Deng Shentong has been missing for nearly a month since the wedding that ended in failure. Zhu Zheng and Deng Yuanbo carefully concealed the news while busy searching for clues about him.

Zhu Yunque carefully carried the tea and slowly walked into the office.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the two elders sitting at the table with serious expressions, buried in reading the vast amount of information that was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and seemed to be thinking hard about something.

Zhu Yunque's heart sank, and she immediately understood that it seemed that there was still no news about Deng Shentong.

She bit her lips tightly, but finally couldn't suppress her inner anxiety. She mustered up the courage to ask softly, "Still can't find him? Then our wedding..."

Before she finished speaking, Deng Yuanbo's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and Zhu Zheng, who was standing beside her, seemed a little impatient and interrupted her rudely: "Alright! Stop asking questions, put your things down and go out."

Zhu Yunque was stunned for a moment, as if her throat was blocked by something, unable to utter a word. She nodded silently, with an expression of indescribable grievance and helplessness in her eyes, then turned around and quietly left the room.

In fact, she knew better than anyone that if it weren't for her special condition of being the commander-in-chief, Deng Yuanbo would probably not even look down on her as his niece-in-law.

Now, Deng Shentong has mysteriously disappeared on the eve of the wedding. Even if Zhu Yunque knows nothing about it, Deng Yuanbo will involuntarily blame her.

Compared with this marriage contract which existed in name only, the Deng family obviously valued this outstanding family heir more.

Even her uncle Zhu Zheng, who was related to her by blood, could not accept that Blizzard City had lost the one and only Ipsilon.

After Zhu Yunque left, Zhu Zheng turned around and looked at Deng Yuanbo, who looked unhappy, and comforted him: "Yuque is also ignorant, don't pay attention to her, we will continue to investigate."

Deng Yuanbo sighed and said as he flipped through the information in his hand: "Don't blame her. I didn't expect Shentong to be so unstable."

He also secretly wondered in his heart, what if he had not forced Deng Shentong to sign? Would he have just walked away like this?

Even if it is a big deal, you can't do it before getting married.

Then, he flipped over a page of information and glanced at it casually. It was some information sent by spies from Japan.

It's nothing more than some internal unrest in Neon, which seems to be insignificant.

Deng Yuanbo subconsciously wanted to turn it over, but at this moment he saw the words "Giant Shark".

There are not many records about this strange man, only one record that he intercepted a transport ship from Neon Kanto at sea.

Because the battle took place at sea and was encountered by ships from the Huaxu State, there is a detailed record of the battle.

He took a quick glance and felt that the fighting style of this "giant shark" seemed somewhat familiar.

"Hey, Zhu Shuai, take a look at this page." Deng Yuanbo handed the information to Zhu Zheng.

Zhu Zheng took the information and read it carefully. The more he read, the more surprised he became. "This... could this be?"

Deng Yuanbo and Zhu Zheng looked at each other and said in unison:

"Lord of the Ocean?!"

Because of Zhu Zheng's previous guess, they had studied a lot of information about Cardiles these days, so it looked very familiar.

Deng Yuanbo pointed at the battle record in the data and analyzed, "Look here, this kind of battle method of controlling sea beasts, who else can do it except Cartiers?"

Zhu Zheng was silent for a moment. "If it was really Cardiles, then why would he intercept Neon's transport ship? There must be something behind this."

Deng Yuanbo seemed a little excited: "Could it be that Shentong is planning something in Neon Country?!"

He was most worried about the safety of his nephew, and whenever there was any sign of trouble, he would think of news about Deng Shentong.

Zhu Zheng waved his hand: "The situation is unclear, let's keep quiet and continue investigating."

Deng Yuanbo nodded: "That's good, it's better than having no clue at all."

……

Deng Shentong, who was in Tianhai City, had no idea that Zhu Zheng and Deng Yuanbo had guessed that they had gone to the ends of the earth. He lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Ever since Zhang Yi threw him in the snow last time and he survived the disaster again, he has become extremely sleepy.

No matter when Zhang Yi returned home to visit him, Deng Shentong would always bury his head in the quilt without hesitation, ignore him, and continue to sleep soundly.

Zhou Ke'er once explained to Zhang Yi that Deng Shentong's body had basically recovered and he was fine. His current condition might be due to the trauma he had suffered.

He seemed unwilling to see Zhang Yi from the bottom of his heart, and even more unwilling to face the cruel reality, so he chose to hide in his dreams for temporary comfort and escape.

Zhang Yi frowned after hearing Zhou Keer's explanation.

If it were him in the past, he might have rushed into the room and woke the man up roughly, forcing him to respond to him.

But now their relationship can no longer withstand any more trouble, and Zhang Yi is also afraid of the day when Deng Shentong completely ignores him.

He did nothing at first, but just quietly entered his room while Deng Shentong was sleeping.

Zhang Yi tiptoed to the bedside, gently stroked Deng Shentong's hair, and whispered, "Captain, please take care of me."

Deng Shentong seemed to have heard what Zhang Yi said. He moved but did not wake up.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi continued, "I know you're not asleep, can you please pay attention to me? Scold me, don't you want to scold me?"

Even though Deng Shentong closed his eyes, he still frowned, revealing a hint of impatience.

“Deng Shentong…” Zhang Yi picked up a strand of his silver hair that was scattered on the pillow and played with it casually: “You look better when you’re asleep than when you’re sharp-tongued.”

Deng Shentong couldn't help himself when he heard this. He turned his back to him and said sullenly, "Are you annoying? Go away."

The corners of Zhang Yi's mouth slightly raised. He knew that Deng Shentong was willing to talk to him. "Are you still angry with me? ...I didn't mean it."

Deng Shentong did not reply, but sneered.

"I won't bully you anymore." Zhang Yi said seriously.

Hearing this, Deng Shentong became a little angry. What’s the difference between this and teasing?

He opened his bloodless lips and said coldly, "Are you sick, Zhang Yi? Are you pretending that you didn't do anything? Stop pretending, it's disgusting!"

Zhang Yi did not get angry, but sighed softly and said to himself: "Then you have a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow."

He stood up and prepared to leave the room.

However, just as he walked to the door, Deng Shentong's voice came from behind him, "Don't come here, either kill me or don't let me see you again."

Zhang Yi paused, but without turning around, he said ambiguously, "Yes."

After saying that, he slowly closed the door.

Zhang Yi put on a black cloak, looked back at Deng Shentong's closed door, and then disappeared into the space gate.

He hadn't finished his sentence yet.

Yes, Captain, you will soon never see me again.
