Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 246: The Wang Family
In the suburbs, in front of Zhao Pingshan's tomb.

Looking at Zhao Tianhai, who was kneeling in front of Zhao Pingshan's tomb and refused to get up, Zhang Huaiyi also let out a long sigh.

"Why did things turn out like this...?"

"What do you think?"

Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhang Huaiyi.

“I know it was wrong of us thirty-five to secretly form a sworn brotherhood with Wugensheng without our sect’s knowledge. Punishment or even crippling our cultivation is fine, but they really don’t deserve to die…”

"Things in this world are never as simple as you think. It's like a small pebble on a mountain. You can easily kick it away, but making it stop again is not so easy."

"Chairman Zhao, tell me, how exactly did we get to this point?"

"You're asking me?"

A strange smile appeared on Zhao Zhen's face.

"I have many questions in my mind, but I don't know who to ask for answers. After thinking it over, I can only say that it's you, Chairman Zhao."

"do not know."

With just three simple words, Zhang Huaiyi swallowed all his questions.

"However, no matter what situation a person is in, they should never keep looking back, because that's completely useless."

The ancients understood the principle that "what's past cannot be changed, but the future can be shaped."

"You mean I shouldn't regret the things I've done in the past?"

Zhang Huaiyi glanced at Zhao Zhen beside him with some confusion.

"What's there to regret?"

Zhao Zhen shrugged.

"Whatever decision or judgment you made at that time, it must have been the optimal solution after considering all factors."

Judging one's past self from today's perspective is inherently unfair.

"Isn't that unfair...?"

Zhang Huaiyi slowly lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

A moment later, Zhao Tianhai slowly stood up with Ma Benzai's help.

"Chairman Zhao, thank you for helping my brother get a proper burial."

"polite."

"You saved our lives. From now on, if you have any orders, Mr. Zhao, we will go through fire and water for you."

However, before that, I have one more condition, and I hope Chairman Zhao will agree to it.

"Well, you said."

"If we find out who betrayed us, make sure that person is spared. I want to use his head to appease my brother's spirit in heaven!"

"Okay, I agree."

Zhao Zhen nodded, then smiled slightly at the two of them.

"Welcome to Nadutong, you two. From today onwards, our Nadutong R&D Department is officially established!"

"Ok!"

……

After calming down Zhao Tianhai and Ma Benzai, Zhao Zhen slowly walked to Lu Huizhong's side.

Before she could even open her mouth, Lu Huizhong had already discerned Zhao Zhen's intentions.

"Got to go?"

"Yes, thank you very much, Sister Lu."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

"No, I'm just following the sect leader's orders."

Lu Huizhong waved her hand dismissively.

"I appreciate Master Tang's kind intentions. Please tell him, Sister Lu, that if he ever needs anything from me, Zhao Zhen, he should let me know." "Come on, what help can you possibly give the Tang Clan? You should worry about yourself first."

"Your entire organization is hiding so many thirty-six thieves. Once discovered, not only will they be in trouble, but your organization itself will be in grave danger!"

"Thank you for reminding me, Sister Lu. Don't worry, I will be careful."

"Alright, I should go back and report now."

"Do you need me to send you off?"

"No need, there's no rush. We can just walk back slowly."

"Be careful on the road."

After watching Lu Huizhong's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Zhao Tianhai couldn't help but sigh:

"Speaking of which, our Chairman Zhao really has a lot of influence, to the point that he can get the Tang Clan to help him kill someone."

"What face? It's just a matter of each getting what they need."

Zhao Zhen smiled and shook her head.

In a sense, the Tang Clan and they were in the same boat.

As long as Xu Xin is alive, the Tang Clan will not be able to completely stand on the opposite side.

The Tang Clan has no reason not to understand the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold." If Na Du Tong, who protected the Thirty-Six Thieves, falls first, will the fire then spread to the Tang Clan again?

So helping Na Du Tong is actually helping the Tang Clan themselves!

"Alright, we've been out for so long, it's time to go back."

After saying that, Zhao Zhen patted each of them on the shoulder in turn.

With flashes of golden light, the figures of the group vanished in front of the tombstone.
-
A month later.

Zhao Zhen, who was discussing with Ma Ben how to build the Nadutong weapon refining department, was suddenly called out by Yu Yang.

"what happened?"

Zhao Zhen asked with some confusion.

"Chairman Zhao, the Wang family has arrived."

"Oh? They've finally arrived?"

Zhao Zhen's eyes flickered, and then he led Yu Yang toward the reception hall.

"Patriarch Wang! I was unaware of your presence and have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me, Patriarch Wang!"

Before he even entered the room, Zhao Zhen's hearty laughter reached the ears of Wang Li, the head of the Wang family.

"Chairman Zhao, you're too kind. I came uninvited, so it has nothing to do with you."

Wang Li smiled slightly, then winked at the fat man behind him.

"Wang Ai greets Chairman Zhao."

"So it's Brother Wang! Long time no see! I never imagined that after all these years, you would still be so robust!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ai's expression changed drastically. He felt that Zhao Zhen's words were deliberately mocking him for being fat!

Inside the reception room, the aroma of tea wafted through the air, but the atmosphere was as tense as a bowstring, completely at odds with the rising steam.

With a gentle and polite smile on his face, Zhao Zhen sat in the main seat, his gaze calmly sweeping over Wang Li, the head of the Wang family, and Wang Ai, the fat man beside him with a gloomy face and eyes as sticky as a venomous snake.

"The presence of Patriarch Wang is a great honor to our humble abode. Please take a seat and try our company's new tea."

Zhao Zhen personally poured tea for Wang Li, his movements fluid and natural, as if he were entertaining an old friend who had come from afar.

Wang Li also revealed a faint smile. Although Wang Li is now old and wrinkles have appeared at the corners of his eyes, he cannot hide the majesty of a patriarch of a noble family and the sharpness of his restraint.

"Chairman Zhao, you are too kind. Under your leadership, Na Du Tong has been thriving and its reputation has soared. In a short period of time, it has become quite influential. I have long admired it and have come to pay my respects."

After saying that, Wang Li slowly picked up the teacup, but did not drink it.

His gaze lingered on the warm tea for a moment, as if he were pondering how to begin.

"Patriarch Wang is very busy, so his personal visit today must be for some important matters to discuss?"
