Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 295: Was it that they didn't call out, or that they dared not call out?

Upon entering Zhenjiang, the damp river breeze, carrying a faint fishy smell and the scent of earth, hits you in the face.

This ancient riverside town appears peaceful, but the air is filled with a sense of anxiety, prying eyes, and impending storm.

"Chairman Zhao!"

A middle-aged man with a sharp face, wearing a standard Allway jacket, quickly came to greet them.

"you are?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes. Hadn't he already told Yu Yang not to alarm the people below?

"Chairman Zhao, my name is Zhou Zhengyang, and I work at our headquarters."

Zhou Zhengyang lowered his voice and winked at Zhao Zhen, but his brows also showed a hint of anxiety and restraint that he could not hide.

"Someone from headquarters?"

Zhao Zhen raised an eyebrow, but quickly realized that Zhou Zhengyang was probably a "spy" secretly sent to the branch by Yu Yang.

It seems Yu Yang has never truly trusted the local branches...

“I received a telegram from Secretary Yu at headquarters saying that you might be coming to Zhenjiang, so they specifically asked me to come here to pick you up so that it would be easier to help you with your work in Zhenjiang.”

"Well, hard work."

Zhao Zhen nodded, a smile appearing on her lips.

Yu Yang is a cunning fellow, more scheming than a hornet's nest.

"Chairman Zhao, are you on your way to inspect our Jiangsu branch?"

"No rush, tell me first, where are the people from the Trinity Sect now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengyang subconsciously lowered his voice.

"I arrived last night and stayed at the 'Sanjiang Inn' in the east of the city."

As soon as Master Wu arrived, he sent his disciples to inquire about news everywhere, causing quite a stir and making some people in the local minor sects feel uneasy.

but……"

He hesitated for a moment, his face showing difficulty.

"It is said that the harvest was not great. The source of the news of 'Wugensheng appearing' was already unclear. It was just that someone claimed to have personally witnessed Wugensheng appearing."

With just this one clue, let alone the Trinity Sect being new to the area, even we are struggling to investigate, like trying to catch a fish swimming in water – we have no way to use our strength.

"As expected."

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly. This kind of baseless tactic is the most disgusting. It's hard to find any evidence against someone, but it's extremely easy to stir up people's hearts.

People with deep-seated obsessions like Chengzhen are the moths most easily attracted to them.

"Arrange accommodation for me near the Sanyi Gate."

"Yes!"

Zhou Zhengyang nodded and was about to go do what Zhao Zhen had asked him to do, but the next second Zhao Zhen called him back.

"Where did Wugensheng appear in that message?"

"It's on that small street in the east of the city, very close to the Sanjiang Inn where Wu Menchang and the others are staying."

"Okay, I see."

After settling everything in, Zhao Zhen did not rush to see Cheng Zhen.

He changed into inconspicuous casual clothes and strolled along a small street in the east of the city.

Zhao Zhen's gaze swept around the area without any specific target, as if trying to capture the "dissonant" notes in the region.

Sure enough, after the news spread, undercurrents began to surge throughout the entire eastern part of the city.

On the second floor of the teahouse, by the window, sat several men with restrained demeanor and sharp eyes. They appeared to be ordinary business travelers, but they frequently glanced at the pedestrians on the street, as if waiting for something.

On the dock further away, a few men dressed as porters seemed to be walking with heavy, unsteady steps, but in reality, their gait contained the strength and rhythm of martial arts practitioners.

"Whose side could it be?" Zhao Zhen continued strolling calmly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

After observing the surrounding environment for a while, he returned to his residence.

"Wugensheng, Wugensheng, even though you've been dead for so long, can you still still shake the world?"

……

As darkness fell, Zhao Zhen finally knocked on Chengzhen's door at the Sanjiang Inn.

The door opened, and the moment Chengzhen saw Zhao Zhen, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashed in her eyes, which quickly turned into a deep and complex emotion.

"Chairman Zhao? What are you doing here?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you, Senior Brother Chengzhen, that question?"

"Come in first..."

Suppressing his anger, Zhao Zhen was led into the room by Cheng Zhen with a blank expression.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy. Several unfamiliar disciples of the Sanyi Sect stood solemnly to one side, their expressions not very good.

Zhao Zhen glanced around at the disciples and, noticing that Lu Jin wasn't among them, asked, "Didn't Lu Jin come with you, Senior Brother Chengzhen?"

“Junior Brother Lu has been busy with family matters lately, so I haven’t called him.”

"Did they not call out, or were they afraid to call out?"

Zhao Zhen suddenly questioned him sharply.

Including the previous two times, this is the third time he has had to clean up Chengzhen's messes.

Even a clay figure has some temper; Zhao Zhen isn't Cheng Zhen's nanny!
If it weren't for Master Zuo's dying wish, Zhao Zhen would have long since given up on Cheng Zhen's messy affairs!

As Zhao Zhen finished speaking, before Cheng Zhen could even open his mouth, a disciple beside him couldn't help but frown and say:
"Chairman Zhao, even if you are the chairman of All-Tongue, you can't be this rude to the head of Sany!"

"shut up!"

Chengzhen reprimanded the disciple, then waved to the other disciples present.

"You all can leave now. I need to speak with Chairman Zhao alone."

"Yes, master..."

After all the disciples had left, a mocking smile gradually appeared on Zhao Zhen's lips.

"It seems that the Trinity Sect has indeed recruited quite a few new people in recent years?"

Chengzhen naturally heard the sarcasm in Zhao Zhen's words, but chose to ignore it.

"Actually, since my master passed away, very few people have come to our Sanyi Sect to become disciples..."

"So, this is why you came down the mountain. You still want to use Wugensheng to help you break through the third level?"

"That's right. Only by truly breaking through to the third level can I live up to my master's expectations and revitalize the Sanyi Sect!"

At this point, Chengzhen's expression suddenly became extremely excited.

Zhao Zhen stood up and gave Cheng Zhen a deep look, his profound gaze seemingly able to see through all the thoughts in the deepest recesses of her heart.

"To live up to the trust of our late teacher? What a wonderful way to say it!"
Before Master Zuo passed away, he repeatedly gave you his instructions, but now you don't mention them at all.

Whether it's for the Left Gate Master, for the Three Ones Sect, or for your own inner obsession with the Threefold Sect, only you know the answer!

"Senior Brother Chengzhen, I'll say it again: were you present when Master Zuo instructed Li Muxuan back then?"

"Present."

"And how much of what Master Zuo said back then do you remember?"

Upon hearing this, Chengzhen immediately fell silent.

"The most important thing in being a person is sincerity. If you can't even face your own heart and treat yourself with sincerity, how can you talk about treating others with sincerity?"
