Shortly after Xiao He and the others left the ward, Zhou Junhao's sister also returned from downstairs after completing her discharge procedures.
"Did someone else just come?"
The beautiful and gentle woman bent down and put the completed formalities into her handbag at the foot of the bed. She was somewhat surprised to see ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) a pile of gift bags neatly arranged on the floor.
People who came to visit before brought a lot of things, but since they were preparing to be discharged from the hospital, they had already moved many things to their car to take with them all at once. However, they did not expect that there would be many more things on the ground after they went out for a short while.
"Yes, they are the director and producer from my previous film crew. It's probably because of the recent press release. They want me to help improve their public image and reputation in future reports," Zhou Junhao explained.
Zhou Junhao's older sister, Zhou Junxue, frowned.
“Since their motives are impure, you shouldn’t have let them in, much less accepted their gifts.”
Zhou Junhao was immediately embarrassed: "I couldn't stop her, sis."
Actually, I was a little excited because I saw Brother Xiao, so I didn't think too much about it and just let the group of people in.
Zhou Junxue carefully checked the contents of the gift bags to make sure there was nothing that shouldn't be there before finally letting out a sigh of relief: "Luckily, they know what they're doing. I'll have your brother-in-law go down there again in a bit and have him take these things down with him."
"Okay, thank you, sis."
Soon, a tall, imposing man with a dignified expression walked into the ward.
Seeing the pile of gifts on the ground, his expression showed a hint of surprise, and his hawk-like gaze suddenly fell on Zhou Junhao: "Did an acquaintance just come over?"
Since Zhou Junhao fell ill, people have been coming to visit him in droves. Some came because Zhou Junhao had exposed the hotel's secrets and wanted to find out more and profit from it; others knew about Zhou Junhao's family background and wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to him; and finally, there were some relatives and friends that Zhou Junhao knew and was close to.
As a junior member of a family with a rather unique background, Zhou Junhao generally doesn't accept gifts casually, unless they are from trusted acquaintances.
Zhou Junhao nodded, showing no sign of surprise at his brother-in-law's subtle probing. Instead, he said with some delight, "Yes, he's a friend I met when I was undercover in the film crew. I didn't expect that my work would also help him land a small role. I believe he can definitely use this opportunity to move forward step by step and let more people see him."
It's a bit of a pity, though. He was so focused on Brother Xiao's matter that he didn't have a chance to say more to Wang Yi. Overall, it was Wang Yi who saved his life by calling the police in time!
Thinking this, Zhou Junhao showed a hint of regret.
Upon hearing Zhou Junhao's words, Yan Zhengbai glanced silently at his brother-in-law, his sharp eyebrows unconsciously rising slightly, exuding an imposing aura.
This brother-in-law is the youngest son of my parents-in-law. He has a lively personality and is quite intelligent. He is indeed good at gathering information, but he is a bit too idealistic and heroic. He likes to take risks and lacks a sense of proportion.
Although Yan Zhengbo did not get too involved in the investigation of the case after the person was rescued, he carefully studied the relevant records and testimonies.
He always felt that his brother-in-law hadn't given the police any clean information, but some details did somehow match up.
"Why did they take so long to arrive? You were already preparing to be discharged."
Yan Zhengbai asked.
“Ah, that film crew has been quite unlucky, with many incidents happening. They’ve been rushing to meet deadlines and keeping a low profile, not daring to come over when things are in the spotlight,” Zhou Junhao said. “So this dragged on until I was discharged from the hospital.”
"Bad luck?"
"It can't really be called bad luck..." Zhou Junhao recalled his time on the set, where he heard a lot of gossip and inside stories. He shrugged helplessly, "It's because they kept misjudging people and had dirty hands. The people they brought in were all shady."
Ultimately, it's their own problem.
"This area definitely needs to be rectified."
Yan Zhengbai nodded.
Behind the hotel voyeurism incident lies a dark industry chain worthy of in-depth investigation. Although the police will not release these more detailed inside stories, they have taken the opportunity of this incident to begin internal reforms and strengthen controls. However, such actions will inevitably take time to see results.
"Alright, stop doubting this and that all the time, and stop always having such a fierce look on your face."
Zhou Junxue nudged her husband's arm with her elbow and said irritably, "Xiao Hao has been in the hospital for almost a month now. It's time to go back. If you keep dawdling, Mom and Dad will get worried!"
Yan Zhengbai immediately stopped talking, silently walked over, bent down and began to move things.
...
Xiao He had no idea that such a thing had happened in the ward after they left. After returning to the "Chasing the Wind" crew, he continued filming the remaining scenes, and nothing else happened during this time.
Before we knew it, it was already the end of November.
Before we know it, the last month of the year is almost here.
In addition to filming "The Legend of Chasing the Wind", Xiao He has also been invited to various platforms' year-end celebrations and annual summary meetings.
Hsiao Ho's output this year wasn't particularly high, but "Law of the Jungle" alone is enough to give him a remarkable achievement at the end of the year.
The previously quiet "Sumiya" has finally made new progress, with the official Weibo account starting to promote it. The first season of "Sumiya" is scheduled to premiere on New Year's Day, January 1st next year.
As a web series featuring handsome men and beautiful women and directed and produced by the cartoonist himself, it has quite a lot of fanfare. It started with a bombshell, releasing the official trailer version, and its faithful production immediately propelled the name "Yuya" to the top of the trending searches.
By the time Xiao He reposted the post, discussions about "Yu Ye" were already in full swing, with the comment section filled with screams from the audience.
【Ahhh, I've finally waited for you! I'm so glad I didn't give up!】
【Wishing "Yu Ye" a huge success! Looking forward to Si Tong's performance!】
【Oh, a live-action version of "Sumiya" is out? When did this happen? I'm so shocked.】
【Hey Frog Fun, upstairs! The casting for *Yuya* even trended on social media! The director himself took charge, and while the characters weren't perfect fits, everyone was incredibly good-looking, especially Guo Xinya, who played the female lead—she's based on the manga character! I was totally blown away by her beauty on set!】
【This trailer looks really high-quality! It doesn't have that cheap, low-budget feel of typical web dramas, and director Jiao Dai's cinematography is quite good; it's very comfortable to watch.】
【As a fan of the original work, I was initially quite worried, but after seeing the trailer for this live-action version, I suddenly feel confident again.】
【Yeah, I was actually quite worried about Xiao He, but I didn't expect this kid to be so good at playing the innocent, puppy-like character. Hearing him call me "sister" was so satisfying.】
【Haha, Brother Xiao: I'm so sad I've lost my age, I'm only 18~~~】
