Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shen Yufeng and Shen Yuhe looked at each other. They both understood what Meng Chao was trying to imply.
“Dr. Meng, are you saying...”
Shen Yufeng probed, “...that the old man was murdered?”
“I’m just saying that with the old man’s strength, his internal organs would all be crystallized. Even if he was truly at the end of his rope, he would still be able to hold on for another twenty-four hours. When he sees the person he wants to see, he would be able to say what he wants to say before he passes away.”
Meng Chao said, “It shouldn’t have been like this. In a short half an hour, many of his organs died of exhaustion, and before he died, he didn’t leave any useful information.”
“He might have left something behind.
“However, the person who caused the old man’s death has completely erased it,” Shen Yuhe said coldly.
Shen Yufeng was shocked. “Who could have sneaked in here without anyone noticing and caused the old man’s death before taking all the information?”
“Me.”
Meng Chao pointed at his nose and smiled bitterly. “I’m Chairman Shen’s personal doctor. No matter who investigates this, I’m the first suspect.
“Even though I didn’t do it, if the real culprit wanted to divert attention from himself, he would stick a lot of evidence on me and make me the scapegoat. Then, he would kill me to silence me and make sure there’s no evidence!”
Shen Yuanbao had nearly a hundred children.
Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng had fought their way out of the encirclement of so many children and occupied key positions in the top management of Universe Corporation. Naturally, they were all quick-witted and meticulous people.
......
The two of them immediately understood. “That’s why you didn’t publicize the news of the old man’s death, Dr. Meng. Instead, you secretly summoned the two of us here in his name?”
“That’s right.”
Meng Chao’s face was discolored with a faint aura of death. His eyes gradually turned red as he gnashed his teeth and said, “I can guarantee that if news of Chairman Shen’s death is announced today, I won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow!
“To be honest, I have no interest in who inherits the Shen family. I only want to keep my life. Since I can’t escape this calamity, I can only resort to any means to survive!”
Meng Chao’s exquisite performance did not move Shen Yufeng easily.
After all, Shen Yufeng was also a skilled actress.
She glanced at the medical cabin filled with hibernation medicine with a suspicious gaze.
She really wanted to open the hatch and confirm her father’s death in person to find out the cause.
But on second thought, there was no point in doing so.
She was not a doctor who understood the mysteries of the human body.
If the doctor before her had intentionally concealed or even faked the cause of death, she would not be able to find out in a short period of time either.
Of course, there was also a trusted medical team behind her, equipped with senior experts and the most advanced equipment.
But the other party was right.
With the exception of the three people in the ward, no one could know about this for the time being.
Otherwise, not only would the real culprit speed up his silencing, but the other successors, including the strong and unruly adopted children, would all make a move upon hearing the news.
“Dr. Meng...”
While Shen Yufeng was deep in thought, Shen Yuhe stared at Meng Chao and asked straightforwardly, “You look very young. I’ve never seen you by the old man’s side before. I wonder why the old man trusts you so much?”
“I’m one of Chairman Shen’s trump cards.”
Meng Chao calmly said, “Logically speaking, I should be the type of person who never needs to see the light of day or expose my relationship with Chairman Shen.
“It’s like how Chairman Shen has his own spies in the other eight mega corporation. If everything goes smoothly, those people don’t need to expose their identities until they die.
“Unfortunately, the assassination attempt was indeed beyond Chairman Shen’s expectations. His most trusted personal doctor on the surface had been bribed long ago. In fact, he was a spy whom someone else planted from the very beginning. That terrified Chairman Shen more than the assassination attempt.
“He ‘activated’ me as a last resort and allowed me to show my face. On the surface, it’s to treat his injuries, but more importantly, it’s to investigate the truth of the shocking assassination attempt.
“It’s a pity that the enemy’s actions were faster and swifter than I expected. They snuck into the ward while I was out investigating and killed Chairman Shen.
“I’ve examined the surface of Chairman Shen’s body in detail, but I didn’t find any signs of struggle or spirit energy surging to the maximum. Based on my deduction, the murderer was most likely pretending to be me, which convinced Chairman Shen to not be on guard at all.
“If that’s the case, the murderer will have another reason to silence me. Right now, I don’t even dare to walk out of this ward.”
“Out investigating?”
Shen Yuhe caught the key words in Meng Chao’s statement. “Who are you investigating? What did you find out?”
Meng Chao appeared hesitant.
“Dr. Meng, since you found us, you must be certain that we’re the only ones who can save your life among the old man’s many children.”
Shen Yuhe said, “If that’s the case, we should trust each other and work together. There’s no reason to hide it anymore, right?”
“That’s right. I hope I didn’t misjudge him!”
Meng Chao hesitated for a long time before he finally made up his mind. “Chairman Shen asked me to investigate CEO Shen and his children!”
“What?”
Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng were both shocked.
“CEO Shen” was Shen Yuanbiao.
For a long time, Shen Yuanbao controlled Universe Corporation’s board of directors while Shen Yuanbiao remained in charge of Universe Corporation’s daily operations. The two brothers worked well together. They had a deep relationship and trusted each other.
Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng never expected their father to secretly investigate the issue of his younger brother’s heir at such a critical moment.
Wait a minute, children?
The two siblings looked at each other and smelled a conspiracy.
It was well known that Shen Yuanbiao had overexerted himself in his training and fought in his early years, resulting in hidden injuries and spirit energy deviation. He had damaged his vital organs and did not leave behind any children.
That was also one of the important reasons why Shen Yuanbao trusted him to take over.
All along, Shen Yuanbiao had played the role of a diligent, honest, and hardworking chief steward in Universe Corporation.
He had even treated Shen Yuanbao’s sons, nephews, and nieces as his own children.
Neither Shen Yuhe nor Shen Yufeng had sensed any hint of ambition from Shen Yuanbiao.
The two of them had also learned a lot from the “generous elder” and received a lot of help.
It was not until Meng Chao pointed it out that the two of them realized, to their horror, that Shen Yuanbiao unknowingly controlled a tremendous amount of power as the CEO of Universe Corporation!
