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

”Xue Kai?!”

”A minister-level Review Office couldn’t handle that tough guy you mentioned? And got arrested instead?”

Another person chuckled, ”What about a minister? Ministers are human too, they can only act tough in front of us. In front of that tough guy, he can’t act tough.”

”And that eldest Su sister, Su Zhiqin, is this minister’s wife. Even with all these connections, this minister still couldn’t do anything about him.”

Counting on his fingers, he said, ”He’s got the brains and the brawn, that’s what you call truly accomplished!”

The person listening nearby frowned, ”Wait, since when did our bureau have such a tough guy? How come I’ve never heard of him before.”

”Haha, not hearing about him is exactly right. He’s not local here, he just works in our area. If it were anyone else, I’d definitely gossip behind his back about being a connection hire, pah!”

”But this brother, being assigned to our place, he really isn’t undeserving. I heard he’s a special envoy, it’s only right that he’s impressive.”

Another person asked curiously, ”What’s his name, what does he look like? Next time I see him, I’ll know what to expect, maybe I can even chat with him.”

The well-informed investigator raised three fingers, ”Surname Lu, wears scholar-warrior sleeves, has an intense, sharp look in his eyes. With these three traits combined, he stands out like a sore thumb in a crowd, like a crane among chickens, you can spot him at a glance.”As he spoke, he took out his keys and opened the cell door.

He called out, ”Minister Xue, please come out.”

Outside the cell door was idealism, dissatisfaction with the Review Office. Opening this cell door was reality.

When you need to bow your head, you have to bow your head.

Xue Kai slowly stood up, ”Who’s here to take me?”

”We don’t know that, the higher-ups only gave the order for me to bring you over.”

Xue Kai’s heart sank. What was coming would come. This disciplinary action probably couldn’t be avoided.

He took a deep breath, ”What about my brothers?”

Although Xue Kai was a bit foolish about his wife in this matter, now that he had calmed down, he was still a decent person.

The investigator replied, ”The others have all been released.”

Hearing this, those few Review Office staff members were overjoyed.

They thought something bad would happen today.

Never expected nothing would happen.

But Xue Kai caught the key point, ”The others?”

”Who isn’t being released?”

Two investigators had come together earlier. One came to take Xue Kai away to the Three-Hall Joint Hearing site.

The other one stepped out now, holding handcuffs, pointing at the young man who was still happily celebrating, ”Cheng Zhi, come with me!”

The young man took a step back, ”What do you mean? Where are you taking me?”

”Cut the damn crap, am I here to chat with you? Just come when told, if you don’t cooperate, I’ll have to do it myself!”

As he spoke, he pulled out a short baton from his lower back.

He pressed a button, the spell seal on it lit up, followed by crackling, popping sounds.

This scared Cheng Zhi.

They say the King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little demons are troublesome.

The 749 Bureau and the Review Office have never gotten along.

Now that weapons were being drawn, could he have an easy time?

”I......”

Cheng Zhi’s legs were trembling, his eyes full of pleading as he looked at Xue Kai, calling out, ”Uncle Xue....”

Xue Kai sighed, stepping forward, saying to the investigator holding the electric baton, ”Brother, could you be lenient, please don’t lay hands on my young friend here?”

”He’s just doing his job.”

With a minister of such high rank saying this, logically speaking, some face should be given.

The investigator put away the electric baton, ”Since Minister Xue has said so...”

He tossed the handcuffs, ”Put them on yourself.”

Cheng Zhi hurriedly caught the handcuffs and obediently put them on his wrists.

Xue Kai glanced back at him, ”Don’t worry, I’ll go see what’s happening first.”

The five people split into three groups.

Xue Kai went to the Three-Hall Joint Hearing site, the other three returned to report to the Review Office, while Cheng Zhi was taken to the detention area to await judgment.

On the way.

Cheng Zhi asked somewhat guiltily, ”Brother, where are you taking me?”

Because of Minister Xue’s earlier concern, this investigator hadn’t given him a hard time yet, so he replied, ”Taking you to the detention area.”

As soon as he said this.

He suddenly realized something.

”Hey wait, why is it that all five of you came in together, Minister Xue aside, but the other three were let go, yet you specifically are being singled out to go to the detention area?”

This sentence triggered Cheng Zhi’s earlier memories at the Su Family.

He said through gritted teeth, ”Offended someone, that’s why!”

Offended someone...

The investigator’s eyes shifted. These five people were the ones that investigator wearing scholar-warrior sleeves, who brought honor to the 749 Bureau, had arrested...

Thinking of this, he asked again, ”How did you offend him?”

Cheng Zhi sighed, ”Don’t mention it, that guy was too arrogant. I just wanted to give him a little push, who knew, hey...”

He thought this investigator would look after him for Xue Kai’s sake.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this.

The investigator instantly understood.

No wonder you’re being singled out.

He quietly reached back, silently checking his bodycam. What a coincidence, it was out of battery.

Reaching to his back, he pulled out the short baton, checked it. What a coincidence, fully charged!!

This investigator smiled, recalling what his colleague had just said, ”Heh, was that guy wearing scholar-warrior sleeves, with a very sharp look in his eyes, and surnamed Lu?”

Cheng Zhi spoke while looking to the side, ”How did you know?”

Not looking was fine, but looking gave him a fright. He saw the person beside him had already adjusted the output frequency of the spell seal on the short baton to maximum.

He jabbed the baton right at Cheng Zhi’s neck.

Instantly, screams like a pig being slaughtered and crackling sounds echoed together in the dim passageway.

”Ah!!!!!!!!”

”Scream! I’ll let you scream!!!”

”He’s arrogant, I think you’re the truly arrogant one!”

Crackle, crackle, crackle.

”You even wanted to push him, damn you’re cheap, you’re putting on airs, you think you’re so impressive, damn it!!!”

Crackle, crackle, crackle......

”Let me tell you, you’re still not convinced, young trees need pruning to grow straight. Today, I’ll definitely make you know that us 749 Bureau men are not to be trifled with!!!”

”Ah... Big brother, let me go...... Ah!! Big brother, please, let me go.......”

”Let you go?! When you bastards were arresting our colleagues, why didn’t you let them go? Mentally torturing them like taming a hawk. Today, letting you suffer some physical pain, and you’re already crying out, even calling me ’brother’, spineless piece of trash, pah.”

”Today, we’ll just keep greeting you with electric batons. We’ll stop when they run out of juice, damn it, I’ll let you scream!!”

”Ah!!!!!!!!!”

Unlike those in the Review Office who, for work, would disown their own families and were full of schemes from head to toe.

The 749 Bureau, from top to bottom, emphasizes two words: unity.

Internally, they can fight each other, but externally, they must be united.

Not to mention Lu Ding brought honor to the 749 Bureau investigators.

Before, it was always the Review Office arresting them. Today, they had also arrested people from the Review Office.

With this layer of identity buff, this investigator couldn’t be more energized while electrocuting him.

That guy, the screams were howling.

On the other side.

After Xue Kai was taken away, he walked, changing escorts along the way. Even with his strong mental fortitude, he was starting to struggle to hold on. Finally, he was directly brought to the Three-Judgment Hall deep within the Hanjing 749 Bureau Headquarters.

At this moment.

Xue Kai’s mentality collapsed!!!

Wait, what heaven-defying, intolerable thing did I do?

Why have they brought me to the Three-Judgment Hall?

This place... has three large execution blades, upper, middle, and lower, dragon, tiger, and dog, intimidating the entire Great Han.

Anyone who ends up here.

Either has great merit or great fault. Great fault gets the blade, great merit gets rewarded.

Regarding his own matters, Xue Kai knew in his heart, he definitely had no great merit, but he also had no great fault either...

This damn...

Xue Kai was tough. Someone who could become a minister was absolutely rock-solid.

But standing before the Three-Judgment Hall, his legs went weak, his body powerless, he just slumped down. If it weren’t for the 749 Bureau investigators holding him up on both sides, he’d be lying on the ground right now.

Not to mention, he turned his head.

And saw Secretary Qiu, and Lu Ding pushing Elder Shui, walking over.

At this moment.

Only two words were in Xue Kai’s mind.

”It’s over.........”

This setup, Elder Shui presiding, Lu Ding bringing the accusation, that guy surnamed Qiu acting as defense, they could turn black into white!!!

The color drained from Xue Kai’s face, he said with a pale expression, ”Lu... Lu Ding... is this necessary... we have no grudge between us, my wife died and I was too upset, I lost my head for a moment, I didn’t do anything excessive either... I cooperated with you...”

”And I truly didn’t know the Su Family and Dong Family were colluding, intending to harm investigators, I really didn’t know!!!”

”If I had known, even with a hundred times the courage, I wouldn’t have dared to go over.”

”Don’t execute me, I still have children!!!!”

”My crime doesn’t warrant death!!!”

”I’m begging you, please, okay!!!”
