Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 305 The True Face of "Rootless Life"

As Zhao Zhen finished speaking, the once noisy inn instantly fell silent.

"Chairman Zhao, I never expected you to show up in person..."

The speaker was the innkeeper.

As soon as he took off his glasses and put down his abacus, his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation.

"you are?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes.

"I am Lü Yan from the Lü family."

Lu Yan respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"The Lü family? You really are everywhere!"

Lu Yan naturally understood the sarcasm in Zhao Zhen's tone, but as a junior member of the Lu family, he had no right to retort in the face of such a huge difference in status, so he could only give an awkward smile.

"Isn't this junior merely following the orders of the patriarch? I wonder if Chairman Zhao's personal visit this time is also for the sake of Wugensheng upstairs?"

"Yes and no."

Zhao Zhen nodded noncommittally.

"Yes? No?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Lü Yan's eyes.

"I'm here to demand an explanation for the Sanyi comrades who were ambushed by the Quanxing demons yesterday."

"A fellow Daoist from the Sanyi Sect was ambushed by the Quanxing Sect?"

Lu Yan asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's located in a back alley in the city, and you didn't know?"

"Reporting to Chairman Zhao, I have been lying in wait in the vicinity for the past few days, trying to find out about Wugensheng. I really know nothing about what is happening in the outside world."

Zhao Zhen gave Lü Yan a deep look, and then said nothing more.

"Rootless growth on top?"

"Yes, a fellow Daoist from the Huode Sect witnessed it firsthand."

Our people have already surrounded this place, but just in case, I still notified the rest of the Lü family to come here, after all, this demon is indeed quite powerful.

However, now that Chairman Zhao has personally come, the outcome is even more certain.

"You saw it with your own eyes... Then I'll go up and see if it's true or not!"

After saying that, Zhao Zhen went straight upstairs.

Just as Zhao Zhen stepped onto the stairs, a sound of a broken window suddenly came from the room upstairs!

boom!
"The devil jumped out of the window and escaped!"

A loud shout came from outside the inn, followed by the sounds of fierce fighting.

"not good!"

Lu Yan's expression changed, and he didn't even care about Zhao Zhen beside him. He quickly turned around and rushed out of the inn.

At the same time, all the guests and waiters who were eating in the inn stood up and rushed out of the inn with Lü Yan.

In the blink of an eye, the entire inn went from being packed with people to being completely empty.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhao Zhen's lips twitched slightly.

However, unlike the others, he did not rush out immediately after hearing the news. Instead, he glanced thoughtfully at the room upstairs.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Zhen decided to continue going upstairs.

The room directly opposite the second-floor staircase was now wide open. Upon entering, the room was in a mess, and the window had been forcibly smashed, leaving a large hole.

Clearly, that's how the people in the room broke out through the window.

Zhao Zhen walked slowly to the window and looked out through the large hole in it.

Outside was a flat, open street, not exactly an easy place to escape. Even if the person in the room wasn't Wugensheng, and even if he were a conman using Wugensheng's name, would someone with the guts to impersonate him do something so stupid?
The man did this as if he was deliberately trying to attract everyone's attention.

But what exactly was his purpose in doing this?
squeak~
Just as Zhao Zhen was pondering to himself, the wooden door of the next room suddenly opened, and a man with a full beard walked out.

As the bearded man passed by Zhao Zhen's room, he glanced inside. In the instant their eyes met, Zhao Zhen clearly saw the shock in the man's eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Zhen flashed and instantly appeared in front of the bearded man.

"Who are you? What do you want?!"

A look of panic flashed across the bearded man's face, and his eyes darted away, as if he didn't dare to meet Zhao Zhen's gaze at all.

"If you don't recognize me, why are you panicking?"

A faint smile appeared on Zhao Zhen's lips as she looked the bearded man in front of her up and down.

It's almost certain that he doesn't recognize the person in front of him.

But this guy just happened to appear at this inn, and while everyone was chasing after the fake "Wugensheng," he planned to leave quietly. If you said he had nothing to do with this matter, Zhao Zhen would never believe it even if you beat him to death.

"You suddenly appeared in front of me like a ghost, how could I not panic?"

Zhao Zhen didn't speak, but looked deeply into the stubble-faced man's eyes before softly saying, "Yingzi, is that you?"

Upon hearing those words, the stubble-faced man's pupils contracted sharply.

After a moment of silence, he slowly nodded.

"Chairman Zhao, how did you recognize me?"

After hearing Duanmu Ying admit her identity, all the doubts that had troubled Zhao Zhen were instantly resolved.

"really……"

Zhao Zhen sighed and then turned to look at the room behind him.

"So, that imposter Wugensheng was actually Huaiyi, right?"

"kindness."

Duanmu Ying nodded again.

"You two are really good at causing trouble!"

After glaring fiercely at Duanmu Ying, Zhao Zhen put his hand on her shoulder.

Swish!
As a golden light flashed before Duanmu Ying's eyes, by the time she came to her senses, she had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.

"So, Chairman Zhao, how exactly did you recognize me?"

Zhao Zhen glanced at Duanmu Ying with a hint of helplessness.

"At a time like this, shouldn't you be asking where we are?"

"A safe place?" Duanmu Ying blinked.

"You trust me that much?"

"If I can't even trust Chairman Zhao, then in this vast world, I'm afraid I truly wouldn't know where to go from here."

Duanmu Ying smiled bitterly, and then continued, "Moreover, if Chairman Zhao really has any ill intentions towards me, I don't even have the right to resist."

"You're quite optimistic..."

Zhao Zhen glanced at Duanmu Ying with amusement.

"This is a branch of our NaDuTong. I have already sent all the employees out, so it is safe here for the time being. You can go back to your original appearance for now."

"Ah."

clack clack...

After a series of chilling cracking sounds, Duanmu Ying regained her original appearance.

"Phew, this looks much better. That sissy from earlier made me want to slap him."

Okay, now you can tell me, what exactly happened?
