At that moment, the expressions of everyone in the Raging Wind Martial Hall's lobby were a strange mix.
Some were shocked, some delighted, some unable to believe it, and some utterly disdainful.
Lin Zhen walked in with a smile and could not help laughing when he saw Zhao Liang acting so fawningly.
As soon as he entered the lobby, Meng Dong was the first to run over.
"Damn! Lin Zi, you finally remembered to come back? I got beaten half to death this time. I don't care—based on our friendship, you have to help me get revenge no matter what. That Russian Big Bear, beat the hell out of him for me. I want his own mother to be unable to recognize him!"
Lin Zhen patted Meng Dong's shoulder. "You're still hopping around just fine. Doesn't look like you're seriously hurt!"
"And you call this not seriously hurt? My whole body aches. Still, compared to those two who went up onstage with me, I guess I'm not too badly off."
Lin Zhen's gaze fell on Fu Chengya and Shen Tuohua.
Both of them were injured, especially Shen Tuohua, whose injuries were fairly serious. Fortunately, they were only external wounds, and they were still conscious enough. The two of them glared fiercely at Lin Zhen.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Zhen might have gone over to provoke them a little. But not today. At this critical moment, he had far too many important things to do.
He quickly walked over to Dongfang Jun and Lu Ming, then gave a slight bow. "Hall Master, Mayor Lu, something delayed me, so I came back a little late."
Dongfang Jun nodded slightly, but he did not look particularly pleased. He merely said to Lin Zhen, "You may not know this since you just got back.
