Chapter 647, heavy as a mountain
Ren Xiaosu guarding Hope Media’s courtyard wasn’t a pointless move, if those ill-intentioned people in this ledge wanted to make the entire Luo City really chaotic, just hijacking some unimportant residents in some unimportant places wouldn’t serve the purpose at all.
Just like now, the knights had stopped hesitating and chose to forcefully attack.
Putting aside the hostages in their hands and looking at it, those hostage-taking bandits were simply unbeatable in front of the regular army as well as the Transcendents.
So, what Ren Xiaosu and the others could think of, couldn’t the other side think of?
If they wanted to really hold back the garrison and the knights, and make the knights throw in the towel, then they had to capture the most important person.
Who is the most important? For the Green Harvest Group, Xu Ke was the most important, and the group behind Ren Xiaosu was also the most important.
Knight is the hardest skeleton of Green Harvest Group, if someone wants to hit Green Harvest Group’s idea, then they will actually use their hardest fist to smash the other party into smithereens.
Hope Media, on the other hand, was the essence of Green Harvest Group.
Before Ren Xiaosu chatted with Jiang Xu, he knew that this Hope Media was established by him and Xu Ke after discussing, behind this group of busy people in the midst of the chaos still hold on to their positions, not for a meager salary, not for fame and fortune, but for an ideal.
The sky gradually darkened, the building lit up, and under the lights, there are hundreds of people fighting for their ideals.
Aren’t they afraid? How can they be? Fear is a human instinct, it’s just that they can’t leave.
Today’s Hope Media newspaper was a bit special, three pages came out in one day, one page was normal, while the other two were thinner, only documenting these things that happened in Luo City.
Once the content of the text was vetted and approved, it was immediately passed over via satellite to the Hope Media branches throughout the Barrier Alliance to be printed locally.
Jiang Xu did this because he wanted to shout to the world through the power in his hands, letting the world see what was happening in Luo City.
Only, the local Hope Media branches also encountered some resistance, as the Kong Consortium’s printing presses suddenly started refusing to print Hope Media’s newspapers.
The Kong’s Consortium wasn’t very forceful in their refusal, but the printing plant said that the plant’s stock of paper had run out, and that they were really sorry that they couldn’t print today, but only tomorrow.
It is clear that they want to get through today and then say, as for tomorrow, it is hard to say whether Hope Media is still there or not.
The entire Central Plains consortium forces, only the kindling company has always remained silent, as if staying out of it.
In the past, everyone thought that Fire Seed and Green Harvest were in a relationship of mutual help, but unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Fire Seed chose to stand by and watch with folded arms.
No one knew what Spark was doing, and no one had the energy to pay attention to them anymore, everything was waiting for tonight to pass!
Jiang Xu stood on the top floor of the building, feeling unusually tired because he had read too many manuscripts.
The deputy chief editor stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, looking at Ren Xiaosu sitting in the courtyard downstairs, the clothes that teenager was wearing were not expensive, and might even be a bit downbeat in the eyes of a lot of walled people, and the chair that the other party was sitting on was not imposing at all, it was just a broken wooden chair.
But I don’t know why, deputy editor-in-chief Ji Yi always felt as heavy as a mountain when he looked at the other party’s figure.
“Chief Editor, who is this teenager?” Ji Yi asked.
“The same person who said that line from the fifth edition.” Jiang Xu also got up and came to the glass window.
“He said that sentence?” Kiichi froze for a moment, “Then what is he doing now and why is he sitting in our yard?”
“He’s protecting us,” Jiang Xu smiled as he looked at Ren Xiaosu’s figure, “Telling everyone that there’s no need to be afraid, and that no one will be able to enter our Hope Media’s building tonight.”
“You trust him that much?” Ji Yi said doubtfully.
“At first, I thought that he might have heard that phrase from somewhere, so I only valued that phrase but not the person, I only thought that phrase was a gem in this era,” Jiang Xiu suddenly answered, “Later, I realized after slowly getting to know him that he was able to say that phrase, not by accidental. Well, get back to work, we still have a lot to do.”
At this time, the staff coming and going in the Hope Media building could all see Ren Xiaosu at the door, and the coworkers by the window would also occasionally glance at Ren Xiaosu’s back when they were tired.
Somehow, the panic in their hearts would settle down a little.
A female editor who had studied sketching even casually drew Ren Xiaosu’s back sitting on a chair with simple lines during a moment of rest.
Stable, serene, and confident.
It was as if no matter who came, they could not shake that teenager.
When night fell, Old Li and Zhang Qingxi’s side had also finally finished clearing out all the bandits, with many dead and injured hostages, it was good that there were staff from the Green Harvest Group who immediately came to stabilize the scene, and only then were they able to let Li Yingyun and his men detach themselves from the hostages’ family’s questioning.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu once again heard the sound of gunshots, and that crisp sound was like an instant that tore apart the night sky that had just calmed down.
He turned his head to look at the bright moon in the sky, the stringed moon like a hook.
At the same time, the Hope Media staff upstairs saw Ren Xiaosu stand up, everyone was a bit puzzled, the female editor who had outlined Ren Xiaosu with lines before said to the colleague beside her, “He’s getting up, is something about to happen?”
As soon as the words fell, they saw a group of bandits of unknown origin rushing in from outside the courtyard, loaded with guns.
And behind these people, there was another person wearing a combat uniform, walking alone as if he was walking idly.
As Ren Xiaosu had predicted, the other party would definitely strike at Hope Media if they wanted to create real chaos, and it was the world of the Transcendents from the moment night fell!
The bandits wearing black combat uniforms rushed towards the Hope building, like a group of black beasts, but they froze just as they rushed into the courtyard, in front of them, a teenager stood calmly.
Ren Xiaosu calmly said, “The last thing you should destroy is this place.”
In an instant, the bandits opened fire directly at Ren Xiaosu, and when the editors upstairs saw the blackness of the gunfire they all cried out in shock.
But it was in the blink of an eye that they saw the teenager who had been sitting in the courtyard for a long time actually leap up, and in an instant, he turned into a steel beast and smashed into the crowd of bandits!
When cold metal armor collided with human bones, there was only one result, and that was the bones shattering into slag.
Everyone on the Hope Media building stopped what they were doing and stood by the window to look at Ren Xiaosu.
A male reporter copied a chair and yelled, “If you’re a man, rush down with me to help him!”
As a result, Jiang Xu had already arrived at their office and said in a cold voice: “What are you all looking at here, don’t you think it’s messy enough? Get busy with what you’re doing, do you think he’s here to protect us? No, he is protecting what we are doing, fighting for the truth. Put away your unnecessary fervor and do the only thing of value you have right now, even if you die, all of you will die in the pursuit of the truth.”
