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

"Let's go, we'll settle the score with them another day."

Before he could finish speaking, a burning pain had already covered his cheek.

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in everyone's ears, and Tang Ruisi's face was full of anger.

"You lied to me, Tian Qi. This ends here."

After saying that, Tang Ruis turned and left.

As for Tian Qi's life or death, she no longer cared.

……

Tian Qi tried to win Tang Ruisi back.

This is the daughter of a super-rich man; missing out on this opportunity would be a once-in-a-lifetime chance. To win her favor, he did his homework and made thorough preparations.

Just when it seemed they were about to succeed, they failed at the crucial moment.

He hated the man who had just assaulted him. Why were these people against him? Victory was in sight; it was infuriating! What had he done to offend them?
Did I offend them by impersonating a Chinese person?

That person spoke both the language of cherry blossoms and Chinese.

This shows that he had already seen through his disguise, and thus took action to teach him a lesson.

But the relationship between the empire and China was not friendly.

He was filled with confusion, yet subconsciously overlooked Tang Ruiz's favorable impression of China. There is no absolute right or wrong in the world; power may indeed be in conflict.
But each faction is composed of all sorts of individuals.

Each person has an independent soul, thoughts, and way of thinking.

There has never been a principle that two opposing forces must be irreconcilably opposed to each other.

This statement does not exist.

Most of the time it's just a difference in perspective.

He also wanted to confront the person who had attacked him.

Unbeknownst to them, Lin Beichen had already left with his men.

Looking around, all I saw were Jack and his brothers with friendly smiles.

Oops.

He knew Jack.

This person can be considered Tang Ruisi's protector.

They had been waiting for an opportunity to harm him.

Because of the special care that Tom Cruise gave him, he never got a chance.

Now that Tang Ruis has abandoned him, Jack and the others will obviously not show any mercy.

It's over, it's really over this time. Tian Qi felt utterly hopeless. She was about to cry for help when Jack covered her mouth. Jack dragged Tian Qi out of the restaurant like a chick.

"So he's not Chinese? I always thought this guy was weird."

"Yes, I also feel he's very hypocritical, which makes me very uncomfortable."

After Tian Qi and Jack left, the crowd began to discuss the matter.

"This person is so fake."

Amidst the conflicting opinions,

This area, adjacent to the university town,

People know something about Tang Ruiz to some extent.

This is a well-known wealthy heiress in the entire region.

In addition, Tian Qi's recent close association with Tang Ruisi has naturally attracted attention. Many people are extremely jealous of Tian Qi, but Tang Ruisi has always protected this kid.

In this situation, bystanders naturally dare not act rashly.

Only Jack, fearless as he was, dared to defy the odds and commit the crime.

Fortunately, someone had just exposed Tian Qi's identity, but those people had already left.

Hmm, they were able to see through Tian Qi's disguise at a glance.

Perhaps they are scholars specializing in Chinese literature and other Eastern disciplines.

Everyone secretly speculated, and the news quickly spread on the campus forum.

Shocking! Tom Jerry's daughter, Tom Reese, has been scammed in a romantic relationship!!

There's an old Chinese saying that goes something like this.

There's always a way out; after all the twists and turns, a new path opens up.

Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows make a shade.

The current situation perfectly illustrates these ancient sayings.

Lin Beichen and his companions never expected that the woman they had met by chance would be connected to Tang Jierui. The probability of this happening was extremely low, yet they had stumbled upon it.

Tang Jierui's daughter is Tang Ruisi.

Lin Beichen and his group's first encounter with Tang Ruisi went quite smoothly.

They had been planning to start by targeting people close to Tang Jierui.

This is great; it saves us the trouble of finding a target, and there's a ready-made candidate right in front of us.

All they need to do is try to deepen their relationship with Tang Ruiz, which, of course, is no easy task.

Achieving this goal is not easy.

Tom Cruise was not a stupid person, and he had just been deceived in a relationship.

At this moment, she was extremely wary. If Lin Beichen and his group approached her using conventional methods, they would inevitably fail. Therefore, they decided to play it by ear and not insist on contacting Tang Ruis through Tang Jierui's line; they could obtain intelligence from other channels as well.

Of course, Tang Ruiz remains an important source of intelligence.

Lin Beichen and his team adopted a strategy of casting a wide net, advancing on multiple fronts, hoping that one path would eventually lead to success. Nora, Zhou Tianliang, and Zhang San each embarked on independent operations. Yu Feng, meanwhile, stayed by Lin Beichen's side; the two had been partners for many years and possessed excellent teamwork.

Their target is none other than themselves.

It was Tang Ruis who was the most difficult to deal with and the most crucial.

Lin Beichen originally intended to entrust this task to Nora and his team.

He intended to act alone, but the key issue was that Norōsuke wasn't interested in it.

He had little interest in getting to know Tang Ruis; to be precise, he found women particularly troublesome.

Moreover, he lacks confidence in his acting skills.

They also lack Lin Beichen's mysterious ability to predict good and bad fortune.

A slight misstep could easily lead to a disastrous outcome.

For his own safety, he decided to stay away from Tang Rui. One of his principles was to stay away from women, and he rarely approached them, because when indulging in lust, his alertness and reaction ability would decrease, putting himself in danger! As the former chief assassin of the Sakura Kingdom, he was extremely cautious in this regard.

……

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng did not intend to make direct contact with Tang Ruisi.

They are not prepared to complete this task in the short term.

Solving Tang Jierui's problem is far more complicated than it seems.

If this task were easy, they wouldn't need to do it.

Acting too deliberately would arouse suspicion, so they waited for the right moment. The opportunity did arrive, but it was half a month later. They saw the arrogant faces of the bandits on the Imperial Internet—these thugs had kidnapped Tang Jerry's biological daughter.

Tom Cruise is now in danger.

This is a perfect opportunity; if we can stage a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress moment, that would be ideal.

It will surely win over Tom Cruise, although there are still risks involved.

This criminal gang is no ordinary group; the thugs who dared to kidnap Tangris are no pushovers. They are the Empire's notorious criminal organization, the "Flying Thieves."

This gang primarily engaged in theft.

They rarely engage in kidnapping and extortion, so I don't know what got into them, but they suddenly started causing trouble for Tang Jierui and even dared to target Tang Jierui's beloved daughter.

This is practically defying the laws of nature.

You should know that Tang Jierui is no pushover.

Offending him wouldn't end well; they might never be able to maintain their foothold in the empire again. Of course, they had considered this before taking action. Therefore, they demanded an exorbitant ransom, intending to retire from the criminal world after this heist.

It must be said, they really have a lot of ideas.

Rather than making minor adjustments, it's better to solve the problem once and for all.

"You bastard, how dare you lay a hand on my daughter!"

"Just because I haven't shown my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover!"

"I'll make you pay!" Tang Jierui roared in fury upon hearing the news. He hadn't expected anyone to dare lay a hand on his daughter.

But since things have come to this point, a solution must be found.

"Sir, what should we do? Pay the ransom, or..."

Captain Lightning is Tang Jerry's confidant, but he can't figure out what his boss is thinking.

I wonder if the officer will consider the safety of his daughter.

You should know that this is Tang Jerry's only child.

"Or what?! If I pay to ransom her, how could I abandon my daughter to her death?"

Tang Jerry's icy gaze shot towards Captain Lightning, sending chills down his spine.

"Heh, being alive to receive money doesn't mean you'll be alive to spend it."

Trying to get something out of him won't be so easy.
A cold glint flashed in Tang Jerry's eyes; those who knew him well understood this was a sign of fury. Captain Lightning, Otto, felt a chill run down his spine.

He really didn't want to deal with Tang Jerry when he was furious.

But as one of his trusted confidants, he had no choice but to stay, even though he felt it was a difficult decision.

"Please leave this to me!!"

Alto volunteered.

He silently mourned for that gang of thieves.

These people are really stupid; they actually tried to squeeze money out of Tang Jierui.

Even if we get the ransom, what good will it do? Will we ever have peace afterward?
The empire's territory is vast; where could they possibly escape to? Even if they fled to the ends of the earth, it would be futile.

The empire's armed forces are spread across every corner of the world.

Even if one lives in anonymity, it is impossible to live out the rest of one's life in peace.

“Yes, I’ll leave this matter entirely to you,” Tang Jierui nodded.

He suddenly felt exhausted. He was originally dealing with Chinese affairs, and now this matter had come up, leaving him feeling utterly drained and with no extra energy to attend to it.

"You're in charge of everything. Money is not an issue; her safety is paramount."

"Once this matter is handled properly, you will receive half of the ransom."

"But don't let me find out you've increased the ransom amount without my permission."

After saying these words, Tang Jierui left.

He didn't have time to waste on such trivial matters.

Other personnel need to be arranged to carry out missions within China.

If this unexpected event hadn't occurred, he would have wanted to personally command from the front lines. Of course, he couldn't go to China himself. His plan was to use Japan as a base.

Using the land of cherry blossoms as a transit point.

In turn, they imposed various forms of suppression on China.

The main purpose is to create various disturbances within China.

First, they hired online trolls to spread rumors, and then they invested heavily in it.

Inciting certain destabilizing factors to act. Every force has problematic individuals to some extent; these people are inherently evil and relish the suffering of others. Tang Jierui dislikes such perverts.

But I wouldn't mind using them.

"Stephen, what are the latest developments on the Chinese side?"

He asked another trusted confidant, Stephen.

Upon hearing Tang Jierui's question, Stephen responded respectfully on the other end of the communicator.

"Everything is going smoothly. We have already initially used funds to buy off a group of online trolls."

"The expenditure is not high, and these Chinese are relatively easy to control; it only requires a small amount of money. If we had adopted this strategy earlier, we might have succeeded already."

Stephen said confidently.

Tang Jerry was quite satisfied with Stephen's confident attitude.

He admired ambitious young people the most, believing that only such people could achieve great things. He despised those conservative old fogies, timid and hesitant, who would never amount to anything. If conditions allowed, he would love to eliminate them all.

In the words of Tang Jierui.

These people are the cancer of the empire, and they only hinder the operation of the imperial machine.

Aside from their seniority and some influence, these people are utterly useless.

They are nothing but parasites of the empire.

Their presence will only hinder the rise of the empire's younger generation.

Tang Jierui is indeed quite radical, but he has many supporters.

His advocacy of generational change is highly regarded by the younger generation.

He usually prefers to promote young people without connections.

It can be considered a solid support for the vast majority of ordinary people's children.

"Don't underestimate them; the Chinese are not as easy to deal with as you might think. Try to confuse the situation and prevent the Chinese from realizing our intentions. I won't elaborate further on this."

"I'll leave the affairs of China to you. I still have some troubles to deal with here."

"I'll meet you again after things are resolved."

Tang Jierui gave a brief explanation.

Stephen became interested upon hearing this, eager to help his superior who appreciated him. If it weren't for Jerry Tang's discerning eye, he would never have reached his current position.

He is indeed capable, and capable people are bound to be arrogant.

But as the old saying goes: A woman adorns herself for the one who appreciates her, and a man dies for the one who understands him.

A fine horse is common, but a discerning eye is rare. Meeting Tang Jierui was like a fine horse finding a discerning eye, or a harmonious meeting of kindred spirits. He considered Tang Jierui his destined benefactor. Therefore, upon hearing of Tang Jierui's troubles, he was eager to help him resolve his difficulties.

"Some petty thieves, oblivious to the danger, kidnapped my daughter."

"It's not a big problem. You don't need to worry about things here. Just focus on completing your task."

"Who on earth is so audacious as to commit such a reckless act...?"

Stephen was shocked, never expecting that someone within the Empire would dare to provoke Tang Jerry.

Noticing Stephen's surprise, Tang Jerry explained casually:
"Those youngsters in the Flying Thieves' Gang are like grasshoppers in autumn, they won't last long. You don't need to worry about these trivial matters; just focus on handling the tasks at hand."

Tang Jierui maintained his previous stance.

Stephen did not refute his statement.

Since Tang Jierui had already said so, he naturally couldn't say anything more.

Moreover, he had great confidence in Tang Jielei's methods and abilities.

It can only be said that the Flying Thieves messed with the wrong people.

They were destined to perish, and even if they received the ransom, they would not be able to enjoy it.

Stephen thought this to himself, unaware of the Flying Thieves' true intentions. Just as Tang Jerry had sent people to create trouble within China, the Chinese side had made a similar decision.

The mastermind behind the Flying Thieves is actually China.

The main purpose of this move was to coordinate with the actions of Lin Beichen and others.

Without a major incident, Lin Beichen and his group would find it difficult to find a suitable opportunity for the assassination. Therefore, the Chinese leadership ultimately decided to hire the Flying Thieves. By sparing no expense to engage the Flying Thieves, China paid a considerable price.

After all, the Flying Thieves were taking a huge risk with this operation.

China was naturally generous and paid the compensation quite readily.

Most importantly, China had promised to provide them with shelter.

The Flying Thieves had great trust in China's reputation. They hadn't leaked the news; apart from high-ranking officials in China, only the core members of the thieves' group knew about it, and even Lin Beichen and his group were currently kept in the dark.

That's why it's so secretive.

This is mainly to prevent information leaks.

The fewer people who know the truth, the better; only in this way can we ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Just as Imperial agents stirred up trouble in China, Tang Jierui dared not act openly. If the charges were proven, the situation would be difficult to manage. The power struggle between the two major forces continued unabated.

Undercurrents are surging!

The situation is becoming increasingly complex.

Regarding the power struggle between the empire and China.

Many smaller factions are happy to see this happen.

If these two behemoths do not clash. (End of Chapter)
