Chapter 654: Hello, Lord Lu—I’m Your Biggest Fan
.....
Originally, this was just something he said casually.
But Lu Ding took it seriously.
Don't you need resources to make a breakthrough?
Although the Zhan Family was also decent, it definitely couldn't compare to White Ridge 749.
Moreover, he had exchanged the money and other things seized from the raided homes with the 749 headquarters for a lot of public resources.
Lu Ding turned his head and said to Fu Xinghe, "Settle his contributions first."
Then he said to Zhan Tingzhou, "Once the contribution points arrive, you can go to the logistics depot and exchange for things you can use."
"There are quite a lot of good things in our bureau at the moment, you can pick carefully."
Given the current situation, White Ridge temporarily couldn't achieve proper self-sufficiency yet, unless they resorted to extortion and embezzlement, which would be no different from before.Previously, what Qian Jin and the others did was drain the pond to get all the fish, they had no time to maintain the bureau's internal ecosystem.
Now that Lu Ding had arrived, White Ridge was getting better, and these ecosystems could slowly change.
Of course, the local ecosystem was the lower limit.
The upper limit still had to be obtained by exchanging with the headquarters, and after achieving merits, getting approval from them.
Zhan Tingzhou paused. If Lu Ding hadn't mentioned it, he probably would have almost forgotten about this matter.
He was now backed by 749!!!!
Originally, he shouldn't have been able to break through yet.
But once he got the contribution points...
Hey!
He could break through!
It also matched what he had just said.
Words of gratitude remained in his heart unsaid, he only said, "I understand."
"Alright, then you go ahead first, I'll go over there too."
After saying this, Lu Ding took Fu Xinghe and walked deeper into White Ridge 749.
.....
Inside the White Ridge 749 conference room.
The person from the White Eagle consulate was so restless they couldn't sit still.
Lu Ding was someone they had sent up, so they understood Lu Ding's temper better than anyone.
During this period.
They had also been paying attention to what this Corpse-Shattering Taishui had been doing in the new city. It had been quite stormy, which showed that their decision to send Lu Ding up and want to become teammates with Lu Ding was not wrong.
The worth of the number one genius of the Third Circle hadn't diminished at all.
But, they had now offended Lu Ding.
If this matter wasn't handled properly.
Then forget about being teammates or anything later.
Plus, Lu Ding had just wiped out the Tai Island consulate, they were truly afraid they would receive the same treatment.
After all, when this person got serious, the consequences were somewhat severe.
Just as this person from the White Eagle consulate couldn't help but let their thoughts run wild.
The door was pushed open.
Lu Ding walked in from outside.
The man instantly stood up: "Grand Duke Lu."
Lu Ding nodded and walked to the head seat and sat down.
This person continued: "Apologies, Grand Duke Lu, it was our fault for not managing our people well, causing you trouble. The person has already been apprehended now."
"With just one word from you, we will deal with them as you see fit, anything is possible."
"We hope Grand Duke Lu will be magnanimous."
Look at him, blond hair and blue eyes, yet his Mandarin was spoken so fluently.
As for Lu Ding, he didn't really have any issues with the White Eagle people.
From the time he ascended to the Second Circle, even before reaching the new city, the White Eagle's conduct had shown signs of restraint.
After he arrived here.
The White Eagle had managed their people even more strictly, there wasn't a single excessive action.
So, Lu Ding didn't want to pick on them either.
He said: "Did you know previously that the people from the Tai Island consulate were conducting human experiments?"
The White Eagle representative instantly broke out in a cold sweat, the pressure was overwhelming.
"Y... yes, Grand Duke Lu."
Responding, he hurriedly explained: "But we did not participate. Previously, Saika Maki from the Tai Island consulate wanted to cooperate with us, but we looked down on what they were researching."
"The reason we didn't report it, or do anything, this... was a decision made by the previous Consul General."
"But rest assured, Grand Duke Lu, the previous Consul General was already replaced on the very day you arrived in the new city."
"The current Consul General is dealing with the mess left by the previous one, so he couldn't come to see you in person. He entrusted me to apologize to you, we are truly sorry."
What kind of person a consul who had been rooted in the new city for a long time was, need not be said, after all, even the new city's 749 was so rotten.
Therefore, the White Eagle higher-ups, to prevent unpleasant interactions with Lu Ding, decisively replaced their own consul in the new city.
New person, new atmosphere;
Lu Ding was new, they were also new.
And they replaced him with a truly good person in the real sense, even his exclusive weapon was a large cross, a holy father type, but not a pushover, one who knew his limits.
Upon hearing this.
Lu Ding was somewhat surprised.
However, replacing people was one thing, he might be a bit gentler towards his own people.
As long as it wasn't serious, then the past was the past, and the present was the present.
As for others though.....
The accounts still had to be settled.
"So, you sent him away to avoid the storm?"
That person hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, no, he was directly imprisoned. His sins are heavy, he must face judgment. Our current Consul General is both dealing with his mess and collecting evidence of his crimes."
"To be dealt with together later."
"The judgment result will be publicly announced. My personal guess is it should be the death penalty."
Saying this, he felt it wasn't enough: "I'll go back and file a report, apply to have the execution location set in the new city. We invite Grand Duke Lu to attend and witness when the time comes."
Perfect, flawless.
No fault could be found.
Footsteps came from outside the door, recognizable by their sound.
It was Fu Xinghe.
Lu Ding stood up: "Alright, then let's handle it this way for now. As for the person who restored the surveillance, if he himself has no issues, just let him go. He didn't know it was me. If he himself has problems, then deal with him as appropriate."
To put it plainly, the other party was normally earning money and doing their job, following normal procedures.
It wasn't illegal.
The White Eagle representative bowed and nodded: "Good, good, good. You go ahead and attend to your business, you go ahead."
Lu Ding walked out of the conference room, looked at Fu Xinghe waiting to the side and asked: "What's up?"
"Just now, a Fourth Restriction cultivator came to the report reception hall to file a report, saying he wants to see you."
A Fourth Restriction cultivator filing a report, and coming in person at that, this was quite rare.
This was also the reason Fu Xinghe came over personally.
Lu Ding became interested, perhaps it was a big case.
"Alright, I'll go see what this is about."
He was busy from morning till night, one thing after another, all matters.
Apart from the cleanup of the Path of Dry Bones, which Qian Jin could lead people to handle, everything else required Lu Ding's personal appearance.
Watching this, Fu Xinghe couldn't help but sigh with admiration.
Brother Lu truly lived up to being the 749 model worker!
He must learn from him.
.....
White Ridge 749 Report Reception Hall.
Qin Jinghao held a paper cup containing tea, taking small sips to suppress the nervousness in his heart about facing his idol directly, while also surveying the environment of the report reception hall.
Watching the 749 investigators coming and going.
Although it was very ordinary.
But with the shoulder insignias pinned on and the uniforms worn, he found them incredibly handsome no matter how he looked.
He was even fantasizing in his mind about how he would look wearing this uniform and the shoulder insignias.
His eyes swept over each 749 investigator.
Suddenly, a figure dressed in scholar-warrior sleeves entered his peripheral vision.
Qin Jinghao shot to his feet.
Facing the approaching Lu Ding, holding his tea, he walked over with even quicker steps to greet him.
Although during the time he came and waited, he had rehearsed the scene of their meeting countless times.
He had thought about how he should open, how to state his complaint, how to lead the way, how to recommend himself.
But now that they were truly meeting, he became somewhat stammering.
"Gr... Grand Duke Lu, hello, I am your idol......"
