Su Xinghui also picked up the teacup, blew the foam on the tea, and took a sip of tea.

Jiang Zhaoyang let out a long sigh and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Su Xinghui said, "You should know who Wang Hongcheng is, and you should also know who Tian Xiaopeng is, right?"

Jiang Zhaoyang nodded and said, "Of course I know."

Su Xinghui said, "Wang Hongcheng scams wherever he goes, and his appetite is getting bigger and bigger. He cooperates with Tian Xiaopeng, how much money do you think he can scam?"

Jiang Zhaoyang said, "I estimate it will be at least over ten million."

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, that's what I think too. He scams so much money, can Tian Xiaopeng come up with it?"

Jiang Zhaoyang said, "I estimate he will go to the bank for a loan. He used to use bank loans as capital when doing business."

Su Xinghui said, "If this money is swindled away, will Tian Xiaopeng pay it back?"

Jiang Zhaoyang laughed, "Alright, Xinghui, I think I understand what you mean. You want me to expose Wang Hongcheng's scam so he can't scam Tian Xiaopeng, right?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Zhaoyang said, "You have a good relationship with Tian Xiaopeng?"

Su Xinghui smiled faintly and said, "If I had a good relationship with him, wouldn't I just tell him directly?"

"'Then what conflict do you have with him'?"

"'This has nothing to do with conflict or the relationship between him and me. I can tell you that I have indeed had conflicts with Tian Xiaopeng, but even if it wasn't Tian Xiaopeng who was scammed this time, I would still stop it. Because after he is scammed, it is impossible for him to pay back the loan, so the ones suffering the losses will be the country and the common people of Hudong!'"

Looking at Su Xinghui, who was somewhat impassioned, Jiang Zhaoyang had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Then what does that have to do with me?"

Su Xinghui said, "You are a reporter, you are the conscience of this society, you have the responsibility to stop him!"

"'The conscience of society'?" Jiang Zhaoyang said, "Hahahaha, I consider myself the conscience of society, do others see it that way?"

After a while, Jiang Zhaoyang stopped laughing, "Do you know? A few years ago when I was about the same age as you, I had similar thoughts, full of enthusiasm. I also considered myself the conscience of society. I pointed out the country, waved my arms, was proud of my talent, and looked down on everyone."

"'At that time, I published several influential reports in the Hudong Daily in a row and became a famous reporter in Jiangcheng. However, I also offended many people. I don't know how many people regarded me as a thorn in their side. Later, when the Jiangcheng City Daily was established, the newspaper office said I was a famous reporter and the new newspaper needed backbone like me, so they transferred me to the new newspaper.'"

"'But who doesn't know? This is just that they don't like me and want to kick me away. Every day at the Jiangcheng City Daily, I just report on some trivial matters. Although I still hold the title of a famous reporter in Jiangcheng, I know that I am nothing now. Since I am like this, you still want me to expose Wang Hongcheng's scam, and you still want me to offend Tian Xiaopeng?'"

Su Xinghui was a bit frustrated. Could it be that Jiang Zhaoyang's edges had been worn away? But he immediately remembered the light in Jiang Zhaoyang's eyes when he asked who was cooperating with Wang Hongcheng just now. He felt that Jiang Zhaoyang still had edges, but the blows he had suffered made him have some resentment, and some complaints were normal.

Thinking of this, Su Xinghui was determined. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea without speaking again.

Su Xinghui's attitude made Jiang Zhaoyang a bit puzzled. Why didn't he speak?

Jiang Zhaoyang also took a sip of tea. Only then did he realize that the tea in the cup had been drunk by him. He was just about to pick up the teapot to add water, but Su Xinghui picked up the teapot and added water for him.

Jiang Zhaoyang took a sip of tea and couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you speak?"

Su Xinghui said calmly, "Since Senior Jiang has said so, is there any need for me to speak? I'm just a bit disappointed. Senior Jiang was once my idol, but he has also been worn away by this society!"

Jiang Zhaoyang laughed, "I won't be provoked by you."

Su Xinghui said, "Alright, then let's not talk about this. Let's drink some wine tonight. I think Senior Jiang can only drink wine now."

Jiang Zhaoyang nodded and took another sip of tea, but after a few minutes, he couldn't help but ask again, "If you don't find me, who else are you planning to find?"

Su Xinghui laughed secretly in his heart, but he let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it, forget it. Even Senior Jiang doesn't dare to do this, who else can I find? Let it be, it doesn't matter to me anyway!"

Jiang Zhaoyang stared and said, "Who said I don't dare? I just think this matter is not worth it!"

Su Xinghui didn't speak, just shook his head.

Jiang Zhaoyang slapped the table and said, "Su Xinghui, I tell you, don't provoke me. If you don't find me, I'm going to manage this matter!"

Su Xinghui said, "Forget it, Senior Jiang, let's not manage this matter. I just thought about it, this matter is too important, we can't manage it!"

"'What can't be managed'?" Jiang Zhaoyang said, "'At worst, I'll be a small reporter here for the rest of my life, and there will be no future. Can they still fire me?'"

Su Xinghui was shocked and said, "That won't do, I can't delay your future for a lifetime!"
