First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

As soon as these words were spoken.

Ji Tai was stunned.

He instinctively looked down.

Indeed!

There was a phone placed beneath the copper pot, and under the high heat, it was already smoking!!!

”Old Chu!!!!!”

Deputy Director Chu: ”Heh heh heh... eat up, eat up...”

If he hadn’t said anything, it might have been fine.

But as soon as he spoke.Ji Tai instantly flew into a rage.

An overwhelming aura immediately spread out, overturning the table!!!

The contents crashed to the ground with a clatter.

”I wasn’t even going to do anything to him, you—”

Before he could finish.

A solid punch came flying at him.

Lu Ding, who had just stepped outside, sensed the surge of energy.

And heard the crashing sounds inside.

No need to say more!!

They were fighting in his home—how could he tolerate this?

He had just developed a new technique!

Extending his hand.

A jade-like arm reached out from the red coffin, handing him a blade which Lu Ding grasped firmly.

Taking a deep breath.

Lu Ding raised the blade.

Exhaling flames, he enchanted the blade, igniting it with raging fire.

With one kick, he blasted the door open.

Shattering it to pieces!!!

Lu Ding raised the blade, ready to strike.

But upon entering, he saw.

Deputy Director Ji of Lingshun crouching in the corner.

While his own Deputy Director Chu was casually brushing off nonexistent dust from his hands.

”Who spoiled you like this? Did you really think this was your home? Daring to smash my things—just wait and see how I deal with you.”

Turning around.

He saw Lu Ding standing at the doorway, blade raised, exuding an aura that even made him uneasy.

Deputy Director Chu couldn’t help but wonder.

What had this kid come up with now?

Before, the only things that could unsettle him were Lu Ding’s charged attacks and his ”Dharma Form Manifestation.”

But that was just unease, not this kind of dread.

They hadn’t posed too much of a threat.

Because back then, Lu Ding hadn’t reached this level of cultivation.

But now was different.

Lu Ding had reached the sixth level of the Si Ming realm.

If he charged up an attack now.

The power would be......

Moreover, Deputy Director Chu’s usual assumption was that Lu Ding needed his hands to charge an attack.

That was common knowledge.

But now, seeing him holding a flaming, enchanted blade—the danger seemed even greater than a charged strike.

This inevitably led Deputy Director Chu to speculate.

Had Lu Ding created something terrifying again?

If even Deputy Director Chu felt this way.

Then Deputy Director Ji of Lingshun 749, cowering in the corner, was even more panicked, raising his hands: ”Wait!!!”

”Wait!!!!”

As the saying goes, reputation precedes a person.

Who in the entire 749 Bureau didn’t know of Lu Ding’s brutality?

His reputation was built on a trail of battle records, slain monsters, and fields of dismembered corpses.

Looking at Lu Ding raising that blood-red flaming blade.

Deputy Director Ji could almost see his ancestors waving at him from the flickering flames.

If that strike landed.

He might not die immediately—after all, as a deputy director, he had some skills, unlike those useless outsiders—but injury, or even severe injury, would be unavoidable.

Lu Ding glanced at him.

Then scanned the room.

The overturned copper pot, scattered ingredients, and Deputy Director Ji crouched in the corner.

This wasn’t what he had expected.

Silently lowering the blade, he waited for an explanation.

Deputy Director Ji exhaled in relief, blurting out without thinking: ”Damn it, your Yunhai 749 Bureau is too brutal!!!”

”Heaven knows, I didn’t even say anything! I’ve waited all these days without making a single unreasonable move!!”

”Old Chu, you’re the unreasonable one! You deliberately provoked me—after waiting so long, wasn’t I justified in getting angry?”

”You started hitting me right away!!!”

”Is there any justice left?!”

”The old ones want to beat me, the young ones want to slash me—am I some kind of punching bag?!”

He sounded genuinely aggrieved.

And he did have a point.

Although Deputy Director Ji had come seeking answers, he had waited patiently for days without making any unreasonable demands or threats.

Deputy Director Chu knew he was in the wrong.

He was a deputy director too.

A fiery temper came with the territory.

And given his earlier words and actions, it was only natural for the other man to lose his temper.

His stern expression instantly melted into a smile.

Hurrying over, he cheerfully helped Deputy Director Ji up from the corner: ”Heh heh, look how things got out of hand. The floor’s cold—let’s talk standing up.”

”I’m not getting up!!!”

”I’m not in confinement—so what if it’s cold? I’ll say my piece right here!!!”

”I’m a deputy director too, and you’ve shown me zero respect! Back in the day, you helped your brother Chu Gexiao bully me, and now you’re helping Lu Ding bully me!”

”The bureau’s understaffed as it is—do you know how hard it is being a deputy director? With the frontlines about to open, we need all hands on deck.”

”There’s still so much unresolved business in the bureau.”

”Lingshun’s performance has been at the bottom of all 749 branches for years now!!!”

”Chu Jiabao, your brother Chu Gexiao, and I—we’ve shared years of camaraderie, and you two ungrateful brothers don’t care one bit about our bond!”

”You never think of sharing the good stuff with your brother departments!”

The more he thought about it, the more wronged Ji Tai felt. Why did he have to suffer like this?

Bullied all the way up.

At this point, Ji Tai’s eyes reddened.

For a deputy director of his stature, emotions were running high.

He shot to his feet: ”I quit!!”

”Let someone else take this deputy director job! It was you and your brother who recommended me for it in the first place—I should’ve known nothing good ever comes my way. Neither of you ever looked out for me—it’s always been nothing but targeting me!”

As he tore off his epaulets and started stripping off his uniform.

Deputy Director Chu’s embarrassment turned to anger!

His smile vanished instantly: ”You quit!?”

”You think you can just quit like that? I never looked out for you?”

”Damn it!!”

”Fine, if that’s how you want to settle this.”

”Take a look at this!”

Ripping off his shirt, he bared his torso, pointing at a bowl-sized scar over his heart.

”When I recommended you for deputy director, during the Huangjiang Salted Fish Village incident—you were trapped, and it was me, ME, who led the team to rescue you!”

”That village chief punched straight through my heart—I barely survived after emergency surgery!”

”Fine, if you want to play it this way, then look at THIS!”

Rip!!!

Ji Tai tore his own shirt open, revealing a horrific scar running from his left shoulder to his right ribs.

”Back when I’d just taken over as Lingshun’s deputy director, the place was in dire straits—the entire Lingshun 749 Bureau was so broke we couldn’t squeeze a drop of water from it.”

”Then you Yunhai idiots stirred up trouble in Fengdu and pissed off something massive!”

”It was ME, ME who took its blade head-on and wrestled it down—I nearly got sliced in half!”

Seeing he was losing the one-upmanship, Deputy Director Chu snapped: ”Fine! If that’s how you want it, then take a look at THIS!”

He reached for his belt to undo his pants.

Not to be outdone, Deputy Director Ji went for his own belt.

Watching this unfold.

Lu Ding’s head was spinning.

What the hell was happening here.
