Chapter 32: Lighting up the Darkness

“I couldn’t argue with that,” Lu Yaohua thought.


Lu Yaohua admitted to himself that the disaster he was facing now was probably insignificant compared to what his ex-wife experienced.


He could not help but think, if he had not abandoned his wife and child back then, would he be living a better life than he was now?


One of the world’s top 500 companies, a world-class hospital, and this manor.


Seeking any collaboration he wanted would be just a piece of cake.


Lu Ming had long seen through their double-dealing ways. He said, “When you need me, you call me your son. When you don’t need me, you call me a bastard. Beasts like you are not even human!


Butler, please get them out.”


He emphasized the word ‘please’.


The old butler understood immediately. He called security and threw Lu Yaohua and Tang Wenyi out!


Tang Wenyi struggled with all her might!


As the daughter of the Tang family, she had never been thrown out by anyone.


“Let go of me! Let go of me! You let go of me! I’ll leave by myself! Bastard! Lu Ming! I’ll never let you off! Just you wait!”


In comparison, Lu Yaohua was much calmer.


He tried to struggle, but with his small physique, he was unable to break free from the two men!


The brothers chatted with Lu Ming for a while more before they left the manor.


Lu Ming did not stay for long. After handing over some work, he went home.


A few days later.


Lu Ming changed into a clean white shirt and light blue jeans and headed for Metropolitan Daily.


Metropolitan Daily looked like a black building from afar. The people inside basically carried cameras, notebooks, and pens with them.


Lu Ming saw someone who was obviously a reporter.


At this moment, the sun had just risen and not many people were around.


However, he saw people in pajamas, eating instant noodles at their workstations—which was quite a common sight.


Needless to say, they were working overtime at the office.


“Didn’t you go shoot some celebrity yesterday? How did it go? Did you find any big story?”


“That celebrity was really too cautious. I almost suspected that she had learned some counter-detection skills. I barely caught up with her and she got away. Oh right, the news that you posted a few days ago has gone viral!”


“For that piece of news, I hid in the neighborhood of a celebrity for a month before I managed to capture it.”


“You’re lucky. Some people followed celebrities for more than half a year but did not find a single big story!”



Lu Ming was at the door. When he heard these words, he could not help but sigh. “So this is Metropolitan Daily?” he thought.


The next second, someone bumped into his back. Fortunately, he managed to stabilize himself.


He turned around. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have stopped at the door.”


“Sorry, I didn’t watch where I was going.”


The two of them spoke in unison.


Then they looked at each other.


A short-haired woman in dress pants hugged the camera in her arms. Her black-framed glasses hid her nice features. She looked like a gentle and quiet person.


In the eyes of the short-haired woman, Lu Ming was like a college student who had just entered society. His handsome features were still childlike.


He looked like a young master from a good family.


She smiled and said, “We really have rapport! My name is Meng Yujun. What about you?”


“Lu Ming.”


Her smile was very infectious and Lu Ming could not help but smile.


Meng Yujun put her hand over her heart that had skipped a few beats and said, “I seem to have heard your name before? It should be my imagination, right?”


“Well, my name is very common. If I shout it out, I guarantee that there will be a few who turn back.”


Lu Ming mocked himself.


The two of them had just met for the first time, but they looked like old friends who had not met for many years.


For some reason, Meng Yujun felt particularly relaxed with him.


She asked, “Are you a new reporter? It’s not easy to get in here. You know, the salaries and benefits here are the best in the industry. Many people can’t get in even if they try their best. Were you very nervous during the interview?”


Lu Ming had never been to this place before. He could only say, “It was alright.”


Meng Yujun sized him up again in surprise and said, “Could it be… you were a straight-A student?!”


“Not exactly a straight-A student.”


He would not know what to say if she pursued this topic.


So he asked curiously, “Senior, can you impart some of your experience?”


“Senior?”


When Meng Yujun heard this, she was overjoyed. She said proudly, “Because you call me senior, I will have to teach you the real stuff. Let me tell you, as a reporter, you have to keep the truth in mind!


No matter how great the difficulties ahead are, we have to face them head-on. Everything we do is to deliver the truth to the public! And my life’s dream is to let the light shine on all the dark places! I’m willing to give up everything for this!”


Her eyes lit up as she was saying this.


Lu Ming could not help but be moved.


She continued. “I’ve been in the industry for almost six years, and I’ve seen a lot of things in the world. I was working at the Dawn Daily, but something happened, so I jumped ship and came here.”


Lu Ming was puzzled. “What was it?”


Meng Yujun paused. After seeing that he really wanted to know, she pulled him to a corner and whispered, “I’ve been investigating something.


After a few months of visiting places and interviewing people, I discovered that someone recently bribed the Yongan Cemetery administrator to prohibit people from cleaning the graves in a specified area.


Even visiting was prohibited. No matter how I looked at it, I felt that it was very strange. In addition, my curiosity was aroused, so I stuffed some money into the administrator’s hands. But he hemmed and hawed for a long time, and only revealed this little bit.”


She felt that it was a little regrettable.


If she had more money, the other party might have been willing to tell her more.


“I wonder who did this wicked thing, not even allowing people to sweep the graves. Were their ancestral graves dug up?”


She paused for a few seconds before continuing. “The weirdest thing was that when I wrote the report, the news was suppressed by a mysterious person. Even its popularity on the Internet cooled down immediately.”


It seemed to Lu Ming that this was not a small matter.


He pondered.


Then he asked, “What about the newspaper article?”


Meng Yujun sighed and said, “It was removed as soon as it was published. I’d already published it ten times, but the higher-ups warned me not to investigate anymore.”


Lu Ming was puzzled. “Why do you think that Metropolitan will announce this matter?”


Meng Yujun placed her hand on her chest and said firmly, “Because… everyone says that Metropolitan dares to publish anything. It’s the news media in Shanghai that can give a voice to the ordinary people!


I came here precisely because I believed it!”
