Chapter 239: Hit It Off (Subscribe)
"Minister Zhou!" Lin Rui quickened his pace and took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Zhou Yunfei. He didn't expect that Zhou Yunfei would also come forward to shake hands with him.

"Student Lin!" Zhou Yunfei shook Lin Rui's hand with great strength. "So, that Defense Envoy Lin is actually Student Lin? Old Han, this guy has been hiding this from me for so long."

"I am Lin Twelve." Lin Rui said apologetically, "I hope you will forgive me for any offense I may have caused you before."

"Understand, understand!"

Zhou Yunfei's heart was actually still in great turmoil. Lin Twelve, the Defense Envoy of Wangcheng, and the rising star of the Imperial City Division who was about to take charge of the Assassination Bureau, was actually Lin Rui!

So his previous contact with Xue Lingxue was actually a test of his character? This shows that Lin Rui values ​​safety more.

Zhou Yunfei's expression was even more sincere and honest: "This is as it should be. Xiao Rui, you will need to be more cautious when working in our security department in the future. Don't worry! I have always believed that being honest is the foundation of being a person, and being smart is the way to success.

Our East Asian Republic Security Front has always been based on safety, confidentiality, discipline, prudence, and credibility. We will do everything possible to protect our agents. We believe that betrayal and deception cannot last in the security sector, and we must not let our brothers and comrades down.

Lin Rui would not easily believe other people's sweet words.

However, the fact that Minister Zhou asked Xue Lingxue to reject him showed that he was not just talking big.

Lin Rui offered such a huge benefit, but Zhou Yunfei still flatly refused it. This shows that this person's character is trustworthy.

"I believe Minister Zhou!" Lin Rui said sincerely, "I asked Professor Han to invite you here this time. First, it's about the dossier you mentioned. Second, I want to seek help from Minister Zhou. I've been working alone down there. Although I've made some progress, I'm finding it increasingly difficult. I'm sure the Minister should have heard that the Third Divine Envoy has recently decided to take me in as his disciple, promising to give me important positions. I know this is a great opportunity, but it also brings huge troubles. Now I can only ask for your help."

Zhou Yunfei burst into laughter when he heard this.

I thought to myself, now that I have Lin Rui, what else do I have to worry about?

He thought of the ancient times when Cao Cao had Guo Jia and Liu Bei had Zhuge Liang. It must have been a similar feeling, right? Everything is worry-free!

Zhou Yunfei was also very satisfied with Lin Rui's character and personality, and thought that he was indeed a young hero!
Since Lin Rui is Lin Twelve, the previous battle in Qin Yan's cave was the process of Lin Rui taking risks to save his master, and he turned the situation of Old Han's defeat around.

Also, the Third Divine Envoy had decided to accept Lin Rui into his fold? This was something they hadn't grasped before.

Before, we only knew that Lin Twelve would likely gain the attention and favor of the third divine envoy, and might be able to rise to the top from the position of defense envoy.

Zhou Yunfei's mind was a little dazed for a moment and he could hardly believe it.

The East Asian Republic has always wanted to get close to the top leaders of the Imperial City Bureau and further contact those people in the abyss, but has never succeeded.

This matter that has troubled them for two or three hundred years is about to be accomplished in his hands?
Zhou Yunfei also thought of Lin Rui's parents and his two younger sisters, and thought that this family was really extraordinary, and each of them was an outstanding person.

Lin Rui actually has a lot of trouble, but Zhou Yunfei doesn't care.

He was determined to protect this child. Whether from the perspective of position or interests, this was someone he could naturally trust.

The purpose of Zhou Yunfei being pushed to this position by the East Asian Republic was to clean up the Ninth Branch of the Security Bureau and at the same time find out what kind of monsters are hiding in the Ninth Base.

Zhou Yunfei pulled Lin Rui towards the restaurant. "There's no rush. Come, let's sit down and talk. I'm very curious. How did you become the Defense Envoy of the Imperial City Division, Xiao Rui? How did you pass the most difficult Heavenly Demon Test? I'm completely confused now. This Heavenly Demon Test has been difficult for us for many years, and some people have passed it, but no one has ever been able to hide it from their National Guard War Dragon. That's why I never thought about it before—"

Lin Rui was very frank and told Zhou Yunfei everything that happened after he arrived.

There is nothing to hide. Even some unreasonable things can be explained by his extraordinary talent.

Zhou Yunfei was secretly shocked after hearing this. This guy had mastered Yi Jin Lian Gu to the Great Perfection stage in just a few days? Is this really something a human can do?

However, the reason why this child can get to this point is not just because of his talent. In addition to his talent for cultivation, Lin Rui's courage, wisdom and adaptability are all indispensable.

The Olin Club served them the food at 6:00 on time, and the atmosphere at the banquet was even more cheerful. One side wanted to win them over and was open with each other; the other side also wanted to join in and was honest with each other. Professor Han was there to help them guide the topic and harmonize the atmosphere. It can be said that both the guests and the hosts were very happy.

Finally, when it came to Lin Rui's treatment, Zhou Yunfei was very straightforward. He waved his hand and said, "How about this: Lin Rui will be specially recruited by me to join the Security Bureau and given the rank of Lieutenant General. All treatment, rights and responsibilities will be the same as those of a Colonial Lieutenant General in our Security Bureau.

I will establish a special 3S-classified Special Operations Section specifically for him within the Confidential Office under my direct jurisdiction. Lin Rui will be the section chief. Their primary responsibilities will be to ensure Lin Rui's safety on Tianji Star and to investigate and prosecute any matters that may affect Lin Twelve's mission safety on Tianji Star. Furthermore, this operations section will have all the powers and responsibilities of the Confidential Office."

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui and Professor Han looked at each other in surprise.

Professor Han was particularly surprised. In fact, before Lin Rui came, he had already hinted to his old classmate.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yunfei increased his salary by half a level on this basis.

Moreover, the Confidential Affairs Office has great powers and responsibilities. Theoretically, after obtaining Zhou Yunfei's authorization, it can intervene in all aspects of cases in the Ninth Base City.

Professor Han looked at Zhou Yunfei suspiciously. "Directly grant the Security Bureau the rank of Lieutenant General? Is that even possible?"

You have to know that Zhou Yunfei himself is just a colonial general, and his position in the Ninth Branch is not very stable.

In his opinion, it was already very good that Zhou Yunfei could help Lin Rui obtain the rank of major general.

"This isn't just my family's business." Zhou Yunfei glanced at Professor Han. "If we want Lin Twelve's matter to be foolproof, the boss's war dragon must take action. Do you think all those astrologers in the Song Dynasty are just for show? Only a Ninth Realm Divine Illuminator can suppress the destiny for him."

Did his old friend think that everything would be fine if he passed the Heavenly Demon Test?
In fact, even the Nine Realms Divine Light may not be safe. When others see that Lin Twelve's fate is in chaos, they know that there is something wrong with him.

However, Lin Rui has another advantage. He is connected with three abysses and is proficient in four abyss concepts. With the interference of the abyss's will, it is normal that the astrologer cannot see the mark of his destiny.

Professor Han's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself that he had forgotten about the astrologers of the Song Dynasty, whose abilities rivaled those of the Federation's large-scale model deductions. Now that Lin Rui had ascended to the position of Commander of the Assassination Bureau, not only would the Federation, including the Security Bureau, be scrutinizing him closely, but the local forces of Tianji Star would also be keeping a close eye on Lin Twelve's every move.

At that time, there will definitely be an astrologer who will help Lin Twelve and observe the mark of his destiny.

If they see anything, the situation will be troublesome.

Professor Han looked puzzled. "Hasn't your boss already fallen asleep? I heard he's collaborating with the East Asian Academy of Sciences on an experiment to see if he can break through to the Tenth Realm of Immortality. Wouldn't it be a good idea to wake him now?"

"Old Han, you are quite well-informed."

Zhou Yunfei was slightly surprised, then chuckled softly, his eyes quirking. "Before he fell asleep, the boss gave me control of his Colonial War Dragon. To facilitate my work within the Ninth Branch, he also allowed me to use some of his authority within the Security Bureau. However, I must explain all my actions to him afterwards."

Professor Han was slightly shocked, wondering if his old classmate was so awesome.
He knew that the boss was Zhou Yunfei's biggest supporter within the Federal Security Bureau.

Before being promoted to Colonial General, Zhou Yunfei had always been the secretary of that boss.

Professor Han never expected that the boss trusted Zhou Yunfei to such an extent that he was willing to hand over the control of the 9SSS-level colonial war dragon to Zhou Yunfei.

And this kind of operation is illegal, right? The boss gave Zhou Yunfei this authority, most likely to prevent something, but Zhou Yunfei used it here.

Zhou Yunfei looked through Ruize and thought that since he was going to use the war dragon, it would definitely alarm the boss afterwards, so he might as well do it in one go and directly raise Lin Rui's level.

He understood that "the way to select talents is to seek their true qualities; the way to employ people is to make the best use of their talents." He also knew that if he wanted to win over a person like Lin Rui, in addition to treating him with sincerity, he also had to use him well and reward him handsomely.

However, the reason why Zhou Yunfei did this was not only to recruit Lin Rui, but also out of practical needs.

The three deputy ministers of the Ninth Branch were all deeply entrenched, like dragons and tigers. The three parties joined forces and almost sidelined him.

Ever since the failed infiltration of the Imperial City Bureau, his confidential office had been penetrated by these three people and was like a sieve, with leaks everywhere.

Zhou Yunfei was very worried that Lin Rui would be targeted by these deputy ministers, and he was also worried that Lin Twelve's identity would be leaked.

Now the only way to prevent these deputy ministers from meddling and intervening is to raise Lin Rui's confidentiality level and authority.

He also wanted to use the newly established Third Special Operations Department to reorganize his direct forces in the Ninth Division.

Although the boss gave him great authority and support, Zhou Yunfei could not use it at will, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the boss afterwards.

Now that he has Lin Rui as an excuse, Zhou Yunfei has the opportunity to use this authority, and naturally he wants to get as many benefits as possible.

Moreover, judging from Lin Rui's experience, this child has outstanding abilities.

Zhou Yunfei was also looking forward to this future commander of the Anti-Traitor Bureau.

He smiled at Lin Rui and said, "Also, given that your undercover mission in the Imperial City Division is very important to the security of our Earth Federation, you can apply for a secret operation fund from above. How much would you like to apply for?"

Lin Rui was stunned when he heard this, and he felt suspicious. He asked tentatively, "I don't quite understand this. Uncle Zhou, what do you think is appropriate?"

Zhou Yunfei asked him to call him Uncle Zhou in private.

"Then I'll allocate 50 billion federal coins this year. I'll initially transfer 5 million federal coins to your Third Special Operations Division account. You can apply to me for further use."

Zhou Yunfei thought that since he had allocated the money in Lin Rui's name, even if the boss found out later, he probably wouldn't be too angry.

"In order to ensure Lin Twelve's identity is completely secure, I think it's necessary to transfer a 6A action team from the Second Base to the Third Special Operations Division, and then pair it with four 5A action teams and two 5A alien agent teams. What do you think? To ensure safety, the Third Special Operations Division needs to apply for nine 'Jianlong' 6 combat robots, plus three 'Jianlong' 7--"

Seeing Lin Rui nod blankly, Zhou Yunfei continued with a smile, saying a lot more. He then typed information into his personal smart terminal: "Okay, Xiao Rui, these are your requirements for accepting our Security Bureau recruitment, right? I can make the decision, and the acting CEO has agreed! Xiao Rui, do you have any other requirements? If so, feel free to ask."

Lin Rui wondered why he had so many requests. He didn't even dare to ask.

I'm a newcomer. Aren't I afraid that my boss will be annoyed and think he's greedy if I make these requests?
But he gradually got to know what was going on and simply kept silent.

Lin Rui realized that these things and funds nominally belonged to his Third Special Operations Department, but were actually in the hands of Zhou Yunfei.

This is not what he wanted.

Professor Han looked at his old classmate silently, thinking that Old Zhou was also a brave man.

From this we can also see that this person suffered a huge loss a few months ago.

After Zhou Yunfei finished speaking, Lin Rui spoke up, "Uncle Zhou, I'd like to have the authority to recruit several lieutenant colonels in the Security Bureau. The higher the confidentiality level, the better. Also, can Xue Lingxue be my assistant?"

He now needs to take care of several things at once and certainly doesn't have much time to focus on the Third Special Operations Department. At this time, he needs a reliable assistant.

Zhou Yunfei raised his lips slightly when he heard this, thinking that this was exactly what he wanted: "Okay! I'll have her report to you tomorrow."

He had previously decisively rejected Lin Twelve's request for Xue Lingxue's conditions, but now he agreed without hesitation.

With Xue Lingxue looking after the Third Special Operations Division, Zhou Yunfei felt very relieved. It was a great thing that Lin Ruiken took the initiative to ask Xiaoxue to come over.
