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

I’ve only missed one or two collective meetings, so where did he come from? And with such a high status too?

Today is really strange; why do I keep encountering weird things everywhere?

Suspicion arose in her heart, but she didn’t show it.

Judging by the situation, everyone seems quite familiar with him.

If I say something detrimental to unity now, it might affect the upcoming operation.

She decided to wait until everything was over and then ask Yuwen Longyuan for details about this person.

Little did she know, in Yuwen Longyuan’s eyes,

Gao Qiuli, with her many schemes and intricate thoughts, couldn’t compare to Lu Ding, who was ruthless, spoke little, and got straight to action upon meeting.

Wanting to inquire about him from Yuwen Longyuan?

He’d just fob you off with a couple of words; just listen and accept it.After everyone had gathered,

Yuwen Longyuan stood up: ”Everyone.”

”Miss Gao Qiuli wants us to initiate the plan targeting Lu Ding ahead of schedule to avoid complications. What do you all think?”

As soon as these words were spoken,

They were instantly opposed by the majority.

”It was proposed yesterday, and today we’re supposed to implement it? We’re dealing with Lu Ding, who has an entire local 749 Bureau at his disposal. We need to prepare at least a little.”

”We can’t be so reckless; the timeframe is too short.”

”That sounds good, just casually mentioning moving it up. Let me ask you: what is Lu Ding’s current strength? Where is Lu Ding now? Where is Qian Jin now? Where is Hou Dehai now? What’s the current situation at the White Ridge 749 headquarters? With such a big incident on the Path of Dry Bones, is White Ridge 749’s response significant? How many enemies do we need to face? Do you know any of this?”

One question after another was thrown at Gao Qiuli.

These were indeed facts.

It wasn’t that they hadn’t considered them; it was just that things happened too suddenly.

Too rushed.

Who could have imagined that the entire investigative team of White Ridge 749 would change their nature overnight?

If not for such an unexpected turn of events,

They would definitely have sorted out all the issues and prepared flawless methods before taking action against Lu Ding.

They were an organization that sought amusement, but they weren’t a foolish organization.

What kind of good person would charge in with just a big head to deliver achievements?

Gao Qiuli stood up: ”I know it’s too hasty, but plans can’t keep up with changes.”

”The Path of Dry Bones is currently in chaos. White Ridge 749 has dispatched a large number of investigators there to purge it. It’s precisely because I couldn’t fight against overwhelming odds that I proposed taking action early.”

”If we don’t act now and wait until White Ridge 749 has purged the Path of Dry Bones and the situation becomes clear, our chances of success against Lu Ding will decrease.”

As she spoke, Lu Ding glanced at the Wuwang demonic cultivators present from the corner of his eye.

He noticed they didn’t seem very interested in Gao Qiuli’s dry speech.

This won’t do.

Every day you delay is a day wasted for me.

If you don’t act for a month, wouldn’t I have to wait for you for a month?

He immediately stood up.

”I think this makes sense!!!”

All eyes turned to him.

Gao Qiuli: ??????

What does this mean?

Then they heard Lu Ding continue: ”The so-called ’taking a risk in military strategy’—we aren’t prepared, but is Lu Ding’s side prepared either?”

”According to what she said, the local forces on the Path of Dry Bones are currently clashing with the White Ridge investigators.”

”If we get involved at this point, we can fish in troubled waters.”

”Moreover, we could even join forces with the local powers on the Path of Dry Bones to set up an inside-outside trap, luring him in.”

”If we currently can’t figure out Lu Ding’s details, then we can invite him in the name of the local powerful families and clans.”

Scheming against myself?

Hilarious.

Of course, Lu Ding’s purpose in doing this was simply to see if he could identify any forces on the Path of Dry Bones colluding with Wuwang.

And it turned out there really were.

Then someone said: ”Finding local forces is easy, but... will Lu Ding come? It feels like the intention is a bit too obvious, doesn’t it?”

”Besides, Lu Ding has never accepted anyone’s invitation.”

Lu Ding: Oh!????? There really are.

He immediately retorted: ”No!”

”The situation before and now is different. Not accepting before doesn’t mean he won’t accept now.”

”The Path of Dry Bones is so vast, with so many factions. It’s impossible to exterminate and kill them all, right?”

”The best method is to win over some and suppress others.”

”As long as there’s a faction willing to be the first gambler now, actively showing weakness to Lu Ding, he will definitely attend. After all, only by doing so can he demonstrate his magnanimity and also tell others that as long as they cooperate, nothing will happen.”

The normal procedure is indeed like that.

But Lu Ding never does it that way.

What level is this?

Does he need to go meet them in person?

Shouldn’t people who genuinely want to surrender come see him?

But it doesn’t matter.

As long as these people follow his plan, then he’ll go.

The main point is scheming against himself, and he can still cooperate.

Even the clumsiest plan can be seamless. I’m both the righteous side and the villainous side; I’m amusing myself.

Everyone listening felt there were many loopholes.

Especially Gao Qiuli: ”How can you be sure Lu Ding will follow your mediocre plan, especially at such a special juncture?”

As her words fell,

Lu Ding kicked his chair aside and slowly walked toward Gao Qiuli.

Just as she thought this person was unhappy with her rebuttal and was coming to argue with her face-to-face,

Lu Ding swung his hand back.

Slap!!!!

He directly sent Gao Qiuli spinning several times in mid-air before she crashed heavily, smashing the round table in the room.

Amidst the pain, Gao Qiuli didn’t react immediately.

She had already mentally prepared her arguments for the debate.

But this person actually took direct action...

He... hit me???

He actually dared to hit me?

As Gao Qiuli did a kip-up to stand, Lu Ding grabbed the chair she had just been sitting on and smashed it down on the back of her head.

With a crack, the chair disintegrated.

The kip-up turned back into a face-plant.

Then Gao Qiuli felt a sharp pain in her scalp—it was Lu Ding pulling her hair, lifting her head.

In a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, he said: ”I really hate brainless idiots like you; you’re infuriatingly stupid!!”

”I was speaking up for you, helping push your idea, achieving your goal of acting early, and you jump out to refute me!?”

My intolerance for stupidity flared up.

Don’t talk about whether you’re worried or not. You’re the one proposing it, you’re the one establishing it—what the hell is this if not a betrayal?

Lu Ding pulled her hair, grabbed her head, and slammed it against the ground, DuangDuangDuangDuang.......

After smashing it over a dozen times, making everyone around shudder with fear and their eyelids twitch, Lu Ding finally stopped.

Just as Gao Qiuli’s consciousness flickered, dimming and brightening, on the verge of dispersing,

Lu Ding continued: ”Regarding your question, I’ll answer you now.”
