I was a rookie reporter in the 00s
Chapter 54 The Flame of Truth
The report lists in detail the evidence of Blackstone Group's trafficking of cultural relics and money laundering, each item is accompanied by detailed documents and photos.
Zhang Wanqing used her journalistic credentials to contact some reliable media friends. She knew these friends had extensive influence in the industry and could help her spread the report online. She called one after another, explaining the urgency and importance of the situation.
"This report must be made public," Zhang Wanqing said in a firm and powerful voice. "The crimes of the Blackstone Group cannot be covered up."
Her friends in the media were moved by her determination and agreed to help her. They began to publish the report on their respective platforms and hype the incident online, which quickly heated up the situation.
The report's release immediately caused a huge stir. Social media was abuzz with condemnations and discussions of Blackstone, igniting public outrage. Netizens began forwarding and disseminating it en masse, and online comments, likes, and discussions spread rapidly. Zhang Wanqing and her media friends harnessed the power of social media to push the report into trending topics. They used various hashtags and hashtags to capture public attention.
Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan knew that they had successfully ignited the first fire, but the struggle had just begun. The Blackstone Group would not give up, and they had to prepare for the next storm.
Tags like "Blackstone Group's crimes," "Blackstone Group's illegal antiques trade," "Blackstone Group laundering money through film production," "Blackstone Group engaged in arms and drug trafficking," and "Exposing the Truth" quickly spread online, attracting widespread attention. People began discussing the "Blackstone Group's" crimes and demanding a government investigation.
Zhang Wanqing sat at her computer, closely monitoring the online news. Seeing her report being forwarded and commented on by more and more people, she felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Meanwhile, her and Fu Siyuan's phones kept ringing. Many people must have already figured out they were the source of the reports and were starting to think about public relations. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan ignored all this, letting the phones ring without answering.
As the incident unfolded, public reaction grew increasingly intense. Well-known online opinion leaders also began to take notice of the topic, posting comments one after another. People also began to follow their posts, expressing their own opinions on social media and demanding government action.
Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan knew that they had successfully ignited public anger, but this also meant that the Blackstone Group would fight back even more fiercely. They had to be prepared to protect themselves and their allies.
Under pressure from public opinion, the police and international organizations began investigating. Just as they were preparing to act, Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan began to feel pressure from the Blackstone Group. They received anonymous threatening messages warning them to stop the investigation. On one occasion, the antique shop was even vandalized late at night, an apparent warning from the Blackstone Group.
Zhang Wanqing was filled with anger, but she remained undeterred. She knew this was a sign of Blackstone's guilty conscience. She and Fu Siyuan became more cautious, using encrypted communication tools to ensure the security of their communications.
Fu Siyuan began to strengthen the antique shop's security measures, installing surveillance cameras and alarm systems. They knew that this fight could be very dangerous, but they had no way out.
As the truth was revealed, the Blackstone Group began to launch a more intense counterattack. They tried to suppress public opinion with money and power, and even began to make personal attacks on Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan.
Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan faced unprecedented pressure, but they did not give up. They began to seek more allies, including other victims oppressed by the Blackstone Group and some politicians and business people with conscience.
They know that this struggle will be a protracted one, but they are ready. They will use the spiritual beads in their hands to protect the world from the encroachment of the Black Stone Group.
As Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan uncover the Blackstone Group, they realize they need more help and support. Their investigation has already attracted the attention of the Blackstone Group, and they could face a greater threat at any moment. To protect themselves and their friends, they decide to seek out allies, especially in this complex and dangerous situation.
As night fell, Zhang Wanqing sat in her newspaper office, a cup of warm coffee in hand, her mind restless. Her gaze drifted over the neon lights outside the window, her mind reeling over the progress of her recent investigation. Although she had uncovered some of Blackstone's crimes, she knew that she and Fu Siyuan alone were no match for this massive organization.
"We need to find more allies." She said to Fu Siyuan with a hint of urgency in her voice.
Fu Siyuan nodded, a determined glint in his eyes. "Yes, we can contact some people who have been harmed by the Blackstone Group, or some influential figures in the antique world."
Zhang Wanqing's mind raced, and she considered several possible allies. First, there was Mr. Chen, the antique appraiser she had previously interviewed. He had a good reputation in the industry and could provide professional support. Second, there were influential collectors in the antique market who might strongly oppose Blackstone Group's actions.
"I'll contact Mr. Chen first," Zhang Wanqing decided. "He'll definitely be willing to help us."
The next day, Zhang Wanqing arranged to meet Mr. Chen at a café. The café was elegant, with artwork hanging on the walls and soft music playing. Zhang Wanqing sat by the window, feeling both excited and nervous.
Soon, Mr. Chen walked in, a kind smile on his face, holding a small bag full of antiques. Seeing Zhang Wanqing, he smiled slightly and walked forward: "Miss Zhang, I'm so glad to see you."
"Mr. Chen, thank you for taking the time to see me." Zhang Wanqing responded enthusiastically.
After the two sat down, Zhang Wanqing quickly got to the point: "I've been investigating the Blackstone Group recently and discovered that they're involved in illegal antiques trafficking, as well as drug and arms smuggling. I'd like to ask for your help to see if we can work together to expose their crimes."
Mr. Chen's expression grew serious, and he nodded. "I've heard of the Blackstone Group a long time ago. They're notorious in the antique world. Many people don't dare to stand up to them, but I believe the truth must be revealed."
Zhang Wanqing felt relieved. She knew that Mr. Chen's support would add strength to their plan. "We need your influence in the antique world to help us find more evidence."
During the meeting with Mr. Chen, Zhang Wanqing learned some inside information about the Blackstone Group. Mr. Chen mentioned that several antique collectors were also investigating the illegal transactions of the Blackstone Group and might be willing to join them.
"I can help you contact them," said Mr. Chen. "These collectors are people with conscience. They absolutely do not want to see their industry eroded by dark forces."
Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan felt a surge of excitement, knowing that having more allies would make their actions more powerful. A few days later, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Mr. Chen visited several antique collectors. Through their interactions, they gradually built trust. Many collectors expressed outrage at the Blackstone Group's actions and expressed a willingness to unite and expose the truth.
At a gathering, Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan showed the evidence they had collected to these collectors, detailing the crimes of the "Blackstone Group." As more and more people joined their ranks, Zhang Wanqing felt that he was building a powerful alliance.
After establishing this alliance, Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan began to develop a detailed plan. They decided to divide the work and cooperate, leveraging their respective strengths to combat the Blackstone Group. Zhang Wanqing would be responsible for writing reports and conducting media publicity, while Fu Siyuan would be responsible for collecting evidence and conducting field investigations.
"These evidences are enough to expose the crimes of the Blackstone Group, but we cannot act rashly because there are traitors within the government and the police. We must ensure that the people we find to help us are reliable." Mr. Chen's voice was firm and powerful.
