Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 398 If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place.

"I'm sorry, Sister Yingzi."

Zhao Fangxu, being quite perceptive, took the opportunity to apologize to Duanmu Ying.

"It's alright, Mr. Zhao, you don't need to apologize to me. I understand how you feel."

Duanmu Ying shook her head, her eyes showing neither joy nor sorrow.

Only at this moment did Zhao Zhen finally understand why Zhao Fangxu had said that Duanmu Ying's mental state was not quite right.

Compared to ten years ago, Duanmu Ying's current state is indeed a bit strange.

"Speaking of which, Yingzi, what exactly did you want to see me about?"

Duanmu Ying did not answer directly, but turned her head to look at Zhao Fangxu beside her.

Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes and instantly understood Duanmu Ying's meaning.

"Fang Xu, you go ahead and continue with your work. I want to talk to Yingzi alone."

"Yes, master!"

After Zhao Fangxu left, the atmosphere in the office fell into an eerie silence once again.

In the end, it was Zhao Zhen who broke the silence.

"Yingzi, I heard you and Zizhong have a child? I haven't even had a chance to congratulate you yet~"
Is the child a boy or a girl? What is their name?

When the topic of children came up, Duanmu Ying's eyes, which had been as still as water, finally lit up.

“It’s a boy, and Zizhong and I named him Wang Ning.”

"Wang Ning...that's a good name."

Zhao Zhen replied with a smile.

Just then, Duanmu Ying suddenly spoke again: "Chairman Zhao, I came to see you because I want to tell you something."

"what's up?"

"I'm leaving the company."

Upon hearing this, the air in the office seemed to freeze once again.

The smile on Zhao Zhen's face gradually disappeared, but her eyes remained calm.

"Can you tell me why?"

"Chairman Zhao, I want to go abroad."

Duanmu Ying gritted her teeth, a resolute glint in her eyes.

Is it because of... the child?

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Ying's pupils contracted sharply, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Chairman Zhao, how did you know...?"

Before Duanmu Ying could finish speaking, Zhao Zhen raised his hand to interrupt her.

"That child also inherited your skillful hands, didn't he?"

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Ying could no longer control her emotions, and her eyes began to redden slightly.

"Yes, Xiao Ning awakened his dual-wielding abilities when he was three years old..."

As she spoke, a hint of excitement flashed in Duanmu Ying's eyes.

"Chairman Zhao, do you know how I felt when I saw Xiao Ning use the Double Hand technique in front of me?"

At that moment, I was truly in utter despair!

Although I had been prepared, when the curse truly befell my child, I realized that I wasn't as strong as I had thought.

curse……

Yes, for Duanmu Ying today, from the moment she decided to change the inheritance of the Dual-Handed Technique from acquired to innate, this "curse" was destined to haunt her descendants for life!
"Over the years, I have tried various methods to reverse the transformation of these hands back to their original state."

But it wasn't until I saw Xiao Ning inherit the dual-wielding technique that I finally understood that everything I had done was in vain.

After saying that, Duanmu Ying also suddenly looked up, her eyes fixed on Zhao Zhen.

"Chairman Zhao! For Xiao Ning's sake, I must go abroad. Only with foreign medical knowledge can I further advance my understanding of double-handedness. Only in this way can I find a way to completely rid myself and my child of this 'curse'!"

After hearing Duanmu Ying's words, Zhao Zhen remained silent for a moment, then looked at Duanmu Ying calmly.

Why didn't you mention this to Fang Xu?

Upon hearing this, a bitter smile immediately appeared on Duanmu Ying's face.

"I didn't mention it because I knew very well that President Zhao would not let me leave the company."

"Not only Mr. Zhao, but even you, Chairman Zhao, didn't you betray my whereabouts to the Lü family back then in order to prevent me from leaving the country?"

"You know it all?"

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

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place..."

"Who told you this?"

"Chairman Zhao, I won't tell you about this, so you don't need to ask me."

Zhao Zhen glanced thoughtfully at Duanmu Ying in front of him, then slowly stood up and bowed slightly to her.

"I'm sorry, Eiko."

"Chairman Zhao, you don't need to do this. Even if I knew about this, I wouldn't hate you."

I understand you. From your perspective back then, you did it out of necessity.

After all, you did give me a chance to leave back then, but I just didn't cherish it..."

Faced with Duanmu Ying's understanding, Zhao Zhen slowly shook his head.

"Some things, once wrong, are wrong, and I will not use any excuse of being forced to cover up my mistakes."

In the ten years since I left the company, I've come to understand a lot of things.

Everything has its own destiny, all things have their own fate, and the world has its own cycle of reincarnation. Many things will be as they are meant to be.

Trying to force things to operate according to my own desires is simply being attached to appearances.

Upon hearing these words, a look of surprise flashed in Duanmu Ying's eyes.

"It seems that you have indeed changed a lot in the past ten years, Chairman Zhao..."

“I have resigned from my position as chairman of Nadutong, so you no longer need to call me Chairman Zhao.”

If you wish, you can still call me Brother Zhao, just like before.

"So... Brother Zhao, this time, you're not going to stop me from going abroad?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and shook her head.

"If you want to go out, then go out. It's good to go out and see how vast the world really is."

Besides, given your abilities, if you were truly determined to leave, you had plenty of opportunities to sneak away from the company while I was away, but you didn't do that.

"Back then, Brother Zhao, you saved me from the Lü family, and I promised to join Nadutong for you."

Since we made a promise, even if I were to leave, I would naturally need to say goodbye to you, Brother Zhao, first.

"Go ahead, Zizhong and Xiaoning. I will secretly ask someone to look after them."

Don't worry, if you don't want to, I won't let anyone from the company contact them.

Upon hearing this, a look of emotion flashed in Duanmu Ying's eyes.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao..."

As she spoke, Duanmu Ying slowly stood up, turned her head, and prepared to leave.

But just as she reached the door and placed her hand on the doorknob, she suddenly stopped.

“Brother Zhao, the person who told me about that was one of my sworn brothers. You… be careful.”

Without waiting for Zhao Zhen's reply, Duanmu Ying suddenly pushed open the wooden door and disappeared completely from Zhao Zhen's sight.
