Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 842 - 424: Nie Jianghe, Let Me See Your Son Off (Part 2)

"Although I used Luo Meixiang, I also introduced her to a marriage prospect. The Luo Family shouldn't hold it against me, right?"

Nie Jianghe thought silently, revealing a hint of a triumphant smile, but his eyes involuntarily froze for a moment.

The crowd parted, and he saw Nie Hongchen standing off against a young man, while next to them was none other than Luo Meixiang.

"Mr. Lin?"

Nie Jianghe hadn't yet realized who this person was when a cry of surprise rang in his ears.

"Mr. Lin, where is Mr. Lin?"

Nie Jianghe was slightly taken aback and hurriedly asked.

As soon as Nie Jianghe spoke, the others were also momentarily stunned.

Who exactly is this Mr. Lin?

Even Nie Hongchen was taken aback.

Could it be that an even more distinguished figure than Nie Jianghe arrived at tonight's banquet?

This person couldn't possibly be Lin Beichen, could it?

Although this person also has the surname Lin, in front of his father, he is nothing more than a minor character.

While Nie Hongchen was contemplating this, he saw Nie Jianghe and Wang Chaolun hurriedly lean forward, looking at Lin Beichen with overwhelming excitement.

"Mr. Lin, it's unexpected and such an honor that you've graced us by attending my son's party. It's truly a blessing, a true blessing!"

Seeing Nie Jianghe's crazed enthusiasm, Lin Beichen could not be bothered to give him a glance.

Nie Jianghe was momentarily stunned, awkwardly raising his hand, unsure of what to do.

He quickly looked to Wang Chaolun, a look of plea on his face.

Having just received benefits from this person, Wang Chaolun naturally would not stand by idly and hurriedly stepped forward, saying:

"Mr. Lin, this is the chairman of International Entertainment. He's always admired you greatly and hopes to visit you when possible."

"Mr. Lin, how can my humble possessions compare to your significance? I merely admire your character and wish to learn from you."

Nie Jianghe appeared extremely humble.

To Nie Jianghe, there were few people on Xiang Island worth currying favor with. Whether it was the so-called official governor or leaders in various industries, they could only consider themselves his equals.

Let's not even mention his sworn brother.

The other party is a magnate in the financial circle, a single word from him could cause upheavals in the financial world. Someone once referred to his sworn brother as a billion-dollar golden mouth.

Fifteen years ago, he and his sworn brother were kidnapped together. It was he who remained calm in the face of danger, analyzing the psychological weaknesses of their captors and finding a point of attack, thus securing their rescue.

Afterwards, the other party, in gratitude, orchestrated the famous battle for International Entertainment.

Over two years, International Entertainment soared to the top, becoming the dominant force in Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

This incident was unsealed ten years later, and it established this person's nickname as the billion-dollar golden mouth.

When Nie Hongchen sees this person, he must respectfully call him uncle, but Nie Jianghe would only call him old chap.

At Nie Jianghe's age and status, there are not many people above him.

But when he sees Lin Beichen, Nie Jianghe is exceedingly respectful.

Merely using "respectful" might not be straightforward enough. In fact, after meeting Lin Beichen, Nie Jianghe is not just respectful, but actually humble.

His demeanor frightened all those around him.

Nie Hongchen had never seen his father so humble and stood there in a state of disbelief.

What's really happening? Have I had too much to drink and started dreaming?

How does father know Lin Beichen, and why be so respectful to him?

This person is just a small professor from the mainland, at most a team leader of a government project. What qualifies him to warrant such respect from father?

He could not comprehend, his mind filled with confusion.

For a moment, the crowd was dead silent, all eyes on Lin Beichen, filled with speculation, unable to deduce anything.

Liu Yunxi, Chen Fangzhi, Yu Mengjie, Yan Fuya, Yuan Yanan.

Everyone was looking at Lin Beichen in astonishment.

Among them, Chen Fangzhi reacted the fastest.

He first sensed something was off about Lin Beichen.

Even though Lin Beichen once again brought a surprise, Chen Fangzhi by now was accustomed to it.

Ever since knowing Lin Beichen, he has brought endless pleasant surprises, to the point where Chen Fangzhi was nearly numb to them.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Nie Hongchen couldn't help but speak.

Nie Hongchen's shout instantly reminded Nie Jianghe. Reflecting on the earlier scene, he felt his hair standing on end and quickly said:

"Mr. Lin, this is my son Nie Hongchen. He's still young and ignorant, please don't hold it against him."

Nie Jianghe discreetly signaled with his eyes, finding Nie Hongchen still clueless, he suddenly slapped him and harshly said:

"You brat, where's your usual cleverness? This is Mr. Lin. Haven't you always wanted to meet Uncle Lin? Quick, call him uncle!"

Uncle Lin—this guy looks younger than me; why should I call him uncle?

And what is he, just a poor lad from the mainland, worthy of being my elder?

Nie Hongchen appeared puzzled, but his father's years of pressure kept him silent.

At that moment, someone nearby apparently recognized Lin Beichen, their face changed drastically, and hurriedly whispered something into Nie Hongchen's ear.

Their voice was too low for others to hear, but Nie Hongchen did.

In an instant, Nie Hongchen tensed like a startled cat, his eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Lin Beichen.

"You are Lin Beichen?"

"The legendary Lin Beichen who killed Master Zhou and annihilated the Zheng Clan?"

Nie Hongchen said in fear.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room burst into an uproar.

Everyone looked at Lin Beichen incredulously, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

Recently, Lin Beichen's legends have been circulating within Xiang Island's high society.

Rumor has it that he arrived in Xiang Island merely a few days ago and had already taken down two major figures.

One was Feng Shui Master Zhou, the other a family that dominated for decades.

"So he is Lin Beichen, how can he be so young?"

"You fool! Even Nie Jianghe recognized him, how can it be fake?"

"I can't believe it. Just for offending this person, the Zheng Clan turned to ashes overnight."

The crowd engaged in intense discussions, eager to scrutinize Lin Beichen from every angle, attempting to decipher why Lin Beichen possesses such abilities.

Lin Beichen's appearance was dazzling.

One was Xiang Island's top Feng Shui Master, the other a colossal family worth hundreds of billions.

Either one alone was the pinnacle in their respective circles.

In their traditional thinking, even if all Xiang Island collapsed, these two would remain unscathed.

Even after hundreds of years, these two would still occupy the upper echelons, never faltering.

Family wealth rarely lasted beyond three generations—that was an ancient belief.

Under the modern financial system, even if a family stagnates for over a century, as long as it doesn't die out, it can still safely collect rents thanks to various monopolistic advantages upheld by the financial structure.

They occupy top positions, holding enormous resources, needing to do little. Simply keeping resources at home is enough to enjoy the era's dividends.

In the visible future, as long as no world war endangering human civilization breaks out, this rule won't be rewritten.

And even if rewritten, they'd still be courted by others.

But it was this traditional notion that was shattered with Lin Beichen's arrival.

Feng Shui Master Zhou challenged Lin Beichen, unleashing the Power of Heaven and Earth, only to be fatally defeated.

The Zheng Clan thought they could bully Lin Beichen over a hundred billion deal, dismissing it all as a bluff, but they never expected their downfall.

All this happened in just a few days.

In merely two days, both factions had crumbled, yet Lin Beichen didn't monopolize their benefits but chose to distribute them, keeping only his rightful share.

This incident was remarkable because, aside from those two doomed factions, everyone else benefited.

Thus, despite having only spent a few days in Xiang Island, Lin Beichen had already won the recognition of all major forces.

While ordinary citizens might still oppose Lin Beichen's mainland background, it is inconsequential.

The upper echelons have already decided, and coupled with the mainland's rising prominence, Lin Beichen had become a target for alliance by various forces.
