......
Over here, the golden miner was still diligently working.
On the other side.
After Lu Ding erged from the Nowhere Room, he imdiately called Secretary Qiu.
He had already thought of what to say.
The phone rang for a short while before it was picked up on the other end.
"Hello, Lu Ding."
The tone held a fair amount of helplessness, but no bla or impatience.
Mainly because not much ti had passed since the last ti Lu Ding wanted to connect with the Third Circle.
While this was sothing that could, in principle, be done, you shouldn't be doing it every other day.
Could we at least pretend a little?
Lu Ding's opening line was: "I've taken down the Path of Dry Bones."
There was a pause on the other end before a question ca: "How did you take it down?"
"By directly wiping out the entire Path of Dry Bones 749, killing their Bureau Chief and Deputy Bureau Chief, and along with them, basically all the Path of Dry Bones 749 investigators. I killed them all."
Lu Ding said it with utter nonchalance.
The person listening on the other end was absolutely terrified.
Secretary Qiu knew Lu Ding had guts, but he never imagined Lu Ding's guts would be *this* big?
Those Bureau Chiefs and Deputy Bureau Chiefs in the new city region, even the weakest, were at least Fifth Restriction.
How long has he even been there?
And he's already killed a Bureau Chief and a Deputy Bureau Chief?
Wait...
I rember his cultivation level back then... seed to be only at the First Restriction of the Five Decays of Heaven-Man.
How much ti has passed since then?
Even with two Spirit Marrows, this speed... is a bit too unbelievable.
Are you even human???
Silence.
It was currently late at night in the Great Han.
So silence was the Cambridge of tonight.
After calming himself a bit, Secretary Qiu said, "Did you kill them all by yourself?"
Lu Ding chuckled, "You could say Xinghe and I killed them together."
At tis like this, Lu Ding didn't mind giving Fu Xinghe a boost.
For him, this kind of thing was completely reproducible at will.
Moreover, Xinghe had been working non-stop, spinning like a top these past few days, more like a donkey than an ox.
What's wrong with giving him a share of the benefits?
Secretary Qiu: ........
"Hold on, no, that's not what I ant, I didn't... Hey wait, you're treating this as an achievent? Well, it *can* be considered an achievent, but this matter has huge implications. A local 749 Bureau is gone, it..."
Before Secretary Qiu could finish his rambling.
Lu Ding said, "I heard the Dong Family and the Su Family are sending people to the new city?"
The tone on the other end instantly changed: "Hmm, yes, their vehicle is tomorrow. I was planning to personally go confirm their numbers, configurations, and personal information around midnight before calling you."
"Turns out you called first."
"Listen to , Lu Ding, you need to stay calm. You absolutely must not do anything outrageous again."
"From what I currently know, they have at least two Fifth Restriction experts, one from the Dong Family and one from the Su Family."
He had been quite worried originally.
He was planning to go give these two families' Fifth Restriction experts a 'talking-to' later.
But then, after Lu Ding said he wiped out a 749 Bureau.
Secretary Qiu stopped worrying.
And changed his tune to:
"You must not even think about going to intercept and kill them."
"You must not bring Hou Dehai and Qian Jin with you."
"You must not bring any weapons of mass destruction."
"And also, those things I had people drag over to you last ti, you must not use the Law-Breaking Ballista among them, combined with the resentnt refined from the blood of ten thousand souls left behind after the Path of Dry Bones 749 was wiped out, to deal with the Su Family's Fifth Restriction expert Su Sheng who's coming this ti."
"His innate protective energy is most afraid of that kind of thing."
"You must not have Xinghe use the Reshaper to quickly help you refine the blood resentnt of ten thousand souls. Our internal 749 regulations do not permit pulling the Reshaper's blue safety pin to ss with these things."
"You must not go to the Twin Lions Mountain transfer station platform tomorrow, board the new train 6237, and wait until the train reaches the Twin Lions Mountain uninhabited zone to make your move."
This...
What more could Lu Ding say?
He could only say, professional matters should still be left to professionals.
The entire process was laid out crystal clear.
And it probably wasn't a spur-of-the-mont idea.
It was likely preditated.
Because Secretary Qiu said he planned to personally confirm at midnight, then call him.
Now he's already laying out these plans.
Probably because Lu Ding wiping out the Path of Dry Bones 749 caused Secretary Qiu's assessnt of him to be upgraded.
Furthermore.
Beyond these overt and covert anings.
Lu Ding heard sothing even deeper.
'Fu Xinghe... the Reshaper...'
This was a plan to shoulder the bla together.
And because Xinghe was Secretary Qiu's nephew, and also because Lu Ding and Fu Xinghe going to the new city had gone through Secretary Qiu's procedures.
Both emotionally and logically.
Once both Fu Xinghe and Lu Ding were involved in this matter.
Even if sothing happened later, it would be easier for Secretary Qiu to step in.
Have to say.
Secretary Qiu, this guy, is good, really damn good.
Just two words: righteous!
No doubt about it.
But he still sowhat underestimated Lu Ding.
If the mountain won't co to him, he'll go to the mountain.
Once he handles the matters at hand, he'll go straight to settle accounts with the Dong Family and the Su Family!
Dare to sche behind his back!?
Not only will he intercept and kill them, he'll go to their doorstep to kill them!
The main the is bringing disaster upon the whole family.
Isn't Dong Minglong the Dragon King?
Well, since he's the protagonist Dragon King, he should get this classic plot: causing trouble outside, then attracting the villain to his ho!
The only difference is, in the classic plot, the protagonist always cos to the rescue.
But Dong Minglong is already dead.
He can't rescue shit.
Lu Ding laughed sowhat evilly, black smoke even seed to seep from between his teeth.
That guy, it was like he had a boiler burning in his mouth.
"Don't worry, Secretary Qiu, I know what I'm doing."
On the other end of the phone: "Alright, as long as you 'know', that's fine. Won't say more, I've got things to do here."
"Alright, hanging up then."
As soon as the two hung up.
Secretary Qiu turned around, opened his computer, split the screen, and started writing reports.
On one side, a report about the Dong and Su Family mbers going to the new city and being killed.
On the other side, information on the rampant bandits in the uninhabited zones in recent years.
What else could he do?
One is a junior brother he thinks highly of, the 'outsider' grandson his leader favors.
The other is his only nephew, his sister's only son.
Of course he has to look out for them?
Even if this stuff is a bit against the rules, he doesn't care. He's already a secretary, he doesn't have much real power on paper anyway.
The things in his hands were all given by Elder Shui, and they go through Elder Shui's connections. Who told Elder Shui's trusted aides to love the crow for the sake of its master and are willing to give face to Elder Shui's only secretary?
Even if they stripped him of everything, he'd still be Elder Shui's secretary, and people would still give him face.
If they really want to move against him, then they'd have to ask if Elder Shui agrees.
Secretary Qiu had this intention, and if Lu Ding knew, he would definitely be touched.
But his worry was completely unnecessary.
Lu Ding had already attended the Wuwang Nowhere Room secret eting, and they even ntioned the collusion between the Dong and Su Families during the eting.
How could he not record such a brilliant scene for keepsake?
