The speed at which news spreads is always faster than the speed at which the police can find someone.
Even before Wang Yi caused a scene at the front desk, news of a minor extra's disappearance at the hotel had already spread throughout the various film crew groups in the vicinity.
Although it was just a minor role, the fact that a grown man simply disappeared makes people feel quite sad when discussing it.
By the time those messages traveled back in a roundabout way, they had evolved into a completely different story—
A frustrated extra suffers from a serious mental illness due to the pressures of real life, yet he persists in pursuing his dreams.
However, to this day, he was once again kicked out of the film crew for no reason. The shattering of his dream once again made him unable to accept this reality, so he finally chose to leave and ended his life in a deserted corner.
—Without a doubt, the villainous crew in this version of the story is once again the same as in "Cang Yue Jie".
It was the production team of "Cang Yue Jie" that kicked him out of the crew, driving him to suicide.
By the time the creative team behind "Cang Yue Jie" learned about this, the story had already evolved into "the body of that minor character has been recovered, and 'Cang Yue Jie' has resulted in a death."
Although everyone knows that this news was mostly done by someone who dislikes them, or an actor's rival, things have escalated to this point, leaving people speechless and unable to express their grievances.
Although there are clear issues with the timeline, and the disappearance of the "minor character" has nothing to do with the "Cang Yue Jie" production team, there are still some incompetent teammates who insist on kicking the person out before things are clear!
The speed at which they try to distance themselves can't keep up with the speed at which others try to pin the blame on them!
When Liu Rulan learned about this, her face darkened, and she promptly contacted the director of "Cangyue Jie".
"This producer Luo is causing one problem after another. I think Director Lu, you should make plans early and not get dragged into this innocently, don't you think?"
Lu Weicheng's expression was bitter, and his voice carried a hint of weariness: "I understand."
The production of "Cang Yue Jie" has been plagued with problems, and he has recently been losing clumps of hair. At this rate, he should be bald by the time he finishes filming this project.
But what can be done?
While he tolerates and turns a blind eye to certain people and behaviors in the crew, the cause and effect of these things will eventually return in another way.
Therefore, all Lu Weicheng could do was try his best to make amends...
After speaking with Director Lu, Liu Rulan called Xiao He again.
But for some reason, the kid hung up automatically.
However, the next moment Liu Rulan immediately received an automatically sent text message.
【Xiao He: Do not disturb me if you have something to do; make your own decisions if it is urgent.】
Liu Rulan curled her lips.
"That brat is getting more and more thorough."
Last time Xiao He abruptly hung up the phone, Liu Rulan was so frightened that she immediately asked Lao Qi to check the situation. So later, Xiao He also learned to be smarter. When it was inconvenient for him to answer the phone, he would set up an automatic reply to tell Liu Rulan not to worry, and at the same time, to keep Liu Rulan calm and not to ask anyone to bother him.
Therefore, Liu Rulan stopped sending people to bother Xiao He.
But this time...
"Could this kid be involved in what happened at the hotel?"
Liu Rulan looked at this reply with great concern.
"Things are getting tense lately, so he absolutely mustn't use his... there are no secrets that stay hidden forever."
The state apparatus is exceptionally astute and remarkably patient.
If he's really being targeted, no matter how capable Xiao He is, he won't be able to escape...
However, Liu Rulan's concerns could not be shared with Xiao He at this time.
-
At this moment, Xiao He was hiding in the hotel's emergency exit, quietly observing the situation.
A cleaner wearing a mask is standing in the cleaning room, simply tidying up her tools.
Just a few minutes ago, Lao Qi reported what he had discovered to Xiao He via mobile phone.
“That cleaning lady °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° was acting strangely. I was just about to follow her when she immediately and subtly blocked my way. In order not to let her notice anything unusual, I had to come back first.”
It's really strange to see someone pushing a cleaning cart around late at night.
"I see."
Xiao He nodded and immediately began to lock onto the target.
As it turned out, Xiao He timed it perfectly; before he could even investigate the cleaning service, he received a text message.
【Manager Li: That kid's identity is not simple. Get him out of here immediately, or better yet, get rid of him.】
Upon seeing this message, Xiao He's eyelids twitched.
It's really too late! Zhou Junhao is really doomed!
This time, Xiao He didn't have time to think about anything else. He glanced at the computer and found that the police's response speed was unusually fast. They immediately noticed the abnormality and began to investigate the hotel.
Officer Li went even further, reprimanding the hotel manager who was about to send more messages and confiscating all of his communication devices. His attitude was exceptionally tough, as if he had immediately become certain that there was something wrong with the hotel!
It seems that Zhou Junhao had prepared a backup plan for himself.
—To be precise, he was living with this guy named Wang Yi, probably because he had already made preparations so that Wang Yi could call the police for him in a critical moment!
It's a pity, no matter how fast you react, it's still too late!
Formal means may not be able to stop informal means in a critical moment!
Xiao He immediately drew an item from the system, then changed into a set of unremarkable black clothes, and nimbly flipped out of the window...
-
A few minutes later, Xiao He found the cleaning staff without any mistakes.
He successfully concealed himself in the shadows, quietly waiting for the cleaning staff to finish tidying up their work.
The hotel stairwell is basically their own territory, so there is relatively little surveillance there, making it difficult to leave any traces.
However, Xiao He is not too worried about this matter now.
He touched the black mask that covered his face, which didn't even reveal his eyes, and felt completely calm.
【Robbery Mask Details: Essential for bank robberies, murders, and arson; the black hood makes it impossible for machines to track you!】
This mask was produced by the system. It is said that as long as you wear it, you will be like a black ghost wherever you go, blending into the shadows without leaving a trace. Even the most sophisticated instruments and the most experienced police officers will not be able to distinguish your appearance and figure.
To be honest, this thing is no different from a regular hood. The only difference is that it fits very well, doesn't obstruct vision when worn on the face, and doesn't expose the eyes. Even in the dark, it can be used to carry out criminal activities... oops, I mean rescue operations.
But think about it carefully, apart from robbers, who would walk around in public wearing a black hood? (Except for abstract designs). After all, even if you're wearing a hood, you're not going to look like a ghost and be completely invisible. So, what if not many people remember your face, but passersby call the police after you've only walked a few steps?
Xiao He had come across this item several times before, but he really thought it was useless and a waste of points. He figured it was just going to sit there as storage and there was no need to use it.
However, at this point, Xiao He had to admit that it was somewhat useful.
If you're going to be a robber, at least you won't show your face.
Zhou Junhao, you better not die!
