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

A few days later, the purge that had made the top brass in Blizzard City feel insecure finally came to an end. Although everyone knew that the position of commander-in-chief would belong to the Deng family, they still needed a formal opportunity.

Zhu Zheng knew that the situation was hopeless, so he asked to step down and took the initiative to hand over power to the Shengjing region, which made the whole process go much more smoothly.

Of course, the Deng family also gave him enough rewards to ensure that he and his family would live a prosperous and wealthy life for the rest of their lives, but they would never be able to access real power again.

When everything was ready, the Jiangnan region held a campaign meeting for the new commander-in-chief.

Inside the Tianchang Conference Center, the lights are bright and the atmosphere is solemn and serious.

The bigwigs from various forces in Blizzard City gathered together, chatting and laughing on the surface, but everyone knew in their hearts that today's meeting would determine the future direction of the Jiangnan region.

The host of the meeting stood on the podium, looked around the audience, and slowly spoke:

"Everyone, we are gathered here today to elect a new commander for the Jiangnan region. After much discussion and consultation, we all agree that Mr. Deng Shentong is the most suitable candidate."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and the whole audience instantly erupted into thunderous applause.

Although everyone knew the answer, it still caused quite a stir when the result was officially announced.

Deng Shentong, who was sitting in the front row, looked elegant. He was wearing a finely tailored white suit that perfectly outlined his smooth shoulders and slender waistline, making him look tall and slender.

That extremely handsome face seemed like a work of art carefully carved by God. The straight nose, upturned eyes, and soft lips made it difficult to look away.

Perhaps because he knew that today's occasion was rather formal, he tied his long hair neatly behind his head. A few strands of silver hair fell on the sides of his face, making his skin look even whiter like cold jade.

The man, whose whole body was radiating a dazzling light, smiled and nodded slightly, greeting everyone present in an elegant and calm manner.

However, at this moment, several malicious eyes quietly lingered on Deng Shentong. These eyes were either full of jealousy or hidden calculations, with a hint of subtle malice.

However, before those people with ulterior motives could take any action, the tall young man who had been standing silently behind Deng Shentong keenly noticed something was wrong.

The black-haired young man raised his head slightly, and a cold light burst out from both sides under his slightly long bangs, like a ferocious and protective dog.

"Mr. Deng Shentong is not only young and promising, but also extremely capable. In several major events before, he has demonstrated outstanding leadership and fearless courage."

The host continued to speak in a procedural manner, "We believe that under the leadership of Mr. Deng Shentong, the Jiangnan region will surely usher in a brighter future."

There was warm applause from the audience again, and many people nodded in agreement.

However, when people looked at Deng Yuanbo, who was also sitting in the chief seat, the old man did not look pleased. Instead, he dozed off as if he did not care.

Just when the scene was a little awkward, suddenly, a loud and firm voice broke the silence: "I object!"

In an instant, the originally noisy meeting place became silent. Everyone was attracted by the sudden voice of opposition. They all focused their eyes in the direction where the voice came from, wanting to see who was so desperate.

I saw a man in his thirties slowly standing up.

The man was wearing a well-tailored dark blue suit, his hair was neatly combed, and the pair of black-rimmed glasses on his face gave him a sense of shrewdness and capability.

Soon someone recognized that this man was Deng’s cousin, Deng Xiulan.

What's going on? Is there an internal conflict in the Deng family?

The host wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked cautiously after a while: "Then... sir, do you have any suggestions?"

"Although Mr. Deng Shentong is young and promising, he still has little experience after all."

Deng Xiulan raised her head and continued confidently, "Such an important position in the Jiangnan region should be held by an experienced and respected person."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

When Deng Shentong heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He gently patted Zhang Yi, who was a little impatient, behind him, and signaled him not to be nervous.

Deng Shentong stood up and responded slowly, "You are right. My experience is indeed quite limited. But Li Changgong, the commander of the Northwest Region, seems to be about the same age as me, right?"

Deng Xiulan sneered, "Humph, you are so eloquent. Why should Jiangnan District compare its own affairs with those of others? If you are so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter, I am afraid you will bring Jiangnan District into danger."

Deng Yuanbo, who had been dozing off, was awakened. He yawned and said slowly, "Stop arguing, both of you."

Everyone thought he was going to mediate, but he continued, "In that case, let me be the commander, hehe..."

As soon as Deng Yuanbo finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar. No one expected that this old man who had always kept a low profile would suddenly propose to be the commander-in-chief at this time.

"Mr. Deng, you... you are not kidding, are you?"

The host wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked cautiously.

Deng Yuanbo smiled slightly and said, "Do you think I'm joking?"

The host was suddenly speechless. He looked at the three "Deng family members" who were on the verge of a fight, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Zhang Yi was confused. He leaned over to Deng Shentong's ear and whispered, "What does your uncle want to do?"

Deng Shentong shook his head slightly, signaling him to stay calm and continue listening.

"Mr. Deng, you are highly respected and we all respect you." A middle-aged man stood up and said, "But, the new commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan region should be a young man, right?"

It seems that this person is openly on Deng Shentong's side and is taking this opportunity to win favor.

Many people echoed this. No matter how you look at it, Deng Shentong is young, promising, and powerful. He is now the current head of the Deng family and holds real power. He is obviously the best candidate for commander-in-chief.

Deng Yuanbo nodded and said, "You are right. The Jiangnan region needs young and promising leaders."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But - don't you think it's a waste of talent to let an Ipsilon-level alien handle these tedious regional affairs?"

Deng Yuanbo narrowed his eyes, looked around, and said slowly: "Although I am old, I am still qualified for the position of commander."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell into silence.

At this time, Deng Shentong took a step forward, still with a faint smile on his face, and bowed respectfully to Deng Yuanbo.

"Uncle, I know your abilities."

Deng Yuanbo raised his eyebrows, smiling, "Go on."

"Then according to your meaning, as an Ipsilon-level alien, I should continue to lead the investigation team and play a more important role."

Deng Shentong said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. The middle-aged man who took the lead felt the crisis even more, and hurriedly advised:

"Master Erlang Shen, please think twice!"

Deng Shentong didn't care what others said. He just smiled and said, "Since no one objects, let's just do it this way!"

The venue suddenly fell silent. Even Deng Shentong himself had given up this opportunity. What other opinions could they have?

Deng Yuanbo laughed three times and stroked his gray beard, "You are a good person! Okay, that's it for today."

Deng Xiulan glanced at the two of them and sat back in her original seat silently, as if her mission had been completed.

There was no suspense in the subsequent meeting process, and Deng Yuanbo undoubtedly became the new commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan region.

After the meeting, the originally crowded and noisy venue gradually quieted down. The crowd gradually dispersed like a tide, leaving only empty chairs and lingering discussions.

Deng Shentong stood up slowly, straightened his clothes, and then walked out of the venue side by side with Zhang Yi beside him.

At this time, the sun had already set, the sky was dyed with a light orange-red, and the sky gradually darkened, as if foreshadowing that night was approaching.

As vehicles drove out of the conference center in twos and threes, the streets in Area A seemed bustling at first because of these vehicles, but soon this bustle disappeared like a flash in the pan, and the streets returned to being deserted again.

The biting wind in the end times whistled past, making people shiver.

Zhang Yi wrapped his windbreaker tightly around himself, and with a puzzled look on his face, he quickly caught up with Deng Shentong who was walking in front of him and asked, "Are you really willing to just give it up like this? It's really unlike you to not fight or compete."

Deng Shentong still walked with light steps. He turned his head slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and replied: "Since uncle wants it, then give it to him."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi couldn't help but frown, showing dissatisfaction, "But you are the one that everyone is looking forward to!"

He always felt that what happened today was like Deng Yuanbo snatching away Deng Shentong's achievements after so long without saying a word, which was too unfair.

Facing Zhang Yi's question, Deng Shentong just shrugged indifferently and said nonchalantly: "Of course I have my plans."

After saying that, he suddenly stopped, stretched out his right hand and gently hooked off the rubber band that tied his hair.

In an instant, a head of snow-white long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, sparkling with charming light under the afterglow of the setting sun, and dancing freely in the wind.

Zhang Yi looked at the god-like man in front of him and forgot the previous topic for a moment, his thoughts drifting away.

Deng Shentong crossed his arms and looked into the distance, "Although my uncle has obtained the position of commander, there will be a lot of troubles behind the scenes."

He sneered: "Why do you want to confine yourself again after you have finally gained freedom? There is nothing wrong with being an investigation captain."

Zhang Yi remained silent for a long time. Deng Shentong raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you thinking about? It doesn't make any difference to you whether I am the commander or not."

"Cough cough," Zhang Yi choked. He looked at his captain rather blatantly, and a suspicious blush slowly appeared on his wheat-colored cheeks.

"I was thinking, now that it's all over, can I..."

Deng Shentong only needed to take one look to know what Zhang Yi was thinking, and was immediately speechless.

He felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and couldn't help rolling his eyes:

"I say you mad dog, can you please have a limit?"

Facing Deng Shentong's rebuke, Zhang Yi not only did not take it seriously, but instead the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yi suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed Deng Shentong into his arms with lightning speed.

At the same time, his other hand quickly opened a space door in the air leading to Deng Garden.

Zhang Yi held Deng Shentong tightly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He eagerly led his men into the space gate while whispering softly:

"You haven't scolded me like this in a long time... Want to do something exciting today? My... Master."
