First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!
Chapter 208: Lu Ding Nearly Laughed Himself to Death—You're Laughing So Loud

......

A mouthful of blood was spat out.

The color wasn’t the usual red.

It was dark green.

Bai Hemen landed and explained: “Got too caught up in going all-out, forgot the corpse aura in my spiritual energy is toxic.”

After saying that, he didn’t dare look at Lu Ding.

After all, this person’s fate—dead or alive—Lu Ding hadn’t said a word.

And he had no way of guessing Lu Ding’s thoughts.

What if Lu Ding still had a use for her?

So—

Before Lu Ding could speak, Bai Hemen decided to make up for it.

He pulled out some medicine from his chest pocket.

Inside were the same pills he once gave to Wu Yishuang.

Popped the cap.

Looking at Bai Baolian violently vomiting blood, Bai Hemen walked up and shoved the bottle’s mouth into hers.

“Take the pill and you’ll be fine. It works great.”

Bai Baolian couldn’t speak anymore.

Feeling the faint medicinal power in her body, it didn’t even count as a drop in the bucket—if anything, it only aggravated her injuries.

At that moment.

Bai Baolian regretted it all over again.

She regretted not coming with the 749 people, regretted using her cleverness in the wrong way—trying to guess 749’s intentions.

Facing death, she finally understood.

Even if she’d come with the 749 team, maybe she wouldn’t have done much.

But at least... she wouldn’t have died...

“How can it not work... it shouldn’t be like this...”

Bai Hemen’s voice cut into her thoughts.

Bai Baolian choked again and coughed up more blood.

Work? Yeah right!!

“Th-this... cough cough cough... this pill... y-you... y-you eat it yourself...”

Before she could finish, Bai Baolian collapsed.

Lu Ding sighed.

Man, that boomerang came back fast.

Tossed it out last night, and by this morning it hit him in the face.

Bai Hemen looked at Bai Baolian lying stiff.

Then glanced at the pill bottle in his hand.

Frowned.

Opened the bottle, poured one out, tossed it in his mouth.

After savoring it a bit, he smacked his lips.

“Yeah, it’s pretty mid.”

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...”

Lu Ding couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Old Deng told you it was for minor injuries HAHAHAHA... What were you thinking? She’s got corpse poison rushing to her heart, how the h*ll would that help HAHAHAHA...”

“You trying to speed up her death or what...”

Bai Hemen’s face went dark. He raised the bottle, ready to chuck it.

But then remembered it was a gift from Elder Deng—couldn’t bear to throw it.

Besides, he was the one who misunderstood its purpose.

So he silently put it back in his bag: “You’re laughing really loud.”

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...”

Lu Ding was still laughing, completely unable to stop.

Bai Hemen tried to explain: “But didn’t Wu Yishuang almost die before? She took one and recovered instantly.”

“I thought... even if it didn’t work that well, at least it could keep her alive.”

Lu Ding’s laughter slowed down. He gave Bai Hemen a knowing look.

Bai Hemen: ?????

Bai Hemen: !!!!!

Eyes widened—he seemed to realize something. But it was already too late.

He wanted to say something—but couldn’t find the words.

Mouth opened... and finally just blurted: “What do we do now?”

“You,” Lu Ding said, “better learn from this. I’m not always gonna clean up after you. I’ll give you a choice now—do you want her alive or dead? If you want...”

As he spoke—

Movement came from the woods nearby.

Out came Wang Qingge, carrying her little wooden plaque, leading a group of Xitong 749 investigators leaping in quickly.

She looked exactly like a sketchy tour guide.

Lu Ding and Bai Hemen turned to look.

Wei Hong led the group in.

Everyone stared at each other, big eyes looking at small eyes.

Until Wei Hong saw Bai Baolian lying there—not breathing.

He thought, Oh no, this is bad.

Wei Hong, the head combat instructor for Xitong 749’s hand-to-hand division—not a mere coach, but the head.

His status in Xitong 749 was equivalent to Li Xuanlong.

The two were also close friends.

Before this, in a friends-only group chat, Li Xuanlong had praised Lu Ding to the heavens.

Used every fancy word he knew: peerless genius, monstrous prodigy, unmatched in all of time—you name it, he said it.

Basically, the more powerful, the more he hyped it.

So even though Wei Hong had never met Lu Ding, he already had a good impression.

What’s more—this matter had been reported to Yunhai, and Li Xuanlong specifically told him to take care of Lu Ding and Bai Hemen.

So, on the way over, Wei Hong had already thought through what he’d say to Lu Ding.

First, state his stance and identity—firmly on Lu Ding’s side.

Both officially and personally—period!

And Lu Ding had reason on his side—what’s there to fear?

He had even thought through all the follow-up explanations.

Bai Baoce attacked a Xitong 749 investigator, Wu Yishuang—critically injuring a formal investigator.

Thankfully, Lu Ding intervened just in time and stopped him.

Used a tree to block Bai Baoce from continuing the assault.

But Bai Baoce didn’t stop—instead, he shattered the tree and charged Lu Ding.

Provoked Lu Ding.

Violated the Cultivator of Qi Management Code.

So Lu Ding had no choice but to kill him.

Perfect!

As for the Bai Family’s cultivators doing manual labor?

Wei Hong had a script for that too:

Your Bai Family people disrupted the Ba’er Mountain project—doing some manual labor to make up for it, what’s the problem? Huh? WHAT’S THE PROBLEM!!?

But just when everything was lined up...

Bai Baolian and Cha Yuanzheng showed up ahead of schedule.

At that moment—

Wei Hong had already been a little pissed.

If anything had happened to Lu Ding or Bai Hemen, and Bai Baolian got off easy, that’d be straight-up bullying.

But Cha Yuanzheng? He had to get turned into a forest fire-and-ice man.

And the result......

Lu Ding was fine.

Bai Hemen was fine.

D*mn it, Bai Baolian was lying there not breathing or moving.

Straight up KO’d!

Cha Yuanzheng!?

Where the hll is Cha Yuanzheng!!?

What kind of f**ing bodyguard are you, not keeping your lady safe!?

Now this was a disaster!!

Wei Hong swore—he was going to turn that guy into a flaming ice sculpture.

Wei Hong knew there was no point in talking now. The damage was done—what mattered was how to handle it going forward.

But just because he thought talk was useless—

Didn’t mean everyone agreed.

“What the hell are you doing!!!?”

Someone next to Wei Hong rushed out.

Walked over quickly.

“Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused!!?”

Bai Hemen felt—he caused this, he killed the person.

Emotionally and logically, he should step up.

Can’t always rely on Lu Ding to explain everything.

Prepared mentally, Bai Hemen stepped forward.

“I’m the one who killed her. Sorry.”

“Sorry? You think one ‘sorry’ is enough...”

“Guan Long, watch your tone!!”

Wei Hong snapped, face darkening.

He hadn’t even spoken yet, and this guy was rushing ahead louder than anyone.

Guan Long turned around: “Wei Hong, are you really going to cover for them? Bai Baoce is dead, Bai Baolian is dead—once this news reaches the Bai Family, the entire Xitong Bureau’s situation will be shaken!!”
