Chapter 70: He's Clearly Lying
Two of them? He was clearly lying! Ding Youcai's funny performance was disgusting. A wave of anger instantly surged into her heart, and Ivy involuntarily took a step forward and made a posture of confronting Ding Youcai.
Just as she was about to speak, Owen grabbed her, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Hold down, it's not time yet." ”
Not long after, a man who looked like a civil servant came in and informed the reporters of the latest news: the city had set up a special task force headed by the district chief and was on its way to the scene. In addition to directing the rescue efforts, the team also keeps the media updated.
Ivy huddled in the crowd, tiptoeing to search for Ding Youcai. In the blink of an eye, he was gone. When I looked back for Owen, there was no one to be found. Where had he gone?
Taking advantage of the reporters' diverted attention, Ding Youcai sneaked out. Owen noticed his movement and left the board room after him.
Ding Youcai took three steps and made two steps, and his fat figure flashed in the rainy night and got into the warehouse where building materials were stacked.
Before he could get closer, his keen sense of hearing told Owen that there was another person in the warehouse. The noise of the wind and rain was too loud, and the conversation between the two was a little inaudible. He walked in silently, hiding behind a pile of cement.
The first thing that came to my ears was the sobbing sound of a man. followed by Ding Youcai's duck-like voice.
"The leader of the group has greeted me, and this time the matter must be hidden. You must keep your mouth shut now, and you have to endure it if you can't bear it. Of course, if you are obedient, I will give you a million privately, as compensation for the lives of your wife and son. ”
"One million, one million......" the man read silently, unable to accept that his loved one had turned into a cold number. He breathlessly said, "My son! He has always been the first in the exams, he is very smart, and he will go to college in the future." I don't want to go forward, give my son back to me......"
"Phew, dead poor ghost!" Ding Youcai smacked on the ground and scolded: "Zhang Dacheng, let me tell you, if you dare to reveal the slightest bit of news to the outside world, you don't want to leave Zhuhai and Macao alive." ”
Sure enough, it was Zhang Dacheng that Ivy said, and Owen nodded in confirmation and continued to listen carefully to the conversation between the two.
At the time of the mudslide, Zhang Dacheng happened to be in the toilet more than ten meters away from the dormitory and was able to escape. But his wife, children and other co-workers were buried by the torrent in an instant, and now their life and death are uncertain.
"You bastard!" Zhang Dacheng roared hoarsely, "There are at least twenty people buried down there, you want me to shut up? I can't do it, I'll be thundered by the sky, woo." ”
Ding Youcai laughed twice, "I heard that you also have a daughter who works in a garment factory in the city." ”
"You ......" Zhang Dacheng sat paralyzed on the ground, despair and helplessness completely crushed him. He could no longer speak, and cried bitterly with his head in his hands.
The scene in front of him reminded Owen of the past that he couldn't bear to look back on, and the long-lost sense of justice hit his chest.
He activates the chip in his cornea, records everything in front of him, and the video is instantly transmitted to Lillian over the network, and she knows what to do.
Heavy rain poured down from the dark sky, and the sea below the mountain was rough, and the huge waves six or seven meters high were like roaring beasts, crashing into the reef on the shore more and more violently.
Ivy waited anxiously at the door of the temporary headquarters' board room. About twenty minutes later, a familiar figure appeared in front of me. She immediately greeted her and eagerly asked, "Where have you been?"
Owen shook the rain off his raincoat and was about to explain, when he was interrupted by an abrupt greeting.
"Ivy, what are you doing?"
Owen and Ivy turned around at the same time, only to see Hu Ziyue and Datou standing behind them wearing wet raincoats.
"Sister Ziyue, why are you here?" asked Ivy in some surprise.
"This kind of big scene, how can you do it without me? You did a terrible job of connecting just now, and Director Liu was criticized by the leader, so he sent me to rush over to suppress the formation. Hu Ziyue said nonsense.
Receiving such an evaluation, Ivy pleaded aggrievedly: "At that time, the time was very tight, the scene was chaotic, and the command refused to disclose the situation, I did my best." ”
"Yes, we're journalists, not gods. The big head stood up very righteously and defended Ivy.
"Okay, don't make excuses for her unprofessionalism, inexperience is inexperience. Hu Ziyue rolled her eyelids, and her arrogant expression seemed to say: Since I'm here, you can stand aside.
"But I've just figured out something......"
Ivy was about to argue with reason, but Owen preemptively said: "Hu Ziyue, please leave the work of the connection to you, let's take a back seat for the time being and do some relevant interviews to cooperate with you." ”
Hu Ziyue's expression suddenly softened, and she praised Owen in her heart for being a person who understands current affairs. She walked straight around Ivy and said to Owen, "Then it's hard for you." I'll take over the press conference and the hourly connection, you ......," she squinted at Ivy again, "You two are at the scene of the accident, keeping an eye on the rescue results." ”
