Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 1802 The Person Behind The Scenes

Meng Chao fell silent.

He felt like he had once again fallen into a complicated maze.

There was no need for Tailless Monkey to lie.

After all, this was a good thing, not a bad one.

If he really was the one who had left the sign, he would practically be a hero and Dragon City's savior. Forget about the others, the benefits that Meng Chao's Superstar Company alone could give him through the gaps of their fingers were enough for Tailless Monkey to live an easy life. He would obtain great wealth and be free.

So, if Tailless Monkey had not left the clues pointing to Horizon Biotechnology Co. Ltd. behind, who could it have been?

It was clear that before Meng Chao and Ai Lei arrived at Tailless Monkey's living quarters, a third party had sneaked in and left the clue behind.

After further analysis, the person responsible should have known about Meng Chao's existence.

The clue had been specifically left for Meng Chao to find.

However, here came the problem: Meng Chao's return to Dragon City was unexpected. In fact, even Meng Chao himself never anticipated it. The whole thing had been a random event.

After sneaking back to Dragon City, he had not come into direct contact with anyone other than Ai Lei.

How could anyone have possibly locked onto him and determined his identity in just a few days or even one day?

Who was this person, or rather, whose side was this person on?

Naturally, it could not have been the Blood Alliance.

It could only have been an enemy of the Blood Alliance.

The problem was, if the person was an enemy of the Blood Alliance and whoever it was had an important clue pointing to Horizon Biotechnology Co. Ltd…

Why did the person not pass the clue to the official organizations like the Supernatural Tower or the Red Dragon Army?

Would it not have been safer and more convenient to eliminate the Blood Alliance that way?

Why did the person leave the clues to Meng Chao so that he could stop the assassination attempt, expose the conspiracy, and get rid of the Blood Alliance all by himself?

It was as if the mysterious person hiding in the dark wanted to lead Meng Chao by the nose and push him into the spotlight at the same time, turning him into a superhero before everyone's eyes.

"This person…"

Meng Chao's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of two needles.

He suddenly remembered that when he was searching Tailless Monkey's house, he had a very strange but familiar feeling.

It was as though someone was lurking nearby and spying on him.

However, when he expanded his vitality magnetic field and scanned his surroundings, the feeling vanished.

The other party was like an ice cube, melting in the vast ocean.

Back then, Meng Chao merely thought that he was hallucinating.

Perhaps he was being oversensitive because he had not returned to Dragon City for too long.

Now that he thought about it, his initial feeling had been correct.

The mysterious person who had used the sludge from the kitchen to leave Horizon Biotechnology Co. Ltd.'s logo at the top of the cabinet had been lurking nearby at the time and even brushed past him.

"It's a person I know. No, not just 'know,' but someone I'm very familiar with!"

Meng Chao mumbled to himself, "That's why she was able to sense my presence the moment I returned to Dragon City!"

"Senior?" Ai Lei asked uncertainly via the communication channel.

Even though Meng Chao's identity was no longer a secret, she was used to calling him "Senior."

After all, no matter how young he was, it was difficult for people to not look at him with respect. He was a new warrior who had caused the death of two Deity Realm experts the moment he returned to Dragon City.

"Let me guess…"

Meng Chao fell silent for a moment before he said, "Tailless Monkey didn't know who asked him to get someone to interview Shen Yulin, did he?"

"That's right. How did you know, Senior?"

Ai Lei was surprised. "Tailless Monkey said that he didn't know the employer at all. He was just hanging out in a bar one day, and for some reason, someone stuffed a note into his pocket and told him to check a locker.

"Driven by curiosity, he ended up retrieving a briefcase from the locker. The instructions in the briefcase specified that he 'find someone to interview Shen Yulin.' There was also an anonymous store value card inside. It was the type that allowed him to buy rare items at the Monster Market.

"He didn't want to take the mission.

"After all, the employer was too mysterious, and the contents of the mission involved Universe Corporation and the Shen family. It was obvious that it wouldn't be as simple as an interview. He might even lose his head.

"However, it couldn't be helped. The employer offered too much… The store card's credit limit was enough for Tailless Monkey to spend lavishly for an entire year.

"In addition, the other party didn't ask Tailless Monkey to personally interview Shen Yulin. They only asked him to find a suitable reporter.

"Tailless Monkey thought that he had gotten lucky, so he found me. After I left Dragon City and crossed Monster Mountain Range to reach Red Creek Valley, he went into hiding. Unexpectedly, he failed to evade capture."

"Understood. You should be the only one who knows the identity of the middleman. Since you weren't caught by Universe Corporation or the Blood Alliance, those two forces wouldn't have been able to locate Tailless Monkey so quickly. Only one person could have caught Tailless Monkey before the two of us, and that person is Tailless Monkey's employer. It's the person who asked you to interview Shen Yulin!"

Meng Chao frowned and continued, "So, the entire interview was a conspiracy? The purpose was not to interview him but to alert him and deliberately trigger an intense reaction from Shen Yulin?

"But why? No matter how sharp the questions are, an interview alone wouldn't be enough to get any useful information from Shen Yulin, who's a member of the Blood Alliance!"

Meng Chao was even more confused now.

Nevertheless, he was increasingly certain of the mysterious person's identity because he had smelled an unusually familiar scent from her technique.

"Help me look after Tailless Monkey. I'll meet him in person later," Meng Chao said to Ai Lei.

"I'm going to Azure Medical Center!"

…

Azure Medical Center was a large comprehensive medical institution under the Azure Alliance.

Although it was a private medical institution that had just been established a year ago, it had the support of the Broken Star Club, Battle God Palace, Blue Home, Superstar Company, and other forces. It had developed extremely fast, and its medical technology was top-notch. Even so, the treatment fees were much lower than those in other private medical institutions, and its cost-performance ratio was incredibly high. Soon, it became the first choice for a large number of ordinary citizens to treat their injuries, maintain spirit meridians, and install rune prosthetics.

Due to the Blood Alliance's reckless actions, a large number of citizens had been injured in the rat tide's outbreak and the spread of the zombie virus. At this moment, Azure Medical Center was overcrowded like the other major medical institutions in Dragon City.

The cries of the injured and the sharp sound of the ambulance were mixed together with the low groans of the infected. The air was cold and tense.
