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

Didn't a senior colleague just slip up in a ditch a while ago?

Even the top assassin in Japan failed.

At the time, I didn't think much of it, but now I realize it was arrogance. If I encounter a similar situation now, I mustn't follow in his footsteps! Even such a formidable master has perished; what makes me think I can get away with it? I must retire from this life as soon as possible.

He understood it very well.

If I can survive this time...

I will never do such a dangerous job as a secret agent again.

Although worried about their situation, they were not particularly afraid.

It's hard to say about other things, but at least for now it's safe, with so many people around.

In broad daylight, these two would probably not dare to kill someone in public.

They would inevitably have some reservations. Thinking of this, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, and his trembling body gradually calmed down. He knew he couldn't panic now; panic wouldn't solve anything, and to survive, he had to remain calm.

"My name is Tuo Ke, and I'm a professional special agent."

"I've been in this business for two and a half years, and this is my 999th mission."

"I was assigned by the head butler to follow you and investigate your motives for contacting Tang Ruiz. My men have just abandoned this mission."

"This is the penalty he paid me for breach of contract."

Before Yu Feng could interrogate him further, he confessed everything he knew. There's an old Chinese saying: "A wise man submits to circumstances."

Yu Feng didn't say much to such a person.

The other party was also paid to do a job, and now they have confessed everything they needed to.

Killing him was definitely not an option; it wouldn't benefit them at all. During their time in the Empire, they adhered to a low profile, trying to avoid any unnecessary complications.

Nevertheless, it still attracted the attention of certain individuals.

To be precise, they themselves have problems.

Or perhaps the people they come into contact with are rather unusual.

As Tang Jierui's only daughter, Tang Ruisi's status inevitably draws attention to those she associates with. Actually, the conman Tang Ruisi encountered last time was also in dire straits; even without Lin Beichen and his group's intervention, that conman wouldn't have seen the sunrise the next day. To be precise, Lin Beichen saved him. If Lin Beichen hadn't exposed the conman's true colors, he wouldn't have just received a beating; he would have certainly died.

"You are very smart."

"Very good, very good, I can let you go."

Lin Beichen nodded and smiled, then gently patted his cheek.

Lin Beichen's smile was bright, gentle, and full of goodwill. But the more genuine his smile, the more uneasy Tuo Ke felt. He had a bad feeling. As a special agent, he knew the rules of the trade: once he revealed all the information, wouldn't he lose his usefulness?

Will the other party kill him to silence him?
Upon realizing this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Please, give me a way out, I don't want to die. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child crying for food. My wife and the whole family depend on me for survival." Tuo Ke wept bitterly, his tears freezing in the cold weather.

His sudden action
This left Lin Beichen and Yu Feng stunned.

This also attracted passersby to stop and watch.

People were curious as to why this person suddenly knelt down.

Weren't they having a pleasant conversation just now? How did they suddenly fall out?
To outsiders, Lin Beichen and his two friends seemed like good friends.

They chatted and laughed without revealing any problems; who would imagine they were complete strangers? They addressed each other as brothers and patted each other on the shoulder, acting as if they were old friends.

"What happened?"

A girl approached curiously.

Before she could get close, Yu Feng had already pulled out a pistol from his waist.

The gun was pointed directly at the girl.

"Huh?!" The girl was terrified and exclaimed instinctively.

He then hurriedly retreated to the side, forcing a fawning smile onto his face.

There is really no way.

The other party has a gun.

In this situation,
It's best to avoid it as much as possible.

Of course, Yu Feng couldn't fire the shot.

Because what he held was the "Peacemaker".

This is a secret weapon that China developed specifically for them.

To facilitate its use in the Empire, the Chinese research institute modified the "Peacekeeper" to make its appearance more similar to that of an ordinary firearm.

It looks ordinary.
But its destructive power is comparable to that of a heavy artillery.

The crowd that originally intended to watch,
Seeing Yu Feng pull out a gun without saying a word, he was immediately terrified.

No one wants to risk their life just to watch a spectacle; they certainly don't want to lose their lives because of it.

"..." Yu Feng sighed inwardly.

No one criticized him for his rude behavior.

This is completely different from the situation in China. The empire has fewer keyboard warriors; no one will stand on moral high ground to criticize others, because that would be quite foolish.

Enrage the gunman
Ultimately, there is only one way out: death.

No matter who you are, everyone is equal before a bullet.

Even the most powerful and wealthy are not given special treatment by bullets.

"Hurry up, hurry up, stop looking. What are you trying to do? You're not thinking of standing up for someone, are you?" An Asian man was terrified when he saw his girlfriend still standing there looking around. He had just been accepted into Imperial University and had brought his girlfriend there to familiarize herself with the environment.

My girlfriend also has excellent grades.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to get into an Imperial College.

Perhaps because he was new to the empire, he was not yet familiar with the local customs and culture.

Witnessing someone committing a shooting in the street, his girlfriend seemed hesitant. Instead of immediately leaving, she appeared to intend to step forward and mediate, which he found completely incomprehensible.

"Chaoyan, don't act impulsively."

"They have guns, don't get involved in this."

“It’s not uncommon to encounter this situation in the Empire; ensuring one’s own safety is the primary consideration.” Bi Yan hurriedly grabbed Chao Yan’s arm, while giving Yu Feng a fawning smile.

That smile had a clear hint of ingratiation.

Chao Yan was displeased by Bi Yan's behavior.

He believes that one should stand up and fight when encountering violence in the street.

If everyone were as indifferent as the other bystanders, this world would be...
Bi Yan pondered this in her heart, then said to her boyfriend Chao Yan:

"We can't just walk away like this, can we? They're clearly trying to hurt someone in the street."

“If we stand idly by today, who will speak up for us when we are in danger in the future?” Bi Yan’s words were eloquent, which put Chao Yan in a dilemma! In the past, when he was in China, he often acted as a chivalrous person and even confronted villains head-on on several occasions.

Of course, at that time the assailant only had a fruit knife.

In that situation, Chao Yan would naturally dare to act bravely and righteously.

However, he still faces considerable risks when facing an armed assailant.

But wielding a knife and wielding a gun are completely different concepts, worlds apart. If the opponent is wielding a knife, he might have a slight chance of winning thanks to his limited martial arts skills.

But what if the other party is armed?

The situation is completely different.

He couldn't get close to the guns at all.

Rushing forward is tantamount to courting death, without exception.

"So what if we have guns? They would never dare to shoot us. We just need to reveal our identities." Bi Yan dismissed Chao Yan's advice, even showing considerable disdain.

Given her status and position, how could she have lost her life here?

Absolutely impossible, utterly impossible.

These robbers should know how prestigious their university is. If they just mentioned their school, the other side probably wouldn't dare to fire easily.

Chao Yan really wanted to tell his girlfriend:

These people are completely unreasonable; they have guns.

In the face of firearms, all beings are equal, without distinction of rank or status.

Everyone only has one life. If you don't cherish it, you'll have nowhere to cry when you die. He's even considering breaking up with his girlfriend.

How come I never noticed that Bi Yan was such a woman before?
Can't they even see the basic situation? That's utterly foolish. Meanwhile...

Tuo Ke was terrified.

When he saw Yu Feng pull out a pistol, he almost burst into tears.

He was just an ordinary special agent, responsible for investigation work.

I never expected to encounter such a desperate criminal today.

According to intelligence, this mission should have been completely safe.

But what was happening before their eyes was completely different from what the intelligence had described.

It nearly killed him. To save himself, he had no choice but to beg for mercy. Faced with Tuo Ke's pleas, Yu Feng curled his lip in disdain and ignored him.

Further decisions will be made by Lin Beichen.

What should we do with this guy in front of us?
Let's see what Brother Lin Beichen plans; he's too lazy to bother thinking about it.

It's not that Yu Feng lacks common sense, but rather that there's no need for him to do something so unnecessary.

"No need for that. I won't harm you. Just take us to see the head steward."

Lin Beichen said calmly.

He couldn't possibly kill the agent.

If we were to take his life, the head steward would surely be on guard.

As Tang Jierui's confidant, the head butler's potential hostility would hinder future plans. Therefore, Tang Jierui needs to have in-depth communication with the head butler.

Only by gaining the trust of the head steward.

Only by resolving their misunderstandings can they better obtain information about Tom Jerry. Without gaining the head butler's trust, they cannot establish a deeper connection with Tom Rhys. Their initial plan was to approach Tom Jerry through Tom Rhys.

As things stand, before contacting Tang Ruis, we must first win over the head housekeeper.

"You want to see the head butler?? Absolutely not!"

"If the head steward finds out I brought you along, he will surely kill me. The head steward strictly forbids outsiders from visiting. You are also under the head steward's surveillance."

If I take you to see the head steward, he'll definitely kill me.

Tuo Ke wanted to cry but had no tears; he could only silently repeat the second half of the sentence in his heart.

He knew perfectly well what he should say and what he shouldn't say.

If I speak too plainly, I might offend these people in front of me; it's better to be more tactful.

Now that our lives are in the hands of others, we must cooperate with them.
"You don't need to personally lead us to see the head steward. Just help us find his whereabouts. You'll be fine. I'll give you your freedom once we find him," Lin Beichen said, looking directly at Tuo Ke.

After a moment's thought, Tuo Ke made up his mind.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, so he immediately agreed to the other party's request.

He could simply lead them to the head butler's quarters and then slip away. This would do him no harm, and the other party wouldn't leak the information. He would be safe in any case, and the head butler wouldn't be able to detect his presence.

At most, it would make the head steward mistakenly believe that Lin Beichen and his group were quite mysterious.

"good!"

Tuo Ke made a decisive decision.

Then, under Lin Beichen's watchful eye, he briefly reported to the head housekeeper on his mobile phone, claiming that he wanted to resign from the job and return the compensation in full.

This includes not only his own share, but also his partner's share.

The head housekeeper was quite puzzled when he received the transfer notification.

He couldn't understand what was going on, why these agents wanted to return their payment. The person they'd asked to track wasn't some important figure. Was it really necessary to go to such lengths? He'd offered ten times the usual fee. Were they willing to pay hefty penalties to terminate the mission?

It seems the situation is more complicated than expected.

The people I was investigating were indeed extraordinary.

After asking a few simple questions, the head butler ended the call.

After completing all this, Tuo Ke smiled obsequiously at Lin Beichen:

"Everything is arranged; we can move out tonight."

"Let me make this clear beforehand, I will not go in with you, I will only tell you where he lives." Toko emphasized this point repeatedly, he really did not want to meet the head butler again.

"I know the rules, don't worry."

Lin Beichen nodded to indicate that he understood.

Just then, Bi Yan walked over.

Bi Yan sternly rebuked Lin Beichen:

"You've gone too far! Daring to commit violence with a gun in broad daylight! Is there no law? This is blatant contempt for the law!"

"This is a violation of human rights!"

"I'm sending you a lawyer's letter! I'm a law student at Paradise University, you better behave yourself!"

Bi Yan confidently revealed his identity.

She was not as dull-witted as Chao Yan thought.

Faced with such ruthless bandits, she dared not hesitate. If she didn't reveal her identity immediately, they might fire first. To save her life, she had to identify herself as soon as possible. She figured they wouldn't dare make a move rashly.

Paradise University is a renowned institution of learning in the Empire.

Its law school students are indeed renowned.

Who among those who can enter Paradise University isn't a chosen one? A bit of arrogance is normal. Lin Beichen just couldn't understand why this woman, who clearly had a Chinese face, was meddling in other people's business. Didn't she understand the cultural environment of the Empire? Why was she standing up for someone in a wrong?

It's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.

However, to be fair, the identity she revealed was indeed intimidating.

Passersby who were initially hesitant to pay much attention now became interested.

Most people began to stop and watch, curious to see how the students at Paradise University's law school would handle the situation. Initially, they were just observing with a sense of morbid curiosity.

But Yu Feng, who had been so arrogant and domineering, put away his gun.

Everyone was secretly surprised, and at the same time exclaimed – no wonder they are from Paradise University.

These two thugs had clearly heard of the reputation of Paradise University.

Unbeknownst to them, the main reason Lin Beichen and Yu Feng stopped was because he had reached an agreement with Tuoke. However, they didn't intend to explain further and simply chose to leave.

More and more onlookers gathered.

If you don't leave.

It could very well cause a sensation.

They came to the Empire on a mission.

Keeping a low profile is a consistent principle.

Being overly flamboyant can lead to unnecessary trouble.

Tuo Ke silently followed Lin Beichen's footsteps, ignoring Bi Yan no longer.

He appreciated the other party's kindness.

However, some things are not as simple as this Chinese woman thought.

……

"Wow, this lady is so cool!"

"She scared all the bad guys away."

A parent with a child by the roadside, and the child couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The adult simply smiled calmly and remained silent. It was only because they outnumbered each other that, in a secluded place, the other party might have simply opened fire and killed them.

"See? I told you they wouldn't dare to do anything reckless."

Bi Yan smiled smugly at Chao Yan.

Chao Yan was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.

He felt that his girlfriend's actions were indeed inappropriate.

But undeniably, her actions did prevent the conflict.

In a sense, she indirectly helped the victim. (End of Chapter)
