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

The owner was about fifty years old, and his face was dark from years of running the barbecue stall.

At this moment, he looked at the young men in front of him with a mournful face and said in a flattering tone, "Young men, I really didn't mean to extort you. You really didn't pay. Look, there's no record of it here."

But the man wasn't having it. He grabbed a bottle, stood up abruptly, and brazenly pressed the bottle against the shop owner's shoulder, saying, "What do you mean? I clearly paid! Are you trying to scam me?"

Anyone with eyes can see who is right and who is wrong. Seeing the boss looking around helplessly, with no one willing to speak up for him, is truly disheartening.

Lin Beichen moved his feet, but before he even got close to the barbecue stall owner—

The guesthouse owner, who was quite drunk, staggered to his feet and walked unsteadily to the group of people.

He pointed at the young men and scolded them, "You look all respectable, why are you trying to renege on other people's debts? Have you no shame?"

Before the men could even retort, the boss, without a second thought, picked up his beer bottle and smashed it at their feet.

Startled, the men took a step back and cursed, "Are you fucking crazy? You're drunk and causing trouble, get the hell out of my way and don't get in my way!"

The boss poked the other man's shoulder with his finger and said with utter disdain, "Oh my, you're my father? Whose father are you? I'm your father, you son of a bitch!"

Before the man could react, the boss punched him in the face.

The other people who hadn't stood up were completely stunned by what they saw.

The man who was being beaten screamed at the top of his lungs, "Are you all fucking dead? Can't you see I'm being beaten? Get him!"

Upon hearing this, the men all grabbed beer bottles.

But they didn't dare actually throw it at people, for fear of causing trouble; they were just putting on a show.

Drunk and disregarding everything else, Chen Jiale saw someone bullying the boss and immediately kicked him across the room.

They kicked the other person to the ground. They had initially hesitated about whether to make a move.

But Chen Jiale was too arrogant, and they couldn't swallow their anger. The group surrounded the boss and Chen Jiale, and the scene immediately descended into chaos.

Lin Beichen's face darkened even more.

He was really annoyed by this group of people, but he still forced himself to walk into the crowd and pull the boss out.

By this time, the drunk boss was completely out of his mind and couldn't even recognize people.

He will make trouble for anyone who gets in the way of his fighting.

Sure enough, he swung his hand and punched Lin Beichen in the stomach.

Although the punch had no effect on Lin Beichen, it did indeed anger him.

Feeling the pressure emanating from Lin Beichen, the boss finally managed to look up, forcing a smile that lacked any sincerity, and said, "Sorry, it's you. I didn't see you clearly... Did I hurt you?"

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Lin Beichen's stomach, but fortunately Lin Beichen dodged in time.

Taking advantage of the boss's inattention, Lin Beichen delivered a karate chop to the back of his neck.

The boss, who had been full of energy just moments before, seemed to be put on pause after being hit, turning his head slowly.

He slowly opened his mouth as if to speak, but before he could utter a sound, he fainted.

"Xu Wei," Lin Beichen called out.

Just then, Xu Wei, who was being harassed by others, heard Lin Beichen call him and finally managed to break free.

"What's wrong, Instructor? Is something the matter?" Xu Wei asked, puzzled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Beichen disgustedly pushed the unconscious boss onto him and ordered, "Help him up."

Xu Wei quickly reached out to catch his boss, somewhat confused: "This...is he alright?"

But Lin Beichen did not answer and continued walking forward on his own.

Chen Jiale, who was chatting enthusiastically with someone, was grabbed by the back of his collar by Lin Beichen like a chick and forcibly pulled back.

Carlos Chan frowned, his face contorted with anger, about to unleash a torrent of abuse—

Seeing that it was Lin Beichen, he forced a smile and said respectfully, "Instructor, what do you mean by this? I, I haven't..."

"Go back now," Lin Beichen said coldly.

Chen Jiale immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word. Only then did Lin Beichen release his collar.

He was somewhat resentful, and before leaving, he spat at the group and said angrily, "You're lucky today, but you won't be so lucky next time!"

Those who had been knocked to the ground slowly got up.

Seeing that Lin Beichen intended to take the boss away, they all stepped forward, spreading their arms to block his way, and arrogantly said, "What do you mean? What do you mean? You think you can just leave after hitting someone? You have to apologize to us today!"

Seeing that Lin Beichen remained silent, the group of thugs continued their blatant bullying: "If you don't apologize, none of you are leaving! Do you know who we are?"

Hearing this, Chen Jiale was somewhat unconvinced.

But the man looked up and glared at him, saying unwillingly, "What are you looking at? You started it, you have to apologize!"

Those people clung to them like glue, and Lin Beichen was thoroughly annoyed.

Lin Beichen kicked the person blocking his way away.

The other person was lying on the ground and didn't even have time to cry out in pain.

Seeing Lin Beichen's fierce appearance, he shrank back in fear, but still managed to shout, "Fine, you guys are amazing! I'll tell my brothers when I get back!"

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, the boss, who had been fast asleep in bed, finally showed signs of waking up.

Chen Jiale had been waiting here for several hours. Seeing that he remained motionless, he couldn't help but worry and said, "Could he be suffering from alcohol poisoning? Why hasn't he woken up after sleeping for so long? Should we take him to the hospital?"

Xu Wei, standing next to him, couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and said irritably, "Are you stupid? Who would fall asleep like this after being poisoned by alcohol?"

Whether it was the glaring midday sun or the noise of the two talking disturbing him, the boss suddenly moved.

The two immediately shut their mouths and stared at him nervously.

The guesthouse owner, his brow furrowed, slowly opened his eyes, feeling a throbbing headache as if his head was about to explode.

At this moment, Xu Wei and Chen Jiale stared at him as if he were a rare animal.

Xu Wei spoke slowly, "Awake? Do you remember what good deeds you did yesterday?"

"Huh?" The boss looked bewildered.

He clutched his throbbing head, looking at them in bewilderment. Clearly, he had completely forgotten what happened last night. But no matter, the two beside him remembered it all perfectly well.

Carlos Chan vividly recounted the events of last night.

"Let me tell you, you were absolutely stunning last night!" Chen Jiale said excitedly.

A sense of foreboding washed over the boss, but before he could stop him, Chen Jiale continued, "You're too fierce! Before anyone could even speak, you'd already punched them in the face. Do you know what's most impressive? You even punched our instructor! That tells you how amazing you are!"

He got more and more excited as he spoke, as if he wanted to recreate the scene exactly.

The boss blushed with embarrassment and wished he could disappear into the ground.

He interrupted awkwardly, "Um... can you stop talking? I really don't remember anything from yesterday."

Chen Jiale then wisely shut his mouth, staring at the boss with an expression of anticipation. The boss had no choice but to bite the bullet and slowly move in front of Lin Beichen, saying awkwardly, "Um... I'm really sorry, I really didn't know what happened yesterday... I apologize to you."

Lin Beichen neither said he would forgive nor he would forgive; he simply remained silent with a cold expression, which made the boss even more embarrassed.

He scratched his head and thought for a long time before finally smiling apologetically and saying, "How about... I treat you to a big meal to express my apology?" Lin Beichen still had that poker face.

The boss immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at his expression, and even more afraid that Lin Beichen would directly reject him.

To everyone's surprise, the expected rejection did not come, nor did the anticipated anger.

Lin Beichen simply shook his head and said calmly, "Let's skip the restaurant and just have something simple. We have a very important mission here."

Actually, Lin Beichen only thought of revealing the search for Hao Jianhua to him after witnessing the bar owner's behavior last night—maybe through his connections, he could find out Hao Jianhua's whereabouts.

The boss excitedly raised his head, but the movement was too abrupt, and a severe headache struck again.

He gasped, and after a moment, asked curiously, "What do you mean? Do you have something important to do? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Xu Wei considerately helped the boss sit down.

The boss kept his eyes fixed on Lin Beichen, eager to know what important task had left these three people at a loss.

Lin Beichen then slowly began to speak: "It's like this, we have a friend who has gone missing, and we are very worried about him. So we would like to ask you... to use your connections to help us find him."

This was the first time he had ever asked someone for a favor, especially since the other person was someone he had only known for a short time, so his words inevitably came out a bit awkward.

Upon hearing this, the boss nodded without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, your friend is my friend! I will definitely help you find him!"

Lin Beichen nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Under the watchful eyes of several people, the boss slowly took out his phone and dialed a number.

A moment later, a clear, cool, and slightly magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing this, the boss immediately beamed with joy: "Hey Lao Huang, how have you been lately?"

After a few brief pleasantries, the boss got down to business.

Xu Wei and Chen Jiale stared at him nervously, trying to hear what they were saying.

The call ended shortly after.

But the boss's expression showed no joy; instead, it grew increasingly somber.

Seeing his expression, Xu Wei and Chen Jiale already knew pretty much what was going on, but they still asked, unwilling to give up, "How is it? What did your friend say? Do you have any news about him?"

The two men surrounded the boss from both sides, giving him almost no chance to breathe.

Seeing how anxious they were, the boss nodded reluctantly after they finished speaking.

"Found it?" Chen Jiale asked in surprise.

Judging from the boss's expression, he didn't look like he had found the person at all.

The boss nodded again, but then sighed. Seeing his hesitant and reluctant manner, Xu Wei and Chen Jiale grew impatient and finally shouted, "What happened? Just tell us already!"

The boss looked up, glancing at the two with a hint of pity, but still didn't reveal the truth. He simply offered a cautious reminder: "It's hard to say right now... I'll take you to him."

“But…” Xu Wei hesitated.

He didn't know whether he should go to Hao Jianhua.

Lin Beichen stood up immediately: "Let's go there now."

But the boss's expression suddenly turned serious, and he even became hesitant in his speech: "Um... you can come with me, but no matter what you see later, you must stay calm."

"Okay." Lin Beichen agreed immediately, as if he already knew what was going to happen next.

The group quickly followed the boss out the door.

They got into the boss's car, drove through unfamiliar streets and alleys, and finally turned into a hutong (alleyway) and stopped.

A sense of foreboding crossed Lin Beichen's mind, but he suppressed it.

Although the boss didn't appear flustered on the surface, his steps were somewhat unsteady. Lin Beichen became even more certain—something must have happened to Hao Jianhua.

As soon as he entered the alley, before even stepping into the courtyard, Xu Wei caught a glimpse of a figure huddled in the corner.

He pointed over there, shouting nervously and excitedly, "Look! Doesn't that person look like Hao Jianhua?"

Before anyone could answer, Xu Wei had already rushed over.

When he ran up to him, he confirmed that the person was indeed Hao Jianhua.

Hao Jianhua was covered in blood. Old wounds hadn't scabbed over, and new wounds were still bleeding. His face was so dirty that his original skin color was unrecognizable, and it was covered with many large and small scars.

Xu Wei stood frozen in place, unsure whether to move forward or backward.

Lin Beichen was the first to react, helping Hao Jianhua up and shouting, "Quickly bring the car over! Take him to the hospital!"

The others were startled awake by the roar.

The boss quickly ran to get the car, while Xu Wei and Chen Jiale helped Lin Beichen lift Hao Jianhua.

"Hao Jianhua, can you hear me? If you can, move around a bit," Chen Jiale asked worriedly.

The other person merely twitched their eyelashes slightly.

Carlos Chan exclaimed with delight, "It moved! It moved!"

Seeing this, the three of them finally felt relieved.

But after that, Hao Jianhua completely lost consciousness.

The group rushed him to the hospital for treatment.

The moment the operating light came on, Lin Beichen's heart jumped.

The other three stayed by his side, not daring to say a word.

Time passed by, second by second.

Every minute and every second is stretched out and slowed down infinitely.

"Instructor, I'm worried... what if he really has something going on?" Xu Wei asked nervously.

After all, when Hao Jianhua was brought here, his vital signs were very weak.

"No, it won't happen," Lin Beichen said firmly.

He himself was not clear about the situation inside, but he knew that he must not panic at this time and had to keep everyone calm.

Hearing Lin Beichen's words, Xu Wei felt reassured and obediently waited at the door.

Finally, the operating light turned from red to green.

Lin Beichen was the first to rush forward.

He grabbed the doctor's arm tightly and asked anxiously, "How is he?"

Even with a thousand questions to ask, I can only squeeze out this simple sentence at this moment.

The doctor slowly removed his mask and calmly said, "Don't worry, he's fine. He just needs to be observed for the next few days."

"Can we go see him now?" Xu Wei asked. (End of Chapter)
