First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 786: Lao Shui’s Pet and Lu Ding’s Unyielding Edge

It's not that he lacked backbone, it's that he truly had no moves left!!

Dealing with him as if he were from Tai Island without showing any signs!

It was clearly just playing around, but then Lu Ding threw sand in the game.

Now they were about to execute him!

How terrifying is that?

Lu Ding found it amusing.

What kind of nonsense is this?

He was about to go in now, and he didn't have time to play around with this guy, otherwise, he would definitely have teased him a bit.

"You're quite good at gilding your own lily. What level are you, to think you're worthy of facing a Three-Hall Joint Hearing like me?"

Hearing the playful tone in the voice.

Xue Kai abruptly looked up, and in an instant, his legs weren't weak anymore, his waist had strength, and he could stand up.

Like a spring, he bounced up with a 'boing'.

"Not... not judging me???"

"It's judging me."

Lu Ding said, then pushed Elder Shui inside, with Secretary Qiu following closely behind.

Watching the backs of the three, Xue Kai was deep in thought, though no one knew what he was thinking, and he just followed step by step, crossing the threshold.

Pushing the door open and entering.

Looking at the judge's bench, the jury bench, the audience bench, figures sat one after another, cast in shadow, their faces unclear.

But Lu Ding knew in his heart that these were all influential figures, powerful individuals holding high positions in the Great Han.

Each one had an extraordinary presence.

Any single one pulled out was not someone he could mess with in his current state.

This scene... one word for it... grand!!!

But even though these powerhouses were all quite formidable.

Upon seeing Lu Ding pushing Elder Shui in, each of them had strange looks in their eyes, their emotions fluctuating.

To put it bluntly, they were restless.

They were tough guys, sure, but the one being pushed was the toughest person in the Great Han at present.

"Push me over there."

In the three-trial chamber filled with figures, only Elder Shui's voice rang out.

Lu Ding pushed the old man to a corner, then returned to stand in the center of the room.

Then they heard.

"Interrogating a prisoner? Get him a seat!"

It was still Elder Shui's voice.

"Sigh...."

"Sigh..."

Sighs, one after another, filled with helplessness.

A vigorous, full-bodied voice came from the first seat at the very front of the high platform.

"Bring a seat for Lu Ding."

Following this instruction, Lu Ding became the first person to sit while undergoing a Three-Hall Joint Hearing.

Seeing him sit down, in the spacious meeting room, the sound of gulping water could be heard: "Ah......."

"Alright, you all can begin now."

It was still Elder Shui.

The pressure was maxed out.

Just sitting there, his eyes were the measure.

Whether things were fair or not later, he would see at a glance.

Then he took out a piece of stone, bound with chains, from his bosom, placed it on the ground, and poured some tea water on the stone.

Elder Shui: "Tsk tsk tsk......."

He jiggled the chain, like teasing a dog.

Watching this, the people inside felt like bolting for the door.

He's pulling this stunt again!!? 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

They were truly fed up!

Although this wasn't an ordinary stone, this stone had no vitality whatsoever, but Elder Shui insisted this thing was his pet...

Every time he wanted to do some mischief, he'd haul the stone out, and once he was unhappy, he'd swing the stone, letting his pet bite people.

This 'pet' was fierce, oh man, biting people until their heads bled.

Feeling the gazes upon him, Elder Shui looked up, meeting their eyes: "Why are you looking at me? There are no words on my face. Begin."

Only then did the collective gaze withdraw, turning back to Lu Ding.

Thud!

The gavel fell, settling the matter.

The scene quieted down.

The first hall of the Three-Hall Joint Hearing, the 749 Bureau.

"Lu Ding, male, original registered residence: Third Circle Great Han Yunhai, current registered residence: Second Circle Great Han Hanjing, position: New City Special Envoy. During tenure, solved multiple local malignant incidents in New City, eliminated targets including, but not limited to, Yellow Heaven Sect emissaries, Wuwang organization members, local rampaging demons."

"And, destroyed the entire Path of Dry Bones 749..."

"Regarding the above statements, Lu Ding, do you have any additions?"

Lu Ding sat upright. Now was not the time for politeness; official business required sharpness.

"No additions, but there are corrections."

"First, it was not 'solving', because I had no prior intelligence. When specially dispatched to New City, I started with nothing, only bringing Fu Xinghe."

"My subordinate, first, had no resources to use, second, had no personnel to use. I was completely in the dark, and went directly. The term 'solving' is not incorrect, but it is too superficial."

"From beginning to end, all matters were handled personally by me and Fu Xinghe, from intelligence to planning, from resources to manpower, from reassuring the people to elimination and combat."

"Merely the two words 'solving' do a disservice to the effort and sweat of me and my assistant investigator, do a disservice to the blood and sacrifice of White Ridge 749!"

He said he would make them martyrs, and it was absolutely not just a verbal promise, a superficial gesture; it must be realized in practice!

Lu Ding raised a second finger, continuing: "Second, Path of Dry Bones 749 was not 'destroyed', but 'purged'."

"Black sheep must never be tolerated, cowardly armies must never be indulged."

"Path of Dry Bones 749, abandoning their posts without authorization, rashly changing their station location, colluding with local powerful demons, preying on the common people. After my extensive, bold investigations and careful, covert verification, Path of Dry Bones 749 was already beyond redemption."

"Therefore, as Special Envoy, I decided to promptly eliminate this black sheep."

"It was not I who destroyed Path of Dry Bones 749, but Path of Dry Bones 749 who walked the path to destruction themselves."

"I was the executor. The destruction of Path of Dry Bones 749 was the general trend; I merely went with the flow, pushed the boat with the current!"

On the high platform, the 749 Bureau high-ranking officials seated in that hall had eyes full of appreciation and approval!

What he had stated was just procedure, but what Lu Ding said was what he wanted to hear.

One's own rights and interests allow no concession!

The second hall on the high platform, the Review Office.

"Lu Ding, someone has reported you for abusing your authority, killing innocents indiscriminately. After returning to the capital, you further violently attacked the local Dong and Su family forces, causing massive negative repercussions."

"After Xue Kai, one of the Ministers of the Second Court, Sixth Department of our office, promptly ordered someone to notify you, you still refused to listen to dissuasion, stubbornly and self-righteously carried out the extermination of the Su family."

"This constitutes resistance against the Review Office, resistance against the laws of the Great Han. Regarding this, please allow Xue Kai, Minister Xue, to provide additional information."

The voice fell.

In the dimly lit seating area, the moment Xue Kai stood up, a beam of light fell, specially highlighting him.

Xue Kai cast a look towards Lu Ding.

But received no response of eye contact in return.

Not even for a moment?

'Are you really that arrogant?'

Looking at that round back of the head: 'If I were to say something, wouldn't you be in trouble today?'

Although it wouldn't necessarily mean convicting Lu Ding directly.

But the Review Office would definitely not let him off easy.

But...

Xue Kai sighed.

His wife died; it was normal for him to have emotional impulses.

But as a Minister of the 749 Review Office, not claiming he was absolutely clean, never having personal thoughts.

But he could absolutely say he had a clear conscience.

Even if there was a little abuse of power for personal whims.

It was still harmless.

His wife's death was a fact, and his good relationship with his wife was also a fact.

But his position as a Minister of the 749 Review Office was also a fact, and moreover, the time he joined the Review Office was before he knew his wife.

In a setting like this, his words must be worthy of the oath he swore when he first joined the Review Office, must be worthy of this uniform he wore.
