Binhai, Golden Tripod Building!
An Kexin sat by the dining table, sipping on white porridge while browsing online articles on her tablet.
"Ignoring Life, Persona Collapse?"
"A Kind Hearted Healer, A PR Fabrication?"
"Without Compassion for the Underprivileged, No Need for High dical Skills!"
"Only Treats the Rich, All About Money!"
Watching An Kexin seething with anger, An Weize couldn't help but advise, "You said you'd let it be, so why are you still watching? Aren't you bringing this anger upon yourself?"
"Just focus on having breakfast."
An Kexin slamd the tablet onto the table, fuming, "Dad, letting it be doesn't an ignoring it."
"These people are infuriating, zeroing in on Lin Jie not getting off the car to save the injured person, attacking wildly, denying everything he has done before."
Zhai Siying sighed lightly, "Many people nowadays are out of their minds."
"A good person does ninety-nine good deeds and makes one mistake and is deed unforgivable. Whereas soone who did ninety-nine bad deeds does one good thing and is imdiately revered."
An Kexin earnestly corrected, "Aunt Zhai, in this particular case, A-jie did nothing wrong."
"He already judged that the person was beyond saving, which is why he didn't get out of the car."
Zhai Siying quickly explained, "Kexin, I didn't say Lin Jie did anything wrong, just expressing a casual thought."
This ti, An Weize took over the conversation and said, "Ay Ying, Kexin, do you know why good people are harshly criticized for doing wrong, while bad people are praised for doing good?"
"Why?" Zhai Siying echoed.
An Weize chuckled, "It's because, criticizing good people doesn't bring harm, as everyone knows they are good. But for the bad person who did a good act, people are afraid to not praise them, fearing they might beco the target of their malevolence."
"To put it bluntly, it's the inherent tendency to bully the soft-hearted and fear the tough, as well as a jealousy wishing for good people's downfall."
An Kexin chuckled softly, "Dad, you're just making things up now, aren't you?"
She picked up the tablet again, held back, then put it down again, huffed, "Earlier I thought A-jie's idea of a blacklist was naive, an impulsive act."
"Now I actually think having such a blacklist is necessary."
"Not only did several semi-famous dia outlets jump in, fanning the flas, but so dical professionals also pompously expressed opinions, subtly criticizing A-jie."
"Have these people's judgnt and conscience been eaten by dogs?"
An Kexin said with a fierce tone, "I will have the company's tech staff record these people's words and actions one by one."
An Weize advised, "It's not worth getting angry over these people. They either act out of interest or jealousy. A-jie's recent spotlight has been too dazzling."
"Our ancestors long noticed this; the tallest tree in the forest is the first to fall."
At this mont, a series of quick footsteps approached, and soon Lin Miao and An Keng burst into the dining room.
An Kexin stood up surprised and asked, "Oh, why are you two here? And looking all sweaty?"
"Haven't had breakfast? Co, sit down and have so!" Zhai Siying warmly said.
Lin Miao, breathing heavily and sobbing, said, "Kexin sister, brother is in trouble."
An Kexin comforted, "Oh, Miaomiao, don't worry."
"No need to pay attention to those online remarks. A-jie and I anticipated this long ago..."
"Sister, we're not talking about that..."
Finally catching her breath, An Keng shouted, "Brother Jie is in trouble in Germany, in Heidelberg... in Heidelberg..."
"Quick, turn on the TV and watch the news..."
"According to the latest information received by our station, an organization aiming to make the Middle East great again has issued a statent claiming responsibility for the incident in Heidelberg."
"In revenge for the killing of a Middle Eastern refugee by far-right German thugs on the twentieth of last month."
"According to the German Cable News, the famous tourist city of Heidelberg experienced several explosions and fires one after another late at night local ti."
"Currently, the extent of casualties is unknown."
"From the real-ti news footage broadcasted by the German Cable News, one can see roaring flas across multiple locations in Heidelberg, illuminating half the night sky."
"Moreover, sporadic explosions and gunshots can still be heard..."
Seeing this, Lin Miao, with red eyes, said, "Kexin sister, my brother's phone can't be reached at all, no response on WeChat or anything, I'm scared, I'm scared..."
"Don't be scared, don't be scared!"
An Kexin, though her heart was burning with anxiety, had to maintain her composure, comforting, "Miaomiao, no need to worry, A-jie is not alone, he is with Dean Cheng, Dr. Jiang and several others."
"I'll try to get in touch with them now."
An Kexin picked up her phone and first dialed Lin Jie's number, only to find it temporarily unreachable.
She then dialed Cheng Xingguang's number, but it was unreachable.
Called Jiang Hao's number next, still unreachable.
Finally, called Lei Jun's number and still couldn't get through...
The group mbers of the communication team dialed one phone number after another, but none could be reached. An Kexin's face changed, and the hand holding her phone began to tremble.
An Weize placed a hand on An Kexin's shoulder and said gravely, "Kexin, don't panic. In situations like this, no news is good news. The possibility of all of them encountering an accident at the sa ti is extrely low."
"It's very likely that the local communications and network have encountered an accident or been sabotaged."
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
An Kexin took a deep breath, looked at the pale face of Lin Miao, and continued to comfort her, "Miaomiao, don't worry. With such a big fire, the city's information base stations must have been damaged."
"Let's just wait patiently, I expect we'll soon receive a call from Lin Jie letting us know he's safe."
This statent was more of An Kexin comforting herself than Lin Miao.
At that mont, her phone suddenly vibrated.
Looking down, she saw it was a call from Ling ngjiao, and though disappointed, An Kexin answered the call.
"President An, I just saw the news online, saying that sothing happened in Heidelberg, Germany..."
An Kexin steadied her emotions and said, "I already know about it; I've received a ssage from Lin Jie that he's safe. Tell everyone else not to worry."
"Also, I won't be going to the company today, please let them know for ..."
After hanging up, An Kexin said to Lin Miao and An Keng who were looking at her, "With the situation unclear, there's no need to make them worry unnecessarily."
"I have always firmly believed that Lin Jie has a fate of turning misfortune into fortune, and he'll certainly be alright."
"Yes, big brother will be fine, he definitely will be."
Lin Miao wiped her eyes forcefully and said with determination, "That ti, I was completely in despair, but unexpectedly, a heart ca falling from the sky and saved my brother."
"My brother always has good luck, and this ti will be no different."
Watching as Lin Miao, An Kexin, and An Keng embraced each other, An Weize sighed lightly, stood up, and said, "I'll go reach out to so people and see if they have any friends in Germany."
"They might know more about the situation..."
At this mont, Lin Miao's phone rang unexpectedly.
The caller ID showed it was a landline number from the Capital City.
She answered the call, putting it on speakerphone, "Hello, this is Lin Miao. Who's calling?"
"Hello Lin Miao! This is ng Yang from the Capital City. I called to tell you so information about Lin Jie."
"How is my brother? Is he alright?" Lin Miao asked anxiously.
An Kexin and An Keng couldn't help but lean their heads closer to the phone to hear more clearly.
"Lin Miao, since all communications in Heidelberg are down, I don't have any latest updates on Lin Jie."
"However, you don't need to worry."
"Our country's consulate in Frankfurt, Germany, has assembled a search team and are heading to Heidelberg."
"Frankfurt is only about an hour and a half drive from Heidelberg."
"The team set off nearly an hour ago, and since Heidelberg is not a large city, I estimate that within one or two hours, we should have definite news about Lin Jie."
"Thank you, thank you! Please inform as soon as you have any news about my brother..."
Lin Miao hung up and took a deep breath, saying, "There was a reason we couldn't reach my brother; it turns out that all communications in Heidelberg were down."
She added angrily, "From now on, I'm not letting my brother travel far anymore."
"Everywhere he goes, sothing happens. It's just unbelievable."
An Kexin also lanted Lin Jie's disaster-attracting curse but still defended him, saying, "Miaomiao, you can't bla this on Lin Jie. It was the work of an international terrorist organization and has nothing to do with Lin Jie."
Lin Miao shook her head and said, "There are so many cities in Germany, why didn't they choose another city? Why did they choose Heidelberg? And at the exact ti my brother went there?"
"This is sohow related to my brother."
An Kexin was speechless and didn't know how to refute Lin Miao.
Ti ticked by, half an hour passed, then an hour.
The previously sowhat calm Lin Miao, An Kexin, and others started to beco anxious, frequently picking up Lin Miao's phone to check, fearing they might miss any information.
Even the usually calm An Weize beca a bit uneasy, walking back and forth in the living room with his crutch.
"Keng!"
"Dad, what's up?"
"Try calling Miaomiao's phone and see if it might be because of an unpaid bill or so malfunction that's preventing connection."
An Keng acknowledged, unlocking the screen of his own phone.
A familiar gentle lody began to play instantly.
Seeing the caller ID, Lin Miao questioned in confusion, "ngng, have you changed your number? Why is there a strange number showing as the caller ID?"
"I haven't even dialed your number yet..."
"Ah, it must be brother..."
Exclaiming in surprise, Lin Miao imdiately answered the phone, and a voice she knew so well ca through, "Miaomiao, it's . I'm using a satellite phone..."
