Chapter 35: The Beautiful Reporter
"I don't need any good from you, just be worthy of your conscience. If you want to buy me, don't even think about it!" Zhou Xiaoqin said resolutely.
"Hmph, dead Sanba, since you are so unreasonable, then let's see. I can tell you that yesterday's events were just hors d'oeuvres, and there's a big meal waiting for you later, and you can't be lucky to have someone help you every time. Director Deng on the other end of the phone continued to threaten.
"If you have any despicable tricks, just use them, I, Zhou Xiaoqin, am not scared!" Zhou Xiaoqin finished speaking, and hung up the phone angrily.
"What, trouble?" asked Long Chengyu with concern. Judging from the conversation just now, Zhou Xiaoqin is presiding over justice, which makes Long Chengyu inevitably have a good impression of her.
"Hey, it's okay, it's not the first time anyway. Zhou Xiaoqin sighed. Although he said it easily, Long Chengyu still saw a hint of nervousness in her expression. Under Long Chengyu's questioning, she finally told the truth.
It turned out that Zhou Xiaoqin was a reporter in the "People Talk" column of Tanzhou TV Station. "The People Speak" is a program that pays attention to the lives of ordinary people, exposes and criticizes ugly social phenomena, seeks justice for the people, and hosts justice.
Since you want to expose the ugliness, you will inevitably offend people. Half a month ago, Zhou Xiaoqin received a report from enthusiastic people that a processing factory on the outskirts of Tanzhou "sells dog meat on the head of a sheep", which is actually a den for manufacturing fake and shoddy drinks.
Zhou Xiaoqin spent half a month following up and investigating, and sure enough, she found that the report of the enthusiastic person was true. She was sorting out the evidence and preparing to submit it to the industrial and commercial law enforcement department, and published a special report in "The People Speak", but somehow she was discovered by the owner of the factory, Director Deng, who hoped that Zhou Xiaoqin would destroy the materials and stop reporting.
Zhou Xiaoqin adheres to the conscience and professional ethics of a news media person, and will never give in. The young man who robbed her yesterday was sent by Director Deng to snatch the false evidence.
"If you do it right, these black-hearted businessmen should be exposed, and then let the relevant authorities seize their dens. After listening to Zhou Xiaoqin's narration, Long Chengyu said indignantly.
"Well," Zhou Xiaoqin nodded and said, "I won't back down." Yesterday, I stayed up all night, and I had almost sorted out the materials, and after eating lunch and perfecting some details, I went to the TV station to hand in the materials. ”
"It just so happens that I didn't eat lunch either. As a thank you for agreeing to let me in, I'll treat you to dinner. Long Chengyu said.
"I should have invited you. If you hadn't helped me retrieve my hard drive and phone yesterday, my previous efforts would have been in vain. Zhou Xiaoqin said.
When he met Long Chengyu downstairs just now, Zhou Xiaoqin was about to go out to eat. She stayed up all night last night, and finally couldn't stay up at dawn, and wanted to take a nap in bed, but who knew that she slept until noon.
She rarely cooks, and I'm in a hurry at noon today, so I can't cook at home. The two went to a nearby restaurant. This restaurant is not big, but it is very clean, the table is eight immortal tables, and the stools are all double benches.
Zhou Xiaoqin and Long Chengyu picked a window position, sat opposite each other, and Zhou Xiaoqin ordered the food with ease. Long Chengyu frowned slightly.
From the moment they walked out of the alley, Long Chengyu noticed that there were three strange men hanging behind the two of them. That sneaky look is definitely not just passing by.
And after seeing himself and Zhou Xiaoqin walk into the restaurant, the three people also walked into the restaurant and surrounded the table of the two. It seems that the person who came was not good.
Zhou Xiaoqin didn't have the alertness of Long Chengyu, and at first he thought that the three of them were ordinary guests for dinner, but it wasn't until the three of them had gathered around the table that he realized the consciousness of the three of them's actions.
"Reporter Zhou, is it? Sure enough, it's a big beauty, it's not in vain that we waited for you around here for a night!" Zhou Xiaoqin was about to question, and a strong man in his thirties among the three said jokingly.
As he spoke, he sat down on Long Chengyu's left hand side with a big grin, and sat on a bench with Long Chengyu. The other two stood next to Zhou Xiaoqin, one left and one right.
"Who are you?" Zhou Xiaoqin stood up, hugged his briefcase in his arms, and asked vigilantly.
"You can guess who we are. Hand over your things. Don't think your little boyfriend can help you. The stout man said, put his right hand on Long Chengyu's shoulder, and slapped it twice.
It seems that acquaintances greet each other affectionately, but in fact, they want to give Long Chengyu a warning and a dismount. In his eyes, Long Chengyu is a little smaller than himself, as long as he is warned, he will definitely not dare to do more.
"Take your dirty hands away!" the seemingly thin man in front of him said coldly.
"What are you talking about, stinky boy, look for ......" The sturdy man didn't expect Long Chengyu to buy it like this, and he immediately glared at him, and he was about to get angry.
Before he could say the word "death", Long Chengyu stood up with a "whoosh", and at the same time lightly hooked the edge of the bench with his right leg and lifted the bench. Because it was a long bench where the two of them were sitting together, Long Chengyu stood up suddenly, and the strong man lost his balance.
Long Chengyu hooked his foot again, and the sturdy man sat on the ground with a "horn", and was almost smashed in the face by the upturned bench.
"Bastard!" The two men who were originally surrounding Zhou Xiaoqin on the left and on the right saw their companion fall to the ground, and immediately pounced to deal with Long Chengyu.
In their hearts, they didn't think that their sturdy companion had been thrown to the ground by Long Chengyu. It's just that Long Chengyu happened to stand up, but his companion didn't pay attention, so he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
But even so, their companions suffered a dark loss, and they still couldn't let go of Long Chengyu. As for Zhou Xiaoqin, they didn't believe that after packing up her so-called boyfriend, she would be able to escape as a weak woman.
In the restaurant, the few customers avoided this battle intentionally or unintentionally. Even the waiter who had just finished ordering ran to the side.
This made it more convenient for Long Chengyu to show his skills. I saw that he pounced on the man on the left first, and with a swing leg, he was kicking the opponent in the side of the face, kicking him down next to the stout man.
The one on the right who came later punched Long Chengyu. Long Chengyu dodged the opponent's fist, reached out and grabbed the opponent's wrist, and at the same time grabbed the opponent's shoulder with his other hand, and with a force on his waist, he fell over the shoulder, throwing the person on the two strong men who fell to the ground before.
"Ouch!" the three of them wrestled and groaned on the ground, unable to get up for a long time. Zhou Xiaoqin was so surprised when she saw this sudden change.
Yesterday, Long Chengyu fought with a knife-wielding gangster, and she only saw it from a distance, although she knew that Long Chengyu might have two hits, but her feelings were not real. Now that I saw Long Chengyu knocking down the three of them on the spot, I knew that Long Chengyu was not ordinarily powerful.
Not only Zhou Xiaoqin, but even the restaurant waiter and a few customers who were quite bold and watched from the side were all surprised. They didn't expect that the three sturdy men who seemed to be menacing just now would be knocked to the ground in less than a minute by Long Chengyu, who looked a little thin, with one enemy and three.
Long Chengyu didn't pay attention to everyone's surprised eyes, but walked next to the strong man, stepped on his Adam's apple, and asked in a cold voice, "How many people are still here?"
"This time only the three of us came, as for Director Deng, we don't know where he is now, we met at the teahouse the day before yesterday, and after that, he used his mobile phone to contact us. Seeing that the three of them were easily put down by each other, the sturdy man knew that he had met a master, and his Adam's apple was stepped on, where did he dare not be honest.
"He's pretty cunning. Long Chengyu snorted coldly, borrowed paper and pen from Zhou Xiaoqin, and forced the three strong men to write a confession.
In the confession, the three confessed that it was Director Deng who asked the three to snatch the evidence of his crime from Zhou Xiaoqin. In addition, the three of them also reported and exposed the black-hearted factory of Director Deng that they knew.
"Tell the person surnamed Deng that next time I will come to grab the information and send a few powerful people. He'd better hide, otherwise if I find him, I won't have to punish him without legal sanctions, I'll abolish him first!" After forcing the three of them to press their handprints, Long Chengyu let the three of them go.
The people present, after seeing Long Chengyu's methods, were both respectful and afraid. No one dared to come up and disturb more, and even the waiters became cautious when serving food.
"Are you really a school doctor? Zhou Xiaoqin asked curiously, secretly glad in her heart, fortunately she agreed to share the house with Long Chengyu, otherwise she was afraid that the information she had worked hard all night would be in vain.
Of course, Long Chengyu took out the same set of rhetoric that he had told Su Qiumin and others before to explain. Zhou Xiaoqin had something in her heart, and she didn't have time to investigate whether what Long Chengyu said was true or false.
Director Deng's behavior angered Zhou Xiaoqin even more, and she decided to go back to the TV station after dinner, find colleagues to help cut it, improve the information as soon as possible, and hand it in.
Long Chengyu was willing to escort her to the TV station, but Zhou Xiaoqin herself had already contacted her colleagues at the TV station and asked them to drive the TV station's special car, so Long Chengyu was relieved.
"This is the room key, I may not be home that day, I may have to work overtime at the TV station. You pay attention to turn off the electricity and the door. After Zhou Xiaoqin threw Long Chengyu a door key, she got into the car and left.
Now that the room had been found, Long Chengyu decided to hurry up and carry out his plan to take a medicinal bath with Xiaobaicao Soup. Before the afternoon work time arrived, he returned to the TCM department and began to clean up the medicinal herbs and prepare for the medicinal bath.
Although he studied traditional Chinese medicine, as a modern person, Long Chengyu does not reject some modern methods, such as the medicine crushing machine, which can quickly beat medicinal materials into powder or cut them into small pieces.
When the afternoon work time came, Long Chengyu had already processed the medicinal materials and divided them into two parts, preparing to take a medicinal bath today and tomorrow to test the effect.
