Chapter 445 - 445: In the Storm, Just For One Person (5)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This person looked to be in his fifties, but he still carried a swift and decisive aura. The first to recognize this person was a reporter from the official media in Munan City.
“That’s Gao Chuanbo, the leader of Yunchuan Province. This matter actually alarmed him?”
The reporters present had seen many big scenes. However, in a short period of time, so many big shots rushed over in a hurry. This still shocked many reporters. Moreover, both the military and police did not mention the progress of the disaster. This was obviously a little unusual.
The reporters had been waiting at the scene for more than half an hour. At this moment, the cars belonging to the big shots not far away were almost filling up this road.
Something was wrong! The reporter’s intuition told them that this matter was not that simple. Shan Ling, a reporter from the official media in Munan City, was the first to decide to return to the newspaper office with the photographer. With one person leaving, the other reporters dispersed in disappointment. However, there were still some persistent people waiting at the scene, wanting to be the person who was prepared and waiting for an opportunity.
“This matter must be unusual. Otherwise, why would so many big shots come?!” Shan Ling, who was sitting in the media car, was still thinking about what had happened just now. She was thinking about where to start to dig up the news.
What Shan Ling did not expect was that not long after she returned to the company, she was called to the office by her superior. With doubts, Shan Ling entered the office and saw her immediate superior looking at her with a serious expression. “Boss, is something wrong?”
Shan Ling looked at the boss in confusion. The boss did not answer this question. Instead, he asked, “How much news did you dig up about the collapse of Cangluan Mountain?”
This question immediately made Shan Ling heave a sigh of relief. She thought to herself that her boss was only here to care about work. Therefore, Shan Ling quickly thought and said, “Boss, I think there’s something fishy about this news. It seems to be hiding something from the public. We were at the scene and could not come into contact with anyone at all. The police blockade was so strong that they did not give us a chance to dig up the news.
“What was even stranger was that I saw many big shots at the scene. Even the provincial leaders were here. This is very strange. I’m prepared—”
Just as Shan Ling was about to say what she wanted to say next, she was interrupted by the boss. “Don’t dig deeper into this news. Regular reports are fine, but don’t touch that line. I received a call. Let’s not pursue this matter anymore. The incident and the person involved are all confidential. Listen to the official command!”
The boss repeated the contents of the phone call. This quickly stunned Shan Ling on the spot. First, various big shots came secretly, then she returned to the company. Then, an official called her superior. This made Shan Ling feel a chill run down her spine. The more she thought about it, the more her hair stood on end.
What exactly was involved in the Cangluan Mountain incident to cause such a reaction from all sides?
Shan Ling was not the only one who was informed of this news. Almost all the newspapers received official calls. The excuse was exactly the same. There was no excessive explanation, only an order that could not be refused.
All the reporters who had been following up on this matter received orders from their superiors. Some of them were even transferred to other segments. All the newspapers reacted very quickly to this matter. These reporters were also uneasy.
The incident at Cangluan Mountain was definitely hiding something, and it was a big matter! The media no longer investigated the Cangluan Mountain incident in depth. They only carried out some conventional reports.
Just such a conventional report was enough to make the people everywhere in China worried.
“Ladies and gentlemen, today is the second day after the collapse of Cangluan Mountain. The search and rescue operation has already been fully carried out and we have made initial progress. The officials attach great importance to this. All over the country, they also responded…’
This was all the content of the news report, so much so that some netizens who were concerned about the disaster area were indignant online.
“What’s going on with these news media? Why can’t they report in detail how many people are trapped and how many people have been saved in the past few days? They’re always reporting nonsense. I really don’t understand what’s there to hide about such things.”
“That’s right! My father watches television every day and pays special attention to the Cangluan Mountain incident. Today, our colleagues in our company are also discussing. Everyone still doesn’t know what’s going on in the affected
area of Cangluan Mountain. There were no data reports, and there were even very few live videos. This kind of random report is completely confusing!”
Many netizens posted such dissatisfaction online, but some people were puzzled.
“That’s not normal. A few years ago, when the mountain quake happened, the official data was updated every day. Why isn’t there any official statistics on the Cangluan Mountain?”
“That’s right. Logically speaking, the impact of the Cangluan Mountain incident is far greater than the earthquake in the mountain a few years ago. In the end, there are no live videos or official data for these reports now. It’s as if they’re hiding something.”
As the netizens’ dissatisfaction increased, there were many conspiracy theories. This made the cyber police departments everywhere busy. It was also through their efforts that these conspiracy theories were quickly suppressed before they could ferment..
