......

But what he saw was Lu Ding casually taking out his phone and sending a voice message to Fu Xinghe.

"Have the bureau re-make the official seal for the Xiankong Town 749 office director."

As he spoke, Lu Ding glanced at Zhong Fang who was frozen into an ice sculpture: "The one you used is too dirty for me. Since you like it so much, you can take it with you to your death."

As his words fell.

A killing pressure surged forth.

With a loud bang.

The frozen Director Zhong shattered into pieces that sprayed backward, frozen flesh fragments densely nailing themselves across an entire wall!

At this moment, Zhan Tingzhou finally understood why Lu Ding's nickname was called Corpse-Shattering Taishui.

Those who died at his hands were truly beyond any possibility of being pieced back together.

At the same time, he was also shocked by Lu Ding's unrestrained way of doing things.

Previously when Lu Ding said he would kill or capture all the parasites in Xiankong Town, Zhan Tingzhou thought it was somewhat bold but still acceptable.

But now, killing a 749 office director upon meeting him...

This was different in nature.

Killing Qi Refiners who violated laws and discipline was part of the 749 investigators' duties.

But killing other Qi Refiners who were also investigators...

This...

And he was still a director after all.

Was he really not afraid of any consequences?

According to Zhan Tingzhou's knowledge, 749 took the life and death of their own investigators very seriously.

If an investigator had problems, they needed to be arrested first, then follow procedures, review, and so on.

Just killing him like this... violating regulations was one thing.

The rest... was truly somewhat rash.

Lu Ding could see this thought in him with just one glance.

"These kinds of people are beyond redemption, keeping them around is just wasting time. Rather than going through the troublesome procedures, reviews, evidence collection, arrests, interrogations, listening to their stubborn excuses, presenting ironclad evidence to refute them, and finally judgment."

"It's better to just kill them directly and write a report."

Zhan Tingzhou opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

So procedures could be simplified like this?

This was completely different from the 749 investigator code of conduct he knew in his previous life.

Although it sounded quite straightforward.

But this kind of thing, only Lu Ding himself dared to do it, after all, the authority of Great Han's 749 was there.

If others tried to imitate him like this, they'd be wishing for a quicker death.

As for why Lu Ding had such confidence and acted so unrestrainedly, Zhan Tingzhou truly didn't know and was genuinely curious.

Suddenly.

He saw the sand quarry owner who had previously lied through his teeth kneel down before Lu Ding.

"Thank you, Grand Duke Lu, for upholding justice for me."

Lu Ding glanced at this person: "This has nothing to do with you."

The sand quarry owner surnamed Xiong felt warmth in his heart.

His kneeling just now was an attitude.

He understood that something like Blue Steel Sand was beyond his control.

So the loss this time, he could just accept it.

But Zhao Shaolin absolutely shouldn't have, under any circumstances, mentioned his daughter.

Who in all of Xiankong Town didn't know that the Zhao family's young master was a beast?

Although Zhao Shaolin said he had no interest in his daughter.

But given his peculiar personality, once his daughter's name was in his mind, it represented danger.

This was a ticking time bomb.

What if one day this Zhao family young master suddenly got interested and changed his mind?

This kind of situation had happened before with Zhao Shaolin.

So today, Lu Ding not only upheld justice for him but also removed a safety hazard for his daughter.

But this was only the beginning.

The sand quarry owner kowtowed to Lu Ding: "I beg Grand Duke Lu to detain me for a period of time."

Today Zhao Shaolin died at the Xiankong Town 749 office.

The Zhao family couldn't afford to provoke this Grand Duke Lu, but they could certainly afford to provoke a small sand quarry owner like him.

If they vented their anger on him.

Later it might seem like he walked out of the Xiankong Town 749 office gates.

But in reality, he'd be stepping through the ghost gates.

Lu Ding saw what he was thinking.

Although this person had been somewhat cowardly earlier, it was understandable since he didn't know Lu Ding's actual situation. If he hadn't been cowardly, it would have been gambling, and once he lost the gamble, his entire family would perish together.

Only a fool would gamble like that.

"After arranging your affairs, find an empty detention cell and stay there yourself."

After Lu Ding finished speaking.

The sand quarry owner stood up, raised his hand, and with one palm strike shattered the skull of his unfaithful wife, then kowtowed again.

"Grand Duke Lu, I surrender myself. I am guilty. My name is Xiong Xingwen. The deceased is my wife named Shi Dan. Because she was having an affair with Zhao Shaolin and intended to harm me."

"In a fit of rage, overwhelmed by anger, I killed her!!!"

"After the incident, I deeply realized I had violated Great Han's laws, hence I surrender myself and plead guilty!!!"

A smart person.

Lu Ding liked smart people the most.

He found his own reasons without needing others to worry at all. Although Lu Ding didn't care whether detaining others would have any impact.

But Xiong Xingwen's attitude was quite pleasing.

As for the truth of the matter...

Lu Ding decided that this time he would follow the procedures for once.

Looking up toward the back door corridor at a group of terrified Xiankong Town 749 investigators standing like lackeys, he said: "Someone come, detain him first. After the situation is investigated clearly, we'll make a decision."

As these words were spoken.

From the corridor, the deputy director of Xiankong Town 749 office quickly ran out, came before Lu Ding, raised his head and chest, and saluted.

"Xiankong Town 749 Office Deputy Director, Ji Zhenghe, reporting!!!"

His voice was loud and full of vigor.

In reality, he was almost scared enough to wet himself.

The reason he was behaving like this now was because Ji Zhenghe knew that he hadn't embezzled much - the big amounts all went to the director.

Although his own conduct and style had some problems, there were no major issues.

As long as he could avoid arguing, delaying, lying, thinking too much, and instead be good at handling people, getting things done, obeying orders, reporting directly, and acting directly.

He believed he probably wouldn't get into trouble.

Lu Ding looked at him, a slight smile appearing on his face.

Although he had been with 749 for quite some time, he would still smile at 749's distinctive characteristics.

In the Third Circle, the main bureau directors were all-capable and all-competent, while deputy directors couldn't distinguish between humans and animals.

Now in the Second Circle, although Lu Ding didn't understand the situation outside.

But the characteristic of this new city was that main bureau directors embezzled everything and wanted everything, while deputy directors ate chaff and vegetables.

It was really something else.

Lu Ding gestured with his chin: "Detain him."

Ji Zhenghe shouted loudly: "YES!!!!"

He went up and with a slap pressed down the sand quarry owner.

Although it was acting, the acting had to be complete.

Lu Ding flew forward, his body always maintaining a hover ten centimeters above the ground.

Without the slightest attachment.

Zhan Tingzhou quickly followed.

"Zhao Shaolin's death is a small matter, and the Zhao family isn't worth fearing either, but his uncle Yu Xiao doted very much on his nephew Zhao Shaolin."

"Yu Xiao has an unpredictable personality, ruthless and cunning. Zhao Shaolin's personality was even more like him than his own biological son. We..."

Zhan Tingzhou didn't know about the incident in the White Ridge 749 interrogation room where Yu Xiao killed his own son to entertain Lu Ding.

What he knew was that in his previous life, when Chen Yan and Zhao Shaolin had a conflict, they schemed against each other, and finally Zhao Shaolin was outmaneuvered and ended up half-paralyzed.

Later, after beating the young one came the old ones, and because of this incident, Chen Yan fell out with the Zhao family. But because Chen Yan knew a high-ranking female investigator from Path of Dry Bones 749.

The Zhao family couldn't touch him.

However, the Zhao family swallowed their anger.

Zhao Shaolin's mother then went to find Zhao Shaolin's uncle Yu Xiao. At that time, Yu Xiao caused massive upheaval to avenge his nephew.

Even Path of Dry Bones 749 didn't give him face.

It was also this incident that made Zhan Tingzhou know that Yu Xiao doted very much on this nephew of his.

But that was before - Yu Xiao dared to challenge Path of Dry Bones 749 because the Yu family wasn't under Path of Dry Bones' jurisdiction.

Now though...

Hearing Zhan Tingzhou's words, Lu Ding stopped his forward flight.

"You just reminded me."

As he spoke.

Lu Ding took out his phone, found the contact information Yu Xiao had left previously, and sent a voice message: "I killed your nephew."
