Edward Snow sat in a conference room . Three people sat across him . The men on the left and the right were the editor-in-chief and the deputy editor of a news network, and in the middle was the CEO of the network .

The thing that Snow brought was so shocking that the editor-in-chief and the deputy editor could not make a decision, so they invited the CEO .

The CEO stared at the investigation report provided by Snow . He looked stunned .

"Mr . Snow, can you guarantee the authenticity of this report?" the CEO asked first .

"Of course, I almost died for this report . " Snow pointed to the sutured wound on his face .

The CEO took a deep breath and said, "Mr . Snow, the report you brought is really shocking . This may be the biggest scandal in the history of American sports . I hope to get the exclusive right to report this information . "

"No problem," Snow promised .

"But I really don't know how much we should pay for it . Shocking news is our business, but this kind of big news on sports . . . Well, it is our first time reporting something of this scale . Not to mention that we will have the Olympics this year . The value of this investigation is hard for me to estimate," the CEO said sincerely .

Snow smiled and said, "Actually what I care about is not the money . I hope that the public can know the truth . "

The CEO nodded solemnly . "I understand . I will use your report as the focus of our work . I will follow up on this myself . I will let the public know the truth!"

Investigative journalism wasn't a very profitable occupation . It could even be said that the income was meager . Most investigative journalists entered the industry because of their sense of justice .

The main source of income for many investigative journalists was from writing books . They would investigate a very important news topic, and when the news was trending, they would go on talk shows and write one or two books related to the investigation . To put it plainly, they took advantage of the heat of the news to make money .

　　 . . .

Los Angeles Police Department .

A short, pudgy man with gla.s.ses walked in front of Dai Li and said, "Mr . Li, the procedure for bail has already been completed . After you sign here, you can go . A special reminder, before the trial, you need to report to the Los Angeles Police Department once a week, and you are not allowed to leave the country during this period . "

"Thank you very much, Mr . Wilfrid . " Dai Li signed the doc.u.ment and then walked out of the police station with the lawyer .

Wilfrid said as he was walking, "The injured person you hit has already accepted our compensation . He said that he will not sue us again . But he also revealed to me that the prosecutor asked him to appear in court to testify . "

"So I can just wait for the court session . The only trouble is the prosecutor?" Dai Li asked .

Wilfrid nodded . "The prosecutor is Nick Reese . He is indeed very talented . He is the only prosecutor in California who has been able to maintain a 100% conviction rate . I've been up against him three times, so I guess we're tied?"

Dai Li did not understand what the lawyer meant . In his mind, if it was four fights, it was possible to get a tie with two wins and two losses, but three showdowns would result in two wins and one loss . It was inevitable that one party would have two wins, so there should be no possibility of a tie .

"Mr . Wilfrid, what do you mean by a tie?" Li Dai could not help but ask .

"My client, although pleading guilty, was not sentenced severely . In truth, all three parties were guilty . All I could do to help them was to reduce the penalty . In this respect, the prosecutor and I each achieved what we wanted . I helped my client reduce the penalty, and the prosecutor was able to convict them . " Wilfrid's tone changed and said, "But Mr . Li, you are different . I don't think you are guilty . You were trying to save yourself, and your intention was not to hurt people or a.s.sault the police . I think their charges of causing intentional injury and a.s.saulting the police are unfounded . I am sure I can help you win this lawsuit . "

"Thank you for your trust," Dai Li said quite sincerely .

"You are welcome . As your lawyer, my job is to help you win the lawsuit!" Wilfrid said .

The two talked as they walked to the police station entrance, and Blake was already waiting outside .

Wilfrid said goodbye to the two, and Dai Li got into Blake's car .

Blake started the car and said at the same time, "Wilfrid is the best criminal lawyer in the United States . We have a good chance of winning with him helping us . "

"This really is a disaster! I've encountered these sort of situations even though I was just living my life honestly at home . . . I am a victim, but I have to pay a lawyer's fee . This is really unfortunate . " Dai Li sighed helplessly .

"According to the police, the people who took you are repeat offenders and have committed several large cases of kidnapping and blackmailing . For you to escape from them was no small feat . In fact, I really admire your wit; you were able to figure out a way to contact the police even in that sort of situation . If it were me, I'm afraid I could only have sat there and waited for death to come . "

Blake turned to look at Dai Li and asked, "Do you need to hire one or two bodyguards? I had a friend when I was a boxer who opened a security company after he retired . A lot of his men are retired soldiers, including some who came back from the battlefield in Iraq . If you need to, I can ask him to find a few good bodyguards . "

"Forget it, I am not an important figure . I am just a coach . But I really hope that I can install a security system in my home . I don't want to be tied up at home again . " Dai Li was looking at his phone when he spoke, but he never managed to find what he was looking for .

So Dai Li asked, "Has there been any big news recently?"

"There is all sorts of news every day . What kind are you specifically asking for?" Blake asked .

"Things such as scandals," Dai Li replied .

"Haha, you're actually interested in these sort of things . It seems that your mood is not as bad as you said it was . " Blake became jolly, and he continued, "A p.o.r.nstar is saying that the president once married her . Does this count as a scandal?"

"I am not talking about things like that . I wanted to ask about things related to sports . Were there any sensational scandals recently?" Dai Li asked .

"There weren't any . Li, you couldn't have heard of any gossip, right?" Blake asked .

"I am waiting for a piece of news . " Dai Li nodded .

Just then, a phone number suddenly appeared on the car's central control screen .

"My car has Bluetooth . " Blake looked down at the screen . "It is Chris Payton . "

Blake pressed the b.u.t.ton to answer the call, and Payton's voice immediately came through the speakers .

"Blake, I just saw an incredible piece of news on the internet! This is probably the biggest doping scandal in the history of the United States!"

Blake smiled dismissively . "Is it really so amazing? Every year in the United States, there will always be dozens of cases where athletes are found to be using illegal drugs . Those are not unusual . "

"But this time it involves thousands of people, including many well-known athletes and coaches, and 27 biological laboratories were said to be providing illegal drugs to athletes . More importantly, the mastermind behind it all was Blecher, the father of prohormone from a few years ago!" Payton said .

When Blake heard the news, he could not help but look at Dai Li .

Dai Li let out a sigh of relief . "The big news I've been waiting for is finally here!"
