Zhu Zheng was betting that the Deng family wouldn't dare to make a big deal out of this, because doing so would instead expose the fact that they themselves had ill intentions towards the position of commander of Blizzard City.

Deng Shentong and Deng Yuanbo had obviously guessed what he could think of. Sometimes the struggle for power is like this. No matter how hard they try to hide it on the surface, everyone knows it clearly.

However, what Zhu Zheng did not expect was that the Deng family was actually willing to risk their lives and break off relations with him, in such an outrageous way.

These days, rumors are everywhere in Blizzard City that the famous Deng Shentong brought a male host from a bar back to the Deng family and kept him by his side. The legal wife Zhu Yunque got very angry, and then the male host was assassinated in Deng Garden.

Both the Zhu family and the Deng family are the most unreachable characters in Blizzard City. Their every move is closely watched, and Deng Shentong is the center of heated discussion.

For ordinary civilians, what they like to hear most is the dirty deeds of those high-ranking officials in private.

These people, who are usually regarded as god-like beings, are now in such an embarrassing situation, which undoubtedly gives the common people an inexplicable pleasure.

They were happy to see these big shots, whom they would feel honored to even look at on a normal day, being associated with such shameful things. This contrast made them feel restless and excited.

As a result, the news spread quickly, like an unstoppable torrent. Word of mouth spread quickly to every corner of the city.

By the time Zhu Zhengying realized the seriousness of the problem and tried to control the situation, it was too late. The situation had already gotten out of control, like a wild horse running out of control.

Zhu Zheng was sitting in a spacious and bright office, frowning. He was holding the rumor document tightly in his hand, feeling heavy-hearted.

Deng Shentong is the only Ipsilon in Blizzard City. He has great strength and noble status, and has become a god-like existence in people's minds. Although the rumors are getting more and more intense, the fire has never burned him.

Because in the eyes of everyone, Deng Shentong was aloof and peerless, like an immortal descending from the earth; and that lowly and lowly male host was in sharp contrast to him, as if they came from two different worlds. So no one would ever connect the two together.

People thought that Deng Shentong must have other reasons for bringing this man back, so they naturally ignored the matter. At the same time, the focus of public opinion shifted to Zhu Yunque.

At the grand wedding a year ago, although Zhu Yunque was one of the most outstanding women in Blizzard City, everyone still felt that she and Deng Shentong were not a good match.

After all, Deng Shentong's status is high and no one can match him, and the reason why Zhu Yunque was able to marry him is simply because Zhu Zheng is sitting in the commander-in-chief position.

Because she felt that she was not worthy, she developed a sense of inferiority, which in turn triggered a strong sense of unwillingness. When a man at the bottom of society was favored by Deng Shentong, she finally couldn't stand it and her emotions completely exploded.

However, this is only for a man. What if it is a woman? What if this woman not only threatens her position, but also has the possibility of being pregnant with the blood of the Deng family? What will happen then?

Everyone may have different answers in their minds, but there is no doubt that everyone will guess based on the actual situation.

In fact, putting aside all the complicated information, for those who are interested, what they heard were only a few key points: Zhu Yunque, as a woman with no power, was able to mobilize killers to commit crimes so arrogantly in the Deng family, so who provided these people to her?

All clues seem to point to Zhu Zheng.

If one thinks about it carefully, one will feel horrified. This incident was caused by jealousy alone, which led to a massacre in the Deng family. So, if there was no male PR, why did these killers come? Who is their real target?

The answer is self-evident.

Deng Shentong's reputation is too great, and it has been common since ancient times that his achievements have overwhelmed his ruler, so people would easily think of this.

The hero works hard every day for the safety of Blizzard City, but the person next to him is a poisoned blade, ready to kill him at any time.

Since ancient times, the weak have been easily favored by public opinion. When people sigh, they will also be very dissatisfied with Zhu Zheng.

Even if they could not say it on the surface, they would definitely accuse Zhu Zheng behind his back of being too cruel and ruthless, using despicable means, and being unworthy of being an official.

People's hearts are like wildfires, and a little flame can start a prairie fire. Zhu Zheng knew that the Deng family was paving the way to replace him, and he was furious, but he could do nothing about it.

Zhu Zheng threw down the information in his hand, slammed the table in extreme anger, and said with gritted teeth: "Deng Yuanbo, this old fox has no shame! He plays a good chess game!"

Zhu Zheng was filled with anger and resentment, but he had no way to vent it. He knew that he had fallen into the Deng family's trap, and there would be a bigger storm waiting for him in the future.

Zhu Zheng calmed down a little and looked at the snow outside the window, the doomsday town in the snow.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

The building is about to collapse. If he can't hold on, the consequence will be that he will lose everything he has now.

A gust of cold wind blew into the room through the gap in the window, lifting up the gray hair on his temples.

In fact, he is already sixty years old this year.

In his early years, he was busy fighting for power. He can be said to have children in his old age. His two children are still young and have not grown up to the age where they can stand on their own.

He knew the old commander who was eliminated by Li Changgong, the commander of the Southwest Region. He was a respected leader. Before the end of the world, Zhu Zheng had to bow respectfully whenever he saw him.

But he died.

As he was old and had no special abilities, it was as easy for Li Changgong to crush him to death as it was to crush an ant. Maybe some people would complain about him at first, but now not many people still remember such an experienced old man.

Everyone only remembers Li Changgong, the King of the Northwest.

It has been three years since the end of the world. Three years is neither long nor short. It is not enough for a young boy to grow up, but it is enough for people to forget someone.

Zhu Zheng didn't want to be forgotten. Even though the tide of history could not be changed, he didn't want to be like the old commander who had struggled to get to where he is today, finally leaving his footprints behind, only to have them disappear without a trace after a heavy snowfall.

After all, no matter how old he is, a man always has a passion in his heart. Even though he is old, he still wants to fight, and he doesn't want to lose.

Zhu Zheng let out a long sigh and sorted out his mood. His eyes were a little sore from long hours of use. He rubbed his eyelids while dialing the number of his assistant Lan Xincheng.

"Hey, what's up, Zhu Shuai? What can I do for you?"

Zhu Zheng knocked on the table and said slowly, "Go and help me check the person named Zhang Yi."
