Chapter 1474 Nightmarish Romance
Meng Chao frowned. “What does that mean?”
Ai Lei coughed dryly. “These are the characters for ‘Dragon City’s richest woman’ and the meaning of 666.”
Meng Chao was silent for a moment before he said, “Do you really want to be rich?”
Ai Lei shrugged. “Who doesn’t want to be rich?”
Meng Chao ignored her. He directly entered the pa.s.sword and unlocked the memory chip. As expected, he found a folder inside. It was filled with photos of the Red Creek Project that she had just taken, especially the photos around the crystal warehouse.
Due to the high wind and heavy rain that night, Ai Lei had hidden in the dark, not daring to get too close to take photos.
Most of the buildings and facilities in the photos were very blurry.
The crystal warehouse was like a giant black beast crouching in the valley. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing unusual.
Meng Chao was very patient. He flipped through the photos one by one, not missing a single pixel.
From the pictures’ perspective, he could see that Ai Lei was getting closer and closer to the tunnel behind the crystal warehouse.
She was also getting closer and closer to danger.
Sure enough, when he got to the seventeenth picture, Meng Chao found a few black dots that had almost merged with the darkness in the upper left corner of the picture.
From the distinct outlines of their horns, they were orcs, or in other words, members of the Blood Alliance, who were pretending to be orcs!
Meng Chao glanced at Ai Lei.
He found that her expression didn’t change at all.
It seemed that she still didn’t know what she had captured by accident.
Of course, even if she had captured the real orcs, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
Through eavesdropping on the conversation between the miners and the guards, Meng Chao knew that the armed personnel of the nine Super Enterprises had already had many fierce conflicts with the rat people who used to live in this area.
The people of Dragon City were no strangers to the orcs.
In the case of “Conclusive evidence, “it was not important whether the orcs were captured or not.
But what if what ai lei captured was not the orcs?
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. A few thin halos of light appeared around his pupils, which were constantly zooming in and out. He scanned the photos back and forth.
Soon, he found traces of the “Orcs”in the corners of the three photos.
Unfortunately, the photos were blurred. It was hard to see their real faces just by looking at their silhouettes.
It could only be said that the positions of the black dots in the photos seemed to be too professional and well-trained. It was too human-like.
It didn’t matter. As long as the photos were sent to the technical department and scanned and rendered layer by layer using image enhancement technology, they should be able to capture more details, such as the bulging backpack, the crystal bombs that the orcs would never make, and so on.
If they wanted to make the warehouse, which was seriously lacking in crystal ore reserves, explode with such a magnificent sound and photoelectric effect, the members of the Blood Union wouldn’t sneak in empty-handed.
“This is it.”
Meng Chao pulled out the memory chip and held it firmly in his palm.
Once again, he was glad that he had saved ai lei.
Otherwise, once the blood union people, know that there is such a close-by witness, and her ident.i.ty is still a reporter.
They’re gonna do whatever it takes to keep Allie quiet.
And it could kill a lot of the general staff at Universal who are guarding Alai.
This is also the reason why Meng Chao staged a thrilling car chase with great fanfare.
He had to send a very clear signal to the members of the Blood Union that AI lei had been rescued. What happened next had nothing to do with Universal Group. At least, it had nothing to do with those ordinary employees who knew nothing about universal group.
“So, which faction are you from exactly?”
Meng Chao’s gaze focused on Ai Lei’s face again. “Who sent you here?”
Ai Lei saw that the exclusive photos that she had painstakingly taken had all fallen into Meng Chao’s hands, but she did not dare to fight for them. As if resigned to her fate, she said honestly, “No one sent me here. I’m a Lone Wolf.”
Meng Chao was stunned. “What do you mean by ‘Lone Wolf’?”
“It means that you work for yourself. You Don’t have to obey any orders, nor are you at the mercy of any forces. You just do your best to pursue truth and Justice!”
At this point, AI lei puffed up her chest again, and her eyes shone with stubbornness and pride, “Senior, I’m not lying to you. These photos can also be used as evidence. I’m really a reporter. I received insider information and came to Red Creek Valley to investigate the secret of Huanyu Group!”
“Is that so?”
Meng Chao said, “Then you said that your dream is to become the richest woman in Dragon City?”
“That’s not contradictory!”
Ai Lei said righteously, “I believe that all the citizens of Dragon City Need Truth and justice. As long as I work hard to dig out the truth and expose the shocking news, so that all the citizens of Dragon City know that ‘Ai Lei’is a female hero who dares to challenge a colossus that can blot out the sky by herself, someone will definitely be willing to pay for my courage.
“When the time comes, all the citizens of Dragon City will get the truth and justice, and I will get money and honor. Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?”
“That makes sense.”
Meng Chao said, “Then, what channels do you usually use to publish your reports?”
“In order to maintain the spirit of fairness, neutrality, integrity, never going along with the trend and pursuing the truth and justice to the end, I rarely cooperate with traditional large-scale media groups. Even ‘The Light of Dragon City’, which is a big business, is inextricably linked to all aspects. It’s always inconvenient to conduct interviews and reports.”
Ai Lei said, “On the Internet, I have a multi-platform news studio called ‘Wind Catcher’. It specializes in reporting cutting-edge information in the circle of extraordinary people in Dragon City, a.n.a.lyzing the first-hand news of the recent cultivation world, and exposing all kinds of unjust and undisclosed insider information. Of course, it will also carry out direct comments and thorough a.n.a.lysis.
“My studio is called ‘wind catcher’. Among the news-related media on many platforms, the number of users and traffic are among the best. I have created many explosive news articles, and the total number of fans I have is in the millions. Everyone believes that I will be able to dig out the truth that the major media can not, or that they are unwilling, afraid, and can not disclose.
“I, on the other hand, AM full of the trust and expectation of millions of supporters. That’s why I have the courage to fight those behemoths to the end!”
Meng Chao ignored the bragging at the end.
He searched for the name “Wind catcher’in his memory.
It was really strange. Logically speaking, he had been away from Dragon City for a whole year.
Even when he was in Dragon City, he had to cultivate, partic.i.p.ate in the activities of the martial G.o.d Temple, the remnant star a.s.sociation, and the Blue Homeland, control the strategic direction of the Super Star Group, and go to the Relic Research Inst.i.tute to explore the mysteries of the Archean relics, he also had to help the Bureau of Investigation of Exotic Beasts to fight small monsters. He was so busy that he couldn’t wait to spend forty-eight hours a day.
He certainly didn’t have the time and energy to pay attention to such a so-called ‘News Studio’.
But why did the name ‘wind catcher’sound so familiar that it made his teeth itch?
Suddenly, Meng Chao remembered!
His pupils constricted into two needle tips as he stared at Al lei.
“So, you are the ‘wind catcher’?”
Meng Chao mumbled, “I remember that your media account wrote an article called ‘Nightmare of Love’. It was about Meng Chao and Lu Siya in the depths of the jungle where monsters ran rampant. Because of the strange poison in their bodies, they went crazy and lost control of their minds. They couldn’t control themselves and finally broke through the last barrier and bottom line between their close comrades. It was like a volcano erupting, with hot streams surging out, or a flood flooding in. It was unstoppable
“That’s right. It turns out that senior has read the press release I wrote. Could it be that senior is also a reader of the ‘wind catcher’?”
Ai Lei was both surprised and delighted.
‘Nightmare of Love’was indeed her famous work.
She had also relied on this press release, which was full of sweat, lively, and real, to create an explosive amount of money and acc.u.mulate a large number of loyal readers, it was only then that she gradually started to create the “Wind catcher”from a media account.
“… I’ve read it.”
Meng Chao took a deep breath, “Including the sequel you wrote, Meng Chao and Lu Siya. Because of their different backgrounds and ideals, and because they were obstructed by the Lu family, an intense conflict erupted between the two of them. Meng Chao had a new lover, and Lu Siya got drunk in the middle of the night. I’ve read all the series of stories.”
“Aiya, so senior is really my loyal reader!”
Ai Lei was extremely excited, “Then you must have read the final report of the series of ‘Nightmare of Love’– after Meng Chao’s unfortunate death, LÜ Siya suddenly realized how deep her feelings for Meng Chao had become. She was determined to inherit Meng Chao’s will and never marry. As the ‘Bride of Dragon City’, she would replace Meng Chao and fight for Dragon City Forever?”
Meng Chao said, “I’ve been busy recently, so I haven’t had the chance to read this one yet.”
“Then you must go and take a look.”
Ai lei said, “It’s not that I’m putting myself on a pedestal, but in order to write this press release, I’ve really put in all my effort. It can be considered to be the most perfect ending to the ‘Nightmare of Love’series.”
“Alright, I’ll definitely read the masterpiece when I have time.”
Meng Chao said, “However, I have a question. Can the things you’ve written really be considered a ‘press release’?”
“Of course!”
Ai Lei said, “I understand what senior means. For those of us who work in the media, when we write a press release, our wording and style of writing are often bolder and livelier than those in traditional media. They don’t look that serious.
“However, this is only to consider the acceptability of the readers. It doesn’t mean that the authenticity of our news will be compromised at all!”
“Is that so?”
Meng Chao looked at her. “So, ‘Nightmare of Love’is about the truth. When Meng Chao and Lu Siya were rolling around in the remote jungle of monsters, were you hiding in the bushes next to them
“Well, the source of our information is a trade secret. Besides, we are responsible for the safety of the informants. It’s impossible for us to reveal their ident.i.ties.”
“That’s right, “ai lei said. “I can only guarantee it with my personality, reputation, and professional ethics as a media person. Every word I write is based on evidence and represents truth and justice.
“If I’m making things up, why don’t Meng Chao, Lu Siya, the remnant star a.s.sociation, and the Superstar Group come to the ‘wind catcher’and sue me for violating their reputation?”
