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

at this time,

Qin Huanhuan followed Deng Ying for a walk in the small garden in the huge backyard of Fengzeyuan.

The two walked and talked, enjoying the fragrant flowers.

Then Deng Ying said, "Huanhuan, why did you two suddenly decide to get your marriage certificate? And you went to the Civil Affairs Bureau right away. Your efficiency is too strong, considering you just went through a disaster and your adoptive father died because of it."

When Qin Huanhuan heard Deng Ying say this, she immediately understood. It turned out that Deng Ying wanted to use Zhang Yingbao's death to disgust her. According to normal people's logic, her adoptive father had just passed away. Regardless of the cause of death, he had not yet been laid to rest, so the family should not hold any celebrations. There are certain customs associated with this.

Qin Huanhuan's eyes flickered a few times as she said, "Actually, Zhang Yingbao can't be considered my adoptive father. I was raised by my mother. He never cared about me for a single day, nor did he fulfill his obligations as an adoptive father. On the contrary, he often asked me for money recently. When I refused to give him money, he tried to find excuses to abuse my mother."

"Sister Ying, you may not know, but Zhang Yingbao has taken a lot of money from Xiao Zhan, always in my name. Xiao Zhan knew what was going on, but he still gave Zhang Yingbao money for my sake. Sister Ying, do you think someone like that deserves to be my adoptive father? Now he's dead, and he died such a wretched death. Am I supposed to uphold those so-called moral ethics and give up my happiness for someone like that?"

Deng Ying could only say, "That's true. After all, the person is gone, but the living must go on. Huanhuan, don't mind me. I was just saying it casually. Please don't take it to heart, or I'll feel bad."

Qin Huanhuan shook her head and said, "I won't mind. From childhood to adulthood, I've seen countless disdainful looks, heard countless harsh words. If I remembered them all, I would have been driven to my death by these foul words long ago if I were even slightly narrow-minded."

"Besides, it was Xiao Zhan who brought up the marriage certificate. Sister Ying, let me tell you a secret. Before we got the certificate, Xiao Zhan and I made an agreement: I could bring up divorce, but he couldn't. If he didn't agree, we wouldn't get the certificate."

As Qin Huanhuan finished speaking, a smug smile appeared on her face, as if some scheme had succeeded...

Deng Ying felt very uncomfortable listening to this!

In fact, she knew that Qin Huanhuan was deliberately saying this to her. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it made her feel bad. After all, she had tried to win Xiao Zhan's love, but he had firmly rejected her. Even with pressure from the Xiao family and Lin Wanrong's intervention, they couldn't break up Xiao Zhan and Qin Huanhuan. Instead, they got married. Who could she complain to? She, the eldest daughter of the Deng family, a returned PhD, and the CEO of an entrepreneurial company, had actually lost to a recent graduate from Tsinghua or Peking University.

The more Deng Ying thought about it, the more suffocated she felt…

As the saying goes, your appearance reflects your heart.

She felt uncomfortable, and her complexion naturally turned sour.

When women encounter emotional issues, it's much harder for them to hide their vulnerability and emotions like men do.

After all, women tend to have more emotional thinking than men.

Qin Huanhuan had been secretly observing Deng Ying's behavior, and she noticed that Deng Ying's expression was not good.

So she asked, "Sister Ying, are you feeling unwell?"

What does it mean to kill someone by destroying their spirit?

Knowing full well that you were feeling unwell, Qin Huanhuan still deliberately asked you questions and showed concern for you, undoubtedly rubbing salt into Deng Ying's wounds.

Deng Ying almost choked. She exhaled, clutched her chest, and took two deep breaths to calm herself down. She lost all interest in chatting and said, "I might have low blood sugar. Let's go back and eat."

Qin Huanhuan feigned surprise and asked, "Oh dear, Sister Ying, why didn't you say so sooner? Sometimes low blood sugar can lead to heart failure and brain hypoxia. Let's go back and eat quickly, so we don't cause any problems!"

Deng Ying was furious. She had intended to take the opportunity to mock and ridicule Qin Huanhuan, but instead, she ended up making herself half-dead with anger.

The fake sisterhood between Deng Ying and Qin Huanhuan has finally come to an end in a formal confrontation, with Qin Huanhuan emerging victorious.

Some people asked why Qin Huanhuan was able to beat Deng Ying this time.

Actually, before coming here, Xiao Zhan had told Qin Huanhuan about his relationship with Deng Ying and had given her a detailed analysis of Deng Ying's personality and way of doing things. On the way here, Xiao Zhan and Qin Huanhuan also discussed the possible situations they might encounter.

It's as if Qin Huanhuan had rehearsed beforehand.

Of course, all of this is thanks to Xiao Zhan's military background. Soldiers plan carefully before acting, know when to stop and gain an advantage, and never fight unprepared battles.

at the same time,

In the tea room,

Then Deng Zhi said, "Xiao Zhan, when you come back this time, I will hand over the 'Sky Judge' system to you. I will then complete my historical mission. After that, I will find a deserted island to live a few peaceful days and spend the rest of my life there."

Xiao Zhan nodded without saying anything.

Deng Zhi had originally promised to hand over the "Sky Judge" system to him within the next two days.

Now they're pushing it back again, and they want him to resolve the issues in Southeast Asia before they'll give it to him.

Deng Zhi could tell that Xiao Zhan was in low spirits.

So he took the initiative to say, "Xiao Zhan, I'm not just making empty promises to you. You should also know that I'm not the only one behind the 'Sky Arbiter' system. It involves the interests of many people and the security of large sums of money. They will also put you through a test until they believe you are capable before they can officially hand over the 'Sky Arbiter' to you."

Xiao Zhan pursed his lips and said, "Brother Zhi, you're overthinking it. I really don't care about these things. To be honest, if you give me the 'Sky Judge' system, it's like I'm carrying a time bomb that could explode at any moment."

"I just feel that you are too cautious. You want me to take over, but you don't trust me. As the saying goes, you should trust those you employ and not employ those you don't trust. This trip to Southeast Asia is the last task I will help you complete. If you or the people behind you still don't trust me, I will have to give up."

"You know my personality; once I make a decision, I will carry it out without hesitation."

Deng Zhi nodded and said, "Xiao Zhan, I know this isn't fair to you, but..."

"Beep beep beep".

Suddenly, Deng Zhi's phone rang.

Deng Zhi was taken aback when he saw the caller ID. He then took his phone to the adjacent bathroom, closed the door, turned on the tap, and answered the call, lowering his voice to ask, "What happened?"

On the other end of the phone, a man said in a hurried voice, "Boss, something bad has happened. Ten minutes ago, the T country's military suddenly launched a military operation against J country, directly bombing several telecom fraud parks near the border with missiles, and also eliminating J country's front-line command post. It is said that none of the hundreds of people in the J country command post escaped; they were all trapped inside. The highest-ranking officer was a lieutenant general, and there were three major generals as well. There were more than a dozen officers at the field level."

"The border between the two countries is in complete chaos now. There are gunshots and explosions everywhere, and large numbers of civilians are fleeing. I just called President Su, but I can't get in touch with her anymore."

Deng Zhi felt a sudden darkness engulf him, and his body swayed. He quickly reached out to grab the edge of the pool, took a deep breath, and said, "Deng Hai, you must find Su Zixing by any means necessary and ensure her safety. Even at great cost, you must find her alive or dead!"
