Chapter 1658: The Value of a Spy

“If Fifth Uncle really has a son, but no one knows about it for so many years, then this matter is too terrifying!” Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng said in unison.

Their voices were equally grave and sinister.

“It’s not just that.”

Meng Chao said, “Please take a look.”

He led the two successors to a corner of the ward.

After gently moving away a mural, the safe embedded in the wall was revealed.

The safe was made of the sturdiest superalloy material. There was even a layer of crystals inside, which gave off an indestructible aura.

Even if the safe was fired with a tank gun that was filled with armor-piercing bullets, it might not even give way.

But now, its fingerprints, iris, voice prints, and genetic identification systems had all been cracked.

The purely-mechanical lock had also been broken.

The safe was empty, not even a scrap of paper was left behind.

Narrowing his eyes, Shen Yuhe poured spirit energy into them and scanned the unlatched mechanical lock plate.

“The mechanical structure has not been damaged at all. Even the alarm system that’s thinner than a hair hasn’t been triggered. The enemy’s spirit energy is like an invisible stream of water, seeping into the inside of the safe through molecular gaps.”

Shen Yuhe came to a conclusion. “He’s an expert.”

“What’s in the safe?” Shen Yufeng asked.

“I don’t know.”

Meng Chao shook his head. “I only know that Chairman Shen values this safe the most. When he opens the safe, no one else is allowed in the room.”

“It appears that what’s inside is the old man’s lifeblood.”

Shen Yuhe sighed. “For example, documents that can determine Universe Corporation’s ownership.”

“A few days ago, the old master’s private seal already fell into Fifth Uncle’s hands.”

Shen Yufeng’s brows were tightly knitted together, and her face was as cold as ice. “Now, these documents that affect Universe Corporation’s ownership have also fallen into Fifth Uncle’s hands.

“It seems that as long as we, the successors, are dealt with, Fifth Uncle will be able to enter the house and become the new master of the Shen family and Universe Corporation.”

Her words were like a cluster of sparks that ignited the anger and ambition hidden deep in Shen Yuhe’s bones.

The joints all over Shen Yuhe’s body were cracking and popping. The veins on the back of his clenched fist extended all the way to his temples, causing the corners of his eyes to be raised and his face to be extremely hideous.

“Fifth Uncle’s act of playing the fool is too beautiful!”

Shen Yuhe mumbled, “The old man has worked hard all his life. Even in the face of the monster mastermind, he never flinched. I didn’t expect him to do it for someone else instead!”

“Dr. Meng...”

Shen Yufeng stared at Meng Chao and said, “You brought us here and told us all of this. What exactly do you want?”

“I told you. I just want to live.”

Meng Chao calmly said, “I don’t care who becomes the new master of the Shen family and Universe Corporation. Shen Yuanbiao and I don’t have any personal grudges. Even if he becomes the new master, it doesn’t concern me.

“The problem is that I’m already in the middle of the whirlpool. I could kneel in front of Shen Yuanbiao, beg him bitterly, and swear to God that I wouldn’t keep anything from him, but he wouldn’t believe me.

“Therefore, I have no other choice but to support the successors who can let me live to become the new heads of the Shen family and Universe Corporation.”

“Why us?”

Shen Yufeng was still hesitant. “You could have chosen a successor who was even stronger

“It’s because the two of you seem to be relatively small, and both of you have major flaws.”

Meng Chao explained, “The genetic medicine business isn’t Universe Corporation’s main business to begin with. Furthermore, a scandal has just erupted. It’s simply a hot potato.

“As Universe Corporation’s personnel director, you’re also in charge of supervising the education, rewards, and punishments of the family’s children. It sounds glamorous, but this is a typical position that is dependent on the head of the family. It lacks independence and strength to take charge.

“I feel that compared with the other heirs, the two of you seem to need me more. There’s a better chance for me to sell my intelligence and strength to you for a good price.”

His words were a little harsh.

However, they dispelled Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng’s doubts a bit.

Shen Yuhe smiled. “Are you sure that we’ll believe you and fight Shen Yuanbiao to the death?”

“Of course, you can choose not to believe me.”

Meng Chao calmly said, “Just pretend that you’ve never been here before, and you don’t know that there’s something else going on with Chairman Shen’s death. Go back to your plot of land and sleep peacefully.

“There’s only one thing. I am not only afraid of death but also of pain.

“If Chairman Shen’s real murderer tortured me before he killed me, I would definitely not be able to keep my mouth shut and not tell anyone that you’ve been here before.

“Once the murderer finds out the two of you know that Chairman Shen’s death is fishy, do you think that the murderer will let you go?”

Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng’s expressions became hideous.

In fact, whether they knew about their father’s death or not, it was likely that their fifth uncle, Shen Yuanbiao, was involved.

Once Shen Yuanbiao became the new master of the Shen family and Universe Corporation, he would not sit idly by and watch them enjoy their current positions for too long.

When the one with power changes, his subordinates will change as well...

In order to pave the way for his son, Shen Yuanbiao would definitely treat his nephew and niece, who were sitting in key positions, as a thorn in his side.

As the two siblings thought about it, their breathing grew heavy.

“You mentioned earlier that you wanted to use intelligence and strength in exchange for something from us?”

Shen Yufeng’s sharp senses allowed her to catch the key point in Meng Chao’s words. “We already know about your intelligence. What do you mean by strength? At this juncture, brilliant medical skills won’t be of much use.”

“Of course I’m not talking about medical skills.”

Meng Chao smiled. “I stated in the beginning that I was a spy that Chairman Shen placed long ago.

“Chairman Shen also set up many spies like me, both inside and outside Dragon City.

“Now that Chairman Shen has suddenly passed away, we spies still want to have a better life, don’t we?”

Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng were both moved.

The two swallowed their saliva and thought about the truth of Meng Chao’s words, as well as the strength of the “spies.”

Upon careful scrutiny, this indeed seemed like the old man’s modus operandi.

As a powerful man who managed to develop a small mining team into one of the largest mining groups in Dragon City in just a few decades, the old man’s simple and rough style was just a disguise.

On the surface, he was rude and reckless.

In his bones, he was meticulous and cautious.

Secretly training a secret force that no one knew about was something the old man could do.

Besides, the inclination of this secret force likely determined the ownership of Universe Corporation’s supreme throne.
