Xiao He wasn't keen on going, but Xiao Chen was eager to try: "Brother Xiao, let's go take a look too!"
Just then, Lao Qi walked over.
"Brother Qi, do you know what's going on over there?"
Xiao Chen immediately asked out of curiosity.
"I don't know." Old Qi shook his head. "But that's not our crew. It seems to be another unfamiliar crew."
Xiao He was relieved.
That's good, as long as it has nothing to do with them.
Just now, Xiao He almost thought that something had happened to "Cangyue Jie" again.
"Then we definitely have to go see it!"
Xiao Chen said excitedly.
Before Xiao He could make a decision, the group of people who had gone upstairs to watch rushed back, and most of them squeezed into the hotel rooms on Xiao He's side of the corridor.
Yuan Sitong, who had run back, glanced at Xiao He and his group, whose door was still open, and noticed that Xiao He's room was also on the outer side. She immediately squeezed over excitedly: "Let me see your room! Excuse me, let me take a look!"
Xiao He: ?
What happened?
Before Yuan Sitong could explain, she led Xiao He and his group into Xiao He's room.
The hotel rooms aren't particularly luxurious; they're just basic hotel suites with a bedroom, ensuite bathroom, and a slightly larger living room with a table, four chairs, and a sofa in the corner.
Naturally, such hotel rooms do not have large balconies.
However, in addition to this large floor-to-ceiling window, there is also a movable window next to it, which, when opened, allows you to see the exterior wall of the building above.
Yuan Sitong rushed in too quickly, seizing the initiative and immediately leaning out of the window to look up. Then she gasped, looking as if her eyes had been burned by the sight, and covered her face, letting out a sigh: "Damn, this is so exciting at night!"
Xiao He: ?
Wait, wait a minute, what's the juicy gossip?
Xiao He also became curious, so he quickly walked a few steps to the window.
Fortunately, the movable window was quite wide. When Xiao He peeked out, he discovered that not only were people from several neighboring rooms looking up, but people from several rooms on the floors below were also looking up at them.
Even more extreme, while peeking out, they also took the time to open their phones and record their "wonderful life".
What the hell?!
Xiao He's lips twitched, and he turned around to look upstairs—
A man wearing a loose bathrobe was seen timidly hanging outside the hotel window, his legs helplessly braced against the slightly protruding edge of the building, his hands seemingly handcuffed and caught in the window handle. He was half-hanging helplessly in the night wind.
A gentle night breeze blew, causing his yukata to flutter lightly, while the onlookers below let out a soft "whoosh."
Directly above the man in the yukata, several uniformed police officers reached out and grabbed one of his arms, trying to drag him into the room.
However, the position he was hanging in was rather awkward. Most of his body was facing outwards, and his hands were handcuffed behind his back. If the police wanted to pull ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ him up, he would have to lift one leg and kick it against the window edge behind him to make it easier for him to lift his whole body up. But his wide and unrestrained movements were quite an eyesore, making onlookers cover their eyes while peeking through their fingers and swiping their phones.
Xiao He: ...a passerby, an old man, a cell phone.
What is this thing doing?
How did he manage to get himself into such a position?
Xiao He found it amazing.
The fact that this guy could get himself killed like this is quite a feat.
Who is this?
Xiao He asked in confusion.
Their location wasn't very good; they only saw people walking their birds and didn't actually see the people's faces.
"The director of the film crew next door."
Yuan Sitong answered.
"Um?"
Xiao He's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Why would he go to such lengths?"
It was late at night, and he was hanging himself outside the hotel dressed like this. Xiao He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
"It's said that he was playing a game with an actress from his film crew, but he couldn't find the key to his handcuffs. Then the police came to check, so in a panic he tried to hide outside, but in the end—"
Yuan Sitong's eyes were filled with sympathy and pity. She raised her chin and said, "That's how it ended. She ended up hanging outside and had to call the police for help."
Police officer: ...We are helpless too.
Xiao He: I'm speechless.
"I never expected this director to have this kind of quirk! He's usually very concerned about his image in the industry, but I never imagined he'd lose all face this time."
Yuan Sitong smiled slyly, her tone full of excitement at the prospect of a good show.
Forgive Xiao He, it was the first time he had ever heard a girl make such an evil "hehehe" laugh.
Xiao He rubbed his arms and pulled the person back from his window.
"Alright, it's time for you to go back. Things are chaotic here, and you don't want to be photographed by paparazzi or sasaeng fans. You're just sitting here watching the show with that unadorned expression, aren't you?"
Yuan Sitong: ...Wow, precision strike.
Yuan Sitong immediately dared not stay any longer. She covered her face, said goodbye to Xiao He, and hurriedly went back.
Xiao He finally had some peace and quiet.
But the next moment, two more heads appeared on his sides.
Xiao He: ...
No, it's one thing for Xiao Chen to squeeze in and watch the show, but why is Lao Qi doing the same?
Xiao He turned around and looked at Lao Qi behind him, his eyes full of doubt.
Old Qi looked up at the situation upstairs, noticed Xiao He's gaze, and gave Xiao He a somewhat naive smile.
There's no way around it; watching strangers have fun is truly an interesting thing.
Xiao He ignored them and the three of them continued to look up at the situation above.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Finally, the man in the yukata mustered his strength, opened his hips, and hooked his thigh upwards. One police officer quickly grabbed his leg, while several other officers grabbed his collar. Before the man's buttocks were exposed, they pulled him into the hotel room.
Immediately, the surrounding noise subsided considerably, and the guests who had been watching the show gradually turned their heads away.
Upon seeing the result, Xiao He and his group turned their heads away.
"I really didn't expect this, today's incident has caused quite a stir—"
Xiao Chen shook his head with emotion.
Xiao He, however, was already considering the issue from a different perspective: "This hotel seems to be having a run of bad luck lately, encountering so many problems in a row. Has it really not been affected by any bad luck?"
The first time they were caught for gathering in a crowd, and although they didn't catch anyone clearly violating the rules the second time, this unknown director still gave the police a heart-pounding experience.
The mere act of being handcuffed and hung by the window is enough to make everyone laugh for years, becoming one of the hotel's most enduring anecdotes.
Most importantly, Xiao He calculated that since he joined the film crew of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" and stayed at this hotel, two related incidents have already occurred.
That's bad. Today's inspection doesn't count; they'll probably come for another surprise inspection another day.
Old Qi suddenly said, "This director is called Sun Gong. He is a longtime friend of the producer who was arrested in the 'Cangyue Jie' crew. He was seen having some conflict with Producer Luo some time ago."
"Um?"
Xiao He's wandering thoughts were pulled back by Lao Qi, and he looked at Lao Qi with some surprise.
Old Qi explained, "Teacher Xiao asked me to chat with the security guards I knew on set, so I learned a lot of gossip."
Xiao He pondered: "So, this Sun Gong was friends with the previous producer. Luo Zesheng took over the producer's position, and Sun Gong was unhappy with Luo Zesheng and wanted to stand up for his friend, which resulted in a conflict between the two sides?"
Coincidentally, Sun Gong is the one who's having bad luck today?
