Chapter 198 Three People Shatter Their Journalism Dreams

As soon as the camera flashed red, Xiaolin immediately shoved the microphone in front of Dailulu.

Her agile movements were like those of a ghostly assassin. If Jing Ke had possessed her skills, there would have been no Qin Shi Huang.

"What is the relationship between the three of you?"

"Brothers and sisters, meow."

Kobayashi kept observing Delulu without stopping.

Insight is a fundamental quality of a professional journalist.

And I, a rising star in the journalism world, am bound to uncover some shocking scoop from this family.

Although the woman in front of me looks the same as the crazy woman in yesterday's video, her attire is completely different.

Yesterday I was wearing old-fashioned work clothes, but today I'm wearing a sophisticated little suit.

The suit is well-tailored and exceptionally flattering, especially the fabric, which is clearly not cheap.

The shirt was ironed very neatly.

Silver jewelry is simple yet elegant, and avoids being commonplace.

The leather shoes were polished to a gleaming shine.

Her makeup was as natural as a lotus emerging from clear water, giving her an unforgettable beauty even without any makeup.

It doesn't look like the attire of a lunatic at all; it's more like the style of a sophisticated and fashionable woman.

Yesterday she was a female factory worker, today she has become a sophisticated urban woman.

A conspiracy must be hidden behind such a huge contrast.

There's only one truth—this whole family is faking it!

The delivery rider's strange behavior is a publicity stunt.

The crazy woman who uses a recommendation letter to look for a job is just creating hype.

The goal is to generate buzz and traffic, and while the buzz is there, the whole family will immediately start live streaming to sell products.

Then, they'll market the good looks of the older siblings again, and achieve financial freedom within six months.

I've seen this kind of trick many times.

Let the righteous journalist Kobayashi expose all of this!

Xiaolin took out a video from her phone showing Dailulu harassing various companies.

"Are you the person in the video?"

Kobayashi stared intently at Delulu's face, observing every expression, not missing a single change in her features.

Based on experience, at this point, the other party will deny everything and try to distance themselves from the situation. Then, they will use the hype to market their good looks and successfully sell products.

If they deny failure, they'll go down the path of the villainous clown.

Kobayashi stared at Delulu's slightly parted lips.

"It's me, meow. I'm the mentally ill meow you've been talking about."

Admit it?
Xiaolin's brain briefly went blank, and the six questions she had prepared for the next step were immediately rendered useless.

How could they admit it?
Don't play by the rules!
Don't worry, Xiaolin. You're a professional reporter; this kind of impromptu response won't be a problem for you.

"Did you use that method to apply for a job because you lacked attention? Was your meowing habit also a way to attract attention?"

Leading questions can help lure the other person into your logical trap.

These are essential skills for professional journalists.

Dailu retorted irritably, "No, I thought job hunting was like that, meow. Laughing at me, reporting that I'm mentally ill—isn't that exactly what you unscrupulous media outlets love to do, meow!"

Xiaolin chuckled to herself: This person has broken down; I'm going to deliver the fatal blow.

"You keep emphasizing that you have a mental illness. Is it because of the public opinion on the internet that you are psychologically unbalanced? If you had known that the public opinion would turn out this way, would you still have done that thing?"

"None of your business, meow!"

Xiaolin said, looking aggrieved, "Why are you swearing at me?"

Seeing that things were not going well, Li Ji quickly came out to explain.

"Dear reporter, you may not know this, but my sister really is mentally ill. I have proof."

"certificate?"

Xiaolin's gaze froze instantly.

Li Ji had anticipated the impact of public opinion on Dai Lulu, and secretly printed out their disability certificates last night.

He pulled out a green disability certificate.

Opening it, I found a picture of Dailulu inside. [Name: Shalulu]

There is a string of numbers below.

"The last two digits of this number represent the type and level of disability, respectively. The first digit, 5, represents mental disability, and the second digit, 1, represents level one disability."

"This is a rather serious situation."

Everyone gathered around to look at the disability certificate.

Delulu yelled furiously, "You're the one with a mental illness, meow! I'm not sick, meow!"

She grabbed Li Ji and bit him on the shoulder.

Li Ji let out a painful scream: "Shark, quickly control him!"

Shark picked up the mineral water bottle on the table and splashed the water on Dailulu.

Dailulu let out a pitiful "meow" and loosened her grip on Li Ji's hand and mouth.

Taking advantage of the situation, Shark subdued her and pinned her to the ground.

The other three people in the room were still in shock, standing there dumbfounded.

Their pupils were dilated, as if they had just experienced a disaster and were still recovering.

Lee Ki rubbed his shoulder: "Sorry, everyone, please excuse this. Please don't broadcast this part."

"sure."

Kobayashi, who had been full of fighting spirit, suddenly became at a loss.

Her lips were stiff; she didn't know whether to open them or close them.

After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "What exactly is wrong with her?"

"She has a split personality, but it's not too bad for now. She only has two personalities: one is a pretty young girl, and the other is a factory worker from the 70s. That's why she was photographed behaving that way yesterday."

Dailu shouted from the ground, "You're talking nonsense! I've always been a pretty little girl, where did this other personality come from, meow?"

Li Ji forced a wry smile: "Mental illnesses are all like this, they won't admit it. If you don't believe me, you can ask Shark Baby. Shark Baby, do you think she has mental problems?"

He kept winking at Shark, signaling for the other party to cooperate.

Shark Bao watched the frequency of Li Ji's blinking eyes and thought: Is this some kind of code? I don't understand. I can only say it according to my own understanding.

"That's right, she has schizophrenia. One personality is gentle and kind, while the other personality loves to swear and smoke."

"You're not talking about me at all, meow!"

"See, you still won't admit it. This is the personality that loves to swear."

Xiaolin nodded awkwardly.

She cursed herself in her heart over and over again.

Damn me!

Why would I think they're trying to create hype?

What a pitiful family!
Three siblings, two disability certificates.

This handsome guy who can do parkour must have had a tough time.

"May I ask about your family situation? What is your main source of income?"

Lee Ki pursed his lips in a mocking manner, then immediately broke into a smile.

He knew that the highest level of expressing sorrow was not to exaggerate the suffering, but to tell it with a smile.

The contrast amplifies the impact.

"Because our parents have passed away, we have mainly relied on government subsidies, my scholarships, and part-time jobs to support ourselves over the years. Now that my younger brother can also work, the pressure will be a little less."

Seeing the smile on Li Ji's face, Xiao Lin's heart clenched completely.

This family's life was incredibly difficult.

"Wait a moment!""

Xiaolin suddenly noticed that the brooch on Dailulu's suit was from a luxury brand, costing 8000 yuan. How could someone from such a poor family afford such a luxury item?

It was just hype after all!

"I noticed that the brooch Ms. Lulu is wearing looks like a luxury item. Is your financial situation sufficient to support such a purchase?"

Li Ji was prepared. He chuckled and pretended to be nonchalant: "You mean that? That's because I got a full scholarship to MIT, so I didn't have to worry about living expenses for the next few years. I used the money I earned from summer jobs to buy them gifts."

MIT? Full scholarship?
