Chapter 496: Chapter 469: Newcomer (Please Subscribe) Chapter 496: Chapter 469: Newcomer (Please Subscribe) “This is Jin Bolong’s braintrust, the independent director of Jinhao Real Estate Group, Lu Hanyuan.”
Fang Ranran looked at Lu Hanyuan, who was sleeping in the Sleeping Cabin, with a contemplative expression in her eyes.
“My father-in-law captured this man on the battlefield and said the Linghu Family definitely couldn’t make him serve wholeheartedly.
But he believed you could, Lin Rui.
He said this was his chance and good fortune.”
But why did Linghu Mingde value Lin Rui so much?
To help Lin Rui gain control of this man, he went to such great lengths!
Moreover, she didn’t think it would work out—Lu Hanyuan wouldn’t serve the Linghu Family wholeheartedly, and definitely not Lin Rui.
...
In the future, Lin Rui could at most use this man as a bodyguard.
While watching, Fang Ranran took out a Life Tie Book made of jade and gold and handed it to Lin Rui, “This is a ‘Life Tie Book’ created by a Ninth Realm Emperor mage at my grandfather’s request.
It binds Lu Hanyuan’s life to this book.
Furthermore, Lu Hanyuan’s Mecha Dragon and his family are also in my grandfather’s hands.
You can take over from here and see how you want to arrange for them.”
“Old sir is thoughtful indeed!” Lin Rui’s eyes lit up with surprise as he took the book from Fang Ranran’s hands, “Ranran, you must thank Elder Linghu for me.”
He thought this Lu Hanyuan was definitely worth Linghu Mingde’s medical fees.
This man was of Eighth Realms Emperor Rank, very strong in combat, and played a significant role during Jin Bolong’s rise.
The trading company under Jin Bolong, in its early days, was managed single-handedly by Lu Hanyuan, who later, whenJinhao trading company was gaining momentum, was transferred to Jinhao Real Estate Group to oversee financial supervision and management.
It is said that he is very skilled in capital operations and has deep connections in the financial sector.
The ships of Jinhao trading company in the early years were all built low-interest fronted by the bank, due to the cooperation Lu Hanyuan established with shipyards and banks.
During his time as the independent director of Jinhao Real Estate Group, he also helped Jin Bolong complete several key asset acquisitions.
Fang Ranran’s face turned slightly red.
She remembered a phrase Linghu Mingde told her before coming, “If Xiao Rui likes this gift, have him take you to a movie or go shopping with you, that’ll be the old man’s return gift.”
Fang Ranran thought to herself, her grandpa must be crazy.
What was he thinking?
As if she couldn’t get married.
She shook her head and looked at Lu Hanyuan, who kept his eyes shut inside the Sleeping Cabin, “Mr.
Lu, I know you are awake.
This is your new employer, the owner of your ‘Life Tie Book.’ Shouldn’t you say something?”
Lu Hanyuan indeed was awake, the effects of the anesthetic had worn off half an hour earlier.
He sighed softly upon hearing this and looked at Lin Rui with complex thoughts.
Is this the person he must serve from now on?
Lu Hanyuan was aware of this Lin Rui due to the matters concerning Jin Tianchen; the Jinhao Group had investigated this young man’s background and affiliations.
He was a young man with almost no background, yet with great potential and talent; he had also made some money in the futures market, but his foundations were still too weak.
In an era where the strong thrive and social wealth is monopolized by the Congressional Honorary Members, it won’t be easy for Lin Rui to make a name for himself.
Even if he had gained the favor of Linghu Mingde and had an ambiguous relationship with Fang Ranran, Lu Hanyuan still wasn’t optimistic.
How much longer could Linghu Mingde even live?
How far could he support Lin Rui?
However, Lu Hanyuan had risen alongside Jin Bolong to nearly the pinnacle of the Earth Federation, never seen the highest sceneries in the federation, but he knew what it was like up there.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Hanyuan would never lower his dignity to serve Lin Rui.
A small pond like this couldn’t contain a big fish like him.
But Lu Hanyuan was helpless; not only was his life bound to Lin Rui’s hands now, but his family’s future was also controlled by him.
Lin Rui saw that Lu Hanyuan kept a stoic and silent expression within the Sleeping Cabin, but he didn’t mind, saying, “It seems Mr.
Lu is unable to accept this for the moment, which I can understand.
Hengdao, take Mr.
Lu to change his clothes, tailor an ‘Emperor’ type 8 Battle Armor for him, SSS+ grade, and have it delivered ASAP.
Also, Mr.
Lu, please stay by my side as a guard these days.”
Even though Lu Hanyuan was resistant towards his new employer, his loyalty was not in question—there was no worry of being backstabbed by him.
Lin Rui was cold and merciless towards his enemies, but he was gentle and generous to subordinates like Lu Hanyuan who had sold him their lives.
After all, even cattle and livestock have temperaments; a leader should be more tolerant.
Fang Ranran then looked at him, her cheeks flushed pink and her expression one of hesitance, which puzzled Lin Rui.
Considering their relationship, what could they possibly not talk about?
Lin Rui curiously asked, “Senior, what is it that you want to say?
Is there something troubling you?
Don’t worry, just speak up.
If I can do it, I will undoubtedly do my best to help you.”
Fang Ranran thought to herself that the thing she wanted to say was indeed something Lin Rui could handle very well, but she just couldn’t bring herself to say it!
She was perplexed; she usually considered herself open-minded and generous, so why did she become more reserved and useless than those young girls when it came to this matter?
And why should she be the one to extend the invitation?
“It’s nothing!” Fang Ranran turned her head towards the window, “Have your smart drive system stop the car, I want to get out.”
Lin Rui’s expression grew even more puzzled, although he sensed something was wrong, he still called for the service car’s smart drive system to stop.
Fang Ranran then glared at Lin Rui and stomped on his foot fiercely before huffing and getting out of the car.
Wang Sen had also followed them today but had remained silent.
Now, he looked at Lin Rui with a schadenfreude expression, “Senior seems angry, Rui, you shouldn’t have stopped the car and let her get off.”
Lin Rui realized his mistake as he reflected on Fang Ranran’s expressions, awakening to the foolishness of his actions.
He turned his head and glared at Wang Sen, “Shut up!
You’re being Captain Hindsight, why didn’t you send me a private message to remind me just now?”
Wang Sen couldn’t help but scratch his face, wondering how he hadn’t realized earlier that Ranran really had feelings for Lin Rui and was even intending to pursue him.
Back at the Martial Arts Club, Nolan Wei and the others always speculated about some kind of connection between Fang Ranran and Lin Rui, perhaps even a hookup, but he, as an insider, had firmly denied it and scoffed at the idea.
Now, it seemed Wang Sen had been short-sighted.
However, thinking back, the two did seem quite well-matched.
Lin Rui leaned out of the window and saw Fang Ranran getting into another car, understanding that there was no way to salvage the situation today.
Nonetheless, he could prepare carefully next time they were both free and invite Fang Ranran out to apologize.
But recently, he really wasn’t in the mood.
He shook his head, “Let’s go back now!”
After a short while, Lin Rui’s convoy returned to the expansive Lin Family mansion.
The grounds of his large villa had expanded to 20,000 square meters, and correspondingly, its underground space had also been greatly expanded.
By this time, Lu Hanyuan had already changed his clothes and was following Lin Rui into his secret base.
He walked beside Lin Rui, examining the complex and vast underground facility with stringent defense systems, his face expressionless.
Back at Jin Family Manor’s underground, there was also a secret underground base, one even more colossal and secure.
After a short while, Lin Rui led Lu Hanyuan to the bottom layer of the base where the armament maintenance warehouse was located.
He was here to find a girl named Hidden Moon, also known as Lin Yi’s assassin partner ‘Dark Moon’, the girl they had taken from the Divine Light Army base.
Lin Rui had been busy these last few days and hadn’t had the chance to check on this girl, but now he needed to personally come and discuss her future plans.
As the doors of the armament warehouse opened, Lu Hanyuan’s pupils abruptly contracted.
Inside this approximately 5,000 square meter maintenance warehouse, there were 8 units of Red Spider Type 7, 4 units of Dragon Slayer Type 7, along with 36 units of Red Spider Type 6, and 12 units of Dragon Slayer Type 6.
Nearly half of the combat robots had visibly been enhanced and remodeled using the rune technology of Sky Extreme Star, covered with enigmatic and divine runes on their surfaces; all of the combat robots were enveloped in a dim golden spiritual glow.
Lu Hanyuan was secretly startled; those modified combat robots had clearly undergone SS-level rune enhancement!

The mechanical power under Mr.
Lin’s command, was it really so strong?
Lu Hanyuan also noticed two young girls sitting on a combat robot, hammering and carving with chisels, one of them was Lin Rui’s sister, Lin Xi; the other had a round face and a plump figure, both meticulously carving runes on the robot’s internal components.
In addition, there were dozens of agile mechanical arms assisting them.
There was also a handsome, high-nosed middle-aged man standing nearby, working on engraving arrays on an armor plate.
Lu Hanyuan recognized this person—he was called Wang Tianwu, a follower of Ling Huan, a very powerful mage and illusionist who was probably recently employed by Lin Rui as his bodyguard.
It was still unknown whether this was a short-term or long-term contract.
Jinhao Group’s Intelligence Division analyzed that the former was more likely since this man was famously averse to constraints and liked working solo.
Wang Tianwu also squinted his eyes and glanced back at Lu Hanyuan.
His eyes contained deep hostility.
Just now, in the group chat, Gong Hengdao mentioned this new colleague, and Wang Tianwu immediately realized that his biggest rival in the workplace had arrived.
—This person’s cultivation and bloodline were Eighth Realm Emperor, and he had very rich management and business experience.
Wang Tianwu was pondering how to secure a management position under his own small Abyss Boss, especially since it seemed from the situation at the secret base of the Divine Light Army that his boss’s future was quite promising.
Then came Lu Hanyuan—
Wang Tianwu realized he could no longer delay and had to make a choice, he looked up and said, “Boss, you’ve arrived, I was just looking for you about my employment contract issues.
I’d like to change it to take stock options like Fei Yunlai, the contract term can be three hundred years, four hundred years, or even for life, as long as the stock incentives can be increased.”
Wang Tianwu thought that since he had seen Lin Rui’s core secrets, did he have any other choice?
200 years later, if he dared say he wanted to leave, he would probably be silenced, so it was better to secure advantages upfront.
Lin Rui and Lu Hanyuan, hearing this, both looked at Wang Tianwu in surprise.
Lu Hanyuan thought this guy must be crazy; Lin Rui was just a promising university Martial Arts Star, and Wang Tianwu was willing to sign a lifelong contract and completely tie his future to a Fifth Realm Martial Cultivator?
He must have water in his brain!
Definitely!
