Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 250 A Letter from Wugensheng

1945, spring.

Zhao Zhen, who had just returned from escorting a batch of supplies, hadn't even had a chance to rest when Yu Yang hurriedly summoned her to his office.

"Chairman Zhao, something's happened!"

"Ok?"

Zhao Zhen frowned, took a sip of water, and said in a slow and deliberate tone, "Don't rush, tell me slowly, what happened?"

"Just this morning, Master Zhang and Miss Duanmu both received a message from the Qing Dynasty official they were dealing with!"

"A proclamation? Doesn't that mean the message comes from the other thirty-six thieves?"

Zhao Zhen raised an eyebrow, a serious look flashing in his eyes.

"Master Zhang said that this news came from Wugensheng!"

"Rootless?!"

Zhao Zhen sat up abruptly from her chair, unable to maintain her composure any longer.

Yes, it's been a year, and it's indeed time to move on to the next step in Wugensheng's plan...

"Where are they?"

"Master Zhou set off immediately after receiving the news."

Zhao Zhen was not surprised at all by Zhou Sheng's sudden departure.

Zhou Sheng is used to a life of leisure and wandering, and it's impossible for him to be content to stay in Kouju Tong for the rest of his life.

Although he had promised Zhao Zhen that he would stay in Nadutong for five years, it did not mean that he had completely lost his freedom.

During these five years, Zhao Zhen would not stop him from going wherever he wanted, which was something they had agreed on from the beginning.

"What about the others?"

"Master Zhang and Miss Duanmu haven't set off yet; they're waiting for you to return."

"Call them over."

"Ok."

A moment later, Zhang Huaiyi and Duanmu Ying, along with their group, entered Zhao Zhen's office with complicated expressions.

"Chairman Zhao..."

Zhang Huaiyi was about to speak when Zhao Zhen raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I've already heard about this from Yu Yang, so what are your thoughts?"

Zhang Huaiyi and the others exchanged glances, but no one was the first to step forward and speak.

After a long while, Zhao Tianhai, who was standing to the side, suddenly gritted his teeth.

"Chairman Zhao, I don't plan to go this time."

"why?"

Zhao Zhen glanced at him with some surprise.

"During this time, I have been reflecting on why Pingshan and I ended up in such a miserable state overnight."

Hirayama died tragically, and Benzai and I were forced to leave Tiangongtang. If it weren't for Chairman Zhao's help, we probably wouldn't have escaped either.

Perhaps that sworn brotherhood was a mistake in itself, and the bitter consequences of our impulsive actions have already been far too many.

I have already harmed everyone at Tiangongtang, and I have already let down my master and fellow disciples at Tiangongtang once, so I don’t want to let you down again, Chairman Zhao.

Since I promised you I would stay with All-Telecom, I won't cause you any more trouble. That's my choice.

Zhao Zhen didn't say anything, but got up and patted Zhao Tianhai on the shoulder.

"Your willingness to reclaim land from the sea is enough, but joining Nadutong does not mean you will lose your freedom."

You are still you, each and every one of you, independent individuals. Whatever choices you make, the company will support you.

"Chairman Zhao, please don't try to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up. I will never have anything to do with Wugensheng again in this life!"

Looking at Zhao Tianhai's resolute expression, Zhang Huaiyi and his group fell silent once again.

After a moment, Zhang Huaiyi finally spoke slowly: "Chairman Zhao, I must attend this gathering."

"why?"

"Because there's something I have to figure out!" Zhao Zhen gave Zhang Huaiyi a deep look. He knew that the "truth" behind this sworn brotherhood had always been a thorn in Zhang Huaiyi's side.

Given his personality, he certainly wouldn't let this thorn remain stuck in his heart.

"If you want to go, then go."

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly at Zhang Huaiyi.

“Chairman Zhao, I also have to go there, because Fourth Brother… that is, Wugensheng, said that he has a patient who needs my treatment.”

"okay."

Zhao Zhen smiled and agreed to Duanmu Ying's request.

"Chairman Zhao, it's me too..."

"Go."

Before Ma Ben could finish speaking, Zhao Zhen interrupted him directly.

"I'll say it again: whatever decision you make, the company will support you, and of course, I will too."

But before that, you have to agree to one condition.

"What conditions?"

"Come back alive."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huaiyi and the other two were slightly taken aback, and their noses began to sting with tears.

"Chairman Zhao..."

"Alright, Huaiyi, Yingzi and Benzai don't have any means of self-defense, so their safety is in your hands."

"Don't worry, even if it costs me my life, I won't let them get hurt!"

Zhang Huaiyi spoke with unwavering resolve.

"Okay, go ahead then, and come back soon."

After bidding farewell to Zhao Zhen, Zhang Huaiyi and the other two also left Nadutong one after another.

Watching the three figures gradually disappear into the distance, Yu Yang couldn't help but frown.

"Chairman Zhao, are you just going to let them go see Wugensheng like this?"

"if not?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and shrugged.

"That Wugensheng is a jinx; anyone who comes into contact with him will get into huge trouble!"

Now that Master Zhang and his group have finally settled down in our area, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause this time they go!

Now the Wang family and the Shuzi Sect are keeping a close eye on us, so we don't even dare to take in any more of the Thirty-Six Thieves.

If something goes wrong at this critical juncture, wouldn't that indirectly give the Wang family a reason to attack us?

"You're right, but they have legs. Can you stop them from going wherever they want?"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"Some things are destined to happen, just like the sorcerers often say about seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. Since they cannot be avoided, we might as well go with the flow."

"But I still think this is too dangerous. If something really happens, can Master Zhang really protect Miss Duanmu and Brother Benzai by himself?"

"So I plan to follow them secretly."

"what?"

Zhao Zhen blinked and patted Yu Yang on the shoulder.

"Old Yu, I'm entrusting the company to you while I'm away."

Remember, the company's task this year is simple: gradually shift your focus away from the Japanese and towards their higher-ups. Do you understand what I mean?

"Chairman Zhao, you mean..."

"That's right, this war is almost over, and we should start preparing for the next one."

Starting this year, our situation at All-Access will definitely become increasingly difficult, but remember, as long as we weather these next few years, a bright future awaits us!

"understand!"
