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

During his time in bed, Hao Jianhua constantly relives the experience of being beaten that day.

Although it was a painful memory for him, he still wanted to put an end to it.

Hao Jianhua felt aggrieved if he didn't give those who bullied him a good beating.

"You rascal, didn't I tell you to rest in your room? How did you develop the habit of eavesdropping? Of course, I won't let you suffer, but we just need to wait for the right opportunity."

Lin Beichen scolded Hao Jianhua for a few words, then quickly got up and helped him sit down on the sofa.

Hao Jianhua's cheeks flushed red, while Lin Beichen's expression was serious.

Seeing how serious the two looked, the boss chuckled.

"Don't worry, I've already dealt with that person, and he won't threaten you anymore."

The boss said dismissively.

Lin Beichen and Hao Jianhua both looked at their boss, finding it hard to believe.

This guy can't even keep a woman, I never expected he had such power behind him.

"Are you bragging or are you serious? Give me a hint."

Lin Beichen stared at his boss in disbelief and quickly pressed for answers.

In his opinion, this kid was at most a rich kid.

It's normal to have some powerful backers protecting you, but the gap between you and the local bullies is huge.

"Are you really that bold? Don't try to make me happy by talking nonsense. I'm serious about this, and I don't want to joke with you guys."

Hao Jianhua stared at his boss with a serious expression and revealed his thoughts.

He can overlook other things.

But since this concerned his own life, Hao Jianhua was unwilling to be careless.

No matter how powerful the other party was, Hao Jianhua wanted to meet them personally.

"What kind of talk is that? I own several guesthouses, so I'm a wealthy person. What's wrong with taking action against someone?"

The boss adjusted his glasses and asked the two men a question.

These two guys are seriously underestimating him.

To open a guesthouse in this area, one must naturally have powerful backers.

In this day and age, whether you're in the underworld or the legitimate world, if you don't have anyone backing you up, aren't you just a reckless fool venturing out into the world? That's what's called foolishness.

"No... how much of what you're saying is true and how much is false? Are you really sure you took care of those people? Do you have any video evidence?"

Hao Jianhua tugged at his boss, looking at him expectantly.

Regardless, he still hoped to get relevant clues from his boss.

"Don't brag in front of us. We've known each other well enough to know each other inside and out after all this time."

Lin Beichen couldn't help but move closer to his boss.

Although this guy is tall and strong, he always acts like a simpleton, and doesn't seem like someone who has anything to do with the underworld.

“Look, I was afraid you wouldn’t believe me, but I even recorded a video of me dealing with that guy. Take a look.”

The boss took out his phone and played a pre-recorded video.

"You two are my friends. As the saying goes, brothers will go to great lengths for each other when one is in trouble."

“These guys are bullying you, how could I just sit idly by? Teaching them a lesson is a piece of cake.”

The boss clapped his hands and said nonchalantly.

This is really not a difficult task for the boss.

The reason for all this mysterious fuss today is to take care of Hao Jianhua's feelings.

He could tell that Hao Jianhua had been feeling down lately.

The video played repeatedly, but because Lin Beichen had never seen that person, he couldn't determine whether the person in the video was truly the mastermind.

After reading it several times, Lin Beichen turned his gaze to Hao Jianhua.

Just then, Hao Jianhua suddenly stood up from the sofa.

The movement was too large, causing the wound to tear open.

Hao Jianhua winced in pain, and before Lin Beichen could reach out to help him up, he shouted loudly:
“I recognize this guy! Although I’ve never met him before, I can’t be wrong about that voice—it’s him!”

Hao Jianhua clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on his phone.

Although he was blindfolded when he was beaten, Hao Jianhua remembered the guy's voice giving the order very clearly.

"Good heavens... Just who are you? I suspect this guesthouse is just a cover for you, and you have an even more powerful identity."

Lin Beichen was stunned and quickly turned his inquisitive gaze to his boss.

At this moment, Lin Beichen wished he could expose his boss completely and get to know him all over again.

"Young man, we should be more calm about things. There's no need to make such a big deal out of it."

The boss crossed his legs, put his teacup aside, and looked at Lin Beichen with a smile, just like any other day.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, okay?"

Lin Beichen was extremely anxious and couldn't wait to know the reason, so he shook his boss vigorously, forcing him to tell the truth.

"Uh... to be honest, it's because my family is very wealthy, you know what I mean."

The boss rubbed his fingers together and gestured in front of Lin Beichen.

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round; as long as you throw money at it, nothing else matters.

"No, no, while it's true that you can't do anything without money, sometimes money isn't everything. There must be other reasons."

Lin Beichen raised questions.

They're all people who've ventured out into the world; how could they not understand the rules of survival in society?

Having money certainly brings high status, but dealing with organized crime isn't something that can be solved simply by throwing money at it.

"Oh dear, why don't you understand? My family has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, so that makes sense."

The boss stamped his foot, and his tone became urgent.

This guy's reaction was way too slow today; his brain just wasn't working fast enough.

Hao Jianhua stood up and looked his boss up and down.

This guy was handsome and didn't look like someone connected to the underworld at all.

Those who have been in the corporate world for years usually have sharp and piercing eyes, but this boss clearly looks like a rich kid who's out experiencing life.

"You wouldn't happen to be some young master from a family who's been living away from home, would you? Stop trying to hide it from us and just confess."

Hao Jianhua pressed for more information, at which point he also became somewhat curious about his boss.

The boss felt extremely uncomfortable under the intense gaze.

In order to blend in with everyone these past few days, he deliberately concealed his identity.

Unexpectedly, even now, these two have seen through my scheme. It seems I have no choice but to reveal everything today.

"Since that's your guess, then let's assume it is. My family does have some influence, and in this area, the old man's words carry considerable weight."

"As long as I give the word, the old man can arrange for someone to deal with those blind fools at any time."

The boss said it casually.

He usually doesn't like to talk about his family background, because it's all due to his father's influence and has little to do with him personally.

"Good heavens, we've stumbled upon a formidable character by sheer luck. Speaking of which, with your grandfather being so capable, how did your guesthouse end up being burned down?"

Lin Beichen put his hand on his boss's shoulder and continued asking questions.

With all these things connected, he could hardly believe that his boss had such a powerful background.

"Because I didn't want to follow the path arranged by the old man, I didn't make my relationship with him public." The boss explained, choking back a sob.

His girlfriend left him because she thought he was poor.

If I had known I couldn't keep that woman through my own efforts, I might have been able to salvage the relationship if I had invoked the old man's name.

"That woman is no good. You must be blind to have fallen for her. It's worth it to see someone's true character through this incident."

Lin Beichen offered words of comfort.

The onlookers stared intently at the boss, feeling both shocked and somewhat sorry for the woman.

If that woman could stay with the boss forever and become pregnant with his child, she would surely rise in status and live a life of luxury.

"Alright, let's not dwell on the past. I think Hao Jianhua has recovered enough and can move around freely now. I'll treat you all to dinner as a celebration."

The boss, able to control his tears, forced a smile and led the group of people to a high-end restaurant.

Hao Jianhua had just stepped inside when he pulled his foot back.

The restaurant in front of us is decorated in a magnificent style, and the chandeliers hanging in the air add to its elegance.

This kind of place is probably only for the wealthy. If an ordinary person accidentally goes there, they might not be able to afford the bill even if they spend all their life savings.

"Go in without worry. I have a VIP card here. Order whatever you want."

The boss gave Hao Jianhua a push, and with the help of a waiter, he chose the best seat.

The place was quiet, and the sunlight fell perfectly on the table. Everyone sat around the table, and the boss became the center of attention.

Seeing that none of the guys had ordered anything, the owner waved his hand generously.

"Caviar, hairy crab, king crab, whatever's expensive, we'll serve them the best today."

The owner glanced at the menu casually and rattled off a long list of dishes.

Seeing how familiar he was with ordering food, Lin Beichen finally dispelled his doubts.

Since it was their first time here, everyone was full of curiosity about their surroundings. Hao Jianhua even took out his phone and secretly took a few photos as souvenirs.

When the dishes were served, everyone's mouths watered. Such high-end ingredients are not something you can find in ordinary restaurants.

"Don't stand on ceremony with me, consider this my last meal treating you. After today, it's uncertain whether we'll ever see each other again."

The owner said this while serving food to the group.

"Ok?"

Lin Beichen was puzzled.

The boss's emotions shifted too quickly; one moment he was warmly welcoming guests, and the next he was acting like he was going through a life-or-death ordeal, making it hard to keep up with his pace.

“I have to go back and take over the family business. My father is getting old and his health is not good. If I continue to wander around, I will really become an unfilial grandson in the eyes of others.”

The boss explained.

Seeing how calm this guy was, Lin Beichen and the others all cast envious glances at their boss.

If looks could kill, the boss would probably be riddled with holes by now.

"There's nothing to envy or be jealous of. I don't seek vast wealth; freedom is the most precious thing to me."

"Making friends with you all is a reward from my travels. I hope we'll meet again someday."

The boss wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, put down his knife and fork, and looked up at the group of people.

Lin Beichen was somewhat surprised; life is truly unpredictable. Everyone chatted and laughed with the boss until the end of the farewell banquet, watching him leave.

Watching his boss's retreating figure, Lin Beichen shouted, "Thank you for taking care of us these past few days!"

As the boss's figure receded into the distance, Lin Beichen was momentarily lost in thought.

Just then, Hao Jianhua slapped Lin Beichen, startling him.

“He’s going back to inherit the family fortune, it’s not like he’s going to die. Why are you acting so sad?”

Hao Jianhua put his hand on Lin Beichen's shoulder and leaned his whole body against him, teasing Lin Beichen.

Seeing the kid's carefree attitude, Lin Beichen didn't bother with him and rolled his eyes at him.

"We've been staying at this guesthouse for a while now, and the owner's gone, so it's time to head back. How about we have a good time at a bar before we leave?"

Hao Jianhua made the suggestion, looking at the group with a beaming smile.

These past few days, he's been thinking a lot about the scenes in the bar.

"Come on, drinking will only lead to trouble. Since you're leaving anyway, why cause any more trouble in this city?"

Lin Beichen shook his head and refused.

I was fortunate to have the boss's help when I caused trouble here before.

Now that the boss has left, their protective umbrella has naturally disappeared.

Bars are a mixed bag; going there would not only be expensive, but also potentially risky.

"Seriously? When did you become so boring again? What are you two thinking? We'll go with the majority."

Hao Jianhua looked somewhat disappointed and turned his gaze to Song Xiangdong and Zhao Tian.

These two guys were clueless; it didn't matter whether they went or not.

Seeing that the two did not object, Hao Jianhua no longer held back and forcibly dragged Lin Beichen toward a bustling bar in the city center.

"Today, everything is on me, Young Master Hao. Please drink as much as you like!"

Hao Jianhua put his arm around Lin Beichen, and the group went into the bar together.

Having just left a high-end restaurant, Lin Beichen frowned as he found himself in this noisy place; it was far too chaotic.

"Boss, bring me your best wine."

Hao Jianhua handed over the bank card and shouted at the boss.

During this period, he also saved up a considerable amount of money.

Hao Jianhua brought his three brothers out for a good time today, and he was incredibly generous.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I guarantee everything will be arranged perfectly and perfectly!"

The boss readily agreed, and the four of them were led by a waiter to a spot with the best view.

On the dance floor, alluring and fiery women and young, wild men tangled together, the smell of smoke and alcohol filling the air.

Lin Beichen didn't like these kinds of entertainment venues. He leaned back on the sofa, gently swirling the red wine in his hand, displaying a rather languid demeanor.

Hao Jianhua could no longer contain himself and rushed into the crowd, dancing along with the dancers around him.

Song Xiangdong and Zhao Tian went to the side to play a drinking game.

"You guys better watch yourselves. Even when you're out having fun, you need to know your limits. Don't get carried away."

Seeing the three guys gulping down red wine, Lin Beichen couldn't help but remind them.

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing. What's the point of coming to a bar if you're not dancing and letting loose on the dance floor? Come on over here!"

Hao Jianhua forcibly pulled Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen had no interest in this way of relaxing. He smiled, withdrew his hand, and let Hao Jianhua continue dancing.

The flickering lamplight shone on the woman, making her fair skin particularly striking. Hao Jianhua stood close to the woman, and an ambiguous atmosphere began to rise between them.

Hao Jianhua put his arm around the woman's waist and twirled around her in the dance floor.

Because he had drunk too much, Hao Jianhua was not paying attention to his footing and accidentally bumped into a man.

"Sorry sorry."

Hao Jianhua waved to the man and apologized.

The fat, burly man slammed his glass down, slammed it on the table, and jumped to his feet. (End of Chapter)
