The media in Liverpool had been hyping up the story of Mertz's lost ticket for almost a week. During this time, Liverpool also played a League Cup match, still with the Liverpool second team plus Chen Hero, and defeated Portsmouth 3:1 away, advancing to the semi-finals.

Although everyone in the city put in a great effort, they still couldn't find the ticket.

The fans who were standing with Mertz at the game at the time also recognized the old man, but they didn't remember anything that happened during the game, let alone the ticket.

The stadium manager of Goodison Park and the cleaner on duty that day were also interviewed, and their answers were equally blank. However, the manager knew that there was such an old man who came to ask, but he was helpless.

It was said before that Chris Bascombe had a good relationship with the Liverpool stars.

He originally thought that if he made a call in the newspaper, it would be no problem to mobilize tens of thousands of Liverpool fans, and finding the ticket would naturally be no problem.

Unexpectedly, after almost a week, there was still no progress.

The media's enthusiasm cannot last long, as a media person, he knows this very well.

Similarly, the public's interest also shifts quickly.

So if he doesn't think of other ways to hype this matter, I'm afraid that before the end of this week, everyone will lose interest. How many people will be left to help Mr. Mertz find the ticket then?

He decided to use his personal relationship with the stars and ask them to come forward and appeal, so that he could extend everyone's enthusiasm. The longer it lasted, the more hope there would be of finding it.

And it's a coincidence that there is an exclusive interview with Chen Hero tomorrow. Taking this opportunity to make this request, and cooperating with the exclusive interview article at that time, will definitely maximize the impact of this matter!

※※※

In fact, Chen Hero knew about this, but he was just paying attention. He didn't have time to run around Liverpool searching for a ticket. And he didn't know how to help specifically.

At this moment, as the interview was coming to an end, Chris Bascombe made this request.

"That, Hero... I don't know if you know about something recently..."

Don't look at Bascombe always acting like "I'm the leading reporter of the newspaper with the largest circulation in Liverpool" in front of others, but in front of Chen Hero, he really doesn't dare to put on the airs of a famous reporter. Everyone knows that Chen Hero is famous for not giving a damn about reporters. What if he has a good relationship with Gerrard? People also have a good relationship with the club owner!

In addition, having seen Chen Hero's crazy behavior of not recognizing anyone once he got angry, Bascombe also knew that he had better not provoke Chen Hero. Provoking him, it is unknown whether it would be bad for Chen Hero, but it would definitely be no good for him anyway. If people were to announce a boycott of the *Liverpool Echo*, then the Liverpool club would have no choice—the Liverpool club's owner and general manager have a close personal relationship with Chen Hero, and the coach Martin O'Neill treats Chen Hero almost like his own son...

Even if the *Liverpool Echo* has the highest sales in Liverpool, so what? People said to boycott and they boycotted. This madman dared to trick reporters into a press conference and take them all in one go, a bloody mess!

Who dares to go against him? That's purely looking for death!

Chen Hero nodded before Bascombe could finish speaking: "I know about this, and I'm also paying attention to it. It seems that no one has announced that they have found the ticket, or provided any clues about where the ticket is?"

Bascombe nodded: "Not yet."

Chen Hero also frowned: "Liverpool is so big, and there are so many people, how come no one has seen this ticket?"

"We have learned that if it is accidentally swept away by the cleaner as garbage, it will be pulled to the suburban garbage disposal plant by the garbage truck... But we also went to look for it... There is bad news, the garbage either went into the incinerator, or was recycled..."

"In short, it is impossible to find it in the garbage disposal plant, right?" Chen Hero asked.

Bascombe nodded with a sad expression.

This may be the worst result. The ticket was completely destroyed and completely disappeared from this world. There is never a possibility of returning to its owner's hands.

This is also a result that everyone is unwilling to accept, but after careful analysis, they feel that this possibility is quite high...

Chen Hero clapped his hands: "Don't think about such a bad result, I don't think it will be so bad. How about this, I will help that fan promote this matter in the game the day after tomorrow, hoping to attract more attention, and I can only help him in this way."

Bascombe was a little surprised. He was still wondering how to make this request to Chen Hero.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hero took the initiative to bring it up, which helped him solve a problem.

Bascombe made a "pleasant surprise" expression just right, and praised Chen Hero for being so warm-hearted, chivalrous, helpful, and a good example of learning... and so on.

Chen Hero waved his hand and did not accept his flattery.

"If there is any new information about the ticket, you must call me to notify me. Well... this is my mobile phone number..."

Bascombe quickly took out his mobile phone and wrote down the number reported by Chen Hero. At the same time, he was very happy in his heart—he didn't expect to have hooked up with Chen Hero because of this incident. Everyone knows that Chen Hero rarely has any dealings with reporters, and few reporters are allowed to call him directly. If he doesn't get permission, Chen Hero will put this number directly on the blacklist after confirming it, and you will never be able to get through if you call with this number again in the future.

Now he has a legitimate opportunity to further contact Chen Hero.

Speaking of which, he has to thank Dougal. If he hadn't brought Mertz to him, I'm afraid there wouldn't have been this subsequent story.

Chen Hero kept his word. He recorded a promotional video at home to help Mr. Mertz find his ticket, calling on everyone to help this poor old man.

"...What that ticket means to a Liverpool fan, I think everyone knows very well. So if possible, please try to help him and help him find that ticket. Please let a Hillsborough soul go home."

After Chen Hero finished recording the video, he sent it out directly through his Twitter account and Facebook account.

It quickly attracted the attention of netizens, and even non-British netizens left messages wishing Mr. Mertz could find his son's relics as soon as possible.

As mentioned earlier, there are always media outlets squatting on Chen Hero's Twitter and Facebook accounts, waiting to dig out some news from here.

So Chen Hero's video was quickly spread by reporters. Now it's not just the influence in Liverpool, the whole world knows about this!

Chris Bascombe, as the chief reporter of Liverpool's best-selling newspaper, worked hard for almost a week, and only expanded the influence of this matter to the entire Liverpool.

And Chen Hero only used one night to let the whole world know about this matter.

Famous reporters are still not as good as celebrities.

※※※

Chen Hero's actions made many people see his loving side. His image has always been that of a rude, straightforward, and heartless person, and love seems to have nothing to do with him.

Of course, he also had actions to help fans in the past, such as Phil Gibbs's matter. However, everyone thought that Chen Hero had known Phil Gibbs before, and he was just standing up for someone he knew.

This time is different. Samuel Mertz has nothing to do with him, and the two have never had any contact before. Chen Hero doesn't know him, and he doesn't know Chen Hero either.

Chen Hero can also record a video specifically and put it on the Internet to help Mertz, which has to make everyone look at him with admiration.

It seems that that idiot is gradually maturing...

In fact, Chen Hero did more than just these things.

In the weekend league match, Liverpool challenged Blackburn away.

That game was not a focal point, and even playing away, Liverpool people were not worried that their team would lose.

The fact was indeed the case, Liverpool defeated Blackburn 2:1 away.

There is nothing to say about the game itself, Chen Hero only scored one goal.

The key is his celebration after scoring the goal. He thought his jersey was in the way, so he took it off directly, revealing the vest inside with the words "Please help Samuel Mertz find his ticket" written on it, and then he pulled the hem of the vest with both hands, flattened the vest, and put it in front of the camera lens so they could film it.

For this, he received a yellow card.

But Chen Hero himself didn't care at all.

However, many Liverpool media outlets were fighting for Chen Hero.

They believed that the referee's approach was too inhumane. Chen Hero was obviously doing good deeds, looking for his son's relics for an old man who had lost his Hillsborough disaster ticket. Such a heartwarming thing was ruined by the referee's yellow card.

"The referee is simply here to spoil the atmosphere!"

They said angrily.

However, after their hype, this matter has been known to more people. Especially those fans who don't go online, they don't care what happened on Twitter. But they want to watch the game, and they also read the news in traditional media. Now they also know that there is a poor old man in Liverpool who needs help. The only relic his son left him—a ticket for the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989—was accidentally lost, and now the entire Liverpool is mobilizing fans to find this small ticket.

Because of Chen Hero's own topicality, this matter has naturally become the focus of reports in major media outlets throughout England.

Chen Hero really helped Mertz a lot this time.

And he hasn't even met this poor old man yet...
