Chapter 166 - Reporter I

Jiang Ruolan glanced at the air cushion and unconsciously raised her head to look at the roof of the eighteen-story private office building, and saw a middle-aged man in white and blue hospital uniforms standing there. Since the building's height was too high and too far away, she couldn't see it clearly, but vaguely she could see from his shadow that this man was one of the laborers who had caused the previous commotion.

Was he ... trying to jump out of the building?

Jiang Ruolan looked towards the police cars and then quickly took a few steps back so that she could see the people above more clearly. She saw many people on the roof, and the laborer looked like he was threatening the rescue team. No one can approach him. At this point of view, Jiang Ruolan did not know what was going on on the roof.

But with a height of 18 floors, even with an air cushion, the person will surely die if he falls. This air cushion was utterly useless!

Jiang Ruolan quickly took out the DV from her bag and took a picture of the scene while observing the situation upstairs.

"This man appeared to be an injured laborer in a riot with the criminal police squad some time ago. I heard he was locked up in a psychiatric hospital, then somehow he fled and wanted to jump out of the building. He even called the hospital and said that if they did not give him an explanation, he would kill himself and let the bad name of H City and Xian Group spread."

"I...I think I saw President Xian just now. I wonder where he's gone?"

"He must have gone upstairs. This worker has been standing there for a long time. President Xian must have been shocked. He came in person to see the situation. Will he try to persuade the laborer?"

"These architects and investors are most afraid of a murder case. Once they are caught by someone, not to mention President Xian, even the upper echelons of H City cannot escape unscathed."

"Our country is very strict about catching these people, and I heard that this laborer didn't actually commit any major crimes. The criminal police were afraid of trouble, so they locked him up in a mental hospital. They even got a medical certificate saying that this laborer contracted hysteria and wanted him to recuperate in a mental hospital. I think this laborer was abused in the mental hospital. His life is worse than death!"

"Wasn't Xian Zihao not in H City during that time?"

"Yeah, I really don't know who made this decision. Isn't this considered cheating?"

"Aiya, look! He's about to jump down!"

The onlookers immediately cried out in alarm and quickly scattered in all directions. However, the laborer only took another small step towards the edge and hadn't jumped yet.

Jiang Ruolan suddenly turned around and rushed into the private office. She grabbed one of the staff members inside and asked her how to get to the top floor.

The staff looked at her strangely and said that the rescue teams were already on the roof, and onlookers were not allowed to go up casually.

Jiang Ruolan took out her work ID and said that she was a commercial Reporting Department. She explained that this matter related to life and death, and after hesitating for a moment, the staff pointed at the elevator. "Take the elevator to the 18th floor, there's a door on the far left of the 18th floor.

Jiang Ruolan thanked the staff and hurried to the elevator.

When she arrived on the 18th floor, she saw several security guards standing there. When they saw her coming over, they immediately blocked her path.

Anxiously, she tried to explain why she was up. Just as she was about to reveal her ident.i.ty, a security guard from earlier, called Little Tian, walked closer.

"She's President Xian's wife." Little Tian glanced at her and told them to clear the way.

The security guards were surprised for a moment, and then they turned to make way.

Jiang Ruolan was in a hurry, so she didn't have time to thank the security guards who had been "scared" by her, hence she nodded gratefully at him and rushed up to the rooftop.

a.s.sistant Bai and Secretary Du, who was standing seven or eight meters away were trying to talk with the laborer. There were also two people wearing the police uniform, and because the laborer worker was putting his life on the line, no one dared to come forward.

However, all of them were staring at the laborer's actions and if he made the slightest movement to jump down, they would immediately rush up to save him.

After Secretary Du finished his call, he immediately walked towards Xian Zihao.

Xian Zihao was the closest to the laborer, and the moment the worker saw Secretary Du approaching, he screamed with bloodshot eyes, "Don't come near me!"

The laborer was agitated and his entire body was trembling. Even though he did not plan to jump down yet, a slight careless movement could cause him to fall.

Xian Zihao raised his hand, signaling for Secretary Du to stop.

Secretary Du paused in his steps and hesitated for a moment. He didn't come nearer and only said, "President Xian, the two criminal police officers related to this incident are already rushing over here. The psychiatrist and nurse have already followed your orders and will come here quickly. They should be able to arrive in around ten minutes."

Xian Zihao nodded, his gaze shifted to the laborer again. "I have followed your request and asked the people involved to come here. Whoever is responsible for this problem, Xian Group will definitely get justice for you. If there is anything we can do, just let us know. So, please step down and come here."

The laborer's eyes were red as he looked at him. His eyes filled with caution. "No! I don't believe you! None of you people are good. If I go there, you will immediately give me a sedative like those doctors. You are going to drag me away and lock me up again! I've had enough of you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! If you don't give me justice and give me back my freedom, I would rather jump down and let none of you have a good life!"

"Lian Qigang, you don't know what's good for you! Since Mr. Xian said so, he will definitely give you justice. What are you blabbering on about?" On the other side, the person wearing the uniform was filled with impatience.

The laborer immediately clenched his fists. Veins popped out on his forehead, and his eyes were bloodshot. He took a small step back while staring at them.

Xian Zihao frowned and looked coldly at the inspector.

a.s.sistant Bai hurriedly walked over and stopped behind Xian Zihao. When the laborer was about to tell her to stay away, she cut him. "With President Xian giving you justice, what else do you have to worry about? We can also help you get in touch with them. As long as you come over, we will do anything you want."

"All of you, do you think I'm stupid ?! d.a.m.n, you all treated our lives like gra.s.s! If I were taken by you all today, I would still die. Moreover, I would die in an unknown state. No one knows. where I die, and since I am going to die, why not die more vigorously, and let you all suffer retribution!" The laborer's voice had become hoa.r.s.e, and he was even trembling. It was clear that he was afraid of death, but he knew that he would die in a more tragic way if he did not intimidate them.

"You …" a.s.sistant Bai was about to say something, but she was interrupted by Xian Zihao.

Xian Zihao looked at the laborer calmly. Even though he was being threatened, he was still calm and composed. His eyes looked at the wound on the laborer's leg, which had been dyed blue and white.

He remembered the night in the hospital when he had gone to comfort this laborer; at that time, he was lying on the bed and his face was pale, as if he wanted to say something to him but didn't dare to.

Xian Zihao pondered for a moment and slowly said in a clear voice, "You want me to seek justice for you, but you don't trust me. This kind of endless entanglement probably won't benefit you much."

When the laborer heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he looked around them, "I know you would disagree with my request. You are just trying to fool me. You are thinking of a way to get me away!"

"What do you want us to do? How can I make you believe me?" Xian Zihao said indifferently.

"I …" The laborer stood there nervously. Behind him was an abyss that was tens of meters high. In front of him was an official who was seen as a jackal, a tiger, and a leopard. None of these people can convince him.

The laborer thought for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "I want a reporter! I want the media! I want the media to record our conversations! If you dare to lie to me, I'll let the media expose you all!"

"What are you trying to do? You asked us to find people from the torture squad, a hospital, and now you want a reporter? Are you done yet? Do you think you can just order us to obey your demands and let those people come over to watch you pretending suicide?" The inspector cursed again.

"I don't care! I want a reporter! I want the media to record everything that happened today. I want all of you to be filmed! Record all our conversations! I don't believe you without reporters! I don't believe a single word of it!" The laborer suddenly shouted in excitement.

Seeing the laborer's actions, a.s.sistant Bai walked forward nervously. However, she suddenly heard Xian Zihao saying, "Go find a reporter nearby, tell them to come here."

"You don't have to look for it. I'm a reporter!" Suddenly, Jiang Ruolan, who had been standing quietly by the door to the rooftop, made a sound. She came here only to find out whether Xian Zihao was safe or not.

Her voice caused everyone on the rooftop to turn towards her in surprise. Xian Zihao, who had been completely focused on the laborer's actions, hadn't noticed her appearance. When he looked at her, he did not seem surprised.

"I am a reporter! What do you want to say to me? I have a recording pen and a small DV. I can do whatever you need with my help." Jiang Ruolan didn't have time to pay attention to onlookers' gaze as she walked towards the laborer.

When she approached him, the laborer's reaction was still skeptical, but he still allowed her to approach him.

"Ruolan." Xian Zihao suddenly called out to her with a deep voice.

Jiang Ruolan stopped and turned around to look at him. Xian Zihao's expression wasn't looking too good as he signaled her with his eyes to back away.

Jiang Ruolan smiled and shook her head at him, "I represent the media and have the authority to record your conversations and get justice for Lian Qigang."

Her words were very official. It was obvious that her conversation was to be heard by this laborer.
