What Xiao Yi found was similar to the news Xiao Geng brought.
It is indeed pressure from a higher level, or an order.
In fact, if you think about it, the only way to make the mainstream media in N City unify their voices is through high-level coercive pressure.
Feng Yi was not so narcissistic yet, he felt that these were all for him.
Just like Xiao Geng said, the wings of butterflies have begun to flap. It is a sensitive period. In order to promote follow-up plans, any related incidents that trigger public opinion need to be handled with a firm attitude.
Think back to the guesses made by the butler.
Once the butterfly's wings start flapping, the invitation begins.
What decision should I make?
In fact, Feng Yi already had the answer in his heart.
Of course, the public discussion on this matter is far from over. There are various exaggerated and outrageous speculations about Feng Yi one after another. The rumors cannot be refuted.
This matter really cannot be explained clearly, and for this reason, various refutations and clarifications seem to have no obvious effect.
There were some pots that Feng Yi had to bear.
Only when the Butterfly Project is truly exposed can this matter be explained clearly.
However, when that day actually comes, the label on Feng Yi may be more complicated. Because of the incident involving the man in the wolfskin coat, the originally planned return time was postponed for another two days.
Except for going to the Federal Security Bureau to cooperate with some investigations, Feng Yi stayed in the hotel the rest of the time and did not go out.
There are many reporters outside and it is easy to be blocked when going out.
On this day, Feng Yi had just returned to the hotel from the UN Security Bureau. It was getting late and he was going to have dinner when he met Uncle Bao who was about to leave.
Uncle Bao frowned when he saw Feng Yi.
As soon as he looked at Feng Yi, he thought of the strange behavior of N City's mainstream media in the past two days. There were people on the Internet who praised N City's media for finally being upright.
Uncle Leopard doesn’t believe it!
This is so funny. When did the media in N City become so upright?!
Looking at their reports and the rigor of their wording, I thought they were watching some international political news! Even if it is international news, there will be ridicule and personal indoctrination from different angles, and experts will be used to compete when necessary.
Uncle Bao has been criticized many times by the media in N City. He is very clear about the urinal nature of these people. It is all about business and money, and it is not just about money.
But regarding Feng Yi's incident, it was amazing to have such a unified voice. When he saw the news report, his first reaction was: Did the housekeeper take action?
Then he denied it.
Even if the housekeeper took action, it would not be able to reach this level.
He is quite powerful and mysterious, but he will not affect this level so quickly.
I don't know the reason, I can't figure it out.
When he failed to receive reliable information, even Uncle Bao felt that the outrageous speculations on the Internet seemed to make sense. Coupled with the existing filters...
Is this the authentic Feng family?
awesome!
"Uncle Bao." Feng Yi came over and said hello.
"Are you eating now?" Uncle Bao looked very kind.
"I just came back from the N City Branch of the Joint Security Bureau. Uncle Bao, why did you come to the hotel?" Feng Yi said.
"Come to meet a friend." Uncle Bao said.
Feng Yi didn't ask any further questions. He looked at the people following Uncle Bao.
When I went to have dinner with Uncle Bao that day, the few people I saw with some abnormal emotional information were not with Uncle Bao today for some unknown reason.
Although Uncle Bao and the people around him controlled their facial expressions very well, judging from the real emotional information, their inner emotions were very strong at this time, both positive and negative.
These emotions are not directed at Feng Yi.
When Xiao Yi checked the media, he also checked some things about Uncle Bao. Feng Yi knew that Uncle Bao's company seemed to be unstable internally recently.
But Uncle Bao wouldn't tell him those things, and Feng Yi wouldn't say much either.
Uncle Bao saw Feng Yi today and was worried about him again.
"Be safe when traveling!"
"I know. I'm just staying in the hotel and not going anywhere else. I will go back to Yangcheng after I finish handling the matters with the Joint Security Bureau." Feng Yi said.
"That's good! If you go out, be sure to bring more people with you. There are too many people paying attention to you in N City recently."
Although Uncle Bao really wants to chat with Feng Yi for a while, why does the mainstream media have such an attitude?
But there is really no time now. Just now, the subordinate gave Uncle Bao another gesture to remind him of the time.
"I have an important meeting later, to meet an old friend. Let's talk when we have time!" Uncle Bao said.
"Well, Uncle Leopard, go ahead and get busy."
Feng Yi paused, looked at Uncle Bao's strong emotional messages, and said:
"Uncle Leopard, please pay attention to your safety. Be more careful."
Hearing Feng Yi's words, Uncle Bao couldn't help but smile, and the boy even warned him in turn!
"Uncle Leopard, I understand, don't worry."
Unexpectedly, Uncle Bao raised his hand and pulled out the large gold chain he was wearing, letting Feng Yi see a copper coin hanging on the gold chain. As if joking, he also said in a comforting tone:
"It will protect me."
This copper coin belongs to Uncle Bao's own zodiac sign. He once wore it for his daughter. Later, he went to Yangcheng to attend the ancestral ceremony there. When he met Feng Yi, Feng Yi gave him a new zodiac sign for his daughter.
daughter.
After that, Uncle Bao put back his own zodiac coin. Feng Yi glanced at the zodiac coin and said, "It doesn't have that function." Don't be overly superstitious!
"I know. But, for me, this is a belief." Uncle Bao stuffed the copper coin pendant back into his collar.
Smiling and waving to Feng Yi, he walked towards the car parked not far away.
After sitting in the car, Uncle Bao's smile disappeared completely, his face darkened, and the car was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
"Let's go."
Several black cars left the hotel, drove past the bustling high-rise buildings, and turned into a certain street.
There are no tall buildings here. The buildings on both sides of the street are quite old. There are shops that sell everything. The neon lights are flashing and the excitement at night has just begun. Continuing forward, there is an alley near the end of the street.
There is no conspicuous signboard outside, but usually at this time, there will be many customers' vehicles parked here. But tonight it was very empty.
A group of cars drove over and stopped in the open space.
There were people waiting at the entrance of the alley. When they saw the person coming, they hurried over and whispered: "Brother Bao, he is indeed the only one in there."
"Well, the others stay here, Ryan comes with me."
"Brother Bao, I really don't want anyone to follow you."
Brother Bao waved his hand and walked inside.
Walking into the alley and continuing inside, the lights are not bright and it is slightly dark.
Open a door and go down the narrow stairs.
There is a bar here.
However, for this meeting today, it is not open to the public.
Brother Bao looked at the wall of the stairs.
There are still graffiti on the wall from more than 20 years ago, some painted by him and his old friends, and some painted by younger children.
Things are different and people are different.
He withdrew his gaze, opened the door in front and walked in.
There were no other guests today, so the lighting seemed to lack some mood.
There was already a man sitting at the bar. Hearing the noise, he picked up a bottle of whiskey and poured two glasses.
The subordinate Ryan who followed over, at Brother Bao's signal, hesitated, stood outside the door, and closed the door.
Inside the door, there were only two long-time friends.
Outside the alley, more old-fashioned neon lights lit up, and the streets that were inconspicuous during the day became more colorful at night.
People with a rich nightlife are talking, laughing and noisy.
The people guarding the alley looked at the street.
When I was a kid, the houses here looked very old. Looking at it now, they are still the same.
Old.
It has been more than twenty years and it seems that not much has changed here.
Alas, I don’t know what Brother Bao is talking about inside...
boom!
A huge explosion suddenly sounded in the alley.
The people guarding the alley were rushed to the ground.
Ignoring wiping the blood on his forehead, he looked into the alley in shock.
The old building is already crumbling.
Speakeasy.
All the lights in the room went out and it was a complete mess.
Brother Bao was choked by dust and coughed.
He noticed something was wrong just now and reacted quickly, but he was still trapped here. He was betrayed by this old friend whom he trusted so much in such a violent way. His heart was so complicated that he had no time to think about it. Now he only had one thought.
--go out!
The buildings here have been built for too long and cannot withstand such an impact.
Ryan couldn't stand still due to the impact just now, but he was in much better condition than Brother Bao and came to help him: "Brother Bao, leave quickly! This place is going to collapse!"
The surroundings were dark, with only a flickering light from time to time allowing them to identify their direction.
When I took out my phone, the screen was cracked and some functions were abnormal, but the flashlight still worked.
Someone must have called for rescue outside. What they need to do now is get out of here as soon as possible!
Unable to see clearly what was under their feet, the two stumbled towards the exit. There were flickering lights there, and it was people outside trying to rescue them.
Outside the alley.
The parked vehicles blared fierce sirens due to the explosion. The screams and shouts of the crowd were mixed in, and it was difficult to hear what was being shouted.
It seemed that I heard my own voice, or there were other voices, and my hearing was shocked and became less sensitive.
Their thinking nerves were also affected, making them slightly sluggish. However, years of experience and desire to survive still allowed them to accurately judge the direction of the exit and possible obstacles.
Dust and debris kept falling from above, and they didn't know what would fall next. They quickened their pace.
The closer you get to the exit, the more you can hear people outside shouting to clear the obstacles blocking it.
Hurry up!
boom--
The floor above suddenly sank, the steel of the light frame made a sharp and fragile creaking sound, and various old and new building materials cracked and fell.
At that moment, their minds went blank for a moment, thinking that the floor would directly press down. However, the floor sank for a while and then stopped, just above their heads.
Their feet didn't let up at all, and they still headed towards the exit.
Buzz——
The zodiac sign worn around the neck vibrates with money.
Brother Bao's thoughts were confused. He was very familiar with this sound. In order to prove to his daughter that copper coins could scream, he used tools to test many copper coins. This is a kind of energy resonance.
But why does it call itself when there is no specific tool to activate it? Why?
Uncle Bao, who was being helped out by his subordinates, looked back if he felt something.
Bah--
Sparks erupted from the electronic equipment, and a not-so-bright light flashed past. But he also saw that there seemed to be a human figure there.
Still a bit familiar...
who is it?
Who is it?
He opened his mouth and wanted to shout something, but it seemed as if he had lost his voice and no sound came out.
Too shocked, too confused in thinking, completely out of control at the moment.
When he was successfully taken out, Uncle Bao was still in a daze.
boom--
The dilapidated building finally collapsed.
The surrounding vehicles were shaken and sounded piercing sirens again, and their lights flashed, making people panic.
"Brother Leopard? Brother Leopard, are you okay?!" Someone called him next to him.
Brother Bao came back to his senses slightly and looked at Ryan who had just helped him out: "How are you?"
This is Ryan
He reassured and wiped the blood on his head: "I'm fine. I may have had tinnitus due to the shock just now. I kept hearing a buzzing sound. I'm fine now. What about you, Brother Bao? Do you have tinnitus?"
"...Nothing's wrong." Brother Bao said.
On the pendant, the zodiac sign has stopped buzzing.
He clutched the zodiac coin tightly through his shirt, his fingers still trembling. When Ryan saw this, he thought he was in trouble, and exclaimed: "Brother Bao! Are you okay? Someone, come quickly!"
Brother Bao waved his hand: "Stop barking! It's okay!"
"How is everyone?" he asked again.
"Everyone is fine. Only two of them were slightly injured. They were unconscious just now, but they are not serious." Ryan said. But he still urged the medical staff who came over uneasily.
Everyone's lives are safe. Brother Bao doesn't have so many grudges and hatreds in his mind now. What keeps flashing back is the scene he just saw in the dark and critical situation of the underground bar.
Thinking about that familiar figure in the faint light of the spark.
familiar……
After so many years of experience, he thinks he can identify people very accurately. Even in dim light, he will never make a mistake!
Brother Bao's fingers holding the zodiac sign's money trembled even more, and he dragged a subordinate who had been guarding outside the alley. Under the intense emotional impact, his words were a little incoherent.
"Have you seen... seen... the wind... Feng Yi?" he asked.
"Brother Bao, who are you talking about? Feng Yi? I saw it!"
The subordinate didn't expect to be asked about Feng Yi suddenly. Although he didn't know the reason, he still answered honestly.
Brother Bao's breathing was stagnant and his voice was hard.
"Where is he? Where is he?!"
With such a violent reaction, the subordinate thought that the matter was related to Feng Yi, so he did not dare to delay. He immediately took out his mobile phone, opened the circle of friends, and then handed it to Brother Bao: "A person I know just had dinner in the hotel. I met you.
I went to Fengyi and took a secret photo...Brother Bao, is there something wrong with him?!"
Brother Bao stared blankly at the circle of friends displayed on his phone. The person in the photo was indeed Feng Yi, whom he had met in the hotel before coming here. He was indeed wearing the same clothes, and the background was also a VIP restaurant on a certain floor of the hotel.
Rubbing his eyes, he looked at the release time. It was just now.
In other words, it is impossible for Feng Yi to appear in two places so far apart at the same time!
Your friend saw Feng Yi, so who did I see?
Such a familiar figure!
Did I see something wrong?
The person standing there is not Feng Yi?
If not Feng Yi, then who?
Or is it that there was a hallucination at that time, but no one was actually there?
No, no, no, there must be someone!
Who is it?
He clutched the zodiac signs under his shirt to spend money.
