Shen Yuanbiao’s guess was correct.
Shen Yuhe, Shen Yufeng, Shen Chenglie, and the others had indeed prepared an inescapable net. They were waiting for him to step into the trap.
The heirs of Universe Corporation were either hiding in carefully disguised vehicles, hanging far behind Shen Yuanbiao, or they had already moved to the warehouse’s vicinity in the south of the city, ready to take action at any moment.
To be honest, they did not want to eliminate Shen Yuanbiao physically.
No matter what, Shen Yuanbiao was a family elder and one of Universe Corporation’s founders. Currently, he was in charge of the corporation’s daily operations as the “CEO.”
!!
Whether it was physically eliminating him or exposing his shocking scandal, causing him to lose his reputation and suffer a fate worse than death would deal a devastating blow to the reputation and business value of the Shen family as well as Universe Corporation. Both sides would suffer heavy losses.
However, Shen Yuhe, Shen Yufeng, and Shen Chenglie were all certain that Shen Yuanbiao had already suffered a great loss in the recent series of open and secret battles. His mind was muddled, and he could only make a desperate gamble.
His last bargaining chip and other unspeakable secrets had to be hidden in the warehouse south of the city.
As long as they exposed evidence of Shen Yuanbiao’s crimes and seized the evidence against him, they would be able to turn this uncle of theirs into a fish on the chopping board. He would be at their mercy.
Plus, Universe Corporation’s power would be transferred to them calmly and quietly.
Of course, whether it was the blood descendants like Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng, or the adopted children like Shen Chenglie, everyone had seriously considered the question of whether the old man was dead or not more than once.
Although Meng Chao had secretly summoned Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng to the old man’s secret medical room last time and shown them the old man’s “body” sealed in the genetic medicine, the old man was still alive.
Deity Realm experts could temporarily change or even freeze their physiological reactions, stop their breathing and heartbeat, fake signs of death, and even skillfully control their cells to show patches of lividity on their skin if they wanted. It was not difficult to fool the sophisticated medical equipment.
At that time, Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng were deeply moved by Meng Chao’s words. For a moment, their minds wavered, and they did not suspect him.
After they left, they thought about it repeatedly, and the more they thought about it, the more suspicious they found the matter.
However, upon deeper consideration, they realized that the old man’s life and death did not affect what they had to do.
If the old man was truly dead, as children, they were duty-bound to avenge the old man. They also had to take back the highest authority that originally belonged to them from the hands of Shen Yuanbiao, their uncle.
If the old man was not dead, this would just be a special test arranged by the old man for his successors. In that case, they had to use all their skills to let the old man clearly see that they were the most qualified to inherit his mantle, the entire Shen family, and Universe Corporation!
A few hundred meters away from Shen Yuanbiao, in two vans with different company logos and different models, Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng simultaneously raised their wrists and looked at the time.
It was 6.14 am.
At his current speed, Shen Yuanbiao would arrive at the warehouse in the southern part of the city, which he had transformed into a secret stronghold, in about fifteen minutes.
When that time came, everything would be settled.
The brother and sister, Shen Yuhe and Shen Yufeng, both had flames of excitement and nervousness in their eyes.
These flames then transformed into bright and beautiful scenes before their eyes.
It showed their family business continue to develop and grow because of them after they took control of Universe Corporation, leading the nine mega corporations. It was also a beautiful scene of themselves advancing rapidly, growing in strength, and surpa.s.sing their limits.
Immersed in their beautiful dreams, they did not realize that in the tall buildings hundreds of meters away from the road, behind at least a dozen windows, there were military binoculars and even anti-material sniper rifle scopes locked onto them.
These heavy anti-material sniper rifles were as big as rocket launchers. They were filled with sniper bullets that were thicker than a baby’s arm and purely polished from high-purity crystals.
Many of the crystal bullets also showed a magnificent color of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, overlapping and changing.
It was obvious that they were crystals of different properties. They were nested together after being meticulously carved.
Once they whistled out of the barrel of the gun, they could stir up the plant’s magnetic field, increasing their power.
The moment they came into contact with their target, they could also trigger magma that was thousands of degrees hot, frost that was close to absolute zero, and high-voltage electric arcs that were comparable to lightning. They were completely opposite forces, but they had the same terrifying destructive power.
Forget the bulletproof car and van that Shen Yuanbiao, Shen Yuhe, and Shen Yufeng were in, even a battle tank equipped with reactive armor could not withstand the fatal blow of this special bullet!
The gunmen who were sitting behind the heavy anti-materiel sniper rifle like metal statues had fierce and cold expressions. Their eyes were like bottomless wells, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion. Occasionally, there would be a flash of brilliance within them, indicating the collision of ma.s.sive information and formulas.
Upon closer look, there were many winding scars on the backs of their heads and spines. There were even many metal implants protruding directly from the sides of their spines, like two rows of neat rivets.
When wireless signals were channeled into these “rivets,” biological electricity would flow back and forth between their spinal cord and brain fluid, making their nerves highly excited but also their mind highly focused. Their pupils were constricted into the tips of needles as faint patterns appeared on the most secretive parts of their bodies one after another.
They were two crossed vertical eyes that overlapped to form an “X” shape.
They were crossed eyes, the symbol of the Blood Alliance.
It was not exactly time yet.
These Blood Alliance members were only “reserves.” They were lying in ambush there and were mainly responsible for monitoring the two fleets of the Shen family. They were not to deviate from the predetermined route.
Naturally, there were even sharper and more secretive a.s.sa.s.sins from the Blood Alliance lying in ambush near the warehouse. They were in charge of sending sniper bullets as thick as an infant’s arm into Shen Yuanbiao’s brain.
However, the members of the Blood Alliance, who claimed to be monitors, did not expect to be closely monitored from the air by a fourth force.
Above their heads, about three to five hundred meters in the air, the air route made up of armored airships was as orderly and lively as usual.
The crystal engines were operating at their maximum capacity, leaking out strands of spirit energy, forming a colorful mist around the armored airships.
Looking from the ground, the air routes in different directions were like intersecting rainbows.
However, there were clearly signs that did not match Universe Corporation on the airbags of several of the armored airships. The pods that were supposed to be filled with cargo were filled with murderous intent instead.
