First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 764: I’ll Allow You One Reasonable Request

This was the first time Fu Xinghe had dared to speak to Secretary Qiu like this.

Hearing it in his ears,

Secretary Qiu only felt gratified.

Fu Xinghe was presentable in every aspect.

There was just one point; he was influenced too heavily by his own shortcomings.

He had been disciplined by his parents at home for too long.

He didn't understand what resistance meant.

At this moment,

he felt that Fu Xinghe had grown up.

Standing there, looking at the young man who, despite his lack of confidence, still straightened his chest and tried hard to overcome it,

Secretary Qiu smiled.

His nephew, the nephew of Qiu Lü, had finally grown up!!!

Reaching into his chest,

Secretary Qiu pulled out a gift he had prepared for a long time but never given.

He casually tossed it to Fu Xinghe: "Be extra careful out there. If anything happens, call your uncle."

Fu Xinghe's eyes instantly reddened.

He caught the thrown object and opened his palm.

It was a small bone talisman for storage, capable of being absorbed into the body.

Inside the bone talisman were many boxes containing techniques, resources, pills, and talismans.

The combined value of these things,

if Fu Xinghe were just an ordinary second-generation kid with average talent, would be enough for him to use for a lifetime.

The path Secretary Qiu had paved for him in the first stage was a bright, broad road.

Watching the departing figure,

Fu Xinghe called out: "Uncle........"

Secretary Qiu stopped walking, but Fu Xinghe didn't know what to say.

From an angle Fu Xinghe couldn't see,

Secretary Qiu smiled.

He paused, then continued forward.

The sunlight on that side was blocked by the teaching building. At this moment, Secretary Qiu seemed to walk into an untrodden path ahead. The broad back in Fu Xinghe's eyes was the target he was destined to chase.

The maternal uncle is as great as a father.

Family tradition, Dehua.

He was raised by his uncle, after all.

"Brother Lu, do you think... I can catch up to my uncle?"

He didn't know; he needed affirmation.

Lu Ding didn't answer directly but instead asked: "What do you think, how will I compare to Elder Shui in the future?"

Hearing this made Old Man Long's liver tremble.

A thought subconsciously surfaced in his heart.

Young man, don't dream.

But then he thought again, Special Envoy Lu fought his way up from the Third Circle wearing the 749 Bureau's special merit award medal, whole and unharmed. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Perhaps...

He didn't dare be sure.

Looking back at Fu Xinghe, he didn't hesitate at all, directly nodding, affirming, and saying firmly: "I respect Elder Shui, but Brother Lu, you will definitely stand taller than Elder Shui."

Lu Ding glanced at him: "I also respect Elder Shui, but my assistant investigator will definitely be more capable than his assistant investigator."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The old man looked at the two of them as if looking at two newly sharpened blades. The cold gleam hurt his eyes; it was an unbridled, undisguised sharpness.

At this moment,

he thought of his younger self.

Wasn't he also a sharpened blade, thrust straight into the enemy's chest?

Old Man Long smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Truly from the family.

This feels right.

Suddenly.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

A coughing sound rang out.

It attracted Lu Ding's gaze. It turned out He Wanqiu, who had been knocked out by her brother earlier, had woken up.

In her dazed state,

when she saw Fu Xinghe standing there unharmed, she instinctively assumed a posture to continue the attack.

She hadn't lost yet.

Then.

*SMACK!!!!*

A stack of documents, picked up and sorted by He Cheng, was slapped onto He Wanqiu's face.

He said in a low voice: "Read this first before saying anything."

He Wanqiu was somewhat confused.

But out of trust in her brother, she still took them and read them carefully.

On the documents were Fu Xinghe's own archived records, along with various pieces of evidence, expenditure information, and so on.

As she read, He Wanqiu's heart sank to the bottom, her face flushing bright red.

She had actually... she had actually misunderstood Fu Xinghe for so long...

Fu Xinghe spoke up at this moment: "Let's return to that original topic. Do you think it's better for Chu Xiao to have this money, or for those people above to have it?"

The facts were laid out before her eyes.

Although Chu Xiao's family situation wasn't much better either,

seeing this, and having personally witnessed just before she fainted how Lu Ding had beaten Dong Changgong to death,

He Wanqiu finally sobered up a bit.

Recalling the past,

Chu Xiao's spending habits, while not outrageously extravagant like hers, were... Chu Xiao's spending level wasn't low. Even just one meal could amount to a quarter or a third of a single quarter's funding grant.

Before, she didn't think much of it because her own standard was there, and she had subconsciously compared Chu Xiao to herself.

Now thinking about it, it was completely retaliatory spending after having money.

And this kind of meal wasn't something Chu Xiao had only once or twice.

Although this was money from his scholarships and what he earned himself, it also showed that this funding grant money wasn't actually important to Chu Xiao.

In contrast, looking at the family backgrounds and spending levels of these truly impoverished students on the documents...

He Wanqiu calculated silently in her heart.

One quarter's funding grant could cover nearly two months of living expenses for a poor student.

Meaning,

Chu Xiao's one meal cost nearly half a month's living expenses for someone else...

Seeing this, He Wanqiu weakly lowered her hands, responding to the undeniable fact: "It's better for them to have it... I'm sorry..."

The saying goes, one who doesn't manage a household doesn't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt; one who doesn't earn money doesn't know the difficulty of making it.

Her family was prominent, her thoughts always idealistic, blindly pursuing so-called fairness while ignoring the reference value of reality.

She only felt Chu Xiao should have it.

But she never considered that this money, for Chu Xiao, might just be an extra meal, but for the truly impoverished, it could save a lot of time for studying and cultivation.

It's like a private car yielding to an ambulance but being caught by a camera for not obeying traffic rules, facing a fine and demerit points.

Transposing He Wanqiu's thinking: Not obeying traffic rules is illegal, and illegal acts should be dealt with!

But Fu Xinghe felt that the law should not be devoid of human sentiment; practical circumstances should be considered, so it shouldn't be dealt with.

Fu Xinghe revealed a victorious smile.

This person's mouth was unusually stubborn. Now that she had softened, how could he not be happy?

But after the happiness,

he didn't know what to do specifically.

Should he be magnanimous in victory...

His eyes turned to the side, seeking help.

Lu Ding, receiving the signal, returned a wordless look.

'Just learn.'

Then he stepped forward, looking at He Cheng: "I allow you to make one reasonable request."

He Cheng knew what was coming would eventually come.

If you're wrong, you admit it. The loser eats dust.

He lowered his head, saying: "I apologize for my actions earlier, but my sister hasn't finished her studies yet..."

"Understood. But no need to apologize, because I don't plan to forgive you."

Lu Ding's voice sounded accompanied by the sound of something cutting through the air.

*SMACK!!!!*

This time, He Cheng didn't even feel pain, just numbness. His vision just blurred a bit, the ground getting closer and closer, not even touching it yet.

*THUD!!!*

One kick!!

Watching the figure shoot out like a cannonball, stirring up a cloud of dust. He would be injured, but he wouldn't die.
