"Hey, don't panic. After what happened last night, the crew definitely can't start filming today. Since we're just sitting around anyway, I'll go help out."
Xiao He shook the snow shovel in his hand and then put it back outside the villager's house. "You know what, when we arrived, the sun had just begun to rise. It was really great to see the snow scenery from the mountain."
That drone was a modified version from a technology company that cooperated with the military. Only the military's propaganda department had it, and it was used specifically for internal recording and propaganda. The footage it produced was absolutely amazing, with the drone's performance at its maximum.
Xiao He was eager to try it himself, wanting to buy a set of equipment and modify it to see if he could achieve the same effect as the military's drones.
Xiao Chen was completely unaware that Xiao He had been abducted by a drone, and was still helplessly trying to persuade him: "Brother Xiao, that's not what I meant. I was just worried that something might happen to you on the way."
Although it's stopped raining down the mountain, it's possible it's still raining up there, and sleet is even more dangerous. Xiao He and his group are taking a certain risk by shoveling snow.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm starving, let's eat first."
Xiao He sat down directly at the table. "By the way, where are Director Yang and the others? The road over there is open now, so we can notify the crew to resume normal traffic."
"Okay, Brother Xiao, you eat first, I'll go tell Director Yang."
Xiao Chen was particularly enthusiastic about this matter. After dropping off Xiao He's lunch, she ran off to find Director Yang.
At noon, the road was officially opened to traffic, and Ding Cheng and Jiang Junjie left the village by car.
Before leaving, the crew asked Xiao He and Yun Ziqi for their thoughts.
Because Xiao He and Yun Ziqi were also present at the time, and shared a room with Jiang Junjie, the production team was worried that the two of them might have some objections.
Xiao He shook his head directly: "It's nothing, I've hardly had any contact with him."
The conditions for the transmission of this type of disease are not so easy to trigger, so Xiao He is not that wary of someone like Jiang Junjie.
Yun Ziqi also declined the suggestion: "I have scenes to film this afternoon, so I won't trouble everyone to make adjustments."
Yang Li and the production producer looked at the two people in front of them and sighed deeply: "Thank you for your understanding and support."
...
In the afternoon, news came from the side that had gone for the checkup.
"Jiang Junjie has been arrested!"
When Xiao Chen told Xiao He about this, Xiao He was both surprised and not surprised. He asked in astonishment, "Why? Because he was diagnosed?"
Jiang Junjie is definitely not a good person, there's no doubt about that. However, Xiao He hasn't investigated him, so it's really uncertain whether he's mentally ill.
"Hey, this is getting complicated—"
Xiao Chen lowered her voice and said, "The main problem is that they were exposed when they went for a checkup. And ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) guess what, Brother Xiao? Several internet celebrities suddenly called the police, exposing all the scumbag things Jiang Junjie had done, and accusing him of infecting them with sexually transmitted diseases."
Xiao He stared in disbelief: "Huh?"
"But here's the funny part! Jiang Junjie really wasn't sick! His test results are real! The acne was just nodular acne, not contagious, and definitely not a sexually transmitted disease! He was just a complete idiot back then, trying to avoid causing any misunderstandings, so he wanted to cut the bed sheet away..."
"Wait, wait—"
Xiao He understood the current situation: "So the reason he was arrested is because his examination was exposed, which scared several internet celebrities associated with him. As a result, before the final results were even released, they directly attacked Jiang Junjie and even sent him to the police station?"
"Hey! Brother Xiao, you got it right!"
Xiao Chen gave Xiao He a thumbs up, but Xiao He frowned, feeling that the series of events was too coincidental and bizarre.
At the time, only the crew members knew about Jiang Junjie's situation. How did it spread to the internet so quickly?
Furthermore, when her boyfriend, with whom she had a close relationship, was suspected of having a disease, those female internet celebrities didn't get checked immediately; instead, they went out and attacked him.
Twists and turns, and suddenly it feels like Jiang Junjie was set up...
"But it's also fortunate that Jiang Junjie was never a good person to begin with. He messed around with women and didn't even get sick. It's a miracle that he got away with it. Now, karma has come full circle, and he's been sent to the police station by his girlfriends. It's his retribution."
Xiao Chen praised, "Luckily, Brother Xiao, you saw it when you got up in the middle of the night, otherwise probably no one would know about it, and he would have gotten away with it."
Xiao He suddenly fell into deep thought.
What's most surprising is that he was an indirect instigator in the whole affair that led to Jiang Junjie's arrest.
Therefore, his intervention indirectly helped others, making Jiang Junjie's house collapse incident more logical.
But why is the other party targeting Jiang Junjie?
Could it be... a character?
As Xiao He walked, he pondered the question, when he suddenly overheard two staff members talking.
"Hey, do you know where Xiao He went this morning?"
"I don't know, what happened to him?"
"He went to shovel snow with the troops this morning."
"Wow, he's such a show-off! What's he thinking? What's the point of being so enthusiastic?"
"Tch, just creating a persona. Just wait and see, there might be news reports about it soon, like some movie star doing a good deed, shoveling snow, a model of celebrity... Tsk tsk, let me tell you, Xiao He is the most pretentious one in that house. His family is a master of marketing."
"Yeah, right, he became famous for doing good deeds before, right? I can't believe it, it's such an old-fashioned marketing method. His face doesn't look like a good person, and his fans are just trying to create a cute contrast. Sigh, now he's doing this again. How can this not be considered staying true to his original intentions?"
"Hahaha--"
Xiao He stood quietly in place, listening to the two staff members' words without expression.
The two men's laughter was particularly grating. Xiao Chen had never expected that these two staff members would talk about his brother Xiao like this behind his back. He was furious on the spot and rolled up his sleeves, ready to rush out and confront them.
But Xiao He grabbed him unexpectedly.
Xiao He glanced coldly at Xiao Chen, signaling him to keep quiet, then silently walked down the corridor to the two gossipy staff members.
When the two staff members saw Xiao He come out, they immediately hissed, stood up straight, lowered their heads, and stood carefully in place, afraid that Xiao He would get angry.
Xiao He simply watched the two of them calmly.
An unnamed chill suddenly poured out, instantly frightening the two of them so much that they trembled and dared not speak.
The expected reaction did not occur. Instead, their own bladders were under pressure, and they were almost scared to death by the fleeting murderous intent.
It seemed that only at this moment did they realize that the person standing in front of them was Xiao He, a villainous actor who rose to fame through his work.
That kind of tangible killing intent was something that ordinary people like them simply couldn't withstand.
No wonder there was a rumor that encountering Xiao He's portrayal of a criminal was the most terrifying thing, capable of scaring the actor on the spot.
Looking at it now, perhaps the rumors were true.
"Yes, I'm sorry."
As soon as one person apologized, the other person immediately and quickly apologized as well.
Xiao He said nothing, but continued walking forward, not even bothering to give a second glance.
Only after they had completely gone far away did Xiao Chen finally lose her temper and speak up for Xiao He: "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you? Those two were saying such nasty things, why didn't you confront them on the spot?"
They should just kick him out of the production crew, that's just too much! This is pure fabrication!
Xiao He simply shook his head, then chuckled, his mood noticeably improved: "Forget it, it's pointless. These two guys are too blatant; I'm too lazy to even talk to them."
Even close friends and family members know when to be discreet about the occasion when gossiping. These two, on the other hand, just stood by the roadside, chatting away, completely absorbed in their conversation... How dare they? Why not create a private group chat instead of talking about it in real life?!
He even deliberately let himself run into her.
"Director Ning was right after all."
Xiao He murmured.
"These people are more cunning than honeycomb briquettes."
Having just finished plotting against Jiang Junjie, they immediately turned their attention to him.
That's really interesting.
