At first, the venue was extremely quiet. But one second later, there was an uproar.
There were four of them! This was what Mayor Li Huiling had asked Fang Yang to say at the press conference. Fang Yang asked Li Huiling with uncertainty, "Only four?"
"Do you think four is too little? How many more do you want? " Li Huiling scolded Fang Yang and swallowed the rest of his words. Anyway, it was up to the leaders to decide the numbers. As the Secretary-General, he was just a lackey working for the leaders. Thinking of this, he was too lazy to worry about it. He would do whatever the leaders said.
"Facts! We want facts!" The reporters at the scene were furious. Their voices of doubt rose one after another. The atmosphere was tense. Didn't they say there were 10 lives? Were 10 and 4 the same? Could it be that the data they knew was fake?
Fang Yang looked at the venue coldly. He was so calm that it was scary. After the reporters shouted at him for a while, he stood up and announced the adjournment of the meeting. Some reporters did not let him leave. The staff drove them away and escorted him out of the venue. At this time, Fang Yang would not say much. The more he said, the easier it would be for the reporters to find the loophole. Moreover, he had not seen the real number with his own eyes. He had only heard from Luo Tianyun that there were 10 lives. Moreover, Li Huiling did not believe that there were only 10 lives. Everyone was looking for the truth of the data. Perhaps only Ma Yingjie and Peng Qingshan knew the inside story. Both of them were Luo Tianyun's confidants. Would they tell the truth?
Li Huiling and Gu Qingming were looking for the inside story of the data. But Fang Yang did not want to know the inside story. The more he knew, the more trouble he would get. He only had one rule now. If he said too much, he would be defeated. Whatever the leaders said, he could not say a word. He did not dare to say anything else. Moreover, Luo Tianyun did not say a word. No one knew what Boss Luo was thinking. The more Boss Luo kept quiet, the more it proved that the fire was not a simple matter. At this time, Fang Yang had to protect himself. Therefore, as soon as he finished publicizing the situation and said that there were no problems, he immediately left. Whether these reporters caused trouble or not, no matter how much trouble they caused, it had nothing to do with him.
At the same time as the news was released, a new wave of fierce criticism began on the Internet. Before the press conference was over, someone on the Internet had already revealed that the death toll had already been fixed at four. As soon as the word "internally determined" appeared, it immediately attracted a large number of netizens. What was even more frightening was that some people began to leak the numbers to the public. They all said that it was true. Some said that 35 people had died, while others said that more than 50 people had died. What was even more exaggerated was that more than 100 people had died, and more than 60 people had been seriously injured. Among them, there was a group of children from a vocational college who had gone shopping together, and only 5 of them had returned. Sensitive data was flying all over the internet. Everyone said it was true, and everyone was trying to prove that what they said was the absolute inside story.
But where was the real inside story? Was there an inside story?
The onlookers did not know, but they all believed that there must be an inside story. There must have been countless deaths and injuries. The government must have done something, and it must have been decided internally. In this day and age, was there anything that wasn't predetermined?
Hence, a large number of photos began to flood the Internet. These photos clearly showed that they were taken at the scene. Thick smoke billowed, and flames shot in all directions. In the photos, one could see the chaos at the scene, and the miserable state of those trapped. There was a woman whose entire body was set on fire, and even her hair was on fire. There were also two children trapped by the fire, huddled in a corner of the shopping mall, crying desperately. Two corpses were brought up, and it was clear that they were a mother and a daughter. There was also an old man who had obviously suffocated to death. He looked very horrifying.
But did these photos really come from Wu Du? No one would ask such a question, but they believed that these photos were all real. Moreover, such photos had suddenly impacted all the photos that Cao Xiaolin had carefully posted on the Internet. In this day and age, negative news would always be the topic, and the positive influence would always be less than the negative voices.
These photos were copied in large numbers and crazily forwarded, causing chaos on the Internet. President Cao Xiaolin could not take it anymore and began to organize people to delete the posts. The posts were posted quickly, and Wu Du deleted them quickly. Both sides were competing. However, the Internet was a ferocious beast in troubled waters. It was fine if you didn't delete it, but once you deleted it, it would immediately replicate like a virus, and it was impossible to control. In an instant, Wu Du and New Oriental Shopping Mall became famous on the Internet. Just as the two sides were at a climax, a netizen named "Fire Insider" posted an even fiercer post. Fire Insider said: The main cause of the deaths was not the fire, but the mall forcibly closed the exit after the fire, not allowing customers to leave. There was also an audio recording of the mall's staff shouting at the time. Judging from the audio, after the fire, the mall did not organize an evacuation immediately, but forcibly detained people. They wanted to pay the money before leaving, but they missed the best opportunity.
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples, and the Internet became even more explosive. All kinds of news were overwhelming, and all kinds of doubts and angry voices almost swallowed Wu Du.
Cao Xiaolin could not take it anymore and told Bai Jie about the situation on the Internet. Bai Jie did not expect things to turn out like this. She thought that she had withstood it, and that this area was under her control, but it had only been a few hours, how did the situation turn out like this?
Bai Jie hurriedly went to look for Luo Tianyun, but Luo Tianyun did not dare to go anywhere. He stayed in his office, waiting for news from all sides. When he saw Bai Jie come in, he weakly pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit. If you want to drink water, pour it yourself. "
Seeing Luo Tianyun like this, Bai Jie's heart inexplicably ached. This fire really came at the wrong time. Bai Jie was very clear about the pressure Luo Tianyun was under at this time. She was trying her best to share some of the burden for him, but the ferocity of the Internet was still beyond her expectations.
When Bai Jie sat down, Luo Tianyun said, "Tell me, how bad is the situation?"
"Secretary, you know everything?" Bai Jie stared at Luo Tianyun absentmindedly and asked.
"Your face told me." Luo Tianyun's voice was extremely tired. He did not sleep for the whole night, and he was really tired, hurt, and in pain. He even regretted letting Ma Yingjie go. If Ma Yingjie was here, would the press conference become the four lives that Fang Yang said?
Lu Xinbo, this old fox, on the one hand, did not believe Luo Tianyun said that there were ten lives, and on the other hand, he instructed the government to release the news of four lives. What were they thinking? Were they apologizing for not being muddy?
Bai Jie told Luo Tianyun about the news on the Internet, and Luo Tianyun asked Bai Jie, "Who is the person with the username 'Inside Story of the Fire'?"
At the same time, Ma Ningke also asked, "Who is this' Inside Story of the Fire '?"
Ma Ningke was reading these posts in the VIP building in Jiangchuan. After he finished reading, he turned around and asked Ling Bobo.
"How would I know? There are so many people on the Internet, and you are all asking me for my real name. Who am I supposed to ask for it from?" Ling Bobo was holding a bunch of grapes, and he was spitting out the skin as he ate.
"You dare to say that you don't know?" Ma Ningke stared at Ling Bobo angrily. This news was too destructive, and it would have a destructive effect on the next step of cleaning up the aftermath. For the stability of Capital Wu, it was like a bomb of a higher grade, with destructive power. Think about it, once this news was spread, how would the word stability be maintained?
Ling Bobo threw the grapes away and looked at Ma Ningke strangely. After looking for a while, he suddenly realized something and asked, "Oh my god, don't tell me it was me? Boss, is there something wrong with your brain? "
"It really wasn't you?" Ma Ningke sneered, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes. Ling Bobo panicked and shouted, "I wasn't there, how would I know about these things? Moreover, I was called here by you, so I have to think for you. I, Ling Bobo, understand the logic of worrying about whose food you eat, right? " After a few words of explanation, seeing that Ma Ningke still did not believe her, she became angry and angrily said, "Other than suspecting others, what else can you people think about? F * ck, I'm not going to play with you anymore. I'll go back, I'll go back, okay?" She threw the grapes away and got up to leave.
"Where are you going?" The door suddenly opened, and Chen Gang came in.
Seeing Chen Gang, Ling Bobo's anger subsided a lot, and she became more obedient. This was out of Ma Ningke's expectations. He originally thought that Chen Gang's arrival would encourage her arrogance and abnormal behavior, but he did not think that she would be so obedient.
"She wants to run away and become a deserter." Ma Ningke said.
"It can't be, our big girl is not that weak." Chen Gang looked at the female disciple with a smile, his eyes full of admiration. He had always called Ling Bobo 'big girl', which sounded like a father's love and warmth, but he was not a father. In the past, when the two of them were very intimate, Chen Gang would call Ling Bobo whatever it was affectionately. More than once, in front of the students, he affectionately called Ling Bobo 'big girl'. At that time, Ling Bobo was a complete mess of happiness. Later, the two of them became distant, and Chen Gang left the title of 'big girl', as if it was a patent for Ling Bobo.
"He bullied me, when did I say I ran away? Don't randomly suspect others." Ling Bobo complained.
"Suspect what?" Chen Gang turned to Ma Ningke with a smile. He usually looked like an old urchin, and there were few taboos in his words and actions. Unless there were some things that made him serious, he would immediately become a different person. He had a typical intellectual personality, daring to be angry and speak up, open and playful, very carefree and frank.
Ma Ningke told Chen Gang what happened on the Internet in a concise manner, and specifically mentioned the person called 'Inside Story of the Fire'. When Chen Gang heard it, he was not anxious at all, and said in a light tone, "What's the rush? It's most likely Hu Baiyue. Wu Du is so lively, she can't be missed."
"Hu Baiyue?" Ma Ningke's eyes widened.
"If it's not her, who else could it be? Hey, big girl, when did August come? I haven't had a drink with her for a while, "Chen Gang asked Ling Bobo.
"How would I know?" Ling Bobo pouted, took the cup from Chen Gang's hand, and went to refill it. Her beautiful body drew an arc in the room, and that arc was like a light wave, attracting people's attention. Chen Gang looked at her without saying a word. He knew what was going on.
"Don't worry, there won't be any big waves. Moreover, it's not necessarily a bad thing to start a wave at an appropriate time. The truth is always gradually clarified in the midst of rumors. "Ling Bobo poured the water, and Chen Gang took it calmly. He crossed his legs and sat on the sofa.
