Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 337 He can’t come

After seeing Zhao Yufei off, Zhao Zhen returned to his office.

"A small inn in the Jianghu..."

After muttering something to himself, Zhao Zhen finally felt that he needed to see the head of the Jianghu Inn again.

I remember the last time I saw Liu Wei was when I was being chased by the ninjas of Bihe Mountain. In order to remove the blood mark in my body, I had to go to the Jianghu Inn to inquire about Wugensheng's whereabouts.

Now, more than twenty years have passed, and I wonder what that slovenly drunkard looks like now.

Just as Zhao Zhen had arranged for Yu Yang to investigate the two extraordinary individuals within the circle who had crippled Tian Jinzhong, an unexpected person suddenly arrived.

"Lü Ci?"

As Zhao Zhen watched the person slowly walk into his office, his brows furrowed slightly.

"What are you here for?"

"Chairman Zhao, I..."

Lu Ci opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"Alright, even if you don't say anything, I can roughly guess what you're up to. You're here for Wang Ai, aren't you?"

Zhao Zhen suddenly waved his hand, interrupting Lü Ci before he could finish speaking.

"Yes……"

Lü Ci nodded, his expression somewhat somber.

"I should have told you back in Lüjia Village that if you want Nadutong to help with the treatment, you should have Wang Ai come to Nadutong in person."

Now that so much time has passed, he hasn't made a move at all. It seems he'd rather be a useless person for the rest of his life than bow down to me.

"That's fine. After all, considering what you've done to Duanmu Ying, the fact that she treated your Lü family members' injuries back then was already a favor I did."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen got up to shoo the person away.

Seeing this, a hint of anxiety flashed in Lü Ci's eyes.

"Chairman Zhao, regarding the matter of Duanmu Ying, it is entirely my fault, Lü Ci's fault, but my brother is innocent!"

"Innocent? From the moment he stepped into Lüjia Village at that time, he was no longer innocent."

Do you really think I don't know about the behind-the-scenes collusion between your Lü family and the Wang family?
The day I took Duanmu Ying away, I deliberately gave your Lü family a final chance to save face!

But Lü Ci, you should actually know something better than I do.

Respect is something you earn yourself, not something given to you by others!

"The Lü family will definitely repay Chairman Zhao's kindness."

After saying that, Lü Ci gritted his teeth and then knelt down on the floor in front of Zhao Zhen with a thud.

"Lu Ci, what do you mean by this?"

"Chairman Zhao, as long as you can get Duanmu Ying to save Wang Ai, I'm willing to pay any price!"

Even if you take my life, I won't have the slightest complaint!

"Lu Ci, I beg you!"

Faced with Lü Ci's almost humble attitude, Zhao Zhen's gaze remained unwavering.

"You can't afford the price I want. Go back. I know you came to see me secretly this time."

If you really care about your brother, then try to persuade him. Fighting me to the bitter end won't do him any good.

"Chairman Zhao, Fatty... he can't make it..."

After a low sob, Lü Ci, known in the industry as "Little Mad Dog," actually started crying in front of Zhao Zhen.

"You can't come? What do you mean?"

Zhao Zhen frowned and looked at Lü Ci with some confusion.

"Ever since Fatty was brought back to the Wang family, I've found it increasingly difficult to see him."

The last time I saw him, he was already... in a vegetative state!

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen raised an eyebrow, but quickly regained her composure.

Although he was ruthless when he attacked Wang Ai, he only targeted her limbs and dantian.

Even if Wang Ai's injuries seem severe, at most she would be like Tian Jinzhong, completely disabled for the rest of her life, and it is absolutely impossible for her to become a vegetable.

So there's definitely something fishy going on here! "You think this was also my doing?"

"No, I know this wasn't done by you, Chairman Zhao, and I also know that your intention was to force Fatty to bow down to you."

But Chairman Zhao, Fatty is the head of the Wang family, and many people in the Wang family don't want him to see you!

"You really dare to say that. Did your older brother tell you all this?"

"Yes……"

Lü Ci nodded very frankly.

"Since your older brother knows everything, shouldn't he have told you not to come looking for me?"

"I told you, but I still came!"

"why?"

"For a promise."

"promise?"

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, then gave Lü Ci a deep look.

"Lu Ci, to be honest, if we don't consider the issue of stance, I quite admire your temperament."

"Alright, since you, Lü Ci, have already said so, then I agree."

"Really? Thank you so much, Chairman Zhao!!!"

Upon hearing this, a look of joy immediately appeared on Lü Ci's face.

Before he could even rejoice, Zhao Zhen spoke again:

"Don't be too happy yet. I agreed not out of kindness, but on conditions."

"I know."

Lu Ci nodded calmly.

"If Chairman Zhao can really save Fatty, then my life, Lü Ci's life, will belong to you from this day forward!"

"That sounds nice, but what if I asked you to kill your elder brother, Lü Ren? Could you still do it?"

Lu Ci was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He was about to speak when Zhao Zhen interrupted him with a smile.

"I was just joking, don't take it seriously~"

Don't know now? No problem, there's plenty of time...

After saying that, he called Yu Yang over from outside.

"Director Zhao?"

"Yu Yang, please call Duanmu Ying for me, and also bring Fang Xu and He Qian over."

"Yes."

After Yu Yang left, Lü Ci looked at Zhao Zhen in disbelief.

"Chairman Zhao, what's wrong...?"

"Of course, I'm going to save your brother."

Zhao Zhenli answered naturally.

"Thank you, Chairman Zhao!"

Lu Ci's face lit up with joy at first, but soon a troubled expression returned.

"But Chairman Zhao, the fat man is now under the protection of the Wang family. They say no one is allowed to visit him. Even when I went yesterday, I was kicked out by the Wang family!"

"Protect?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen's lips curled into a disdainful smile.

What kind of protection is this? It's nothing more than trying to slowly make Wang Ai disappear.

After all, only when he dies can some people truly take the position of family head.

This is why Lü Ci suddenly rushed to find Zhao Zhen despite everything. Lü Ci knew very well that if things dragged on any longer, his brother might really die without knowing why!

"I'll personally accompany you there. I want to see if the Wang family dares to stop me..."
