I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

Brought back to the security room, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei were restrained to chairs, their wrists and ankles locked with heavy chains, unable to move. The security captain stood before them, a hint of pride in his eyes.

"You know too much." The security captain's voice was low and threatening. "Do you think you can expose us like this?"

Zhang Wanqing raised her head, a look of determination in her eyes. "The truth will eventually come out. You can't stop it."

Fu Siyuan held Zhang Wanqing's hand tightly, a hint of worry in his eyes. "Wanqing, we can't give up."

Li Wei gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness. "We will find an opportunity, and we will make them pay the price."

Next to the security room, the top executives of the pharmaceutical factory were holding an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with this crisis. There was a hint of panic in their eyes. They knew that if the evidence of Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei was made public, their plan would be completely ruined.

"We have to stop them," the general manager of the pharmaceutical company said with a hint of nervousness in his voice. "We can't let this secret leak out."

They began to plot countermeasures and decided to threaten and bribe Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei, hoping to make them give up the investigation.

In a luxuriously decorated conference room, a senior representative of the pharmaceutical company sat at the end of a long table, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop, a sly look in his eyes. He knew that Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei held evidence that could destroy the pharmaceutical company, and he had to take action.

"Please let them in." The senior representative's voice was calm and powerful.

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei were brought into the conference room. They looked alert and knew in their hearts that this would be a tough showdown.

"Please take a seat," the senior representative said with a surprisingly friendly smile. "I know you three have some misunderstandings about our pharmaceutical company."

Zhang Wanqing clutched the evidence in her hand. Her voice was firm and powerful: "This is not a misunderstanding. Your actions have violated the law."

The senior representative nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of understanding. "I understand your concerns, but please allow me to propose a solution."

The senior representative stood up and walked to the window. He stared through the glass at the distant city skyline. His voice was low and menacing: "You know, this world is not as simple as you think. Some things, once exposed, will have disastrous consequences."

Zhang Wanqing's brows furrowed. She knew this was a game of power, and she had to remain firm: "We can't give up the truth just because we're afraid of the consequences."

Fu Siyuan and Li Wei held each other's hands tightly, their eyes revealed a hint of nervousness, but their hearts were full of determination.

“You will face tremendous pressure, not only from us but also from the entire industry.” There was a hint of warning in the voice of the senior representative.

The senior representative turned around, a hint of temptation in his eyes: "However, if you are willing to give up the investigation, we are willing to make you an offer you can't refuse."

He described in detail the wealth and power they would gain, his voice full of seduction: "You will have everything you dream of, as long as you keep silent."

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei looked at each other. They knew that this was a huge temptation, but they had higher aspirations in their hearts.

"You actually used human beings for experiments. Do you know how many children have been ruined and how many families have been destroyed because of your problematic vaccines? We cannot sacrifice other people's lives for personal gain." Zhang Wanqing's voice was firm and powerful.

The senior representative sneered and said, "Oh, they are just making a small sacrifice in scientific research practice, in exchange for the happiness of more people."

"But they were randomly injected with the problematic vaccine without their knowledge. They had no chance to choose at all!" Zhang Wanqing retorted.

"There's nothing we can do about it, it's just fate!" said the senior representative coldly.

In the parking lot of the pharmaceutical factory, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei stood in front of their car, their eyes revealing a hint of struggle. They knew that the proposal of the senior representative was a huge temptation, but they had a deeper belief in their hearts.

"We can't give up," Zhang Wanqing said with a hint of determination in her voice. "Our mission is to uncover the truth and protect the innocent."

"Yes, no matter what the cost, we must persevere," said Fu Siyuan.

Li Wei gripped his weapon tightly, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness: "We will fight to the end until justice is served."

Back in the conference room, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei stood in front of the senior representatives, their eyes firm and powerful.

"We appreciate your proposal, but we cannot accept it." There was a hint of determination in Zhang Wanqing's voice.

The senior representative's face turned gloomy. He knew that the game had become more complicated.

The pharmaceutical company's senior representative, a middle-aged man in a well-tailored suit, sat in his spacious office. His eyes held a cold expression, and his fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk. After Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei firmly rejected his inducements, he decided to take a tougher approach.

"If money and power can't bring you to your knees, perhaps fear can." His voice was low and threatening.

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei were led by security into a small room with cold tiled walls and a dim light bulb swinging on the ceiling, casting mottled shadows. A sense of unease welled up in their hearts, but their eyes still shone with determination.

"You will regret your decision today." The senior representative's voice echoed in the empty room, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei were tied to heavy chairs, their wrists and ankles locked with thick iron chains, unable to move. The door to the room was slammed shut, leaving them in this cramped space to face an unknown fate.

Zhang Wanqing was filled with anxiety, knowing they had to find a way to escape quickly. She scanned the room, searching for any possible means of escape or weaknesses.

Fu Siyuan held Zhang Wanqing's hand tightly, a hint of worry in his eyes. Li Wei clenched his teeth, not caring at all.

In another room, factory security was destroying the evidence collected by Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei. Documents were thrown into a brazier, vaccine samples were smashed, and all data was completely erased from the computer. A senior representative stood nearby, his eyes revealing a hint of cold satisfaction.

"Make sure there are no traces left." There was a hint of command in his voice.

The security guards worked quickly and efficiently to ensure that all evidence was completely destroyed and there was nothing that could point to the pharmaceutical company's crimes.

In the prison room, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei began to discuss their situation. They knew that they had to find a way to fight the threat of the pharmaceutical factory, even if all the evidence was destroyed.
