"But I really don't know how much we should pay for this. Although we have reported many big news that shocked the world, this is the first time we have reported such big news in sports. And the Olympics will be held this year. , the value of this survey makes me feel that it is inestimable." The CEO said sincerely.
Snow smiled slightly and said, "Actually, what I care about is not money. I hope the public can know the truth."
The CEO nodded solemnly: "I understand. I will make this investigation report the focus of our next work. I will also personally follow up on this report. I will let the public know the truth of the matter! "

Los Angeles Police Department.
A short, fat man with eyes walked up to Dai Li and said, "Mr. Li, the bail procedures have been completed. You sign here and we can leave. I would like to remind you in particular, You are required to report to the Los Angeles Police Department once a week before trial, and you are not allowed to leave the country during this period."
"Thank you very much, Lawyer Wilfrid." Li Dai signed a written document and then walked out of the police station with the lawyer.
Lawyer Wilfrid said as he walked: "The injured person you hit has promised us compensation, and he said he will not sue us again. However, he also revealed to me that the prosecutor asked him to appear in court. testify."
"So I can just wait for the trial, and the only trouble is the prosecutor?" Li Dai asked.
Wilfrid nodded: "The prosecutor this time is Nick Reese. He is indeed a very powerful guy. He is the only prosecutor in California who maintains a 100% conviction rate. I have been with him before. After three fights, we have reached a tie, right?"
Dai Li didn't understand what the lawyer meant. In his mind, if there are four matches, two wins and two losses can be considered a tie, but three matches is a best-of-three situation. One side must win two, and there should be no tie. possibility.
"Lawyer Wilfrid, what are you talking about with flat fingers?" Dai Li couldn't help but ask.
"Although my clients pleaded guilty, they were not given a heavy sentence. In fact, my three clients were indeed guilty. All I can do is help them reduce their sentences. In this regard, the prosecutor and I each have our own advantages. As needed, I helped my client reduce the sentence, and the prosecutor also convicted them." Wilfrid changed his voice and continued: "But Mr. Li, you are different. I don't think you are guilty. You were It was entirely to save yourself, and your original intention was not to hurt or assault the police. I think it is untenable for them to accuse you of intentionally hurting or assaulting the police. I am confident that I can help you win this lawsuit."
"Thank you for your trust." Dai Li said sincerely.
"You're welcome. As your lawyer, my duty is to help you win the case!" Wilfrid said.
The two walked to the door of the police station while talking, and Blake was already waiting outside.
Wilfrid said goodbye to the two of them, and Dai Li got into Blake's car.
Blair started the car and said at the same time: "Wilfried is the best criminal lawyer in the United States. With his help, we have a high chance of winning."
"What a sudden disaster! Even if I stay at home, I would still encounter this kind of thing. I am the victim, and I have to pay a lawyer's fees. It's really unlucky." Dai Li sighed helplessly. tone.
"According to the police, that group of people are habitual criminals and have committed several major kidnapping and extortion cases. It's not easy for you to escape from them. In fact, I really admire your wit. In that situation, you actually You can still think of that method to call the police, but if it were me, I would probably have to wait there to die."
Blake turned to look at Dai Li, and then asked: "Do you need to find one or two bodyguards? I have another old friend when I was a boxer. After he retired, he opened a security company. He has many people under him. Retired soldiers, including some who returned from the battlefield in Iraq. If you need it, I can ask him to find you some bodyguards who can reach out."
"Forget it, I'm not a big shot, I'm just a coach. But I really hope to install a security system in my home. I don't want to be kidnapped at home again." Dai Li said while As he spoke, he looked at his phone, but he still couldn't find what he wanted to see.
So Dai Li asked: "Has there been any big news in recent days?"
"A lot of news happens every day, what are you referring to?" Blake asked.
"Things like scandals," Dai Li replied.
"Haha, you are actually interested in this kind of thing. It seems that your mood is not as bad as you said." Blake became amused, and he continued: "A porn star said that the president once prostituted her , is this considered a scandal?”
"I'm not talking about this. I want to ask about sports, are there any sensational scandals recently?" Dai Li asked.
"That's not true. Lee, you won't hear any gossip, right?" Blake asked.
"I'm waiting for news." Dai Li nodded.
At this moment, a phone number suddenly appeared on the car's central control screen.
"My car Bluetooth." Blake lowered his head and glanced at the screen: "It's Chris Payton calling."
Blake pressed the answer button, and Payton's voice immediately sounded in the car.
"Mr. Blake, I just saw a sensational piece of news online! This may be the biggest doping scandal in the history of the United States!"
Blake smiled dismissively: "Is it such an exaggeration? Every year, dozens of cases of athletes using banned drugs are reported across the United States. This kind of thing is not uncommon."
"But this time, thousands of people were involved, including many well-known athletes and coaches. In addition, 27 biological laboratories were pointed out to provide illegal drugs to athletes. More importantly, the mastermind behind this time is exactly Bu Laiqie, the father of prohormones back then!" Payton said.
When Blake heard the news, he couldn't help but look at Dai Li.
Dai Li let out a sigh of relief: "The big news I wanted is finally here!"
