Volume 1: Entertainment Circle Chapter 52: Situation Spiraling Out of Control
Tong's body stiffened, feeling a bit uncomfortable. She turned her head to look out the car window. Tan Jieyan didn't want to talk about it, and Tong naturally wouldn't ask. But being excluded still made Tong feel a bit suffocated in her chest.
This afternoon, Tong Jing accompanied Tan Jieyan on a drive to the military district that lasted over an hour. Tong Jing's mood was indescribably delightful, but suddenly Tan Jieyan reverted to his cold and distant self, and such a contrast made Tong Jing's heart skip a beat, with an inexpressible feeling of loss.
Tong Jing couldn't help but glance over, Tan Jieyan's originally cold and stern face was now even more tense, his phoenix eyes intently staring at the road conditions outside the windshield, his entire body exuding a chilly and frosty aura. Tong Jing withdrew her gaze, she thought that to Tan Jieyan, she was at least considered a friend, but unexpectedly, he still didn't want to say anything to her, a bitter feeling filled her chest.
The speed of the car is very fast, when Tan Jieyan came, even in the suburbs, it was only 80-90 yards per hour, but now, the speed has soared to nearly 200 yards.
Tan Jieyan put on his Bluetooth headset as soon as he got in the car, and when Yu Jing called again, he listened to the report about the scene. Tan Jieyan's hand gripping the steering wheel tightened a few times, and a cold, sarcastic smile appeared on his thin lips. He was indeed ruthless and dirty! Using the Spring Festival travel rush as an excuse!
"Ji Yan, drive carefully, I'll take care of the situation at the train station!" Yu Jing's voice was a bit loud, the scene was chaotic, and the sound waves were echoing. After briefly reporting to Tan Jiyan, Yu Jing had to hang up the phone and immediately controlled the chaotic situation in front of her with a large group of people around her.
"Xiao Tong, help me dial a number." Tan Jieyan turned his head to look at Tong Qiang in the passenger seat. The car was going so fast that if he were alone in the car, Tan Jieyan might have used one hand to hold the steering wheel and the other to dial the phone. But with Tong Qiang present, he subconsciously thought it was dangerous, so he asked Tong Qiang for help.
"Hmm." Tong Jiang turned his head back in surprise, took a look at Tan Jieyan, and was somewhat taken aback that he would actually ask for help. However, his eyes lit up as he picked up the phone beside him and quickly dialed the number Tan Jieyan had given him.
"Xiao Cheng, I'm Tan Jiyuan. Have you been paying attention to all the videos and posts about the West Railway Station fire circulating online? Delete any radical comments immediately. Yes, delete them directly using your hacker identity. Be strict and don't let anyone exaggerate this incident and cause unnecessary panic."
Tan Jieyan only found out after receiving a call from Yu Jing that in the afternoon, Beijing West Railway Station's online ticketing system had crashed, causing many university students who originally didn't have to queue and wanted to buy tickets online to gather at the train station because they couldn't get tickets back home, and the situation escalated further.
But university students were rational, although many people were angry, yet there were conflicts between railway department staff and university representatives, with verbal abuse and physical clashes, like a fuse, causing the situation to rapidly deteriorate.
Some people with ulterior motives further fueled the situation, and many migrant workers who failed to buy tickets also became emotionally agitated, some crying and others collapsing to the ground. The Jingli Railway Station has dispatched additional police forces, on one hand ensuring passengers board the train, while on the other controlling the deteriorating situation.
