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

Zhu Zheng looked at the black muzzle of the gun and felt the shadow of death looming over him. His pupils suddenly shrank and his whole body froze.

"Deng Yuanbo, you...you can't kill me!"

Zhu Zheng's voice was filled with despair and trembling, "I am the commander of the Jiangnan Region, you have no right to do this!"

Deng Yuanbo looked at Zhu Zheng coldly, with a disdainful sneer on his lips.

"Zhu Zheng, you are too naive." Deng Yuanbo said, "You are no longer the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan Region."

"Deng Yuanbo!" Zhu Zheng shouted again, "If you kill me, Shengjing District will not let you go!"

Deng Yuanbo shook his head and said, "Zhu Zheng, don't scare me with Shengjing District anymore. Shengjing District will not stand up for a traitor."

He slowly pulled the trigger and pointed the gun at Zhu Zheng's eyebrows.

"Zhu Zheng, your time is up." Deng Yuanbo said coldly.

Zhu Zheng closed his eyes in despair, waiting for death to come.

However, at this critical moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the crowd and stood in front of Zhu Zheng.

"Stop!" a familiar voice sounded.

Deng Yuanbo was stunned. He looked carefully and found that it was Lan Xincheng.

"Lan Xincheng, what are you doing?" Deng Yuanbo frowned. "I almost forgot about you, the one who slipped through the net. Since you are Zhu Zheng's assistant, you must have participated in his treasonous actions, right?"

Lan Xincheng's face was pale, but he still stood firmly in front of Zhu Zheng.

Zhu Zheng looked up at him hopefully, then lowered his head in frustration:

Lan Xincheng is just an assistant with no power or influence. What can he do?

"Deng Yuanbo, Zhu Shuai did not commit treason!" Lan Xincheng said, "You can't just kill him like this."

Deng Yuanbo looked at Tu Yunlie coldly and said, "Lan Xincheng, Zhu Zheng, as the commander-in-chief, colluded with foreign forces and attempted to kill talents from the Jiangnan region. This crime is unforgivable! The evidence is irrefutable. What else do you have to quibble about?"

Lan Xincheng gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Zhu Shuai has been deceived by the villain!"

Then he pointed his finger at Zhu Yu: "Zhu Shuai doesn't know that this woman is a member of the Neon Cult. All of this is a conspiracy by the Neon people!"

Zhu Zheng stared at Lan Xincheng in a daze. He didn't react for a moment, wondering how things had turned out like this.

Lan Xincheng continued to complain passionately: "It is true that Marshal Zhu was wrong in not judging people, but he is the commander of the Jiangnan Region after all, and he is dedicated to the region. His crime does not deserve death!"

Zhu Zheng now realized that Lan Xincheng was trying to put all the blame on Zhu Yu in order to give himself a chance of survival.

Yes! Why didn't he think of it?

But when he turned his gaze to Zhu Yu, he hesitated again. This was his dearest love! Was he really going to give up like this?

If it weren't for Zhu Yu's power, he would never have been able to turn things around!

Deng Yuanbo observed Zhu Zheng's reaction, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Lan Xincheng, do you think people will believe such a clumsy lie? We can't let him go! Once these Japanese people have the chance, they will definitely make a comeback."

The people around him also looked at Lan Xincheng with suspicion, obviously not believing what he said.

"Mr. Deng!" Lan Xincheng said earnestly, "I know you are angry because of the Japanese cult attacking Captain Deng, but I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding! The two families are engaged, how could Zhu Shuai do something to hurt Captain Deng?"

He said indignantly: "It must be this cunning Neon spy who acted on her own initiative! She wants to cause civil unrest in my Huaxu country!"

After Lan Xincheng's long speech, the soldiers around him were somewhat moved. After all, they would rather believe that their commander was deceived than a Japanese cult of unknown origin.

“Hahahaha…” Deng Yuanbo sneered, “Assistant Lante, you are so eloquent!”

Lan Xincheng quickly turned around and winked at Zhu Zheng, signaling him to cooperate quickly, and mouthed, "Zhu Shuai, put the blame on Zhu Yu. This is your only chance to survive!"

Zhu Yu, who was still struggling with Deng Shentong and the other man, did not notice that the spearhead originally directed at Zhu Zheng was now directed at herself. She still followed the instructions of the chip and paid close attention to Zhu Zheng's safety.

Zhang Yi seemed to have suddenly understood a little bit of human nature in this subtle change. He looked at Deng Shentong, whose expression remained unchanged, and said softly, "So that's how it is... Lan Xincheng is also one of yours?"

Deng Shentong glanced at him calmly and raised the corner of his mouth: "You are quite smart."

Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "It's all because of your good teaching."

Deng Shentong felt comfortable and hummed softly, his eyes slightly narrowed, like a cat with its tail raised.

The more Zhang Yi looked at it, the more itchy he felt. His captain was so adorable.

Seeing that old Zhu Zheng was still hesitating and delaying his time to do his job, he decided to add fuel to the fire!

The tall black-haired man rushed forward like a ghost and appeared behind Zhu Zheng in the blink of an eye. He raised the sword in his hand high and shouted, "You traitor, die!"

Zhu Zheng was horrified and tried to dodge but was held down tightly. His back was instantly soaked with cold sweat and he wondered if his death was imminent.

At this time, Zhu Yu saw this scene and ran towards this side regardless of the instructions.

Lan Xincheng did not expect Zhang Yi to suddenly take action and was stunned for a moment.

Just as the sword was about to fall, a black shadow flashed by. It turned out that Deng Shentong blocked the attack.

"Zhang Yi!" Deng Shentong shouted in a low voice, "Don't act without authorization before the matter is settled."

Everyone's hearts fell back into their throats. Zhu Zheng fell to the ground, sweating profusely, his eyes darting around blankly. It was obvious that the threat of death had made him lose his previous composure.

Zhang Yi's beast-like vicious eyes were still fixed on him. Zhu Zheng shuddered and felt that his life was hanging on the tip of a knife at any time.

He remembered the information sent back by Zhu Yunque. This gloomy-looking black-haired young man was obviously having an affair with Deng Shentong. Judging from his reckless behavior, he must hate himself for murdering Deng Shentong.

Zhu Zheng's heart skipped a beat. This guy might be a variable that is difficult to control.

If I am not careful, I will definitely die at this person's hands!

Deng Yuanbo glanced at Zhang Yi with an ambiguous expression, then frowned: "Zhu Zheng, what do you want to say?"

Zhu Zheng slumped on the ground, feeling Zhang Yi's murderous intent as if it were real. His heart was beating wildly and cold sweat was dripping down his forehead.

He knew that his life was hanging by a thread and he would die on the spot if he was not careful.

"Uncle Deng Yuan, I...I have something to say!" Zhu Zheng's voice trembled, his eyes filled with fear and desire to survive.

Deng Yuanbo looked at him coldly and signaled Deng Shentong to keep an eye on Zhang Yi and not take any action for the time being.

"explain."

Deng Yuanbo's voice was as chilling as a cold wind.

Zhu Zheng swallowed his saliva and forced himself to calm down. He knew that the only way to save him now was to put all the responsibility on Zhu Yu.

"...I admit that I was deceived before."

Zhu Zheng said in a trembling voice, "I had no idea that this person was a member of the Neon Cult, let alone that she had such great ambitions."

Deng Yuanbo sneered and said, "Zhu Shuai, do you think we will believe this?"

Zhu Zheng's heart sank, but he knew that now was not the time to give up.

"Uncle Deng Yuan, what I said is true!"

Zhu Zheng said hurriedly, "Zhu... no, Yuan Kongye, she said she was an orphan with nowhere to go. I saw that she was gifted, so I took her in and named her Zhu Yu, but I really didn't know she was a member of the Neon Cult!"

Deng Yuanbo was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Zhu Zheng, do you think I will believe your one-sided words? Yuan Kongye has become your confidant, how could you not know everything she has done?"

Zhu Zheng gritted his teeth. He knew that Deng Yuanbo would not let him go easily unless he paid a price.

"Uncle Deng Yuan, I am willing to accept the investigation!" Zhu Zheng said loudly, "As long as I can be proven innocent, I am willing to accept any punishment!"

Deng Yuanbo looked at Zhu Zheng coldly and said, "Zhu Zheng, do you think you can clear your name like this?"

Zhu Zheng's heart sank, but he knew that he had no choice but to continue talking.

"Uncle Deng Yuan, I admit that I was wrong before." Zhu Zheng said in a trembling voice, "I shouldn't have trusted Yuan Kongye so easily, and I shouldn't have let her participate in the affairs of the Jiangnan Region. But I really didn't collude with foreign forces, and I didn't betray the Jiangnan Region!"

Deng Yuanbo was silent for a while, then said coldly: "Zhu Zheng, I will consider your words. But now you must sever your relationship with this Japanese spy!"

His eyes were sharp, and his words were as shocking as thunder: "I know that she will only listen to your orders, so to prove your innocence, kill this Japanese spy in front of everyone!"

Zhang Yi looked at Zhu Zheng, whose expression was already shaken, and silently sighed in his heart that the Deng family hid so deeply:

What a great move to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
