At present, there is no absolute freedom of speech in China, and if a newspaper wants to publish something sensitive, it must first inform the city government, and only when the latter nods its head can it be published.

Nanhongmen is definitely the most influential community in the south, and it is more or less linked to local governments, especially in Shanghai, where it has a closer relationship with the government.

Just one report shocked both Xie Wendong and Xiang Wentian, which may be regarded as the sorrow of the underworld, no matter how big you do, after all, it is a deviation, not the mainstream, and the state can put you to death as soon as it is ordered.

The sedan slowly stopped outside the newspaper office of the Southern Morning Post, and Xie Wendong sat in the car, looked through the window, and wondered if the driver had taken him to the wrong place.

In his impression, the newspaper is very rich, even if you can't make money, the government will allocate subsidies to you, but the situation of this newspaper is obviously not like that, even if you don't go in, just look at the appearance, Xie Wendong can understand its downfall.

The newspaper's ten small two-story buildings are very old, quite in the style of European-style architecture, the main structure is still wooden, the walls are still climbing a lot of grass vines, the stairs are black and red, the original color can not be seen, Xie Wendong estimates that the age of this building should not be younger than his grandfather.

"Is this the case?"

"Yes! Brother Tung! ”

It's such a shabby newspaper that writes such an earth-shattering article! Xie Wendong sighed, pushed the car door, and walked out, until he walked to the door of the building, only to see the white wooden sign hanging next to the door with the four black characters 'Southern Morning Post' written on it.

Xie Wendong took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, and walked in. The Three Eyes and the Five Elements Brothers followed.

Although the lobby of the newspaper office is also very old, it is still clean, and the stone bricks on the floor are wiped clean

An old man in his sixties sitting in the mailroom at the door poked his head out, inspected them, pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Find your editor-in-chief, your person in charge here!" Xie Wendong said.

"Oh! Looking for the editor-in-chief! On the second floor, go left! ”

"Thanks!" As he spoke, Xie Wendong was about to walk in, but the old man waved his hand again and again, stopped him, and said, "Wait, young man, sign your name here first!" ”

Sanyan frowned and muttered, "This old man, it's really wordy!" ”

Xie Wendong walked forward expressionlessly, picked up the pen, wrote a name on the booklet casually, and then pushed in front of the old man and strode in.

Going up to the second floor and looking to the left, Xie Wendong easily found the editor-in-chief's office. He reached the door, took a deep breath, and tapped his hand on the door a few times.

Soon, a middle-aged man's voice came from inside: "Please come in!" ”

Xie Wendong pushed the door in.

The office is very simple, not only small in size, but also very old. Looking inside, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties sitting behind a desk with peeled skin, looking at Xie Wendong and the others with puzzled eyes.

"...... you?"

"You don't know me anymore? Mr. Editor-in-Chief. The corners of Xie Wendong's mouth were raised, and he walked to the desk with a smile, staring at the middle-aged man with deep eyes.

The middle-aged man looked at Xie Wendong, frowned, looked thoughtful, and muttered, "It seems to be a little familiar, have we seen it anywhere?" ”

Xie Wendong had the urge to slap the other party's face full of confusion at this time, so he smiled, suppressed this impulse, and said softly: "I am the 'root of the evil in the north'!" ”

"What?" He quoted the original words from the newspaper, but made the middle-aged man even more confused.

Syllable! Xie Wendong still had the newspaper in his hand on his desk, and sneered: "Read it yourself!" ”

The middle-aged man took the newspaper, looked at the photo on the cover, and looked at Xie Wendong, suddenly realized, hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Mr. Xie, a rare guest, please take a seat!" As he spoke, he stepped out from behind his desk, picked up the thermos, poured tea, and handed out cigarettes.

Xie Wendong looked at the middle-aged man who was extremely excited, and wondered if there was something wrong with his head, so he came to the door. He is not afraid not to say anything, but is so happy, is it in his eyes, the underworld is the same as ordinary people?

Just looked at him with a smile, Xie Wendong didn't say a word. Didn't drink water, and didn't catch cigarettes.

The middle-aged man didn't seem to feel the murderous aura on her, but said to himself: "We are a small place here, and there are people who are not well entertained, so please forgive Mr. Xie." ”

Xie Wendong was almost laughed at by him, and said: "I didn't come here to enjoy the warm hospitality of Mr. Editor-in-Chief, guess what I'm here for?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It must have something to do with this report!" ”

"That's right!" Xie Wendong said: "I want to know, why did you publish this article, and who instructed you to do it? ”

"No one instructed us!" The middle-aged man said in surprise.

"So, you made it yourself?"

"yes!"

"What do you mean?"

"Why publish this article?"

"If there is something to watch, there is an audience, of course we will publish it."

"Do you know the consequences of that?"

"Huh!" The middle-aged man grinned and said, "Mr. Xie won't find someone to beat me, right?" ”

"Haha!" When Xie Wendong heard this, he looked up and smiled.

Chapter 25

(25) Sanyan stepped forward, picked up the placket of his clothes, exposed the qiang, and said with a sneer: "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as beating you!" ”

Seeing Qiang, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly, scratching his thinning hair, and smiling embarrassedly.

At this moment, the door opened, and another person walked in from outside, a young and beautiful woman. Xie Wendong looked back and secretly said that it was a coincidence!

The person who came, Xie Wendong, knew, or had seen it, was the waitress who helped Xie Wendong and Xiang Wentian pour wine in the hotel last night.

At that time, Xie Wendong felt that this woman's temperament was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks, but he didn't expect to meet again in the newspaper. Today, the girl no longer has a hotel uniform, but a casual dress, although the dress is simple and casual, but it is difficult to hide her outstanding appearance.

The corners of Xie Wendong's mouth were raised, and he smiled faintly: "Miss, what a coincidence!" We meet again! ”

The girl obviously didn't expect Xie Wendong to be here, so she couldn't help but be surprised, and her face subconsciously showed surprise, but she quickly returned to normal, her eyes swept over him, and she said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, I don't know you." ”

"Oh?" Xie Wendong smiled, his eyes narrowed, and a faint light shot out of his eyes, and said, "Your memory is so bad, we just met last night, didn't we?" Unexpectedly, you, the waiter of the hotel, actually came to the newspaper office? As he spoke, he turned his head and pointed to the newspaper on his desk and asked, "Miss 'Reporter', did you write this?" ”

Without being introduced by others, Xie Wendong could guess the identity of the girl with his eyes closed at this time.

The girl walked up to Xie Wendong without fear, raised her head, looked directly at him and said, "What if I wrote it?" ”

"Give me a reason!"

"No reason! Since you can do something like that, are you still afraid of others writing it? As far as I know, Mr. Xie is very bold! ”

Xie Wendong frowned, stretched out his hand into his arms, although the girl's expression did not change, but the middle-aged man secretly took a cool breath, hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xie, there is something to discuss!" ”

Xie Wendong glanced at him with a smile, and slowly withdrew the hand that was stretched into his arms. The middle-aged man thought that he was going to dig qiang, but Xie Wendong only took out a cigarette case, and after reading it, he also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. Xie Wendong took out a cigarette, put it on his mouth and lit it on the side of his head, and then looked at the girl without blinking.

The girl's courage was surprisingly great, and she did not shy away from even defiantly meeting his gaze.

She is very tall, although she is wearing flat shoes, she is about the same size as Xie Wendong, and in terms of momentum, she is not inferior to Xie Wendong at all. Whether it is her figure or personality, she is very different from ordinary southern women.

Xie Wendong sighed secretly, and said quietly: "As the saying goes, disaster comes from the mouth, you shouldn't understand this truth, right?" ”

"You don't have to threaten me!" The girl sneered and said, "Others may be afraid of you, but I am not afraid." ”

What an arrogant woman! Sanyan was angry in his heart, and said coldly: "Sanba, are you afraid of death?" ”

The girl turned her eyes to Sanyan, sneered at the birth, and said, "Do you want to kill me?" Okay, let's do it now! As long as I die, things will be all over the city, no, it's a national storm, even if you can stand it again, I want to see if you can still get away with it! ”

"You ......" Sanyan was caught by the girl's words, and suddenly felt speechless, pointing to her nose, not knowing what to say.

"Huh!" The girl sneered: "Don't make a false statement anymore, not only do you not dare to kill me now, but you have to protect me all the time, and pray to the Buddha, I had better not have an accident, otherwise, you won't be able to eat and walk around!" As she spoke, she turned her gaze and fell on Xie Wendong's face, and said: "You can cover the sky with one hand, but sometimes, public opinion can also suppress the sky!" ”

What a clever and clever girl! Xie Wendong hadn't met such a difficult person for a long time. As the girl said, at this time, he really can't touch her, it will only appear that he is a thief, and things become more out of control.

Seeing that Xie Wendong's face was uncertain, the middle-aged man hurriedly stood up to be a peacemaker, and said with a smile: "There is something to discuss, it's easy to discuss!" ”

Xie Wendong ignored him, knocked on his forehead, and asked the girl, "What do you want?" ”

"I don't want to do anything, I just want the public to know about things they don't know, and about evil!" The girl paused word by word and said sonorously.

"So, you're going to keep writing in the future?" Xie Wendong's eyes were crooked, and he asked with a smile.

"Maybe I can write, maybe I won't." The girl did not flinch at all and said: "This is all my own business, whether I intend to continue or not, but I will never be disturbed by external factors." ”

Xie Wendong said: "You have no solid evidence, everything you write is just rhetoric, or even false accusations. ”

The girl laughed and said, "Thank you for reminding me, but I know this better than you, and it is precisely because there is no tangible evidence that I did not directly write someone's name, if you think there is a problem with what I wrote, you can go to the court to sue me, and I will accompany you at any time!" ”

"Ma's" Sanyan couldn't stand the girl's domineering appearance anymore, retracted and grabbed the qiang handle, strode forward, approached the girl and said, "Do you think I really don't dare to kill you?" ”

"Then let's do it!" The girl's chest was straightened, and she looked at her three eyes with disdain.

"Brother Dong!" Sanyan had already grasped SHOUqiang, and looked at Xie Wendong angrily, as long as the latter gave an order, he would shoot this hateful woman on the spot.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man stood up again, and said with a dry smile: "Everyone dissipates their anger, there is something to discuss, it's good to discuss!" ”

"Talk to your mother!" Sanyan turned around and kicked the middle-aged man far away, the latter couldn't stand, sat on the ground with his buttocks, leaned against the desk, his face was red, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

"How dare you hit someone? It's just a bunch of robbers, brutes! The girl scolded angrily, took out her mobile phone, and wanted to call the police, Xie Wendong took a step, clasped her wrist, and said indifferently: "Woman, you are playing with fire, do you know?" ”

The girl waved her arm vigorously, wanting to shake off Xie Wendong's palm, but she found that the other party's strength was too great, even if she used all her strength, Xie Wendong's hand did not loosen in the slightest.

"What are you going to do?" The girl asked sharply.

Xie Wendong stretched out his hand to the three eyes, and hooked his fingers at the same time, and the latter understood, pulled SHOUqiang out, and handed it over to Xie Wendong's hand.

He held qiang, raised his arm, pointed directly at the girl's forehead, his eyes squinted into a slit shot a terrifying forest light, he said coldly: "You don't want me to have a good time, you are my enemy, as long as you are my enemy, no matter what his identity is, even if it is the king of heaven Lao Tzu, I dare to collapse him!" The mistakes you have made are unforgivable, because not only will you die, but he will also die," as he spoke, Xie Wendong pointed to the middle-aged man sitting on the ground and continued: "Many people here will die because of you, and even, you, him, and their families!" ”

The girl's cold sweat flowed out, not because of qiang in Xie Wendong's hand, but because of his eyes, for a moment, his eyes were cruel and vicious, chilling, without a trace of emotion, like a devil who crawled out of hell, like a monster that eats people and does not spit out bones, anyway, it is not like a person's eyes.

At that moment, she was afraid, and she couldn't help but feel fear, as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and a chill was born from her bones.

Just as Xie Wendong's fingers were about to pull the trigger, his computer rang. Xie Wendong slowly let go of the girl's wrist, took out the phone, glanced down, his sharp eyes disappeared, and he glanced at the Five Elements Brothers, and then, walking out of the office and arriving in the corridor, he connected the phone and asked, "Brother Xiang, what's the matter?" ”

The person who called was none other than Xiang Wentian.
