Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 287 The innocent will remain innocent?
With Zhao Zhen's command, the side door of the venue was suddenly flung open.

Four employees of NaDuTong laboriously carried a "metal frame" and hurried forward.

The iron frame was covered with densely packed talismans, and the seat was made of refined steel, faintly exuding fluctuations that imprisoned true qi.

This is the "magical tool"—the wide stool—secretly developed by Zhao Tianhai, director of the R&D department of Nadutong, that can detect whether the person being interrogated is lying!

"Chairman Zhao, what is this?"

Hu Tu asked, his face grim.

"Master Hu, as you can see, this is a magical artifact developed by my Nadutong R&D Department, called the 'Congkuan Stool'."

As the name suggests, those who confess will be treated leniently, while those who resist will be punished severely.

Once you sit on this stool, no lie will be able to hide.

Zhao Zhen smiled and began to explain.

"Hmph! When did such a magical artifact appear in the world of supernatural beings? How come we've never heard of it before?"

Hu Tu snorted coldly, his words filled with doubt about the "lenient bench".

"Several seniors from the Heavenly Craft Hall are present today. With their expertise in weapon crafting, they can naturally verify whether this 'broad-bench' is truly effective."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Ye, the head of the Tiangong Hall, slowly stood up from the crowd and led several disciples of the Tiangong Hall to the front of the wide bench under the gaze of everyone.

A moment later, after Mo Ye finished his inspection, he announced to the public: "Everyone, this item is indeed a magical artifact, and it does have the effect of detecting lies. What Chairman Zhao said is true."

With Tiangongtang's certification, even if Hu Tu was unwilling, he dared not question Congkuandeng anymore.

After all, if there is any further questioning, then the questioning will not be about Congkuan Bench, but about the technology and craftsmanship of Rentian Gongtang!
Seeing that no one else was jumping out, Zhao Zhen's gaze swept across the Shuzi Sect, Yiqi Stream, and other factions with sharp eyes.

"Since you all claim to be from prestigious families, do you dare to let the young master of the Wang family prove his innocence in public?"

In an instant, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Hu Tu and the others turned pale, and cold sweat gradually soaked their backs.

Their disciples' involvement in the massacre of the village must not be exposed!
If Wang Ai is forced to sit on this stool, the truth will surely come to light!
At that time, Zhao Zhen will surely hold everyone involved accountable by citing the agreement that "superhumans are strictly prohibited from attacking ordinary people"!
Seeing that no one had spoken for a long time, Zhao Zhen immediately shouted.

"Zheng Zibu!"

Zhao Zhen suddenly shouted.

"Release Wang Ai."

Upon hearing Zhao Zhen's order, Zheng Zibu withdrew without hesitation.

The employees of Nadutong immediately stepped forward, lifted up Wang Ai who was still unconscious, and forcibly pressed her onto a bench!

"stop!!!"

Wang Li suddenly charged forward, and the Divine Ink Dragon from his sleeve roared out!

But just as Mo Long was about to touch Wang Ai, a giant golden palm struck first.

boom!
Zhang Zhiwei's golden hand transformed into a towering barrier, crushing the ink dragon!

As the air surged, his black Taoist robe fluttered violently.

“Patriarch Wang, the innocent will remain innocent. If Zheng Zibu is indeed slandering the Wang family, then I will take action on your behalf today and personally kill him. What do you say?”

Wang Li clenched his fists so tightly they cracked. He knew that once Wang Ai sat in that chair, everything would be over!

After all, Wang Ai didn't have the same powerful protective restrictions as Feng Tianyang...

As Wang Ai drew ever closer to the bench, just as his obese body was about to be pressed down onto it, Wang Li seemed to age twenty years in an instant, and spoke in a hoarse voice:

“Stop. There’s no need to interrogate my son anymore. I admit that I did indeed instruct my clansmen to carry out the massacre of Zhengjia Village…”

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall instantly fell silent. Everyone stared in disbelief at Wang Li, the head of the Wang family, in the center of the room. "This... how is this possible?"

"The massacre of Zhengjia Village was actually committed by the Wang family?!"

"Why? Those are the lives of more than fifty innocent people! Just to force Zheng Zibu to show himself and obtain the Eight Extraordinary Techniques from him?"

"It's a shame that they're one of the four families with a thousand-year history. How is the Wang family any different from that Quanxing demon?"

……

In an instant, the crowd was filled with indignation, and almost everyone began to glare angrily at the Wang family.

Wang Li's expression remained unchanged since the beginning of the session; he was calm to the point of being somewhat frightening.

"Gentlemen, I admit that I was indeed bewitched by the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, which is why I committed such an outrageous act."

However, no matter how big a mistake I made, it was all my doing and had nothing to do with my son, Wang Ai.

All the blame for this shall be borne by me, Wang Li alone.

After Wang Li finished speaking in a calm tone, he then looked at Zhao Zhen, who was standing to the side.

"Zhao Zhen, you were indeed more skilled this time, but remember, although my Wang family lost, it doesn't mean you won..."

Zhao Zhen gave Wang Li a deep look, and was about to say something, but the next second, a spurt of blood suddenly gushed from Wang Li's mouth.

"Homeowner!"

The Wang family was shocked. Before anyone could react, a flash of golden light appeared, and Zhao Zhen's hand was already on Wang Li's wrist.

"He actually severed his own heart meridian..."

As Zhao Zhen slowly lowered the wrist of the already dead Wang Li, his expression gradually turned gloomy.

The decisiveness and ruthlessness that Wang Li displayed at the last moment were something even Zhao Zhen never expected.

At the same time, Lü Ren, Lu Xuan, and others also gathered around.

Looking at Wang Li, who was now lifeless in the crowd, a complex emotion flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

"Brother Wang, why did it have to come to this..."

Taking advantage of the chaos on the field, Yu Yang quietly approached Zhao Zhen.

Looking at Wang Li's corpse in front of him, Yu Yang's brows furrowed slightly.

"Chairman Zhao, this..."

"Don't say anything, just arrange for Zheng Zibu to leave."

"understand!"

After Yu Yang left, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Although he managed to force Wang Li to his death without bloodshed, this was not the outcome he originally desired.

What Zhao Zhen wanted was to use Wang Ai's words to completely implicate the Wang family and the Shuzi Sect, thus exposing their true colors and making it easier to carry out a "cleansing" of these sects later.

But now, this idea has completely fallen apart with Wang Li's extremely decisive death.

No one expected that Wang Li, as the head of the Wang family, would so decisively choose to commit suicide.

With his death, it will likely be difficult to hold these sects accountable for the Zhengjia Village incident.

After all, the head of the Renwang family has already committed suicide to atone for his sins. If we continue to dwell on this matter, it would be somewhat like being unreasonable and unforgiving.
