Zhao Cheng narrowed his eyes and his fingers gradually loosened, as if he was about to release an arrow!
Just as the atmosphere reached its lowest point, footsteps sounded again from outside the crowd.
Da da da—
Du Laihua's entourage had just made their way through the crowd when they were stopped by a group of people coming from the opposite direction.
Upon seeing the leader, the attendant quickly bowed and said, "Your Excellency, Prefect!"
Upon hearing this title, a series of sighs of relief rang out from the audience.
Huang Hua, in particular, felt as if a weight had been lifted from his chest.
No matter how arrogant Zhao Cheng is, he will always give Huang Zhen face within the territory of Qingdong City.
Huang Zhen strode over, first clasped his hands in greeting to Du Laihua, then to Zhao Cheng, before finally fixing his gaze on Huang Hua.
Du Laihua gestured to his attendant, who was not far away, signaling him to come back.
Even Huangzhen has arrived, so the Marquis's mansion doesn't need to send anyone else.
Seeing his son being beaten, and his subordinates not only not helping but also helping outsiders... Huang Zhen couldn't bring himself to harm Zhao Cheng, but he could certainly cause trouble for Xiao Luofeng.
Du Laihua was already looking forward to seeing Huang Zhen teach Xiao Luofeng a lesson.
He seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, saying, "Prefect Huang, did you just hear that? The young prime minister is determined to have Huang Hua today, and he said that no one can save him!"
"Commander Xiao is probably terrified. Now we can only rely on you!"
Huang Zhen nodded politely to Du Laihua, then looked at Zhao Cheng with piercing eyes and said, "Young Prime Minister, are you really determined to have my son?"
Zhao Cheng said calmly, "He's an adult. He has to pay the price for his mistakes, otherwise he'll only cause bigger trouble in the future."
What do you want him to do?
"Give up your life, and we'll spare his life."
Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath in tension.
No one expected that Zhao Cheng would dare to be so assertive when facing Huang Zhen directly.
If it means risking one's life for another, then Huang Hua still needs to be castrated!
What father could tolerate someone telling him in front of him that they wanted to castrate his son?!
Zhao Cheng and Huang Zhen locked eyes, neither willing to back down.
Upon seeing this, Du Laihua was so excited he almost jumped up, as if he could already picture Huang Zhen cutting Zhao Cheng and Xiao Luofeng into pieces.
After a long while, Huang Zhen made a move.
He drew his knife, walked up to Huang Hua, and said, "Bear with it, my knife is very fast, it won't hurt."
Du Laihua: "???"
Huang Hua: "???"
