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

"It cannot be ruled out that this was instigated by foreign forces."

"But these problems do exist."

"It's not about belittling or not; shouldn't problems be solved?"

The power of netizens is boundless.

Lin Beichen originally intended to announce a fair verdict.

But after hearing what Yu Feng said, he chose to remain silent.

The outcome of this investigation was riddled with flaws, and the cause of Mr. Li's death was not even determined.

There is no need for him to announce it.

Netizens can figure out the outline of the matter themselves.

Among so many people, there must be some extraordinary individuals.

"Do journalists like this still exist? I'm proud that such people exist, especially since they're Chinese. But I'm also saddened that some people would have such no bottom line for money. Is this an era where money reigns supreme? Pioneers should be remembered forever."

"I'd like to know what his colleagues in the journalism community think of him."

……

"Don't ask anymore, we in the press naturally respect him."

"He dares to do what we dare not do."

"He dares to say what we dare not say."

"We respect him, but we won't emulate him. Don't ask me why I say something so naive. Respecting him doesn't mean wanting to be him, that's roughly the idea."

"We need to speed things up."

Lin Beichen said in a deep voice.

Distant water cannot save near fire.

These are things that are beyond their control right now.

Therefore, Lin Beichen did not intend to pay too much attention to these situations.

"Don't worry about these things. It's not a big problem. We just need to complete the mission as quickly as possible; others will handle the rest. You don't think there's no one else in China who can handle this, do you?"

Lin Beichen said casually.

Listen to him.

Zhou Tianliang gave an awkward smile.

He realized that he was indeed being a little too nervous.

It's really shameful to believe everything you hear.

Fortunately, Lin Beichen reminded him, preventing him from making a further fool of himself.

Indeed, their top priority right now is to achieve their goals.

Instead of meddling in things that aren't their business. Of course, Zhou Tianliang was just mentioning it casually. He wouldn't be foolish enough to make a fool of himself. He was simply discussing it as a topic of conversation.

This situation exists not only in China.

Other factions also have similar problems.

It's just a matter of degree. For example, the situation in the Empire was quite chaotic.

Shooting incidents occur from time to time.

I don't feel at ease going out without carrying some self-defense weapons.

After spending some time together and integrating, they also became aware of the Empire's atmosphere. The Empire wasn't very friendly towards people of East Asian descent, and there was some discrimination against Asians. However, overall it was acceptable; only a minority held discriminatory attitudes.

The reason for discrimination is mostly caused by a few bad apples.

The most important thing now is to get in touch with Tom Cruise as soon as possible.

"By the way, what's the progress on your end?" Lin Beichen got down to business.

He and Yu Feng were specifically tasked with getting closer to Tang Ruisi, while the others also had their own targets.

After this period of operation, they have achieved limited results.

This was mainly to avoid rushing things and arousing Tom Cruise's suspicion.

"Our progress here isn't ideal either; we can only take it slowly."

"If we take direct action, we might actually succeed; I'm at least 60% confident."

But such rash action could cost you your life.

Norasuke said these words.

He didn't want to lose his life in a foreign land.

The prerequisite for completing the mission is ensuring one's own safety.

If we lose our lives, then this mission will undoubtedly be a failure.

"Dealing with Tang Jerry isn't that easy. He's one of the highest-ranking officials in the empire."

“That’s true.”

Lin Beichen felt relieved.

A person like Tang Jierui must have faced assassination attempts quite often.

So many people wanted him dead, yet he was still alive and well. This was enough to demonstrate the extreme difficulty of assassinating Tang Jierui. Making progress in just a few days was clearly unrealistic. Lin Beichen wasn't particularly disappointed; he was prepared for a protracted struggle! He had been mentally prepared when he accepted the mission.

If one week isn't enough, then two weeks will do.

If it can't be done in two weeks, then it will take a month.

If it still doesn't work, just keep going. Two months, three months, six months, a year—as long as there's progress, success will come sooner or later. As excellent hunters, they can't lack basic patience. Besides, their lives in the Empire aren't too bad.

There is food and drink.

No need to hide like a mouse.

They had identities prepared for them by the Chinese government to provide cover.

As long as you don't do anything suspicious, you'll generally be fine.

For now, they are still adopting a steady and pragmatic strategy.

It doesn't matter if the task progresses slowly; the most important thing is not to be targeted.

If we were being targeted, that would be truly disastrous, indirectly increasing the difficulty of subsequent operations. After a brief gathering and the exchange of intelligence, everyone dispersed.

No one noticed anything unusual about them.

The entire communication process used coded language.

"No problem, these people are really fine. It seems they didn't approach the young lady with any ulterior motives." An agent in the shadows reported the situation; they had been investigating this group.

It's not that I doubt their imperial identity.

The main suspicion is that they might have ulterior motives in contacting Miss Tang Rui.

As Tang Jierui's only daughter, Tang Ruisi naturally attracted the attention of many with ulterior motives. Tang Jierui didn't outwardly make any special arrangements, but he remained vigilant behind the scenes.

"The fact that no problems have been found yet does not mean there are no problems at all."

“Continue to keep watch, but don’t follow too closely. Remember the most important thing: do not reveal your identity. Conduct surveillance only while ensuring your own safety; this is crucial.”

The butler, who was in charge of handling miscellaneous tasks for Tang Jierui, gave this instruction.

"Understood, Head Butler!"

"There's something I feel like they've already discovered me, and I don't know if it's just my imagination."

"Their counter-surveillance capabilities are very strong."

"This made us hesitant to get too close."

The agent hesitated for a moment, but then spoke.

He wasn't sure.

He was unsure whether the other party had actually discovered him.

But if we don't report this, what if there's a real problem?

In short, it's best to report it first. If something really goes wrong, you can find an excuse to get away with it later.

That's what the agents were thinking.

After listening to the report from the special agents.

The head butler couldn't help but frown.

The situation is far more complicated than the other party claims.

There are no such coincidences or feelings in the world.

Since doubts have arisen, it can be basically concluded that there is a problem with this matter.

He just doesn't know how to handle it right now, since the other party hasn't shown any signs of wrongdoing.

In this situation, he can't just do whatever he wants.

Even if the other party had ulterior motives, it didn't change the fact that they had helped Miss Tang Ruis last time. Taking action against Miss Tang Ruis's friend without proper consideration would definitely cause trouble later. This was something even a fool could understand. Therefore, after much hesitation, the head butler ultimately didn't reveal his true thoughts.

He simply told the other party to be careful.

It absolutely cannot be discovered. As long as it isn't discovered.

Just keep an eye on it.

Report to him only if a problem arises.

After receiving clear instructions from the head steward, the agents ended the communication.

The group divided the tasks: some followed Lin Beichen, others followed Nora. Lin Beichen and the others were fully aware they were being followed. Let alone Lin Beichen, how could Nora, as a professional assassin, not notice being followed? He was the first to notice something amiss. As the former top assassin of Japan, if he couldn't even see through such a simple trick...

That would truly be a disgrace to his reputation.

It's fine if someone follows you, as long as you notice them in advance.

Now that they've noticed, we can put on a show for them.

This way, they can have better contact with Tom Cruise.

"These people must be quite capable; I must be careful this time."

"Prepare for the worst, and lower your expectations to the minimum."

The agents thought to themselves.

They don't believe this feeling is unfounded.

There's a problem, definitely a problem! These people are all experts.

"Understood, boss. I'll be careful. I'm off to track that target now."

The agents were talking amongst themselves.

at the same time.

"Heh, if Lin Beichen hadn't told me not to make a move, you wouldn't even know how you died." Nora sneered. He didn't care about these people at all; dealing with them would be a piece of cake.

It was no challenge for him.

However, Lin Beichen had instructed them beforehand not to act rashly.

He knew the gravity of the situation, so he kept quiet.

But for top assassins, some things have become instincts.

Even if he didn't deliberately hide, it wouldn't be easy for those people to follow him. They could lose him in the blink of an eye! That's right, they lost track of Norasuke. They couldn't find him anywhere; one moment he was in sight, the next he was gone.

He is indeed not an ordinary person.

He's definitely a master.

I lost track of them without even realizing it.

"Damn it, where did they go? Where did they hide?"

"With skills like that, doesn't that mean he discovered me a long time ago and has been playing along with my act? That's terrifying." The agent felt a chill run down his spine, and his whole body felt uneasy.

What kind of monster am I tracking?

Taking his life would be incredibly easy. Luckily, he didn't do anything to provoke him, which is why he narrowly escaped death.

Should we continue to monitor this?
You should know that the boss above paid him a lot of money.

If you withdraw now, you won't get your money back.

He hesitated because he would have to pay a penalty for breach of contract.

But his hesitation lasted only a moment before a resolute look appeared on his face.

It's not worth risking your life for such a small amount of money.

There was no need to continue; the other party had already shown mercy by not making him pay a price. Continuing to follow them would be tantamount to being disrespectful. Having thought all this through, he decided to give up.

He then shared his thoughts with the leader.

His leader frowned upon hearing this.

So, his situation should be similar.

The other party must have realized his intentions, but just didn't point it out.

"Brother, I really can't do this job. Losing some money is nothing; my life is the most important thing. The worst thing you can do in our line of work is offend the wrong people."

"Take care, brother."

After saying that, he ended the call.

The leader's account soon received a transfer.

He wasn't surprised; he knew his brother had given him the money to pay the penalty for breach of contract.

He's determined to completely distance himself from this matter.

The subordinates made a resolute decision, which caused the leader to waver.

He knew his subordinate's abilities better than anyone else—the other party's strength was no less than his own.

Even he chose to quit, so why should I continue?
If this continues, I'm afraid I might even lose my life.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to abandon the mission.

One of my subordinates was right: the enemy is unfathomable, and this time the target is exceptionally powerful.

The group of people they were tracking had an unknown origin.

If the other party is just an ordinary person, they are not afraid.

The key issue is that the opponent's strength is unfathomable, and he could take his life at any moment.

This kind of mission is too dangerous; one's life or death depends entirely on the other party's mood.

go on like this,
Something bad was bound to happen sooner or later.

Where are they?

He only lost focus for a moment before realizing that his target had disappeared.

The person simply vanished into thin air, just like the situation his subordinates had encountered.

Good heavens! He had a bad feeling and immediately tensed up. He was panicking. There seemed to be several pairs of eyes watching him, but they all looked like ordinary passersby. In this situation, there was no way he could find the person secretly watching him! His mind was in turmoil, and just as he was about to call his men, a voice rang in his ear.

"You've been following me for so long, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

“A whole week? That’s going too far. Tell me, who sent you?” Lin Beichen had silently appeared behind him without him even noticing.

These words terrified the agent.

Unexpectedly, the other party had already detected their actions seven days earlier.

He thought his whereabouts had only recently been exposed.

Little did they know that it had been discovered from the very beginning.

It's over, completely over. The other side's methods were so sophisticated.

It's ridiculous that I'm still hesitating; following someone like that is practically suicide.

"From the moment you set your sights on me, I've been setting my sights on you too."

Lin Beichen chuckled and patted his shoulder.

Agent Tuo Ke dared not turn back.

He is terrified now.
My legs were trembling uncontrollably.

He knew he had messed with someone he shouldn't have.

"Don't be so scared, relax, we're not bad people."

Yu Feng's voice rang out at just the right moment.

He speaks foreign languages ​​fluently.
Most people wouldn't be able to detect the flaws.

His pronunciation is remarkably standard! No wonder he comes from a distinguished family.
The agent also failed to realize that Yu Feng was a foreigner. Furthermore, the human skin masks worn by Lin Beichen and Yu Feng were extremely realistic, leading Agent Tuo Ke to mistake them for locals.

They even thought he was a member of a large local family.

"I have been blind and offended you all. Please forgive me."

“My men and I have just deeply reflected on our actions and decided to withdraw from this mission…” Before he could finish speaking, Yu Feng had already turned his head around.

Yu Feng gently turned his head.

Tuo Ke dared not resist in the slightest and obediently turned his head.

He was terrified that his head would be twisted off at any moment.

“Look at me, you piece of trash,” Yu Feng said without any politeness.

Faced with Yu Feng's rude attitude, he dared not resist.

He was as docile as a kitten, meek and submissive in front of Yu Feng, not daring to utter a sound. At this moment, he only thought about escaping and getting rid of the other party's control as soon as possible.

He has made up his mind.

I will never accept this type of task again.

The money I earned before was enough.

It's best to avoid this kind of dangerous, high-risk business.

What's the use of making a lot of money? The real loss is earning it but not living to spend it. (End of Chapter)
