Forty minutes later, Xiao He escorted the police officers out of the film set.
"Alright, that's enough for now, you don't need to see me off."
Officer Zhang waved to Xiao He, "We'll take these comrades back."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Xiao He expressed his gratitude profusely, and then looked at Officer Li with a smile, saying, "By the way, I haven't congratulated Officer Li on his promotion yet."
Officer Zhang and Officer Li were indeed the first two police officers Xiao He met. He ran into Officer Zhang several times afterward, but he didn't see Officer Li for a long time.
However, looking at him now, Officer Li has become much stronger, and the light in his {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} eyes is still firm, with a touch of composure that comes with maturity.
He smiled and said to Xiao He, "Thank you, and congratulations to you too."
When they first met, he was a newcomer to the police station, and Xiao He was a newcomer to the entertainment industry. Now, they are both different from what they were back then—they have both grown over the years and will continue to work hard and move forward in this field.
Xiao He waved goodbye and watched the group leave the film set by car.
Only after the police left did the crew of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" dare to approach.
Deng Lei was extremely anxious. He had already heard that the police had taken Wang Shaoqi away from the hotel this morning. Now, the film crew next door had to stop work because of a mass gathering, which caused a huge uproar online. And now the police had come to their film crew and even went directly to their male lead. Deng Lei couldn't help but think things through.
Fortunately, the police arrived and left quickly, and their protagonist, "The Wind Chaser," was unharmed.
"What's going on? Does the police want to see you about something?"
Deng Lei walked up to Xiao He and asked him directly, his face turning several shades paler for some reason.
"fine."
Xiao He glanced around and noticed that there were staff members everywhere, seemingly scattered but actually gathering around without leaving a trace. They were all listening intently to what was going on, looking like they were ready to hear some big news. Xiao He found it both funny and helpless.
He decided to make it clear in front of everyone to prevent malicious people from spreading rumors online about the police coming to him: "The police came to me because of the Qin Lezhang incident."
Xiao He cleared his throat, making his voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the nearest people to hear.
“My phone was hacked, and I reported it to the police. Now the police have caught the culprit, so they want to talk to me to find out more.”
What Xiao He didn't mention was that after Old Master Qin was arrested, the old man was still unwilling to give up and mentioned his suspicions to the police, insisting that Xiao He was the one with the problem.
Of course, it wasn't just Xiao He; he also named more than a dozen suspects in one breath, none of them repeating the same one. They all suspected that these people were the ones who used hacking techniques to steal the Qin family's criminal evidence and were behind the scenes!
So the people who came with Officer Zhang were actually cyber police from Shanghai, who came to conduct a surprise inspection of Xiao He's communications and electronic products.
However, it is obvious that Xiao He is completely innocent and has no problems whatsoever. Moreover, it is clear to anyone with eyes that Qin Mubai's accusations against Xiao He are entirely based on personal grudges and personal conjecture.
You can't say that just because Xiao He is a computer science student, he is a hacker and can move around on the internet without being detected by the police, right?
Haha, that's impossible!
If he were truly that kind of talent, he would have been recruited by the authorities during his university years. Why would he need to wait to enter the entertainment industry?
Moreover, the police have already conducted a thorough investigation. While it is true that several companies used online trolls and "botnets" to fuel the scandal involving Qin Lezhang and Xingchen Pictures, these were clearly people the Qin family had offended. Furthermore, none of the Qin family's related electronic products showed any signs of hacking as claimed by the old man Qin.
It can only be said that the old man and his grandson are the same; they can always blame others for everything.
If you can bite off one at this point, that counts as one.
Tao Zidong, the young master of the Tao family who personally uncovered the evidence of the Qin family's crimes and reported it, was also investigated. However, he was prepared, and when the police came to investigate, he simply handed over a private investigator who had been kept silent and took full responsibility for everything.
In any case, those pieces of evidence were indeed secretly copied from Qin Song's computer by a private investigator at great risk. However, the private investigator himself was unaware that the reason he was able to find the hidden evidence on Qin Song's computer so quickly and copy it out so swiftly was because he had the help of a "mastermind" behind the scenes.
But none of that matters now.
The private investigator was delighted with the money, his mind filled with dreams of a wonderful future. Tao Zidong, on the other hand, wasn't afraid of being investigated. It was Qin Mubai who had hacked into Xiao He's phone, and after a police investigation, the evidence was conclusive.
His rambling accusations only compounded his crimes, which is truly ironic.
-
Back to the present, when Xiao He talked about the time his phone was hacked, gasps came from the others around him.
"So I guessed right last time, it was that bastard Qin Lezhang!"
An excited voice came from the side.
Xiao He: ...
Xiao He turned his head with a dark expression, just in time to see Yuan Sitong standing not far away, her eyes shining, looking at Xiao He excitedly, as if she were looking at some delicious gossip.
Xiao He really didn't know what to say.
If he remembers correctly, this person isn't supposed to have any scenes today, right?
"But how did you know when the hacker broke into your phone? How did you determine it? Does this intrusion mean they could access your photo album, your notes, or even your chat history?"
As she spoke, Yuan Sitong gasped, "If a hacker were to dig up your private information and post it online, wouldn't you be finished? You'd be dead!"
"I discovered the hacker before he could do anything, so you don't need to worry about it."
Xiao He explained with a smile.
He didn't want this incident to create a potential public relations crisis, with scam messages like "Xiao Hesimi's chat logs, DM me to see them" or "Xiao Ge's private photos, DM me if you want to see them" circulating all over the internet.
That would truly be a case of running yourself ragged trying to debunk rumors!
"Alright, everyone, you can all go home now. It's nothing serious."
At this moment, Liu Rulan walked in from outside the set, her gaze sweeping coldly over everyone. "Xiao He is the victim this time, so let's not talk about some things to avoid affecting the crew."
"Ah, right." Deng Lei nodded repeatedly, glanced at Yuan Sitong, and gently reminded her, "Let's not talk about this anymore. There's too much public opinion online right now, so our crew shouldn't get involved."
Although Xiao He was the victim, this controversy was clearly a hot potato and not suitable for the production team to use for publicity. Therefore, Deng Lei naturally wanted the production team to keep a low profile to avoid getting caught in the media storm.
Fortunately, Yuan Sitong's agent, Tang Wenjuan, also arrived. Seeing Yuan Sitong grabbing Xiao He and asking him about other people's private matters, she immediately walked over with a headache, smiled apologetically at Xiao He and the others, and pulled them aside.
"Sister, my dear sister, my precious lady," Tang Wenjuan sighed, "If only you channeled your passion into acting, with your looks, how could you not become famous?"
"But my passion isn't in acting anymore; I'm still popular just because of my looks."
Yuan Sitong touched her pretty face with affection and said matter-of-factly.
Tang Wenjuan choked.
"Have you forgotten what we said before? You came to this film crew to learn and perform seriously! This is a crucial opportunity for you to transform your career. If you succeed, you'll be a powerful actor in the future!"
Tang Wenjuan said with exasperation, "Look at Xiao He, how serious and hardworking he is! His body is covered in marks from filming, and what about you!"
They even dragged the injured person aside to gossip!
Heavens above, Liu Rulan is so lucky, who can give her an artist like Xiao He?
