Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1627
Chapter 1627: The Center of the Whirlpool
In private, the pleas and complaints of the eight mega corporations flooded Universe Corporation.
There were even several Deity Realm warriors who sent Shen Yuanbao a private invitation to discuss how to deal with the new situation.
Shen Yuanbao pretended to be seriously injured and unconscious, ignoring all of them.
For the time being, Meng Chao was not concerned about the infighting between the nine mega corporations.
In the next few days, he kept a close eye on Shen Yuanbiao’s whereabouts.
Shen Yuanbao was right. Shen Yuanbiao valued the personal seal, which could control the Shen family and Universe Corporation, more than his own heart. He was unwilling to let it leave his side.
The tracking drug that Meng Chao had left on the personal seal had become something like fluorescent powder to him. No matter where Shen Yuanbiao went or how long he stayed, Meng Chao could see everything clearly.
However, Shen Yuanbiao did not do anything unusual for a few days in a row.
He did not stay in Universe Corporation’s headquarters. He was constantly in the spotlight, facing family members, company employees, and the cameras of various reporters.
He would occasionally return to The Grand View of the Universe and check on his brother’s treatment.
He went back and forth between those places regularly.
Meng Chao did not find him contacting anyone suspicious.
The people he had close contact with did not continue to contact anyone suspicious either.
Meng Chao, who had nothing to gain, turned around and looked at the other successors.
But he did not find any breakthrough that was worth going deep into.
As the Red Creek Project issue had just happened, more and more so-called “truths” were dug out by various media outlets. Meanwhile, there was another matter that involved a lot of Meng Chao’s energy…
That was Ai Lei’s safety.
The reporter, Ai Lei had been the last person to enter the Red Creek Project’s premises before the big explosion and interview the project manager, Shen Yulin.
That was not a secret. After the interview, Ai Lei visited the Red Creek Project’s construction exhibition hall. Many employees of Universe Corporation had seen her.
Later, because she had discovered part of the truth regarding the crystal warehouse’s big explosion, the Blood Alliance hunted her down and Meng Chao saved her.
The car that the two rode in fell into the abyss and turned into a burning fireball.
The outside world did not know about the existence of the Blood Alliance yet.
They only knew that the reporter, Ai Lei, had mysteriously disappeared after she interviewed Shen Yulin and encountered the big explosion.
Those with good intentions naturally made a big deal out of this information. They said that Ai Lei had already been murdered. The murderer was someone with ulterior motives within Universe Corporation. They had a motive since Ai Lei had exposed their secret, hence they killed her to silence her.
Universe Corporation was really wronged in this matter.
The problem was Ai Lei had followed Meng Chao’s orders. After changing her appearance, she had gone into hiding.
The supporters and opponents of Shen Yuanbao, or rather, the supporters and opponents of Universe Corporation, or even the supporters and opponents of the nine mega corporations, had a fierce debate about her living status.
If a reporter who was obligated to expose the truth was killed directly or indirectly by a Deity Realm warrior because she had uncovered some unspeakable secrets…
Then, the seemingly natural law that a Deity Realm fighter would protect and watch over Dragon City seemed to be a big question mark.
Ai Lei had seemingly become the main topic of discussion.
Meng Chao did not dare to let her show her face.
Meng Chao knew that the Blood Alliance, or even the tenth Supernatural Entity, who was hiding behind the Blood Alliance, must be looking for AI Lei.
Once they found her…
The living Ai Lei would become an ice-cold corpse that was beyond recognition.
The evidence on the corpse would be enough to prove that the person who killed her was anyone the Blood Alliance wanted.
Meng Chao was unwilling to let any innocent person die tragically in front of him.
Moreover, he felt that Ai Lei might be able to turn the situation around at the most critical moment.
So, he had asked Ai Lei to continue hiding.
However, Ai Lei’s nature as a reporter was stirring.
“Senior, oh, my God, how is this possible? You actually snuck into The Grand View of the Universe?”
When Meng Chao revealed some of his recent developments to Ai Lei, she was stunned.
This reporter, who specialized in gossip, was completely in awe, and her big round eyes shone like two shining stars.
“What exactly happened within the Shen family? Is Universe Corporation really as the outside world says? Is the management chaotic, with continuous accounts and procurement falsification? Did the major shareholders violate the interests of the minor shareholders, hence the minor shareholders were forced to fight back? Is that why Shen Yuanbao was targeted?
“How is Shen Yuanbao now? Is he really on his last breath, or is he already dead?
“What role did senior play in this? Is He the mastermind behind all of this?”
Meng Chao had a headache facing the reporter’s ten thousand questions.
He asked Ai Lei to be more honest. For the sake of her own life, it was better not to meddle in other people’s business.
“How can I do that?”
Ai Lei righteously said, “Senior, don’t you know how fierce the situation in Dragon City is and how sharp the conflicts are? Since I’m at the center of the whirlpool and have the advantage of being close to the water, I’d hate myself for the rest of my life if I miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and fail to become the most famous reporter in Dragon City!
“Alright, alright. I know that you’re doing this for my own good, Senior. I’ve also been listening to you. All this time, I’ve disguised myself and changed my face so much that even my mother doesn’t recognize me. Moreover, I live in seclusion and never show my face in public.
“However, I’ll definitely have to go online to touch with my past connections. When it’s critical, I’ll be able to lend you a helping hand!
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. No matter what, I’m someone who has published gossip articles on countless Deity Realm warriors. Of course, I know how to hide in the darkest corners of the Internet.
“It’s not that I’m bragging. In terms of combat strength, of course, I can’t compare to you or any other Deity Realm fighter’s finger, Senior.
“However, in terms of concealing my identity on the Internet, forging fake addresses, embedding computer viruses, hacking and anti-hacking, cracking, and even transforming into tens of thousands of people and disguising as internet trolls… a legendary Deity Realm fighter might not be able to defeat me!
“Obviously, I’m not just feeling bored and playing around. In the past few days while you were not around, I’ve done a lot of serious things. I believe that I can definitely help you.
“Senior, look…”
