Hello Mr. King

Chapter 267: Is Life Nothing in Your Eyes?

He had never felt fear until now.

Yun Xiangxiang broke free of his grip and hugged him, falling into his arms, “Ah Mian, this is the trouble I invited. It’s an accident. Nobody can foresee that. Nobody can blame me, nor can they blame you.”

Song Mian loosened up a bit, but he still kept quiet.

Yun Xiangxiang escaped his embrace. She lifted his face and kissed him, “Never blame yourself for this, you hear me?!”

Yun Xiangxiang’s adorable ferocity amused the depressed Song Mian. He beamed.

Yun Xiangxiang kissed him on his lips, “I love that smile of yours. It’s as bright as the sun.”

Song Mian smiled more. He took in all of Yun Xiangxiang as if he couldn’t have enough of her.

Yun Xiangxiang looked back at him. His usually clear eyes were now bloodshot. They were still clear, but she was worried about him. She covered his eyes with her hands, “You need to rest.”

She video called him yesterday. His return flight would take more than ten hours. Song Mian rushed back right after he finished the call with her. He wouldn’t make it in time if he didn’t.

“I’ll do that after I get home,” Song Mian pulled her hand down and kissed it.

He couldn’t sleep well in the car. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t force him to sleep. She clasped his hand, fingers interlocked, “You didn’t have to rush back. It’s very touching, but also worrisome.”

“I did tell you that I may not be able to be by your side all the time, but I will appear at your darkest hour.”

Song Mian stared at her, “I would be restless if I didn’t come. If that were to happen, I could slip up in our experiment, which can cost us dearly if anyone makes any mistake.”

“Alright, you win,” Yun Xiangxiang glanced at him. “Don’t I have to go to the station to record my testimony?”

“No.” Song Mian replied curtly. “You’re frightened. You need to rest.”

Yun Xiangxiang smiled, “Alright, I’ll follow the doctor’s orders and wait for them to seek me out.”

Yun Xiangxiang followed Song Mian up to his home when they were back in the building. She stared at him intensely.

Song Mian obediently bathed and rested. He was a human, not a robot. His job was already consuming his concentration. He didn’t rest the whole day, fearing for Yun Xiangxiang, wondering if he would make it.

He fought with a criminal right after he came back. It was an exhausting day. Yun Xiangxiang stayed by his side and only left when he was fast asleep. The usually alert Song Mian didn’t even notice that she had left.

After she went back to her home, Yun Xiangxiang asked Song Qian, “Did you take back the thing I want?”

“It’s copied in here,” Song Qian gave her a USB drive.

Yun Xiangxiang booted up the computer and opened the video. It was the hospital’s CCTV. When she played it, she noticed something, much to her surprise, “It has audio?”

“En, their CCTV has a mic installed. The CCTV should have an audio recorder for places like the hospital,” Song Qian nodded.

Soundless footage would sometimes fail to show the true story. Hospitals were places where conflicts would happen frequently. Only videos that had audio were able to tell the whole story.

“This makes it better,” Yun Xiangxiang smiled. She cut down the video’s duration and saved it before uploading it to Weibo.

[Actress Yun Xiangxiang V: I came across a car crash today that involved a mother and her child. My friend, who knows about medicine, said they had to be treated immediately, so I took them to the hospital for that. It didn’t take long after I got to the hospital when Newlead Weekly’s reporters swarmed the hospital and attacked me.

I’m not trying to ask anyone to make any judgments on my behalf, nor am I trying to promote what I did. I want to know what does it mean to be the media. What does it mean to be a reporter?

I want to ask the staff of Newlead this. You guys barged into a hospital’s emergency department just because you wanted to get an attention-grabbing headline without verifying the truth. Is that the principle you guys are upholding?

Before all of you stupidly rushed in, have you ever thought about the lives that could be lost because of your obsession with fake news?

Is life nothing in your eyes?]

Did they think they could earn that kind of money doing whatever they wanted?

Did they ever think about the inconvenience they brought with them? The healthcare workers who were delayed because they had to keep them in line?

Did they ever think about the lives that desperately needed saving? Perhaps the difference of a single minute could decide the patient’s life or death.

[I knew news outlets are just lying pricks who loved to twist facts. But this is a new low.]

[Even if it’s not slander, what they did was disgusting. If the enforcers don’t double down on them, does that mean other news outlets would do the same thing without fear?]

[Yeah. Today they barged into the hospital. Tomorrow it might be the police station.]

[I strongly urge the enforcers to punish these scumbags harshly! They have disrupted the order of society!]

[I strongly urge for severe punishment.]

[They must be harshly punished!]

Yun Xiangxiang’s fans were furious after they saw what she posted.

Yun Xiangxiang’s act of kindness was uploaded to the Net, and her fans were feeling proud of her.

They didn’t know about what happened in the hospital. These reporters were hired to be a distraction. They wouldn’t report about this.

They probably didn’t know that what they did almost endangered Yun Xiangxiang. They thought they could get away with it by saying the information they received was false. The most they had to do was apologize sincerely.

They did not expect Yun Xiangxiang to make a public interrogation. She escalated their action to the point where they disregarded the sanctity of life and disrupted public order.

It wasn’t enough that her fans tagged all the governmental departments. Stars like Lu Jin, Xue Yu, Li Man, and He Xingzhou reposted it. Huan Yu was also protecting its actress.

Companies who had ties with them reposted it when they noticed that this was something worthy of support.

A new hashtag appeared in Trending on Weibo: #MediasWorkEthics#.

This was a sensitive issue. More and more people joined in. Some of Yun Xiangxiang’s fans, who were top students, wrote articles about the victims of the media’s biased reporting.

Many news outlets criticized this phenomenon, saying that they were a canker in the media world. The topic gained momentum.

The government had to look into this. They immediately stated that they would verify what happened and that they would not cover up for any individual or organization that negatively affected society.

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t follow up on this matter after she made the post. She wasn’t taking revenge on them when she posted this. She just needed to teach those without morals and a bottom line a lesson.
