First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!
Chapter 160: You’re Not Taking Her—749 Has No Such Rule

......

Ren Tong’s tone picked up slightly: “Then both the Ruan and Zhai families have top-ranked juniors on the Prodigy Ranking.”

“If you use that as the conflict point, it would still make sense, right? Plus you’re young too, same generation as them......”

The nearly two-meter-tall bald man blushed bright red as he said all this.

But he had no choice.

Every family has its hard-to-read scriptures.

Being the head of a 749 bureau station was a big deal—but it depends who you compare with.

And you can’t just use that identity to do whatever you want—people will talk, and it’ll have consequences.

Besides, Minshan City isn’t even within Yunmeng’s jurisdiction—it’s on the edge.

A lot of things, if they build up little by little, just become disgusting.

Lu Ding could understand Ren Tong’s frustration.

When they’re secretly isolating and targeting your daughter, there’s really nothing you can do.

In the dark, you’d love to tear them apart, but out in the open—it’s not really a “big enough” thing.

They didn’t really do anything to your daughter.

You can’t even make it a formal case.

So it’s just like a toad squatting on your foot—not biting you, just disgusting.

Listening to Ren Tong’s words,

Lu Ding got it—this was the helplessness of a father.

So yeah, this could be done. Two hundred contribution points sounded fair. He’d been wondering which family to make an example of anyway.

Now that it landed right in his lap, may as well start with the Zhai and Ruan families.

Besides, Ren Tong wasn’t playing any tricks—he’d laid it all out, to the point his bald head was turning red.

“Alright, I’ll take care of it for you, and I’ll make sure it looks good, but odds are it’ll just treat the symptoms, not the root. Why not just transfer her to another school?”

Ren Tong sighed: “I thought about that, but the other schools are too far. I wouldn’t feel at ease.”

“Her mother’s a 749 agent too. We met early on, but she got into an accident during a mission, and I’ve stayed single since. If she transferred to another top school, the quality might not be the same.”

“The distance is the main thing. She’s a girl, eighteen years old—I just can’t rest easy.”

That was fair. Eighteen isn’t that old, and it’s her senior year of high school.

Worrying was the right thing.

But speaking of school, Lu Ding suddenly remembered—he was about to start school too.

His school was one of the latest to begin the semester, but even then it was only a few days away.

His advisor had been good to him. He’d have to give them a call soon.

“Alright, say no more. I’ve got this. Send me those people’s info and photos. I’ll head over later.”

An easy job.

Lu Ding already made up his mind—he’d play the part of a yellow-haired thug waiting outside school today.

The best way to deal with this kind of people? Simple and direct: beat them. Give them a few slaps.

If they still don’t back down—bring their family in.

And beat them too.

Usually when this kind of problem happens, not always, but most of the time—it’s a family education issue.

Tie them all up and beat some sense into them—they’ll fall in line real quick.

When Ren Tong heard Lu Ding agree, he immediately broke into a smile—the red on his bald head even faded.

A complete face-turn in a split second.

“Eh eh eh, great, I’ll send it right now.”

Lu Ding saw his face change and added:

“But Director Ren, let’s agree on something first. I’m doing you a favor. I don’t know what your daughter’s like, but you know what I’m like—I don’t coddle kids.”

Don’t let her start throwing some spoiled princess tantrum in front of him.

Because if she did, Lu Ding would definitely deal with that too.

Ren Tong waved it off: “Don’t worry, she’s not like that.”

With that assurance, Lu Ding felt at ease.

Meanwhile, Director Ren was getting ready to transfer the contribution points. Two hundred was a lot, but for his daughter, he felt it was worth it—totally worth it!

Suddenly—

Ren Tong’s expression changed.

Just now, Lu Ding had pulled off such a massive display that he hadn’t looked at his phone.

Now he took a glance.

Ren Tong said: “Lu Taishui, someone from the Yu family—Yu Chen—sent someone over, said they want to take Nie Qingfei.”

Yu Chen?

Lu Ding recalled the chat logs on “Xiao Liuzi’s” phone from earlier.

“Came this fast?”

“Let’s go take a look.”

The three of them headed toward the funeral home.

.....

Inside the funeral home.

The person Yu Chen sent was an old man who looked to be in his sixties.

The moment he arrived, he was stunned by the marks left behind from Lu Ding’s punch.

The remnants of that battle—the feel of it—instantly made him take this seriously.

As he was studying the pattern and trying to gauge the strength of its creator—

A thunderous explosion boomed from the distance, pulling Shui Lao out of his thoughts.

A dark red light stretched across the distant sky, shifting its colors.

That move—it truly made him lower his Divine Palace realm head in humility.

He didn’t know who cast that move.

But that wasn’t important.

What mattered was—whoever it was, someone here today was not to be messed with.

And they were definitely from the 749 Bureau, because only 749 investigators were present here.

The young master had told him—adjust your approach based on who you meet.

He hadn’t even seen the person yet,

but Shui Lao already knew what kind of “dish” to serve.

Sure enough,

as three figures approached, two of them unfamiliar—

Shui Lao smiled and greeted them: “Ah, Director Ren! Long time no see. You still look as radiant as ever. Must be hard work, really, I appreciate all your efforts. And to these two investigators as well—thank you. I truly apologize for showing up like this today.”

“Sorry to interrupt everyone’s work—please allow me to first apologize to Director Ren, I really mean it.”

As the saying goes—no one hits a smiling face.

Such polite attitude, one apology after another, even clasping his hands together every few sentences.

And he was a Divine Palace powerhouse too.

He gave Ren Tong plenty of face.

But this kind of face—Ren Tong knew—was all surface level. He’d probably been just as shocked by Lu Ding’s battle as he had.

Just playing it safe.

If it had just been him here today, Shui Lao definitely wouldn’t be this friendly.

Ren Tong didn’t say anything. He simply smiled and stepped to the side, leaving the stage to Lu Ding.

That was a clear statement—don’t try to cozy up to me, we don’t have that kind of relationship. The one in charge today is someone else.

Shui Lao’s gaze fell on Lu Ding.

Unfamiliar. Didn’t recognize him. Young. But he didn’t underestimate him for that.

Instead, he cautiously asked:

“I’m Shui Shi. May I ask who you are......”

Lu Ding replied with a smile: “I’m Lu Ding. I’ve got things to do later, so I’ll skip the pleasantries. Let’s be direct.”

“You’re not taking her. 749 has no such rule.”

“And while you’re at it—tell Yu Chen to get ready to report to the local 749. He’s due for two months of remedial training on Investigator Conduct Regulations.”

Shui Lao was momentarily confused.

The young master was at home, wasn’t he?

Didn’t do anything, right?

He asked reflexively: “Why?”

Lu Ding unlocked Xiao Liuzi’s phone and tossed it over, displaying the chat log: “See for yourself.”

“He knew 749 was on duty and still had people secretly filming. Knowingly broke the law. Two months sounds about right.”
