In the rebuilt combat command center of Jiangnan Region, Zhu Zheng was sitting in his office browsing through documents.

Zhu Zheng's brows sometimes knitted and sometimes relaxed, and his expression changed with the changes in the content of the documents. He not only had to deal with daily administrative affairs, but also had to pay attention to every detail of the development work to ensure that every step was accurate and correct.

Suddenly, he received a call from Li Guangxiao, the commander of the East China Sea region.

Although their relationship was pretty good, as commanders, they would not take the initiative to contact each other unless it was something urgent.

The East China Sea Region controls the entire southeastern coastal defense of Huaxu State. Could something have happened at sea?

Zhu Zheng's heart tightened and he quickly answered the phone.

"Hey, Lao Li? What's the matter that requires you to come to me in person?"

Li Guangxiao's voice soon came from the other end, with a hint of unclear meaning: "Old Zhu, why didn't I know you had this ability?"

Zhu Zheng frowned, he knew that other regions looked down on him, after all, the Jiangnan region was the weakest.

But what did Li Guangxiao mean by this? He was a little dissatisfied, but he still smiled and said calmly: "Don't keep me in suspense. What's the matter?"

"Are you playing dumb?" Li Guangxiao slammed the table. "You got the source of God, right?"

Zhu Zheng's expression was stern. He had never thought that he could keep this matter secret forever. After all, the large-scale deployment of Yanyun Guards would definitely attract the attention of the coastal defense.

But how did Li Guangxiao know so much? Could it be that there was a spy from the East China Sea region among them...

Without waiting for Zhu Zheng to think about it, Li Guangxiao said hurriedly: "It's fine if you get the Source of God, but how did you manage to incite Kartilas to rebel?"

Cartiers?

Zhu Zheng was bewildered when he suddenly heard the name. He could not connect Cartiers with rebellion. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Stop pretending!" Li Guangxiao said with a chuckle, "You old fox, you still want to hide it from me, your brother."

"We have spies at the Columbia Ocean Fleet Naval Base who say that Cartiers colluded with the Huaxu people to take the Source of God. He is now on the wanted list and his whereabouts are unknown."

Li Guangxiao knocked on the table and continued, "It was only your Jiangnan region that took action some time ago. What happened at sea cannot be hidden from my eyes!"

Zhu Zheng knew all these words, but he didn't understand any of them when put together. How was the news about the Origin of God revealed, and how was it related to Cardiles?

He quickly asked, "Could the news be wrong? Maybe it's a trick by Columbia!"

Li Guangxiao shook his head and said, "We have been dealing with Cartiers for a long time at sea. With his high-profile personality, it is impossible for him not to cause trouble."

"Columbia is indeed looking for him. It is said that this news was found by Cardiles' wife in his communicator."

It is impossible for his wife to actively discredit a powerful person like Cartiers, otherwise she would be destroying her job.

But when it comes to treason, it rises to another level.

The source of God, called the Holy Essence in Columbia, is equivalent to having another Ipsilon. When Douglas heard the news, he must have been furious.

"Besides, Xuanwu hasn't felt the breath of Cardiles for a long time. Maybe something really happened to him."

"But what's your reaction, Old Zhu? Wasn't this something you arranged?" Li Guangxiao sensed something was wrong. If Zhu Zheng had planned this, he wouldn't have asked so many questions.

Zhu Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly thought of a name -

Deng Shentong.

"Ah...haha, maybe it was arranged by my subordinates, and he didn't tell me in advance." Zhu Zhengqiang smiled, "What a big surprise."

"Then I have to thank him!"

Li Guangxiao laughed heartily and said cheerfully: "Help me solve the problem of Kadilais! From now on, Huaxu Kingdom will have a smooth journey on the sea!"

"Old Zhu, you still have such a talent in Jiangnan District? Congratulations, congratulations!"

Li Guangxiao said with some envy: "Then he must be the one who got the source of God?"

"It must be the boy from the Deng family! I heard of his name during the last Eclipse incident. He is really a good young man. The younger generation is pushing the older generation forward."

Zhu Zheng's eyes flashed with complex light, and he nodded and agreed: "It's really good."

"Oh, let's not talk about it! If he wants to do something like this again next time, just find our own people to cooperate with!" Li Guangxiao said unwillingly.

"That's for sure, for sure."

After ending the call with Li Guangxiao, the commander-in-chief's office returned to silence. Zhu Zheng looked at the documents on the desk, but couldn't read a single word.

"Boom!"

He suddenly slammed his fist on the table, but the pain in his hand did not relieve his irritability.

What is this saying that the waves behind push forward the waves ahead?! Deng Shentong had planned so many things behind his back without telling him a single word. Was he planning a rebellion?

Zhu Zheng was so angry that he felt dizzy. He took a deep breath and calmed down a little.

The Deng family is wealthy and powerful. Zhu Zheng’s ability to take the position of commander-in-chief is not only due to his own high position and power, but also inseparable from the support of Deng Yuanbo.

But now it seems that the Deng family's ambition is about to be revealed. I am afraid that they will not be able to resist seizing the position of commander-in-chief before he gets too old.

Deng Shentong's popularity is too high, and his several great achievements have pushed him to the forefront. People will subconsciously choose younger and more capable people to be qualified for the position of commander-in-chief.

The day did not come long ago. A few years alone were not enough for Zhu Zheng to take root in Blizzard City and pave the way for his future life.

If no action is taken, once Deng Shentong becomes the commander-in-chief, Zhu Zheng will lose his usefulness to the Deng family.

Then his rights and wealth will become increasingly less secure as time goes by.

Zhu Zheng's brain was working rapidly with nervousness, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He seemed to have seen himself being excluded from the circle of power and living a miserable old age. Even his own people lost their stable jobs and material supplies because of his downfall.

Zhu Zheng has young children, and he has to pave the way for them.

His eyes once again turned to the Zhu family photo on the desk and locked onto the smiling young woman in it.

Red skylark.

Although he no longer had any hope that his niece could take him down after seeing Deng Shentong's various performances, the older generation always had their own ways.

The marriages of the children of the powerful and wealthy are not based on so-called love, but more often a transaction.

As long as he puts out enough chips, Deng Shentong will have no chance to choose.

Zhu Zhengzhao waved and called his assistant Lan Xincheng.

"Go and ask Uncle Deng Yuanbo to come to my office for a chat."
