Before, Russell was just protecting ice water. Let's check whether this incident is really related to history.
If it was really related to real history, he would have called the deer-headed statue and Bad Sun and intervened as a "barber".
But things are different now.
Russell hadn't even found anything yet. He was assassinated for no apparent reason as soon as he left the house. His friend was also injured and hospitalized directly.
Now, this matter is directly related to him.
[From this point of view, it can’t be said that they didn’t do anything. They at least angered you, right? 】
The vessel of God watched the excitement with great interest:
[Perhaps, this is another group of people... Their purpose is to anger you? 】
"Then I can only say that they have succeeded."
Russell narrowed his eyes: "Whether it's one group or two groups, whether someone is in a hurry or someone is trying to make a fuss, if you want to arrest them, let's arrest them together."
The three of them walked all the way to the bottom of Tian'en Daily without continuing to chat or laugh. It was obvious that the three of them were not in a good mood.
As soon as he arrived downstairs, Russell saw the vice president of Tian'en Daily standing at the door, seemingly waiting for someone.
When he saw Russell and the others, he immediately waved to this side: "Mr. Ultramarine! Ice water!"
It was a giraffe wearing a suit, tie, glasses, and only two legs.
"What's the matter, Mr. Lookout?"
Russell was familiar with him, so he asked directly: "What happened? Why are you waiting for us here all of a sudden?"
"Something did happen. Just about fifteen minutes ago, Miss Bingshui sent me a message saying that shortly after you were attacked, there was a sudden explosion in her office.
"The surveillance room said that no one entered or came out at the door. It is speculated that something was thrown in, but it cannot be ruled out that someone sneaked in invisible."
The vice president looked forward to bending his long neck slightly, so that Russell would not be too tired to lift his head.
He pushed up his glasses to prevent them from slipping.
Then he reached out and rubbed his head, and said a little tiredly: "I didn't notify the execution department immediately... I think you also know why. I tried my best to enforce security on the scene, and the situation there should be peaceful now.
Just like when there was an explosion..."
Although Mr. Giraffe, codenamed "Lookout", did not say it directly, Russell knew what he meant.
People like Zong Wang are all human beings. The moment they heard Bing Shui report that they were attacked, they realized that there was something wrong with the execution department.
If he had called the enforcement department over immediately, some important evidence might have been destroyed.
It's not that he is particularly concerned about Bing Shui, but he is afraid of the "hero" Ultramarine. After all, the hero's status in Happy Island is very high.
Ultramarine was suddenly attacked and must have been furious.
If another problem occurs on your side and the evidence is destroyed, then as a leader, you will have to bear the decision-making responsibility no matter what.
Zhan Wang reached out and rubbed his head vigorously.
Severe spiritual syndrome caused his blood pressure to be naturally high, and now his blood pressure seems to be even higher.
"How is the situation on site?"
"I can't say."
Outlook hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Mr. Ultramarine, you should go and see for yourself."
With that said, he took Russell and Bing Shui into the elevator together.
The autumn leaf symbol signaled them to enter the elevator.
She exchanged looks with Russell, nodded slightly to Russell, and then walked slowly towards the stairs.
Because of the incidents that happened one after another, Bing Shui felt a little uneasy when he stayed in the elevator.
As soon as she entered the elevator, she tensed her body and felt as if the elevator would suddenly cut the rope and fall.
When standing behind Russell, Bing Shui subconsciously wanted to hug Russell's arm.
But she had just stretched out her hand halfway when she thought of something and slowly put her hand down.
Russell noticed her panic.
He stretched out his hand and took Bing Shui's hand generously.
His hands were very warm, as hot as a cat.
"Don't worry," Russell said seriously, "I'm here."
"……Thanks."
Bing Shui paused for a moment and responded softly: "Actually, now... I'm starting to regret it a little bit."
If I had rejected Xia and not gone to Xiacheng District for the live broadcast, then maybe I would not be the chief reporter now... In that case, would the situation be better?
But after being silent for a while, she still sighed.
"I probably know what you are thinking, Miss Bingshui," suddenly, Mr. Lookout said, "but I have to pour a basin of cold water on you. In any case, as long as Miss Bai Xue dies, someone will still take over her job.
"Originally, you were also the top candidate. Besides you, Miss Lan Xuehua was ranked slightly higher than you.
"But she doesn't know Mr. Ultramarine. Think about it, if she encountered such danger, wouldn't she die directly, or be kidnapped and controlled?"
"……really."
Bing Shui nodded slightly and managed to cheer up.
Now is the best case scenario.
If someone must face danger, it might as well be you...
"Thank you, President Wangwang."
Bing Shui said softly.
"It's nothing," President Wang Wang walked out of the elevator door and sighed, "After all, I can't help you.
"It would be great if Miss Xiao Liuli was still here."
Hearing this, the ice water that came out was a little surprised.
She raised her head and asked tentatively: "But Miss Liuli, isn't it said that she has something to do with the Xiacheng District organization..."
"Even so, we can at least fight back. We won't be sealed in the building waiting for investigation like now, unable to move."
Vice President Wangwang shook his head slightly. His too-long neck often felt tired because of this: "If you ask me, the security forces on the outer islands are really just like that, not as good as the city. Ah... I'm sorry, Ultramarine
Sir, I mean, the people in those branches don’t want to protect us at all, they are just messing around..."
"I understand."
Russell nodded slightly, indicating something: "If Xiao Liuli was still here, this kind of thing would not happen.
"Speaking of which, why would the president think of ordering security services from an outer island?"
"It is said that it was decided by the board of directors."
Liaowang was not sure: "The president didn't tell me clearly... Do you want to ask the president?"
"Let's go see Miss Bingshui's office first."
Russell shook his head.
The chief reporter's office is on the top floor of the building, which is the helicopter landing pad on the 28th floor.
When there is news, just go upstairs and you can be there in ten seconds.
But when Russell saw this office, he was speechless for a moment.
Rather than saying it was blown up with some kind of explosive... it would be better to say it was attacked by something like a missile.
One of the outer walls collapsed, and the side near the corridor was also full of cracks. The inside was even more of a mess...even if there was anything, it was probably hard to survive.
Her office has been completely destroyed.
"...Since it has been destroyed to this extent," Bing Shui asked hesitantly, "is this matter considered over?"
"I'm afraid not."
Russell shook his head.
Under the guidance of the God's Vessel, he accurately found a metal piece from a pile of ruins.
It was a metal fragment, which had been distorted by the high temperature, but it could still be seen that it was originally part of a circular icon.
That should be a six-pointed star inlaid inside the Ouroboros.
That is the trademark of Shenzhi Heavy Industries.
It was supposed to be part of something larger, but the other parts had disappeared.
Russell asked: "I remember that Miss Bai Xue's personal bodyguard... was sponsored by Sanzhi Heavy Industry, right?"
"...Is this a repeat of the Xiao Liuli incident?"
President Wang looked a little ugly.
"It shouldn't be that simple this time."
Russell narrowed his eyes slightly.
He remembered the story of "father and son" that Delphinium told him. It was also the last incident that Miss Bai Xue investigated.
The son of the kidnapped person seems to have gone to work for the Sanoshin Heavy Industry not long ago.
And Miss Bai Xue's personal bodyguard is also a bodyguard sponsored by Sanzhi Heavy Industry.
Now the sign of Sanzhi Heavy Industry is still found here...
"...I caught you."
Russell murmured softly.
