Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 285 - 270: A Turn of Events (Please Subscribe)
Lin Rui looked at the spray bottle again, carefully examining the ingredient list on the packaging, "Is this spray really that popular? How popular is it?"
Xue Lingxue felt Lin Rui’s tone was off and cautiously answered, "This medicine started being distributed half a year ago, but it only really got popular in the past two months. Many people in the patient groups I used to join recommended it, and some people around me use it."
Lin Rui’s furrowed brows finally relaxed a little.
Only gained popularity in the past two months? Then the situation isn’t so bad.
Gong Hengdao also said, "It was in the middle of May this year when old Xue recommended this Lingyun spray to us. He’s the standing director of the ’Heavenly Soldier Brigade Veterans Association,’ and has always been very caring towards us comrades who suffer from Prosthesis Syndrome. However, at the end of May, he sent a message in the group saying that the medicine might have some side effects and to stop using it for the time being. But I feel that this medicine is really helpful for me, and I can’t stop."
Lin Rui had heard of the ’Heavenly Soldier Brigade,’ the most powerful special response force of the Earth Federation, mainly composed of East Asians and full of elite Martial Cultivators with prosthesis.
Lin Rui thought to himself that Xue Bogao originally had such a background? It seemed that his abilities weren’t solely from the Security Bureau.
Xue Bogao could become the standing director of the veterans association, which showed his comrades’ high trust and esteem for him,
The Heavenly Soldier Brigade Veterans Association was no ordinary organization; it had countless high-ranking prosthesis users.
"I understand," Lin Rui said as he tossed the spray bottle in his hand directly into the trash can, "You shouldn’t use this medicine anymore. It’s nothing good. Using it for more than six months is very troublesome. Also, Mr. Gong, regarding the question from before, you know what I mean, right?"
Gong Hengdao looked at the spray bottle with startled suspicion, then nodded his head, "I understand, Lingxue mentioned it to me when she asked me to come here, about signing a contract with your Heteromorphic Studio, right? As long as you are confident you can improve my condition, I can accept it. I don’t have money, and it’s only right to work for you. But I must have the proper benefits. My martial arts rating is 6SS+, firearms rating SSS, I’m proficient in sniping and close combat, and you won’t be disappointed by my combat abilities,
"Lingxue also told me that I might have to do some dirty work for you in the future, which is no problem. As long as it’s not too much against conscience, I can do any dirty work."
He had been bankrupt for three years, always lingering in the underground mercenary world, having seen every kind of darkness.
And the friend of Lingxue, no matter how dark, couldn’t be that bad.
Lin Rui was very satisfied and gestured to Xue Lingxue to project a document, "Mr. Gong, rest assured. You are an SS-rated Major General expert, our studio will definitely offer you the corresponding treatment. I will also provide you with medicine and treatment costs at cost price. Your salary should still have surplus. This is the employment contract we have prepared for you. You can take a look."
Gong Hengdao, after receiving the electronic employment contract, looked quite surprised, thinking that this future boss was very confident in his medical skills to have prepared the employment contract in advance.
He glanced over it briefly and found that this boss was quite generous. The salary and benefits were much better than other companies, and there was a commission for every mission. Of course, it couldn’t compare with those on the dark web, nor those mercenary websites.
The strength of this employment contract lay in its stability, and there was hope of staying alive.
Gong Hengdao did not hesitate to sign the electronic contract.
Gong Hengdao was not at all worried that Lin Rui would cheat him as he was not far from death and had nothing to lose anyway.
If Lin Rui couldn’t keep him alive, then the only thing signed today would be for a dead man, meaningless.
Gong Hengdao felt hopeful, could this young man really keep him alive?

When they returned, it was also by a taxi from Ambola Company.
"Lingxue, arrange a better underground clinic immediately, get Gong Hengdao a full body checkup. I need more detailed data on his body, the more detailed the better, it’s more convenient for adjusting medication,"
Lin Rui said while sitting in the passenger seat, and at the same time, he opened the official website of Sky Blue Group’s Sky Blue Pharmaceutical Company to reserve various medicines for Gong Hengdao.
Gong Hengdao’s condition was rather complicated, and couldn’t be solved with medicine tea.
Lin Rui had to use advanced alchemy techniques, mixing some modern Western medicines from the Federation with medicines from Tianji Star, and refine them into medical pills for Gong Hengdao to take according to specific procedures.
He also had to buy a ’Automatic Acupuncture Machine’ and preset the parameters before sending it to Gong Hengdao.
The prosthesis and mental mutations in Gong Hengdao’s body also needed to be improved and corrected with the Acupuncture Healing Technique from Tianji Star.
Lin Rui didn’t have time to perform the Acupuncture Healing Technique on Gong Hengdao, but fortunately, with the advanced technology of the Earth Federation, there were even things like automatic acupuncture machines that could not only set parameters in advance but also be remotely controlled.
"Got it, BOSS. I’ll arrange it immediately,"
Xue Lingxue was frowning, "BOSS, is there a problem with that Lingyun spray?"
Since Lin Rui had thrown the spray bottle into the trash can, Xue Lingxue had been very concerned about the matter.
"Speaking of that, let’s talk in the work group,"
Lin Rui opened the virtual conference room in the Security Bureau Work Group 2.
Currently, there were only four people in the group, Lin Rui, Xue Lingxue, Zhang Long, and the hacker ’Chaser.’
Lin Rui glanced at his sister’s avatar.

Lin Xi really gave him a huge surprise the other day.
After the battle at Tianxiang River, Lin Rui finally saw Lin Xi’s "Indomitable Heart Dragon" in the Zhou family’s cellar.
The dragon was indeed alive, and it was above the rank of an emperor!
How long had this girl been on Tianji Star, and she had already mastered a dragon!
While Lin Rui was still accumulating Soul Power points to exchange for an Emperor Flame War Dragon, Lin Xi already had a 6th realm super-emperor war dragon.
After Lin Rui @’ed everyone, Zhang Long and Lin Xi’s projections appeared in the meeting room.
Lin Xi’s avatar was a cloud of dark fog, and her projected figure was as indistinct as her avatar.
Zhang Long was frowning slightly, "Colonel, I’m driving to the port to investigate a case, may I ask what’s the matter?"
He was very busy at the moment, as the Third Special Action Section had already arrested fifty to sixty people, all of whom were currently being interrogated,
Next, they had to go through the prosecution process and convict them one by one; there was plenty to keep him busy.
Lin Rui stared at him expressionlessly, "How is that smuggling case going inside the section?"
"Not so good."
Zhang Long didn’t look down upon Lin Rui, as someone who could climb to the position of Commander of the Spy Agency in just a few months was definitely not to be underestimated.
He reported thoroughly, "We’ve only caught some small fry, these people are just scapegoats, they confessed readily, cleaning the real big fish completely. However, we’re not in a hurry to close the case, we’ll drag it out as long as we can. I’ve asked Elder Zhou, he’s not in a hurry either."
Lin Rui nodded slightly; as long as the case was not closed, they could use it to effectively restrain certain people in the Ninth Base City.
"Then let’s put this smuggling case aside, play for time, and don’t worry about pressure from above."

In the meeting room, Lin Rui projected the packaging of "Soul Charm Spray": "Let’s shift our investigative focus. Regarding Xue Bogao’s assassination case, I’ve found a new direction for the investigation."
Sitting in the taxi driver’s seat, Xue Lingxue couldn’t help but tremble.
Could this Soul Charm Spray be related to her father?
If it weren’t for the auto-driving system’s timely intervention, the luxury business flyer vehicle they were riding in would have almost lost control and crashed into the wall.
Zhang Long also looked surprised, "Soul Charm? I’ve seen people using it recently. Is there something wrong with this drug?"
"The problem is significant. There is a drug ingredient called ’Heartbreak Grass’ in this spray."
Seeing the puzzled looks on Xue Lingxue and Zhang Long’s faces, Lin Rui explained further, "This is a plant from Tianji Star, which was used as a medication to suppress demonic transformations 7,000 years ago. With ’Heartbreak Grass’ as the main ingredient, the prescription was once popular. However, as the people of Tianji Star later discovered, the drug was highly addictive and risked further demonic transformations of the mind and flesh, so its use was gradually discontinued.
This drug is very obscure, and not many people on Tianji Star know about it now. Only some ancient sects and elites hold the secret formulas, using it to control demonic cultivators and demons. I’ve encountered it before; when I was in Silvermoon County, the Zhu family cousins used this drug to control a large number of demonic cultivators. I don’t know how this drug passed the review to go on the market, but it is clearly problematic."
The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became tense, and even Lin Xi showed a look of surprise in her eyes.
Zhang Long’s expression changed slightly, "Colonel, are you sure? Do you also have expertise in drugs?"
Xue Lingxue clenched her fists tightly, making a ’crackling’ sound, "Uncle Zhang, the BOSS is a disciple of his father and Professor Sima, his medical skills are very sophisticated. Also, my father had recommended ’Soul Charm’ to many old comrades-in-arms in May this year. He notified them at the end of May that there was a problem with the medicine. Additionally, five days before the incident, my father had visited Calron Pharmaceutical Testing Co., Ltd."
Xue Lingxue could recite all her father’s activities and whereabouts before the incident from memory.
Zhang Long pondered, "After I restarted the investigation of this case, I also checked out Calron Company. The company went bankrupt four months ago, and the owner emigrated to Xianju 5 Star. I didn’t think much of it at the time."
Lin Rui’s demeanor remained calm, "I just did a quick check on our security bureau’s internal intelligence database. Three drug inspectors from Calron Pharmaceutical Testing Co., Ltd. were hired to participate in an internal investigation commission for the security bureau the day before Xue Bogao’s incident. They died during the mission, and because it involved the security bureau, this information was encrypted to SS-level clearance, which coincidentally is something you, Elder Zhang, can’t see."
Zhang Long’s eyes gradually heated up, realizing there must be a problem.
"Anyway, start by checking it out, and at the same time, secretly commission two to three authoritative professional organizations to identify the drug components."
Lin Rui’s expression remained neutral, "Even if this matter is unrelated to Xue Bogao, it’s still a major case threatening social stability and the lives of citizens."
Zhang Long was just about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, his body jerked backward, and a sharp gunshot rang out in the virtual meeting room.
The expressions of several people participating in the virtual meeting changed.
Xue Lingxue leaned forward slightly, "Uncle Zhang, how are you now?"
"I’m fine!" Zhang Long’s body was once again projected into the virtual meeting room, "It was a sniper, very powerful. If not for my implanted ’Divine Metal Skull,’ I would have almost been killed this time. It seems that someone is very unhappy with the cases we are investigating."
As he spoke, he pointed to his forehead, where there was a bullet dent.
