Chapter 585 Revenge (Subscription Request)

Lin Rui thought that he had indeed been a little lazy recently. Even Li Jianglong, a bystander outside the Imperial City, could see that he was pretending?

Lone Shadow Sky Blade (Lin Rui): Commander, I'm playing both sides. The Purgatory side clearly wants to lure me out of the city and kill me, but they need to show genuine sincerity. How can a mere fragment be enough? It's clearly just scraped off the divine monument to use as bait.

Lone Shadow Heavenly Blade (Lin Rui): If they want me to risk leaving the city, they must produce the real fragments of the divine tablet, not these small replicas.

This was the speech he had prepared long ago. He had used these words before to fool his good friend Han Baxian.

Li Jianglong: I see. Is that what you think? That sounds reasonable.

Li Jianglong: What a playful attitude! You really can't act too concerned. Next, you should act according to this policy. I will help you keep an eye on them.

At this time, Li Jianglong was in Zhou Yunfei's office in the 9th Branch.

Before receiving Lin Rui's message, Li Jianglong was talking to Zhou Yunfei about the second commander-in-chief.

"Ling Xuan is about to be resurrected? By then, there was no trace of his soul left, completely destroyed, right?"

Zhou Yunfei looked skeptical and uncertain: "Can they be resurrected like this? If so, it would be a huge problem for the Federation."

"I'm not sure! From what Carlton said, Linghuan uploaded his memories and thoughts to a supercomputer. Furthermore, they somehow managed to lure Linghuan's spirit down from such a chaotic sky. It might also be related to Linghuan's alien form, which bears the imprint of Linghuan's own spirit."

Li Jianglong held his chin with his hand. "For us martial artists above the Ninth Realm Super Emperor, alien bodies are no longer our weakness. Instead, they are the foundation of our survival. As long as we can save one of the two bodies, there is hope for resurrection. However, this shows that the Shenzhao Army has also conducted in-depth research on the soul. Unfortunately—"

Li Jianglong sighed inexplicably and then turned his attention to the video projection in front of him. "Don't worry about the resurrection of the spirit for now. The real trouble is with your old superior. The situation is very bad, very bad!"

The immortality plan that the Second Commander-in-Chief was involved in had indeed gone awry! As a result, he had been in a deep sleep for nearly nine months and still hadn't woken up.

The video that Zhou Yunfei is projecting now is an image formed by the Central Asian Academy of Sciences using special technology to capture the brain waves of the second commander-in-chief.

Li Jianglong must lend a helping hand to the second commander-in-chief.

Although this person would occasionally clash with him and fight against him within the Security Bureau, Li Jianglong knew that this person had no selfish motives and just had different opinions on some things.

This is his opponent and also a true mentor and friend.

Li Jianglong didn't want the Security Bureau to be infiltrated by external forces, causing further turmoil within the Security Bureau.

Therefore, for both public and private reasons, he must bring the second commander back as soon as possible.

Zhou Yunfei's face turned pale. "The East Asian Academy of Sciences said that if we want to extract the Second Marshal's spirit, we have to do it as soon as possible."

"I know." Li Jianglong rubbed his forehead in pain.

The matters of the Abyss Divine Monument, Linghuan, the Second Commander-in-Chief, and the White Wolf of the Star Sea, Zang Shaochen, all these things piled up and gave him an immense headache.

It’s a pity that Linghu Mingde has retired from the army, and he has been away from the core of power for too long, and his current strength has not reached its peak.

Otherwise, Li Jianglong would have gone all out to push Linghu Mingde up to the position of commander-in-chief of the second star fleet and prevent Zang Shaochen from being proud.

※※※※

At the same time, on the south side of the Ninth Base City, the newly built 'Kang Mingkai Law Firm' was brightly lit.

The newly hired lawyers and trainee employees in the firm all had rosy faces and worked overtime with excitement.

They are helping the firm's major clients, Forest Group and Ruifang Pharmaceutical, to handle various legal procedures for asset transfer and prepare for the subsequent asset audit.

Since the firm was newly established and understaffed, each of them was burdened with several heavy tasks and was extremely busy. However, this did not affect their enthusiasm at all, because their big client promised them a generous bonus, which was enough to allow them to live a comfortable life for the next few decades.

In the office of the law firm's founder, Radford Kovrig's face was also beaming. He was on the phone with a former colleague, his face full of sneer. "Come on, Mr. Layburn, given the current situation, how can I possibly return to Zijinhua Law Firm? Stop with this meaningless talk. I'm too lazy to listen."

Kang Mingkai was filled with relief.

Although he resigned from Zijinhua Law Firm more than ten days ago due to being ostracized and forced by his colleagues, it was fortunate that he made the best choice in his life.

What Kang Mingkai thought at the time was that he had to abide by professional ethics no matter what and not ruin his reputation in the industry.

As long as your reputation remains, even if you are temporarily excluded, suppressed, and downtrodden, you will sooner or later have the opportunity to rise again.

But if your reputation is damaged due to the oppression of major companies, then your future will definitely go downhill.

It was this choice that brought him the greatest opportunity in his life.

"How can I possibly give up the business with the Alexander Group and the Han Group? Their termination of cooperation with Zijinhua Law Firm is your fault. I told you before that succumbing to the pressure from the pharmaceutical alliance will only bring temporary benefits, but will permanently damage Zijinhua Law Firm's reputation."

In essence, the 27 hospitals, 2327 plastic surgery clinics, 12120 pharmacies of the Xie Pharmaceutical and Medical Group, and the 24323 stores of the Tianquan Pharmacy chain, plus the 12 hospitals, 3000 plastic surgery clinics, and 8321 pharmacies of the Shengxue Medical Group have all been transferred to Mr. Lin today.

——This is a very large drug distribution network, covering almost all districts of 14 urban bases, which has formed a strong deterrent and influence on many pharmaceutical companies.

In short, their balls were pinched.

What can be said about Mr. Lin? He's a bit vindictive. Since Zijinhua had terminated his contract and refused his business before the incident, Mr. Lin naturally wouldn't be polite with them.

So Mr. Lin only needed to make one phone call, and these seven companies, with a total market value of 300 to 500 billion yuan and which were heavily dependent on the three sales channels under Mr. Lin, contacted him late at night without hesitation, preparing to transfer the company's legal business to his law firm, in this way showing their closeness and obedience to Mr. Lin.

Kang Mingkai looked at the pale face of his former colleague in the video with a leisurely expression. "Mr. Layburn, are you still planning to stay at Bauhinia Law Firm? This law firm will be doomed sooner or later. Mr. Layburn, you are a senior criminal lawyer. There is no need to die with Bauhinia Law Firm. You know that we are about to face a fierce legal battle and need some experienced people. Mr. Layburn, if you are willing to bring your clients here, I can make you a senior partner of our law firm directly."

Layburn's expression in the video changed slightly.

He knew about the legal battles faced by Kang Mingkai's law firm. First, there was the connection between Lin Rui and the nursery rhyme killer; second, there was the corporate war launched within the Ninth Base City, which resulted in the casualties of a large number of National Guardsmen and the deaths of several reserve marshals.

Lin Rui is not like Linghu Mingde, whose past crimes can be wiped out after he is sworn in as an honorary member of Congress.

The Federal Department of Justice will definitely launch an all-out attack on Lin Rui.

However, Layburn knew that the Department of Justice had little chance of winning. First of all, all the evidence collected by the Security Bureau during its investigation into the Nursery Rhyme Killer had disappeared, and there was no video footage left of the corporate war in area C342.

Even if the Ministry of Justice has enough evidence of guilt, Kang Mingkai can still delay through various means until Lin Rui is promoted to the ninth level.

And even if something happens to Lin Rui, Kang Mingkai still has Linghu Mingde to rely on.

"I'll think about it." He said this and ended the communication.

Kang Mingkai shook his head. At this moment, he suddenly saw that someone had sent him a new message. It was his secretary reminding him to read the news.

Kang Mingkai immediately turned on the 3D projection TV opposite his desk.

"—Now, urgent news! The Federal Security Bureau has uncovered a major espionage case. They launched Operation Thunder Sweep early this morning, arresting 321 alien beings from Tianji Star. Among them are three high-ranking officials at the level of minister and vice-minister of the municipal government, and 27 Dragon Transformation-level masters."

"It's said that this 'Thunder Sweeping' operation was initiated under the guidance of the mayor of Huobang Country, with great assistance from the city government—"

"The spy network uncovered this time is also incredibly large. We currently have conclusive evidence linking these Tianjixing spies to the twelve terrorist incidents that occurred in the Ninth Base City this year. Before the Security Bureau launched its operation, they were even planning a plan called 'Despair and Pain', intended to destroy the entire Ninth Base City."

Kang Mingkai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, thinking that tonight was really lively.

He then shook his head. Mayor Huo was really lucky. The incident of uncovering the Tianji alien spy network could somewhat save his election prospects.
