Chapter 1618: Cleaning House
??
ng Chao’s words made Shen Yuanbao’s eyes widen, and they froze for a long ti.
Then, he slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. It was as if he had aged ten years.
“I rembered when Ah Biao was still very young, about three or four years old.”
Shen Yuanbao muttered to himself, “At that ti, although I was already a big boy and had the ability to use my fists to create a world, the world was really tough.
“People were all like maggots, crouching in the depths of the broken walls, trying to dig for scraps to eat.
“No matter how good I was at fighting, it was not every day that I could have a good al.
“One ti, I was hired by soone to fight with the Furious Bears Gang. I killed three brave n 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 unhard parts left.
“That ti, the commission I received was five cans of beef that had just been produced on Earth before I transmigrated.
“Back then, canned beef was a rare thing. Many people never knew the sll of canned beef before they transmigrated. There were even people who were willing to sell everything they had—their martial arts, their kidneys, their wives, and even their souls—for a can of fragrant canned beef.
“I brought the canned beef back to my family for them to eat. Everyone was so hungry that they pounced on like wolves when they got a whiff of its aroma. They wanted nothing more than to eat the iron sheet around it.
“Ah Biao was the only one who didn’t eat it. Instead, he cried and hugged carefully. He trembled as he touched the wounds on my body and asked if I was in pain.
“Later, 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.
“I 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 as a birthday present.
“That silly kid didn’t know that once a can of beef was opened, it couldn’t be kept for more than a few days. Before my birthday, the at had already turned rancid.
“Heh, even so, it’s still the most delicious canned beef I’ve ever eaten.
“Even though I’ve eaten countless types of canned at after that and even though I’ve cut off at with still beating nerves, the freshest Hell Beast and Apocalyptic Beast at have never tasted as special.
“From that day onwards, I swore that Ah Biao and I would conquer the world together!
“I 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!”
ng Chao said, “It looks like your relationship with your brothers is really deep, Senior Shen!”
“That’s 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.”
Shen Yuanbao sighed emotionally. “However, when it cos to Ah Biao and the others, our bond is stronger than anything else.Moreover, he’s the most obedient and the most sensible. He knows how to feel sorry for his big brother. How can our feelings not be deep?”
ng Chao could not quite understand Shen Yuanbao’s logic.
“So, you’re hoping that Shen Yuanbiao isn’t the mastermind behind the scenes, Senior Shen?” he probed.
Shen Yuanbao thought about it for a long ti before he slowly shook his head.
“If Shen Yuanbiao is the president of the new Blood Alliance and he’s the high and mighty mastermind who’s controlling everything, then it’s fine,” Shen Yuanbao said
“At the very least, after he kills and takes over everything in the Shen family and Universe Corporation, he’ll be able to make the foundation that I’ve established even stronger!
“I’m afraid that Shen Yuanbiao isn’t the mastermind behind the scenes, and he’s only a chess piece of the real mastermind.
“No matter how awe-inspiring he looks on the surface, in the end, a chess piece that runs amok on the chessboard won’t be able to escape the fate of losing control.
“If that’s the case, I... won’t let Shen Yuanbiao die at the hands of others!”
ng Chao understood.
“Are we going to focus our investigation on Shen Yuanbiao next?”
“Yes. Shen Yuanbiao is a cautious person, and he has full authority over the daily operations of Universe Corporation. It’s difficult for ordinary investigators to get close to him,” Shen Yuanbao said.
“However, now that you are acting as my ‘personal doctor,’ logically speaking, he should take the initiative to approach you and ask you about my situation every now and then.
“I believe so since you are able to go at it alone, Brother ng. 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.
“I don’t need to tell you how to discover clues behind Shen Yuanbiao’s back.”
ng Chao’s thoughts flashed by, and he instantly understood.
“So, the mont you faced the assassination attempt, you already the most suspicious of Shen Yuanbiao,” ng Chao said.
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have suggested it so early and asked to masquerade as your personal doctor.”
Shen Yuanbao grinned.
“I don’t know whether it’s my luck or misfortune to et you, Brother ng,” Shen Yuanbao said.
“However, my greatest advantage is that I’m 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 remains the sa.
“Hmph! It doesn’t matter if it’s the Blood Alliance or the other demons and monsters. Those who want to sche against must be prepared to be dragged to the gambling table and lose their lives!”
...
When ng Chao left the infirmary, he found that Shen Yuanbao’s sons from the ‘adopted children faction’ and ‘blood descendants faction,’ were all waiting for him outside.
Seeing that ng Chao had co out and closed the door to the infirmary, they all sward forward with respectful expressions. They were too afraid to even breathe loudly.
Even if they had so doubts, they did not dare show it. Instead, they treated ng Chao as an extension of the old man’s will.
These people from the upper class used to be highly anticipated on various high-end business occasions in the past. Seeing how everyone’s attention was focused on him, ng Chao remained expressionless.
“Senior Shen is furious with all of you. He doesn’t want to see anyone for the ti being.”
ng Chao said, “He 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.
“I hope that you can understand that the Shen family and Universe Corporation are in a precarious situation at the mont. It’s critical that we work together to get through the next stage.
“If anyone continues to ignore the overall situation without recognizing the big picture at this important ti and only knows how to play their own little tricks and cause a ss, then be careful. Senior Shen will make an example of him and use him as a sacrifice!”
ng Chao glared at them as he exuded Shen Yuanbao’s aura.
