After Yang Li brought Yao Lanlan home, she learned about her situation in detail.
Then he comforted her: "I already know most of your situation. I will continue to follow up and investigate. The most important thing for you now is to have a good rest and take good care of yourself. Leave the rest to me. Just stay with me for the time being, okay?"
Yao Lanlan nodded, indicating that she would be obedient.
Early the next morning, Yang Li settled Yao Lanlan down and made sure that she would not do anything stupid again before she left the house with peace of mind.
This time, she did not go straight to the company as usual, but came to the police station first. She wanted to find out how the case investigation was going, and maybe bring good news to Yao Lanlan.
After questioning many police officers, Yang Li found the police officer who was currently investigating the Yao Lanlan case - Officer Chen.
As soon as she entered the room, Yang Li asked directly, "Hello, is this Officer Chen?"
Officer Chen said gently, "That's me. What's the matter?"
"Hello, I'm a reporter from M Agency. I'm here to ask you about the progress of the investigation into the case of the victim, Yao Lanlan. Could you please tell me how far along the case is?"
Upon hearing about this case, the police officer, who had been somewhat amiable just now, immediately turned serious. "Regarding the investigation of the case, it is an internal matter of the police station. I'm sorry I can't tell you."
"I am Yao Lanlan's authorized agent. Yao Lanlan is the victim in this case and has the right to know the progress of the case."
"Having said that, the circumstances of this case are special and no one other than the personnel handling the case may disclose the progress of the case to anyone else."
After hearing some key information, Yang Li quickly asked, "Is the situation special? Logically speaking, isn't this just a normal rape and molestation case? Could there be something else going on?"
"Someone is pressuring you not to speak about this case, right? Who is it? Your boss? Or someone else?"
Officer Chen closed his eyes and said resolutely, "I have no comment to make. Please go back."
After saying this, no matter how much Yangli tried to hint, she couldn't get the investigators to reveal anything about the investigation.
Seeing that she would not get any news no matter how long she stayed, Yang Li had to return to the company. After returning to the company, she made a report about the boss exploiting employees and being negligent, which led to the employees being harmed.
When she showed the report to the editor-in-chief, the editor-in-chief expressed great interest in the matter and expressed his own views on the report.
"Yang Li, your report is somewhat interesting, but it lacks some more intriguing and explosive content. For example, how was the girl victimized that night? What exactly happened that night? The girl was drunk and then assaulted. Did she not wake up during the assault? This doesn't seem to be true. Also, did she not feel anything at the time..."
Listening to the increasingly outrageous words, Yang Li could no longer endure it. Tong spoke up to stop her, saying, "Enough! Editor-in-Chief, the victim has suffered enough. Instead of focusing on reporting on the criminals and condemning this crime, we're seizing on the victim's privacy to attract attention. This is completely inconsistent with our original intention as journalists!"
The editor-in-chief scoffed and said, "As journalists, our job is to report on the incident and try to attract as many viewers and readers as possible. Your report is lackluster, and the words you use simply can't attract readers' attention, let alone expose this matter."
Although Yang Li was somewhat angry at the editor-in-chief's attitude towards the matter, angry that he only treated the report as an article rather than the harm suffered by a living person, she had to admit that the editor-in-chief was right.
If this report fails to attract public attention and does not make any waves among the people, then her wish to expose the matter, expand the impact as much as possible, and urge the police to close the case as soon as possible will not be realized.
Thinking of Yao Lanlan's current mental state, Yang Li fell silent.
Seeing that Yang Li had nothing to say, the editor-in-chief did not embarrass her any further, but continued to ask questions about her report: "You said that the company where the victim worked was a super large company. Which large company was it?"
Yang Li replied, "It's Tiansheng."
"Tiansheng?! Is it the largest and most powerful Tiansheng Group in Hangcheng?"
Yang Li thought about what Yao Lanlan had said and replied affirmatively, "Yes, that's right."
This really caught the editor's attention. He jumped up from his chair in excitement. "This means that the department head of the large company Tiansheng Group molested a newly hired female employee. This is major news. We must report this matter properly..."
Seeing her boss's emotions getting extremely agitated, Yang Li had to step in and remind him: "It wasn't the victim's boss who molested her, it was someone from another building materials company."
other
The editor-in-chief waved his hand and said, "No one in our company is as well-known as Tiansheng. Besides, can you guarantee that the victim's leader did not assault the female employee that night?"
Yang Li hesitated: "Well, the investigation results haven't come out yet, and the victim isn't very clear about what happened that night..."
The editor-in-chief threw up his hands. "That's it. Since no one knows what exactly happened that night, it's very possible that Tiansheng Group's department head took advantage of the situation to molest female employees... Take this report back and rewrite it. Make sure to emphasize that Tiansheng Group is poorly managed, allowing its executives to molest employees and treating female employees as playthings. Do you understand?"
Yang Li frowned with worry. "What if this gets out and Tiansheng Group thinks we've damaged their company's reputation and sues us?"
The editor-in-chief chuckled and said, "Isn't this better? The bigger the incident, the more exposure it gets. Isn't that exactly what you want?"
Yang Li thought for a moment and said firmly: "Okay, I understand."
When Yang Li published her report, it caused an uproar on the Internet, attracting people from all walks of life to watch, and netizens expressed their opinions on the matter.
There are many opinions and comments on the incident itself, but some people have also questioned the authenticity of the incident, believing that Tiansheng Group has always had a good reputation and it is unlikely that a collective sexual assault incident would occur. Some rival companies have taken advantage of Tiansheng's unfavorable public opinion to add fuel to the fire, making the incident more and more exposed.
Finally, this matter reached the ears of Qin Si, the current president of Tiansheng.
