Chapter 131 The Gospel Society Emerges
In the early morning, accompanied by a drizzle, Xu Yiqian's secretary walked quickly into the Weiyang Palace.
"Is the Chief Monarch up?" the secretary asked the attendant beside him.
Before the attendant could answer, Xu Yiqian's voice came from the bedroom.
"come in!"
The secretary hurried into the bedroom and found that Xu Yiqian's eyes were red and he was holding a cross tightly in his hand. It was obvious that he had not slept all night.
"Your Excellency, the 76th Army has fulfilled its mission and annihilated the invading enemy!"
"Haha! An invading enemy? Holy Spirit! Why did this happen at this critical moment? Aren't you going to protect Daxia?"
The secretary didn't dare to say anything, he knew why the other party was so frustrated.
Xu Yiqian was basically elected as the abbot by the believers of the Gospel Church, and Gukou City is an important city of the Gospel Church in Daxia. Even if we don't mention the adverse impact this incident has on the Gospel Church.
The hundreds of thousands of "zombies" slaughtered last night alone would have been Xu Yiqian's die-hard voting base in the past.
That's why Xu Yiqian was so conflicted when he gave the order. He knew that once he signed the order, the Gospel Society's support for him would probably not be forthcoming.
This casts a shadow over next year’s general election.
But could he not sign it? If the zombies rushed into Shangjing and started killing people, he would not only fail to be re-elected, but would also be impeached and removed from office immediately.
In short, no matter what decision Xu Yiqian makes, it will be difficult for him to keep his position as the first leader unless a miracle happens.
"Your Excellency, the only thing we can do now is to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible and find out who is behind this, otherwise the same thing may happen again!"
Hearing the words "again", Xu Yiqian couldn't help but shudder, "That's right! We must investigate thoroughly and catch the mastermind behind this!"
Xu Yiqian looked straight at the secretary and said, "Catch the real mastermind behind this, no matter what means you use!"
Xu Yiqian emphasized the word "real", and the secretary understood his hint.
It's nothing more than trying to put the blame on a few candidates who ranked high in the polls. If he doesn't have an easy life, no one else will have an easy life either!
A helicopter was flying along the Jinggu Expressway towards Shangjing. In addition to Zhong Xuan and photographer Xiao Zhang, there were several other young faces on the helicopter.
These girls, who had just turned sixteen, were textile factory workers. At Li Congzhe's initiative, these youngest textile factory workers were stuffed into the helicopter.
Firstly, it was to get them out of danger as soon as possible. Secondly, with the personal stories of these eyewitnesses, the people in Beijing would be able to better understand the current situation of the textile factory workers and carry out rescue work sooner.
Not long after the plane flew, a strange meaty aroma wafted in. Zhong Xuan looked down following the scent and almost vomited.
The highway was littered with bomb craters, and around the craters were human limbs and arms. This hellish scene stretched from under my feet to the end of my sight.
"Sister Zhong, do you want to take a picture?" Xiao Zhang asked tremblingly.
After a long silence, Zhong Xuan finally nodded.
An hour later, the helicopter landed on the helipad on the rooftop of the Xinxia Society headquarters. After entrusting the girls from the textile factory to Xiao Zhang, Zhong Xuan took the memory card and quickly found the editor-in-chief.
Zhong Xuan briefly reported what she had seen and heard, and then handed over what Xiao Zhang had filmed.
"We filmed a lot of things this time, including interviews with textile factory workers. According to the interviews, the source of this disaster is very likely related to the Gospel Church!"
The editor-in-chief listened carefully to Zhong Xuan's report, but his face did not show the excitement of getting big news. Instead, he seemed to be weighing something.
"Xiao Zhong! I have always recognized your attitude and abilities!"
When Zhong Xuan heard this, her heart skipped a beat. If nothing unexpected happened, the "but" would come.
"But this matter is very complicated. Do you understand that the Gospel Society cannot be the source of the disaster?" The editor pointed to the ceiling.
Zhong Xuan didn't understand what the editor-in-chief meant, and continued, "But there are many people who can prove that this incident is related to the holy water of the Gospel Society. This kind of thing is very difficult to cover up!" "Many people? Who are they mainly?" the editor-in-chief asked calmly.
"They are mainly workers from the Gukou City Textile Factory. There is also a Gukou City Councilor who can also testify!" Zhong Xuan said without any vigilance.
"A congressman? What's his name?" the editor continued to ask.
"Li Congzhe!" Zhong Xuan had no doubt about it.
"Very good! How about this, you worked hard last night, I will give you two months of paid vacation, go and relax!"
Zhong Xuan was very surprised when she heard this, "What about this report?"
The editor-in-chief said expressionlessly, "I'll arrange for someone else to take over. You don't have to worry about this matter!"
Zhong Xuan suddenly felt a little short of breath, as if a huge rock was pressing down on her chest.
Doesn't it mean that the news material you obtained at the risk of your life will eventually be used to help others?
Zhong Xuan took a step forward and tried to snatch the memory card from the editor-in-chief, but the editor-in-chief grabbed it first.
A trace of contempt flashed across the editor's face. "I'm doing this for your own good. You don't know how deep the water is here. You can't control it!"
Zhong Xuan wanted to denounce the other party's shamelessness, but after thinking about the consequences, she held back her words. Doing so would do her no good other than venting her anger.
Zhong Xuan couldn't remember how she walked out of the news building. When she got home, she sat in the bathtub without turning on the lights and let the cold water drown her body.
She had always thought that her boss was a mentor and that their cooperation had always been very pleasant, so she had no guard against the editor-in-chief at all.
However, it turned out that this was just her wishful thinking. The news value of this time was invaluable, so she risked her life to shoot and interview, but she never thought that she would also arouse the other party's greed!
No! I can't just give in like this!
Zhong Xuan suddenly sat up from the bathtub and wiped the water off her face.
Just at this moment the doorbell rang. Zhong Xuan hurriedly got out of the bathtub, took off her wet clothes, and prepared to change into a bathrobe.
When Zhong Xuan changed into a bathrobe and walked to the door, she happened to hear the conversation outside.
"Maybe he hasn't come back yet? Look, the lights are not on!"
"Then we'll wait for her at the door. I've already destroyed the surveillance. As long as we move quickly, no one will notice!"
"This is too much trouble! How about we break the door and wait for her inside? She will come back eventually, right?"
"Yeah! That makes sense!"
After they finished talking, Zhong Xuan found that her door lock started to make noises.
Judging from the previous conversation between the two, it was definitely not a good thing for the other party to come to him!
