Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 343 I'll skin him alive! (Fourth update, please vote!)

Wang Ai's figure appeared at the door, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Although his face was still deathly pale and his breathing was weak and unsteady, his eyes, which should have been dull and lifeless, were now burning with sinister, resentful, and violent flames of a survivor.

His limbs, which had been crippled by Zhao Zhen and should have been as limp and powerless as rags, were now supporting him as he stood firmly. This silent scene was more impactful than any roar.

Duanmu Ying's dual-wielding skills are nothing short of miraculous!

"Everyone, stand down!"

Wang Ai's voice was hoarse and dry, yet it carried an undeniable, cold, and authoritative air.

His gaze was like a poisoned knife, first piercing his second uncle Wang You, who was kneeling on the ground, his face ashen.

That one glance contained so many emotions—unbelievable betrayal, deep-seated hatred, and a chilling premonition of an impending brutal reckoning.

The courtyard fell into a deathly silence.

The Wang family members, who had just been shouting for battle, now looked at their "resurrected" patriarch with fear, as if they had been choked.

Zhao Zhen's strength terrified them, but the appearance of the family head, Wang Ai, with his intact limbs, sent chills down their spines.

This means that Wang You is completely finished, and Wang Ai's revenge will be even more cruel and unscrupulous than Zhao Zhen's!

Wang Ai didn't look at Wang You again, as if he were already dead.

His gaze slowly swept over the messy courtyard, over the family members who were holding weapons and looking terrified, and finally landed on Zhao Zhen, who was standing in the center of the courtyard with a calm and composed expression.

Complex emotions surged in Wang Ai's eyes: the deep-seated hatred for the murder of her father, the humiliation of being crippled and reduced to a useless person, and the absurdity of being forcibly "rescued" by the other party at this moment.

“Zhao…Dong…”

Wang Ai's voice was squeezed out, accompanied by a suppressed grinding of teeth.

"That's... a brilliant tactic."

Zhao Zhen simply smiled slightly, her eyes calm and unwavering, as if she hadn't noticed the sarcasm and hatred in his words.

"The Wang family head has woken up? It seems Yingzi's medical skills really lived up to my promise. How are you feeling?"

"Thanks to you..."

Wang Ai practically spat out those words through clenched teeth. He could feel the weakness in his body, but he felt even more clearly the power that allowed him to regain control of his limbs.

“I, Wang Ai, will remember this kindness!”

He deliberately emphasized the word "gratitude," and the resentment in his voice was almost overflowing.

"Fat!"

Lu Ci could no longer contain himself and rushed to the steps, his voice trembling with excitement and his eyes red.

"You fucking...scared the hell out of me!"

Upon seeing Lü Ci, a faint warmth and complexity finally flickered in Wang Ai's eyes, but it was quickly covered by gloom again.

He nodded slightly, as a response to his brother's affection.

Wang Ai knew, of course, what Lü Ci had done for him. If it weren't for Lü Ci, Zhao Zhen probably wouldn't be here today.

Therefore, he acknowledges this affection.

But it was also this same affection that made him feel even more awkward when facing Zhao Zhen.

Wang Ai took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her surging blood and overwhelming hatred.

He knew that now was not the time to completely break ties with Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen's strength is unfathomable. To take action now would be tantamount to inviting humiliation, and might even lead to the loss of the family head position that he has just regained.

He needs to first stabilize the unsettled Wang family and deal with the traitors within the family!
His gaze shifted again to the limp Wang You, his icy killing intent now undisguised: "Second Uncle... during my serious injury, I was fortunate to receive your... meticulous care!"

"Ai...Ai'er...Let your second uncle explain..."

Wang You seemed to be grasping at the last straw, struggling to defend himself, his voice filled with despair and pleading.

"Explanation?" Wang Ai's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"What's there to explain? During my serious injury, I troubled you, Second Uncle, to take charge of the situation for me. I should be thanking you."

As she spoke, Wang Ai stepped forward and patted Wang You on the shoulder in a gentle, spring-like manner.

"Second Uncle, you must be tired. Go back and get some rest."

Upon hearing this, Wang You's already pale face turned even whiter, like gold paper.

He knew his nephew's methods all too well. Back then, when his father, Wang Li, died, Wang Ai used his ruthless methods to seize the position of family head from everyone.

A similar scene is about to unfold, but the target of the reckoning has changed from others to oneself.

As soon as he finished speaking, several members of the Wang family who were originally loyal to Wang Ai slowly walked out from outside the courtyard and "helped" Wang You away.

"No! Ai'er! I'm your second uncle! You can't..."

Wang You's screams came to an abrupt halt, clearly because someone had gagged him.

Wang Ai didn't even bother to look at her again. He refocused his gaze on Zhao Zhen and forced out an extremely stiff smile:

"My family is in deep distress, and I apologize for the embarrassment caused by this incident. I will never forget your life-saving grace today, and I will definitely pay you a visit another day to express my gratitude!"

He spoke the words "I'll come to express my gratitude" very slowly, his tone filled with undisguised threat.

Zhao Zhen nodded nonchalantly, as if he had only heard a polite remark.

"Master Wang, you're too kind. Now that the person has been rescued, there are family matters to attend to, so we won't disturb you any longer."

"Eiko, let's go."

He called out to Duanmu Ying, then turned and walked out without any hesitation.

"Chairman Zhao!"

Lu Ci's voice rang out, carrying a hint of determination.

He strode up to Zhao Zhen, and to everyone's astonishment, knelt down with a thud and kowtowed deeply to Zhao Zhen.

"Lu Ci, thank you, Chairman Zhao, for saving my life! From this day forward, my life belongs to you! I will serve you faithfully and without hesitation!"

This abrupt and solemn ceremony of pledging allegiance, performed in front of the Wang family, was like a resounding slap in the face to Wang Ai.

Wang Ai's fists clenched instantly, her nails digging deep into her palms, and her eyes were filled with fury that seemed about to burst forth!

Lü Ci was his brother and the most steadfast ally of the Wang family!
Now, he's actually kneeling down and pledging allegiance to his enemy, Zhao Zhen, right in front of him?!

This was even more unbearable for him than being beaten up!

But he could only grit his teeth and suppress all his anger, his body trembling slightly from extreme rage and humiliation.

Zhao Zhen stopped and looked down at Lü Ci, who was kneeling on the ground. A meaningful smile finally appeared on his face.

He reached out and gently patted Lü Ci's shoulder: "Get up, and remember what you said today."

After saying that, Zhao Zhen didn't look at Wang Ai and the others in the courtyard again. He led Duanmu Ying, Sun Heqian, and the still somewhat bewildered Zhao Fangxu, calmly passing through the automatically parting crowd and leaving the Wang family mansion that had just experienced a bloody storm.

Only after Zhao Zhen and the others disappeared outside the door did Wang Ai's tense body suddenly sway, and she finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, staining her chest red.

He stared in the direction Zhao Zhen had left, the resentment in his eyes almost tangible.

"Zhao Zhen... Na Du Tong... We... are sworn enemies!"

The next second, Wang Ai kicked over a stone bench and roared angrily at his subordinates who had come to ask how to deal with Wang You, "What are you all standing there for?! Drag him away! Slice him to pieces!!!"

After everyone had left, Wang Ai's originally resentful expression gradually disappeared, replaced by a fleeting numbness.

In his eyes, a strange blue light suddenly flashed by.

At the same time, piercing screams began to come from the backyard...
