Chapter 521 Public Opinion (Three more updates, please subscribe)

The exploratory negotiations between Lin Rui and Presidential Chief of Staff James Bradley lasted for four hours.

By the time Lin Rui walked out of the post station, it was already midnight.

After Lin Rui got into his car, he slumped down in the seat with his arms and legs spread out, rubbing his forehead in agony. "This old dog is truly a veteran politician. He's absolutely flawless."

He and James Braid had a four-hour verbal battle, with each of them exchanging sharp words and using various jabs of tongue. They tried their best to find each other's flaws. The process was even more tiring than fighting.

At this moment, Xue Lingxue's video call came in. As her silhouette appeared in the flying car, her face was filled with admiration. "You're truly worthy of being the boss. With just a few words, you've already shifted public opinion within the Federation. I think that's exactly what the Chief of Staff wanted to see."

"Oh? Public opinion?"

Lin Rui opened several popular news websites and went into the current affairs forums on these websites. He found that the situation was indeed as Xue Lingxue said. Public opinion within the federation had reversed.

Previously, in these forums, those who sympathized with the Changsheng Society and Zang Shaochen and believed that the president's actions were treasonous and insulting to the national dignity were half and half, and those who supported peace talks were half and half. But now the situation is one-sided.

This can be seen from several popular posts and comments in the forum.

——I think what Lin Hao said makes sense. If we agree with the actions of the Changsheng Society, how can we have the face to call ourselves civilized?
——After hearing what they said, I felt that we were indeed in the wrong. The people of Tianji also have laws and they are also intelligent life forms.

——In fact, I have always felt that the Federation’s actions are disgusting. What is the difference between what they did to Tianji Star and the Western colonization of Asia, Africa and Latin America more than two thousand years ago?
——I know the Changsheng Society. Not only do they not treat the people of Tianji as human beings, they also treat the citizens of the Federation the same way.

——The so-called core interests of the Tianji people should be immortality and the abyss. This is the basis for them to avoid being invaded and colonized by the Earth Federation.

——The case occurred in the Song Dynasty, and according to international practice within the Federation, extradition is also required.

Lin Rui casually flipped through the book and chuckled. "So this old man is cunning. Not only does he want to test the bottom line of our Great Song, he also wants to use me to persuade the citizens of the Earth Federation and reduce their public pressure."

Of course, this is also a good thing for Lin Rui and Da Song. In this way, the President's position can be more flexible and he can make more concessions in the negotiations.

"However, if the president wants to get the Eastern Abyss to relent quickly, I'm afraid it won't be easy. I don't know what this god's bottom line is, so I can only test it little by little."

Lin Rui closed the forums and continued, "Xiaoxue, you're contacting me now. Have you found anything in northern Jingzhou? How's the investigation going?"

In fact, only more than four hours had passed since he gave the task to Xue Lingxue.

However, Lin Rui knew that the Security Bureau had a very dense intelligence network within the Song Dynasty. They had at least 12 intelligence teams in the northern part of Jingzhou. Xue Lingxue only needed to inquire about the latest situation of these teams and summarize them briefly, and perhaps there would be some results.

His female assistant is very capable and would not contact him just to praise him.

Xue Lingxue's expression turned serious. "I've already dispatched three senior alien agents to investigate. They're still en route, but I've just investigated the situation of the many intelligence teams over there and combined the information they reported. I've already made some progress. Boss, your guess is correct. There's indeed external interference over there."

Many of the high-ranking members of the Holy Light Church there are likely dead or under someone's control. The Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy has likely been sidelined and is unable to control the local situation."

"Oh?" Lin Rui's eyes narrowed: "Then what is their purpose——"

Lin Rui had just said this when he sensed a sudden alarm coming from outside the flying car. It was Jing Yuefang, the captain of Luo Wangshu's Dragon Guard.

"Master Lin, be careful, there are assassins! They are very powerful."

At this time, Gong Hengdao sent a message.

Hengdao Gong: Boss, we have detected a large number of martial artists nearby. The imperial guards outside your convoy failed to stop them, and they have already infiltrated.

Hengdao Gong: "Boss, beware! I've observed at least twelve 'Red Gold Shadow Dragons' and 'Dark Gold Shadow Dragons' sneaking in. They're likely the Federation's renowned assassination team, the 'Shadow Killing Group.'" Lin Rui's eyes glared, a feeling of frustration building within him. Being the Commander of the Assassination Bureau is truly a high-risk job. How many assassinations has he already experienced since assuming this position? It's truly endless!

This time it was the notorious 'Shadow Killing Group' within the Federation?
He raised his hand without hesitation and summoned the Heavenly Demon Dragon Armor 'Heavenly Decree' to his front.

This set of Heavenly Demon Dragon Armor is easier to wear than other dragon armors. It can be directly disassembled and reassembled into parts and covered on his body.

At the same time, the figure of the 'Spiritual and Bright Dragon' began to appear outside the flying car.

Ji Xueying and Shangguan Tianyi in the car also had solemn expressions. On the one hand, they each drew their swords and stood beside Lin Rui, while on the other hand, they each controlled the war dragon and flew out of the dragon box.

They sensed the enemy just as Dragon Guard Captain Jing Yuefang gave a warning, so their reaction speed was second only to Jing Yuefang and Deputy Captain Su Xinmei.

After Lin Rui put on the dragon armor, he looked out the window and immediately realized that the situation was not good.

Since the second divine envoy had returned to Beijing early after receiving the federal president, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites Cao Xi had to stay in the Shenlin Palace, Lin Rui returned alone.

However, Lin Rui's defense force is still very powerful. In addition to the captain and deputy captain of the Dragon Guard lent to him by Luo Wangshu, there are three 7th-level super king dragon guards under Lin Rui's command, plus a team of -man Divine Guards - not only are all members of the Divine Guards at the th level in dragon form, there is also an th-level emperor-level master, and six th-level emperor-level and super king-level Divine Guards!

In addition, there are two thousand elite "Yulin Guards" guarding the periphery of the convoy.

However, the strength of this 'Shadow Killing Group' was even stronger. Although Jing Yuefang and the others woke up in time and fought with all their might, they were still at a disadvantage.

It can be seen that the surrounding Yulin Guards suffered heavy casualties, and the rest of the Divine Guards were also struggling. In a very short period of time, six of these hundred people were killed by the Shadow Killing Group.

These people appeared and disappeared mysteriously in the shadows, used very strange martial arts, and had a large number of snipers to provide cover and reinforcements, making them impossible to guard against.

Jing Yuefang and deputy captain Su Xinmei were also caught in a tough battle. Their opponents turned out to be two ninth-level super-king martial artists, and it was extremely difficult for them to resist.

Lin Rui's mind flashed through the information of the 'Shadow Killing Group'. This was a killer team formed by a ninth-level imperial magician, and its strength was extremely powerful.

Until now, no one has figured out exactly how many people are in this team and what their true form is. All we know is that this 'Shadow Killing Group' has at least two ninth-level masters and five to six eighth-level masters. Their overall strength is even stronger than many 'Honorary Members of Congress'.

Although their leader is not an honorary member of Congress, two honorary members of Congress have died at their hands so far.

This 'Shadow Killing Group' usually doesn't make a move, but when they do, it's a big order that can bring in at least two or three hundred billion in revenue.

The problem is that this place is nearly 200 miles away from Luojing and about 200 miles away from Shenlin Palace.

Xue Lingxue: Boss, our sniper team is already in place, please hold on and wait for help!
However, Lin Rui thought for a moment and then jumped out with his two swords.

Ji Xueying and Shangguan Tianyi were both shocked and puzzled. The flying car they were riding was a large-scale magic weapon of the Eight Realms, with extremely powerful defensive capabilities! Lin Rui actually gave up the flying car and chose to take the initiative to attack.

However, the two of them immediately understood Lin Rui's intention and jumped out of the car window without hesitation.

Although this flying car is good, it is a dead object. Once the Shadow Killing Group gains full advantage, it will be easy for them to destroy this flying car!
So instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative.

They also received a three-dimensional map sent by Lin Rui through quantum communication.

The master has actually clearly marked the locations of those snipers hiding in the dark.
