Chapter 1614 New Suspect
Shen Yuanbao didn't believe that Meng Chao could cover the sky with one hand in the territory of the natives of the alien world as an earthling.
But he absolutely believed that Meng Chao, with the invincible force of a strong man in the divine realm, could achieve "not enough success, but more than enough failure" anywhere!
There are nine super enterprises in total. Why should the Universal Group jump to the opposite side of Meng Chao in order to safeguard the common interests of the nine super enterprises, and be deeply hated by him, and "shoot the bird that sticks out" from then on?
On the other hand, if the attitude of the other eight super enterprises is still extremely tough and does not give Meng Chao any face.
However, the Universal Group can secretly release some goodwill to Meng Chao, even if it is not openly standing on Meng Chao's side, but just secretly exchanging what they have and reaching a tacit understanding.
When developing the middle and lower reaches of the Tiger Nu River, can't the Universal Group be one step ahead and get extra benefits?
As for this benefit, can it offset the disadvantages brought by "establishing a foundation, a commercial crime investigation department, and a supreme combat command center"?
We can calculate this issue slowly and discuss it carefully. It's better to ask for a high price and pay it back at low prices!
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbao coughed lightly and said calmly: "I roughly understand what Meng Xiaoyou means. However, the matter of my assassination has not been investigated clearly yet. The monsters of the Blood Alliance may still be lurking in the Shen family and the Universal Group. Even if I give clear instructions, these guys may make excuses and disobey them.
"So, why don't we wait until we have investigated the assassination case first, pull out the members of the Blood Alliance lurking in the Universal Group, follow the clues, and catch the entire Blood Alliance in one fell swoop, and then slowly discuss it?"
"I understand that as long as I help Senior Shen eliminate the members of the Blood Alliance lurking in the Shen family and the Universal Group and consolidate the Shen family's control over the Universal Group, Senior Shen is willing to make some concessions on the series of changes I just mentioned? "Meng Chao asked.
Shen Yuanbao laughed.
"You and I are both smart people. You should know that I have been ready to give in since I brought you into the world and exposed the most difficult problems of the Shen family to you. "
Shen Yuanbao sighed, "The situation is stronger than people. If it were just me, I would rather fight to the last drop of blood than trade and compromise with the career I have worked hard for a lifetime.
"But I can't help but consider those unpromising descendants.
"You are right. The future is ultimately for 'God Realm 2.0' like you. With your support, the Shen family may not be able to prosper, but if we are enemies with you, without me, the Shen family will definitely fall apart within three to five years, and not a single tile will remain.
"So, under the premise of 'saving the Shen family', I am willing to talk about anything."
"Okay, let's get back to the original topic."
Meng Chao said straightforwardly, "After the observation just now, who do you think is the most suspicious among your descendants and the most likely mastermind behind this shocking assassination?"
"None."
Shen Yuanbao shook his head slowly, his expression becoming more and more dejected, "I didn't think that any of my descendants had the courage and guts to kill their father and seize power.
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I really hope that such a ruthless hero will appear among my descendants.
"Only such a ruthless hero can lead the Shen family and the Universal Group to survive in this world of the survival of the fittest and cruelty.
"But I know my children. They are all flowers that grew up in a greenhouse. They have lived comfortably for half their lives with the halo of "sons of powerful gods". As a result, they have lost the hunger that can stimulate vitality to the limit, lack the ambition to devour everything, and have no patience and perseverance to put this ambition into action.
"Such people, no matter how strong their combat power on paper is, if they are thrown into the wilderness without any rules, it is difficult for them to become the most ruthless and dangerous hunter.
"The farce just now also confirmed my judgment-they are just a bunch of mediocre fools. At most, they can become a qualified dog guarding the house. They have no ability and qualification to replace me. "
Meng Chao certainly couldn't agree or disagree with Shen Yuanbao's praise and criticism of his descendants.
After a moment of silence, he could only ask: "So, besides the descendants, who do you think is the most suspicious person in the Shen family or the Universal Group?"
"Besides the descendants, it's only Shen Yuanbiao." Shen Yuanbao said coldly.
"Your brother?" Meng Chao asked.
"Yes, my youngest brother, after traveling to another world, I raised him up by myself." Shen Yuanbao said word by word.
"Why?"
Meng Chao thought for a while, "Shen Yuanbiao didn't seem to show up just now. What do you think is the mastermind of the assassination?"
"Just now I asked him to hold a press conference and take charge of the situation. For the time being, I don't want the outside world to know about the assassination, and I don't want the outside world to know, because this damn assassination has caused a mess inside the Shen family."
Shen Yuanbao said, "The reason why I say Shen Yuanbiao is the most suspicious is certainly not groundless.
"First of all, he has sufficient motivation.
"You know, I have always let my adopted sons manage all the affairs of the Universal Group, but my adopted sons are outsiders without blood ties after all, and I cannot be completely assured of many things.
“So, after the biological bloodline gradually matured, I also tried to let them participate in the management of the enterprise, and it would be best if I could take back the rights bit by bit without bloodshed.
“But before the biological bloodline matured, I gave the work of monitoring and restricting the adopted son to Shen Yuanbiao.
“Even today, Shen Yuanbiao is still the second-in-command of the Universal Group, similar to a ‘loyal butler’, standing between the ‘adopted son camp’ and the ‘blood camp’, coordinating the relationship between the two sides, and his position is very delicate.
“If I am really assassinated, my descendants will naturally be the first in line of succession, but if the ‘adopted son camp’ and the ‘blood camp’ tear their faces apart, fight each other, and both sides are injured, then it is not impossible for Shen Yuanbiao to ‘benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam’. "
Meng Chao nodded slowly.
He had met the second-in-command of the Universal Group several times in business occasions before.
In his impression, Shen Yuanbiao was different from his elder brother Shen Yuanbao in being tyrannical and overbearing. He was a square-looking, low-key, down-to-earth person who did not have much presence, but was naturally trustworthy.
Perhaps because he had lived in the shadow of his elder brother for a long time, he did not have many opinions, but he could always do everything that Shen Yuanbao arranged.
Such a "loyal butler" is really a good material for acting as a mastermind!
