Chapter 1619: Shen Yuanbiao

Many of the Shen family disciples had secretly been trying to look into Meng Chao’s background.

There were also those who had thought about roping in this mysterious “private doctor.”

Some had even thought about whether they could force the old man’s private doctor to lean toward their side as a last resort.

However, none of them expected Meng Chao to release such a fierce aura. It was as if the old man himself had broken out of the door and stood in front of them.

Many of the Shen family disciples turned pale with fright, and they became even more respectful and fearful of Meng Chao.

Before Meng Chao could disperse the many Shen family disciples, another uninvited guest arrived at The Grand View of the Universe.

It was Shen Yuanbiao, the suspected mastermind of the assassination and member of the Blood Alliance. He was the one whom Meng Chao and Shen Yuanbao had just been talking about.

While most of the Shen family disciples had gathered at The Grand View of the Universe and were concerned about the old man’s injuries, Shen Yuanbiao had remained at Universe Corporation’s headquarters. He had been dealing with the various reporters, the Azure Alliance, and the other eight mega corporations.

That was Shen Yuanbao’s idea.

On one hand, he was suspicious of his younger brother. He did not want Shen Yuanbiao to know how serious his injuries were.

On the other hand, the situation outside was incredibly chaotic. He needed an important, qualified figure to take charge of the situation.

Furthermore, Shen Yuanbiao was well-known and able to control situations within the Shen family.

If he had been present, the foster children and blood descendants might not have been able to quarrel. Then, Shen Yuanbao would have lost a great opportunity to see the cracks in the Shen family.

Finally, letting Shen Yuanbiao take charge of the overall situation outside also represented Shen Yuanbao’s full trust in him.

If he used that trust to do something that would harm the family and business but benefit the Blood Alliance, then he might be exposed.

Meng Chao did not expect Shen Yuanbiao to insist on seeing Shen Yuanbao.

He claimed that something big had happened and that he needed his brother to make the decision himself.

It was Meng Chao’s first time seeing Shen Yuanbiao after entering the Deity Realm.

It was also Shen Yuanbiao’s first time meeting Meng Chao, the “private doctor.”

They only exchanged glances for half a second before they both looked away at the same time.

In that half a second, Shen Yuanbiao realized that Meng Chao was definitely not a mere personal doctor.

Meng Chao also realized that Shen Yuanbao was right. His younger brother did not seem like an ordinary Heaven Realm fighter.

That was because the spirit magnet in his body was stirring.

It was as if he had sensed an incomparably delicious… dish.

After his own recovery and Meng Chao’s treatment, as well as soaking in the gene reagent mixed with Apocalyptic Beast blood, Shen Yuanbao’s injuries temporarily stabilized.

Since Shen Yuanbiao wanted to see him, he was not going to be afraid. Now, he would confront his younger brother, whom he loved and hated, without the smell of gunpowder and blood.

However, the news that Shen Yuanbiao brought was a little out of Shen Yuanbao and Meng Chao’s expectations.

“The news has been leaked!”

Shen Yuanbiao’s facial features were similar to Shen Yuanbao’s, but his face was slightly more square. That made his countenance appear “calmer” than “more domineering,” giving people the feeling that he was dependable.

However, at that moment, Shen Yuanbiao, who was known for his calmness and reliability, had flames in his eyes. His forehead was covered in glistening sweat, and his expression was horrid.

He showed Shen Yuanbao and Meng Chao the news that had just spread all over the Internet.

It was news of Shen Yuanbao’s assassination attempt and serious injuries.

Meng Chao glanced at it a few times.

He discovered that not only was the time and location of the news quite accurate but there were even reporters who had sneaked into Raging Waves Mountain Range and taken dozens of photos of the assassination from different angles. It was a mess.

The wrath of the gods was no small matter. All the corpses, including the biological weapons created in the Blood Flower laboratory, had been immediately cleaned up.

However, many trees within several hundred meters of the scene of Shen Yuanbao’s assassination had been uprooted. Numerous flowers and trees had also burned fiercely, turning into black charcoal.

Those traces could not be cleaned up at a moment’s notice.

Anyone with a sharp eye could tell that a soul-stirring battle had just taken place in the area.

“How did you handle it?”

Shen Yuanbao glared at Shen Yuanbiao.

“Brother, the assassination attempt happened on a public road, not in Universe Corporation’s industrial park. That area isn’t our private property. If we block the reporters from entering, it will only make us look guilty like we’re trying to cover something up,” Shen Yuanbiao said awkwardly.

“Besides, technology has been growing more and more advanced lately. They have installed advanced lenses made of crystals and adopted cameras based on new imaging technology. Even a person’s hair can be captured clearly from more than ten kilometers away.

“Look, there are a lot of aerial photos here. They were all taken by reporters flying above the place where you were attacked in an armored airship.

“We can’t seal off the entire airspace, can we That would cause too big of a commotion!”

Shen Yuanbiao was right.

In the end, a piece of paper could not contain the fire.

Shen Yuanbao was wondering whether or not his brother had personally leaked the matter.

Was this his way of showing the outside world Shen Yuanbao’s weakness and forcing Shen Yuanbao to abdicate and give up his position?

Thinking about it carefully, the possibility was not high.

That was because Shen Yuanbao and Universe Corporation were too tightly bound.

If this giant pillar fell, Universe Corporation would not fall apart, but at least it would suffer a great loss.

They needed to inject powerful good news in time, such as reaching a strategic agreement with Meng Chao, the leader of the new generation of Deity Realm powerhouses. Then, through Meng Chao’s hands, they could bring in more partners and business opportunities from beyond Monster Mountain Range.

If they refused, it would be impossible for Universe Corporation to recover its current size and valuation within three to five years. It would even face the risk of falling apart.

It was probably not in Shen Yuanbiao’s interest to get hold of such a weakened and unstable Universe Corporation.

Moreover, after this matter was made public, it might attract attention and investigation from all sides.

Not only was Shen Yuanbao the head of the Shen family, but he was also one of the few Deity Realm warriors of the older generation in Dragon City. He was Dragon City’s superhero and a human-shaped nuclear weapon.

Could the assassination attempt on him be resolved by relying on the Shen family’s internal investigation?

Now that the matter was exposed, the Supernatural Tower, the Survival Committee, the adjudicator court, the Research Department, and even the Red Dragon Army might intervene.

If Shen Yuanbiao was truly the mastermind behind the assassination attempt, why would he seek trouble and his own death?

Most importantly, Shen Yuanbao and Shen Yuanbiao had fought side by side for so many years. They knew each other’s character well.

Shen Yuanbiao should know that aside from death, no other power could pull Shen Yuanbao down from his throne of power in Universe Corporation, let alone force him to abdicate voluntarily.
