“Are you saying that as long as the price is right, we can manipulate the spies that the old man set in place?” Shen Yuhe could not help but ask.

Meng Chao spread his hands. “Do we have any other choice?”

Shen Yufeng stared at him, trying to read the truth of his words and the true value of this spy from the quivering eyebrows on his face. “In that case, what would be the ‘right price?’” she asked.

“We’re not greedy.”

Meng Chao laughed. “We only want the genetic medicine company under Universe Corporation and its related businesses. That’s enough!”

It was indeed not a high price.

After all, Universe Corporation’s main assets were all invested in the hundreds of crystal ore veins.

If Universe Corporation was a giant, then the genetic medicine business could only be considered one of its arms.

At present, the genetic medicine business was firmly in Shen Yuhe’s hands. He was clear on how much value the business still had after the scandal and the inevitable restructuring. Compared with the entire Shen family and Universe Corporation, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Even so, he still narrowed his eyes and sneered, “Your appetite really isn’t small.”

Meng Chao appeared collected. “We’re all smart people. Time is limited. I don’t want to play the game of asking for a sky-high price and having low returns. You and I both understand that this is a fair price. Moreover, you guys can definitely pay it. Hence, this is my bottom line—our bottom line.

“We want Universe Corporation’s gene medicine company, 51% of the shares. If we get a little less, or even one gene reagent is missing, the deal is off!”

Shen Yuhe frowned slightly and muttered, “But how do I know that your so-called spies are worth investing? After all, except you, I haven’t seen any other spy who’s both powerful and valuable.

“From beginning to end, it’s just been you bragging.”

“The reason why a spy is a spy is naturally because he can display his greatest value in the dark. I have a list in my hands, as well as the methods to contact and drive them. I guarantee that every name on the list will play a crucial role in seizing control of Universe Corporation.”

Meng Chao calmly said, “However, you’re right. Before I see the real money, I don’t intend to reveal the complete list to you. You can only choose to believe it or not.

“If you think that I’m just a liar who’s taking advantage of Chairman Shen’s death to get benefits, you can slam the door and leave if you don’t believe every word I’ve said. You can even arrest me and send me to Shen Yuanbiao.

“If that’s the case, I can only hand this list over to the new chairman—the future ‘Chairman Shen!’”

Shen Yuhe was still debating on whether his words were true or not. Shen Yufeng could no longer hold it in.

In the end, Shen Yuhe was in charge of the genetic medicine company and was a vassal of a region. His independence was relatively strong. After so many years of moving around and strategizing, he had also accumulated considerable strength. Even if he could not fight for control over Universe Corporation, it was still possible for him to establish his own family.

However, Shen Yufeng, the director of Universe Corporation’s personnel, was completely dependent on the chairman. If she was kicked out of the door, would she receive an invitation from the other eight mega corporations as a member of the Shen Family? Could she become their director of personnel and help them manage their descendants?

“If we agree to your conditions, then what?”

Shen Yufeng could not wait to ask, “Do you want us to directly tell Fifth Uncle everything?”

“If all of this has been meticulously planned by Fifth Uncle, then his temperament and strategy are terrifying to the extreme. I believe that he has already made careful arrangements in the dark and even dug a trap for us to jump into.

“Even if Second Brother and I join forces, together with the spies left behind by the old man, we might not necessarily be Fifth Uncle’s match if we directly reveal our cards!”

“That’s right.”

Meng Chao smiled. “Chairman Shen’s spies are the last trump card. Obviously, it’s not suitable for us to use it in the first round.

“I think we should first leak the news of Chairman Shen’s death to Shen Chenglie.”

“What?!”

Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng raised their eyebrows at the same time as if they were holding up four sharp black blades.

In name, Shen Chenglie was Shen Yuanbao’s eldest son, the one everyone called “big brother.”

Moreover, he was in charge of the most core and most secretive part of Universe Corporation’s business. He had many elite soldiers under him, and he had spread his wings long ago.

However, he was not related to Shen Yuanbao by blood. Rather than saying that they were father and son, it was more appropriate to say that they were “major shareholder” and “minor shareholder” respectively.

Back then, in the era of bloodshed and lawlessness, Shen Chenglie and the other adopted children had invested capital into the stock market. As a result, the Shen family were in such a state today.

Although these minor shareholders had sworn loyalty to Shen Yuanbao by becoming adopted children, the value of such loyalty was extremely limited. With Universe Corporation’s rapid development, these minority shareholders also continued to recruit and buy horses, sharpening their claws and teeth. Gradually, it turned into a situation where they became too big to be removed, and the vassal states were divided.

It was not necessarily that Shen Yuanbao did not want to eliminate the vassal states.

Firstly, the Monster War was in full swing. Secondly, the other eight mega corporations were eyeing them like a tiger eyeing its prey. Thirdly, Shen Chenglie and his godchildren had indeed made outstanding contributions to the war that have lasted to this day.

Just as Shen Yuanbao had said, Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng were both pampered children.

Scheming within the enterprises, strategizing in the business world, and stirring up trouble in front of the old man were their strengths.

However, they definitely could not be like Shen Chenglie, who had charged fearlessly toward the Apocalyptic Beast’s mouth.

Therefore, when Meng Chao mentioned his name, the two of them immediately felt their blood run cold.

“No, we can’t tell Big Brother about the old master’s death!” Shen Yufeng subconsciously screamed.

Her face turned slightly red soon after. She felt that her desire for power was too obvious.

Unfortunately, once she said that, she could not take it back. She might as well go all out. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Universe Corporation is the old master’s life’s work. Of course, it should be handed over to the real members of the Shen family. Even Fifth Uncle isn’t qualified. Shen Chenglie’s so-called ‘adopted children’ are certainly not qualified to take all of this away from me or us!”

“Indeed, they are not qualified, but they are capable.”

Meng Chao said, “The adopted children have been running Universe Corporation for many years. They have held many key positions and profitable businesses. The elite soldiers under their command are all ruthless people who have fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

“Although Chairman Shen has been cultivating his own flesh and blood in the past few years, many of his blood descendants have just come of age and have not fully grown their wings yet. It will be difficult for the two of you to compete with the adopted children alone!”
