Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 301: Able to Achieve Success One Way or Another

Chapter 301: Able to Achieve Success One Way or Another

Fortunately, Mr. Jin did not want to offend the Shen family, Lu family disciples, as well as children who worked in Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation.

After he sized them up once, like a lion out on a hunt, he shifted his gaze away.

Everyone sighed in relief. It was only then that they realized that their backs were covered in cold sweat, and their shirts stuck to their bodies.

Even Lu Siya did not say anything to Meng Chao. She followed Shen Yupeng and his group out of Golden Tooth Lair.

Once they got through the market and returned to the wide road, the air suddenly felt much fresher, and Meng Chao felt as if he had stepped into another world.

Shen Yupeng shoved Small Insect into an airtight van. Then, he told Meng Chao that he would immediately look for a place to interrogate him so that he could get the crucial clues and be able to carry out an operation against the instigator from Heavenly Works Machines.

If everything went smoothly, he would contact Meng Chao before midnight. After all, Meng Chao was the one who discovered the super Giant Sandworm and Small Insect. He could be considered as one of the people involved in the case. Based on procedures, they had to provide information to fill him in on the situation.

Shen Yupeng hoped that there would be no need to bother the youth with anything more.

Meng Chao agreed to it readily. He asked Shen Yupeng to contact him at any time he wanted and agreed that he wanted to get the newest information as soon as possible.

After he sent Shen Yupeng away, he turned his head around and noticed that Lu Siya was still glaring at him.

Meng Chao rubbed his nose.

Lu Siya had always given him the feeling that she was incredibly domineering and always had victory in her grasp.

Even when she was betrayed by Lin Chuan, she was more sad than angry.

He had never seen her this angry before.

Meng Chao thought about it and asked tentatively, “Looks like we can’t be friends anymore, huh?”

“At least you know your place,” Lu Siya said coldly.

“Got it. I’ll disappear now.” Meng Chao turned around and took two steps forward before he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and asked, “Just to be sure, if I really have supper later with Shen Yupeng and hear something really shocking or a new development in the case, I don’t need to tell you about it, right? After all, we lied to each other, so no matter what else I say, you won’t believe me, right?”

“Wait.” Lu Siya narrowed her eyes. “Now that Shen Yupeng has Small Insect in his hands, with his abilities, he will definitely be able to find the instigator hiding in Heavenly Works Machines in less than twenty-four hours. Even if you manage to hear any shocking news, it’ll be too late. What’s the point even if you tell me?”

“Don’t say that. Do you remember my theory when we first examined the corpses?” Meng Chao asked calmly. “I have a feeling that the case of murderous pets in Blessed Paradise is actually two cases. The first case is Jin Yongqiang from Heavenly Works Machines secretly getting his hands on mutated rabies and discreetly injecting it into the pets in his residential area so that they would go berserk and defame Spirit Creations Creatures. This case has basically been solved.

“The problem is, how did Jin Yongqiang end up dead, and why did his pet also have mutated rabies? Wasn’t that pet a tool he bought to get closer to his neighbors? There was no reason for him to harm himself. If the mastermind in Heavenly Works Machines wanted to silence him, there was no need to choose this moment and this method to kill him, either.

“Besides, based on the information I obtained from the lacerations I saw on Jin Yongqiang’s spine, the clues all point to another culprit, which is probably even more dangerous than Jin Yongqiang.

“The one who planned the first case is definitely someone from Heavenly Works Machines. Since he’s a superhuman criminal, it’s only logical that we should hand this case to the Supernatural Tower and adjudicator court. That’s why I went to Shen Yupeng and told him everything.

“But my instincts are telling me that the second case is related to a really cunning and smart monster. It’s the work of the abnormal beast research department, and I’m more inclined to work on this together with you.

“You can choose whether to believe me or not. Perhaps the second case is the real shocker, and it might be the best stepping stone for you to climb up the ranks of the abnormal beast research department. Compared to finding the person who killed Jin Yongqiang, Heavenly Works Machines is a really small fish.”

Meng Chao did not lie to Lu Siya this time.

If the memories from his previous life were correct, the case was related to a Supernatural Ent.i.ty, and the value of this fish was definitely much higher than of the Heavenly Works Machines case

Lu Siya was still angry. She snorted coldly but did not say anything.

“Alright. Looks like the trust between us is completely gone.” Meng Chao shrugged. “Then, I will just have to force myself to work with Shen Yupeng to find the truth.”

Before his voice could fade away, he turned around to leave.

He left resolutely. His footsteps were like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he was already dozens of meters away.

Lu Siya caught up to him.

The biggest difference between her and normal rich ladies was that she had a determined heart.

In just five seconds, she had managed to compose herself. Once again, she started walking in her sneakers as if she was walking on high heels.

“You promise that you will tell me everything that Shen Yupeng said?” She seemed to have forgotten all that had happened just now.

“Yup,” Meng Chao said. “But Shen Yupeng knows about our relationship. He might not tell me super cla.s.sified insider information.”

“It’s fine. Even if we don’t have information from Shen Yupeng, I will definitely turn the tables around!” Lu Siya bit down on her lip so hard that she left behind a row of teeth marks. She cast a deep glance at Meng Chao. “Where are you going to next?”

Meng Chao thought about it. “I’m going back to Agricultural University. If Shen Yupeng calls for me later, the time will be rather awkward for me. I’ve been busy for an entire day, and I haven’t eaten a proper meal. I’m thinking about looking for some restaurant and filling up my belly for now. Then, I’ll go to a 24-hour Ultimate Style Experience Center and cultivate for a few hours to reenergize myself.”

“Alright. Then we’ll eat first before we go and train.” Lu Siya decided on the plan.

“Wait. Are you thinking about going with me?” Meng Chao asked.

“Are you thinking about casting me aside now?” Lu Siya asked.

Meng Chao scratched his head. “That’s not what I meant. I just thought that you... suddenly became really pa.s.sionate. Are you afraid that I’ll cast you aside and go to ride Shen Yupeng’s coattails?”

Lu Siya stared at him. “Will you?”

“You’re overthinking things.” Meng Chao smiled faintly. He pointed at his strong and powerful legs.

Lu Siya hesitated. “Are you saying that you have a wild and untameable personality and the dignity of someone powerful, so you intend to use your own legs to walk your own path and will absolutely not ride on anyone’s coattails?”

“No. What I mean is that I have two legs,” Meng Chao said seriously. “So, I will achieve success one way or another. I’m going to ride on your coattails with one leg, and I’m going to ride on Shen Yupeng’s coattails with the other leg. I’ll ride on both the Lu family and the Shen family, Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation, and the research department and adjudicator court’s coattails at the same time.”

Perhaps it was because she had not fully mastered her Spike Art, but after Lu Siya endured her anger for a long time, she was not able to summon a sharp spike to pierce Meng Chao’s crotch and kill him.

Instead, she brought Meng Chao to a members-only private restaurant she often frequented.

When she saw Meng Chao wolfing down food and eating like a lout who could not appreciate good food, she found herself regretting it a little. There was simply no need for her to bring Meng Chao to this sort of place so he would trample all over the delicacies she loved.

Meng Chao ate a lot.

His thoughts were not on the food that had all sorts of complicated tastes and was displayed as if it were the work of G.o.d.

Instead, his eyes were fixed on his tablet.

The news was about the gathering and rally of the supporters of biochemical modification technology.

Many of the homepages had photos of Xie Xiaolei, the creator of Spirit Creations Creatures. He appeared high-spirited and was waving his arm to call out to the people.

He had given a speech that was logical, supported by clear data, touching, and sensational.

This gained him countless netizens’ support.

Many of the netizens turned into keyboard warriors and pointed out the various suspicious points in the case. They stated clearly in their posts that Spirit Creation Creatures might be a victim. Their technology threatened quite a number of people’s interests, which was why one of them decided to use a brutal and violent way to sling mud on them... No, it would be more accurate to say that they decided to sling blood on them.

Even though Meng Chao could tell at first glance that there was someone controlling the comments, what they said was the truth.

Once the truth was revealed, he believed that Spirit Creation Creatures would definitely be able to enjoy riches. Their fame, the scale of their business, business deals, and the theories they proposed would all rise by a whole level.

“Strange.” Meng Chao swiped his finger across the tablet for a long time before he suddenly frowned in contemplation.

“What are your instincts telling you?”

“It’s nothing. I was just thinking, who could have possibly leaked the information about the case online?” Meng Chao thought about it some more. “The case is highly cla.s.sified, so Spirit Creation Creatures and Heavenly Works Machines would not have spoken about it. There shouldn’t have been that many details leaked outside.

“If the case wasn’t revealed, such a violent debate wouldn’t have stirred up online. The conflict between biochemical modification technology and runic symbol machines technology would not have become so intense. There wouldn’t have been a gathering and rally today either.”

Lu Siya thought about it as well. “Could it be that someone from Heavenly Works Machines leaked it so that they could defame Spirit Creation Creatures and use the pressure of public opinion to get the deal for the construction of Subway No.20?”

“That’s what I originally thought, especially when I saw the post that angered the Agricultural University students. The bias was a little too clear,” Meng Chao said. “But once I thought about it again, I couldn’t help but wonder if the people from Heavenly Works Machines would really expose this when they already knew that a needle-shaped hole had been discovered in two of the biochemical pets’ ear ca.n.a.ls.

“They knew that it wasn’t an accident but murder. They also knew that this case had been handed to the Supernatural Tower and the adjudicator court. They should have been really fearful and alarmed. It’s meaningless even if they do something like this to provoke their opponents further. Then, are they struggling in their deathbed?

“It’s impossible for them to not know that while they use public opinion to push Spirit Creation Creatures to the center of the storm, all the people who work in the biochemical modification field and those who support them would stand up together to face a common enemy. They would take out a lot of resources to support Spirit Creation Creatures so that they can figure out the truth.

“As criminals with an ulterior motive, Heavenly Works Machines shouldn’t have the motive to expose the case. The bigger the ruckus this causes, the less benefits they will get from it.

“Today, Spirit Creation Creatures might seem to be criticized and cursed all over the place. They might appear as victims, but once the truth of the case comes out, they will definitely be able to launch a counterattack, and their momentum will become even greater than before. If the case wasn’t leaked yesterday, the tides wouldn’t have turned to favor them this way, and they wouldn’t be able to produce such a dramatic effect!”
