Suming thought of a sneaky trick at first.
If there was an online streaming platform in Yangchuan City, why not simply live stream the rescue operation? It was certain to cause a sensation.
However, upon further thought, if the rescue were successful, then live streaming would be no problem. But what if it failed?
In the end, if there was a shootout between the kidnappers and the police, the kidnappers fled, and the hostage got brutally killed—blood and gore splattering across the screen... Then the live stream would be a huge problem, and it would be like outright smearing the reputation of Xiangjiang Police. Someone might even sue him for violating human rights and portrait rights.
So, he decided on a compromise—record it first. Afterwards, depending on the outcome, broadcast it. If the end result were joyful for all parties, of course no one would oppose this opportunity for publicity. Otherwise, forget it.
