Chapter 46: The Light That Illuminates the Darkness

After the two phone calls were made, Yan Xiao felt that the sullen breath in his heart was slightly relieved.

Because the news he wanted to do was killed for no reason, for two days in a row, Yan Xiao felt so aggrieved that he couldn't do anything, let alone find a new topic.

was angry, so he called Yang Jie and Li Wen, two old friends, after work one day, to make an appointment for dinner, so that she could have someone pour bitter water.

was nesting on the chair in the dining room in a daze, the door of the private room was pushed open, Yang Jie walked in with a gust of cold wind, threw the bag in his hand to the chair in the corner, and walked over at Yan Xiao, who was looking up at her.

"What's wrong chick? How sad is it that you haven't seen you for a few days? Is that what I think? Pinching Yan Xiao's face, Yang Jie asked with a smile.

Before he could say anything, the door of the private room opened again, and Li Wen walked in behind the waiter.

After each of them sat down, Yanxiao began to beckon the waiter on the side to bring the pot base and soup stock that had been selected.

"Wow! It's so cold today, it's so suitable for eating hot pot! Bringing a bowl of steaming soup to herself, Yang Jie took a large sip exaggeratedly and let out a satisfied sigh.

"How did you choose a private room today? Aren't we usually eating directly in the hall? Looking around at the small and delicate room, Li Wen asked casually.

Picked up the spoon and took a sip of it, the heat was thick, Yan smiled and drooped his eyes, and replied weakly, "Because I'm not happy!" ”

At this time, the two people on the opposite side looked at each other.

"What's wrong? What's upset? The small soup bowl has seen the bottom, put down the spoon in his hand, Yang Jie held her cheeks and looked at Yan Xiao with a serious face.

Just as he was about to speak, a waiter pushed the door and walked in, put a plate of fresh and clean vegetables and meat on the table, and then pushed the door again and left.

put the ingredients into the pot where the soup was boiled one by one, and Yan Xiaocai sat back in his chair and told the story of the news being killed.

"You say that the pollution of such a big factory is there, but no one cares about it, not only does no one take care of it, but no one else is allowed to take care of it." After finishing speaking, Yan Xiao only felt that his chest seemed to be more blocked.

"And what are you going to do?" As soon as Yan Xiao's words fell, Yang Jie threw the question over with burning eyes.

Hearing Yang Jie's question, Yan Xiao hesitated and shook his head, "I don't know either...... But I want to keep looking. ”

After speaking, he turned his head and asked Li Wen, who was just listening to them silently but never made a sound, "Squad leader?" What do you think? Also, you are well-connected, do you know what kind of person Song Wei, the ruler of Xinyuan, is? ”

Li Wen groaned, and did not directly answer Yanxiao's question, but asked rhetorically, "Yanxiao, let me ask you a question." Have you had any dealings with Xinyuan? Or have there been any unpleasant stories? ”

was really a little baffled by Li Wen's question, and shook his head like a rattle with a smile, "No." How can you ask that? ”

"You asked me to help you check the parties of a case before, although you told me that you just wanted to find some materials, but I have carefully read this case file. It was a brawl that happened at the Xinyuan Chemical Factory, and the official record was that the person who injured the person was a mentally ill person, and the person who was injured was two reporters from the daily newspaper where you worked, one of whom was named Jian Sang. Right? ”

Seeing Li Wen say the name unhurriedly and thoughtfully, Yan Xiao couldn't help but swallow his saliva before nodding reluctantly.

"Jian San? Why does this name sound so familiar? Yang Jie couldn't help but mutter.

"That's right, Jian Shang, former name: Jian Sang. Eight years ago, he graduated from a prestigious local university and then worked as a journalist in a daily newspaper. Two years later, he and another reporter, Gao Yi, had a clash with the security guard after sneaking into the Xinyuan Chemical Factory and being discovered, causing one of the security guards with mental illness to go crazy on the spot, one of the two reporters was seriously injured and did not wake up, and the other, now Jian Shang, was fired by the newspaper. A week later, his father, Jian Yangshan, and his mother, Jiang Yunfei, were on their way from their son's residence to the airport when they were stopped by an overloaded truck, killing their mother Jiang Yunfei on the spot, and their father, Jian Yangshan, died after being taken to the hospital, along with a taxi driver. Jian Sang was also in the car at that time, and due to his mother's cover, Jian Sang was lucky to escape. The driver who caused the accident was a transport driver of Xinyuan Chemical, and the offender said that he was too sleepy and yawned when he passed the intersection on the way to the accident, and it was too late to step on the brakes when he saw the taxi on the opposite side. Since then, Jian Sang has disappeared until he appeared again under the name of Jian Shang in the past two years, and the professional information registered at the police station has also become a freelance photographer. ”

After saying this long paragraph, as if he was thirsty, Li Wen picked up the cup in his hand and took a sip of water, before he looked at the stunned Yanxiao again and asked, "Yanxiao, what are you doing?" In other words, what does Jian Shang want to do? ”

had no time to pay attention to Yang Jie, who was also stunned, and Yan Xiao only felt that his mind was as messy as if he had been seen through. She forced herself to calm down, sorted out her thoughts again, and glanced at the expressions of the two people opposite, either scrutinizing or curious, before relenting, "That's right, Jian Shang is Jian Sang." ”

Then he told him what happened to the factory six years ago, the reason for his dismissal, and the truth about the murder of his parents.

Until, the expressions of the two people on the other side changed from disbelief to shock.

"Ahem...... Yao Wenhai? Our Yao ......? ”

Silently swallowing the hot word representing identity, Yang Jie asked in a low voice, with a look of disbelief.

Seeing Yan Xiao and nodded, Yang Jie simply closed her mouth and leaned back on the chair with her arms folded, not knowing what to ask at all.

Li Wen on the side spoke again at this time, "Yanxiao, are you sure this matter is true?" It's not something to joke about. ”

Yanxiao was a little anxious, "Who would joke about this kind of thing?" Uncle is the one who experienced the whole thing, he told me personally, I know that he wants revenge, but the other party is too strong, only one hand covers the sky, although he can't do anything, but he has always adhered to his own creed and principles, and tried not to break the law and do things that hurt others. Moreover, he first appeared in Xinyuan, and he also went for the matter of Xinyuan pollution. ”

"So, you also want to do this news now, do you want to complete the unfinished business for him?" Yang Jie couldn't help but speak again.

Yan Xiao shook his head, "No, you don't know, when I went to that village, there was a smell of it. The house I went to, the old man was very serious lung cancer, very painful, and coughing up blood, it looked very scary, really. His daughter-in-law told me that many elderly people in several surrounding villages were suffering from this disease, and many children had coughs and nosebleeds at a young age. I thought, why didn't anyone help them? The chimney of the chemical plant stands tall there, emitting so many toxic gases every day, why is it that no one stops it? I'm a journalist who writes and reviews articles every day, why can't I speak up for them......"

The sound of laughter gradually subsided, and in the small private room, except for the "coo" sound of the pot on the table, there was only silence left.

Yanxiao turned her head to look out the window, as night fell, there were a few street lamps on the street, and the hot air coming out of the pot was pouring all the way onto the cold window pane, turning into a misty vapor. The dim light on the side of the road came in, turning into a blurry golden yellow on the windowsill.

"Laugh!" Yang Jie's somewhat hesitant and more determined voice suddenly sounded in the private room, she straightened up from the wide and comfortable chair, as if she had made up her mind, and slowly spoke, "Yanxiao, my platform may be able to help you." ”

Upon hearing this, both Yanxiao and Li Wen looked up at her at the same time. Yang Jie's self-media platform has been in business for half a year, Xu is indeed talented in this area, coupled with Yang Jie's hard work, today's platform, whether in terms of traffic or communication, has considerable influence.

"Do you know what you're talking about? Yang Jie, not to mention whether Yanxiao can be checked, even if it can be checked, if your platform is on the news of Yanxiao, if you don't get it right, the platform you worked hard for will be blocked, and it is very likely that you will be subjected to malicious retaliation from the other party. Li Wen felt at the moment that these two women were simply crazy.

"So what? Why did we choose this industry in the first place? Squad leader, have you forgotten? Yang Jie turned her head to look at Li Wen beside her with a smile on her face. At this moment, she looks a little bright and dazzling, and her eyes are flashing, all of which are excitement and happy anticipation of what she is about to do. Li Wen blinked, and his hand unconsciously touched his chest, where his heartbeat seemed to have suddenly missed half a beat.

"So, squad leader, are you going to join?" Suppressing the emotion in his heart and the little pride in this friendship, he tilted his head mischievously and smiled at the silent Li Wen.

These two girls, since their freshman year, have become friends with him who talk about everything, and in the four years of college, they have witnessed each other's growth together and guarded each other's growth. Their kindness and sense of justice do not seem to be well suited to this somewhat dangerous industry.

Always wander on the edge of the crevices, and always learn to avoid the darkness wisely.

But they ...... Thinking of these two people's impulsive decision, Li Wen sighed helplessly, hey, forget it, if they insist on making a light that illuminates this darkness, then, let yourself make this light brighter.

Stretching out his hand on the palms of the two girls, Li Wen said in a deep voice, "Pay attention to safety, let's work together!" ”
