Chapter 1557 Self-salvation
When Meyers found that the doorstep was full of reporters, he was not in the situation at all.
Many reporters drove directly to Meyes' residence after leaving the press conference of the Espanyol Club. Most of these reporters had partners, so one person was responsible for driving while the other person wrote articles on their laptops. In short, they were racing against time and didn't want to delay any time.
Meyers didn't notice the abnormality at first, because after the news was exposed, many reporters were wandering around his house. He kept locked himself at home without showing any face, and wanted to wait until the limelight came over before talking.
He didn't expect that from around 10 a.m., there were more and more reporters at the doorstep, and the sounds from outside kept coming in, which made him feel upset.
Although the reporters only gathered outside his yard due to legal restrictions, they were all placed on the long guns and short cannons, all aimed at his house.
Meyers was a middle-class man in the early years and bought the small single house where he lives now, and there were many assets. However, due to business failures in the past few years, his family was basically sold out, leaving only this property, his wife divorced him, left him with his children, and left him alone in this pretty good small building.
In recent years, Meyers has not been looking for a job seriously. He basically lives by selling some of the savings left by the sale of assets and the government's unemployment relief. His only hobby is football. He is a die-hard fan of Barcelona.
He was also a backbone of Barcelona's hardcore fan organization. Every game day he would bring a large group of fans to cheer for Barcelona. When he had enough hands, he would also go out to cheer for Barcelona on the road.
But all of this has changed since yesterday.
He shot that video with Pablo a few days ago for 500 euros, and now he regretted it. But isn’t he just going to cheer for Barcelona in the next away game?
In the past two years, he has basically no extra expenses. He has no priorities in eating. He can even fill his bread with the last week. However, as long as he supports Barcelona, he will not feel distressed at all when spending money.
However, after the accident, his annual ticket was cancelled by Barcelona, and the fan organization quickly cut him off and fired him out. He used to be a team he loved deeply, and when negative news appeared, he abandoned him without any hesitation.
So, Meyers' mood has been really bad these two days, just as if his faith has collapsed.
Now more and more reporters gathered at the door were even more upset Meyers. Even though he had closed the doors and windows and closed the curtains, the sound of the reporters' speech continued to reach his ears, as if countless bees were buzzing in his ears.
Meyers was extremely upset.
He couldn't help it anymore, so he opened the window, poked his head and shouted, "You are harassing my normal life! Get out of here immediately! Otherwise I will call the police!"
The reporters are in this industry. How could they be scared by Meyers's harsh words? They can grasp the boundaries of the law very accurately and know how to achieve results, but it is not illegal.
So, Meyers leaned his head and shouted, not only not scaring the reporters, but several reporters took the opportunity to ask questions loudly.
"Mr. Meyers, we came to you to verify it after watching your latest video. Is that recording still there?"
"Mr. Meyers, the Daily Sports and Pablo shirking the blame and putting the blame on you, don't you want to say a few words?"
Meyes was stunned when he heard this.
He asked subconsciously: "What are you talking about? What video? What recording?"
A reporter shouted loudly: "Mr. Meyers, since you have chosen to use the method of shooting videos to explain the truth to the outside world, why should you escape? It's better to treat the media in all respects!"
"What are you talking about?" Meyers felt that he was about to collapse.
When the reporters saw Meyers' condition, they also felt a little strange. A reporter shouted: "You took the video yourself! You said that the previous interview was not because you were intentionally lying, but because Pablo spent money to bribe you and asked you to follow his script. You also said that you saved the recording yourself, and the media welcomed to collect evidence! We are here to collect evidence!"
Meyers was as if he was struck by lightning when he heard this. He stood in a daze at the window, as if all the noises from the reporters outside the yard had disappeared, and his mind was blank at this moment.
It took a long time for Meyers to recover from his senses. He hid in the room, closed the windows tightly, and pulled the curtains tightly.
Meyers leaned against the wall and said to himself, "Isn't that...isn't that a dream? I...I really met God? And... God also took a video? What the hell is going on?"
Meyers had a very realistic dream last night.
In the dream, a person who emitted holy light came to him and used gentle words to calm his heart down quickly. Under the guidance of this person who could not see clearly, he followed his inner thoughts and said the words that excited the reporters.
When Meyers woke up in the morning, he had a little impression of this dream, but he did not take it to heart, thinking that it was just a day and night dream.
This is something he really has been thinking about these two days.
And when he saw the statement issued by the Daily Sports News put all the blame on himself, he was indeed very angry.
At the same time, as he said at the end of the video, Pablo actually found him twice. The first time the two had basically reached an agreement. The second time Pablo looked for him was to discuss specific conditions and explain the script to him. During this meeting, he had already taken a scruple and secretly recorded all the conversations during the meeting with a recording pen.
But in fact, Meyers is very conflicted. On the one hand, he is extremely angry at the Daily Sports newspaper's behavior of trashing the blame. After all, no one wants to be the scapegoat. But on the other hand, he cannot convince himself to stand up because he stands up and tells the truth, which can indeed make Daily Sports and Pablo more passive, but it does not help him at all. Once he says it, his mistakes will become even more serious. Not only do he lie, but he also collects money.
Therefore, although Meyers sometimes said to himself ruthlessly that he wanted to tell the truth, this was only limited to when he competed with him. In fact, after weighing the pros and cons, he naturally felt that not talking was better than talking.
It is precisely because of this that when Meyers woke up in the morning, he vaguely remembered the content of the dream, and felt that it was because he had been struggling with this matter yesterday that he had such a dream.
In fact, all this was naturally led by Xia Rufei.
With his current mental cultivation, it is not too easy to hypnotize an ordinary person like Meyers. Moreover, the words Meyers said are completely from the heart, and it is easier to realize during the hypnosis process. Just a little guidance is required.
If you want the hypnotized object to say something against your will, it will be much more difficult, especially for some people with stronger willpower, who may also develop a rebellious mentality and wake up from the hypnotic state.
After Xia Rufei recorded the video he needed, he deliberately did not completely erase Meyers' memory, so Meyers would vaguely remember it after getting up, but the memory was blurry, so he naturally felt that he was just having a dream.
The words of those reporters outside just now made Meyers feel like he was struck by lightning. He was stunned for a while, then rushed to the study, pulled the instant noodles bucket on the computer desk to the ground, found the mouse on the messy desktop, and quickly opened some local mainstream news websites.
At this time, most of the reporters had completed the manuscript and received the video sent by the Espanyol Club press officer to their mailbox.
So, Meyers soon saw this video on the official website of World Sports.
He watched the entire video in a daze, and it took him a while before he accepted this reality - he didn't seem to be dreaming last night, but he didn't know why he said this and was recorded, and then quickly appeared on the front page of the media.
Could it be that the man who emitted holy light was sent by God to save me last night? Meyers couldn't help but have such thoughts.
Although he is a rare atheist, his belief seems to have begun to loosen a little at this moment...
After Meyers recovered, he pondered at the computer desk for a long time.
Finally, he made up his mind and found an old U disk from the drawer, inserted it into the computer in a hurry, and then copied a piece of audio file he saved on the e disk.
Meyers pulled out the U disk and then strode towards the door...
His idea at this time was very simple - since everything has been exposed, why are you still hiding it? Will you continue to take the blame for the Daily Sports News? Go to the Day Daily Sports News! Go to the Day Pablo!
However, Meyers was in a worse mood at the moment, and he had no intention of dealing with the reporters. He opened the door and walked out with great strides. Before the reporters could react, he threw the U disk out and said loudly: "The recording information you want is on the U disk. Whoever gets this exclusive news will be given!"
After saying that, Meyers walked into the room without looking back.
The reporters didn't react for a while when they saw Meyers throwing something out. After Meyers finished speaking, a reporter who subconsciously caught the U disk was immediately ecstatic. He held the U disk tightly and walked quickly to the parking space in the distance. He thought in his heart: Now that he is developed, this is real scoop!
Other reporters came to their senses and chased after them, shouting loudly.
"The colleague in front, please wait!"
"Everyone is sharing resources!"
"You can't eat alone! This news belongs to all of us!"
...
After Meyers returned to the house, he thought about it and opened the door. He originally wanted to warn the reporters and told them that he would never accept any interviews. If they gathered at his door, they would really call the police. But when he opened the door, he saw that the reporters at the door had almost been exposed, and all the reporters were chasing the lucky one in front who had got the U disk.
Meyers was stunned for a moment when he saw this, then shrugged and returned to the house - since the reporters were all gone, he was happy and relaxed.
Meyers walked over and opened the refrigerator, took out the only beer left inside, opened the pull ring with a click, and then poured the whole beer into his stomach.
He burped, sat down at the computer desk in the study, eating potato chips while browsing the news.
He wanted to see how badly the Daily Sports News would be criticized by public opinion after the follow-up report came out - he was already miserable enough anyway, and the worst situation has happened now, and he has nothing to lose. In this case, he naturally hopes that the Daily Sports News will be as unlucky as possible.
As for Pablo, after seeing his statement video, Meyers knew that this guy's career had ended and no longer would be hired by the media in the future. So Meyers no longer cared about Pablo's issues.
...
The reporters did not get the U disk after all. After all, this is a society ruled by law. They can’t force the robbery of what they have already obtained, right? Even if they chase after it, it’s useless. They can only watch the reporter and his companions drive away in a hurry.
The reporters also knew that Meyers would definitely not accept the interview. Even if Meyers had a copy of the audio, they did not go back and try any effort - because a reporter had already obtained this audio, and perhaps they might not have to let Meyers give another copy after they went back. The reporter who got the audio only took fifteen minutes to be the first to release the exclusive news.
So, the reporters were asking each other to know which media the lucky guy was from - they were ready. Although they couldn't get the scoop, they could also reprint it as soon as possible after the lucky guy posted the manuscript!
...
With the continuous emergence of manuscripts about the press conference of Espanyol Club, Daily Sports can be said to be in a state of turmoil, especially soon after, some media announced Pablo and Meyes' discussion on the price and audio of the script, which was so real that it could not be more real. Daily Sports has no room for refutation.
Wells, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Sports Daily, also faced great pressure internally and was severely scolded by his superiors. Some directors of the same level also took advantage of the situation. After all, there are many people who are eyeing the position of the editor-in-chief, and Wells' status is also shaky for a moment.
The Daily Sports News is also holding an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with this sudden public opinion crisis.
