Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

at this time,

Phone,

Then Deng Zhi said, "Lan Xue, do as I say, and I'll guarantee your brother's safety. One million US dollars has already been transferred to your overseas bank account. You can check it. With this money, your brother can live a comfortable, middle-class life."

Lan Xue pleaded, "Mr. Deng, could I ask my brother to return to China? My parents are getting old and really want to see their only son."

Deng Zhi directly refused, saying, "Your brother can't come back for the time being. If your parents want to see your brother, they can have them make a video call. The internet is so advanced now, it's very convenient. Communicating face-to-face via live stream is no different from meeting in person."

Lan Xue thought to herself, "How can that be the same?"

"You're kidding me."

Deng Zhi seemed to guess what Lan Xue was thinking and continued, "Lan Xue, I'll say it again: either you work for me, or your brother gets hacked to death on the streets of America."

"Once this is over, I will give you a large sum of money. Then you can take your parents to the United States to reunite with your brother and the whole family can be together happily."

Lan Xue was speechless, but at this moment she had no choice but to swallow her tears.

Deng Zhi: "Is there anything else?"

Lan Xue: "That's all."

Deng Zhi: "Then let's hang up."

"Beep beep beep".

As Lan Xue listened to the busy tone on the phone, a look of helplessness and despair appeared in her eyes.

for a long time,

"Why!"

Lan Xue sighed softly, stood up, and walked out of the small conference room.

On the other side, Deng Zhi put down the phone and said to Deng Ying, who was sitting opposite him making tea, "Little sister, I've already laid the groundwork for you. How you proceed from here on out is up to you. Also, don't completely trust Qin Hanwen. He's gone completely mad. Now all he can think about is revenge and taking back everything that belongs to him. So you have to be wary of him at all times, and if necessary, you should decisively kill him to prevent future troubles."

Deng Ying placed a cup of tea she had brewed in front of Deng Zhi before slowly saying, "Brother, I understand. Let the Qin brothers fight amongst themselves first. Once they are both exhausted, it won't be too late for me to make my move. All the assets they fight so hard for will eventually become mine."

Deng Zhi nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Little sister, don't have too high expectations for someone like Xiao Zhan. This kind of person will either soar to the top and become a god standing at the top of the pyramid, or be thrown into the deepest hell and disappear into the vast sea of ​​people. There is no third option for this kind of person."

Deng Ying's eyes flickered a few times, and she sighed, "Alas, how could I not want to forget Xiao Zhan? But feelings are truly uncontrollable. I've told myself a thousand times not to develop real feelings for Xiao Zhan, but every time I see him, all the efforts and decisions I made before vanish in an instant."

"Big brother, when do you plan to hand over the 'Sky Arbiter System' to Xiao Zhan? I think it will be extremely disadvantageous for us to drag this out any longer. Meng Jianjun and Li Chaobing are ready examples. Xiao Zhan is moving faster than we thought. Meng Jianjun was the entry point for him to break into the 'Sky Arbiter System.' Now Qin Hanwu has come into his sights. Xiao Zhan may take even more radical actions next, making everyone in the system feel insecure, so that they will take the initiative to come closer to him or choose to cooperate with him. On the contrary, our binding power over these people will be greatly reduced, and these people may even turn against us."

"Clatter."

Deng Zhi lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said with a slight frown, "Others screw over their fathers, he screws over his grandfather."

Upon hearing this, Deng Ying was immediately shocked and looked at Deng Zhi, asking, "Brother, is what you just said true?"

Deng Zhi nodded and said, "It's absolutely true. I've been making plans all along, hoping that our Deng family can transition peacefully in the future. Xiao Zhan was one of the pawns in this scheme. I didn't expect that this kid would be so disobedient to me. Now it seems that I was too naive."

Deng Ying's expression changed again.

She had never heard of, let alone considered, what her older brother had just said about Xiao Zhan, so she asked, "Brother, you're saying Xiao Zhan has a very powerful background?"

Deng Zhi nodded and said, "I have investigated very thoroughly and there is no mistake. But don't worry too much. As long as you hold onto your overseas assets tightly, Xiao Zhan will not dare to touch us. If we can buy ourselves three to five years, once we have laundered all the funds in our hands, we will immediately take our families and leave and never come back."

"Unfortunately, fate is unkind and hasn't given me time. I'm afraid I won't live to see that day."

Hearing her elder brother speak like that, Deng Ying's eyes welled up with tears, and she said with a touch of sadness, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Mom and Dad."

He paused, then continued, "Big brother, why did you get a hereditary disease but I didn't, and why didn't Dad get it either?"

Deng Zhi exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I investigated secretly. Back then, the old man injured his manhood on the battlefield and lacked a special hormone in his body. It's possible that this hormone suppressed the family's genetic inheritance, or that the virus cannot survive or has the conditions to take effect without a certain hormone. It's a pity I didn't think of it sooner, otherwise, I would have had the surgery."

Deng Ying was speechless.

Is a man who undergoes that kind of surgery still a man?

Can men still experience happiness?

Can men still have sex with women?

"Beep beep beep".

Suddenly, Deng Zhi's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Deng Zhi frowned, but answered the phone, saying, "Hello, Brother Hanwu, how have you been? What brings you to call me today?"

On the other end of the phone, Qin Hanwu said, "I'm not well, I'm also unwell. Brother Deng, why did you attack my sister-in-law?"

Deng Zhi was not surprised. Since he dared to secretly help Qin Hanwen set a trap for Liu Yiran, he had already come up with a countermeasure.

So he said, "Brother Hanwu, I don't understand what you're saying. Why would I attack Liu Yiran? I have no grudge against her. Have you heard some rumors?"

Before making the call, Qin Hanwu had anticipated that Deng Zhi might not admit it, so he said, "It's okay if you don't admit it, I have evidence. But considering our long-standing relationship, I'm calling you first to let you know. If we can resolve this peacefully, that would be best. If we can't reach an agreement, I'll have to hand over the evidence to the relevant departments."

Deng Zhi said coldly, "Then you should hand it over to the relevant departments to handle. I can't be made to take the blame for something I didn't do."

Qin Hanwu: "So you're saying we have nothing to talk about?"

Deng Zhi: "Other things can be discussed, but this kind of thing is not negotiable. You can't force me to do something I haven't done. I'm not a sucker or a scapegoat."

Qin Hanwu: "Very well then, Brother Deng, take care of yourself."

"Clatter."

Qin Hanwu abruptly hung up the phone.

This was the first time Deng Zhi had ever had his phone hung up on like this. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he coldly said, "Qin Hanwu, you're already at your wit's end and you still dare to talk to me like that? If you have the guts, go ahead and sue me. See how I send you to the deepest hell."
