Fortunately, the other party did not want to provoke the members of the Shen family and the Lu family from Universe Corporation and Sky Pillar Corporation.
The aura that resembled that of a lion circled above their heads for a while before it gradually faded away.
Everyone sighed in relief. It was only then that they noticed that their backs were drenched in cold sweat, and their clothes were stuck to their bodies.
Even Lu Siya did not waste her breath with Meng Chao. She followed behind Shen Yupeng and the others and quickly left Golden Tooth Lair.
They passed through the market and returned to the wide road. The air was much fresher, and Meng Chao felt as if he had been in another world.
Shen Yupeng pushed Small Insect into a fully-enclosed van and told Meng Chao that he had to immediately search for a place to interrogate him and get crucial clues so that he could take action against the mastermind behind Heavenly Works Machines.
If everything went smoothly, he would contact Meng Chao before midnight. After all, Meng Chao had discovered the super Giant Sandworm and Small Insect, so he could be considered as one of the people involved. Based on the procedure, he would definitely need to provide some additional information.
At that time, he hoped that he would not disturb Meng Chao's rest.
Meng Chao agreed to it readily and asked Shen Yupeng to contact him no matter what time it was. He also wanted to receive the latest news in time.
After sending Shen Yupeng off, he turned his head around and saw that Lu Siya was still glaring at him angrily.
Meng Chao touched his nose.
Lu Siya had always given him the impression that she was domineering and that she had victory in her grasp.
Even when she was betrayed by Lin Chuan, she was more sad than angry.
He had never seen her so angry before.
Meng Chao thought about it and asked tentatively, "Looks like we can't be friends anymore."
"You do know your limits," Lu Siya said coldly.
"Got it. I'll disappear now."
Meng Chao turned his head around and took two steps forward. Suddenly, he remembered something and turned his head around. "Let me confirm something. If I really go for supper with Shen Yupeng later and hear some really explosive news, I won't need to tell you about the latest development of the case, right? After all, we lied to each other. No matter what I say, you won't believe me. "
"Wait."
Lu Siya narrowed her eyes. "Shen Yupeng has Small Insect in his hands. With his abilities, in less than twenty-four hours, he will definitely be able to capture the mastermind hiding in Heavenly Works Machines. Even if you hear any explosive news, it'll be useless after the fact. What's the point if you tell me?"
"You can't say that. Do you still remember my speculation when we first performed the autopsy?"
"I have a feeling that the case of the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise is actually two cases. The first case is that Jin Yongqiang from Heavenly Works Machines secretly got his hands on a mutated rabies virus and injected it into the pets in the residential areas so that they would intentionally go berserk and frame Spirit Creations Creatures. The case has basically been solved.
"The question is, how did Jin Yongqiang die? Why is his pet also infected with mutated rabies? Isn't this pet a tool he bought to get close to his neighbors? He had no reason to kill himself. If the mastermind behind Heavenly Works Machinery wanted to silence him, he would not choose this time and in this way.
"Coupled with the information I obtained from the scratches on Jin Yongqiang's cervical spine, all these clues point to another murderer, a murderer who might be a hundred times more dangerous than Jin Yongqiang.
"As expected, the mastermind of the first case is someone from Heavenly Works Machines. Since it's a superhuman who committed a crime, it should be handled by the Supernatural Tower and the adjudicator court. That's why I went to Shen Yupeng and told him everything.
"But my instincts tell me that the second case is related to a very cunning monster with high intelligence. It seems to be the work of the monster research department, so I'm more inclined to work together with you to uncover the mystery.
"It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. Perhaps the second case is the truly shocking case. It's the best stepping stone for you to climb to the higher ranks of the abnormal beast research department. Compared to Jin Yongqiang's murderer, Heavenly Works Machines is just a tiny fish."
This time, Meng Chao did not lie to Lu Siya.
If the memories from his previous life were correct and this matter was related to the Supernatural Entity, then the value of this "big fish" was indeed higher than that of all of Heavenly Works Machines.
Lu Siya was angry, but she snorted coldly and declined to comment.
"Alright, it seems like the trust between us has collapsed."
Meng Chao shrugged. "Then, I'll have to reluctantly work together with Shen Yupeng and investigate this matter to the end."
Before his voice faded away, he turned around and left.
His footsteps were as swift as the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he was already dozens of meters away.
Lu Siya caught up to him.
The greatest difference between her and the other rich daughters was that she had an indomitable spirit.
In just five seconds, she adjusted herself and walked in her sports shoes, which made her look like a pair of high heels.
"Can you promise that you'll tell me everything Shen Yupeng said?" She seemed to have forgotten what had happened just now.
"I can," Meng Chao said.
"But Shen Yupeng knows about our relationship, so he might not tell me all the highly confidential information."
"It's fine. Even if I don't have Shen Yupeng's information, I'll definitely turn the tables!"
Lu Siya bit her lip so hard that fine teeth marks appeared. She cast Meng Chao a deep glance. "Where do you intend to go next?"
Meng Chao thought about it. "If I go back to Agricultural University now, it'll be pretty awkward if Shen Yupeng calls me out later. I've been busy the entire day and haven't had a proper meal. I'm going to look for a place to fill my stomach before I look for an Ultimate Style Experience Center that operates twenty-four hours a day. I'll cultivate for a few hours and recover my spirit."
"Alright, then let's eat first before we cultivate." Lu Siya made her decision.
"Wait, are you thinking about coming with me?" Meng Chao asked.
"Are you thinking about shaking me off?" Lu Siya asked.
Meng Chao scratched his head. "That's not what I mean. I just think that you've suddenly become … so passionate. Are you worried that I'll shake you off and ride on Shen Yupeng's coattails?"
Lu Siya stared at him. "Will you?"
"You're thinking too much."
Meng Chao smiled faintly and extended his strong arms, which were covered in veins. He spread his arms.
Lu Siya asked hesitantly, "Are you saying that you have a wild personality and the dignity of the strong? You're prepared to use your own hands to conquer the world and won't ride on anyone else's coattails?"
"No. I mean, I have two hands," Meng Chao said seriously.
"So, I can have everything I need. You and Shen Yupeng, the Lu family and the Shen family, Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation, the research department and the adjudicator court. I can ride on both coattails."
…
Perhaps it was because his Earth Spike Technique had yet to reach the pinnacle.
Lu Siya had been holding back for a long time, but in the end, she did not summon a sharp spike to stab Meng Chao's crotch and kill him.
She could only bring Meng Chao to a members-only private home restaurant she often went to.
But when she saw Meng Chao wolfing down the food like a cow munching on peonies, she felt a little regretful. There was no need for her to bring Meng Chao to this sort of place and ruin a few of her favorite delicacies.
Meng Chao ate one round after another.
His mind was completely not on the complicated taste and the exquisite dishes on the plate.
Instead, he stared at his tablet.
The internet was filled with news about the gathering and parade held by the supporters of biochemical modification technology.
Many of the websites had pictures of Xie Xiaolei, the creator of Spirit Creation Creatures, swinging his arms and cheering in high spirits.
At the gathering, he gave a clear speech that contained detailed data, moved people's hearts, and incited them.
He gained countless netizens' support.
There were also a lot of netizens who turned into keyboard detectives and pointed out a lot of the suspicious points in the case. They made a very clear point that Spirit Creation Creatures might be the victim of the case and that their technology had caused quite a number of interested parties to feel threatened, which was why they were slandered in such a cruel and devastating manner. No, they were slandered with blood.
Even though Meng Chao could tell with just one glance that there were signs of someone manipulating the comments, what they said might be true.
But what they said might not be true.
Once the truth of the case came to light, he believed that Spirit Creation Creatures would definitely turn from bad to good. Regardless of whether it was their fame, scale, orders, or theories, they would all rise to another level.
'Strange.'
After swiping on the tablet for a long time, Meng Chao suddenly frowned, and a contemplative expression appeared on his face.
"What did your instincts tell you?" Lu Siya asked.
"It's nothing. I'm just thinking about who the mysterious informant who posted the case online last night was," Meng Chao said thoughtfully.
"The case was originally highly confidential, and both Spirit Creation Creatures and Heavenly Works Machines kept their mouths shut about it. It shouldn't have been disclosed in such detail.
"If the case hadn't been exposed, there wouldn't have been such an intense debate online, and the conflict between biochemical modification technology and runic symbol machines technology wouldn't have become so intense. Today's gathering and parade wouldn't have happened."
Lu Siya thought about it and said, "Could it be that the people from Heavenly Works Machines leaked it so that they could slander Spirit Creation Creatures and use public opinion to pressure them so that they could snatch the contract?"
"I originally thought so, especially the post that angered the Agricultural University students today. It's just too obvious," Meng Chao said.
"But now that I think about it carefully, if the people from Heavenly Works Machines really did expose it and found needle holes in the ear canals of two known biochemical pets, it wouldn't have been an accident, but intentional murder. The case would have been handed over to the Supernatural Tower and adjudicator court, so they should have been panicking all day. Is there any meaning in doing something to provoke their opponents?
"It's impossible for them not to know that at the same time the storm of public opinion pushes Spirit Creation Creatures to the heart of the storm, all the workers and supporters of biochemical modification technology will be bound by a grudge against a common enemy. In fact, they will bring out a lot of resources to support Spirit Creation Creatures so that they can investigate the truth.
"As criminals with ulterior motives, I don't think that Heavenly Works Machines has any motive to expose themselves. The more the matter blows up, the worse it will be for them.
"On the other hand, Spirit Creation Creatures might seem to be the victim who is being criticized and cursed, but once the truth of the case comes to light, they will immediately launch a counterattack, and their momentum will be even greater than before. If the case hadn't been exposed last night, there wouldn't have been such a dramatic turn of events!"
