Chapter 172 Storm of Public Opinion

In this storm of public opinion, Wang Qiang also faced a difficult choice. As a journalist, he was well aware of his responsibilities and mission: not only to expose the truth, but also to protect the safety of himself and those around him.

As the report spread, he received many threatening messages from the Black Wing Society. Those messages were like invisible chains, tightly binding his heart. He began to worry about his family and friends, fearing that they would be harmed because of his report.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would sit in front of the computer, constantly thinking about the contents of the threatening messages in his mind, his heart full of contradictions and struggles.

Once, he received an anonymous email with a photo of his family attached. In the photo, his family was standing at the door with a smile, as if conveying a silent concern to him.

The email contained only one sentence: "Your family is safe, as long as you stop reporting." These words pierced Wang Qiang's heart like a sharp knife, sending a sharp pain through him. He gripped the mouse tightly, his fingers trembling slightly, his heart filled with anger and helplessness. He knew that the Black Wing Society was pressuring him, trying to get him to succumb to their threats.

During that long night, Wang Qiang sat in front of his computer, thinking about his family and friends, imagining how they would be harmed by his reporting. His heart was filled with guilt and self-blame, as if he were a sinner who had pushed them to the brink of danger.

However, every time he was about to succumb to the threats of the Black Wing Society, images of the controlled psychics struggling in agony would resurface in his mind, as would images of Fu Siyuan, Zhang Wanqing, Li Wei, and others risking their lives to uncover the truth. He knew he couldn't retreat, couldn't let those evil deeds continue, and couldn't let those innocent people continue to be harmed.

Finally, after an intense ideological struggle, Wang Qiang made a difficult decision. He decided to continue reporting on the Black Wing Society's crimes, sharing more evidence and clues to the public, so that the truth could be revealed and the forces of justice could prevail over the forces of evil. He wanted to let the Black Wing Society know that he would not easily succumb to their threats. He would use his pen to seek justice for those controlled by superpowers and bring justice and light to society.

As the reports spread, public outrage erupted like a volcano, quickly spreading to every corner of the city. In the streets and alleys, people gathered in groups of three or four, discussing the crimes of the Black Wing Society, their faces filled with anger and confusion.

The old people were leaning on crutches, their brows furrowed, tears glistening in their eyes. They could not believe that in this peaceful era, there was such an evil organization that wantonly hurt innocent people. The young people were waving their fists, their eyes burning with rage. They loudly cursed the members of the "Black Wing Society" and vowed to seek justice for those controlled people with special abilities. The children snuggled up to their parents, their eyes full of fear and confusion. They did not understand why such terrible things would happen in this world.

On social media platforms, public outrage was unleashed like a wild horse, running wild. Countless comments and reposts were like sharp arrows, aiming directly at the heart of the Black Wing Society.

Some people angrily expressed their frustration: "This kind of organization should be completely eradicated; they have no reason to exist!" Someone else wrote sorrowfully: "Those controlled people with special abilities are so pitiful; they are also victims and deserve fair treatment." Still others passionately called for action: "The government should take action to bring these criminals to justice and restore justice to society!"

Discussions about the "Black Wing Society" were also in full swing on major forums and online forums, with netizens sharing their collected evidence and clues in an attempt to piece together a complete picture of the organization.

Someone shared a video in which a controlled psychic was struggling painfully in a laboratory, his body twitching constantly. His desperate eyes moved countless people to tears. Someone uploaded a group of photos, which showed members of the "Black Wing Society" conducting secret activities in various places. Their furtive whereabouts were chilling. Someone else compiled a detailed list of members of the "Black Wing Society", which densely recorded their names, identities and crimes, providing the public with a strong basis for supervision.

In this storm of public opinion, the power of the public was like a surging torrent, washing away the Black Wing Society's defenses and leaving it on the brink of collapse. People began to spontaneously organize themselves, forming various volunteer groups and supervisory organizations, actively participating in the campaign to expose the Black Wing Society's crimes.

They used their professional knowledge and skills to collect more evidence and clues to provide strong support for the task force; they took to the streets, holding slogans and banners, loudly protesting against the crimes of the "Black Wing Society" and calling on the government to take stronger actions; they also launched various public welfare activities on the Internet to provide help and support to those controlled people with special abilities, so that they can feel the warmth and care of society.

In a large protest, tens of thousands of citizens gathered in the square in the city center, holding signs and banners and shouting slogans, expressing their anger at the crimes of the Black Wing Society and their desire for justice.

The square was bustling with activity, like a seething ocean, each face etched with determination and perseverance. Among them were the elderly, the young, children, and people from all walks of life. They came from diverse backgrounds, yet united by a common goal. They believed that, with concerted efforts, they could completely eradicate the Black Wing Society and restore peace and tranquility to society.

Faced with strong public condemnation and pressure from public opinion, the government took swift action. The National Security Bureau, the police, and relevant departments jointly established a special task force to investigate the crimes of the Black Wing Society. The task force, comprised of elite individuals from various fields, drew on their extensive experience and keen insight to quickly engage in an intense and well-organized investigation.

The task force first closely monitored the movements of the Black Wing Society members. Using advanced technology, they comprehensively tracked their communication records, bank accounts, and social media accounts, attempting to locate their hiding places and any evidence of their crimes.

In a dimly lit monitoring room, the task force members stared intently at the screen, their fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard, recording every suspicious clue. They knew that time was of the essence, and only by finding the members of the "Black Wing Society" as soon as possible could they stop their conspiracy and protect the safety of society.

At the same time, the task force also conducted an in-depth investigation into the Black Wing Society's funding flows. They found that the organization's funding sources were complex and involved multiple countries and regions.

Some of the funds come from some powerful figures who provide a lot of financial support to the "Black Wing Society" in exchange for the organization's illegal interests; some of the funds come from some illegal transactions and criminal activities, such as smuggling and drug trafficking, which provide a continuous source of power for the operation of the "Black Wing Society".

The members of the task force were like a group of cheetahs, closely tracking the flow of these funds, trying to find their source, so as to destroy the economic foundation of the "Black Wing Society" in one fell swoop.
