Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng were both smart people.
Meng Chao had already said so much. If they did not know what to do, they would not be qualified to be Shen Yuanbao’s successor at all.
Five minutes later, the two siblings sneaked out of the ward like ghosts and carefully dug out their trap for Shen Chenglie and Shen Yuanbiao.
From Meng Chao’s point of view, the trap had already been set in place the moment they stepped into the ward.
Shen Chenglie and the other adopted children were constantly paying attention to Shen Yuanbao’s condition.
!!
Even if they were not in The Grand View of the Universe, they could still place dozens of pairs of eyes there.
Even if a fly flew into Shen Yuanbao’s ward, Shen Chenglie would be able to figure out the fly’s gender within five minutes.
With the arrow in the bow, he had no choice but to shoot. If Shen Chenglie could not curb his ambition, he had no choice but to get involved in this life-and-death chess game!
In the next few days, the undercurrents in Dragon City surged as Meng Chao expected. The air became increasingly tense with each day.
Although the crowd surrounding Universe Corporation’s headquarters had dispersed, the anger ignited by The Bright Light’s explosion was clearly not going to be extinguished so easily.
Feeling the immense pressure from the tens of millions of citizens of Dragon City, almost all the relevant departments of the Supernatural Tower were mobilized. They worked twenty-four hours a day to search the streets and alleys of Dragon City, every nook and cranny of every possible dangerous criminal had been searched thoroughly.
Although the true culprit had yet to be found, it was unintentional and caused quite a number of bad apples among the superhumans.
Most of these guys were people who used extraordinary powers to commit crimes.
During the Monster War, the information base of Dragon City’s citizens and the city’s surveillance system had been chaotic and full of loopholes.
The acid and fangs of the monster could tear the big data center that stored a large amount of information about the citizens into pieces and raze it to the ground.
In the extremely cruel street battles, countless high-rise buildings were turned into ruins, and the number of dead, injured, and missing people was even more numerous.
Many people lost their whole families, and even the entire neighborhood was turned into a sea of fire. Those who escaped by luck suffered from post-traumatic stress disorders and stress-related amnesia. Not remembering their own identity and not recognizing their neighbors were all very normal things.
Under such circumstances, it was often difficult to figure out who had exactly escaped from the depths of the ruined buildings, with his face covered in dust and his face in a mess.
After this person left the hospital, he could easily spend hundreds of thousands to obtain a brand new identity certificate.
Most superhumans were good at changing their appearance and hiding their tracks.
There were also quite a number of factions that especially liked to keep these superhumans, who had criminal records and were still on the run, to protect their own interests.
Therefore, even if these people really broke the law, they could often live comfortably and leisurely in the gray area.
In the past, the secret police who were responsible for solving supernatural crimes had limited manpower and energy, so they could only focus on specific targets. They would hone in on the “lost ones” who had gone crazy and committed heinous crimes, which led to an extremely terrible impact.
They were often powerless when it came to supernatural crimes that did not cost human lives.
Currently, the endurance of ordinary citizens had reached a breaking point, forcing the Supernatural Tower to increase its operational efficiency by 300% and show its determination to be impartial and brave. The supernatural criminals had turned into street rats that everyone wanted to beat up.
Naturally, many old and unspeakable cases were involved. It was inevitable that there would be chaos.
As for Universe Corporation, which was at the center of the vortex, it was in an even more turbulent situation.
In just twenty-four hours, news of Shen Yuanbao’s death had turned from a top secret to a well-known secret among many of his successors.
However, these successors had a tacit understanding and maintained a high degree of unity. None of them made the news of the old master’s death public.
On the contrary, Shen Yuanbao’s death was like a starting gun that had been fired during the race for supreme power. The veil of fatherly love, filial piety, and brotherly respect was instantly torn to shreds by the successors who launched an attack with their claws, teeth, and swords that shone with cold light.
Within a few days, a few scandals and business cases broke out in Universe Corporation.
The target was Shen Yuanbiao, the chairman’s confidant.
In fact, several similar confidants mysteriously disappeared at this critical moment.
From the depths of The Grand View of the Universe, there was another piece of news. It was said that the old man was alarmed by the fact that Universe Corporation’s headquarters was almost besieged a few days ago.
While Lu Siya had stopped the angry crowd in time, no one could guarantee that similar incidents would not happen again and again.
Therefore, the old man later stated that at such a precarious time, the top priority was to ask the CEO to set up a high-level investigation team to solve the assassination attempt against him and The Bright Light’s explosion from Universe Corporation’s point of view.
During this period, the CEO did not need to worry about Universe Corporation’s daily operations. The younger generation of the Shen family could do it on his behalf.
Obviously, Shen Yuanbao could no longer personally express his feelings.
However, when Shen Chenglie, the other adopted children, Shen Yuhe, and the other blood descendants spoke in unison, they made a big scene.
For Shen Yuanbiao, the CEO who acted as the head steward, the pressure was unquestionable.
It was clear from Shen Yuanbiao’s expression.
In recent days, Meng Chao had been staying close to Universe Corporation’s headquarters.
Through his high-powered military binoculars, he could see that Shen Yuanbiao’s expression had gone from calm and collected to unease.
His eyes were bloodshot, with wrinkles around the corners of his eyes. There were several hundred strands of white hair on his temples, and the corners of his mouth often twitched nervously. It looked like he did not know where to vent his anger, and he was extremely anxious.
Moreover, Meng Chao noticed that Shen Yuanbiao would often make similar small movements.
Every three to five minutes, he would subconsciously pinch something around his arms.
Meng Chao speculated that it was the private seal that Shen Yuanbao had given to him.
It seemed that this seemingly honest steward did indeed have a desire for power that was no less than his elder brother.
“If Shen Yuanbiao is really related to the Blood Alliance, he likely won’t be able to hold it in any longer.”
More than seven hundred meters away, Meng Chao made his judgment as he monitored Shen Yuanbiao from afar.
Sure enough, on the afternoon of the third day after Meng Chao had secretly met Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng…
Shen Yuanbiao’s movements changed for the first time in the past half a month.
He deviated from his usual schedule and went to an unremarkable private cultivation club located in the cultural district.
