I'm not a theatre god

The moment he heard these words, Zhuo Shuqing froze on the spot.

"Are you kidding?" Zhuo Shuqing sneered, "The Stars Chamber of Commerce was razed to the ground? Lin Yan, are you still awake?"

"Lin Yan! Are you sure?!"

Feng Man clutched the photos tightly, looking at Chen Ling as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"Editor-in-Chief Feng, do you really believe his lies?" Zhuo Shuqing frowned, "Who in Aurora City can raze the Stars Chamber of Commerce to the ground? And even if someone really did it, everyone would have known about it. , How can we wait for him to write an article?”

Feng Man didn't say anything, but just handed the photo in his hand to Zhuo Shuqing. The latter took it and scanned it, and his body shook violently.

"Where did you get these photos? How...how is this possible?"

These few photos clearly captured the devastated interior of the Chamber of Commerce, with twisted buildings, strange trees, and corpses all over the ground...if not for the ubiquitous Stars Chamber of Commerce logo and the towering door. , Zhuo Shuqing could hardly identify where this was.

When he went to the Stars Chamber of Commerce a week ago, it was not like this.

"Of course the photos were taken." Chen Ling said calmly, "Before this, I had been investigating cases related to organ trading, and along the way I discovered that Qunxing Chamber of Commerce was a major suspect. Last night, I was trying to take advantage of the dark moon and high winds. When I sneaked into it, I found that it had become like this..."

Zhuo Shuqing stared blankly at the photo in his hand, still unable to accept this fact, as motionless as a sculpture.

"If it's really what you said, why didn't you go find the law enforcer immediately?" Feng Man stared at Chen Ling, as if he wanted to see through him completely.

Chen Ling smiled, pushed up her half-rimmed glasses, and answered slowly:

"If we let everyone know immediately, other media, large and small, will inevitably become our competitors. We will not have an advantage in terms of timeliness of news...and if everyone knows something, how can it be regarded as 'big news' ?”

As soon as these words came out, the whole office fell silent.

Zhuo Shuqing's eyes were full of shock when he looked at Chen Ling, while Feng Man's eyes flashed and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Actually, I didn't notify the law enforcers, and I just wanted to delay the newspaper as much as possible, so I came over overnight last night to prepare the article... But I didn't expect that no one would notice after a night,

It seems that God is on our "Aurora Daily" side, isn't it? "

Chen Ling shrugged.

Feng Man's eyes scanned the article again. She took a deep breath and her tone was more solemn than ever before, "Lin Yan, you should know the consequences of falsely reporting news, right?"

"Of course, I guarantee that everything in this article is true."

"Okay, I'm going to stop the printing of today's newspaper now... Our "Aurora Daily" will decide on this headline!" Feng Man walked out quickly.

"Wait! Chief Editor Feng! Don't you need to send someone to verify such a big thing? What if this guy just made it up out of thin air, wouldn't it be..." Zhuo Shuqing said anxiously.

"Of course we need to verify it, but time is running out now. Let's rush the printing first... If the verification is correct, distribute it immediately. If the content is false, then stop it urgently. I will bear the responsibility for the loss!"

"What about the law enforcers?"

Feng Man suddenly stopped.

She was silent for a moment and then spoke again: "I will send someone to inform them...but it will only be in half an hour."

…

Outside Aurora City.

A bone-chilling cold wind swept over the desolate land, and the gray sky blocked the skylight. In this completely silent world, a dazzling light came rushing from a distance.

It was a train with mysterious runes engraved all over its body. The ancient and delicate words were like countless tiny reptiles entwining around the carriage, emitting a faint light. These lights seemed to carry some kind of holy aura, silently dispersing the surroundings. Disasters and erosion... And underneath the train, the tracks made of steel are also covered with these mysterious runes.

This is a train that can travel in the gray world and connect all major realms of mankind. It is like a blood vessel that connects various organs, connecting humans in disasters with each other.

At this moment, in this extremely precious train, a figure was sitting on the window seat, picking up a glass of red wine and taking a sip...

"We should be almost at Aurora City ahead." Yan Chang's face was full of exhaustion.

"After traveling for so long, I can finally go back and recuperate for a while... I wonder how that boy Xishou is doing with the Chamber of Commerce?"

"The eldest young master is talented, smart and down-to-earth. It will definitely not be a problem to manage the chamber of commerce well." Beside Yan Sheng, a man with squinted eyes said with a smile.

"Forget it, these sons of mine are all very virtuous... they fail to succeed and fail more than they should. If you expect them to manage the chamber of commerce well, you might as well expect me to live another twenty years." Yan Chang snorted coldly, "The only one in this family is The one who has some business talent is my nephew, but it’s a pity..."

"Ashan's death is indeed a pity." The squinted man touched his chin, a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, "If it weren't for Han Meng from the third district at that time, there would still be someone in the Chamber of Commerce to share the burden for you. As for being so tired.”

Yan Sheng frowned slightly, his hand holding the red wine glass unconsciously tightened, and after a moment, he slowly released it...

"Forget it, don't talk about this."

"The cooperation talks with the two major realms this time are quite ideal. In about fifteen days, part of the industry can be transferred outside Aurora City. Next, completing the docking in this area is the top priority of the Stars Chamber of Commerce."

"President, have you really thought about it?" The squinting man's expression gradually became serious, "The cross-border transfer of assets is not easy to achieve. Even if a sufficient price can be paid to complete the transfer, the assets of the Chamber of Commerce will also be lost. To shrink by at least four-fifths... Doing so is tantamount to completely abandoning our foundation in Aurora City. "

"Of course I know what you said."

Yan Sheng drank the red wine in the glass, and then slowly put it back on the table, "But if you don't leave... Do you want to be buried with Aurora City?"

"Mr. Aurora's state, could it be that he has really..." The squinting man frowned.

Yan Sheng did not answer, but his silence said everything.
