Qiao Risheng and the others quickly calmed down.
Qiao Risheng and Hua Xiange were quick-witted and soon realized that Fang Yi must be behind this.
They knew that Fang Yi wouldn't ruin his own reputation, so they felt somewhat relieved.
However, Liang Chengyu and Mi Youyou were inexperienced and easily flustered. They were clearly acting strangely and subconsciously kept their distance from the old man.
Where is Lin Xuanyao? She has already run up to Fang Yi and is questioning him.
Fang Yi only told her:
"There is nothing wrong with the program. Please go back and continue with your task."
So they sent her back.
The four of them didn't linger. Once Yan Wu heard the news and sent someone to calm the old man down, the four of them left with Yan Wu.
Liang Chengyu's face looked very grim.
He is very protective of his image and puts a lot of effort into cultivating it, as evidenced by his marketing of his "loving couple" persona with Mi Youyou.
Although his studio's marketing of "zero scandals" is itself a laughing stock that people criticize.
A celebrity with zero scandals? What kind of celebrity would that be?
Stop kidding me!
Even the cleanest people in the industry have some rumors about them, some good and some bad.
Liang Chengyu had already anticipated the barrage of criticism online, and in that moment, he spoke without thinking:
"Mayor, didn't you explain such a big matter to us beforehand?"
Mi Youyou glanced at him.
Qiao Risheng and Hua Xiange were speechless: Doesn't his statement directly imply that Director Fang didn't explain the situation to them?
This will definitely lead to the production team being besieged by numerous fans.
Moreover, this is tantamount to him complaining about the director. Having offended Fang Yi, how can he expect to work with him again? Probably not.
On the other side, Fang Yi sneered: "He only signed for this season, right? Fine, I can tolerate that."
Seeing his ferocious smile, the assistant director silently shifted his position to the side.
Yan Wu looked bitter and speechless, so he had no choice but to apologize first.
He had already seen some of the messages online, apologized to them, and then turned around and bowed to the camera to apologize again.
It wasn't to exonerate the previous generation of townspeople, but to speak up for the children, saying that the children were innocent.
However, the effect was minimal, and some disloyal people even criticized him more fiercely, thinking that he was playing the victim and putting on an act.
"Fifth Uncle!"
Yan Huaizhi rushed back.
"Why are you back, kid? Weren't you supposed to be with the teachers?"
Yan Wu glared at him reproachfully and pulled him out of the frame.
He's now afraid that the audience will remember this child and make it impossible for the child to face anyone in the future.
Like a wolf cub, Yan Huaizhi shielded him behind his back and watched Qiao Risheng and the others warily.
He feared that these outsiders would treat them the same way people from outside the mountains would beat and kick them on sight. Especially now that the matter in the town had become known.
He trusted the people who raised him, but not most of the world.
Yan Wu then realized that Hua Changle and his group of five had also arrived.
It was the photographer there who alerted them, and they realized something was wrong, so they quickly ran back.
Seeing this, Hua Changle immediately asked Rabbit about what happened back then.
422: [...This is all the information that was made public back then.]
The information is clearly incomplete; there are obvious problems here. However, I need to hack into the regional official website for more detailed information.
Hua Changle hesitated for a moment: "Let's wait a bit. The scope is too broad right now. We don't know if the detailed and comprehensive information is in Zone 4, Zone 6, or Zone 1. It won't be easy to find. Let's wait a bit."
Finally, Qiao Risheng and Hua Xiange stepped forward and told Yan Wu:
"Mayor Yan, don't worry, we're here to help these children. We just want to help them live better lives, and I think you feel the same way."
Considering that Qiao Risheng was still trending on social media, Hua Xiange stepped forward to face the camera:
"Regardless of what people have done in the past, the children who come after are innocent, and they have the right to live a good life. We are all adults, and we can't impose the mistakes of adults on the younger generation. When will this cycle of revenge end?"
We hope everyone remains rational and thinks for themselves. We believe the program team and official channels will provide satisfactory answers to the relevant questions.
He shifted the blame back to Fang Yi and the regional officials.
The song's main fans started to stand up for the kids, and the criticism shifted.
However, some marketing accounts, bloggers, self-media, and netizens continue to generate a massive amount of new discussions.
Fabricated, exaggerated, or used to smear other celebrities...
This is exploiting the suffering of others in the information age.
Sometimes, many people enjoy their food without realizing it.
Yan Wu left with red eyes. Everyone gathered together again, and after a moment of silence, someone finally spoke.
Qiao Song directly bypassed the previous topic and said:
"We've made a discovery, but it needs verification. What about you? Have you found out anything?"
Qiao Risheng and the others exchanged glances. The most important thing they had found out was the topic they had just discussed, which they couldn't bring up.
Hua Xiange suddenly spoke up: "We've found out something about the theme of tomorrow's celebration. It's related to... the history of the town."
He left it at that, and everyone understood.
It's probably something like "commemoration" or "requiem," related to the disaster of that year.
Qiao Song and Hua Changle exchanged a glance and said, "Changle has discovered some clues and would like to share them with everyone."
Hua Xiange gave him a strange look: When did this kid become so familiar with Lele?
Hua Changle described the residual aura of spirits or souls that he had discovered.
Several people didn't understand. Lin Xuanyao, who wasn't highly educated and didn't know much about superpowers, asked in confusion:
