2084

In the darkness, Ling Yan could only sigh.

Perhaps in Su Xian's eyes, power can reshape many things, as if he and Liu Song could do it with just one look and one wave of hand.

Actually not, he is used to seeing celebrities and dignitaries, big businessmen, so many people, he has never seen any of them who can do whatever they want with power and money.

All sentient beings are suffering. There may be differences in the taste of bitterness, but the degree is not different.

Everything is going in a good direction.

Experts jointly issued a statement saying that short-term exposure to the leaked pollution will not cause much harm to the human body. In addition, Baishui Port has a large tidal range, fast ebb tide, and strong seawater purification capabilities. With the efforts of rescuers, it is expected to reach the standard within a week.

The media is thriving, saying that the problem has been seen, and accountability has been said, praising the quick response of the capital, the head of the district facing the crisis, the common people forming a joint force, and the people of the whole country tide over the difficulties together.

But Ling Yan understood that the so-called "correction" and the so-called seriousness of the problem were actually handled lightly.

Tuesday was supposed to be the last issue of "Reading the World".

When the sun was setting in the evening, Ling Yan and Lei Nuo made an appointment to go out to have a light meal before returning to the live broadcast, but they didn't expect to be rushed by a group of six or seven people as soon as they walked down the steps.Ling Yan was taken aback, and Lei Nuo subconsciously raised his arms to protect him, thinking he had encountered some criminal.

Who knows that when the two of them took a closer look, they immediately knew that they were being overwhelmed.They were all weather-beaten and suffering faces. When they called "Mr. Ling" and stopped them eagerly and fearlessly, it was just because of a moment of excitement.

Ling Yan pushed Lei Nuo's hand away, took a step closer to them, and asked what's wrong as kindly and gently as possible.

These people obviously had distressed faces, but when Ling Yan said a word, they seemed to see a Bodhisattva who was finally willing to pay attention to them, their eyes lit up, and they smiled at him flatteringly.

A 40-year-old man spoke first, and hurriedly said that they were all from District III, and their village was near Baishui Port.

He nodded and bowed to Ling Yan, as if his back couldn't straighten up, wrinkled his dark face, and said word by word, begging Councilor Ling to give them justice.

Ling Yan subconsciously took a step back.

The man seemed to be afraid that Ling Yan, a godlike figure, would not listen to his appeal, he grabbed Ling Yan's hand awkwardly and without hesitation, as if grasping the last straw.His hands felt like sandpaper, the backs of his hands were dark, and the meridians were protruding. The handshake gesture was shockingly clumsy. Ling Yan couldn't bear to pull out his handshake.

I just heard the man say, "The villagers in District III can't live anymore. Several fishermen have been hospitalized. The doctor's initial test results said that it was double lung infection, suspected of gas poisoning. They went to the government for help, but the government said that the media reported After reading the manuscript, the disease has nothing to do with polluted water—but it has something to do with the water. All the fish died. My father felt sorry for the family property. Living in the ICU, I spent thousands of dollars every day. I really couldn’t afford it. I was transferred to the general ward. The next day, the district chief’s people came to condolences and told the media that our condition has improved... Now someone is sent to the hospital. For those people, the doctor will not provide the test report or the laboratory test report, saying that we will wait for a while, and let us keep quiet, otherwise the medical insurance will not be reimbursed.

"The pregnant women in the village went back to their natal homes the next day, but the fog was still spreading, and the children kept vomiting and dizzy at school, but the Education Bureau refused to suspend classes, and the leaked oil was not cleaned up, but it was not allowed to say that the children who went to school in other places were Post something on the Internet, and the police will visit the parents the next day, threatening our baby, talking nonsense will cause panic.

"Our district chief came to our village on purpose to do work. He said that the factory area had been mixed for a long time and was not in compliance with the regulations. He asked us to move. However, the pharmaceutical factory was only built in the past ten years, but we have lived here for several lifetimes. The factory area is not up to standard. Why didn’t you say it was illegal when it was built? We have lived by the sea for several lifetimes and operated for several lifetimes, and our family property is there. The compensation plan for the demolition proposed by District Chief Ba allows us to relocate, but does not arrange settlements. , even if the money is in place, we can't buy a house, what should we do after the demolition is over..."

These people have the obvious poverty in a small place, and probably have not received formal and complete education. Their appeals are chaotic and unorganized. Ling Yan thought that even if these people contacted his team through the email hotline, it is very likely because Confused expressions were dismissed as noise by his subordinates and ignored.

But when these people suddenly stood in front of him, held his hands, looked eagerly into his eyes, and said these words to him in their native dialect with obvious accents, he suddenly felt irresistible.

To be honest, just ten minutes ago Ling Yan was still rejoicing that the matter of Baishui Port was about to pass.

7 days, only 7 days since the local government formally established the emergency team, the media situation is very good, claiming that everything is back to normal, so what if he knows the inside story, the tens of thousands of people are just a doomed neglect, this time the leak is nothing but It's just a grain of sand unintentionally shaken down by the billowing world of mortals.Ling Yan's colleagues in the Congress reacted even more indifferently than he did when they heard about this incident. Everyone thought it was no big deal, and after just a few glances they could say "let's go." of people, without considering the enormous health and economic crises they face.

Yeah, why?

They didn't have to live like this before. The government built a pharmaceutical factory on their land and kept sucking their flesh and blood and their health. But now the government has decided not to protect them. Let these hard-working fishermen be the victims of biological and chemical weapons.

Whitewater Port.This small place is not enough to be a typical example of any advanced or backward country in this country, but it is so well-behaved, as well-behaved as this group of villagers who came to the capital to appeal to the capital after they were terribly violated and forced to nowhere.

And the Capitol.The most famous building in the country stands majestically on top of the temple in the capital, representing the highest symbol of the country's people, for the people, and government by the people, representing the country's elite, and representing the most free cry of this era.

Isn't it sarcastic?What about freedom, self, spontaneous growth?In the hopeless appeals of these people before it, there are exaggerations, sophistry, appeals for help, and wailing, in short, everything that should be expected, but in the end it is still one, please forgive me, please save my life.What they show is the logic of this world and the difficulties of the weak. They are saying that the world is ruthless, people are like ants, the strong will not die well, and the weak will not live well.

The man spoke with tears in his eyes, and several other people also had red eyes.

Ling Yan's mind seemed to be crushed by a boulder, and he opened his mouth with difficulty, asking if Su Xian asked you to come to me?

They nodded and said yes, and the reporter said that if they couldn't contact her, they should go to the capital to find Councilor Ling Yan.

"Can't contact her?!"

Ling Yan was startled, and after asking, he finally found out the reason. It turned out that after Su Xian gave up trying to persuade him, she wanted to use public opinion to tell the truth. She lobbied hard on the Internet, and finally contributed to those colleagues who were indifferent to the Baishui Port incident at first. Unite as one, but before the things on the Internet caused a storm, she was arrested by the police in District III on the charge of spreading rumors to scare people.

Ling Yan didn't eat that night, so he comforted the fishermen and turned around.

Renault didn't eat either. As an elected member of District III, he probably had mixed feelings when he heard it, but he didn't know how he felt when his life was at stake.The two of them didn't communicate and went back to the office without saying a word.

Ling Yan sat for a while, and then felt that the office was too spacious. He entered the connected cubicle, and lay in the Utopia personal terminal. The chemical identification report that Su Xian sent her a few days ago was completely different from the government report. He didn't read it. , only smoked one by one.

He didn't say death to those villagers just now because those villagers didn't have any skills and didn't force him to say death at all.These people only knew how to avenge their grievances, complain, and cry. They probably vented their emotions very happily. They didn't even know how to ask him for a promise or a solution. Ling Yan persuaded them to go back with a few words.

But he didn't feel lucky in his heart. On the contrary, he felt that he was ridiculous. Although Su Xian, a reporter, was able to criticize with words and pens, she was unarmed. What about him?When encountering this kind of thing, what he thought was whether he could take over the authority and whether he could go further.

He thought a lot in a mess.

He thought that the house he lived in now belonged to his grandfather. In fact, the back of the villa occupies a large area, with luxuriant flowers and trees in it.It’s just that he has been very busy since he moved in, and he didn’t take care of the housework robots, but he remembered that there was a big mulberry tree among them, with a small crown. When he was young, there were four people in the trunk of that tree. Hugging is so thick.

I remember that when he was a child, he was always thrown at his grandfather’s house for the summer vacation. His grandfather retired and rehired a few times, but he still had time on weekends. He would sit with him and read under the shade of a tree. He was seven or eight years old at that time. When talking about backward areas in the book, there is such a translation - deprivedarea - deprived area. He once asked his grandfather why he used the word "deprived", but his grandfather raised his head and pointed to the tree above his head. The tree said to him, "This tree didn't grow here in the first place—it's a tree from someone else's hometown."

He was still young back then, and he didn't know that transplanting old trees was a big project, so he nodded with a vague understanding.

Then added, "But now it's in our yard."

Grandfather smiled, he said yes, and continued, "So Xiaoyan, you have to know that even the scenery we see is transplanted from 'backward' areas. We live in big cities and enjoy endless Convenience and convenient and cheap goods are often bought by others at the expense of their environment and health, and the reason why tens of thousands of people are related to us is because we do not know how many others have been deprived of their hometown.”

At that time Ling Yan still wanted to speak, but Wen Boyuan seemed to have figured out what he was going to say, rubbed his hair, and said, "I know Ah Yan didn't mean it, and you don't know many things, but you have to remember This: We are the ones who take advantage, and we cannot deny it."

Ms. He opened the door from the outside and urged Ling Yan that the live broadcast would start soon.

The memory stopped abruptly, Ling Yan turned his back to her, raised his head, and forced back his tears.

Righteousness met pros and cons, and then he turned to her and said, "Hola, there's nothing I can do."

Perhaps Ling Yan still hadn't made up his mind at that time, but when he saw the online live broadcast, in order to show that the disaster situation had completely recovered, Lou Kun and Baggett actually attended on time in the live broadcast room, and he couldn't help it all of a sudden. .

When the question was asked to him clockwise, he looked down at the time, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I won't answer this question, time is limited, I'll say something else."

Everyone turned to look at him in surprise.

Ling Yan remained motionless, his face unhappily, and he called AI in a low voice, and then pushed the two documents on his personal terminal into the blue screen, "You must have heard about the leak of Baishui Port some time ago, I now have two test reports in my hand..."

In front of the camera, the program director looked at Ling Yan with a look of horror, and just wanted to signal to cut off the live broadcast.

Liu Song stood behind him, but suddenly pressed his shoulder, and made a final decision.

She said, "Let him finish."

I saw Ling Yan's eyes were as sharp as a knife, a face that could make Buddha emotional, so calm that it was almost inhuman.

He said slowly but firmly, "These two reports, one is the test results reported by the media some time ago, and the other is the test results of the Ocean Fisheries Bureau. The former is open to the public, while the latter is made public in a small area and has less influence—— Regarding the notification of chemical leakage accidents and aquatic product testing results, I am not a professional in the field, but I can also see that there is a big difference between the two. The second report shows that there are 65 types of organic pollutants in the leaked substances, and the organic pollution is still continuing. The detected content of characteristic organic matter in aquatic products has not been steadily improving as claimed in the announcement, but has been showing a downward trend.''

Ling Yan didn't exaggerate or exaggerate anything.

The head of District III, Baggett, was also on the show, and he didn't bother to argue with him on the spot whether he concealed what he did to fight with him.

So he was constrained in all directions, and he was powerless.

So he did his best and told the truth.

Then, without saying hello, he directly exited the live broadcast room.

"Reading the World" has never had a live broadcast accident before, and he was the biggest accident.

He took off his headgear, took off the adapter, and stood up from the chair in the office. Before he could leave the office, Qi Siming's call came in immediately, but he didn't answer it and hung up directly. Instead, he sent a message to Liu Song first. Said that Su Xian was detained in District III, and asked her to say hello and pick him up, then hurriedly walked straight to the prime minister's office in the Palace of Westminster.

Everyone has seen that story.In the morning after the storm, a man came to the beach for a walk, and saw a little boy in front of him, picking up small fish in the puddle and throwing them back into the sea.

There were tens of thousands of small fish that were stranded. The man couldn't help walking over and said, "There are hundreds of thousands of small fish in this puddle. If you can't save them, who cares?"

The night had fallen, the ceiling of the corridor was suspended, and the building was empty. Ling Yan took big steps, and every step echoed.

"This little fish cares!" The boy picking up the fish stubbornly said to the man, "This one cares, this one cares too! And this one, this one, this one..."
