Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

"Second Brother?"

Shen Yufeng's expression did not change, but her heart was in turmoil.

If only blood descendants were counted, Shen Yuhe was the eldest of all the old man's flesh and blood. Logically speaking, he should have quite a bit of power.

However, he suffered because his birth mother was an ordinary person without any power. Due to his congenital deficiency and excessive cultivation, he had become mentally deranged with hidden injuries. It was difficult for him to become the super first-class fighter that the Shen family needed.

In addition, the recent underground black market scandal had damaged Universe Corporation's image. There was an urgent need for someone to take the blame.

As the person in charge of the group's pharmaceutical business, Shen Yuhe was naturally the best candidate to take the blame.

Shen Yufeng thought that since the last family meeting, Shen Yuhe, who had also been reprimanded, had long withdrawn from the competition to inherit the position of family head.

She did not expect that he would once again receive the old man's secret summons like her.

What exactly did this mean?

Seeing Shen Yufeng, who was in charge of the personnel work of Universe Corporation, enter, Shen Yuhe was obviously a little surprised.

However, his eyes were deeply sunken and somewhat red. His face was extremely gloomy, and he quickly recovered from his surprise. His gaze was like a dim candle flame, and it was uncertain what he was planning.

Shen Yufeng looked around and found that aside from Shen Yuhe, the only other people in the room were the unknown Dr. Meng, who was trusted by the old man, and a huge medical pod that resembled a coffin.

At this time, the medical pod's hatch was tightly closed.

The observation hole on the hatch showed that there was not a normal dark green medical agent inside. Instead, it was a stabilizing agent that was glowing with a small silver light and emitting a chill.

Shen Yufeng was a startled. She could smell an ominous aura from Dr. Meng's grave expression and her second brother's flickering eyes.

Her heart was beating increasingly fast. She swallowed hard and took two steps forward to the medical cabin's side. She then looked inside through the observation hole.

As expected, the dark green medical agent had been replaced by a mithril liquid that was similar to a hibernation agent.

The old man's eyes were tightly shut as he was soaked in the mithril liquid. His face was covered with faint lividity, and he was no longer breathing.

The scene was like an invisible giant hammer, striking Shen Yufeng's head hard, causing her soul to leave her body. There was buzzing in her head, and she could not think for more than half a minute.

When her soul returned to her body, she gained the power to control her limbs and fingers. The first thing Shen Yufeng did was to pounce on the display on the left side of the medical cabin and retrieve the old man's various physiological parameters.

It was no accident.

All of the old man's physiological parameters had turned into ice-cold straight lines.

This man had made great contributions to Dragon City, saved countless lives, killed numerous fierce beasts, and he had been extremely tyrannical at the same time. He dared to attack anyone for his benefit, yet in the end, he was dead.

"Dad..."

Shen Yufeng subconsciously called out through the cold hatch cover of the medical cabin.

She recalled a time when Dragon City was still in the bloody chaos of lawlessness. Back when the Shen family had not developed into one of the nine great noble cultivation families, her father had once led her brothers and sisters through flashes of blades and swords in the swaying wind and rain.

A few drops of hot liquid gushed out of the corner of Shen Yufeng's eyes, but her mourning for her father could only end here.

It was not that she was unfilial.

The situation just did not allow it.

Shen Yufeng took a deep breath and put away those fragile emotions that only ordinary people were qualified to have. She restored her shrewdness and strength as the eldest sister of the Shen family and the head of Universe Corporation's Personnel Department.

Ever since he faced the assassination attempt, Shen Yuanbao's situation had been terrible. Everyone, including Shen Yufeng, had expected his death for a while.

The question now was, in the post-Shen Yuanbao era, who was qualified and capable to carry the Shen family and Universe Corporation?

"Who did the old man choose to inherit his career?"

Standing outside the door earlier, Shen Yufeng had fantasized for a moment that she could become the successor whom her father valued the most.

However, now that her father's cold corpse was lying in front of her, she felt nervous and even confused.

She kept feeling that things were not that simple.

If she was not the successor, could it be Shen Yuhe?

Impossible.

Genetic medicine was not Universe Corporation's main business to begin with.

Furthermore, their maternal side was unable to provide too much help. Shen Yuhe was even less qualified and capable than her to seize Universe Corporation's power!

"Dr. Meng..."

She could feel the gaze of the private doctor with a mysterious background scraping her body like a sharp scalpel. Shen Yufeng collected herself, realizing that she could not lose her composure.

No matter how impatient she was about taking control of Universe Corporation, she could not reveal the slightest bit of ambition at this moment.

"Father, didn't your injuries stabilize a few days ago? How could this happen?"

Shen Yufeng's voice trembled, and her heart was on the verge of breaking.

It was a question that had been formulated from the start.

After all, when the old man was found at the scene of the assassination attempt, his bloody appearance made people feel as if he had crawled out of the stomach of a Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon. Even if he had died on the spot, it would not have been a surprise.

It was already a medical miracle that he managed to last so long under the stimulation of the high-level gene reagent.

Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence, "Dr. Meng said, "There is indeed something fishy about Chairman Shen's death."

"What?"

Shen Yufeng was stunned.

Dozens of sparks also appeared in Shen Yuhe's eyes.

"In fact, Chairman Shen's injuries are not as serious as they seem."

Meng Chao stared at the two heirs and said, "When he was almost assassinated the other day, Chairman Shen's intense battle was not as dangerous as you think. In fact, I inflicted many of his 'injuries' before you guys arrived."

"This..."

Shen Yufeng and Shen Yuhe exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"I believe that the two of you have already guessed the reason for it."

Meng Chao continued. "Since Chairman Shen's travel time and route are highly confidential, coupled with the betrayal of the medical staff closest to him, he immediately sensed that there was a mole behind the assassination attempt.

"Chairman Shen deliberately exaggerated his injuries in order to draw the snake out of its hole, exposing the mole.

"According to my assessment two days ago, his real injuries only affected his internal organs, not his brain or central nerves. A Deity Realm expert like him can channel spirit energy into his internal organs and train his organs to the level of 'crystallization.' With such injuries, he wouldn't have been able to display 100% of his combat ability at most. It wouldn't have been a problem for him to live for another ten to twenty years if he maintained a clear mind like a normal person!"
