Chapter 220 Plot to Assassinate (Subscribe Requested)
After Lin Rui had transferred the money to Wang Sen, he started to clean up his chat system, quickly responding to those who deserved replies and blocking all the advertisements.
Lin Rui noticed that Fei Yunlai had sent him another message.
Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): Lin Rui, my biochip is ready. When are you free to implant it for me?
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): How about tomorrow? Aren't you looking to re-implant a Type-7 nano-combat enhancement system? If there are other implants you need, let's do them all at once to avoid any hassle.
Though his public duties had lessened in the coming months, he still needed to be frugal with his time.
Lin Rui planned to intensely train himself before heading to the capital.
His counterpart on Tianji Star no longer faced any imminent crises, and the external environment had improved - it was time to solidify his foundation!
He had to rigorously train his fundamental martial arts and physical conditioning to the point of perfection so he could sleep soundly at night.
The chat messages that particularly concerned Lin Rui also included those from his 'uncle', who had started messaging from noon with a series of messages, the last one sent at 20:00.
Lin Da: Where are you? Why aren't you responding? When are you coming over? It's already 8 p.m.; how long do you want me to wait?
Lin Rui couldn't help but smack his forehead.
He had been busy all day with matters related to Qin Yan's retreat and subsequent issues, completely forgetting about this matter.
It was due to his oversight, for he should have realized sooner that he wouldn't be free today.
Lin Da was not in his extraterrestrial quantum communication system's address book, so on Tianji Star, Lin Da's messages weren't received.
Lin Rui glanced outside at the late hour; it was already 10 p.m.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Sorry, uncle, I've really been too busy these last few days. How about the day after tomorrow? I'll definitely come over then.
Lin Da: Can't it be tomorrow?
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): I have plans tomorrow; I've already promised someone else, and I can't break that commitment.
Lin Rui replied sheepishly, regretting having opened Fei Yunlai's chat window first.
However, Lin Da might have been worn out by him, showing no particular reaction upon seeing his message.
Lin Da: Fine! Then it's settled for noon the day after tomorrow. You had better not miss it again.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Definitely.
His eyes grew colder as he mentally went through the list of his students while he asked, in a chilled voice, "Are you just guessing? Moreover, why does an important division chief from the Security Bureau want to meet him? What could the Security Bureau possibly need from a local defense envoy?"
"Don't underestimate him." Zhou Yunfei's expression became serious, "Old friend, you should know about the Imperial City's Bureau of Stabbing Traitors, right? The command envoy of that bureau has been vacant for several months, and the various factions within the Great Song's imperial court have been disputing endlessly, yet to settle on a suitable candidate."
"The Bureau of Stabbing Traitors?"
Han Kedao certainly knew about the Bureau of Stabbing Traitors.
Originally established 800 years ago within the Imperial City's office specifically for investigating cases related to Heavenly Demons abroad, its authority gradually widened. Now, it also took on responsibilities like monitoring the emperor's subjects for the 'divine', guarding against treason, heresies, and major evil deeds, essentially acting as the Imperial City within the Imperial City.
However, the command envoy of the Bureau of Stabbing Traitors, usually held by a fifth-rank or higher imperial direct martial officer, had a modest rank but significant authority.
But what did this have to do with Lin Rui?
Zhou Yunfei's expression was unusual, "The Bureau of Stabbing Traitors is specifically set up for dealing with alien practitioners. All our branches in the Security Bureau place great importance on this division and watch it closely.
The first division's data analysis department even built a large model specifically for this matter, expending a lot of manpower and resources to collect a wide range of information and data, and using the top-tier super quantum computer clusters for analysis to identify potential candidates to take over as the command envoy of the Bureau of Stabbing Traitors.
And just this afternoon, Lin Da suddenly appeared at the top of this list with an 87% probability of taking over the Bureau of Stabbing Traitors in three to five months!"
Upon hearing this, Han Kedao's eyes went wide.
Lin Rui was about to take over the Bureau of Stabbing Traitors? Was the Great Song dynasty planning to use a Heavenly Demon to guard against Heavenly Demons?
This was getting interesting—
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Old Zhou, that's just your model's analysis; it might not come to pass."
"But he has a high probability! The large model we use has always been very accurate in predicting personnel changes within the Great Song's court."
Zhou Yunfei emphasized, then sincerely added, "Old Han, you have to help me this time! Our infiltration plan in the Imperial City failed previously because we were betrayed by a mole in our ninth division. I've been trying to uncover this mole but to no avail.
The most convenient way now is to check the file stored in the archives of the Bureau of Stabbing Traitors! This case was handled by them, and their files must have recorded all the detailed causatives before and after the event. The problem is that this file has a very high secrecy level, only their command envoy and three deputies have access."
Zhou Yunfei clasped his hands tightly.
The three deputy commanders of the Bureau of Stabbing Traitors, either fiercely hostile towards the alien practitioners of the East Asian Republic or steadfast and unshakeable in heart.
But that future command envoy gave him hope.
Since Lin Da could cooperate with Han Kedao, maybe he would also be willing to make a deal with their Security Bureau—
And his old classmate Han Kedao was the key person.
Yet he didn't notice that the emotions in Professor Han's eyes, visible on the video, were incredibly rich.
