As Li Yalin spoke, his anger red, interrupting Charlie before he could respond. “Of course I’m not reconciled! I just learned that my daughter is pregnant! I was about to move back in with their mothers when I was taken out before I could even leave the gym. And now, here we are—can you really expect me to be reconciled?”<fna3ec> The rightful source is </fna3ec>


    Charlie shook his head with a smile and replied, “What I want you to understand is that even though your body has been beaten badly, your head was fortunate enough to escape a bullet. If a bullet had struck your Tianling Gai at that moment, effectively destroying your brain, you would have truly died.”


    Li Yalin looked at Charlie with suspicion. “What do you mean by that?”


    Charlie gestured toward the imposing stainless steel freezing jars surrounding them and said with a light smile, “Take a good look at these jars; they are specifically designed for freezing human bodies. You should pay special attention to Jar No. 7, as you were preserved in this very jar.”


    Li Yalin stared in disbelief at the stainless steel tanks. “Frozen? What does that even mean?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie continued to exin, “First of all, you’re lucky. When you were attacked, many on the other side were killed, yet no one managed to shoot you in the head, allowing your brain to survive;”


    Pointing to Fei Kexin, who stood behind him, he added, “Secondly, you owe a debt of gratitude to Miss Fei. If she hadn’t rushed you to the Fei family’s freezing center, your body would have already begun to decay.”


    It was at this moment that Li Yalin noticed a few individuals standing behind Charlie, including Fei Kexin from the Fei family!


    “Wait…” Li Yalin gasped, a look of shock washing over his face as he turned to Charlie. “But that still doesn’t exin how I’m alive! Scientifically speaking, there’s no way anyone could heal my injuries. And I’ve never heard of a scientific process that can thaw a frozen person and bring them back to normal. They are frozen first, and whether they can be revived is another discussion…”


    Suddenly, realization dawned on him. “Oh… I see! I finally get it!”


    His excitement grew as he continued, “What you’re saying is that I must still be in a frozen state, right? The reason I can still think and feel now isn’t because souls persist after death, but because I was frozen while my brain hasn’tpletely died. So, all of this—meeting you and Miss Fei—must be imagined by me while I’m in thatrge jar!”


    He pointed decisively at the massive No. 7 tank, asserting, “The real me, my frozen body, must still be in that tank, correct?”


    Charlie chuckled softly, turning to Fei Kexin and the others, asking, “Is this really so hard to grasp? After all this discussion, he still can’t distinguish between reality and imagination.”


    To his surprise, everyone nodded in a dazed yet resolute manner.


    Don Albert murmured, “Master Wade… If I were in his shoes, I might not be able to handle it as well. This guy makes a certain amount of sense; he seems more logical than me…”


    As bystanders, they found the entire situation utterly incredible.


    Seeing the stunned expressions around him, Charlie turned back to Li Yalin and said calmly, “Li Yalin, if we’re going to discuss science, let’s do so from a factual standpoint. How long do you think the human brain can survive without blood supply?”


    Li Yalin answered without hesitation, “Five minutes! At most, five minutes! After working as a criminal police detective for several years, I can say that if the brain is deprived of oxygen for more than five minutes, irreversible damage urs. After five minutes, the likelihood of brain death bes almost certain. Even if the body were revived, a person who experiences brain death would never wake up; that’s generally what happens with vegetative states.”


    Charlie nodded and replied, “Now think back to your encounter with those militants. After you fell, although I acted quickly, it still took me two to three minutes to deal with them. So, half of your critical time had already psed!”


    “In that case, even if I had a freezer handy and could put you in it immediately, it would take time for your brain to cool down from over 30 degrees Celsius to below freezing. By the time your brain froze, don’t forget, more than five minutes could have passed—perhaps even fifteen!”


    “And remember, this freezing center is over 100 kilometers from New York City; even by helicopter, it would take at least half an hour to get there.”


    “So, even if you had been sent to the freezer at the first possible moment, you should have already been brain-dead by the time you arrived. How could you still maintain your current awareness?”
