Fatal Flaw

Meng Chao's mind raced. He now had a general gist of what was going on. 

He also understood why Gao Ye chose to kill Xie Xiaolei. 

In the past, they were business partners. Gao Ye might have been talented in biochemical modification technology, but he was not skilled in managing a company or fighting in the business field.

He needed Xie Xiaolei to manage Spirit Creation Creatures and provide an endless stream of funds for his research. 

But now, Spirit Creation Creatures had seized the deal for Subway No.20 and an even wider market was now open before their eyes. As long as Gao Ye believed that his skills were good enough, even if Xie Xiaolei was not around and another manager rose up, they could still keep the company running. 

Because of that, Xie Xiaolei no longer had any value, but was a roadblock in Gao Ye's plan to conduct further research, so making him disappear from the world was the best choice.
