen shook his head helplessly and said disapprovingly, "Our current task is quite important. Hao Jianhua is still missing. What if something goes wrong between us?"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Jiale interrupted, saying, "Instructor, what could possibly go wrong? You're just being too cautious."

Lin Beichen had no patience to explain. He walked straight up to him and solemnly commanded, "You must be extra careful, and don't trust anyone here easily."

Seeing his serious expression, Chen Jiale subconsciously nodded, no longer daring to be careless.

Seeing him like this, Lin Beichen was about to discuss with him the matter of reviewing the surveillance footage.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.

The two turned around at the same time and saw a stranger's face.

The moment the six gazes collided, the man's face turned deathly pale, as if someone had stumbled upon some earth-shattering secret, and he turned and ran.

Carlos Chan reacted quickly, rushing forward and shouting as he chased after him, "Who are you? Stop right there!"

It would have been better if he hadn't shouted; the shout made the other person run even faster.

Carlos Chan pursued them relentlessly.

They chased them from the seventh floor of their building down to the first floor before finally catching them.

The other person struggled desperately, but Chen Jiale twisted his arm behind his back.

As soon as the man twisted slightly, Chen Jiale increased the force.

Chen Jiale's hands were like two iron clamps, gripping his wrists tightly, as if they could crush his bones.

The other person grimaced in pain, but stubbornly refused to utter a sound.

Seeing this, Chen Jiale tightened his grip even more, and even deliberately shouted, "Go ahead and move! Try moving again and I'll break your bones!"

Hearing Chen Jiale's words, the other party seemed genuinely frightened and indeed became more obedient.

Just then, Lin Beichen arrived. Staring at the strange man in front of him, he asked, "Who exactly are you? How did you get into our room? Where did you get the key?"

Lin Beichen's questioning seemed to have no effect on the other person.

He just glared fiercely at Lin Beichen without saying a word.

The manager happened to be patrolling the second floor when he heard the commotion and rushed over.

Upon seeing Lin Beichen and Chen Jiale, he instinctively wanted to hide, but since the two had already spotted him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and approach them.

Looking at the man who was being restrained, and seeing the veins bulging on his forehead, the manager knew that he was in great pain. He subconsciously pursed his lips.

Then he spoke up, "Gentlemen, what's going on? Did this person steal something from you, or what?"

When Lin Beichen saw that it was him, he reluctantly replied, "This matter should be asked of him personally. Besides, the incident happened in your hotel, so it should be you who asks him."

Upon hearing this, the manager's lips twitched slightly, but he ultimately said nothing more.

He turned to Lin Beichen, who was standing to the side, for help.

Lin Beichen, considering that his attitude was acceptable this time, took a moment of kindness and explained, "This person suddenly barged into our room, so we caught him to find out what he was doing here."

Upon hearing such a thing, a normal person's first reaction would be to ask Lin Beichen and the others if they were alright.

Upon hearing this, the manager became so agitated that he jumped up and down, accusing Lin Beichen without even asking what happened: "You're wrong about that! Let him go right now!"

Upon hearing this, Chan Ka-lok's expression turned as if he had been struck by lightning.

He subconsciously loosened his grip, and the stranger who had been grabbed immediately felt the force lessen.

The man managed to struggle for a moment, and Chen Jiale, seeing this, kicked him in the back of the knee, causing the man to fall to his knees with a thud.

The manager screamed in fright.

This incident attracted even more attention.

Chen Jiale and Lin Beichen showed no intention of releasing the man; instead, they stared at the manager as if demanding an explanation.

The manager, feeling helpless under their gazes, could only say, "Why are you all staring at me like that? It's clearly your fault for not locking the door properly, which is why they were able to get in."

The two remained silent, but the manager grew impatient and raised his voice: "You should just ask him directly. What's the point of grabbing him like this? Maybe he just went into the wrong room."

Even knowing Lin Beichen's identity, he still chose to protect his own brand first when it came to the hotel's reputation.

Seeing his attitude, Chen Jiale became furious. He shoved the manager and shouted, "Is this what a manager should do?"

He had a very loud voice, which could be heard clearly by all the guests on the second floor.

People had already noticed the commotion, and Chen Jiale's shout drew even more people over.

As the crowd of onlookers grew larger, the manager's heart sank.

His intention to protect the hotel's reputation seems to be out of the question.

In a moment of desperation, he quickly grabbed Chen Jiale's arm and pleaded, "Please, stop shouting, okay? Let's settle this privately. Even if it's really his fault, you shouldn't be making such a fuss."

Carlos Chan then explained to everyone, "This person inexplicably entered our room! And we definitely locked the door. He just used the key to open the door and went in. We stopped him to ask him what happened, was that wrong?"

After saying that, Chen Jiale turned to the manager, whose face had turned ashen, and continued, "As the hotel manager, not only do you not help us investigate this matter, but you also blame us for arresting people. Everyone, please tell me, is this reasonable?"

Lin Beichen, who had remained silent until now, chimed in, "If this is how the hotel handles things, I doubt everyone's safety is guaranteed, so..."

Before Lin Beichen could finish speaking, the onlookers were already buzzing with discussion.

The manager panicked completely, and listening to the whispers of the crowd only made him more confused.

Left with no other choice, he turned to the crowd and patiently explained, "Everyone, listen to me, this isn't how it is. It's just a misunderstanding. I will definitely investigate this thoroughly. Please go back to your rooms, okay?"

But these people, having finally stumbled upon such a lively scene, were not about to leave easily.

They all wanted to know what the person who broke into Lin Beichen's room wanted to do.

Upon hearing the manager's words, Lin Beichen added fuel to the fire, saying, "This is your job, you should have done it a long time ago." (End of Chapter)
