Chapter 30
Song Ran woke up the next day and found that after one night, the matter had quickly matured. The article she wrote spread to all corners of the Internet and attracted national attention.
The direction of public opinion reversed overnight, from ridiculing the person who jumped from the building for being weak and incompetent to scolding the teacher Zhao.
"Being a 'bitch' is rubbish."
"He is still a special teacher. I don't know how he got selected. The education system is rotten to the core."
"Don't these people go to jail? Go to hell!"
"Does the Education Bureau dare to admit that special teachers are scum? No, no, haha, it's public relations again."
Song Ran was not at all pleased with this reversal of results. The Internet seems to have always been just a place to vent your emotions.
However, amid the overwhelming abuse, a netizen¡¯s message caught Song Ran¡¯s attention:
¡°Will other teachers in the school tell the truth?
What makes people desperate is that the people they want to protect may not have that much power. They just want to safeguard the interests of their own group, and people in the same group are bound to harbor each other. In this society, if you do not belong to any group, congratulations, you are alone. "
Song Ran read that sentence for a long time, and she said to herself that the so-called reporter is just to make everyone no longer alone.
As for her, she doesn¡¯t want to lead or change public opinion. All she wants to do is record a voice that has been ignored, even if it only plays a role in supervision and restraint, so that the authoritative party can finally give a fair and just result.
However, she soon discovered that things were not that simple.
That morning, she was called to the office by Liu Yufei, who asked her to take the initiative to delete the article, apologize, forward the investigation notice issued by the police, and hand over student Wang¡¯s private information.
Song Ran couldn¡¯t understand: ¡°Didn¡¯t Taiwan ask me to follow up and report the truth, and they also said they support me in press freedom?¡±
Liu Yufei was also embarrassed and said: "But now, the truth needs to be investigated by the police."
"The police are going to investigate. Why do you want me to delete the post and apologize? I didn't express any opinions. I just recorded a student's statement. Shouldn't they investigate what I recorded?"
Liu Yufei rubbed the bridge of his nose, feeling troubled: "They will investigate. But you have to delete the negative impact. Now the discussion among netizens has risen to the education system, the public security system and even beyond, thinking that they are shielding teachers."
"Since they don't have it, wouldn't it be nice to find out? Also, I won't hand over the student's information until the truth comes out. The video and screenshots he provided are on Zhu Yanan's phone. The police can find out and there is no need for me to provide them. "
"Song Ran, you mostly do international news, and you don't understand how to do domestic news. There are some things you can't be too stubborn."
Song Ran pondered the meaning of his words and whispered: "Is someone putting pressure on the stage? It's just a teacher. This has to be maintained. Is the victim so insignificant?"
Liu Yufei had nothing to say. He is very clear about the ideals and purity of mind of young journalists, he is aware of their lack of smoothness, and he also knows that conflicts of ideas cannot be resolved in a short time.
He sighed: "Song Ran, I asked you to delete it for your own good. This matter has turned into national news. Look how many people are involved. If it continues to cause trouble, the station may not be able to protect you."
Song Ran was shocked. After all, she was young, so she was immediately frightened and panicked. But she gritted her teeth for a moment, and she didn't know where the strength came from, and she said softly: "Then let's do it."
Song Ran returned to the office area, her hands and feet were fighting, and her face was a little pale.
But she quickly calmed herself down, opened the information and continued to look for clues.
It was almost noon when she found the residence of the director of the teaching office of the experimental middle school. She paid a visit and wanted to ask the senior high school students about reporting Teacher Zhao Yuanli's corporal punishment to the teaching office.
The director is in her forties and a woman. She has been interviewed by several reporters today, and she is not very patient, but still polite.
But as soon as she heard that Song Ran was a reporter who wrote "Another Voice", she immediately changed her face, pushed and pushed Song Ran out of the door, and yelled:
"Do you, a journalist who eats steamed buns with human blood, have any conscience? No student here has ever reported Teacher Zhao. Do you believe what he lies about? Wang Han is just a useless student who hates his teacher. He can't be saved. No, you have no brains either!"
Song Ran was stunned and chased after him with a voice recorder: "I didn't tell you the name of that student, why did you say his name was Wang Han? So Wang Han did report Teacher Zhao to you"
"What?"
¡°You look weak, but your heart is strong.¡±
"It's just that I didn't expect that you would end up in such a bad way. Do you think good intentions can do good things? There are too many people in this world who think they have a good starting point, but end up doing terrible bad things.
You think you saved one person, but maybe you hurt more people. The suffering of those who were innocently involved does not matter to you? "
Song Ran could only feel his heart chilling in the cold wind: "I didn't expect that you would be so determined to protect the group behind you. So Officer Li thought that in order to protect some people, he would sacrifice a certain person, cover his mouth, and strangle him to death. Doesn't his voice matter? That's right. You are a soldier, so you will naturally and unconditionally abide by the orders of your superiors. Even if your superiors ask you to kill people, you will still shoot, right?"
In the dark and cold night, Li Zan's face turned pale.
They didn¡¯t quarrel, and they didn¡¯t speak loudly, but they stabbed each other with blood.
The two looked at each other, silent and quiet. Perhaps at this moment, they finally realized that they were strangers.
They are actually on opposite sides.
Finally, he took a step back and gently let go of her hand. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
