Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 364

That very afternoon, Lin Rui presided in the main hall of the Bureau of Assassinations until the end of the workday, still unable to completely settle his mind.
Away from his official duties, his thoughts kept drifting to the morning’s events.
“The Abyss?”
Lin Rui looked at his own hands.
As soon as Lin Rui willed it, a layer of bone armor covered his hands instantly.
The enhancement drugs provided by the East Asia Science Academy had promoted Lin Rui’s growth at a phenomenal rate.
His dragon armor could now cover all of his upper body except for his lower back, and its strength and toughness were increasing.
...
Luo Wangshu had not only strengthened his dragon armor further, but also expanded its potential for growth.
The power of Luo Wangshu was very peculiar; it enhanced him in all aspects, including his spirit, martial prowess, True Qi, bloodline, dragon armor, potential, physical condition, and even the Abyssal essence and Abyssal core within him.
The enhancement of just one hour was equivalent to five to six days of Lin Rui’s training, utterly miraculous.
This was especially true in the realm of martial arts, where the improvement was notably significant.
And this prowess was the foundation for mastering the concepts of the Abyss.
If his prowess were strong enough, he could control even more powerful pure concepts and need not worry about the backlash from the true masters of the Abyssal essence within Lin Xi.
He thought to himself that this was truly ‘a deep debt of gratitude to his master’, not knowing how he could ever repay it.
Now, he was unsure how the East Asia side would respond.
Lin Rui felt heavy-hearted; he could actually bypass the government and directly provide Luo Wangshu with some of the things she wanted.
However, Lin Rui’s reason was telling him that this would be an exceedingly foolish action.
“Sir!” standing below the hall, Deputy Commander Sun Shicheng expressed his confusion with a bow, “May I ask if there is any issue with the disposition of several officials from the Ministry of Justice?”
The ‘legal advisor’ standing below, Li Guli, also returned Lin Rui’s gaze with a hint of confusion.
He had already noticed that his junior brother seemed a bit distracted today, frequently zoning out.
“No.” Lin Rui regained his focus, and his lips curled slightly, “The disposition was appropriate.
From the existing evidence, there is a need for detention and interrogation.
It is evident that Deputy Commander Sun handles cases with caution and rigor.”
He clapped the documents in his hand together, “However, so far, I have seen no significant progress from Deputy Commander Sun’s side.
The Divine Envoy has only given us one month, Deputy Commander should continue to work hard.”
Deputy Commander Sun Shicheng’s spirit sank slightly, understanding that Lin Hao was hinting that his actions over the past few days were too minor and lacked results.
The dilemma of being a subordinate is just here; this Lin Hao, he just didn’t know how difficult those old officials in the Ministry are!
It might also be that Lin Hao already had a plan and was deliberately pushing him to the front.
Lin Hao spoke earnestly, “Deputy Commander Sun, you need to learn more from Xing Hai and Tan Xiangsheng.
Look at them, they have achieved notable results.
Xing Hai has arrested 32 officers above the rank of school captain, all with conclusive evidence; Tan Xiangsheng, on the other hand, has already cleansed the entire district of Jingzhao.”
Sun Shicheng remained expressionless, thinking how could the difficulty he faces in the Ministry of Justice be compared to those handling the Imperial Guards and Jingzhao District?
At that moment, Lin Rui once again looked towards a group of people standing behind Sun Shicheng, “The Ninth Prison Warden Xie Yong, The Tenth Prison Warden Pan Dongfan!”
Two persons from the group immediately stepped forward, precisely The Ninth Prison Warden Xie Yong and The Tenth Prison Warden Pan Dongfan.
Although their features varied, both were robust in build and sharp in demeanor.
Both stood before the hall, slightly bowing towards Lin Rui with impassive faces, and the Ninth Prison Warden Xie Yong spoke with a rigid tone, “Both of us are present!
May I know what instructions the Commander has for us?”
At that moment, the entire hall buzzed with surprise, as almost everyone stared at these two in astonishment.
Among them, some people then looked at Lin Rui above with schadenfreude.
It was clear that confrontation was imminent, but it was unknown how this official would handle it.
Sun Shicheng’s expression changed upon seeing this, and he furrowed his brows deeply.
The attitude of these two towards the commander was very defiant and cold, extremely disrespectful.
He soon realized that these two believed they had greatly offended the commander and thought that even if they were to completely submit, Lin Hao would not let them off the hook.
Considering they had the backing of the Emperor and the Prince of Han, and that their superior wouldn’t just stand by, they felt fearless and saw no need to feign respect in front of Lin Hao.
Sun Shicheng initially felt annoyed, as the actions of these two confidants would force him into direct conflict with Lin Hao.
But then, his thoughts shifted rapidly, calming down as he considered that letting these two challenge Lin Hao might not be a bad thing after all.
The Emperor was indeed furious about the Heavenly Demon major case concerning the Luo family estate outside the city, but His Majesty truly cherished the Prince of Han, not less than the Crown Prince.
These two might make Lin Hao suffer a setback and could also test Lin Hao’s capabilities through this incident.
Lin Rui also raised his eyebrows in surprise and then chuckled dismissively, “For the case of the Prince of Han, I had given you a deadline of six days, and now only two days are left.
Take care of yourselves!”
He had originally wanted to inquire about the progress of the Prince of Han’s illegal case, offering them one last chance.
After all, these two were his subordinates, and Lin Rui believed that as their superior, he should show tolerance and magnanimity.
However, it seemed that there was no need for that anymore.

Lin Rui picked up his teacup, “That will be all for today, everyone may leave.”
The wardens from the ninth and tenth prisons, Xie Yong and Pan Dongfan, both had slightly grim expressions.
Then, with casual salutes, they exited the room in a carefree manner.
The two realized that there would inevitably be a fierce battle between them and this commander.
Lin Hao would undoubtedly do everything to take them down in order to maintain his authority, while both of them were deeply connected to the Prince of Han and had no escape.
They also had full confidence that the Prince of Han would definitely fully support them, and the Second Divine Envoy would not sit idly by.
At most, this Lin might issue minor inconveniences to them, depending on if they chose to comply.
The people in the hall watched the two leave with peculiar gazes and then bid their farewell one after another.
After all his subordinates had left, Lin Rui smiled at Li Li, “Mr.
Li, there is something urgent at my estate, so I must leave first.”
Li Li looked at the five-foot-thick pile of documents on Lin Rui’s desk and nodded somewhat helplessly, “With me here, you may go ahead.”
He knew Lin Rui had indeed something important to handle.
That very evening, Lin Rui had to implant two SSS-grade enhancers into his Blood Blade, Ji Xueying.
Additionally, Lin Xi had finally refined her Indestructible Heart Dragon just the day before, which could now receive enhancers.
Reportedly, the first surgery for this war dragon included 3 SSS-grade enhancers, as well as the Type 7 War God nano-enhancement suit and ‘Heavenly Armor’ Type 7 nano sub-dermal armor, both of which were high-end models of Type 7.
Lin Rui’s sister was exceptionally wealthy and willing to spend lavishly on the best models for her war dragon.
These were two major surgeries, which might not even be completed in one night.
But even if Lin Rui had nothing else to do, he would not linger in the office a moment longer than necessary, and if he spent one-fifth of his day handling official duties, it was considered quite good.
The majority of less critical official matters, such as paperwork, were entrusted to Li Li for handling, which was precisely why Li Li had come along.
After bidding farewell to Li Li, Lin Rui rushed home with Ji Xueying, and while on the road, he received a message from Zhou Yunfei.
Zhou Yunfei: “Buddy, are you free to talk right now?
Regarding those controlled item trades you mentioned, the authorities have already made a clear decision.”
Seeing this message, Lin Rui’s spirits lifted, yet he felt secretly apprehensive.
