Chapter 1061 Lunch Was Just Eaten
"You're asking for death!"
"You're the one asking for death!"
Chen Xuan kicked the leader in the chest. The leader flew backward, and the camera in his hand instantly soared into the air.
"The camera!" Xia Yilin cried out urgently when she saw this.
Hearing this, Chen Xuan's pupils contracted. He lunged forward, leaped high, grabbed the camera, and landed steadily.
Seeing that Chen Xuan had retrieved the camera, Xia Yilin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the weight in her heart was lifted.
"You brat, you just wait for me..."
The leader's chest ached intensely, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He glared at Chen Xuan menacingly, uttered this threat, turned, and fled.
Seeing this, his subordinates dared not linger. They also scrambled to escape, fearing that if they left any later, Chen Xuan would deal with them.
"Here's your camera. See if it's alright."
Chen Xuan, too lazy to deal with these thugs, turned and handed the camera to Xia Yilin.
Xia Yilin took the camera and checked the photos and videos. The next moment, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, nothing is missing. The evidence I captured is all in here."
"Thank you, Chen Xuan!"
She looked at Chen Xuan gratefully.
Because she had offended Chen Xuan, the reporter, Sister Wu, who had brought her along, was fired. Xia Yilin was also promoted from intern to full-time reporter. This was her first solo undercover investigation. If she had failed, it would have been a huge blow to her. Fortunately, she met Chen Xuan.
"You're welcome."
Chen Xuan waved his hand, then glanced at Xia Yilin's camera. Curiosity piqued, he said, "Can I see what was captured in the camera?"
"Perhaps it's better not to."
Xia Yilin hesitated.
"If it involves your journalistic secrets, then forget it," Chen Xuan said indifferently.
"That's not it. I'm worried you'll have a psychological shadow after seeing it," Xia Yilin said, waving her hands.
Chen Xuan had helped her so much. She believed Chen Xuan was a reliable man who would absolutely not leak any secrets.
"My mental fortitude is very strong, don't underestimate me."
Chen Xuan patted his chest.
"Alright."
Xia Yilin then handed the camera to Chen Xuan and turned it on for him.
The camera was an all-in-one device for photos and videos. The first thing that caught his eye was a photo.
In the photo, several men in T-shirts and shorts, barefoot, were stepping on sauerkraut in a dirt pit.
Some were smoking, some were scratching their heads, and their dandruff could be seen falling like snowflakes.
Judging by their appearance, they seemed to be selling sauerkraut. A scale was placed in the sauerkraut pit, pressing down on the sauerkraut. Several workers were busy scooping sauerkraut with their hands.
It was particularly noticeable that there was a cigarette butt in the sauerkraut.
Seeing this photo, Chen Xuan already started to feel nauseous. Damn it, why did he have to be so stubborn and look at this photo?
However, Chen Xuan gritted his teeth and continued, refusing to back down.
Then, the second item was a video. It showed someone urinating next to the sauerkraut pit. Although it wasn't close, some splashes could be faintly seen hitting the sauerkraut in the pit. After the employee finished, without even washing his hands, he jumped into the sauerkraut pit to scoop sauerkraut...
Seeing this, Chen Xuan could no longer bear it and gagged.
As expected, curiosity killed the cat!
"Here's your camera!"
Seeing Chen Xuan about to throw up, Xia Yilin covered her mouth and chuckled softly. She said with surprise, "I didn't expect that valiant and mighty supreme expert would also want to vomit."
In this moment, she felt Chen Xuan was more real. In her eyes, Chen Xuan had always been aloof, like a big star.
"I'm also human... I just ate Master Suan Cai instant noodles for lunch..."
Chen Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Xia Yilin covered her mouth and giggled, "No wonder..."
Chen Xuan seemed to hold a grudge, gritting his teeth. "Damn it, I should have killed them just now!"
Thinking that he had let those guys go earlier, Chen Xuan was filled with regret.
"It's okay. Once I break this news, they'll become like rats crossing the street, unable to harm anyone again! And the public won't have to eat such unhygienic things," Xia Yilin said confidently.
Xia Yilin was a courageous and righteous young girl. Her original goal was to become a police officer, but her weak physique was not suitable for it, so she became a reporter.
She wanted to use her pen and the camera around her neck to realize her life's value.
Thus, she became an intern reporter at a newspaper agency with excellent grades. She initially thought reporting was about seeking truth, but after meeting Sister Wu, her ideas changed. At that time, she doubted if she had chosen the wrong profession and even wanted to quit being a reporter.
Fortunately, she later met Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan helped her regain her spirit, leading her to officially become a reporter.
Listening to Xia Yilin, Chen Xuan secretly shook his head. This world was far more complicated than she imagined.
"Where do you live? Shall I give you a ride home?"
Chen Xuan looked at Xia Yilin.
"No need. It's still early. Can you take me back to the newspaper agency? I can't wait to hand this news over to our editor-in-chief."
"It's so late already?" Chen Xuan frowned.
But Xia Yilin said, "No, if I don't release this today, what if someone doesn't eat dinner and eats Master Suan Cai instant noodles tonight?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan felt Xia Yilin had a point. "Then I'll take you to your newspaper agency."
Xia Yilin didn't refuse and smiled, "Thank you!"
Chen Xuan then drove to a newspaper building with over twenty floors. The building housed two-thirds of the province's newspaper agencies and was quite famous in the provincial capital.
"Thank you! I'll treat you to a meal another day!"
Xia Yilin waved goodbye, holding her camera, and eagerly jumped out of the car, walking towards the building.
After watching Xia Yilin leave, Chen Xuan retracted his gaze.
However, he didn't leave. Instead, he called Yang Chaotian.
"Mr. Chen, is there something?"
A moment later, Yang Chaotian answered the phone.
Yang Chaotian also had no wife and was eating instant noodles...
Hmm... still Master Suan Cai instant noodles.
Chen Xuan told Yang Chaotian what had happened. Then, there was silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a "plop" sound and the sound of vomiting.
He asked, confused, "Yang Chaotian, are you listening to me? What's wrong?"
"Mr. Chen, I don't feel like cooking today. I was eating instant noodles, Master Suan Cai instant noodles..."
Yang Chaotian's voice was strange.
Chen Xuan burst out laughing, "Hahaha!"
Yang Chaotian was even more miserable than him. At least he had already eaten.
"Mr. Chen, are you telling the truth?" Yang Chaotian looked at the Master Suan Cai instant noodles in front of him, unable to believe it.
"Of course, it's true. The reporter was being chased, and I saw the photos," Chen Xuan nodded earnestly.
"Damn it, unscrupulous merchants!"
Yang Chaotian clenched his fists, gritting his teeth and said, "Mr. Chen, what do you want me to do?"
