The male supporting role was captured by the protagonist after his rebirth

"what?"

For a moment, Lan Xincheng thought he had heard it wrong.

"Are you asking Zhu Shuai to cancel the engagement?"

Lan Xincheng's face turned a little ugly. He came to confiscate the Deng family's property, but Deng Yuanbo proposed to cancel the engagement.

Zhu Yunque is Zhu Zheng's niece. How could she be sent back to her parents' home after being married for a year? This is clearly a slap in Zhu Zheng's face!

Deng Yuanbo still smiled and said, "You heard me right, Mr. Lan. If you want the account book in my hand, please tear up this marriage contract first."

"Why?" Lan Xincheng stared at Deng Yuanbo's smiling old face and frowned tightly.

"Since Zhu Shuai and I are relatives, then in order to avoid suspicion, it is not his turn to investigate the Deng family's collusion with Neon."

Deng Yuanbo's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said cheerfully: "So, if Zhu Shuai wants to ask for the Deng family's account book, you should cancel the engagement first!"

Lan Xincheng sneered.

Deng Shentong is not here. He now leads nearly a hundred well-equipped soldiers. Will he listen to the nonsense of this weak old man?

"Mr. Deng, I think you haven't figured out the situation yet." Lan Xincheng stepped forward and said, "Without Deng Shentong, what's the difference between your Deng family and fish on the chopping board? What right do you have to negotiate with Zhu Shuai?"

He clapped his hands, and immediately heavy footsteps were heard outside the door. Several tall soldiers slowly approached the study.

These are all extraordinary people with an ability index of more than 6,000 points. Although they are not worth mentioning in front of the investigation team, they are enough to deal with the elderly, the weak, the women and the children of the Deng family.

Lan Xincheng has military support, and his eyes are cold, revealing an invisible pressure.

At this critical moment, the middle-aged butler who had been standing aside with his hands folded and with a very low sense of presence suddenly came out.

He slowly straightened his hunched back, and people were able to see his face clearly. It was still an ordinary face that was forgettable at first sight.

However, Lan Xincheng keenly felt that something about this butler seemed to have changed at this moment.

A strange look flashed in the housekeeper's eyes, and his aura suddenly changed.

The middle-aged man, who had originally lowered his head and eyes, now exuded a heart-pounding aura.

Lan Xincheng was startled and instinctively took two steps back. He realized that the butler in front of him was no ordinary person!

It turns out that he is also a strange person, and his strength is definitely not inferior to that of the members of the investigation team.

Lan Xincheng looked at the butler with a gloomy expression and gritted his teeth and said, "Delta-level alien? Who are you!"

The butler smiled slightly and said calmly: "I am just an ordinary butler. However, since I am employed by the Deng family, I naturally have to protect the safety of the Deng family."

As he spoke, he gently waved his sleeves, and a powerful force swept out instantly.

The soldiers who were approaching were like fallen leaves blown by the wind, flying backwards and falling heavily to the ground.

Lan Xincheng widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

He never imagined that this seemingly ordinary butler actually possessed such terrifying strength!

After doing all this, the butler simply adjusted the cuffs of his suit, then bent over and stood aside.

Lan Xincheng felt that he had been tricked. He shouted madly, "So what if there is an alien around you? I will notify Zhu Shuai now and ask him to dispatch an entire investigation team to arrest the traitor!"

Deng Yuanbo's expression remained calm. He coughed twice and said slowly, "Mr. Lan, don't get excited. I know Zhu Shuai can mobilize the investigation team, but don't forget what my Deng family does."

Lan Xincheng's face suddenly turned gloomy. The Deng family controlled Deng's technology, and perhaps they really did hide some of their power.

"If Zhu Shuai is unwilling to cancel the engagement, you will face a lot of trouble even if you take the account book. After all, this concerns the reputation of both families."

Lan Xincheng frowned, as he realized that Deng Yuanbo was not unprepared.

This old fox seemed to have anticipated Zhu Shuai's actions and had a plan to deal with them.

At this moment, a thought flashed through Lan Xincheng's mind.

This marriage contract is stamped with the seal of the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan region, so it has legal effect. Even the top leaders of the Shengjing region have no right to comment on it.

When the contract was signed, the Deng family was in the dominant position and Zhu Zheng's position was precarious.

The reason why Zhu Zheng dared to take action against the Deng family blatantly now was because the contract actually only stipulated that the Deng family could not overthrow his rule within five years.

As for the matter of succession, if Deng Shentong is no longer around, it will naturally be of no use.

Although this exchange seemed very fair at the time, with Deng Shentong's strength, it was almost impossible for anything to go wrong.

But the situation now is different from the past. Zhu Yu has become strong enough, so naturally the winner will be the king and the loser will be the enemy.

Then there is no need to keep this engagement!

"Have you thought about it? Mr. Lan, your people have disturbed my Deng family for long enough."

Deng Yuanbo smiled and looked at Lan Xincheng's reaction: "If you have nothing else, please go back."

Lan Xincheng took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "Isn't it just to cancel the engagement? I promise you!"

"Oh?" Deng Yuanbo narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you sure you can make this decision on behalf of Zhu Shuai? This is the marriage contract he personally made with my Deng family!"

Speaking of this, Lan Xincheng felt more and more that this was just a delaying tactic of the old fox. In fact, this marriage contract was not that important at all.

He sneered: "It's just a small matter, there's no need to bother Zhu Shuai, bring it here!"

Without waiting for Deng Yuanbo to react, Lan Xincheng snatched the stamped paper and quickly tore it into pieces.

Confetti fluttered all over the ground, like the never-ending snowfall in Blizzard City, witnessing the end of a period of time.

Deng Yuanbo looked at the scraps of paper on the ground, with a look of loss in his eyes.

He recalled the moment when Zhu Zheng found him and asked the Deng family to support him in commanding Blizzard City just when the end of the world was approaching.

Three years.

It is the long-term stable cooperative relationship between Zhu Zheng and the Deng family that has enabled Blizzard City to reach its current size.

And this agreement, which was originally to work together to create a grand plan, finally ended in such a sloppy and even hasty manner due to the balance of power.

A snowflake fell to the ground without making any sound.

Lan Xincheng's hands hidden under his sleeves were trembling violently. He made such a decision without authorization and his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

He stared at Deng Yuanbo fiercely and said, "The engagement is now cancelled. Please hand over the account book and Miss Zhu! She is no longer the wife of your Deng family!"

Deng Yuanbo's eyes were still on the pile of confetti, and he was unusually silent.

He sighed silently in his heart: As expected, when people get older, they tend to feel sad about the past...

At this time, the housekeeper smiled and said to Lan Xincheng: "Mr. Lan, please be patient. The master is a man of his word. We will give you the account book, but the whereabouts of Miss Zhu..."

Lan Xincheng glared at him, "What do you mean?"

Deng Yuanbo waved his hand, signaling the butler to continue.

The housekeeper bowed slightly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Mr. Lan, we really don't know the whereabouts of Miss Zhu. She has always been free to come and go."

Lan Xincheng was shocked. Could it be that Zhu Yunque really ran away by himself?

He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to look at the account book first.

As for Zhu Yunque? She was just an insignificant woman. With the engagement cancelled, she became a useless pawn.

He said coldly: "I can not pursue where Miss Zhu went, but if there is a problem with the account book, you Deng family will have a hard time!"

Deng Yuanbo laughed out loud, "Don't worry, Mr. Lan, the account book is absolutely authentic and reliable."

As he spoke, he took out a thick gold-edged account book from the drawer and handed it to Lan Xincheng without any hesitation.

Lan Xincheng took the heavy account book and roughly flipped it open. It was filled with densely recorded details of the income and expenditure of various industries of the Deng family.

It covers everything from the whereabouts of a sum of money to the list of leaders of an industry.

He checked carefully and found nothing unusual.

Is Deng Yuanbo really planning to compromise this time?
