First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 800: The Fu Family Tradition

Fu Xinghe stepped forward and snatched the IOU, placing it in his mother's hands.

After reading the words on it, leaving his own name and fingerprint, Qiu Jinyun took Fu Xinghe's hand and, with cold eyes brimming with tears, looked at Fu Nansheng: "Patriarch Fu, from now on, let's not see each other again."

"Special Envoy Lu, please, the Qiu family has prepared a banquet, we humbly request Special Envoy Lu to grace us with your presence."

Now *that's* what you call attitude!

Lu Ding felt satisfied.

"Aunt Qiu, no need to be so formal."

The three of them left the place, chatting and laughing.

As for how the Fu family would fare...

Well, that depended on whether they could withstand the consequences of parting ways with the Qiu family and offending Lu Ding.

Lu Ding also felt it wasn't appropriate to push things to the absolute extreme here.

After all, this was Xinghe's father.

It wasn't like Xinghe could ask Lu Ding to kill his own father over these matters, right?

At most, it meant cutting ties and severing the relationship from now on.

Only when the figures of the three had disappeared from sight.

Did Fu Nansheng finally lose his composure. Rage surged through his heart, and he spat out a mist of blood.

The surrounding Fu family members hurriedly crowded around him.

"Patriarch, are you alright?"

"Patriarch, how are you?"

"Patriarch, you must take care of your health!!"

"The young master and the madam are just angry for the moment. Patriarch, only by taking care of your health will you have hope of bringing the young master and madam back."

"Big brother, don't get too worked up. Today's matter... was indeed somewhat lacking in consideration. The way you acted before also had its problems, alas..."

"Big brother, don't blame your younger brother for saying this, but sometimes the way you handle things is indeed a bit..."

Fu Nansheng listened to these voices.

His gaze shifted, landing on his two younger brothers, Fu Nanzai and Fu Nanting.

He laughed, revealing two rows of teeth stained red with blood.

"Hahahahaha.... Nanzai.... Nanting.... I have nothing left, I have absolutely nothing........"

"My wife, my child... gone, all gone. From now on, I, Fu Nansheng, am all alone."

"Don't say that, big brother, don't you still have us?"

"That's right, big brother. Before we had sister-in-law and Xinghe, didn't our family live happily together?"

They thought they were comforting Fu Nansheng.

Little did they know, this was just rubbing salt into Fu Nansheng's wounds.

Not mentioning this would have been fine. The moment they brought it up, Fu Nansheng exploded!

Even a clay figure has a temper!

"Am I, Fu Nansheng, destined to be a fucking loner for life, just to clean up your messes and handle your disasters!?"

"Can't I have my own family!?"

"Our family!!!! Hahahahaha, what a wonderful family we truly are........"

Fu Nansheng was so furious his eyes were bloodshot. He directly lunged forward, grabbing one with each hand, pinning Fu Nanzai and Fu Nanting right where they stood!!!

"Tie these two up for me!!!"

The sudden change left everyone else completely unable to react. But now that the patriarch had given the order, they could only instinctively follow and move to restrain them.

Fu Nanting and Fu Nanzai instantly panicked.

"Big brother, what are you doing, big brother!?"

"Big brother, calm down! Sister-in-law and Xinghe leaving isn't our fault, we didn't do anything wrong."

"Big brother, we are your own younger brothers! Nanyun is still lying over there, why are you tying us up now!?"

"Big brother, father told you to take good care of us! The eldest brother is like a father, big brother!!"

Fu Nansheng stood up: "The eldest brother is like a father... what a fine saying, 'the eldest brother is like a father.' That one phrase has worn me down year after year...."

He had also begun to understand some things. Why had today's situation come about? Why did he have this kind of personality? Why had his wife and son left him?

He had his faults, he had his reasons. But did the overall environment of the Fu family have no part in it?

Did his father, that hands-off patriarch who secluded himself in closed-door cultivation all the time, have no part in it!?

There was a time when he also hated his father. But now, he had actually become the very image of his father.

Xinghe was his son, exactly like he was in his youth.

His father had told him, "The eldest brother is like a father," to look after his younger siblings.

And he had told Xinghe to yield to the children of the second and third households.

These were all the same.

But there were also differences.

That was, Xinghe knew how to rebel. Faced with the choice of leaving or staying, he chose to leave with Jinyun.

While he, back then, didn't know how to rebel. Faced with the choice of leaving or staying, because of that one phrase, "the eldest brother is like a father," he chose to stay by his father's side.

Similar upbringing, similar life experiences.

Vastly different choices and outcomes.

At this moment, Fu Nansheng wondered, if he had made a different choice back then, would he not have become this kind of person?

If he had known how to rebel back then, would the outcome today have been a happy, complete family...

This was also one of the reasons why Secretary Qiu felt relieved when he saw Fu Xinghe rebelling against him.

This was also one of the reasons why he transferred Fu Xinghe to Lu Ding's side, away from the Fu family.

He was afraid Fu Xinghe would end up living the same life as Fu Nansheng.

Now, the facts proved that Secretary Qiu's choice back then was right, and Qiu Jinyun's complaint was also right.

Lu Ding had influenced Fu Xinghe, influenced the course of Fu Xinghe's life, allowing him to walk his own path, no longer confined by anyone else's opinions, living his own life.

Fu Nansheng turned his head to look deep into the Fu Residence: "Send Nanyun and Huan'er for medical treatment. Lock up that freeloader and these two useless brothers!!!"

"If I don't come out in three days, then release them."

But if he *did* come out... well, then it would be time to settle old and new accounts together.

Fu Xinghe had the courage to confront his own father.

Now, with nothing left, Fu Nansheng also had the courage to confront *his* father.

Unlike Fu Xinghe, who lacked sufficient confidence and cultivation level.

Fu Nansheng had decades of experience taking care of his younger siblings, the confidence from not only restoring the Fu family's former glory but surpassing it, and the cultivation level of the Spirit Refinement realm!!

So compared to Fu Xinghe relying on Lu Ding.

Fu Nansheng chose to rely on himself. He was going to have a fight between men with his own father!

If he didn't come out, he would die!

But if he *did* come out... that old man in the Fu family, the one who had trapped Fu Nansheng for most of his life with that phrase 'the eldest brother is like a father,' would be in for a world of trouble!

Having said that.

Fu Nansheng strode towards the depths of the Fu Residence without looking back.

His aura surged layer by layer, his Spirit Refinement cultivation gradually awakening, drawing the attention of many parties.

By the time Lu Ding and the other two successfully arrived at the Qiu family.

Amidst the joyful laughter of the entire Qiu family personally coming out to welcome them.

The battle between Fu Nansheng of the Fu family and the Fu family's Old Master officially began.

The immense commotion made Lu Ding instinctively glance towards the direction of the Fu family.

Secretary Qiu stood beside him and said, "My brother-in-law has come to his senses a bit late."

Actually, his feelings towards this brother-in-law of his were quite complex. There was some admiration, after all, starting with a terrible hand dealt by fate and playing it to this extent—calling him a dragon among men would be an understatement. But he also found him pitiable, lamentable, and detestable.

Fu Nansheng's character needed no elaboration. If he had problems as a person, he wouldn't have led the Fu family to become one of the largest civil service families in Hanjing. The reason it was still 'one of' and not 'the' largest was entirely due to insufficient foundational strength; Fu Nansheng's Spirit Refinement cultivation was still not enough.

If it had been sufficient, the Fu family would absolutely be the largest civil service family in Hanjing.

His journey to this day could be said to have lived up to everyone's expectations, except for failing Fu Xinghe and his mother.

Secretary Qiu's transformation from a legal shark to his current civil service position, even becoming Elder Shui's dedicated secretary, was inseparable from the influence of his brother-in-law, Fu Nansheng.

So his feelings towards Fu Nansheng were also very complicated.

Since Lu Ding didn't know the situation of the Fu family, he asked, "Come to his senses?"

Secretary Qiu nodded: "Yes, come to his senses. He finally dares to rebel against his own father."

Lu Ding listened to the commotion: "This doesn't sound like rebellion. This sounds like a fight."

Secretary Qiu laughed, and he laughed very happily: "If Xinghe hadn't lacked sufficient cultivation and confidence today, he probably would have fought with Fu Nansheng too."

The Fu family has a bit of a saying, a family tradition: the father bullies the son, the son beats the father. In this regard, it shares a strange similarity with the inherently evil Uchiha clan.

Lu Ding pondered for a moment, then uttered something shocking: "Could it be that there's a problem with the Fu family's ancestral graves?"

"Hahahahahahahaha......" Secretary Qiu laughed uproariously.

"Who knows, maybe there really is a problem. Tomorrow I'll pay out of my own pocket to find them a feng shui master to take a look. After all, my nephew still has Fu family blood flowing in his veins. This is no small matter."

As he spoke, he slung an arm around Lu Ding's shoulder, pulling him along as they walked inside: "Come on, come on, let's not talk about this. You've done me a huge favor this time. Today we must drink until we're drunk, have a good day of indulgence and rest. Tomorrow, you can continue to embrace the exciting life of Corpse-Shattering Taishui."

"How exciting?" Lu Ding asked with a smile.

Secretary Qiu answered with a laugh: "More exciting than any storybook novel. Your trip to Great Jing is destined to be one of unbridled freedom and utter recklessness!!"
