Chapter 1177: Wang Kun Smoothly Takes Over

“Once the second-generation Genetic Serum is developed I’ll send you one right away.”

Xu Shaochen said to Barron.

Barron shook his head “One might not be enough.”

“I’ll provide as many as needed” Xu Shaochen spoke grandly, showing the generosity of a manufacturer.

Barron smiled with satisfaction “Now you can tell me what you want to know from me.”

“Do you know Tianqing?” Xu Shaochen asked.

Barron’s face changed “Xu, how do you know about Tianqing?”

“They contacted me first” Xu Shaochen said, spreading his hands helplessly, then explained the situation briefly.

Barron remained silent for a long time before sighing “It’s truly a relentless organization.”

“I want to know what the relationship between Tianqing and my grandfather is” Xu Shaochen looked at Barron.

After a moment of hesitation, Barron said “They are enemies. Your grandfather’s death might be their doing.”

“What? Do you have evidence?” Xu Shaochen’s face darkened.

Barron shook his head “No, it’s merely my suspicion because your grandfather’s death was too strange, and only Tianqing had the means.”

“What’s the matter between Tianqing and my grandfather?” Xu Shaochen asked again.

Barron sighed “Sorry, Xu, I don’t know much. I only know he became enemies with Tianqing over a stone.”

“When I met your grandfather, he already had the stone. I knew nothing before that.”

Xu Shaochen felt disappointed after listening, thinking he could learn about past events from Barron.

But now it seems he had overestimated things.

Though not without gain, at least he knew his grandfather’s death was suspicious.

He never met his grandfather, but the inheritance left to him was substantial.

He felt responsible to find out the true cause of his grandfather’s death.

If Tianqing was behind it, Xu Shaochen vowed to make them pay.

“Xu, I’m sorry I couldn’t help you more” Barron said apologetically.

Xu Shaochen shook his head “Mr. Barron, don’t say that. You’ve helped me plenty. You made me aware that my grandfather’s death is questionable.”

“Perhaps I shouldn’t have told you. Tianqing are no pushovers, or else your grandfather wouldn’t have died. I might have harmed you” Barron said with a bitter smile.

He could imagine Xu Shaochen investigating his grandfather’s death, potentially involving Tianqing in his revenge.

If anything went wrong during this process, it’d be his fault.

“Mr. Barron, even without this matter, there’s a life-or-death grudge between me and Tianqing. They want something from me I can never give. Besides, I took something from them.”

Xu Shaochen disapprovingly said Tianqing wanted the core data for the Genetic Serum production, which he wouldn’t hand over.

Additionally, he took an alien corpse from Tianqing’s Yunzhou Laboratory, which wouldn’t be returned.

So even without tonight’s conversation with Barron, the conflict with Tianqing was unavoidable.

After chatting more with Barron, he learned more about his grandfather.

Late at night, Xu Shaochen took his leave, arranging for Barron to stay at the Yunzhou Grand Hotel.

That night, Xu Shaochen didn’t sleep very well.

……………

Far away in America, Wang Kun didn’t have a chance to sleep.

Wang Lan’s death caused a stir within Tianqing.

“Second Brother, I want to be Tianqing’s leader.”

Wang Kun said to Wang Sheng.

“What did you say?” Wang Sheng was stunned, looking at Wang Kun in disbelief. “Are you crazy? Do you know what you’re saying?”

“Second Brother, I’m serious. I’m discussing with you. As long as you agree, I’ll undoubtedly be Tianqing’s new leader.”

Wang Kun shook his head, looking seriously at Wang Sheng.

“Wang Kun, what a joke. I can’t agree to such an absurd demand. Move aside, big things happened outside, and they’re waiting for me to handle it.”

Wang Sheng said impatiently. Though he recently had a good relationship with Wang Kun, he wouldn’t hand over Tianqing’s leadership.

“Second Brother, I’m not joking. If you don’t agree, you might not make it out today. I’ll take care of things outside.”

Wang Kun finished speaking and clapped his hands.

“Clap Clap!”

A series of rapid and powerful footsteps followed as a group of suited burly men rushed in.

“Wang Kun, what do you mean by this?”

Wang Sheng’s expression changed, staring intently at Wang Kun.

“Watch him closely. Don’t let him take a step. If he runs, shoot him on the spot.”

With a cold tone, Wang Kun gave orders then turned to Wang Sheng, “Second Brother, you’ve treated me sincerely. I don’t want to kill you, so don’t make it hard for me.”

His words fell as he walked out.

“Bastard! Wang Kun, stop! Do you know what you’re doing? Stop right there!”

Wang Sheng seemed insane, emotionally agitated, yelling at Wang Kun’s retreating figure.

He wanted to catch up but was blocked by Wang Kun’s men.

“Second Young Master, don’t make it hard for us. We’re just following orders.”

The leader said coldly to Wang Sheng.

“Bastard! You’re merely Wang Family dogs, daring to show teeth at your master, get lost!”

“Slap!”

Wang Sheng cursed and slapped the man’s face.

Five red marks appeared on his face, but he stood still, showing a mocking smile “Second Young Master, this is why we support Kun and not you. You treat us as dogs, Kun treats us as human.”

Wang Sheng stood there dumbfounded, his face turning pale and green, silent for a long time.

Meanwhile.

With Wang Lan dead, Wang Zhanhang also dead, Wang Sheng not appearing, supported by six other shareholders, Wang Kun became Tianqing’s new leader.

Though unsurprisingly, there were some who opposed him, they were dealt with immediately.

First to make an example.

Secondly, letting them escape would make it hard to kill them later.

Wang Kun vowed to find the mastermind behind Wang Lan’s murder for revenge.

Though he knew it was Xu Shaochen’s doing.

Wang Lan’s whereabouts were given to Long Yi by him.

But this didn’t stop him from acting differently in private.

Putting on an act, it didn’t matter if he believed himself, as long as others did.
