"Hey, you canāt just rely on guts, you have to use your brain." The cameraman tapped his lens and smiled mysteriously, "The camera is my life, do you think I would let anyone take it that easily?"
"...What do you mean?" The reporter was stunned, "It still got taken away. Or are you saying you did it on purpose?"
"Take a look at this." The cameraman opened his palm, revealing a memory card in his palm.
"This... this is...!"
The reporter was about to cry out in shock, but the cameraman quickly covered her mouth.
"Keep it down!"
The cameraman whispered, then chuckled.
"Before entering that alleyway, I swapped the memory card. The card they took just now only has some junk footage I shot in advance."
"Oh my god, you are way too clever!" The reporter suppressed her excitement and whispered, "Does that mean what we filmed earlier is all here?"
"Iāve dealt with those gun-toting people many times before, Iāve been through this kind of thing countless times." The cameraman said proudly, "Places with big news often have people from the Wei Family around."
Then he said regretfully, "Itās a pity that we didnāt capture the scene where those two took out their credentials and got through, otherwise it wouldāve been solid evidence. Now, with what we have, we can only slightly guide public opinion."
"Guide public opinion! This is called revealing the truth to the public! Letās not forget weāre official media! Even though we didnāt capture that scene, we saw it with our own eyes, we didnāt make anything up!"
The reporter cast one last look at the alley: "At least that woman is very likely to be our āgoddessā! Quickly send the card back, keep a backup, and publish a report swiftly! Iāll wait here to see if they come out again!"
"Okay! Haha, weāve really uncovered something big this time!"
...
"Those two outside already recognized us." Xu Xin leaned against the alley wall, took off his hat, and rubbed his hot head.
"...I knew it." Xu Ying glanced outside and rolled her eyes slightly, "Otherwise they wouldnāt keep hounding us, you canāt just force an interview on someone in a street interview."
"Hmm...?" Keke looked into the depths of the alley, "Hmm hmm?"
"Did they capture our footage, intending to make it public. Is that a problem?"
"Uh... forget it, let them make it public, the people of the underground world should know the truth." Xu Ying touched her smooth chin, "Let them build up some momentum for us first, later it will be easier when we take them to the surface."
"Thatās good. Keke, is there something inside?" Xu Xin patted Kekeās little head.
Keke kept tilting her head, looking at the deepest part of the alley at a wall.
"Keke found it too." Xu Ying grabbed Kekeās big tail and laughed.
"...Is there something abnormal over there? Could it be a teleportation device?" Xu Xin guessed.
A dead-end alley where many people disappeared overnight, the likelihood of teleportation is high.
"Of course, itās not a teleportation device." Xu Ying walked toward the wall, "Teleportation devices are endpoints, and if there were one in this city, I wouldāve found it ages ago."
The two walked to the wall.
"Hmm...? Blood scent?"
Xu Xin noticed something unusual in the air.
"Yes, itās mutant creature blood."
"...Teleportation Array Pattern?" Xu Xin looked at this wall.
The faint scent of blood seemed to be coming from this wall.
"Correct, but thereās no reward."
Xu Ying touched the wall, "This wall has been drawn with teleportation array patterns many times over, someone might have been teleported away."
She turned to Xu Xin, "Brother, did you notice any suspicious people on the way here?"
Xu Xin nodded, then mused, "All those suspicious people were teleported away from here?"
He thought of what the reporter said earlier.
Employees, students, elderly...
Those, infiltrating this underground human society... are they lapdogs?
Thinking this way, theyāve truly infiltrated every part of this city.
"Theyāre smart. They know the leader here is dead, staying would only lead them into a trap, so they just left." Xu Ying patted the wall, "They saved us a lot of trouble. Seems, brother, you only need to find some lapdogs from the three families."
"Speaking of which, can you finally tell me what happened with the Wei Family?" Xu Xin crossed his arms, looking at Xu Ying, "Youāve been so cryptic, itās really annoying."
"Mainly because itās complicated to explain and also..."
A dim look flashed across Xu Yingās eyes.
Then she shook her head and slapped her cheeks lightly, "Okay, letās go to the Wei Family now! Ah, wait, let me contact someone first."
"Who?"
"The new Patriarch of the Wei Family, Wei Shishi, let her explain it to you."
