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

One of the figures looked familiar, but when he saw the person's face clearly, he froze. Wasn't that Xiao Hua? How did Xiao Hua get brought here? Had Xiao Hua been exposed? If that meant his situation was just as precarious.

under these circumstances.

He also wanted to use those incriminating facts to blackmail Yu Feng.

Since Xiaohua is already here.

It is estimated that the relevant evidence has long been erased.

What puzzled him was why Xiao Hua wasn't tied up. This guy seemed to have some freedom of movement. Was it because he had a good personal relationship with Yu Feng? Or was there something else going on?
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you going to talk about him? Try to use my relationship with him to your advantage? If so, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Nothing happened between him and me. I'll tell you the truth now: I've been playing along with you all this time." Yu Feng wasn't going to waste any more time with Zhu Yi.

He laid his cards on the table, no longer pretending, revealing his true colors completely. Hearing Yu Feng say this, Zhu Yi's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

The situation is developing in a direction that is extremely unfavorable to him.

I seem to have underestimated these young people.

Yu Feng meant that he and Xiao Hua had no connection whatsoever.

Now Xiaohua is standing here so calmly, it's clear she wasn't coerced.

That being said.

Is there a possibility?
That means Xiaohua has been bribed by them.

They must have done a lot of investigation during this period.

Upon thinking of this, Zhu Yi's face turned deathly pale.

It's over, it's completely over, everything's finished now.

They really stumbled in the gutter this time.

I never expected to be defeated by these young people. It was a real miscalculation.

"So all of this was part of your plan, a trap set up by higher-ups?"

"I prepared the evidence for you in advance. As long as you complete the final step, you'll successfully gild your resume? You've certainly succeeded. I can only blame myself for underestimating you. I, Zhu Qian, admit defeat." Zhu Qian, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

He had given up hope and knew he was finished.

"You've done so many heinous things, it's too good for you to be brought to justice now, I spit on you!" Xiao Hua spat at the two men who usually bossed him around. He never expected them to have their day; it was truly gratifying.

"Xiao Hua, we've always treated you well."

Why did you betray us? Was this really the right thing to do?

Zhu Qian chose to remain silent, while Zhu Yi roared in uncontrollable rage.

Faced with Zhu Yi's questioning, Xiao Hua almost burst out laughing.

Zhu Qian shook his head inwardly; they really weren't that good to Xiao Hua.

Putting everything else aside, they acted dishonestly when it came to money, even refusing to pay on several occasions.

They're clearly so rich.

But this left Xiaohua struggling to make ends meet.

It's understandable that Xiaohua chose to betray them now.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that he had done some things wrong in the past.

But it's too late to regret it now; we can only accept our fate.

Zhu Qian admitted defeat, that was obvious, but Zhu Yi was still unwilling to give up and wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

"Why did you betray us? You slut! No wonder you did such a shady thing, you're just destined to be a slut! Isn't it good to follow us? Would we not give you a chance? With the two of us looking after you, would we mistreat you? You're really short-sighted!" Zhu Yi roared hysterically.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted hoarsely.

My voice was hoarse from shouting for so long in the basement.

Now he speaks with a hoarse, raspy voice, and he sounds completely hysterical.

"You beast! You're a beast! Even my dog ​​has more conscience than you!"

"How could you be this kind of person? I've raised a dog for months and it knows to wag its tail, and you dare betray me! How much have I taken care of you? If it weren't for my help..."

Can you really do business with such peace of mind?

Can you work here with peace of mind without my help?
Before Zhu Yi could finish speaking, Yu Feng kicked him away.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

Zhu Yi crashed into the wall.

Still dazed from the impact, he kept muttering words like "beast" and "worse than pigs and dogs."

Yu Feng was speechless.

"Was he really that good to you before?"

Xiao Hua rolled her eyes dramatically.

When did he and Zhu Yi become so close? Was this guy really that good to me before?
How come I had no idea this happened?

He was just being wishful thinking, believing it was good for him.

Such self-righteous thinking is truly laughable.

"Let's not discuss this for now. Are you going to confess yourselves, or wait for us to produce evidence? We know everything you've done," Lin Beichen said indifferently, looking at Zhu Yi.

“I won’t say anything.”

Zhu Yi hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter this sentence.

It's impossible to say it; I absolutely cannot admit it to myself.

“I won’t say a word until my lawyer arrives.”

Zhu Yi made some harsh words, but they were useless against Lin Beichen. Lin Beichen had no intention of tolerating this guy. The evidence was conclusive; there was no need to reason with him. He would just beat him up and force a confession out of him. Still dare to be stubborn? Doesn't he know what he's done? Heh, if he were truly innocent, he would have been shouting his innocence long ago.

"What you're doing is against the rules."

“This is an abuse of power,” Zhu Qian suddenly interjected.

If they keep fighting like this, they really won't be able to hold on.

Lin Beichen almost burst out laughing at Zhu Qian's words.

So you do know what rules and laws are? If you know, why do you break them? Knowing the law and breaking it is an even more serious offense. There's no need to talk about rules with people like this.

Half a day passed.

Zhu Yi was beaten black and blue.

Zhu Qian was also beaten beyond recognition.

Even so, they are still very stubborn.

He would rather die than admit to doing those things; he just wouldn't budge.

It's impossible to say that. Even if I were beaten to death, I couldn't say it.

"Stop! Stop hitting us! Stop hitting us! This won't work! Do you think we can't take it? Heh, you'll have to treat us to good food and drink." Zhu Yi was beaten unconscious.

While shouting "Don't hit me!", he also said he wasn't afraid.

"This is just the mild part. Do you want to experience the feeling of your fingers being connected to your heart? Look, I have ten steel needles here." Norasuke casually took out the steel needles he had prepared beforehand. He had wanted to do this for a long time, although he hadn't initially planned to use these things.

In his opinion.

Zhu Yi and Zhu Qian wouldn't be so stubborn.

Who knew these two guys would be so stubborn.

That's alright then. If this trick doesn't work, he has something even more ruthless.

"hiss--"

Yu Feng couldn't help but gasp; Nora-suke was truly ruthless.

"Wait! I admit it! I admit it all! Stop pressuring me!"

"I'll say everything I need to say, just stop hitting me." Zhu Qian finally gave in.

Unlike Zhu Yi, who stubbornly refused to admit defeat even when he was clearly about to give up, Zhu Yi did not.

Continuing to endure this will lead nowhere. Being beaten to the point of insanity will eventually force you to confess. Rather than letting others torture you like this, it's better to be honest and tell the truth.

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner? Why suffer this physical pain?"

Norasuke smiled.

But a hint of disappointment flashed deep in his eyes.

I originally wanted to make those two old guys experience the pain of having their fingers pierced through their hearts, but they chickened out.

"Zhu Qian, you can't say it! You can't say it! If you say it now, all our previous efforts and hard work will be in vain! If you confess now, all the beatings I suffered will have been for nothing!" Zhu Yi was unwilling to give up.

I am unwilling to let all my hard work go to waste.

The thought of the brutal beatings he had suffered before made him tremble.

He couldn't accept that all the beatings he'd endured had been for nothing.

After hearing Zhu Yi's explanation, Zhu Qian was speechless.

It's like they think you can keep going forever, but it's a bottomless pit. If they don't say anything to you for a day, they'll beat you for a day; if they don't say anything for two days, they'll beat you for two days, until you give in.

At worst, I'll just have to work as a sewing machine in prison.

Why suffer through the torment of these young people? It's unnecessary.

As for whether he will be sentenced to death after going to prison.

I can't say anything else, but Zhu Qian is at least certain that he won't die.

Thinking about the network of connections he had built up over the years, he figured he could at least save his life to some extent.

The confession process went relatively smoothly.

The moment Zhu Qian considered giving in, the matter was already settled.

The following morning, new official staff quickly arrived to take over.

The specific crimes committed by Zhu Yi and Zhu Qian have not been disclosed to the public, and there are no plans to make this public for the time being.

The trial will only begin once all the evidence has been processed.

It's not that Zhu Yi and Zhu Qian have any powerful background.

Even if they have connections and influence, who would dare to step forward and help them in this situation?
To try to stand up now would be tantamount to courting death.

Anyone with a brain would not want to be associated with Zhu Yi and Zhu Qian.

Trying to frame someone before being caught? Threatening? Not a chance.

No one will believe what Zhu Yi and Zhu Qian say now.

Having dealt with Zhu Yi and Zhu Qian's issues, the next step is to solve the troubles in Shanmen Village. I initially thought this matter wouldn't require special handling, since I was the murderer myself—how could I possibly investigate?

Who would have thought the ensuing turmoil would escalate so dramatically?

In addition, another group of people went missing, which gave Lin Beichen a major headache.

……

"This is the compensation money issued by the higher-ups. Find a legitimate job from now on."

"Stop doing this; it's all illegal. Now that I've seen it, I have to advise you."

The supporting character gave Xiao Hua some instructions.

Xiao Hua accepted the payment with a smile on her face.

This time, he listened to what the supporting character said.

With this money, what couldn't he do? He didn't want to live a life constantly having to put up with other people's attitudes.

"Understood, thank you so much this time."

Xiao Hua responded politely.

"Not at all, we should be thanking you for your cooperation."

The supporting actor nodded in greeting.

This collaboration went fairly well, with both parties getting what they needed.

There's no need to investigate Xiaohua's previous non-compliant transactions.

"Are you going to deal with the matter in Shanmen Village? If so, I suggest you be careful."

"You might not believe it, but Shanmen Village is indeed a bit eerie."

"Some strange things really did happen in the village in the past."

Xiao Hua kindly reminded him.

After saying that, he picked up his luggage and left.

He declined to elaborate, as this matter might be too sensitive for public officials.

They don't want to be labeled as promoting feudal superstition.

……

After a while.

"Brother Lin Beichen, the situation this time might be more complicated than we thought."

"Just now, Miss Xiaohua said that something like this happened in Shanmen Village before..."

The supporting character relayed the news he had just learned to Lin Beichen. Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen's expression gradually turned serious. He had initially thought that this incident was at most a matter of getting lost in the mountains.

Now it seems that it's definitely not that simple.

Among the missing persons is an old acquaintance, Wang Baozi, who seems to have some health issues.

Trouble follows you wherever you go.

"It's not a big problem; we can handle anything that happens."

"Let's go, don't delay. We still need to go to the Empire after we finish these matters."

Traffic was congested on the way to Shanmen Village.

People from all directions flocked to Shanmen Village.

The village of Shanmen was bustling with activity. The deaths of more than a dozen people earlier, coupled with the disappearance of a well-known content creator in the mountains, had caused the village to become a hot topic again.

"Have you heard? Shanmen Village was a battlefield in ancient times."

"That's why these incidents keep happening. I advise you to move out as soon as possible; there's no good in staying here. Don't wait until something really happens before you come back and cause trouble," someone said.

These words made the local villagers frown.

They've lived here for generations; how could they not know the history of this place?
Even hearsay can't be this outrageous. Shanmen Village is located in a very remote area.

The war never reached this place.

For hundreds of years, they had never experienced war.

Of course, it's hard to say if we trace it back thousands of years.

No one knows what this place was like thousands of years ago. If we're really being serious, which piece of land hasn't seen people die here over these thousands of years? Many public facilities are now built on cemeteries, so what's so strange about people dying here? It's all very common.

"Don't call me an old man who's superstitious."

"You young people aren't as open-minded as this old man. What era are we living in? Still doing this kind of thing?"

The second uncle immediately rebuked the visitor.

It is indeed true that guests from afar are treated as guests.

But these people are really going too far.

They keep spreading all sorts of baseless speculations.

In short, it was determined that Shanmen Village was problematic and uninhabitable.

How could the elderly people who had lived in Shanmen Village their whole lives not be angry?
If it weren't for the fact that Shanmen Village is currently receiving attention from all sectors of society...

The second uncle even wanted to physically teach these people a lesson.

"Oh dear, you old man, you really don't know what's good for you. I kindly reminded you, and you didn't appreciate it at all. Not only did you not appreciate it, but you even gave me that look? This is something passed down from our ancestors!! There must be a reason why it has been passed down for five thousand years." The young man retorted angrily to his second uncle.

The roles were instantly switched.

It should be the elderly who believe these traditional sayings more.

Why do young people believe in this stuff these days? It really baffled Uncle Er.

"If there were no problems in Shanmen Village, would one incident after another have occurred?"

"Those who know, know. I won't say more; I don't want to upset you."

"It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin—they don't appreciate a kind heart."

"Kindness was misunderstood."

These words almost made the second uncle faint from anger.

"How dare you talk like that? Do you think we don't know what's going on in Shanmen Village?"

"Spreading rumors here comes with consequences."

Finally, some young people from Shanmen Village stood up and spoke out.

The surrounding villagers seemed to have found their leader and echoed his sentiments.

"That's right, young man, don't be ridiculous. Who here isn't older than you? We've lived here for generations; do you think we know less than an outsider like you? If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame us for being impolite."

"This is outrageous! Young man, I urge you to be kind."

"Pu Xin is truly arrogant, thinking he knows everything, but in reality he knows absolutely nothing."

The power of the internet is indeed formidable.

The elderly people in Shanmen Village speak in a very modern way.

It was as if magic had defeated magic, and the young man who had been speaking eloquently just moments before was suddenly speechless.
