Chapter 581: Drastic Change (Subscription Request)

At the same time, in the Linghu family's manor villa, Fang Ranran was hiding in her room, watching the news on the projection TV.

She was self-aware and knew that her mediocre skills might be enough to survive in the university martial arts league, but on the battlefield she would be a burden to others and a flaw and weakness to Lin Rui and her father-in-law.

So when the war broke out, she obediently ran back to her own manor and hid there, waiting for the war to end.

However, Fang Ranran sent out the 9SS+ Dragon Destroyer she had just bought and her two 8SSS Red Spider combat robots.

Although my uncle Linghu Tianchou was leading the Linghu family's private army to confront the Taiyi Group's army along the pipeline in area B421, the situation there was also very difficult.

However, Fang Ranran still placed the 9SS+ type Dragon Fighter at the dock base.

After all, my father-in-law said that the biological colonization research institute must not be lost.

Fang Ranran has been feeling uneasy. She knows that Linghu Mingde and Lin Rui have a good chance of winning, but the battle is not over yet. Who can be 100% sure that they will win?
There are many variables, including within the federal government.

Until she saw the news broadcast on the news channel of 'New Metropolis TV'.

"The latest news is that due to strong government intervention, the corporate war within our city has come to an end. Currently, the pharmaceutical company alliance headed by Taiyi Biological Group has entered the negotiation stage with Ruifang Pharmaceutical and the Linghu family."

"Mayor Huo Bangguo has lifted the war alert and city-wide martial law. However, the city government has issued a warning. Due to the current uncertain negotiation situation, citizens of the Ninth Base City are advised to refrain from leaving their homes until the negotiations are concluded. Furthermore, the city government is urging all government and commercial organizations to temporarily close until the situation stabilizes."

"—According to reports, the Pharmaceutical Alliance suffered heavy casualties in this war and was completely defeated. Our station has obtained the list of the Nine Realms and Eight Realms members who died on the Pharmaceutical Alliance side, including Reserve Four-Star Marshal Sal Didas, Reserve Three-Star Marshal Xie Linguo, Reserve Three-Star Marshal Dou Tian, ​​and Reserve Three-Star Marshal Wang Qiming—"

"It is said that a secret pharmaceutical base owned by Honorary Congressman Qi Tianquan was breached by Ruifang Pharmaceuticals Chairman Lin Rui, and four heavy armored divisions and over 4 Dragon Transformation masters were completely wiped out. However, no footage has been released yet, and the details of the battle are still unknown—"

"Regarding the unfortunate incident near Taiyi Biotech Group's headquarters, Mayor Huo Bangguo, along with the President and a special envoy from Congress, have ordered Taiyi Biotech Group Chairman Yang Lingxiao to compensate all those who lost their sight for medical expenses, lost wages, and mental damages."

Fang Ranran raised the corners of her lips slightly, and then she changed the channel to a political commentary program.

This is the most popular program in the Ninth Base City, known for keeping up with current affairs and its fair stance.

At this time, several special guests of the political talk show were having a heated discussion.

"This is undoubtedly a crushing defeat! Honestly, I never expected this corporate war to end this way. You know, biopharmaceuticals and colonization have always been the pillar industries of our Ninth Base City, so the pharmaceutical companies in our base are extremely powerful!"

"I didn't expect this either. Even though I learned twenty minutes ago that Marshal Linghu had ascended to the Ninth Realm and possessed divine envoy-level power, I still believed this war would end in a draw at best. Linghu Mingde and Lin Rui could save Ruifang Pharmaceutical, but they would inevitably suffer heavy losses in the war, and would need to pay a large amount of shares and money to quell the war. After all, judging from their strength on paper, the Pharmaceutical Alliance is simply unmatched. Their private army already has 27 heavy armored divisions."

"I simply cannot comprehend how Lin Rui managed to capture Qi Tianquan's pharmaceutical base near area C342 with only two reinforced regiments. I've been there, and it's like a military fortress. Furthermore, the base's defenses were further strengthened before the battle. It's a shame there's still no video footage available, so I don't know the truth—"

"--Yes, after this war, the structure of the Ninth Base City will undoubtedly undergo tremendous changes. After Linghu Mingde becomes an honorary member of Congress, he will surely play an important role in Congress and the government! The Tianhu Group will surely rise in all aspects, and Ruifang Pharmaceutical will truly gain a firm foothold."

"And Shengxue Medical Group and Xie's Pharmaceutical and Medical Group. These two groups are finished and will definitely be divided up by major companies. I just saw that the stocks of these two companies have already hit the limit down."

"We don't know the outcome of the negotiations between the two parties yet. I predict the pharmaceutical alliance will pay a huge price. Their defeat was truly devastating. If it weren't for government intervention, Linghu Mingde, Lin Rui, and the Sky Blue Group would have easily crushed them."

"As far as I know, the Sky Blue Group already has three heavy armored divisions and six mechanized infantry divisions ready to join the war. As long as the Sky Blue Group has sufficient weapons and funds, they can mobilize five more mechanized infantry divisions from the surrounding farms. The war potential is too great. With Fang Xianzheng's connections, it won't be difficult to invite two or three Ninth Realm Realms to assist."

"A brand new wealthy family is about to emerge in the Ninth Base City. Mr. Lin Rui's Ruifang Pharmaceutical's performance is definitely enough to support a market value of 5000 trillion federal coins. His Forest Group also has a bright future. You wouldn't know it until you investigate, but once you do, you'll be shocked. This Forest Group is quite powerful, already boasting nearly 20 alien walkers, over 6 merchant ships and frigates, and even six destroyers."

"It's important to note that Mr. Lin Rui is also the executive vice chairman of the Bright Front, and the Bright Front's recent election campaign is hot. It's widely predicted that the Bright Front may elect five to eight members of Congress. Mr. Lin Rui himself is also running for Congress. I've noticed that although he hasn't been heavily publicized, his popularity in the polls is very high, and his chances of being elected are very high. This shows that Ruifang Pharmaceutical will become a force that spans both the political and business worlds in the future."

"Mr. Lin Rui is only 19, yet he's already built such a large enterprise and such a powerful influence. I hear he's about to participate in the University Martial Arts League Championship." "Didn't Bernie Fairburn, Chairman of the Ninth City Stock Exchange, just now call on Ruifang Pharmaceutical to quickly initiate its IPO plan? I also hope Mr. Lin Rui can heed Chairman Fairburn's call."

Fang Ranran was watching this with great interest when she noticed that several guests on the political commentary program changed their expressions at the same time.

Their focus shifted, evidently viewing the news projected onto their retinas by their personal terminals.

Fang Ranran's heart moved slightly, and she switched the TV to the news channel.

"An urgent news interruption. A high-ranking government source recently stated that the Security Bureau has determined that Lin Rui is the ruthless 'Children's Song Killer' who has committed numerous major crimes since July of last year. However, the Security Bureau currently has no substantial evidence to incriminate Lin Rui—"

Fang Ranran couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard this.

She knew that this must be the work of Huo Bangguo, and this so-called high-level government source must be someone close to Huo Bangguo.

There is also a problem with the wording used in the news. Why use the word "brutal"?
Lin Rui only killed gangsters and drug traffickers and never hurt ordinary people. How could he be considered cruel?
After this campaign, there will be an examination of the network's wrongdoings.

Don't think that they can do whatever they want just because they have the support of a large media group.

At this time, she received a call from Wang Song, vice chairman of the Bright Front and former member of parliament.

"Chairman! Congratulations to you and Mr. Lin on your brilliant victory, and congratulations to Marshal Linghu on his advancement to the Ninth Realm Emperor."

Fang Ranran heard a caution and respect in Vice Chairman Wang's voice that she had not heard before.

In the past, Wang Song relied on his profound experience and connections in the political arena. In addition, many of the capable people in the Bright Front were recruited by him. Therefore, Wang Song always boasted about his achievements and spoke rudely in front of Fang Ranran. He even had the tendency to establish his own faction within the Bright Front.

Fang Ranran saw that this person was able to understand the overall situation and was relatively cooperative in the election and public affairs, so she remained patient.

However, as soon as this company war ended today, Wang Song changed his attitude and put himself in the right position.

This person called to discuss campaign strategies with Fang Ranran.

They had a complete plan before, but the situation within the Ninth Base City has changed dramatically, and the election strategy must be adjusted accordingly.

Finally, Wang Song mentioned Lin Rui's case: "Chairman, you've seen the news about Mr. Lin, right? Over a dozen news media outlets have called to inquire about Mr. Lin's situation. Since Mr. Lin is a valued member of our Bright Front, the Bright Front must respond to the public on this matter."

Fang Ranran burst out laughing. Wang Song is a veteran in the political arena. How could he not know what to do?
"Vice Chairman Wang, whether Mr. Lin is the Children's Song Killer is his personal matter. However, we at the Bright Front believe that combating gangs and drug trafficking is the federal government's natural obligation, and it concerns the well-being and safety of all citizens of the Ninth Base City. Mr. Lin is willing to invest heavily in our Bright Front because our political platform aligns with his ideals. What do you think?"

Wang Song immediately understood and said with admiration, "I see, Chairman. Then we will respond according to your idea."

At this time, Fang Ranran also stood up. She had to get into work mode.

Linghu Mingde and Lin Rui have already sent her a message asking her to participate in the company negotiations.

Of course, I didn’t go in person to talk, but I provided information and logistical support to these two people.

　No more in the afternoon. I’ve been updating three times a day for several days in a row. I’m tired and will take a break today.
