Xiao He was unaware that Ban Heng had already taken care of Han Zaiyu for him.
When everyone left the police station, he even left his signature on Ban Zheyu's skateboard.
Ban Zheyu hugged his skateboard, smiling proudly: "I'll definitely take this skateboard back and cherish it. It was the key weapon that Brother Xiao used to save my life!"
"Shhh."
Xiao He raised a finger and shook his head slightly at Ban Zheyu.
Ban Zheyu immediately covered his mouth: "I didn't say anything just now."
Xiao He sighed helplessly, "Go back. Isn't your sister waiting for you to send the photos?"
Ban Zheyu was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed "Holy crap!" He frantically pulled out his phone and, as expected, saw twenty missed calls and 99+ WeChat messages left by his older sister in China.
"We're doomed!"
Ban Zheyu screamed in despair and jumped into the car: "Goodbye, Brother Xiao! Second Uncle, hurry, take me home, I'm about to die!"
Before Xiao He could finish speaking, Ban Zheyu urged the driver to speed away, leaving only the exhaust fumes behind.
"...Is it really that scary?"
As an only child, Xiao He awkwardly withdrew his hand.
He had originally planned to leave a photo or autograph, but he didn't expect the person to run away so quickly.
There's nothing we can do about that...
Liu Rulan and Jemies also came over.
"Let's go back."
"Um."
That was the end of it for now, and Xiao He and his group returned directly to the hotel.
The following day, Han Jae-woo, who was being investigated by the police, suddenly broke his leg, and the injury was extremely serious.
It is said that he slipped and fell face down, accidentally knocking off his nose implant.
However, because the police were investigating him, Han Jae-woo had to undergo simple treatment and then stay at the police station for questioning, just like the perpetrator.
Although Han Jae-woo's assistant took the blame for the "hiring someone to injure someone" incident and he was quickly released from the police station, Han # Nоvеlight # Jae-woo's nose still suffered very serious damage. If it was not repaired in time, there was a high probability of long-term sequelae. Therefore, they had to end their work in the United States and return to China in a sorry state for treatment.
However, public opinion in China remains negative. Han Zaiyu is treated like a rat in the street upon his return, and he no longer enjoys the glory he had when he first went abroad.
Even when news of his injury reached China, apart from his fans who felt sorry for him, most people mocked him.
After all, Han Zaiyu is such an idiot that he can trip and fall while walking and end up like this.
Later, the police publicly disclosed the case of this serial killer, and Xiao He realized just how arrogant the murderer was.
Before Ban Zheyu, he had been on the run for three years, committing multiple murders and even provoking the police at the crime scenes, making him a wanted person on the police's internal wanted list.
Now that they've been arrested, the police naturally want to give it a good "publicity" to prove their strength and show taxpayers that they are not to be underestimated and that their authority cannot be challenged!
As for Xiao He and the thugs, their presence was not so strong. Xiao He was even nameless in this incident, and in the published case details, he was described as a "helpful passerby who called the police." Most people on the internet focused their attention on the perpetrator, and not many people paid attention to this "helpful passerby."
As for the production team, after Director Tannis learned of the situation, he had no intention of using this incident for marketing. Therefore, Xiao He and his team were happy to relax and not have to deliberately guide public opinion, completely including it in Xiao He's list of "good deeds done anonymously".
...
Two days later, Xiao He officially bid farewell to the "Ford v Ferrari 7" crew and returned to France to prepare for the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.
Before leaving, director Tannis asked Xiao He about his schedule for the second half of the year, but received a regretful reply from Xiao He: "I already have a schedule for the second half of this year. It was decided a long time ago. I'm very sorry."
Director Tannis sighed and said nothing in the end, only congratulating Xiao He on his film being shortlisted and expressing his hope that Xiao He would shine at the film festival.
With director Tannis's blessing, Xiao He landed in Paris.
This is the capital of France, a global center for art, fashion, and culture. It boasts numerous renowned fashion brands and designers, and the annual Paris Fashion Week attracts top fashion talent from around the world. A complete fashion ecosystem thrives here, leading the trends in fashion.
Compared to Grasse, which he visited last time, the fashion atmosphere here is undoubtedly much stronger. When Xiao He was led by Liu Rulan to a top-notch fashion design studio, he couldn't hide his shock.
"Sister Liu, you actually have such connections?"
Looking at the row of high-fashion couture items that had just been pushed down the corridor, Xiao He couldn't help but sigh at his own ignorance.
Although the fashion world has been dominated by some outrageously ugly clothes in recent years, it must be admitted that in these high-end studios, the majority of the clothes are still beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and not as horrific as one might imagine.
However, it must be admitted that most of them are women's clothing.
Even if they are just hanging on a hanger, or worn on a pure white faceless mannequin, those clothes can still exude beauty and elegance.
As Xiao He walked along the corridor, he felt as if he were watching a fashion show.
"You know these people too?"
Liu Rulan pushed open the door to a lounge, her voice tinged with a smile.
Xiao He was somewhat bewildered: "I know him too?"
"The last time we came to the Kingdom of Fran."
Liu Rulan reminded her with a smile.
In an instant, a person flashed through Xiao He's mind.
Mrs. Marshall?
His face was filled with shock.
"Bingo, congratulations on getting it right." Liu Rulan snapped her fingers. "When we left, she recommended a designer to me, and then I had a good chat with them and prepared your outfit for the Cannes red carpet in advance."
"It was around that time—"
Xiao He had guessed that Mrs. Marshall was someone of high status, but he never expected that she would have such connections here.
However, perfume is part of the fashion industry, and Mrs. Marshall is a big name in the perfume world. It's not unreasonable for her to know a few well-known fashion designers.
Xiao He leaned closer to Liu Rulan and whispered, "Sister Liu, they shouldn't make me wear anything strange, right?"
In truth, Xiao He felt that wearing a black suit and casually walking around would be fine; after all, there isn't that much room for improvisation in men's fashion. Many male celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry, on the contrary, become the target of ridicule and relentless criticism from fashion bloggers precisely because they overdo it, ultimately ending up looking better in a simple black suit, neither particularly good nor bad.
Moreover, the higher the status of these designers, the more they like to have the final say. Even if the celebrities know that the designs are ugly, they don't dare to offend them and can only grit their teeth and wear them.
Therefore, Xiao He had already begun to make preparations in his mind.
If it really looks bad later, will he say it directly, or will he just say it directly?
