Chapter 224 Today’s Headlines
Yan Shang was a business tycoon who founded the Star Chamber of Commerce. He had a keen sense of crisis. In addition, his investment in the law enforcement system over the years had exposed him to some secrets that outsiders could not understand... He knew very well that if he did not stop at this time, everything would be in vain.
As the train whizzed past under the gray sky, outside the frosted window, a city shrouded in the aurora was gradually approaching.
"It's coming." The black-haired woman who had been sitting in the corner suddenly spoke.
The train roared towards the city wall, and a green light suddenly lit up on the front of the train covered with mysterious words.
A moment after the light came on, it seemed that some kind of signal was transmitted to the Aurora City, and a city gate specially paved with tracks slowly opened;
The train slowed down and passed through the gate, and drove straight into a station set up in the military management area of Aurora City...
Qi——
As the train stopped, the whistle sounded, and several figures walked onto the platform one after another.
"I'm tired of sitting in the car for so long." The squinting man stretched and said.
"Go back to the Chamber of Commerce directly. You'll have plenty of time to rest after you go back." Yan Shang glanced at the watch on his wrist, turned to the man and the woman and said, "Thank you for your hard work this time."
"It's only natural to do things for others when you are paid." The black-haired woman replied indifferently.
The three of them walked out of the station and came to a street. Pedestrians were walking hurriedly. Several figures gathered together at the corner of the street, holding a newspaper and pointing at each other. They all looked very shocked... A subtle atmosphere was shrouding the entire city.
Yan Shang saw that the car that was supposed to pick them up had not appeared, and his brows frowned slightly. He looked at the time again and whispered in a deep voice:
"Why haven't they come yet... What are those people from the Chamber of Commerce doing?"
"Maybe they remembered the time wrong?" The squinting man asked in confusion.
Just as the two were talking, a newsboy carrying a backpack full of newspapers was running across the street quickly, with a childish voice that was loud and clear:
"Big news! Big news!!"
"Overnight, the headquarters of the Qunxing Chamber of Commerce was razed to the ground! Corpses were everywhere!"
"Is it the distortion of human nature, the decline of morality, or the punishment from heaven?"
"First-hand intelligence! Big revelations! On-site photos! All in the Aurora Daily! The last ten copies Do you want any more..."
The moment he heard this voice, Yan Shang was stunned.
Not only him, but also the two strangers beside him were also stunned. They looked in the direction of the newsboy in astonishment, wondering if they had just heard it wrong.
"Qunxing... Chamber of Commerce?" Yan Shang said uncertainly, "Is that what he just said...?"
"...It seems so."
A large number of figures came from all directions, surrounded the newsboy, and took out money to buy newspapers. Seeing this, the squinting man rushed forward.
"Give me a newspaper!" Without waiting for the newsboy to answer, he snatched the last newspaper from him, stuffed a silver coin into his hand, and turned around to walk towards Yan Shang.
"President, the newspaper is here..."
Yan Shang grabbed the newspaper without saying anything, and when he saw the huge black and bold headline, he felt a thunderclap in his mind!
——"Overnight, the Stars Chamber of Commerce was wiped out? 》
"Late last night, the largest business organization in Aurora City, the Star Chamber of Commerce, was mysteriously wiped out. A total of 142 bodies were found at the scene, and no one survived..."
"According to a passerby named Chu, who did not want to reveal his name, he was just passing by the Chamber of Commerce and accidentally found that there were no lights on in the Chamber of Commerce today, and the door was split in half by someone and collapsed inward, so he walked in out of curiosity..."
"When our reporter entered, the scene was bloody, all the buildings and trees were strangely shifted, and many bodies showed bite marks, which did not seem to be caused by humans..."
"During the on-site investigation, our reporter accidentally discovered that there was a secret room under the Chamber of Commerce, which stored a large number of organs and information of unknown origin. It is suspected that organ trading was carried out secretly. In-depth investigation is underway..."
"..."
This news occupied the largest page of the entire newspaper. The photos and text could not even be fully presented on one page, and it continued to the second page... When Yan Shang finished reading the last word, his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
"......President." The narrow-eyed man spoke cautiously, "What should we do next?"
Yan Shang's eyes were full of bloodshot. He crumpled the newspaper into a ball and held it in his hand, speaking word by word:
"Go back to the Chamber of Commerce!"
...
Newspaper office.
"You mean, when you went to get the camera last night, you accidentally found someone searching my house, so you followed him all the way to the Star Chamber of Commerce?" Wen Shilin put down the newspaper in his hand, thinking.
"That's right." Chen Ling nodded, "I was thinking that although we caught the two surgeons, there is still no conclusive evidence... Since this person went to search your house, it must be related to organ trading, so I wanted to take a risk and see if it is possible to find more evidence."
"So, you actually entered the Star Chamber of Commerce by yourself? But why did the newspaper say that it was discovered by a passerby?"
"Because I am investigating the organ trading, it cannot be exposed yet. I discussed it with Editor-in-Chief Feng, and she agreed that I should cover up this aspect a little. In this way, the law enforcers will not hold us responsible for concealing it..."
Wen Shilin nodded. He was familiar with this method. He had used this method before when he investigated something that he shouldn't have investigated but wanted to publish an article.
"What happened next?"
"The man searched your house and found nothing so he was ready to leave. I found his car downstairs and hid in the trunk in advance and followed him into the Star Chamber of Commerce... After the car stopped, I heard people talking outside and didn't dare to go out.
When it was late at night, I was about to find an opportunity to go out and look for clues when I heard a scream from outside... Then there was a sound similar to the roar of a wild beast.
At that time, I felt that the situation was not right, so I hid in the trunk and didn't come out. When the sound outside almost disappeared, I opened the trunk a little..."
Hearing this, Wen Shilin's eyes lit up slightly.
"Did you see the murderer?"
"... a little bit, it was too dark at the time, I couldn't see clearly... and this was too weird, so I didn't write it in the article..."
"What did you see the murderer look like?"
Chen Ling's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and there was still fear on his face...
"It seemed... it seemed like two bears."
"Bears?" Wen Shilin was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, if I remember correctly, one was brown and the other was yellow... They flashed across the manor." Chen Ling seemed to have remembered something not so good, and held his forehead with one hand,
"I... I don't know how to describe it. At that time, there were corpses everywhere on the ground that had been eaten. I... I have never seen such a scene."
