Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 1616: New Suspect

Shen Yuanbao did not believe that Meng Chao could utilize his identity as an Earthling to dominate the territories of the Other World’s natives.

However, he definitely believed that Meng Chao could do anything he wanted with his invincible strength as a Deity Realm warrior!

There were a total of nine mega corporations. Why would Universe Corporation jump to the side opposing Meng Chao to protect the nine mega corporations’ common interests? There would only be big enmity between him and Meng Chao. From then on, would he not be the first to stand out?

On the other hand, if the other eight mega corporations continued to be extremely stubborn and refuse to give Meng Chao any face, Universe Corporation could secretly release some goodwill toward Meng Chao. Even if they did not stand on Meng Chao’s side openly, they could still communicate with each other in secret and reach a tacit understanding.

Once the middle and lower reaches of the Raging Tiger River were developed, would Universe Corporation not gain additional benefits and be one step ahead as well?

Going back to the benefits, they would be able to offset the disadvantages brought about by the establishment of a foundation, a commercial crime bureau, and a supreme combat command center.

Everyone could slowly make calculations and discuss the issue. They could ask for sky-high prices and pay the money back on the spot!

Thinking about it, Shen Yuanbao coughed lightly. “I roughly understand what you mean, my young friend, Meng. However, the matter of my assassination has yet to be investigated clearly. The demons and monsters of the Blood Alliance are likely still lurking within the Shen family and Universe Corporation. Even if I give clear orders, these guys might still refuse to comply,” he said calmly.

“Therefore, why don’t we investigate the assassination case first and identify the members of the Blood Alliance who are hiding in Universe Corporation? We can follow the clues and catch all the members of the Blood Alliance in one fell swoop. Then, we can discuss it slowly.”

“What I understand is that as long as I help you to eliminate the Blood Alliance members, who are hiding within the Shen family and Universe Corporation, and consolidate the Shen family’s control over Universe Corporation, you are willing to make some concessions on the series of changes I just mentioned, Senior Shen?” Meng Chao asked.

Shen Yuanbao laughed.

“You and I are both smart people. You should know that I’ve been prepared to make concessions ever since I brought you to The Grand View of the Universe and exposed the Shen family’s most thorny problems to you.”

Shen Yuanbao sighed and said, “The situation is stronger than the people. If it were just me, I would rather fight until the last drop of my blood than take out the business that I have worked so hard for my whole life just for a deal and compromise.

“However, I can’t help but consider the future of my disappointing descendants.

“You’re right. In the end, the future is still a Deity Realm warrior 2.0 like you. With your support, the Shen family might not be able to prosper. However, if they become your enemy, the Shen family will definitely fall apart in three to five years without me.

“Therefore, on the premise of ‘protecting the Shen family,’ I’m willing to discuss anything.”

“Alright, let’s go back to our original topic.

“Based on your observations earlier, who do you think is the most suspicious among your children and the most likely to be the mastermind behind the shocking assassination?” Meng Chao asked bluntly.

“Not a single one.”

Shen Yuanbao shook his head slowly, his expression became increasingly dejected. “I never thought that any of my children would have the courage to commit patricide and seize power.

“I don’t care if you laugh at me. I really hope that such a ruthless hero would appear amongst my children.

“Only a ruthless hero, who doesn’t even allow his own family to stand in his way, can lead the Shen family and Universe Corporation in surviving this cruel world where the strong prey on the weak.

“However, I know my children well. They are all flowers that grew up in a greenhouse. They have been living comfortably for half of their lives under the halo of being the children of a Deity Realm warrior. They have no sense of hunger that can stimulate their vitality to the maximum, and they lack the ambition to conquer everything. On top of that, they don’t have the patience and perseverance to put their ambitions into action.

“No matter how strong they are on paper, it will be difficult for them to become the coldest and most dangerous hunters in the wilderness, where there are no rules.

“The farce earlier just confirms my judgment—they are a bunch of mediocre idiots. At most, they can become qualified guard dogs. They’re not capable of replacing me.”

Of course, Meng Chao could not agree or disagree with Shen Yuanbao’s praise and criticism of his descendants.

After a moment of pondering, he could only ask, “Then, apart from your descendants, who do you think is the most suspicious in the Shen family or Universe Corporation?”

“Apart from my descendants, there’s only Shen Yuanbiao,” Shen Yuanbao said coldly.

“Your younger brother?” Meng Chao asked.

“That’s right, my youngest brother. After he transmigrated to the Other World, I raised him,” Shen Yuanbao enunciated each word clearly.

“Why?”

Meng Chao contemplated for a moment. “Shen Yuanbiao didn’t appear just now. What makes you think that he might be the mastermind of the assassination?”

“I asked him to hold a press conference to take charge of the overall situation. For the time being, I don’t want the outside world to know about the assassination. Thanks to this d*mn assassination attempt, the Shen family’s internal affairs are in a mess.”

Shen Yuanbao said, “There is, of course, a reason why Shen Yuanbiao is the most suspicious.

“First of all, he has sufficient motive.

“You know, I have always left Universe Corporation’s affairs to my foster children to manage, but they’re ultimately outsiders who are not related to me by blood. There are many things that I can’t completely trust them with.

“Therefore, once my biological children gradually mature, I’ll try to let them participate in the management of the enterprise. It would be best if they could take back their power bit by bit without bloodshed.

“However, before my blood descendants matured, I left the monitoring and restricting of my foster children to Shen Yuanbiao.

“Even today, Shen Yuanbiao is still the second most important person in Universe Corporation. He’s similar to a loyal butler. He stands between the foster children and the blood descendants, coordinating the relationship between the two parties. His stance is very delicate.

“If I am truly assassinated, my son will naturally be the first in line to inherit everything. However, if the foster children and the blood descendants fall out and start fighting, it won’t be impossible for Shen Yuanbiao to win.”

Meng Chao nodded slowly.

He had seen the number two figure of Universe Corporation a few times in the past when he was in business.

His impression of Shen Yuanbiao was different from his big brother, Shen Yuanbao. He was a down-to-earth, low-key, and square-looking person. He did not have a lot of presence, but he seemed trustworthy.

Perhaps because he had lived in his big brother’s shadow for a long time, he did not have too many opinions. However, he always did everything properly according to Shen Yuanbao’s arrangement.

Such a “loyal butler” could perfectly act as the mastermind behind the scenes!
