Chapter 1622: Discovering a Clear Sky

“That’s right. If we lose all decorum, it won’t be good for the Shen family or Universe Corporation.”

Shen Yuanbao said, “Then, will it be good for the Azure Alliance to fight us?”

Shen Yuanbiao was slightly startled. He contemplated for a while and slowly shook his head. “If the Azure Alliance lose all decorum with us, they won’t be able to gain anything.

“To put it bluntly, the Azure Alliance consists of a bunch of scoundrels. They know that we won’t dare to make a move in public, so they’re putting on the appearance of wanting to uphold justice to win the people’s hearts.

“If they really force us into a dead end and everyone starts a real fight, we will definitely beat the Azure Alliance to a pulp!”

“Yeah, the Azure Alliance may look aggressive, but they’re actually just a motley crew. If they start a fight, no one will be able to gain anything. Lu Siya is a smart person, so she won’t this issue.”

Shen Yuanbao said, “Then tell me, who can take advantage of them?”

“This…”

Shen Yuanbiao was taken aback for a long time. Suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes. “The other eight mega corporations!”

“That’s right!”

Shen Yuanbao sneered. “Currently, the nine mega corporations are all having a headache over the newly established Azure Alliance. They want to suppress it, but no one is willing to take the initiative and make the first move.

“After all, the Azure Alliance has the public’s support. On the surface, they are just making a grand proposal, so there’s no reason to disagree.

“If any mega corporation dares to clash with the Azure Alliance, they will lose the public’s heart even if they win. Their brand image will plummet, and they might even fall apart and close their doors due to public criticism.

“Coincidentally, the assassination attempt on me has put Universe Corporation in a huge crisis. It has also made many people feel that the Shen family has become a weak puppet that they can manipulate.

“That’s why these guys deliberately exposed my dirt and lured the Azure Alliance to launch a fierce attack on Universe Corporation.

“In their opinion, to protect itself, Universe Corporation would never compromise and allow the Azure Alliance to set up a ‘special investigation team’ to touch the Red Creek Project or even enter its headquarters.

“As such, it would be easy for Universe Corporation and the Azure Alliance to cross the line and have a life-and-death battle.

“Regardless of the battle’s outcome, whoever wins or loses, in reality, both sides would suffer heavy losses.

“As for the other eight mega corporations that have been hiding behind the scenes to watch the show, they can wait until we fight each other and they profit. Then, they can pretend to stand up for justice and clean up the mess. They can even tear Universe Corporation into pieces and temporarily feed the Azure Alliance’s poor superhumans with our blood. From there, they can continue to develop and grow without danger!”

Shen Yuanbiao was a little dumbfounded, and anger gradually appeared on his face.

“Those b*stards!”

He growled. “They actually want Universe Corporation to charge forward and fight the Azure Alliance to the end for them?”

“No, Big Brother, we can’t fall into their trap!”

“But, the Azure Alliance’s aggressive stance is too much!”

“Big Brother, if the Azure Alliance insists on establishing a special investigation team, what should we do? We can’t open the door and let them investigate as they please, right?”

“Of course not!”

Shen Yuanbao coughed lightly and spoke seriously. “Dragon City is not facing a temporary, partial, or individual problem right now but a general problem caused by the eruption of conflicts that have been ignored and covered up over the past few decades.

“Meanwhile, the special investigation team led by the Azure Alliance will only investigate the problems related to the Red Creek Project. How will that be enough?

“If we want to investigate as well, we have to get to the bottom of it. We have to cut open the nine mega corporations, dig out their hearts, livers, lungs, and kidneys, and do a good job. We have to look into everything thoroughly and find a clear sky!

“Ah Biao, come up with a plan with your subordinates. Hold a press conference and spread this message—Universe Corporation has always been responsible for defending the Dragon City civilization. Everyone in the company treats themselves as the battle sabers of the human civilization, and we’re ready to contribute everything to the entire civilization at any time.

“Of course, there will always be dead branches in every tree. Universe Corporation’s development today involves all aspects. There are at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in the upstream and downstream industrial chains. They depend on us for a living. Are there a few unfilial children and outlaws mixed in? That’s something that no one can say for sure.

“Therefore, we welcome reasonable supervision and even investigation from the citizens.

“The entire Universe Corporation is very shocked by the serious accident that recently happened in Red Creek Valley. We also attach great importance to it and are determined to investigate it to the end. No matter how high the rank of the black sheep is, we will find him at all costs and bring him to justice.

“However, we don’t know the truth because we are on this mountain. There are many problems that Universe Corporation alone might not be able to solve 100%.

“Hence, we welcome the Azure Alliance’s proposal 100%.

“No, not 100%, 120%.

“Because we think that the Azure Alliance’s special investigation team should not only investigate the problem regarding the Red Creek Project but also investigate the crystal mines of several other mega corporations outside Monster Mountain Range and near Red Creek Valley. They should be thorough, as they will surely be enlightened!

“Isn’t there a saying that when you find a monster among the ruins, there must be at least ten monsters lurking nearby?

“Who can guarantee that other crystal mines around won’t face the same problem as the Red Creek Project?

“Who can guarantee that only the crystal mine under Universe Corporation’s a** has far fewer reserves than expected?

“Who can guarantee that we are the only ones whose management isn’t strict enough and staff is enriching himself while the managers of other companies are as clean and transparent as water?

“The Red Creek Project has already met with an accident. No matter how we investigate it, we will only be able to fix the problem if the sheep dies. Isn’t it more important to take precautions against the crystal mines that have not yet met with an accident?

“Also, regarding the underground black market, we have to investigate it to the best of our ability. Don’t just focus on Universal Corporation. After all, the core of Universe Corporation is the mining and refining of crystals. Genetic medicine is not our main business. The real tycoons who can call the shots in the underground black market are not surnamed Shen, are they?!

“Also, did a Shen do all the things that happened decades ago? Was the first bucket of gold that I dug out stained with blood? Have all the leaders of the other eight mega corporations been pure white lotus flowers and righteous heroes? Have they really not made any mistakes on their miraculous paths?”
