Real Rich Daughter's Path Of Counterattack

Chapter 87: Touched to Tears

After walking for less than ten minutes, he still did not notice anything amiss.

Just as they were about to return, they heard a child’s voice.

The little reporter, Xiao Xia, brought the photographer nearer. She saw four children sitting on the ground which was covered in leaves. All of them were covered in mud and their faces were dirty.

The little girl at the front who was in her beautiful clothes was very dirty. Her face was also black and full of mud, but her big eyes were very clear and bright. She only had one shoe left on her foot and her socks were also dirty. She was holding a wild strawberry in her hand and was about to eat it.

Xiao Xia aimed the camera at the little girl and recorded this scene. He smiled and asked the little girl, “What are you doing here?”

Xie Chaochao stared at the camera curiously. “I am waiting for my father!”

“Where’s your father?”

Xie Chaochao held the strawberries up for her to see. “My father went to the coal mine. I picked the strawberries and I was waiting for him to come up to eat!”

She even handed Xiao Xia a strawberry. “Try it. It’s delicious!”

Xiao Xia smiled and took it, putting it into his mouth.

Suddenly, his smile froze and tears immediately flowed down his face.

When the photographer saw this, he was shocked. “You… You don’t have to be this touched, right? You’re crying!”

Xiao Xia opened his mouth, wanting to spit the strawberry out. However, when he noticed Xie Chaochao’s eyes, he was afraid that she would be sad, so he resisted the urge and swallowed it.

He frowned and squinted his eyes. He pushed the camera that was aimed at him away. “I… I’m crying because of how sour it is. These strawberries are too sour…”

…

At the entrance of the coal mine, after the county head came over, Reporter Liu brought people to interview him.

“County Head, now that something like this has happened in Shanbai Village, and there are still more than twenty people who are currently not known to be dead or alive, what are you planning to do next?”

“The rescue team hasn’t arrived yet. Time is of essence. Are you going to just wait and do nothing?”

“County Head, how are you going to answer to the miners who are trapped underground?”

“…”

The county head, Wang Zhongshan, was annoyed by his questions, but due to his position, he had to deal with them.

“As the county head, I am responsible for what had happened in my jurisdiction. I will do my best to rescue the miners trapped underground…”

At this moment, someone shouted, “The security team is here, the security team is here!”

Security team? They should be able to go down and rescue them, right?

The county head and Reporter Liu looked for the source of the sound.

Then, their expressions changed.

Wang Zhongshan’s face turned pale. Could these be the families of the trapped workers? Were they here to seek an explanation?

Reporter Liu was giggling. Since the family members were here to cause trouble, he had to capture this scene. He would guide them later and assure them that Shanbai Coal Mine would be closed down by the higher-ups.

However, all he saw was a group of people walking over. They were all old man and women. There were also disabled people.

All of them held small stools in their hands as they walked unstably toward the coal mine.

The county head was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. He hurriedly went forward. “Elders, it’s very dangerous here. You should go back first. When we have good news, we’ll definitely get someone to inform you…”

He wanted to assure them first. If these old people started making a fuss, the situation would definitely become even more difficult to control.

Fatty’s grandma walked in the front row and said, “We’re not going back. We’ll wait here!”

Reporter Liu laughed in his heart. Make a fuss, make a fuss. The bigger the fuss, the better!

He had already gotten the photographer ready. Once these family members started making a fuss, they would begin broadcasting it live. By then, more people would see this farce on television. The situation would be even more advantageous for them.
