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

This is indeed true.

Those present were equally afraid of such a top-tier assassin.

While they despised these assassins, they also feared these venomous snakes lurking in the night.

at the same time.

Lin Beichen was following Lü Guangwei to Kotsubaki's residence in Nara.

To be honest, he didn't want to see Nara Kotsubaki. In the past, he wouldn't have had such concerns. It was mainly because Lü Guangwei's earlier cryptic remarks had given him the creeps.

They said that Nara Tsubaki had special feelings for him.

This sent a chill down Lin Beichen's spine.

He didn't have much interaction with Nara Kotsubaki. The main reason Lin Beichen kept Nara Kotsubaki was because of her cooperative nature, plus her pleasing appearance—which was indeed a factor. People are always more forgiving of beautiful things.

"What's wrong? Are you nervous?"

"He's not going to eat you, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, that girl is quite pretty, even if she really likes you, you won't lose out." Lü Guangwei was actually speaking up for Nara Kotsubaki.

This unusual behavior aroused Lin Beichen's suspicion.

Why is Lü Guangwei so biased towards a Japanese person?
Could it be that he was bribed by the other party with money or beauty?
The thought flashed through Lin Beichen's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. Although they hadn't known each other for long, he was certain that Lü Guangwei wasn't that kind of person. One could roughly judge a person's character from their demeanor.

Moreover, he also knows the art of physiognomy.

Even at their first meeting, Lin Beichen had already determined that Lü Guangwei was a chivalrous and heroic figure. If he had been born in ancient times, he would at least have been a chivalrous hero, or at the very least, a bandit.

"Of course I'm not afraid, but I'm curious why you're so biased towards Nara Tsubaki. If I didn't know better, I'd think she was your illegitimate daughter," Lin Beichen teased, then said seriously, "But it'll be good to meet her. I want to see what she's up to. Is she cooperative with you?"

Lu Guangwei nodded upon hearing this:
"This girl is indeed cooperative and quite efficient."

When Lü Guangwei first met Nara Kotsubaki, he didn't give her a friendly look.

Being good-looking doesn't work on him.

Lu Guangwei wasn't buying it at all.

Beauty could not sway him at all; he valued work ability and efficiency.

What's more, the other party is a Japanese person.

But Nara Kotsubaki's subsequent performance impressed him.

This girl not only has a gentle appearance, but she can also speak fluent Mandarin.

Her appearance was almost identical to that of a Chinese girl, and her work attitude was proactive and positive. If not for prior knowledge, anyone would mistake her for Chinese. During their time working together, Nara Kotsubaki's performance earned everyone's approval.

That's why Lü Guangwei made a point of saying a few good words for her.

He was speaking well of Nara Kotsubaki, and of course, this subtle change went unnoticed even by Lü Guangwei himself and his colleagues.

Please ensure that the revised text meets the above requirements and provide the revised text when submitting.

Everyone else subconsciously overlooked Nara Tsubaki's previous work in biochemical research...

She is, after all, an enemy of China.

Even though that was in the past, it's still hard to completely shake off that identity.

……

“Brother Lin Beichen, I think things might not be as complicated as you think.”

At this moment, Yu Feng stepped forward and spoke.

"Perhaps that girl has her own reasons. What she did in the past was indeed detrimental to China, but recently she has helped us a lot."

"Thanks to her, many Japanese spies have been exposed."

"It can be said that the Japanese spies have been almost completely eliminated from China, and Nara Kotsubaki has identified all the potential agents involved in the biochemical project."

Yu Feng's words made Lin Beichen even more curious.

When did my good brother first come into contact with the other party?

Yu Feng seemed to sense his question and then explained, "I've been relatively free these days, haven't I? That girl wanted to see you, so Lü Guangwei had her come to me first to find out what was going on."

"In short, it seems she has something she wants to tell you in person."

"It wouldn't hurt for you to go and see him."

"It seems you have a good impression of her."

Lin Beichen nodded slightly and did not ask any further questions.

Whatever questions you may have, you'll find out when you meet them.

Lin Beichen was somewhat surprised by Yu Feng and Lü Guangwei's attitudes toward Nara Kotsubaki.

Even if Lü Guangwei hadn't suggested it, Lin Beichen still planned to personally meet with Nara Kotsubaki to see what was really going on. He had a vague worry that these honest people might have been deceived by the other party.

Of course, this possibility is not high.

But it's always good to be cautious.

……

"Nara Tsubaki, I heard that the person you've been wanting to see is finally coming."

"I'm really curious who it is that you're so interested in; everyone's itching to find out."

"Don't be too nervous. Even if you weren't Chinese before, you've made so many contributions to China now that your past mistakes can probably be made up for. If you had really made a big mistake, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to work with us."

Many people around were comforting Nara Tsubaki.

At this moment, her emotions were indeed somewhat fluctuating.

Everyone understands the sensitivity of national and familial hatred, but as they said, if Nara Kotsubaki were truly guilty of heinous crimes, she would never have been assigned to work here.

This is exactly what happened.

Nara Kotsubaki originally had a clerical background.

She has never personally harmed anyone.

Whether she was Chinese or Japanese, she had never stained her hands with blood.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaomei, I feel much better."

"Thank you everyone for your comforting words, I... I'm fine," Nara Kotsubaki said gratefully.

Her Mandarin was even more fluent and standard than some of the people present.

This makes it difficult to regard her as a native of Japan.

In addition, she is very familiar with Chinese history.
They can always keep up with conversations.

This friendly demeanor made everyone accept her quickly. Furthermore, Nara Kotsubaki was usually kind and gentle, often proactively helping out with tasks; her arrival truly lightened everyone's burden. Who wouldn't want to have such a good colleague?
Someone who can help you share the burden of work pressure.
Where can you find such a great partner?

"Don't mention it. We're all colleagues, it's only right that we help each other out."

"Yes, yes, just say it if you're unhappy about something."

"I'll tell you so everyone can have a laugh, hahaha."

"Look at what you're saying."

The atmosphere immediately became relaxed and cheerful.

Nara Kotsubaki's mood also relaxed a lot.

She has fully integrated into her current work environment.

This atmosphere made her feel exceptionally comfortable, far better than when she was forced to conduct biochemical experiments before. If she hadn't been forced by her superiors, she would never have wanted to engage in such inhumane research. Nara Kotsubaki was someone who wouldn't even kill a chicken or duck; how could she possibly willingly do biochemical experiments? It was all due to the circumstances.

In that sense, Lin Beichen was practically a god who saved her from dire straits.

Nara Kotsubaki had always wanted to thank Lin Beichen in person for saving her life.

If Lin Beichen hadn't given her a chance to start anew, she would have been dead long ago. She knew very well the fate of her companions—without exception, they all died at the hands of Lin Beichen and his group.

Nara Kotsubaki never mentioned this matter to Lü Guangwei and the others.

She knew in her heart that if this matter got out, it might have a negative impact on Lin Beichen.

“I didn’t want to do that either, but I really had no other choice. I couldn’t do something against my conscience, but being forced to participate in those things still tormented me; it was like being in hell…”

Yu Feng and Lin Beichen quietly watched Nara Kotsubaki.

None of them interrupted; they simply listened silently. From Nara Kotsubaki's narration, they seemed to see the figure of a pitiful girl who had lost both parents at a young age and grew up relying on government assistance.

Perhaps it is precisely because she possesses a tenacious perseverance in learning,

That's how we achieved what we have today.

"Your appearance gives me a good reason to break free from the shackles of the past."

You gave me a new life.

You are the one who gave me the opportunity to be reborn.

I really enjoy my life now. I've learned a lot about Chinese culture since I was little.
I'm particularly fascinated by Chinese history; I love this land... and I love the atmosphere here.

Nara Kotsubaki's eyes lit up, her gaze fixed intently on Lin Beichen.

The gaze was so intense it almost devoured him.

Lin Beichen couldn't help but swallow, responding somewhat awkwardly:

"I understand, I understand... Actually, I just thought you looked pleasing to the eye and rescued you on a whim, without thinking too much about it." He was unusually incoherent.

The girl in front of me had delicate features and exceptionally pure eyes.

Lin Beichen's panic stemmed from Nara Kotsubaki's overly passionate emotions.

Although she remained outwardly dignified while sitting in the chair,
But the emotion in his eyes was hard to conceal.

Lin Beichen knew that Nara Kotsubaki wanted to repay his kindness.

At the same time, he understood why this girl was able to win everyone's approval—she truly deserved to be accepted.

I want to apologize for my previous doubts about you.

"I once thought you had ulterior motives." Lin Beichen smiled, not hiding his initial suspicions.

Yu Feng, standing to the side, secretly shook his head, thinking: This guy is really a straight man.

Shouldn't you say something nicer at a time like this? Why bring up your previous doubts? Aren't you afraid of upsetting the girl? This kind of girl is clearly a perfect match for you, Lin Beichen.

Yu Feng is just like an old father.
Seeing her "son" so disappointing, she was both anxious and angry.

His lips twitched slightly, feeling both helpless and heartbroken, utterly devastated.

"It's alright, I knew you wouldn't believe me so easily."

“You are decisive and ruthless towards your enemies. If I hadn’t been lucky, I probably would have been dead.” Nara Kotsubaki smiled shyly, a hint of longing in her eyes. Looking at Lin Beichen in front of her, she seemed to recall some pleasant memories.

Perhaps this is what the Chinese often refer to as "the will of Heaven."

Lin Beichen, who killed so many people, spared only himself.

He said he found me pleasing to the eye? Does this mean that the man also has some feelings for me? Even if he had doubts about me, was there ever a moment when he was attracted to me?
And she herself was indeed moved by this man.

Nara Kotsubaki was deeply impressed upon their first meeting.

Lin Beichen's unique charisma captivated her.

This has nothing to do with appearance—even the most beautiful person only has two eyes and a nose. What matters is the inexplicable connection between people.

Perhaps it could be called a "magnetic field".

An existence that is invisible and intangible, yet can be clearly perceived by some people.

"Hmm, what are your plans for the future?"

“I still want to continue working here. After I have atoneed for my sins, I hope to come back to you…”

"Oh, that's how it is."

"Have you said everything you wanted to say? If so, I'll take my leave now."

"Then... could I have your contact information...?"

Lin Beichen's response was rather direct and straightforward.

Nara Kotsubaki, however, did not feel any discomfort.

She was already very content to be able to talk to him like this.

Yu Feng, standing to the side, sighed repeatedly, rubbing his forehead, clearly dissatisfied with Lin Beichen's performance.

The girl is being so proactive, can't you just cooperate a little?
Couldn't it have been just a little bit more humane?

Everyone says you are her savior.

It was the light that gave her new life.

Can't you show some composure?
Why are you acting like you're missing a screw, all indifferent? It's driving me crazy!

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to contact me. I'll do my best to help if I can," Lin Beichen said calmly. After this brief time together, he had come to accept Nara Kotsubaki. This girl might indeed harbor some kind of longing for him.

But in his opinion, this was probably just the little girl overthinking things.

I was just helping him out of the goodwill; he was just lucky...

Perhaps kind people always exude a special aura.

Lin Beichen was attracted by the subtle yet captivating charm that Nara Kotsubaki possessed.

That's why Lin Beichen decided to spare his life.

"Okay, then...see you another day."

Nara Kotsubaki was so excited that she even stuttered slightly when she spoke.

He was overjoyed at the meeting.

Thinking that there would be opportunities to meet again in the future, Nara Kotsubaki felt that life was full of hope.

"This...this is it? I don't understand. Why is that girl still so happy?" Yu Feng was dumbfounded. The situation was completely beyond his expectations. Lin Beichen's performance had actually won the girl's heart, which was completely different from his past dating experience.

Based on Yu Feng's experience of all three relationships failing,
At this point, one should say more sweet words.

Unfortunately, Yu Feng, a true straight man, doesn't understand what real liking someone means at all.

True love never involves calculating these things.

Both its advantages and disadvantages can be fully accepted.

To someone you're attracted to, even flaws can become virtues. Just like how Nara Kotsubaki feels about Lin Beichen now; no matter how direct Lin Beichen is, she still thinks he's exceptionally good.

He remembered every word Lin Beichen said.

Even Lin Beichen's voice sounded like heavenly music to him.

Although their time together was so short, he was already very satisfied; it was a great start. He secretly resolved never to disturb Lin Beichen easily, much less to interfere with the important things Lin Beichen was about to do.

The work Lin Beichen does is bound to be dangerous.

I absolutely cannot let him be distracted by me. (End of Chapter)
