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

"squeak!"

Shen Jun parked the Hummer in front of the hotel.

Xiao Zhan got out of the car and saw Zhang Weijie, the deputy captain of the bodyguards, walking back from outside the hotel carrying a large bag of things.

At this moment, Zhang Weijie also saw Xiao Zhan and quickly greeted him, "President Xiao, you just got back?"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you doing out in the middle of the night? This place isn't like back home; the security situation here is bad. You should be careful."

Zhang Weijie waved the bag in his hand and said, "Miss wants some snacks, so I'll go to the 24-hour convenience store next door and buy some. I'm carrying a handgun."

Xiao Zhan sneered, "Even if you're carrying a pistol, don't go out alone. It's best to go with someone else. Guns are rampant here, and robberies and murders are commonplace."

Zhang Weijie's expression changed as he said, "I know President Xiao."

"Ding-dong!"

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Deng Ying stepped out. Upon seeing Xiao Zhan, she exclaimed happily, "Xiao Zhan, you're back!"

Xiao Zhan: "Where's your brother?"

Deng Ying: "He's waiting for you in his room!"

Xiao Zhan stepped into the elevator, and Deng Ying followed him in.

Xiao Zhan asked curiously, "Didn't you just come down?"

Deng Ying smiled and said, "I just came down to see if you were back, and also to see if Captain Zhang was back."

"Brother Zhan, my brother just got a phone call and his face turned really pale. He was sitting there smoking nonstop. If anything happens, could you please put in a good word for me?"

Xiao Zhan readily agreed, "Sure, no problem."

Deng Ying happily stepped forward and hugged Xiao Zhan's arm tightly, saying, "Thank you, Brother Zhan. I knew you would agree. Brother Zhan loved me the most when we were little."

Xiao Zhan frowned.

Because Deng Ying was holding his arm against her high, firm breasts, the two soft peaks made his heart race...

"Ding-dong!"

The elevator arrived just then.

Xiao Zhan pulled his arm away from Deng Ying's embrace, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Deng Ying, I hope this is the last time. If Qin Huanhuan sees this, it will cause misunderstandings. Can we keep a certain distance? It's also about respecting each other's choices."

After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he walked out of the elevator and headed towards Deng Zhi's room...

Deng Ying stood there, her pretty face flushing red and then pale, tears welling up in her eyes. Her slender body trembled slightly as she murmured to herself, "What do I lack compared to Qin Huanhuan? Brother Zhan, why don't you like me?"

Xiao Zhan entered the room and saw Deng Zhizheng sitting at the coffee table drinking tea. Without saying a word, he went straight over, sat down, and lifted his two large feet onto the coffee table...

Then, looking at Deng Zhi with a defiant gaze, he said with a smirk, "Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

Just now, Deng Ying said that Deng Zhi received a phone call and then his mental state became abnormal.

Xiao Zhan knew that it must have been Asma who made the call.

Deng Zhi took out two cigarettes, offering one to Xiao Zhan and keeping the other in his own mouth. Normally, Xiao Zhan would light one for him, but today he not only refused to light it for him, but also wouldn't accept the cigarette offered to him.

Deng Zhi awkwardly withdrew his hand and said, "Brother, let me explain. Things are more complicated than you think."

Xiao Zhan's lips curled into a mocking smile as he said, "Even if it's complicated, there has to be a reason. You'd better explain it to me clearly, or I'll head back to China immediately, and you can handle things here yourself."

"Thud!"

Deng Zhi lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "I don't know what Asma told you, but I've never had any ill intentions towards you. I just want to train you more and help you grow up quickly."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow, then pulled out the agreement signed by Asma and tossed it to Deng Zhi, saying, "Take a look for yourself. Do you think it's still necessary to hone my skills?"

Deng Zhi opened the agreement and saw that only Asma had signed it; the rest was blank. He was immediately taken aback and asked, "Why isn't the shareholding percentage written? I previously agreed with Asma to give him 15% of the shares. What does this mean?"

Xiao Zhan sneered, "What I mean is, you can write as much as you want, even zero is fine. And if any of these companies run into trouble in the future, I'll hold Asuma accountable!"

"Hiss..."

Deng Zhi gasped, his sharp eyes fixed on Xiao Zhan as he asked, "How did you do that? Asma has always been very arrogant. He became a general at the age of forty and is also the commander of the Damascus Capital Garrison Command. He holds military power and has a distinguished record of military achievements. He is deeply trusted by President Ibrahim and can be said to be the general with the most promising future in the new Syrian government."

Xiao Zhan grinned and said, "What he does has nothing to do with me. Anyway, he gave me face, and I've resolved the agreement issue for you. Now, give me a quick explanation."

"Phew~~".

Deng Zhi exhaled a puff of smoke, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiao Zhan, what I want to say is, if you know you can't do anything about it, then accept it as fate. Everyone is struggling to make a living. There are no gentlemen in the face of interests, and no heroes in the face of life. If you are in the world, sit quietly and let your heart be as bright as the moon in the sky."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't give me that nonsense. Just tell me, who's the mastermind behind this?"

Deng Zhi smiled wryly and said, "I don't care about famous mountains or immortal abodes, I only care about ordinary life. I just want to cultivate wisdom, cultivate tranquility, and live out the rest of my days."

Xiao Zhan: "There are no heroes in life, but everyone struggling to survive at the bottom is a hero. If you want me to take your place, you must tell me the whole truth. I don't want to do things in a muddled way, and I don't want to die suddenly one day without knowing why."

Deng Zhi: "Okay, I agree, but the time isn't right yet. Don't worry, I'll personally hand you the 'Sky Judge System' and explain the entire operation process to you. So please don't pressure me now, okay?"

Xiao Zhan stared at Deng Zhi and saw the sincerity in his eyes, knowing that pressing him further would be useless...

Since Deng Zhi is able to control such a large amount of capital, he must have some extraordinary abilities.

Some things cannot be rushed and must be done step by step.

Xiao Zhan: "Okay, I won't pressure you now, but from now on, you need to explain everything to me clearly. I don't want this situation to happen again."

Deng Zhi: "Okay."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Xiao Zhan, can you tell me how you dealt with that troublesome Asma?"

Xiao Zhan flatly refused, saying, "No comment."

Deng Zhi laughed awkwardly and said, "Xiao Zhan, at least give me some face. Luckily, it's just you and me here, otherwise, you would have slapped my face to pieces."

Xiao Zhan sneered, "Respect isn't given by others, it's earned. How many more days will it take to finish dealing with the rest?"

Deng Zhi: "What's wrong? Missing your girlfriend?"

Xiao Zhan: "This doesn't seem to concern you."

Deng Zhi chuckled awkwardly and said, "If you're bored, go chat with Ying'er. You two grew up together, know each other well, and have common topics. You should communicate more often. Men, who doesn't make mistakes? There's a saying, 'Women don't love men who aren't a little bad,' and men's words are deceitful, you know what I mean!"

Xiao Zhan was speechless.

He rolled his eyes and said, "I really doubt if you're Ying'er's real brother?"

Deng Zhi said nonchalantly, "You should learn from me. A while ago, the abbot of Tanzhe Temple told me that finding a virgin would bring me good luck."

"So I found a virgin woman, and sure enough, you brought me good luck. There are some things you have to believe. There's a saying that what science can't explain is metaphysics."

Xiao Zhan was truly speechless.

He grinned and said, "Are you running a fever? Why are you talking nonsense?"
