Yuan Yunfei is a test engineer at an electronics chip factory in Songjiang City. His company produces a sensor chip for spacecraft. Due to a recent surge in orders, all employees are working in three shifts. As usual, he looked tired after finishing get off work. After approaching the subway, he found a seat, put on his headphones, and took out his phone to open the "YouLe APP".

A notification flashed in the notification bar, informing him that "Old Cai Talks News," which he had followed, had been updated, so Yuan Yunfei clicked on it.

As someone who is seen as middle class and a professional by others, Yuan Yunfei actually doesn't like traditional news programs. He prefers variety shows to these headache-inducing current events.

However, whether it was out of the need for daily workplace communication or out of fear of being left behind by this rapidly evolving era, he subconsciously felt that he needed to pay attention to the development of current events.

A chance click led him to the program "Old Cai Talks the News." The videos used a colloquial and humorous style to comment on major current events, a style that immediately captivated him. Before he knew it, he had been following the program for two years, becoming a loyal fan.

"Huh? A special program?" Yuan Yunfei was taken aback. Old Cai said that news rarely produced special programs unless it was a particularly important event. He remembered that the last time there was a special program was when the space jump engine experiment was successful, and the one before that was half a year ago.

Upon seeing that it was a special program, Yuan Yunfei immediately became interested, and the video title was quite sensational: Divine Punishment?! Shocking Inside Story Revealed About the Jiangling Haiyun Building Terrorist Attack!

I casually clicked on the video, and after the familiar opening logo, a rather comical chubby man with a folding fan appeared in the video. This was Lao Cai, the host of the show.

"Old Cai Talks the News, revealing the truth behind news events..."

Contrary to his usual jovial demeanor, Old Cai appeared rather serious today. He snapped his folding fan shut, bowed slightly to the audience, and then began, "My dear followers, today I have a big scoop to drop. Because this incident is quite unusual, to be honest, even I couldn't believe it at first. However, after repeated verification, I can confirm that this unbelievable thing... is actually true!"

"So, what exactly is it?"

"This brings us to... the early morning of January 16, 2016 (the thirty-sixth year of Chenghe), which is two days ago. As many of you who follow the news should know, a major event occurred in Jiangling. A horrific terrorist attack took place at the Haiyun Building in the west of Jiangling City. According to previous official reports, the incident resulted in the deaths of eight staff members inside the building, and six casualties among the military and police rescue personnel (the true number of casualties was somewhat concealed and suppressed). Even the Haiyun Building itself was severely damaged, and the specific property losses are still being assessed..."

"However, is this really the case?"

“Just yesterday, we obtained video footage from an eyewitness at the scene.”
