Wen Nian looked at Shen Jun with a sense of helplessness in her eyes.
Ultimately, she couldn’t resist his determined gaze. “1 will go out first, and you stay by my side silently. Just be cautious not to get photographed.”
Shen Jun nodded in satisfaction. “Okay!”
Only then did Wen Nian walk out of the police station.
It was approaching midnight. The reporters who had been waiting by the roadside caught sight of Wen Nian, and they immediately swarmed towards her. The scene was chaotic, with a flurry of camera flashes going off from ail directions.
Amidst the chaos of flashing cameras, a reporter managed to shout out, “Wen Nian, what is the latest progress in the investigation?”
“Wen Nian, we witnessed the police bringing in several groups of individuals tonight. Are those people involved in this case?”
“Wen Nian…”
Wen Nian raised her hand to signal for everyone to be quiet. “Please be quiet!”
Observing the sudden silence, everyone paused momentarily, but the they still pressed forward, extending their microphones towards Wen Nian.
Wen Nian felt as though the reporters were about to stuff the microphones into her mouth. With a conflicted expression, she stepped back slightly and began with a polite acknowledgment. “First and foremost, 1 would like to express my gratitude for everyone’s concern. Thank you for waiting outside at this late hour.”
“The investigation has yielded results, and 1 have access to a video captured by my family’s surveillance camera. This footage captures the entire interview process I underwent earlier today. 1 can share it with all of you directly, allowing you to compare it and witness how the truth has been distorted.”
“In addition, 1 would like to inform you that the mastermind behind this incident has been apprehended by the police. Tomorrow, the official police station website will release a statement regarding this matter. It will include the official investigation results as well as the sentencing of the suspect.”
Wen Nian only briefly explained the results. Of course, the reporters were not satisfied. They wanted something explosive.
“Wen Nian, is the mastermind someone you know? What kind of grudge do you have with each other? Why would the other party be so ruthless?”
“Wen Nian, when did you call the police? Is this speed of handling cases because you know an insider?”
“Wen Nian, did you deliberately take a video of them interviewing you? Was all of this within your prediction?”
If she answered one question, there would still be thousands of questions waiting. Wen Nian didn’t want to answer the same questions again tomorrow.
Glancing at the media in attendance, Wen Nian informed them about the plan she had just discussed with Xu Chang. “Reporters, 1 won’t be available for interviews today. Once the police report is released, Director Xu will hold a press conference to address the matter. The specific time for the conference will be announced soon.”
Some reporters were eager to gather more details, understanding the significance of being among the limited few local first-tier media outlets and newspapers present. While they couldn’t compete with exclusive reports, they recognized the value of obtaining any lead they could. They continued to persuade Wen Nian, urging her to consider answering a few additional questions.
Wen Nian maintained a serious demeanor and refrained from providing direct answers. Instead, she firmly stated, “It’s already quite late. 1 kindly request everyone to return for now. 1 assure you that all your questions will be addressed comprehensively during the upcoming press conference.”
A sharp-eyed female reporter interjected, perceiving Wen Nian’s intention in inviting their families and acknowledging the influence and authority they held. “Wen Nian, it seems you understand the power and influence our families possess. 1 believe the information we release in our publications will be the most effective in providing clarification. Likewise, we also require exclusive internal news to capture the attention of our readers.”
“If other third-rate tabloids report the same content as us, aren’t you concerned that they might employ ambiguous language to obfuscate the facts and diminish the impact of your clarification? 1 don’t intend to underestimate them, but 1 believe you understand that tabloids often prioritize popularity over objectivity. Their reports can be subjective at times and may not present an entirely unbiased perspective.”
Given their expertise in writing, scholars have long been recognized for their abilities. When it comes to the objectivity of news reports, Wen Nian undoubtedly places her trust in prominent newspapers backed by official endorsements and possessing a high level of credibility.
Indeed, the words of the female reporter struck a chord with Wen Nian, addressing her most pressing concern.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Wen Nian raised her gaze. “You’re right, it is getting late. My family is also deeply concerned about this issue. While I cannot grant immediate interviews at this moment, I promise that after the press conference, 1 will set aside half an hour on that day to conduct interviews with your three newspapers.”
The reporters expressed their satisfaction with this arrangement, understanding that securing an exclusive interview would provide them with more substantial material for their reporting than the current situation.
After the reporters dispersed, the Wen family and Li Fang walked out..
