Guan Yuxi's forehead wound looked bloody and frightening.
However, it was just a small scratch.
On the contrary, the people from Lengjiagou not only had injuries on their faces, hands, and arms, but their shoulders and backs were also covered in bruises, which was quite frightening.
Everyone gasped in shock and turned their attention to the staff of the Hongshi Daily.
"How is that possible?"
"We didn't use that much force."
"They clearly injured themselves beforehand to frame us!"
Reporter Lin panicked and her first reaction was to shirk responsibility.
Guan Yuxi and the people from Lengjiagou looked at them calmly, without any resentment or hatred.
However, precisely because the eyes of the masses are so discerning, everyone could clearly see how those sticks fell on them.
Even if they want to deny it, they should at least ask the general public if they agree, right?
"You assaulted someone and you won't admit it?"
"That's outrageous! You've beaten him up like this and you're still trying to deny it!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Get your editor-in-chief out here and give Old Master Guan and everyone else justice!"
......
The onlookers were outraged, and their shouts were deafening.
Seeing that things were going badly, the obese editor-in-chief grabbed his bag and ran out the back door from the second-floor window.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped out, they were blocked and taken to the front door.
"Editor-in-Chief Lai tried to run away, but we caught him."
The leader was a slightly hunched old man, but he was very energetic.
Guan Yuxi recognized him; he was the old man who dealt in things in the dark market, and also the one who provided her with ten sewing machines.
This was not the time for conversation, so she bowed to him to express her gratitude.
"Hello, Secretary Song! Hello, esteemed leaders!"
I wasn't trying to run away; I was just trying to get down and resolve the issue when I was brought here...
"Well, Reporter Lin is in charge of everything regarding Comrade Guan XX's matter. Lin, could you explain this to everyone?"
The chubby editor greeted everyone awkwardly, but seeing that no one paid him any attention, he simply passed the buck to reporter Lin.
Reporter Lin had been hoping his brother-in-law would back him up, but now that he was passing the buck to him, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
However, since the deed has already been done, he still has no choice but to face it!
"First of all, on behalf of the security department, I sincerely apologize to everyone."
I just wanted them to kick you out, but things turned out like this.
"But don't worry, I'll cover all the medical expenses."
Reporter Lin clenched his fist and bowed deeply to Guan Yuxi.
He had figured it out: Guan Yuxi, this seemingly frail woman, was actually the leader of this group!
Guan Yuxi avoided the question, saying, "I don't accept your apology, and we don't need you to pay for our medical expenses."
We're here simply to seek justice for my grandfather!
If reporter Lin is truly sincere, why not first explain why your report uses completely unrelated so-called facts to smear my grandfather?
How did you come up with the idea of slandering and mocking an old revolutionary who participated in the 14-year War of Resistance against Japan and the Korean War, whose children all sacrificed their lives for the country?
Furthermore, may I ask Editor-in-Chief Lai, reporter Lin is just a junior reporter; can he really influence the newspaper's decisions? Can he be held accountable for the newspaper's actions?
Her voice was strong and clear, and she looked at the two of them with a stern face and a gaze so deep that it was impossible to look directly at her.
Lin, the reporter, blushed and retorted, "Weren't those things things you and the villagers said to yourselves?"
Even if it's slander, it's you who fabricated facts to mislead me!
Although he reworked the facts, isn't that how literary works are?
To create a memorable character, one needs a distinct personality and detailed examples, right?
What's wrong with him making some adjustments?
Even though news reporting demands truthfulness and accuracy, most of what he said was true!
Guan Yuxi sneered and took out a stack of clipped newspaper articles. "May I ask, Reporter Lin, which of these articles was told to you by my own mouth?"
Lin, the reporter, was naturally very clear about the report he had written.
Even if he doesn't look at it, he already knows.
What's more, he had been so excited that he would often look back at the articles he had written with his brilliant pen.
"You said yourself that you have seven or eight uncles and five older brothers!"
Even if Guan Yuxi denies it, he doesn't believe she can erase her blood ties with those people.
Guan Yuxi was stunned for a moment before she remembered what had happened.
She scoffed and said, "You asked me how many brothers and uncles I had?"
Reporter Lin sneered, "Could it be that you're trying to say that those are all your grandfather's adopted sons and grandsons?"
Guan Yuxi wouldn't even bother to answer such a question.
She just found it funny.
How could a reporter from a prestigious city newspaper be so arbitrary and take things out of context like this!
She stared directly at him, her gaze sharp and filled with sarcasm.
"The Lin family must be large and prosperous, but they have never experienced the hardships of rural life and are unaware of rural customs, right?"
None of my grandfather's children survived, and I never even met my parents.
Therefore, my grandfather taught me to call the villagers who were of the same generation as my father and had a close relationship with my family "eldest uncle," "second uncle," etc. This made it seem more intimate and also so that my uncles would take better care of me after he passed away.
The five older brothers I mentioned are the five sons of my eldest uncle, Leng Qingshu. I received a lot of care from them since I was little, so I regarded them as my own brothers.
