Chapter 445: What happens afterward? (Subscribe)
Outside Linghu Mingde's study, Linghu Tianchou and Fang Ranran sat together.

Linghu Tianchou kept looking at the study door with a suspicious look. On the one hand, he was carrying out the task given by his father to ensure that no one could get close. On the other hand, he was wondering why his father attached so much importance to Lin Rui. Why did he leave Lin Rui alone?
Fang Ranran asked with difficulty: "Uncle, my aunt and my cousins ​​are not at home today?"

Today is Linghu Mingde’s birthday, but Linghu Tianchou’s wife and children are not at home.

"She took the children back to her mother's home." Linghu Tianchou smiled bitterly, "Her mother is ill, so she wants to take the children back to see her."

Fang Ranran's expression was complicated, sad and helpless: "This is all my fault. It's my fault that made things difficult for you."

In fact, her aunt had been really nice to her before. It was indeed her aunt who raised her and treated her like her own daughter. Fang Ranran could feel that she was genuinely good to her.

However, ever since Linghu Mingde invested a lot of resources in her, even selling Mingde University to help her obtain the management rights of her mother's inheritance in advance, Fang Ranran clearly felt that her aunt's attitude had changed.

"What are you thinking about?"

Linghu Tianchou first stretched out his hand to pinch Fang Ranran's cheek, and then rubbed her head fiercely: "Your aunt is a little angry about this, but you are underestimating her. Your grandfather is very fair. It's not like he hasn't trained us brothers and spared no effort. He also put a lot of effort into the three generations of the Linghu family's outstanding ones, but in the end, none of them could hold up the situation.

Your aunt is a sensible person. She knows that if no one in the Linghu family stands up, then our family business will be lost. Now the Linghu family's only hope is you. Only if you become a member of Congress can you inherit his network of connections in the federal government."

Linghu Tianchou shook his head. "Let me tell you the truth. Your aunt actually followed your father-in-law's orders to take her children to her maternal family to avoid disaster. Although your father-in-law was very confident, he always wanted to be prepared for the worst."

Fang Ranran's heart suddenly sank. Her father-in-law actually planned to let Linghu Tianchou's family escape disaster?
This shows that his physical condition is already very grim, and may be much worse than Fang Ranran expected.

You must know that in his heyday, Linghu Mingde could even confront the Security Bureau's chief commander head-on.

In the past, it was Linghu Mingde who protected the former president to meet Li Jianglong, and fought with Li Jianglong, who was at the ninth level emperor level, for half an hour without losing the upper hand.

The battle between him and Jin Bolong should be easy.

"This is also to reduce our family's weaknesses, to extract as much strength as possible, to clench our fists together, so that hitting people hurts."

Linghu Tianchou sighed at this point, "This is all due to our brothers' incompetence. If only your mother were still alive, why would father, even when he's entering the Five Decays of the Celestial Beings, still be worrying about our affairs?"

Fang Ranran also looked unhappy when she heard this.

She wished God could give her a little more time.

Even if it only takes another half year, their family's situation will be different. She will definitely be elected as a member of parliament and protect the Linghu family from the coming storm.

※※※※

In the study, Linghu Mingde sat face to face with Lin Rui, personally pouring tea for him and answering his questions. "Li Tianxing and Jin Bolong do have a strong interest in each other. He came here to issue an ultimatum to me on Jin Bolong's behalf. However, it is absolutely impossible for him to directly participate in this war to help Jin Bolong."

The teapot was now full, and Linghu Mingde gestured for an invitation: "Come and try my homemade tea, which combines the best of both Tianjixing and the Earth Federation."

Lin Rui first tasted it lightly and felt that the taste was very strong, which made him feel refreshed.

He thought there must be something wrong with Linghu Mingde's taste buds. How could such tea be delicious?

But the refreshing effect is quite good.

Lin Rui, for Linghu Mingde's sake, drank it all in one gulp, then continued to ask, "Li Tianxing should be a member of the Changsheng Society, right?"

"The power of the Changsheng Society is indeed terrifying, with a size equivalent to that of a country. However, it is actually a collection of many forces, with numerous factions within it. The leaders joined the Changsheng Society for different reasons, just like the Shenzhao Society before them, so you must not treat them as a single entity."

Linghu Mingde laughed dumbly: "I also have two friends working in the Changsheng Society. They have great influence. As long as they are still in office, it will be difficult for Jin Bolong to use the power of the Changsheng Society to target me. You know, when a force becomes big, bureaucracy is inevitable.

He thought Lin Rui liked his tea, so he continued to pour it for Lin Rui: "Besides, I have been operating and cultivating in Tianji Star and within the Federation for so many years, and have made so many friends. If I am overwhelmed by Jin Bolong in terms of external forces, wouldn't it be incompetence?
To be frank, if it weren't for the fact that I was nearing the end of my lifespan and not far from death, and some of my relationships were beginning to cool and fade, Jin Bolong wouldn't be worthy of being my opponent."

Lin Rui thought to himself, I believe this. Just now, looking at the expressions of those ninth-level masters, except for Minister Li, most of the others were on Linghu Mingde's side.

But compared to Linghu Mingde, who was close to death, they were more reluctant to offend Li Tianxing, the Minister of State-owned Assets.

At the same time, he looked at the tea in front of him with a slight headache, thinking that this tea was really terrible!

"But they're right about one thing." Lin Rui played with the teacup in his hand. "If Jin Bolong is forced into a desperate situation, he will definitely fight to the death and use his personal strength to fight you to the death!"

"So, the battle between me and the Jin family will ultimately be decided by personal strength. External forces can be relied upon, but personal strength is the foundation."

Linghu Mingde looked at Lin Rui with a smile: "So you also want to persuade me to give in and persuade me to calm down?"

"You can't retreat!" Lin Rui shook his head. "In my eyes, old sir, you're like a mother bear protecting her cubs. Surrounded by wolves, if you give in even a little, showing signs of weakness and decline, those wolves and vultures will pounce and devour all your property."

Linghu Mingde couldn't help but raise his lips slightly upon hearing this, his eyes filled with relief, thinking that this child was indeed a young hero. But the next moment, he heard Lin Rui say, "If I were you, I would definitely give my all to bring down the Jin family before I fell. The Jin family is one of the top three real estate developers in the Ninth Base City, owning numerous commercial properties in prime locations. They're a much better target for those wolves and vultures, effectively sharing the pressure on your Linghu family and buying time for your cubs to grow."

Linghu Mingde was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he burst into laughter, feeling extremely pleased.

He thought he had underestimated Lin Rui. He was worthy of being the commander of the Assassination Bureau within half a year of his arrival and causing a huge storm in the entire Tianji Star.

Linghu Mingde finally stopped laughing after a while, his expression gradually becoming serious. "I'll be honest with you. My health is rapidly deteriorating. Even if this incident hadn't happened, I wouldn't have survived past two years. Actually, I should really thank you. You killed 'Ling Huan'. Not only did you relieve my deep hatred, but you also brought forward the election by several years."

I should be able to win this battle against Jin Bolong, but even if I do, I won't be able to survive for long. I might be able to hold out until the end of this election, but there are always unexpected events. It's time to entrust my affairs to you."

As Linghu Mingde spoke, he placed over seventy electronic business cards in front of Lin Rui. "These are all old brothers who have followed me for hundreds of years and are loyal to me. I'm not sure how many of them will be alive after this war, but I've told them that if they survive, they can join your Alien Studio or Hailan Alien Company."

Lin Rui was stunned at first, then flattered. He asked in great confusion, "Old sir, why are you doing this? Isn't this a bad idea? Even if we don't hand these people over to your children, we can hand them over to Ranran. Besides, my studio and Yiti Company are so small, how can we accommodate these great talents?"

These people can live for hundreds of years, so they must be masters above the sixth level of dragon transformation!

Linghu Mingde shook his head upon hearing this, thinking that Lin Rui was already quite big now, with a well-developed skeleton, and would have a formidable future.

Linghu Mingde not only knew that Lin Rui was Commander Lin Hao and General Thunder, but also the Fourth Holy Son whom the Holy Church of Light had never found.

Although Li Jianglong had intervened and cleared many traces for Lin Rui, Linghu Mingde had already known Lin Rui before Li Jianglong.

Just the traces that Lin Rui left behind at the Alien Management Bureau when he arrived were enough for him to confirm Lin Rui's identity.

With the child's current financial resources and power, he can definitely support these people.

"The reason I didn't leave these old brothers to Tianchou and the others is because they can't control them. How can cattle and horses control lions and tigers? Over time, it might hurt the friendship between me and them. You know, people's hearts can change. If they see that my descendants are weak and can be bullied, what will they think in the future? It's hard to say."

Linghu Mingde sighed, "I didn't leave it to Ranran because she lacks martial arts skills. Although she's smart, her talent for combat training is only at the middle level of the Ten Elites. She can neither convince us old brothers nor provide a platform for us to realize our ambitions and display our abilities."

He actually left some people for Ranran, and they were the most loyal, docile and least likely to get into trouble group under his command.

Those given to Lin Rui were also powerful people whom he had befriended out of gratitude.

This is a group of heroes, but also a group of tigers and wolves, and tigers and wolves eat meat!

If a group of people like this were forced to stay with Fang Ranran, it would pose a huge hidden danger to her.

"Lin Rui, you can subdue them. You are stronger than Tianchou, Ranran and the others. Much stronger."

Linghu Mingde smiled decisively: "Lin Rui, although you have great potential now, you lack claws and wings. As long as your claws are sharp and your wings are full, you will be able to soar to the sky. The most important thing is, I believe in you!"

There is no reason more important than trust.

Although the child in front of him has serious mental problems and is deeply involved with the "Children's Song Killer", his nature is not bad. He values ​​friendship and gratitude.

Lin Rui is an alien traveler, but he is able to fight for the people of Yinyue County with his life. He is also able to give up those more profitable categories of goods in the smuggling trade and do the trade of daily necessities with meager profits. This shows what kind of person he is.

How bad can the character of such a child be?

When Lin Rui heard this, his expression was slightly moved.

He was originally thinking that it would be better to just stop interfering and let Linghu Mingde die, so that he could have a full meal.

After hearing this, Lin Rui felt a pang of conscience again.

"Let's just forget it." Lin Rui put down his teacup and sneered, "Old man, are you trying to take advantage of my youth and ignorance? I'm afraid these people you left me are just thorns in your hands. You can't even control them yourself, and you want to dump them on me? It's better for you to deal with these troublesome guys yourself."

Linghu Mingde was stunned. Lin Rui's reaction was completely different from what he expected. It was totally out of the ordinary.

"Since you investigated me, you should know about my subordinate Gong Hengdao, right? He was once severely harmed by the ghost, but now he has recovered. And the old comrades he recruited into my studio were also a group of colonized psychopaths, but now they are in good condition."

Lin Rui looked at Linghu Mingde with sharp eyes: "In order to promote Ruifang Pharmaceutical's skin care products, Ranran once boasted in various online soft articles that I was the second-generation disciple of Academician Huangfu and that I had studied pharmacology with Academician Huangfu when I was young.

She actually stumbled upon it by mistake. I am indeed the second-generation disciple of Academician Huangfu, and I can be considered his student. Now, I think you, old sir, can still be saved!"

When Linghu Mingde heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted violently.

　No more at night.
