Seizing Dreams [B2]

Chapter 152.2

So they all dispersed. Yu Hao carried his backpack and went to the company. Situ Ye had accompanied Jin Weicheng to an interview, while Lin Ze kept watch in the office. Once he saw Yu Hao, he asked, "What is it? Something happened?"

Yu Hao, "Is it that obvious?"

"You look terrible." Lin Ze said, "Didn't you see the report this morning?"

Yu Hao remembered that he had forgotten to read the news today. Lin Ze handed him a newspaper.

"It's published already?!" Yu Hao cried in surprise, "So fast!"

On the newspaper was the feature Yu Hao did on pyramid schemes. Lin Ze said, "The scale of this reprint and societal topic is even larger than the one we did last time. Do your own analysis of the popularity ba."

Yu Hao couldn't think about his own feature at all now, so he simply answered, "Okay", while he kept worrying about Huang Ting's safety. Lin Ze didn't ask any further either, and the two of them sat quietly in the office. Clacking sounds made when tapping on the keyboard could be heard once in a while. Yu Hao wanted to ask Lin Ze about his previous request for information on Zhao Liang, but he was worried about whether it would be too direct to just ask him so suddenly like this.

"The editor will report after the 15th." Lin Ze said, "You can relax a bit more then."

"That's great." Yu Hao forced out a smile, and the two of them fell silent again. Yu Hao had worked with Lin Ze for nearly half a year and understood his style very well — as long as he doesn't take the initiative to ask for help, Lin Ze has always been very patient and will leave the opportunity to solve the problem up to the person themselves, but once Yu Hao does ask for help, Lin Ze will concern himself with it till the very end.

He didn't want to drag Lin Ze down, nor did he want to get Lin Ze involved with this bizarre case.

"Do you need a day off to rest?" Lin Ze asked.

"I just rested, it's okay." Yu Hao began analyzing his piece's popularity. Reporters were all looking for him to ask him about news regarding the South. Every time breaking news gets published, people would come out in droves to uncover the truth. Sometimes, Yu Hao feels that China is not bereft of good reporters, it just lacked a few who would charge forward. If they successfully charged onto the front of public opinion, the huge army behind them would drive over with a mighty vigor. They wouldn't care if it was about melamine or jumping off buildings because of pyramid schemes, once the reporter army arrives, they would be able to crush you into nothing within minutes.

"Is there any news," Yu Hao said, "about the Zhao Liang I inquired about last time?"

Lin Ze replied to his WeChat while answering him without even looking up, "Your feature for the next issue?"

Yu Hao didn't reply. He knew that he had to be very careful with this conversation. Lin Ze said, "Sometimes, having no news is also a kind of news in itself."

Yu Hao suddenly understood. In not getting a reply after so long, it's not that Lin Ze didn't help him investigate, but it's that after discovering the exact details, he didn't want to tell Yu Hao in order to protect him!

"Change the topic ba." Although Lin Ze didn't know what Yu Hao wanted to do, he didn't doubt Yu Hao's ability to stir trouble up in the slightest.

"He's from the CCDI?"

"No." Lin Ze answered, "They have no special relationship with the CCDI."

"Hold on..." Yu Hao said, "Aren't they a Special Investigations organization under the central authorities?"

"Organization?" Lin Ze looked up and gazed at Yu Hao.
