Chapter 1618: Cleaning House
Meng Chaoâs words made Shen Yuanbaoâs eyes widen, and they froze for a long time.
Then, he slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. It was as if he had aged ten years.
âI remembered when Ah Biao was still very young, about three or four years old.â
Shen Yuanbao muttered to himself, âAt that time, although I was already a big boy and had the ability to use my fists to create a world, the world was really tough.
âPeople were all like maggots, crouching in the depths of the broken walls, trying to dig for scraps to eat.
âNo matter how good I was at fighting, it was not every day that I could have a good meal.
âOne time, I was hired by someone to fight with the Furious Bears Gang. I killed three brave men who were even tougher than a Demonic Halberd Pig, and I broke almost eight of my bones. I also sustained more than ten slashes on my face and body. There were hardly any unharmed parts left.
âThat time, the commission I received was five cans of beef that had just been produced on Earth before I transmigrated.
âBack then, canned beef was a rare thing. Many people never knew the smell of canned beef before they transmigrated. There were even people who were willing to sell everything they hadâtheir martial arts, their kidneys, their wives, and even their soulsâfor a can of fragrant canned beef.
âI brought the canned beef back to my family for them to eat. Everyone was so hungry that they pounced on me like wolves when they got a whiff of its aroma. They wanted nothing more than to eat the iron sheet around it.
âAh Biao was the only one who didnât eat it. Instead, he cried and hugged me carefully. He trembled as he touched the wounds on my body and asked if I was in pain.
âLater, I snatched half a can of beef from the others before they could finish it, and I left it for Ah Biao to enjoy alone.
âI never thought that the little guy would refuse to eat it. He secretly hid it and said that he would wait for my birthday and give it to me as a birthday present.
âThat silly kid didnât know that once a can of beef was opened, it couldnât be kept for more than a few days. Before my birthday, the meat had already turned rancid.
âHeh, even so, itâs still the most delicious canned beef Iâve ever eaten.
âEven though Iâve eaten countless types of canned meat after that and even though Iâve cut off meat with still beating nerves, the freshest Hell Beast and Apocalyptic Beast meat have never tasted as special.
âFrom that day onwards, I swore that Ah Biao and I would conquer the world together!
âI wanted to end this bloody era. I wanted to climb up at all costs and build a huge foundation. Then, I wanted to collect all the canned beef in the city so that my brothers could eat as much as they wanted!â
Meng Chao said, âIt looks like your relationship with your brothers is really deep, Senior Shen!â
âThatâs right. We can have many children, even though they are our own flesh and blood. Moreover, with Deity Realm cell activity and our astronomical resources, we can always have more children.â
Shen Yuanbao sighed emotionally. âHowever, when it comes to Ah Biao and the others, our bond is stronger than anything else.Moreover, heâs the most obedient and the most sensible. He knows how to feel sorry for his big brother. How can our feelings not be deep?â
Meng Chao could not quite understand Shen Yuanbaoâs logic.
âSo, youâre hoping that Shen Yuanbiao isnât the mastermind behind the scenes, Senior Shen?â he probed.
Shen Yuanbao thought about it for a long time before he slowly shook his head.
âIf Shen Yuanbiao is the president of the new Blood Alliance and heâs the high and mighty mastermind whoâs controlling everything, then itâs fine,â Shen Yuanbao said
âAt the very least, after he kills me and takes over everything in the Shen family and Universe Corporation, heâll be able to make the foundation that Iâve established even stronger!
âIâm afraid that Shen Yuanbiao isnât the mastermind behind the scenes, and heâs only a chess piece of the real mastermind.
âNo matter how awe-inspiring he looks on the surface, in the end, a chess piece that runs amok on the chessboard wonât be able to escape the fate of losing control.
âIf thatâs the case, I⌠wonât let Shen Yuanbiao die at the hands of others!â
âAre we going to focus our investigation on Shen Yuanbiao next?â
âYes. Shen Yuanbiao is a cautious person, and he has full authority over the daily operations of Universe Corporation. Itâs difficult for ordinary investigators to get close to him,â Shen Yuanbao said.
âHowever, now that you are acting as my âpersonal doctor,â logically speaking, he should take the initiative to approach you and ask you about my situation every now and then.
âI believe so since you are able to go at it alone, Brother Meng. In the middle and lower reaches of the Raging Tiger River, the natives of the Other World, who are completely different from the people on Earth, are doing very well.
âI donât need to tell you how to discover clues behind Shen Yuanbiaoâs back.â
Meng Chaoâs thoughts flashed by, and he instantly understood.
âSo, the moment you faced the assassination attempt, you already the most suspicious of Shen Yuanbiao,â Meng Chao said.
âOtherwise, you wouldnât have suggested it so early and asked me to masquerade as your personal doctor.â
âI donât know whether itâs my luck or misfortune to meet you, Brother Meng,â Shen Yuanbao said.
âHowever, my greatest advantage is that Iâm never afraid of taking a gamble! Back when I was empty-handed and had nothing, or now, when I have a big business and a lot of resources, that part of me remains the same.
âHmph! It doesnât matter if itâs the Blood Alliance or the other demons and monsters. Those who want to scheme against me must be prepared to be dragged to the gambling table and lose their lives!â
When Meng Chao left the infirmary, he found that Shen Yuanbaoâs sons from the âadopted children factionâ and âblood descendants faction,â were all waiting for him outside.
Seeing that Meng Chao had come out and closed the door to the infirmary, they all swarmed forward with respectful expressions. They were too afraid to even breathe loudly.
Even if they had some doubts, they did not dare show it. Instead, they treated Meng Chao as an extension of the old manâs will.
These people from the upper class used to be highly anticipated on various high-end business occasions in the past. Seeing how everyoneâs attention was focused on him, Meng Chao remained expressionless.
âSenior Shen is furious with all of you. He doesnât want to see anyone for the time being.â
Meng Chao said, âHe asks that you think carefully about what you have done in the past and what you can do for the Shen family, Universe Corporation, and even Dragon City in the future.
âI hope that you can understand that the Shen family and Universe Corporation are in a precarious situation at the moment. Itâs critical that we work together to get through the next stage.
âIf anyone continues to ignore the overall situation without recognizing the big picture at this important time and only knows how to play their own little tricks and cause a mess, then be careful. Senior Shen will make an example of him and use him as a sacrifice!â
Meng Chao glared at them as he exuded Shen Yuanbaoâs aura.
