Zhang Yang was sitting by the window, her eyes confused and lifeless. The coffee cup in her hand was forgotten on the table. The cooling drink seemed to echo her state of mind.
At this moment, Zhang Yang no longer had the resolute journalistic demeanor.
The reporter who dares to speak the most in Dongzhou and the reporter who can distinguish right from wrong under the camera are all in vain.
In front of the murderer who really holds the power, he is nothing.
Sneers and sarcasm were the last bits of dignity she had left for herself, but this dignity she had saved so hard was worthless in the eyes of others.
Zhang Yang, who kept his head down and said nothing, said nothing more, but for the second time on the same day, he felt a little lonely.
At this moment, I remembered the conversation I had with Chen Shu at a Japanese restaurant some time ago, and my righteous words when I asked for help for the people, and I suddenly felt that I was very ridiculous and childish.
In this world, justice can only be served with blood and passion.
After all, I thought of things too simply.
While reminiscing, Zhang Yang suddenly remembered something. He quickly picked up the phone she had thrown on the ground and looked through it quickly, and saw that familiar figure in the popular video.
Zhang Yang was a little stunned at first, but then he figured out the cause and effect of the incident, and his expression became weird. He wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. After holding it for a few seconds, he finally burst into laughter.
"It's a donation of hundreds of thousands, but you can think of such a damaging way." Zhang Yang suddenly became happy, his peach blossom eyes turned into crescent moons, he threw himself on the big bed, and murmured, "But it's all my fault."
The scoldings and beatings you get on me are just what you want. You are also a ruthless person."
After laughing, Zhang Yang's mental state improved a lot and he decided not to avoid it. At the same time, he also had new ideas in his mind.
She took out her mobile phone and contacted Chen Shu, and told him from beginning to end that Lin Yu, the person she was asking for help, was trapped in the KK Park, and Li Xia's plan to take hostages in exchange for one. She hoped that from Chen Shu, the police officer
useful information from his mouth.
Chen Shu had no better solution for Lin Yu who was already trapped in the park. However, after hearing about Li Xia, he nervously asked Zhang Yang to send him the video of Li Xia's brother being beaten via WeChat.
.
After a moment, a deep voice came from the other side.
"Yangyang, although the call you received was a video call, it is very likely that the real-time video you thought was actually tampered with by fraudsters through technical means."
"Tampering? Why did they tamper with the video? It's not necessary?"
"According to Li Xia, he paid compensation once, but instead of putting the person back, he sold it to the next person?"
"Yes, that's the situation."
"You must be prepared to lose both your people and money. Well, I just discovered that in the video, Li Xia's younger brother was completely unable to say specific words or correct answers to questions as Li Xia asked. He would only keep begging for mercy and saying
Talking about the wheel..."
"Is this?" Zhang Yang was a little nervous for no reason.
After a pause, Chen Shu took a deep breath and said word by word: "The video you saw is most likely a pre-recorded video. It's hard to say what the person actually looks like."
This is actually euphemistic enough. In essence, as a front-line policeman with extensive experience in handling cases, Chen Shu is equivalent to issuing a death notice to Li Xia's younger brother.
Zhang Yang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Chen Shu continued to persuade: "Yangyang, it's the same sentence. In fact, I don't think that with the current large-scale anti-fraud propaganda across the country, someone can really be 'cheated' to go to Burma. Now people in the past have been beaten.
I knew from the beginning what kind of work I had done in the past, and this group of people were just lucky, thinking that they could escape unscathed after going there to make money..."
Listening to Chen Shu's nagging, Zhang Yang did not refute. Just as Li Xia said before, his brother went there 100% of his own free will.
On the phone, Chen Shu continued to talk about the cruel reality: "...This kind of person is actually useless in all senses. It is recommended to give up the rescue plan, otherwise it will bring down the whole family. A compensation of 300,000 yuan
, the other party deliberately chose a slightly lower amount. Because of this amount, normal people can afford to give it a try, but if they don’t let them go after giving the money, they basically can’t get it back.
"Paying money will not make those people stop torturing the piglets, it will only intensify and continue to extort money, because they know that you can't bear the suffering of your loved ones, and there is a high probability that they will pay you. They will not be honest with you at all.
The rules are just profit and how much money can be squeezed out of the piggy in hand.
"You know, after you pay the money and continue to be resold, the person becomes a bottomless pit. The family has to keep paying to redeem the person, resell the person to redeem, and then pay to redeem the person. If you get deeper into it, you have borrowed money.
Relatives and friends have to be hurt. Just cry for a while if your parents cry. Isn’t there still a dear brother here? Time will heal everything, and everyone must take responsibility for their own choices..."
Later, according to Zhang Yang's previous temper, he would definitely refute things such as cold-blooded animals, useless policemen, selfishness, etc. However, after seeing Chen Shu humiliating himself to save his seriously ill mother and daughter on Douyin, she also
Realized my problem.
Chen Shuchun was very arrogant. He thought about the situation beforehand, used the most unpleasant words as a foreshadowing, and prepared both parties for the worst before starting to take practical actions to solve the problem.
And she only has the courage to speak her mind, just like what Mr. Cao said.
"If you have the ability, go to Mianbei and find someone by yourself!"
Afterwards, Zhang Yang called Li Xia and told him Chen Shu's analysis results. In short, his brother had probably encountered something unexpected, and then advised him to stop doing that stupid thing of taking hostages since he was dead.
Well, people who are alive still have to live their lives.
The other person was silent for a long time before replying.
"You have to give it a try. The 300,000 yuan will not save a useless younger brother. In fact, the 300,000 yuan will save the friendship between myself as an elder brother and my younger brother."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang didn't hesitate anymore and immediately started packing his luggage, preparing to go to KM City, Yun Province the next day, and then transfer to the border.
On the other hand, something that was both reasonable and unexpected happened.
Li Xia believed in the judgment of Zhang Yang's police friend, so he gave up his plan to take hostages in Anxi in exchange for one, and decided to follow Zhang Yang to Myanmar.
"Even if he dies, he must be taken back to his hometown."
This was Li Xia's reply after being rejected by Zhang Yang, which made people unable to bear to continue rejecting him.
After photographer Xiao Zhao learned that Officer Chen Shuchen was also at this destination, he naturally chose to follow him all the way. No, he was protecting him all the way, and also gave some advice to his eldest sister with a bad temper.

It’s better not to touch things that you shouldn’t mess with.
