"My friend was also taken away for investigation because he helped introduce and recruit people. We still don't know what's going on."
Guo Xinya sighed.
“Even yesterday, the police called me to ask about the situation and asked me to hand over the remaining medicine I had so that they could collect it.”
Xiao He subtly reminded her, "That means this matter isn't so simple. Sister Xinya, you should stay away from your friend and avoid getting involved."
"I...I understand." Guo Xinya wasn't stupid. From the police's attitude, she vaguely sensed something, but she still felt a little melancholy. "She's also in the industry. She finally managed to get a role a while ago, but I didn't expect...sigh."
Xiao He didn't have many feelings about it, but Guo Xinya's words reminded him of something—
After finishing work and returning to the hotel, Xiao He asked Liu Rulan about the situation of "Silent Search".
"Silent Search" is the drama that Xiao He had painstakingly prepared for and auditioned with the renowned director Feng Zhengyang.
Xiao He still vividly remembers the scene in the film crew where everyone was a villain.
He simply couldn't imagine what kind of monstrous production crew could gather so many "red-name monsters," a veritable paradise for criminal police officers to advance their careers, the kind where you could level up just by eating a bite—it was utterly outrageous.
When Xiao He discovered that the film crew was being monitored, he stopped paying attention to it. But now that so much time has passed, he is curious about the current situation of the film crew and whether any of the crew members have been caught.
When Liu Rulan heard Xiao He mention the name of the production crew, she recalled for a moment before saying, "Oh, it seems that filming wrapped up last month, and it's currently in the post-production stage."
"I heard that Chen Cong, the big boss of Kemingen, also invested in this movie. Now that this problem has arisen, has their production team been affected?" Xiao He asked tentatively.
"It seems that it has indeed been affected to some extent, but after all, it has reached the later stages. Even if Chen Cong withdraws, other capital will take over." Liu Rulan shrugged. "After all, Feng Zhengyang's reputation is still there. Even if Chen Cong is gone, other capital will come one after another to invest. It seems that a few investors came from Hong Kong recently. The production team is still running well."
Moreover, this matter only affected the investors and did not directly target the "Silent Search" production team, so to outsiders who were unaware of the situation, it still seemed like a good opportunity.
Xiao He's lips twitched.
This feels like...fishing.
Using the "Silent Search" production team as a "good pie" to continue fishing for bigger fish... cough cough, he couldn't just guess what the higher-ups were thinking.
However, Xiao He did not forget to continue investigating this Feng Zhengyang.
The matter between Feng Zhengyang and his wife... is still unresolved!
Fortunately, with his more advanced hacking skills, Xiao He was able to investigate many things at will—although he still hadn't found any clues related to Feng Zhengyang, he did discover something else—
He obtained a three-minute recording.
"He said he wanted three more bottles. Isn't that a bit too much? His agent is starting to have doubts."
"This is not our responsibility; we are only in charge of sales."
"Is this definitely impossible to find out?"
"We are a legitimate pharmaceutical factory, and all the drugs we sell can be tested by drug administration. Under normal circumstances, there is no possibility of any problems."
"But he lost weight too quickly!"
“Overuse of medication can indeed cause these symptoms, but that’s his own problem and has nothing to do with us. Perhaps you could try to persuade him.”
"How could I dare to advise him? He reacts very strongly even to the slightest interruption; I'm afraid he'll die!"
"That's not our problem."
"Tsk, you use me and then discard me? That's not very nice."
"It's up to you. You can turn yourself in for selling these kinds of drugs. You can take a look at the criminal law first."
"I didn't sell it! I'm not helping you—"
"But we didn't ask for the money. We considered everything before as your payment. Don't you know that?"
"you--"
"Alright, this matter is almost over. Here are the last three bottles of medicine. Let him find his own sales channels. If possible, try to get his agent involved; we really like the resources and connections she has..."
"...Okay, I understand."
When Xiao He first heard the recording, he thought it was just a simple drug transaction.
Xiao He felt that one of the voices sounded somewhat familiar, and with the addition of the word "agent," he immediately realized that the person who bought the medicine must also be someone in the industry.
The reason he felt the voice was familiar was probably because he had met this person on the phone somewhere before, or even heard his voice before... Where was it again?
Xiao He closed his eyes and began to recall the events carefully in his mind.
The source of this recording is also very interesting. It was a recording that was secretly saved and uploaded to the cloud by the assistant of Dong Zeng, the producer of "Silent Search".
Apart from that, his assistant did not save any other content.
Clearly, this recording must have been special to this assistant.
—Or rather, this recording is special to others as well.
As for the reason...
reason......
Xiao He suddenly opened his eyes again.
Tong Junhui!
That voice sounds like Tian Heng!
That is, Liu Rulan's mortal enemy and agent!
Back then, Tong Junhui lost a lot of weight and never recovered, so he withdrew from the entertainment industry. As a result, Liu Rulan took over Su Shengxi's management and became his agent.
Looking back now, Tong Junhui's dramatic weight loss was indeed very abnormal!
Without medication, how could he have lost weight so quickly? In fact, it eventually spiraled out of control, and he was unable to regain his normal physique...
Xiao He could almost guess what happened back then: Tong Junhui was on a diet when someone recommended a diet pill that was supposedly very effective. He tried it a few times with some skepticism, and the effect was rapid and immediate, greatly reducing the pressure and pain of his normal diet. So he started taking the pill in large quantities, which allowed him to lose weight successfully before filming.
However, due to his dependence on this weight-loss drug, Tong Junhui gradually became addicted and developed a serious drug addiction... He may not have even realized that he had been tricked before all the crises broke out.
—In fact, whether in previous years or in recent years, many people do not have a great concept of drug addiction, and are even less vigilant than they are about drugs. But in reality, it takes advantage of this low level of vigilance to quietly come into our lives, and there is a serious phenomenon of it affecting younger and younger people.
Many teenagers today even see it as a trend, calling this behavior "OD," which stands for "overdose." They form their own small circles, exchanging and sharing "experiences," actively pursuing and leading to other terrible and dangerous behaviors.
Little do they know that this behavior is practically the same as drug use—both are extremely dangerous, highly undesirable, and severely detrimental to physical and mental health! Many addicts, unable to access relevant resources, resort to drugs as a substitute, and many gradually descend from drug addiction to drug use. In other words, it's ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) almost indistinguishable from that substance.
Neither of these places should be entered!
