With Lin Yi’s suggestion, the two of them suddenly felt enlightened.

The proposal seemed really good.

"Come on, share your thoughts."

Feng Chengrong pulled up a chair and sat opposite Lin Yi, while Zhou Li sat next to him.

"I think this is a very positive thing, and it can resonate with many people, ensuring good viewership," Lin Yi said.

"Moreover, many people with children are over 30, and they happen to be the main audience for TV, so from a programming perspective, this is a very good topic."

"The topic is indeed good, but there is a problem," Zhou Li said seriously.

"What if we can’t find the child in the end?"

"That is indeed a problem. This kind of thing is different from others and has its special nature," Feng Chengrong said, lighting a cigarette and thinking:

"In cases like the pharmaceutical factory and pickles factory, our goal is exposure, and as long as it is exposed, it’s considered a success. But finding a child is different. We need to be involved in the outcome. If we film several episodes and the viewers’ expectations are raised, but we don’t find the child in the end, it will affect our reputation."

"We can start filming but not broadcast it for now. Just release a missing person announcement and air it once there’s a result."

Feng Chengrong listened attentively, "Now, the two of you, what do you have on your plates?"

"I’m still selecting material, so I don’t have any filming tasks at the moment."

"What about you?" Feng Chengrong asked, looking at Lin Yi.

"I have a military interview, but the specific day is not set, I’m waiting for notification too."

"Hmm?"

The two of them looked at Lin Yi in surprise, "You even got a military interview?"

Lin Yi chuckled, "It’s all basic operations, stay calm."

"You really seem a bit omnipotent," Feng Chengrong said with a smile.

"If both of you can manage your time, let’s follow this matter."

"OK." Zhou Li made a hand gesture as a response.

Feng Chengrong left, and Zhou Li looked at Lin Yi.

"What are your plans next?"

"I’ll go to the station, you can head home, and I’ll call you when there’s new news."

Zhou Li looked and said, "There’s no recording to be done even if we go now, how about we focus on the promotion for today, maybe we’ll get lucky and find them tomorrow."

"That works, we can take Brother Jun to check it out tomorrow."

"Then it’s settled."

After discussing tomorrow’s plan, the two of them left for home.

Early the next morning, the three of them gathered at the office, prepared the equipment, and headed to the Spring City Second Bridge Police Station.

Seeing the three of them carrying a camera entering, the police officers immediately got up.

"Journalists, is there something you need?"

"We heard there’s a missing person case. The child’s mother is named Li Xiaoping, and her child disappeared four days ago after school, named Sun Dandan, at Chunxi Second Primary School."

"We’ve been investigating this case and will definitely find a result in the shortest time."

Because the camera was facing him, the officer’s response was somewhat official.

Lin Yi turned around and gestured to Ma Jun, who understood and turned off the camera.

"Officer, we’re not filming now, so there’s no need for us to be so reserved," Zhou Li said:

"The child has been missing for four days; is the chance of finding them not high? Is there a potential danger to their life?"

"This situation is very complicated, and anything could happen," the officer sighed:

"But the likelihood of life danger is indeed low, otherwise, it loses the meaning of abduction."

"As long as there’s no danger to life, I feel relieved, and we can take our time to find them."

"Don’t be too optimistic, it’s not necessarily a good thing," the officer said:

"Think about where those disabled beggars on the street come from?"

This statement made Zhou Li and Ma Jun’s faces turn pale.

If such a thing truly happened, the child would be pitiful.

"You don’t have to be too tense, it’s just one possibility of many. In the current situation, the best outcome is that the child is sold to a mountain area, ensuring at least they remain unharmed."

"Indeed, that’s the best outcome at the moment."

"What we discuss here is private, please don’t broadcast it, but if you need more interviews, I can cooperate."

"We’d like to review the footage from that day. Could you arrange that for us?" Lin Yi said.

"Hmm? Check the surveillance?" the officer said in surprise.

"We’re planning to follow up on this case, so we want to gather more information."

Lin Yi added after speaking:

"But rest assured, if there’s no result, the episode won’t be aired, and it won’t be a burden on you."

Lin Yi’s words gave the officer peace of mind.

If this matter is reported, but there’s no outcome, it would leave viewers with the impression that the police aren’t effective, impacting their credibility.

"I can’t decide this, maybe you should ask the chief?"

"Sure, where’s the chief’s office?"

"Room 309 on the third floor."

"Thank you, we appreciate it."

After a brief exchange, the three headed upstairs and found Chief Liu Jianwei.

"Hello, we’re journalists from the TV station. We want to interview about Sun Dandan’s disappearance and discuss this case with you."

After the greetings, Lin Yi briefly explained his purpose.

"Please, come and sit."

Seeing Ma Jun holding a camera, Liu Jianwei didn’t maintain a very official demeanor and appeared very friendly.

"We’ve been investigating this case consistently. I submitted the reports yesterday and even requested two experts to help us find the missing child as soon as possible."

"Given the current status of the case, is it convenient for us to conduct follow-up filming?"

"Filming is not a problem, but such situations are a bit special, it might be better to wait a bit; it’s best not to film now."

Lin Yi smiled, understanding why Liu Jianwei said that.

"Chief, how about this: we film first but don’t air it until the child is found, and if we can’t find them, no matter how much we film, it won’t be aired."

"If that’s the case, it’s worth trying."

For Liu Jianwei, having the TV station filming is a good thing; if the child is found, it would be a credit to him.

"Thank you, Chief."

"When do you plan to start filming?"

"We’d like to start now."

"Alright, I’ll make a call."

Liu Jianwei took out his phone and said, "Little Zhao, could you come up here?"

Soon, a young man with a buzz cut came up; it was the officer who had received Lin Yi downstairs earlier.

"They want to investigate Sun Dandan’s disappearance. Lead them to Little Ma and cooperate with the journalists to handle this well."

"Understood, Chief."
