Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 324 What do you want me to see?
Lu Ren staggered out of the shadows in the corner, his steps heavy, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

Behind him, Lü Cheng and the others looked equally ashen-faced, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

The remaining members of the Lü family emerged from behind their cover, their faces ashen, their eyes devoid of any fighting spirit, their gazes towards Zhao Zhen filled only with deep fear and lingering dread.

"Duanmu Ying... let Chairman Zhao take her away!"

Lu Ren uttered these words with difficulty, each one feeling like a dull knife cutting into his flesh.

"The matter of Jishetang is something my Lü family has failed to do. Chairman Zhao, you can simply tell us how to apologize."

"I only beg... I only beg Chairman Zhao to remember our past relationship... and spare the innocent old and young of my Lüjia Village."

Lu Ren bent down deeply, almost touching his forehead to the ground.

Faced with absolute power and utter despair, the head of this ancient family finally bowed his proud head.

For a time, the entire Lüjia Village was immersed in a humiliating silence.

Zhao Zhen looked at the village in ruins and the completely subdued Lü Ren, his eyes deep, and he was about to speak.

However, just when the situation seemed settled and everything was about to fall into place, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from the crowd:

"Brother Lü, if you just hand him over like this, where does that leave the thousand-year-old reputation of my four families?"

In the crowd, an obese figure slowly walked out, holding a haggard-looking woman hostage.

That fat man was none other than Wang Ai!
He gripped Duanmu Ying's neck tightly with one hand. The latter's face was pale and her breath was weak, clearly indicating that her situation in the Lü family had been extremely bad recently.

It's easy to imagine that after falling into the hands of the Lü family, in order to force her to reveal the "Double-Handed Technique," the Lü family must have used every interrogation method imaginable.

At this moment, Wang Ai was holding a gleaming dagger in her other hand, the blade with its eerie glow pressed firmly against Duanmu Ying's heart!
Although his face was calm, his eyes flashed with a deep-seated hatred as he stared intently at Zhao Zhen in the center of the crowd!
"Wang Ai! What are you doing? Stop!!!"

Lu Ren cried out in shock, both surprised and furious.

He never expected that his ally, the Wang family, would try to sabotage things in such a crazy way at the last minute!

"Brother Lü, calm down. Think about it carefully. If he really takes Duanmu Ying out of Lü Family Village today, the Lü family will truly lose all face..."

Lu Ren was slightly taken aback, but he was not persuaded by Wang Ai.

So what if we lose face? If we kill Duanmu Ying, wouldn't that completely enrage Zhao Zhen?
What if he, in a fit of rage, attacks the Lü family members without regard for consequences?
This will drag the entire Lü family into an abyss of no return!

"Wang Ai! Duanmu Ying was captured by our Lü family. How to deal with her is our Lü family's business. It's not your place to make decisions for us. Release her immediately!"

Lu Ren understood Wang Ai's meaning, but he was gambling with the lives of the entire Lu family, betting that Zhao Zhen was not someone who would be blinded by anger!
As the head of the Lü family, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, Lü Ren would never gamble with the lives of his own people!
However, Wang Ai completely ignored Lü Ren's shouts. All his attention was on Zhao Zhen, and his eyes were burning with the pleasure of revenge!

He was very clever. From the moment Lü Ren asked him for help, he had already considered how to maximize Zhao Zhen's losses should things develop to the worst possible outcome.

Without a doubt, all that's needed is to kill Duanmu Ying.

Originally, Wang Ai only needed to send someone to do this secretly, so that even if the Lü family found out afterward, he could pretend not to know and shirk responsibility.

But the thought of Zhao Zhen forcing his father to his death at the Extraordinary People Conference made it impossible for Wang Ai to swallow his anger. He wanted to kill Duanmu Ying in front of Zhao Zhen, and then enjoy watching Zhao Zhen's defeated and furious expression to vent his hatred!

"Don't worry, Brother Lü. With so many people watching today, he wouldn't dare do anything to your Lü family."

So, Zhao Zhen, you better keep a close eye on me!!!

With that, Wang Ai let out a ferocious roar, and without hesitation, plunged the dagger in his hand into Duanmu Ying's heart!

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment.

The gasps of the Lü family, Wang Ai's maniacal laughter, and Duanmu Ying's eyes closing in despair were all clearly reflected in Zhao Zhen's pupils.

This stab almost completely blocked all possible angles and possibilities for rescue!
The dagger was just a hair's breadth from his heart!
At that critical moment of life and death, an extremely subtle, almost imperceptible spatial ripple spread out quietly from where Zhao Zhen stood, at a speed beyond the limits of ordinary human perception.

The "Void-Slaying Formation" that had been restricting Zhao Zhen's Golden Escape Flowing Light had disappeared!
bass!
A dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from the spot where Zhao Zhen had been standing without warning!
The moment the golden light appeared, Zhao Zhen's figure vanished from the spot!
The speed was incredibly fast! It surpassed human reaction time!
Almost at the last second before the dagger in Wang Ai's hand pierced through Duanmu Ying's chest and its cold edge was about to touch her skin, a powerful hand gripped Wang Ai's wrist like an iron clamp, rendering her unable to move an inch.

Feeling the immense force on his wrist that seemed to be crushing his bones, Wang Ai's sinister smile froze on his face.

"What do you want me to see?"

As Zhao Zhen's voice, which sounded like a devil's whisper, rang out behind Wang Ai, countless cold sweats instantly broke out on his forehead.

Upon witnessing this scene, the entire Lüjia Village instantly fell into complete silence!

You can hear the needle drop!

Everyone, including Lü Ren who had been filled with despair, now gaped, their eyes wide open, staring intently at the figure behind Wang Ai.

The air seemed to freeze, with only heavy breathing and the thunderous beating of hearts pounding in everyone's chests.

Seeing this scene, Lü Ren felt as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant. His legs went weak, and he almost couldn't stand up. Only two words remained in his mind:

fortunately……

"Golden Stream of Light... How is this possible?! I clearly already..."

"Have they already deployed a Void Array throughout the entire Lü Family Village area?"

Zhao Zhen's teasing voice came from behind Wang Ai again.

He only exerted a slight force with his palm, and crack!

"what!!!"

With a crisp cracking sound and a pig-like scream, the dagger in Wang Ai's hand fell to the ground.

Ding bell~
"You don't really think I'm still a lonely person like I was twenty years ago, do you?"
