Of course, Zhou Junhao was filled with gratitude for the mysterious person who saved him, but the police were highly vigilant about this person.
After investigation, they discovered that this person seemed to have emerged from the ground, leaving no trace of his existence.
If the two people at the scene hadn't been beaten so badly they couldn't recognize their own mothers, and hadn't been covered in marks, and hadn't confessed what happened to the police after waking up, the police probably wouldn't have been sure if this person even existed.
That was way too ruthless; they were practically trying to kill him. If they hadn't shown mercy at the end, Hong Ge and the other man would have definitely died a horrible death.
Unfortunately, apart from the injuries and statements, no other relevant clues were left at the scene.
Hong Ge, however, insisted that the guy who suddenly appeared was either a colleague or a rival, or a professional assassin. In any case, he must have taken many lives. Just by looking at the guy's decisive and ruthless manner, you could tell he was definitely a ruthless character.
When she grabbed the cleaner, she used extreme force, almost killing him. This was nothing like a novice doing this for the first time.
The other party is an extremely vicious and ruthless villain!
Even worse than him!
Speaking of his experience, Hong still felt pain all over his body, while the cleaning lady, whose voice was so hoarse that she could no longer speak, shook her head and nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of fear.
After analyzing the situation, the police also felt that this suddenly appearing hero might not necessarily be a good person.
Even though he didn't know why he saved Zhou Junhao and spared their lives, the police still suspected from those minor details that he was an extremely cold-blooded professional killer.
His actions were too decisive, devoid of any humanity, yet when he was cleaning, he was able to time his actions perfectly, leaving the other person hanging on the edge of life and death.
Just from the fact that the torture method was just right and didn't endanger lives, you can tell that the other party must be someone extraordinary.
After repeatedly investigating Zhou Junhao's personal history and ruling out people he knew, the police began to investigate the list of killers recorded on the internal network, as well as information on other suspicious wanted criminals, in an attempt to analyze their identities.
However, when the direction is wrong, the result will always be wrong.
Hong Ge's ruthless and unwavering approach completely distinguishes this cold and mysterious character from the ordinary actor Xiao He.
After all, an actor is an actor, and a criminal is a criminal. Even if they have similar temperaments, who would really confuse them?
However, when the police returned empty-handed, Zhou Junhao began to have some doubts about Xiao He.
Given the circumstances at the time, it seemed that Xiao He was the only one who could have known his situation and offered to help.
Zhou Junhao wasn't sure if Xiao He had such methods. After all, he only knew that Xiao He was a skilled hacker, but murder... he probably wouldn't do that, right?
To prevent Zhou Junhao from deliberately concealing clues and failing to report information about the mysterious person, the police repeatedly emphasized the mysterious person's cruelty and ruthlessness to Zhou Junhao, and even subtly reminded him that the mysterious person might have a strong antisocial personality disorder. If such a person were left out in the open, it would be a danger to the entire society.
As Zhou Junhao listened to the police, the good deeds Xiao He had done and his personality on set flashed through his mind. He nodded seriously to the police: "Yes, you are right. We really need to find him as soon as possible."
But it's definitely not Brother Xiao!
Although Brother Xiao looks a bit fierce, he is really a great person!
Even with such powerful hacking skills, he never used them to harm others. Instead, he secretly used his hacking techniques to help many people and even save many families!
Zhou Junhao had been secretly observing Xiao He for so long while he was working on the set of "Cang Yue Jie". He was curious about what kind of person Xiao He was. But in the end, the answer Zhou Junhao got was still the same sentence - "Xiao He, he is a good person".
So the antisocial personality criminal the police were talking about is definitely not Brother Xiao!
Then he definitely couldn't reveal Brother Xiao's affairs! Brother Xiao is a person in the spotlight, and his every word and action is easily interpreted and misunderstood. If he caused trouble for Brother Xiao, it would basically ruin Brother Xiao's career!
How is this any different from repaying kindness with enmity?
So Zhou Junhao didn't say anything in the end. After confirming that Zhou Junhao would no longer provide any more clues, the police stopped pressing him for answers and instead let the injured Zhou Junhao rest.
After all, Zhou Junhao's family background...
All I can say is that some people come out of seclusion truly to pursue their beliefs and dreams.
Otherwise, an "ordinary" life could be much more comfortable.
-
Back in the present, after confirming that Xiao He had no bruises or wounds on the back of his hand, Zhou Junhao finally felt relieved.
依照警方的说法，当时神秘人即便是戴了手套，但揍人的力度和次数，足以让手关节受伤。
After all, when a punch lands, it's flesh against flesh, bone against bone.
However, shortly after the incident, the police immediately took statements and questioned everyone in the hotel, and also secretly checked on people with wounds on their hands.
It is obvious that Xiao He is not among them.
There were no traces then, and there are even fewer now.
After seeing it with his own eyes, Zhou Junhao, free from any worries, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He then paused, somewhat confused himself.
He was convinced that Brother Xiao was not the one who saved him, {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} but it wasn't until just now that he seemed to have finally convinced himself.
That's strange...
Zhou Junhao shook his head to clear his mind of his chaotic thoughts before saying to Xiao He, "I'm not a hero. I just faithfully recorded everything I saw. I was just doing my job."
Xiao He's eyes flashed with admiration, while Lu Weicheng was more direct, immediately praising, "Reporter Zhou is indeed a journalist with lofty aspirations! What we lack now are people like you who are willing to fight for the truth! Alas, it's a pity that we can't help you publicize this deed, otherwise I really think that Reporter Zhou's heroic act is enough to serve as a role model for many people..."
Lu Weicheng's words made Zhou Junhao a little embarrassed. The usually eloquent man showed his discomfort in the face of Director Lu's flattery. Fortunately, Director Lu was thick-skinned and was genuinely regretting the popularity of this event, so he rambled on and on. No one interrupted, and they just stood aside smiling and expressing their agreement.
Finally, the producer from Jiaxing Entertainment stopped Lu Weicheng from talking incessantly, and then smiled to help Zhou Junhao out of the predicament: "Alright, reporter Zhou still has a lot of procedures to go through after being discharged from the hospital, so let's leave first. The main reason we came here this time was to express our concern for reporter Zhou. We also welcome reporter Zhou to visit our crew in the future. Many people in the crew are very concerned about you now."
Zhou Junhao nodded quickly.
He really didn't know what to say.
On set, besides Uncle Han, the only people he was close to were Wang Yi and some other low-level staff. As for the director and producer, well, he wasn't really familiar with them.
"Alright, alright, reporter Zhou, take good care of your injury. Remember to come to the film set when you have time. Xiao Wang is a good actor. I've arranged a role for him with some screen time. If you're interested, you can also play a role."
Lu Weicheng kept turning back as he took a step, still inviting Zhou Junhao. Zhou Junhao nodded with a dry laugh, and then glanced at Xiao He one last time.
Xiao He's attitude remained indifferent after arriving at the ward, as if he was just passing by and going through the motions. However, when their eyes met, there was a hint of tacit understanding from their many collaborations.
Xiao He smiled slightly: "Take care of yourself."
Zhou Junhao also smiled sincerely: "Yes, thank you."
