Ma Lianyun pursed his lips and said, "Lock him in the small black room first!"
"Yes, Director Ma! Kid, follow me!" Xiao Wu showed a sinister expression. He was Director Ma's confidant and knew some of the situation. Today's matter was personally instructed by the district leadership, and he knew exactly what to do. As for the truth, it didn't matter at all.
Wang Ming was well-prepared for this. This was also the reason for his unfriendly tone on the way. No matter how he behaved, he couldn't avoid the bitter consequences. Since that was the case, why not tear off the mask?
Xiao Wu sneered as he handcuffed Wang Ming to the radiator pipe. This was a height designed on purpose. Standing up, he couldn't straighten his waist; sitting down, his wrists would be cut off from circulation. Only by squatting would his wrists not hurt as much, but the downside was that he couldn't rest. What is torture? This is it!
"Kid, enjoy it!" Xiao Wu patted Wang Ming's head.
Wang Ming turned around and grinned at Xiao Wu, "Thank you, Officer Wu. I will repay you well in the future!"
Xiao Wu said disdainfully, "We'll see if you have the chance to get out!"
The room was pitch black, making Wang Ming feel as if time had stopped. He couldn't sleep, couldn't rest, and there was no light. His soul seemed to freeze, and his body and mind were suffering the most cruel torture!
Despite the pain, Wang Ming's heart was filled with joy.
Compared to everything he had experienced, saving Guan Ying's life was the most important. From today on, his life would no longer be shrouded in darkness!
This was a spiritual liberation!
This liberation allowed Wang Ming to face all difficulties with equanimity. The hardest part was over, so what was there to fear?
After the joy, Wang Ming began to ponder the secrets hidden behind the truth!
Young Master Hou was the real culprit behind Guan Ying's victimization!
Yang Yang's career was smooth sailing; the notorious Gao Guo ascended to the position of principal; this Director Ma must have also been heavily favored!
Counting them one by one, they all benefited, while only Guan Ying and himself suffered!
In the dark room, Wang Ming's cold laugh echoed, "Do you think everything is over? No, this is just the beginning!"
"You treat me like a nobody you can toy with, Young Master Hou! You're wrong. The capital I possess as a nobody is more than what you, a rich and handsome guy, have."
In his previous life, Wang Ming had often imagined going back in time to save Guan Ying. He had read countless novels and articles about rebirth. Although an unexpected incident occurred today, Wang Ming still had full confidence. With the knowledge he possessed, he could offset Young Master Hou's family background!
In his original plan, after rebirth, he and Guan Ying would buy a few houses while the prices were low, ensuring a comfortable and sweet life for the rest of their days!
Now, an ordinary life was destined to be far from him.
To fight against Young Master Hou and seek revenge for Guan Ying, he had to do more.
Millions were not enough, and even a fortune of hundreds of millions was not enough. He needed more, enough to wield power in China, to have a chance of success!
This was an impossible task for ordinary people, but not for Wang Ming. He felt full of motivation. In his previous life, he had wasted half his life. Since he had been reborn, he would do something great. As for these enemies, they were just stumbling blocks on the path forward.
Ambition sprouted in the dark room, growing bit by bit until it became a towering tree. When he looked back on this night, everything that happened would still be vivid in his mind. He would be grateful to Young Master Hou and his ilk, for without them, he would not have embarked on this thorny path, nor would he have achieved such great success.
His only concern now was Guan Ying and Cen Wei, hoping they would be safe!
At this moment, Cen Wei had already been convinced by Guan Ying!
She understood that Guan Ying was right; to save Wang Ming, temporarily letting the young man go was the best choice.
Although her rational mind told her it was the right decision, Cen Wei still felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. "Guan Ying, this is too much for you!"
"It's not too much. As long as we can save Wang Ming, everything is worth it. Cen Teacher, the radio station depends on you. I need to talk to Tian Nina!" Guan Ying said.
"Do you have any confidence?" Cen Wei worried, "She won't admit it, will she?"
Guan Ying bit her lip, "If it's as I think, she will tell the truth! Cen Teacher, no matter what the outcome, I have to thank you!"
"Stop saying that, let's act separately!" Cen Wei patted Guan Ying's hand, "We will succeed!"
Guan Ying said firmly, "We must succeed!"
After they parted, Cen Wei immediately went to the campus radio station.
Unlike most universities, Lingji University, as the best university in Lingji Province, had very complete facilities. The campus radio station was once a hot line for students' emotions, a program that most students never missed. It wasn't until the rise of the internet in the 21st century that this situation gradually changed.
Cen Wei arrived at the radio station at 9 PM. During her college days, she was the ace host of the radio station, so she knew the place well.
From 8:30 PM to 10 PM was the peak listening time. During this period, many students returned to their dormitories and listened to the radio until 10 PM when the dormitory gates closed, and they reluctantly took off their headphones. This was also the best time for publicity.
Tonight, the person in charge of the radio station was Shi Xiaozhi, a third-year student in the journalism department. She looked at Cen Wei, who was panting after pushing open the door, and asked, "Sister Cen, why are you here?"
"Xiaozhi, come out for a moment. I have something to tell you!" Cen Wei pulled Shi Xiaozhi to the corridor and quietly recounted the events.
Shi Xiaozhi didn't believe it, "Brother Wang Ming? Wang Ming is the president of the literature department's student council, and Yang Yang is the secretary-general. Aren't they the best of friends? Is this true?"
Cen Wei grabbed Shi Xiaozhi's shoulders and said, "It's true! Xiaozhi, that young man has a deep background. Now the police, considering Guan Ying as Wang Ming's girlfriend and me as his counselor, do not accept our testimonies. We need more witnesses to prove Wang Ming's innocence to turn the tide. I need your help! If you don't help me, I won't blame you, but an innocent person will be wrongfully imprisoned!"
Young people have a unique characteristic: they are passionate, willing to challenge authority, and have the courage to face life and death for justice. They may be immature, they may be angry, and they may have many flaws, but in their youth, they have the courage to risk everything.
This excellent tradition has been passed down from the May Fourth era and continues to this day in the blood of young people, which is why Liang Qichao said that the youth are the future of China.
Shi Xiaozhi faced a choice: to choose justice or submit to power? The girl with a voice like a nightingale said without hesitation, "Sister Cen, you don't need to provoke me. In the first class of university, the department head told us that as news workers, we must not avoid difficulties, not fear setbacks, and not fear dangers, and we must tell the truth to the people! This is the conscience and integrity of news workers!"
This is the passion in the hearts of young people; their bones are hard.
"Xiaozhi!" Cen Wei shook the girl's shoulders with both hands.
Shi Xiaozhi said excitedly, "Sister Cen, I broadcast the same scripts every day, the same songs, and the same old love stories, which make me feel bored. Sometimes I doubt if it all has any meaning. But today, you showed me the meaning. This is what news workers should do! This is the moment I have been waiting for day and night. The rest is up to me!"
Saying this, Shi Xiaozhi rushed into the live broadcast room and said to the director Ye Dawei, "From now on, give me all the time. I will do a live broadcast!"
Ye Dawei firmly refused, "No, the program is scheduled by the station. You need approval to do a live broadcast! Otherwise, it will be a news accident, and we will all be punished!"
Shi Xiaozhi solemnly recounted what had just happened and said excitedly, "I know this violates the rules. This might be my last live broadcast, and you might be affected. But I want to ask, do you still have the integrity of a news worker? Do you still remember the four principles of news: truth, objectivity, fairness, and timeliness? This is the most important and meaningful live broadcast since we joined the radio station, a broadcast that will be recorded in the school's history. Missing this opportunity, we will regret it for the rest of our lives!"
Cen Wei said, "I can vouch for this!"
The students in the control room fell silent, looking at Shi Xiaozhi and Cen Wei. Gradually, the fire in their eyes was ignited.
"Fine, let's do the live broadcast! We will share the responsibility!" Ye Dawei slammed the table and stood up, and the others followed suit.
"You don't need to, I am the person in charge tonight, and I will take the responsibility!" Shi Xiaozhi said firmly, smiling at everyone. She walked into the live broadcast room with determination, feeling the blood boiling in her chest and a sense of mission on her shoulders. She said into the microphone with excitement, "Students, teachers, I am the host Shi Xiaozhi. From now on, the radio station will do a live broadcast. A very infuriating event has just occurred. The president of the literature department's student council, our respected senior, who led us to the national semi-finals of the CUBA, Brother Wang Ming, has just been taken away by the police. Let me tell you what happened from the beginning!"
Shi Xiaozhi narrated the events that took place on the 18th floor of the teaching building in the most vivid way. The entire campus instantly came to a boil. Countless dormitories that had turned off their lights turned them back on, countless students who were lying in bed angrily threw off their blankets, and those who were strolling on the playground stopped to listen to the broadcast.
In his office, Gao Guo was sipping tea and smoking, thinking about Wang Ming being taken away by the police, a smug expression on his face. When the broadcast started, Gao Guo's face turned pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He puffed up his fat belly and ran breathlessly to the radio station.
By the time Gao Guo reached the radio station, the live broadcast had been going on for several minutes, and the truth, as processed by Cen Wei and Guan Ying, had already spread throughout the campus.
"Stop it, stop it now! Who allowed you to broadcast this? Do you have any sense of organization and discipline?" Gao Guo roared.
Ye Dawei put down the hotline from a listener and said calmly, "I am the director Ye Dawei. What we broadcast is our decision. Who are you to shout here?"
"I am Gao Guo, the director of the admissions office at Lingji University!" Gao Guo said, suppressing his anger.
Ye Dawei feigned confusion, "Director Gao, our radio station is not under the admissions office. What we broadcast and how we broadcast it is our decision. If you have any issues, you can report them to our station manager. Now, please leave and don't disturb our work!"
Gao Guo's face turned green with anger. What kind of students are these?
"Where is Cen Wei? Cen Wei, come out!" Gao Guo guessed that Cen Wei must be involved, otherwise, how would the radio station know about this?
"Director Gao, please respect yourself! Otherwise, I will broadcast this conversation live, and let the students hear how you betray your own students!" Ye Dawei said.
Gao Guo's face turned black, pointing at Ye Dawei, "Fine, fine, I remember you!"
Gao Guo left the radio station in a huff, hesitated for a moment, and then took a taxi to the People's Hospital. The situation was out of control, and he needed to report to Young Master Hou.
Cen Wei had already left the radio station. After the broadcast started, she called Lin Hao's dormitory, "Lin Hao? This is Cen Wei, Wang Ming's counselor. He asked me to contact you!"
