Chapter 280 Forgot a person
When Ye Yang's cell phone exploded, I was already standing outside the door of the newspaper's archives and watched with my own eyes as Xiao Wei crawled out of the secret room again.
This time, no one controlled the body. Xiaowei hugged the president's shoulders from behind, opened his mouth and bit his neck.
Before the female corpse's teeth touched the president's neck, the dagger I threw pierced into the president's shoulder, and the tip of the knife was right across the female corpse's mouth.
As soon as the female corpse's eyes became angry, I stepped into the archives room and said in a deep voice: "You'd better not move."
I knelt down and looked at the president and said, "Mr. President, should we talk?"
The president turned blue with fright: "Li...Mr. Li, help me!"
I said slowly: "I am the only one who can save you now, but it depends on whether you are worth saving. Tell me, what happened to Bai Xin?"
"Bai Xin, it has nothing to do with me..." As soon as the president said something, I pulled the dagger back a little.
The president immediately let out two screams. The first was because I cut his flesh when I pulled out the knife; the second was because Xiaowei took the opportunity to bite him.
Xiaowei's bite failed to kill him, but bit his neck until blood flowed.
I looked at the president with a faint smile: "I'm not listening to your excuse. If you keep talking nonsense, I will send you to the secret room and let you explain to Xiaowei whether you are guilty or not?"
The president cried bitterly: "I am guilty, guilty!"
The president said: "Five years ago, when I first took over the newspaper, Wancheng Daily was about to close down. At that time, I was worried about the sales of the newspaper every day."
"Later, the old director gave me an idea. He said that people nowadays like to hunt for novelties. No one reads regular newspapers. If we want to bring the newspaper back to life, we must find a strange way."
"I didn't understand what he meant by the strange move at the time. I just asked him to do it with the idea of giving it a try."
"The story written by Bai Xin attracted many people as soon as it was published, and the sales volume of the newspaper that month exceeded the target."
"But I didn't expect Bai Xin to start killing people!"
The president's eyes showed a hint of regret: "I was also frightened by this incident at the time. I called the old director directly into the office and asked him why he lied to me."
"Lao Dong took out a recording. I don't know how he did it. The recording sounded like I agreed to kill someone in vain."
"My old boss threatened me and said: If I obey, he can ensure that the sales volume of the newspaper will be No. 1 in Wan City. If I refuse to obey, he will ruin my reputation."
"I...I have no choice but to do so!"
I said with a gloomy face: "I told you, don't argue with me! Keep telling me what you know."
The president said: "Since then, Bai Xin has published a story every once in a while, and someone in our newspaper office will die."
"The two legends combined actually made the newspaper's sales lead. I acquiesced to this approach and helped them cover up some things."
The president didn't even dare to look at me. His so-called "tacit consent" was just a more pleasant word for "accomplice."
I asked in a deep voice: "Have you seen Bai Xin?"
"I haven't seen it!" The president shook his head and said, "Bai Xin has never appeared in front of me. Old Dong should have seen him... If you go to Old Dong, he will definitely know."
I waved my hand to interrupt him: "Whose idea was it to hire a warlock to chase Bai Xin?"
"It's also the old director!" The president said quickly: "The old director said that doing this would make Bai Xin more mysterious. So I did what he said."
"Old Dong, relying on his innocent support, doesn't take me seriously at all. I have to do what he said. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Those things were all done by the old Dong. I was just...I was forced to do nothing."
I said to myself: "With so many people dying in the newspaper office, is no one afraid? Why are they still in the newspaper office?"
The president thought I was asking him, and quickly explained: "Some people are afraid, and some resign, but they are only a minority. Most people stay because of high salary and benefits."
"Although they don't say it, everyone has amulets or something to ward off evil spirits. Only the interns don't know."
"By the way, the old director also said that we need to recruit more interns. Many college students can't find jobs. They are willing to take risks to stay here in order to make money. Especially those college students who come from rural areas are easier to fool.
"
When the president said this, Xiaowei's eyes were filled with coldness.
She is still conscious.
I asked again: "When I came here, I controlled you with my ghost eyes. How did you break free from my control?"
The president said: "Lao Dong knew you were coming, so he gave me a glass of talisman water the night before and asked me to drink it when you came in."
Only then did I remember that when I first entered the door, the president happened to be placing cups.
The other party knows everything about me!
I stood up and said, "Have you finished saying what needs to be said?"
Chapter completed!
