Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 575 - 548: The Answer (Please Subscribe)
Chapter 575: Chapter 548: The Answer (Please Subscribe)
At this moment, Lin Rui, standing in front of his villa, was smiling and shaking hands with Radford Comming who had just given him a ride home.
“Thank you so much for this time; seeing their fierce and malevolent looks, I thought I was really going to spend the night in the police station.”
Hearing this, Kang Mingkai laughed heartily: “Mr. Lin, you must be joking. The police had no evidence against you. To suspect you based on your conflict of interest with Alta Devonshill was utterly absurd. Plus, you are a public figure and a top martial arts star; how could they risk detaining you and provoke a media storm?”
After sitting down opposite Lin Rui, Kang Mingkai’s eyes flashed with a different kind of light: “Moreover, as far as I know, the police don’t have much support in the judiciary.”
The truth is, after the death of Alta Devonshill, the pressure his backers exerted on the judiciary was far less than what Kang Mingkai had imagined.
Kang Mingkai, through his own network, probed the situation and discovered that several biopharmaceutical companies seemed to be in trouble.
...
This indicated that Lin Rui’s background and power were very profound, giving him an air of unfathomable depth.

Even facing the consortium of these large pharmaceutical companies, he seemed capable of holding his ground.
Especially since the incident of Alta Devonshill being hanged on a flagpole had given the upper echelons of Ninth Base City society a severe shock, an unparalleled impact.
On this day, everyone knew that in Ninth Base City, a powerful and ruthless financial conglomerate had emerged!
And the owner of this conglomerate was this young man before him, rumored to have only reached the Fourth Realm.
“Maybe? But I know, Kang, that you paid a heavy price to get to the police station in time.”
Lin Rui chuckled lightly, “I heard you had quite a fallout with several senior partners at your law firm just before you left?”
“Yes, there were some minor disagreements between us, indeed some obstacles were overcome,” Kang Mingkai answered cautiously, his heart stirring once again, thinking how well-informed Lin Rui was.
This had just happened, and yet Lin Rui was already aware of it.
His expression solemn and serious, he declared: “Mr. Lin, rest assured, I know who my clients are and what I should do!”
Currently, Fang Ranran and Lin Rui were his main clients, and they were also the reason he could become a senior partner at Purple Gold Flower Law Firm.
He had to protect his clients’ interests, even if it meant clashing with some partners at the law firm.
Lin Rui was very satisfied; he liked partners who could clearly discern priorities, and Ranran had been very perceptive in supporting Kang.
He patted Kang Mingkai on the shoulder: “Kang, don’t worry. If you’re not happy at Purple Gold Flower, you can consider going independent. Our Forest Group, Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals, and Bright Front will certainly provide you with the strongest financial support. Also, I hope you can keep an eye on the judiciary for me.”
He then instructed Gong Hengdao standing beside him: “Arrange a team to escort Mr. Kang Mingkai back. My Lin Rui Studio can allocate two 5S teams and two type VI combat robots dedicated to Mr. Kang Mingkai’s security.”
After hearing this, Kang Mingkai was incredibly flattered; Lin Rui’s resources were so strong that he could allocate two 5S-level combat units just for him?
As Kang Mingkai got back into his luxurious official car, he was still lost in thought about Lin Rui’s words.
To go independent from Purple Gold Flower Law Firm?
From the tone of his employer, it was clear he was being encouraged and even expected to do so.
Kang Mingkai had not seriously considered this before, viewing it as a last resort. Now, he couldn’t help but think it over carefully.
He felt it was a huge risk; although today he had indeed felt immense pressure inside the law firm, with several senior partners banding together against him for their clients, yet to go independent now seemed a gamble fraught with great risk.
However, those corporate alliances will not let things go easily, and in today’s Federation, every company and financial consortium with a valuation of two trillion is born out of turbulence and bloodshed.
Above that, the level of ten trillion represents yet another magnitude.
Can Lin Rui withstand their joint attack? Can he secure his position in Ninth Base City?
Lin Rui walked into the villa and received another call from Fang Ranran.
“I have already contacted Divine Transport and Dongfeng Logistics, two top interstellar logistics companies in East Asia. They are willing to transport our cargo at a slightly higher price than the market rate. They are not influenced by the major corporations and are not afraid of the Star Chain Pirate Group.
I have also stabilized the situation inside the Bright Front. Their morale is still stable. I must say, the effect of your flag-raising was successful! Even those within the party who were uneasy are now quiet, waiting to see how the situation unfolds.”
Lin Rui raised his eyebrows: “Oh? That sounds quite promising; I thought there would be some who would rebel this time.”
“How could that be? With my father’s influence pressing down on them, even if they wanted to rebel, they’d have to wait until my father can no longer control the situation.”
Fang Ranran spoke with disdain: “Besides, the reason they joined the Bright Front was for the campaign funds and various resources we provide. If they could find better elsewhere, why would they join this new political party under our banner?
Those pharmaceutical companies all have politicians they trust. Even if they defect now, the support they’d receive wouldn’t match what they have now. Don’t worry, these people are shrewd; they see things very clearly.”
“Ranran, it’s good you’re confident, but I think it’s best to have a contingency plan in case the worst scenario occurs.”
Lin Rui paused, then spoke: “Also, I just checked the situation of Zhirui Pharmaceutical Company at the police station. The several drugs they’re developing are quite good. By slightly modifying some auxiliary drugs without changing the main components, we can increase the drug efficacy by 30% to 60%. This will further enrich our product line and increase profits. So, Ranran, see if you can contact the banks in East Asia to spend two or three hundred billion federal coins to acquire this company.”
Obtaining a government-granted production and sales license for a new drug is very difficult, generally requiring five to seven years and extensive clinical trials.
Previously, Fang Ranran helped the company obtain sales licenses for products like ‘Minor Solar Pill’ by taking the health supplements route.
Given the current targeting of Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals by the major pharmaceutical companies, obtaining new drug licenses would be even more challenging. Instead, it might be better to pursue drug modification.
“Two or three hundred billion? Why spend so much? The market value of Zhirui Pharmaceutical Company is propped up by those three retired Marshals. Without them, the company is worthless. A full acquisition isn’t cost-effective and would face significant resistance. Send me the drugs you’re interested in, and I’ll try to secure the patents and production licenses for those drugs for our company.”
Fang Ranran paused, her tone becoming serious: “Lin Rui, I want to know if your Alien is the Spy Detection Bureau Commander Lin Hao from Great Song?”
Lin Rui was not surprised by her question.
He had decided to leverage Lin Hao and go all out against these pharmaceutical companies; Lin Rui knew Fang Ranran would ask this.
His lips slightly curved: “Ranran, don’t you already have the answer?”
In truth, he could still keep it a secret. Named ‘Primordial Heavenly Dragon’ by Lin Rui, this Fake X-level Battle Dragon provided his greatest confidence.
Lin Rui knew that sooner or later, the enemy would notice his economic link with Lin Hao and would uncover the identities of people like Fei Yunlai, Gong Hengdao, and Wang Tianwu.
Thus, rather than obscure this and raise more suspicions, it was better to confirm the alliance between him and Lin Hao.
He had to create the impression for the external world that he, Lin Rui, is the covert representative and spokesman of Great Song’s Hidden Crown Prince Lin Hao within the Earth Federation.
Once Lin Rui and Lin Hao used different Battle Dragons, this should sufficiently protect their identities from being associated with each other by the enemies.
Meanwhile, at the Bright Front’s campaign headquarters, Fang Ranran couldn’t help but gasp, followed by a grinding of her teeth.
—This guy, he really is Lin Hao!
He actually became the Hidden Crown Prince of Great Song in less than a year!
