After Cooper stepped down, Eston was forced to step forward. "Reporter Helen, please don't misunderstand that Commander Cooper was indeed asked by me to support the police station's operations. During the operation, my subordinates died and seven were injured, and the losses were heavy. Commander Cooper was just worried that I was in a state of grief and anger and lost control, which replaced me." Eston was not sad or angry. At this moment, all he had was a huge loss that came to anger when he was only one step away from success.

Helen said coldly: "You don't need to explain anything to me, Director Eston, this is not an exclusive interview with a character. I can only record the objective process of the incident."

"We are not worried about your objective records. We will follow the charter to perform the responsibilities entrusted to us by the law." Eston smiled bitterly, then made a gesture of invitation to Cao Bin, and said, "Tom, I'm really sorry, this is my responsibility, please understand."

Cao Bin slowly stood up.

Eston greeted two subordinates, searched Cao Bin's body, and handcuffed Cao Bin's hands.

Eston waved his hand and asked his subordinate Cao Bin to take him away, and said to Helen: "According to the regulations, I must conduct a thorough search of the entrance of Anliangtang."

Helen responded coldly: "No one stops you, but I must remind you, Director Eston, I will report on this case continuously until the final trial of the court, and in the process, I do not want to see any accidents in the police station."

If a person is too mediocre, he will be despised.

On the contrary, if a person is too outstanding, he will inevitably attract jealousy.

In Kingsoft Post, Helen is the kind of jealous person.

From the day before the snowstorm, to the day when Cao Bin was imprisoned, it had been thirteen days since Helen left the newspaper without saying hello. This was definitely a rare opportunity for those who were jealous of Helen. They had already joined forces to put pressure on the newspaper editor three days ago, requiring the newspaper editor to never change the newspaper rules and regulations just because Helen was alone. The editor-in-chief naturally couldn't give up an excellent reporter like Helen, but he could not withstand this pressure in the end and issued the decision to remove Helen Powell yesterday morning.

"Helen, where have you been these days? Why don't you even say hello? Even if you call me and say it, I can find an excuse!" Faced with Helen's visit, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper was both shocked and regretful.

Helen smiled and said, "Mr. Editor-in-chief, I'm really sorry. That day, I encountered a blizzard during the interview. I almost died in that blizzard. It was the local people who rescued me. The communication there was not developed and my body had not been recovered, so I was unable to contact you."

The editor-in-chief showed a look of hope and said, "If you can find more than two witnesses, Helen, I can help you complain and restore your work in the newspaper. You know, you are an excellent reporter, and losing you by Kingsoft Post will be a huge loss."

Helen said: "Mr. Editor-in-chief, I came to you not for this purpose. Of course, it is of course a pleasure to be able to return to the newspaper office to work, but my body has not fully recovered. I don't know if I can adapt to the job of a reporter, but I promise you that I will not work in other newspapers except Kingsoft Post."

This may be the thing that the editor-in-chief is most worried about. After getting Helen's promise, the editor-in-chief's face became much gentler. "Helen, why are you here to come to me for?" The editor-in-chief got up in person, poured a glass of water for Helen, and continued: "Is there any difficulty in life?"

Helen took the water cup, shook her head, and said, "No, Mr. Editor, I have no difficulties in life. I came to you for a piece of news."

The editor-in-chief couldn't help but feel a little surprised and said, "News? Helen, what news clues have you grasped?"

Helen took a sip of water and replied: "A bomb occurred in Chinatown early this morning..."

The editor-in-chief interrupted Helen and said, "Yes, the police department is holding a press conference, and we have also been invited. Jane and Hayeswood should have arrived at the press conference."

Helen was stunned suddenly, and the water cup in her hand swayed for a moment, sprinkling some water. The editor-in-chief handed over a handkerchief very considerately. Helen wiped the water stains on her body and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Editor, the police station press conference is just one-sided, but I have grasped the truth of the incident."

The editor-in-chief shook his shoulders and said, "Helen, you know that if the case in Chinatown was characterized as a riot, then any newspaper and media can only issue an official statement unless you have enough evidence to prove that it is not a riot."

For Helen, it was obvious that strong evidence could not be collected. The scene in Chinatown had been cleaned up by Cooper and Eston's subordinates. The killer's body was thrown to the place. All of them were just a mess at the scene and fragments of the grenade thrown by Brother An Liang's cousin. What other evidence can be found in favor of Tom? It was not that Helen had not thought about this question, but that she could not think of the answer at all.

The truth is in her own hands, but Helen can't come up with any evidence to prove that the truth she has is the real truth. Cooper and Eston can openly separate themselves from the opium case, and make matters a matter, insisting that the explosion in Chinatown was a riot instructed by Tom.

If this case is just an ordinary fight in the martial arts world, then Helen still hopes to convince the editor-in-chief, but Eston took the initiative to characterize the case as a riot and held a press conference in the name of this. Then, any newspaper media that attended the press conference could only issue an official statement according to the regulations, unless there is enough evidence to overturn the characterization of the riot.

Helen hated herself one step slower than Eston.

The editor took a deep breath and continued: "Helen, I have worked with you for nearly ten years. I know you and know that you will not compile news for personal purposes. However, the system is the system. I want to discuss the truth behind the scenes of this case with you, but I have no right to make it public. Helen, I think you will understand me, right?"

Helen smiled slightly, stood up and shook hands with the editor-in-chief and said, "Of course I can understand you. Thank you, Mr. Editor. I will come to you again when I find enough evidence."

Behind Helen's relaxed smile were desolate and sad tears.

At this moment, she finally fully understood Cao Bin. The week before the snowstorm came, Cao Bin must be more sad than himself. He wanted to love, but he dared not love. The reason why he dared not love was not because of his cowardice in his heart, but because he had already expected this day to happen.

Helen never felt so isolated and helpless.

Jack was in danger and should have died in the battle in Chinatown. When Cao Bin decided to face life and death with her, he would disband all the brothers in the hall and tell them that before Nuoli returned, no one would step into the hall.

Nuoli, where are you? When will you come back?

At this moment, Luo Lie took Xiao Gu Ting to carry the train with a large bag of small bags.

The five bottles of wine I brought to Brother Biao were a big bag, and the volume and weight of the box of out-of-print cigars I brought to Brother Bian was even more impressive. In addition, the gifts from Zhao Daming and the journey between him and Xiao Gu Ting were fine and soft, but the sleeper car of the train was stuffed full.

From Dong Biao's inquiry telegram a day, Luo Lie determined that his hall must have encountered a happy event and had to wait for him to go back and share it. The reason for making such a judgment is very simple. If it was not a good thing, Brother Bin would not let him go back. Even if he had no choice, Brother Biao would not be so idle and would ask questions every day.

Luo Lie returned to the entrance of New York the night before yesterday. After reading the telegram, he thought to go back to the train station to buy tomorrow's train tickets, but was stopped by Zhao Daming. Zhao Daming had a very good reason. Since it was a happy event, there was not much difference between day to day and day to day to day to arrive. Tomorrow, he had to say hello to the head of the main hall and report on the completion of this task. Luo Lie felt it was reasonable, so he delayed the date of returning to Kingsoft for a day.

Zhao Daming originally wanted to arrange two brothers to escort Luo Lie back to Jinshan. One was to help Luo Lie carry luggage. Gu Ting was too small, and Luo Lie only had two hands. There was so much luggage that someone had to help him. The other was to take this opportunity to show Brother Bin Biao on Jinshan. So he bought four sleeper tickets for a soft sleeper car.

But Luo Lie refused, and his attitude was quite firm.

He didn't want to be too arrogant, nor did he want to distance himself from the brothers in the hall.

Zhao Daming thought about it and felt that Luo Lie’s considerations were reasonable. In any environment, it was always no harm to be low-key. Besides, in today’s society, as long as you have money in your pocket, you can overcome any difficulties. A person can’t take so much luggage. As long as you shake the US dollar bills in your hand, a large number of people will immediately come to show their respect.

Train trips were quite boring. At the beginning, Luo Lie and Xiao Gu Ting were still interested in going to the dining car to eat, but then they were too lazy to even go to the dining car. All three meals a day were solved in the soft sleeper car.

Xiao Gu Ting's odor is never changed. He never takes off his clothes when he goes to bed at night. Luo Lie asked him why many times, but Xiao Gu Ting always stammers and can't tell a legitimate reason. Everyone has unique personal habits or hobbies, such as if he doesn't like smoking, but he always likes to smell the fragrance of tobacco. For example, when Brother Biao takes off his socks and washes his feet, he always habitually smells the odor of socks. Also, if he wants to enter Brother Bin's study, he must knock on the door first, otherwise he will be angry, but if he doesn't knock on the door and enters his bedroom, there is no big problem.

Luo Lie also understood that Xiao Gu Ting's refusal to take off his clothes and sleep as a personal habit. After a long time, he was too lazy to care about him.

It was not Luo Lie's idea to bring Xiao Gu Ting back to Jinshan, but Xiao Gu Ting's request. Luo Lie really likes this weird little guy. He can't say anything about Xiao Gu Ting's request. He just asked whether he wanted to say hello to his father, but was rejected by Xiao Gu Ting. "He forced Xiao Ting'er to be Li Xilu's inner support. After Xiao Ting'er did it, he had already paid off his grace for raising him. From now on, Xiao Ting'er will have no relationship with him." Faced with Xiao Gu Ting's decisive response, Luo Lie could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

The journey of five days and five nights was really long. When the train finally arrived at Jinshan Railway Station, the five days and five nights seemed to be passing quickly again. After getting off the train, Luo Lie bribed the train station manager for one dollar, and the buddy personally helped Luo Lie call a taxi.

While loading salutes into the car, the taxi driver asked, "Where are you going to sir?"

Luo Lie replied casually: "Chinatown, Anliangtang."

The driver's face suddenly changed and he said, "A big deal happened to Anliangtang, don't you know?"

In the entrance of the hall, only Helen lives in a huge building.

She wanted to do something for Cao Bin, but she didn't know what she could do.

In the past five days, the only thing she could do was to clean Cao Bin's study and clean Cao Bin's bedroom. What she could do was sit in front of the window and watch the dead leaves in the courtyard at the entrance of the hall became thicker and thicker.

Eston learned from some sources that Helen had been removed from the Kingsoft Post, and turned a deaf ear to her request to visit Cao Bin. Helen had no choice but to ask for her former partner, but the partner agreed very happily, but Helen could see that he was just perfunctory.

Once people leave, the tea will be cold.

This is the universal law of this world. Whether it is acceptance or hatred, it is powerless to change it.

On the morning of the separation between Cao Bin, Cao Bin also told Helen that she must stay in the hall and wait for Luo Lie's return soon. Five days have passed, and it is the sixth day. Why haven't Luo Lie seen anyone yet?

Helen, who was quite dazed, felt a little tired and wanted to leave by the window, or lie on the bed for a while, or get some food in the kitchen downstairs. At this moment, she could vaguely hear the creaking sound of the large iron door in the hall being pushed open.

A taxi drove in, passed through the tree-lined avenue at the entrance of the hall, bypassed the pool, and stopped at the entrance of the corridor.

A young man who was both familiar and strange jumped out of the car.

Helen hurriedly opened the window and shouted: "Nuoli! Are you Nuoli?"

Luo Lie looked up at Helen, then replied: "Reporter Helen? Why are you here?"

Helen stubbornly persisted for five days and five nights, without letting herself shed a tear, but at this moment, Helen's vision blurred. "Nuoli, wait for me, I'll come down now."

He ran downstairs and met Luo Lie who was moving the ceremony into the corridor. Helen said nothing, spread her arms, hugged Luo Lie, leaned her head on Luo Lie's shoulder, and couldn't help crying loudly.

"Helen, be stronger and tell me what happened?" Luo Lie didn't know how to comfort Helen, so he could only pat Helen on the back with a stiff face and said, "When I came from the train station, the taxi driver had already told me a rough idea, but I need to know the details, Helen, wipe away her tears and tell me?"

Helen finally stopped crying and sobbed: "Tom was captured by Eston of the police station, and Jack was killed by them. Nori, you are the only one who can save Anliangtang."

Luo Lie was shocked and said, "Brother Biao is dead? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Helen shook her head, wiped her tears, and said, "I didn't see it, but Cooper sent more than a hundred soldiers to encircle Jack. I think they will not leave a way out for Jack."

Luo Lie forced himself to calm down and said, "Helen, we can't panic. Come on, tell me one by one in order."

Helen took a deep breath and told the story of what happened before and after the snowstorm.

Luo Lie had a expressionless face and carefully listened to every word Helen said. "Helen, you said just now that the police station held a press conference. So, have they released the number of casualties at the scene?"

Helen nodded and said, "They said they killed nineteen people and seriously injured seven people."

A hint of relief flashed on Luo Lie's face and said, "That means Brother Biao is not dead!"

Helen said in surprise: "How can you know? The police department has not released the list of casualties."

Luo Lie said: "Brother Biao has a habit of recognizing integers. Every time he works, he takes either five or ten. Nineteen plus seven equals twenty-six. This is not in line with Brother Biao's habit. When he dealt with the killer, he should have brought thirty brothers. In other words, five people, including Brother Biao, should have escaped from Cooper's encirclement."

Helen said in surprise: "Will there be Jack?"

Luo Lie nodded and said, "He must be there! If he is a fish, then Chinatown is a big river. Even if Cooper uses the densest net, it will be difficult to capture Lieutenant General Biao in Chinatown."

Helen's surprise suddenly disappeared, she shook her head and said suspiciously: "No, Noli, if Jack is still alive, why has it been five days and five nights passed, but there is no news about him?"

Luo Lie said: "He is very likely injured. At this moment, the cat is recovering from a secret place in Chinatown. Helen, don't worry, I will definitely find him within three days."

Helen was a little relieved, but then became nervous again and said, "What about Tom? What about Tom? How can we save Tom?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Helen, please forgive me, I forgot to congratulate you. Brother Bin is a good man. I am happy for you to love him."

Helen couldn't help but show a hint of happiness, and then was covered with a cloud of sorrow, saying worriedly: "Nori, I can see that Eston and Cooper must put Tom to death. If we cannot help him clear his crime, even if Eston does not torture Tom to death, he will be sentenced to hang by the court."
