Chapter 582 Good Boy, Don’t Be Afraid

"...In fact, I don't think Mr. Ultramarine will encounter any accidents. Compared to Mr. Ultramarine, I think senior Bing Shui needs to pay more attention to investigating this matter. After all, she has been kidnapped before..."

Miss Dailan's extremely pale and unconfident words became intermittent under pressure and guilt.

She sat in the guest seat opposite the emperor and accepted the emperor's verbal torture.

She sadly felt like she was in jail - no, even jail would be better than this situation.

"That is to say——"

The "Emperor" took advantage of every opportunity and was keenly aware of the loopholes in her words: "Do you think there is something wrong with Bing Shui?"

His body leaned back, and his expression suddenly became surprised: "Miss Dailan, why do you have such terrible thoughts?

"She just spoke online yesterday, and everyone should know about it. Now that the matter has reached this point, I believe that viewers should all know about it. In other words, they all came to watch with these doubts. An emperor's talk show. After all, the guest in this episode is you - we all know that there are many knowledgeable brothers on the Internet. And the chief reporter of Tian'en Daily always knows better than all the knowledgeable brothers. "

Dai Lan nodded weakly: "What you are talking about is..."

"Or," the emperor paused, "do you have new information and know that Bing Shui is in danger?"

"...No, I don't know anything. I just want to say that this possibility cannot be ruled out. If everyone else is missing, then Miss Bingshui may not be immune..."

"In other words, you think the others are indeed missing?"

"No, no, no, I don't have this idea... Didn't Ms. Delphinium's mother already said that they went to Sogo Island to get married. She didn't think anything would happen to Ultramarine and Delphinium, and her attitude was very firm. No one can compare to her parents. She knows her children better... In other words... I mean, if Mr. Ultramarine and the others really disappeared and lost contact, then as their mother, she would definitely not have such a calm attitude... ...So I think they are at least still in contact with their families."

"Ah, what a coincidence. I seem to be Bing Shui's father."

The emperor said quietly: "My opinion is the same as that of the lady. So I don't think anything will happen to her."

As soon as the words fell, a canned laughter could be heard from the audience.

But Dailan didn't think this was funny - she even felt a vague sense of fear.

"...So, do you have contact with Senior Bingshui?" She showed an innocent smile, which was the kind of smile Dai Lan relied on to make her debut.

"Did she just go out yesterday?"

The emperor looked surprised and was silent for a long time: "Do you call your father every day now?"

"I-I won't."

Amidst the sea of ​​canned laughter, Dailan responded awkwardly.

"So she wouldn't--it scared me to death. I thought you were still underage. Does the TV station count as employing child labor? Who--the director, go check Miss Dailan's authentication code. She is really You’re an adult, right?”

The emperor leaned his body and looked down. A vague response of "She is indeed an adult" came from the audience. The emperor suddenly made a thoughtful and enlightened expression, and looked at Dailan with a hesitant expression.

The audience suddenly heard louder laughter.

"Yes, sirs and ladies. Good tutoring. Well...that's right."

The emperor stretched out his hands and pressed down on the audience, showing a fake serious smile and explaining for Dailan: "You have a good relationship with your family - 伱, yes, it's you, don't laugh! Be careful that your daughter will not call you after hearing the decision. Call! Every old father’s pain!”

Amidst the endless laughter, Dailan forced a smile. She really didn't find it funny...or rather, she felt a vague sense of aggression. The emperor seemed to be doing a show with himself, but he didn't even give himself a supportive look - unless necessary, he never looked at himself at all.

The emperor was not such an impolite person. He is a very smart and calm middle-aged man...Every word and every move he makes can be said to be weightless. There is depth that can be pondered in his words and actions, and they are by no means meaningless casualness. Sexual act.

In other words, he deliberately adopted this attitude in front of the camera.

Just realizing that the emperor had some mild hostility towards her made Dai Lan stutter a little and made her palms become moist.

Dailan adjusted her sitting position uneasily, straightening her back and sitting up straight in the chair like a well-behaved student. Instead of leaning the weight of your upper body back on the back of the chair as you did just now.

Under the emperor's serious face, but always making people laugh, it seems that there is a pair of ferocious fangs hidden.

She only felt a kind of pressure being forced on herself.

...What is this?

It's not like I made Miss Bingshui disappear... Moreover, why did the above ask me to say "make Miss Bingshui's disappearance reasonable"? She has just been away from the public eye for a day, so it is only reasonable that there is no news!

If the board of directors wanted to hide the facts, wouldn't this actually expose the truth? After she said such strange words here, people will definitely realize that Senior Bing Shui disappeared only one day after claiming to investigate "the truth behind the disappearance of Ms. Malt Liquor" - you must know that this kind of investigation work, one or two It is normal to not gain anything during the week. In other words, there is nothing to do here, and people will naturally forget about it.

Human memory on the Internet does not support them paying attention to the truth for more than half a month. Tianen Group can easily release various other public opinion events to attract people's attention... let alone half a month, maybe after a week if no one mentions it, they will simply forget it. Even if Bing Shui is really missing, I'm afraid no one will notice it for several months, and even if they notice it, they might not bother to forward it.

However, "Dai Lan" mentioned this matter on the "Emperor's Talk Show", so there will definitely be people who will continue to pay attention to this matter - because only one day later, as the chief reporter, he poured ice water directly into the This is clearly unnatural among the "missing" group. If Miss Bingshui really disappears by then, people will immediately realize that something is wrong.

Really, why me...

My ability is so poor that I can't speak well in front of Mr. Emperor, and I can't handle Mr. Emperor's questioning at all.

Why does it have to be me...

Dailan's eyes were slightly red - because she had realized her future.

Now that everyone is suspecting that "Ultramarine and the barber were assassinated by the head office," as the "chief reporter" of the Tianen Group, he stands up and says, "I don't think so." This will no doubt be viewed angrily by her fans as an act of betrayal - and if she fails to get people's approval, she will lose her position as "chief".

From Xiao Liuli to Bai Xue, and then Bing Shui... the chief reporters she knew well had all relied on the title of "chief" to say things that others did not dare to say, and tripped up many great people - fallen A hero, a murderous director, an elf who turned into a demon...

Those are all big names that are out of reach for ordinary people. However, the chief reporter was able to expose their dirty news with ease, and directly gave undeniable and irrefutable evidence. That is always the last and sharpest knife.

When Dai Lan was a child, although she only learned to sing and dance... she once regarded this position as the highest honor.

Xiao Liuli can go from idol to chief reporter - then if she is famous enough, maybe she can too!

After she became a reporter, she began to try to make news for the poor and report on the problems they encountered, hoping to attract people's attention. Although the news she produced was not watched by many people and had little effect... but that was because her skills were so poor.

Later, Bingshui helped her publish an issue - it was also news calling attention to the poor, and she also used her own account, but the news became popular. It even directly promoted the decision to increase the average salary by 20% in the apperception area, helping countless employees increase their income by a large amount. And the apperception area is now her base... many people in it have become her fans and supporters.

It was only after that that Dai Lan finally realized...

What helps others is not the title of "chief" or the traffic exposure, but one's own real abilities.

It was only after that that she finally realized that what was powerful might not be the power given to them by the position of "Chief", but the talents and abilities of Xiao Liuli and Bingshui themselves.

But it wasn't until she actually took over Bing Shui's position and became the chief reporter and came into contact with those secrets that she truly realized that this position was not clean... and it was even more difficult than ordinary reporters.

It doesn't mean that once you become the chief reporter, you can say whatever you want.

She does not have as much power as she imagined, able to expose all kinds of fallacies, and bring order to all kinds of negative social phenomena... On the contrary, she has become unable to speak in many things. Because her weight has increased - she must take responsibility for her words.

What her predecessors mastered was a "secret way of balance."

Because if a person knows too much, he will easily die suddenly.

But if you knew a little more, it might not be so easy to die - secrets have already formed constraints and deterrents, and you can make friends by staying among people who are enemies of each other and making some dirty promises. Only others can have enough deterrence to reveal other truths.

In other words, they were not charging warriors. Just the executioner who delivers the final blow.

Which person needs to be eliminated and which company needs to close down are all determined by the Big Seven. It is the board of directors that decides everything in the world, not Tian'en Daily, let alone her little reporter.

And even just to be qualified to cut off this knife, they need to bear more sins. To spread more lies just to gain "qualification".

But Dai Lan's ability is obviously insufficient... Xiao Liuli and Bing Shui can handle this kind of rules with ease, but she and Bai Xue are both powerless. So Bai Xue is already dead.

It can be said that the countdown to death has already begun when they become chief.

Dailan's personal security guards have guns loaded with live ammunition, and they are always pointed at the "chief" himself. More important than protecting her safety is preventing them from suddenly saying something they shouldn't say in front of the camera.

According to the secret Dai Lan knows now... when Bing Shui was kidnapped half a year ago, the first countermeasure launched by Tian'en Newspaper was not to send people to rescue, but to send people to assassinate Miss Bing Shui to ensure that She will not be tortured to reveal important information that could harm the Tianen Group.

Dailan was very sure that at such a critical moment, there must be more than one gun pointed at her head.

If she doesn't do this, she will disappear like Bing Shui; but if she does, she will be abandoned as an abandoned child... If she loses the blessing of the halo of "Chief", if she disappears Sheng Xiu disappeared, and no one would care about her. People would only rejoice at the disappearance of a betrayer.

But if she rebelled at this moment, the bullet would immediately penetrate her head. The most miserable and unattractive scene of her death will be shown on TV without any reservation, and will immediately appear in front of her parents.

They must all be watching TV now, watching the Emperor's talk show. Because they all know that the guest in this episode is Dai Lan herself - she is a real child who grew up watching this program.

When she was a child, she also imagined what she would say when she was invited one day.

Is it her childhood? Her happy family? Does she hate going to school? Her first love full of twists and turns? What career did she want to do as a child? Fun story about the first time she sang? Her pain during training as an idol trainee? Or was it her clumsy wish that no one would believe?

...Now, she knows.

What she should say is a lie to deceive the people.

Dailan was silent and opened her mouth slightly. Like a fish about to die of thirst in the air.

"I know him, he is a good person. He is also a trustworthy person."

"He promised me that he would give priority to hiring people who come from poor families and those who are uncoded. He is someone who has come from such hard times. He can understand their difficulties and know what they need most."

"Xiao Liuli believes that being a reporter cannot save Happy Island."

"She will no longer be the idol of the people, but he will be the pioneer of the people."

The voice that Russell made when Dailan was interviewing him sounded softly in her ears like an auditory hallucination.

The barber's voice followed immediately: "All those who really need the help of the Fuji Society will not believe the rhetoric of those orators.

"I never understood this truth. It tells the poorest and most difficult people about a future that they will never see in their lifetime."

Immediately afterwards, there was Xiao Liuli’s favorite song when she was a child:

"The darker the reality, the more bright dreams are needed——"

At that moment, Dailan's extremely aggrieved tears finally burst out uncontrollably.

She lowered her head and wiped her tears, and the talk show ended because of this. People pointed at her and talked about her. But the few words she heard were not good ones.

Because she is a betrayer.

Because at the most critical moment, she did not stand with Fuji Society, but crawled at the feet of the head office like a dog.

Yes, they actually all understand the pressure they will face, and they also know that they cannot tell the truth. They were just venting their anger and repeating some facts that they already knew in their hearts... Therefore, their rebuke would only last for a few days or a short period of time. They will soon attack the next target, and they will forget about them, but...

...but I'm tired of it. The so-called "chief" reporter is an empty chess piece, a puppet on strings who can't help himself.

What Xiao Liuli said was indeed true - reporters could not save Happy Island.

——I'm sorry, Dad, Mom.

But I think...

Even if you are as clumsy as me, maybe you can have my own value.

If I could only say one sentence, I would be torn apart...

"——What I just said," Dailan choked with sobs, but said in the clearest voice in her life, "are all lies that the company asked me to tell!"

The next second, the sound of many broken glasses sounded simultaneously in the studio.

Dailan was so frightened that she immediately closed her eyes tightly and waited for her death.

But the next scene is not a tragedy - it is a miracle.

Those bullets that could easily tear Dailan into pieces were easily blocked by the old emperor, and he turned back the way he came.

His old pupils were burning with an unfamiliar gray-white faint light that no one had ever seen before.

The emperor looked at Dailan seriously for the first time.

"Good boy."

The emperor said gently and calmly: "Don't be afraid.

"——We are all with you."

Damn it, I missed the update yesterday...

In the past three days, my blood oxygen began to become low again, and I also began to suffer from heart palpitations and coughing during the day. But there is no fever, no headache, and no body pain. I don’t know if it’s a sequelae of symptoms that started again after recovery, a return of positive symptoms, another infection, or some other problem... Woohoo, I hope my body can hold on for another month...
