Chapter 5

At the entrance of the training ground of the security department on the first floor of Yongjia Hotel.

Lin Tian stood at the entrance, frowning as he looked at the middle-aged man blocking his way.

After leaving Jian Xinzhu's office, Lin Tian did not leave immediately but came to the security department. He needed to check the surveillance footage to find out who had pushed him down the stairs.

However,

Just as he reached the entrance of the security department, he was stopped by the man in front of him.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a security uniform, extremely robust, with a gaze as sharp as a knife, and an aura of ruthlessness and coldness emanating from his face.

Behind the middle-aged man was the indoor training ground of the security department, where dozens of security guards in uniform stood neatly. Intimidated by the middle-aged man's presence, even when they noticed Lin Tian's appearance, they did not dare to make any moves.

"Kid, this is a restricted area of the security department. If you have nothing to do here, leave quickly!"

The middle-aged man's voice was deep, with a hint of a dull and ruthless tone. An ordinary person would definitely be intimidated by him.

But Lin Tian remained unmoved, shook his head, and said calmly, "Sir, I would like to borrow and view the security department's surveillance footage from the past few days!"

"What did you say?"

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, thinking he had heard wrong, but his expression turned cold.

It was already noon, and the hotel had the fewest guests at this time. Many off-duty hotel employees had already noticed Lin Tian and the situation here, and a crowd had gathered.

Lin Tian's voice was not loud, but many people heard it and were shocked.

"Has Lin Tian's fall damaged his brain? How dare he ask to borrow the hotel's surveillance footage, which is confidential information!"

"This guy is really bold, actually asking Song Manshan for the security department's surveillance footage, it's like he's courting death!"

"Exactly, Song Manshan is a former member of the Chinese special forces. He is known for his bad temper, coldness, and strength in the hotel. A young man who claimed to be a bar owner once provoked him and ended up with both legs broken and thrown out of the hotel!"

"Shh, are you courting death, daring to call him by his name! If this guy knows when to back off and apologizes now, perhaps Song Minister won't hold it against him, otherwise..."

As the crowd discussed, many looked at the cold and stern Song Manshan and shuddered.

Some people, seemingly unable to bear it, kept signaling Lin Tian to leave quickly.

However, Lin Tian ignored the crowd's comments and gestures, and stared at Song Manshan with a smile, "I said I want to borrow and view the security department's surveillance footage!"

"Are you sure?"

Song Manshan's voice suddenly turned icy, and an extremely dangerous aura emanated from him. His eyes, like bloodthirsty blades, stared at Lin Tian. "Now, considering you were once an employee of our hotel, I will give you one chance, just one chance, to disappear from my sight. The Minister will spare you this time! Now, get lost!"

The word "get lost" was filled with astonishing ruthlessness and intimidation.

All the hotel employees watching were visibly shaken.

However, Lin Tian remained unmoved by Song Manshan's oppressive aura and reprimand, and smiled calmly, "I will also give you one chance. Let me through now, and I will take the surveillance footage. I will pretend this never happened!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Song Manshan seemed to laugh in anger, repeating the word "good" several times, his face showing a cruel and cold smile. He bared his teeth, and his body tensed, like a fierce beast about to pounce on its prey.

"Lin Tian, what are you doing!"

Suddenly, a sharp voice came from outside the crowd.

The crowd parted, and a beautiful woman in an OL suit with long black hair walked over.

It was Jian Xinzhu's close friend, the head of the human resources department of Yongjia Hotel, Su Yingxue.

She walked to Lin Tian's side, glared at him fiercely, and then smiled at Song Manshan, "Minister Song, this kid doesn't know the rules, there's no need to get so angry. I think this is all a misunderstanding!"

Seeing Su Yingxue, Song Manshan's aura suddenly paused, he frowned, and then shook his head, "Minister Su, this person is asking to view the hotel's surveillance footage without permission, which is against the rules! I have already given him one chance. However, since Minister Su is pleading for him, I will let him off this time!"

After saying this, Song Manshan coldly snorted at Lin Tian and turned to leave.

Seeing that Song Manshan was not going to hold it against him, Su Yingxue's expression finally relaxed, and the people around her also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing for Lin Tian.

"Wait!"

But at this moment, Lin Tian laughed lightly, shook his head, and said, "Minister Song, I said I want to borrow and view the surveillance footage, it's not a misunderstanding or a joke!"

After Lin Tian's words, everyone around him was stunned, looking at him with pity, as if he were a fool.

"You... You are beyond saving!"

Su Yingxue, who had just managed to persuade Song Manshan and resolve the misunderstanding, was now furious. She glared at Lin Tian, gritting her teeth.

Song Manshan also stopped, turned around, and looked at Lin Tian with a mocking smile, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Haha, fool! How dare you provoke Yongjia Hotel!"

A mocking laugh came from the crowd, and Zhao Xie, with a pale face and unsteady steps, walked over. His eyes, filled with ill intent, first scanned Su Yingxue, then landed on Lin Tian, and he sneered,

"Brat, it looks like you've become a fool after falling! Do you know the consequences of provoking Minister Song of our Yongjia Hotel?

"Let me tell you, a young man who insulted Minister Song with words was beaten and thrown out of the hotel with both legs broken...

"Another person who came to collect protection money was maimed by Minister Song...

"Several young masters from Bincheng who harassed our hotel's female employees were even castrated... Now you want to ask Minister Song for the hotel's surveillance footage?"

"Hehe!"

As he spoke, Zhao Xie looked at Song Manshan and said arrogantly, "Minister Song, you should teach this poor guy a lesson!"

Song Manshan looked at Zhao Xie indifferently and said, "Zhao Xie, although you are the son of a board member, you don't have the right to give me orders!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xie's face turned pale, but he did not dare to speak again. He was afraid of Song Manshan, knowing that if the latter went crazy, he would be the one to suffer.

Lin Tian paid no attention to Zhao Xie and continued to look at Song Manshan, "Will you take me to see the surveillance footage, or should I do it myself?"

"Good! Very good! If you're not afraid of death, come in!"

Song Manshan bared his teeth in a cold smile and walked into the security department's training ground. He did not want to use those bloody methods in front of so many people.

Lin Tian nodded to the anxious Su Yingxue and stepped in.

Watching the door of the security department's training ground close, Su Yingxue looked desperate and angry, "This fool is too arrogant and reckless, completely beyond saving. If it weren't for Xinzhu, I wouldn't bother pleading for him! Sigh, why hasn't Xinzhu come yet..."

"Yingxue, what happened? Where is Lin Tian?"

At this moment, Jian Xinzhu, who had received the news, rushed over, ignoring the fawning Zhao Xie, and asked urgently.

"He, he went in with Song Manshan..."

Su Yingxue sighed.

"What!"

Jian Xinzhu's face turned pale. She knew how powerful and ruthless Song Manshan was and said urgently, "Quick, get someone to open the door, tell them it's my order, Jian Xinzhu's order, hurry..."

However, before she could finish, Jian Xinzhu's face showed pain, and she fainted.

"Xinzhu!"

Su Yingxue screamed and caught the fainted Jian Xinzhu. The others around her panicked and quickly called for an ambulance.
