Brother Dao Took The Entertainment Industry By Storm Fans Beg Me Not To Kill Anymore Chapter 358

[ … words ]

Of course, Zhou Junhao was filled with gratitude towards the mysterious person who saved him, but the police became highly vigilant about this individual.

Because after investigation, they discovered this person seemed to have emerged from the ground, leaving absolutely no trace of their existence.

If it weren’t for the two men at the scene being beaten beyond recognition, their bodies covered with evidence, and their confession of the events to the police after waking up, the police probably wouldn’t even be sure this person existed.

The methods were just too ruthless, practically aiming to finish them off. If not for the last-minute mercy, Brother Hong and the other man would definitely have died horribly.

Unfortunately, aside from the injuries and the oral testimony, no relevant clues were left at the scene.

Brother Hong, however, stubbornly insisted that this suddenly appearing guy was the work of some industry competitor or rival team, or perhaps a professional like a hitman. In any case, his hands were definitely stained with blood. Just judging by the decisive and resolute state of his actions, one could tell he was absolutely a ruthless character.

When restraining the cleaner, he went straight for the kill, almost finishing her off right then and there. This simply didn’t seem like the work of a first-timer.

The other party was an extremely cruel, vicious, and utterly wicked scoundrel!

Even worse than him!

After analyzing the situation at the time, the police also began to suspect that this suddenly emerging hero who saved the day might not actually be a good person.

Even though, for some unknown reason, he intervened to save Zhou Junhao and spared the lives of those two, the police still suspected, based on those minute details, that this person was an extremely cold-blooded professional assassin.

His movements were too decisive, without a shred of humanity. Yet when restraining the cleaner, he could precisely control the pressure point, leaving her truly hanging between life and death.

Just based on this perfectly measured method of torture that didn’t cross the line into taking a life, it was clear the other party was definitely not simple.

Therefore, after repeatedly investigating Zhou Junhao’s personal history and ruling out people Zhou Junhao knew, the police began instead to investigate the list of assassins recorded in the internal network, along with relevant information on other suspicious fugitives, attempting to analyze the other party’s identity.

However, when the direction is wrong, the results obtained will always be wrong.

Brother Hong’s stubborn insistence on the ruthless methods completely separated this cold, mysterious figure from the utterly ordinary actor Xiao He.

After all, an actor is an actor, a criminal is a criminal. Even if their temperaments were similar, who would really confuse the two?

It was just that while the police returned empty-handed, Zhou Junhao harbored some suspicions about Xiao He.

Mainly because, given the situation at the time, the only person who might have known about his predicament and stepped in to help seemed to be Xiao He.

But Zhou Junhao wasn’t sure if Xiao He possessed such methods. After all, he only knew Xiao He was a skilled hacker, but matters of killing… he probably wouldn’t do that, right?

To prevent Zhou Junhao from deliberately concealing clues and withholding information about the mysterious person, the police repeatedly emphasized to Zhou Junhao the cruelty and ruthlessness of that mysterious figure. They even subtly hinted to Zhou Junhao that the mysterious person might have a strong antisocial personality disorder. If such a person were left at large, unchecked, it would pose a danger to society as a whole.

Listening to the police, Zhou Junhao’s mind flashed with images of the good deeds Xiao He had done and the personality he displayed daily on set. He nodded very seriously at the police: “Yes, you’re right. It’s indeed necessary to find that person as soon as possible.”

But it’s definitely not Brother Xiao!

Brother Xiao might look a bit fierce, but he’s truly a great guy!

Even with such formidable hacking skills, he never uses them to casually harm others. Instead, he uses his hacking techniques to secretly help many people, even saving many families!

Zhou Junhao had been lurking in the *Cangyue Calamity* production team for so long, actually also covertly observing Xiao He, curious about what kind of personality a person like Xiao He really had. But in the end, the answer Zhou Junhao arrived at was still that phrase—”Xiao He, he’s a good person.”

So the antisocial personality criminal the police were talking about definitely wasn’t Brother Xiao!

Then he absolutely couldn’t reveal anything about Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao is someone under the spotlight;
his every word and action is easily interpreted and misunderstood. If he brought trouble to Brother Xiao, it would basically ruin Brother Xiao’s acting career!

How would that be any different from repaying kindness with enmity?

Thus, Zhou Junhao ultimately said nothing. After confirming that Zhou Junhao wouldn’t provide more clues, the police didn’t press further, instead letting the injured Zhou Junhao rest properly.

After all, Zhou Junhao’s family background…

Let’s just say, some people venture out truly to pursue their beliefs and dreams.

Otherwise, an “ordinary” life could indeed be much more comfortable.

–

The timeline returns to the present. After confirming there were no bruises or wounds on the back of Xiao He’s hand, the final stone in Zhou Junhao’s heart finally settled.

According to the police’s analysis, even if the mysterious person wore gloves at the time, the force and frequency of the punches were enough to injure the knuckles.

After all, each punch was flesh against flesh, bone against bone.

But shortly after the incident, the police immediately took statements and questioned everyone in the hotel, while covertly screening for people with hand injuries.

And clearly, Xiao He was not among them.

—If there were no traces back then, there certainly wouldn’t be any now.

But seeing it with his own eyes, Zhou Junhao, now free of any concerns, finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Then he paused, feeling somewhat confused himself.

He was clearly convinced that Brother Xiao wasn’t the person who saved him, yet it was only until just now that he seemed to have finally convinced himself.

How strange…

Zhou Junhao shook his head, dispelling his tangled thoughts, and then said to Xiao He before him: “I’m not a hero either. I just faithfully recorded everything I saw. I merely completed my own work.”

A flash of admiration appeared in Xiao He’s eyes. Lu Weicheng was more direct, immediately praising: “Reporter Zhou truly is a journalist with lofty aspirations! We are sorely lacking people like you who are willing to run around for the truth these days! Ah, it’s just a pity that such a deed can’t be widely publicized for you. Otherwise, I really feel Reporter Zhou’s heroic act this time would be enough to become an example for many…”

Lu Weicheng’s words made Zhou Junhao somewhat bashful. Even this usually eloquent person showed an expression of discomfort in the face of Director Lu’s flattery. Fortunately, Director Lu had thick skin and was genuinely regretting the missed publicity opportunity, so he chattered on a bunch. Everyone just stood by, smiling and expressing agreement without interrupting.

Finally, the Jiaxing Entertainment producer beside them stopped Lu Weicheng’s incessant chatter, then smilingly helped Zhou Junhao out of the awkward situation: “Alright, Reporter Zhou still has many discharge procedures to handle after leaving the hospital. We should leave first. Our main purpose in coming this time was to express our concern for Reporter Zhou. You’re also welcome to visit our production team in the future. Many people in the crew are very concerned about you now.”

Zhou Junhao quickly nodded.

He really didn’t know what else to say.

When he was with the production team, aside from Uncle Han, the people he got along well with were Wang Yi and some other lower-level staff. As for people like directors and producers, sorry, he really wasn’t familiar with them.

“Good, good, good. Reporter Zhou, rest well and recover from your injuries. Remember to visit the crew when you have time. Little Wang’s acting isn’t bad;
I arranged a role with screen time for him. If you’re interested then, you can also come play a role.”

Lu Weicheng turned back with every step, still verbally inviting Zhou Junhao. Zhou Junhao nodded with a dry laugh, finally taking another look at Xiao He.

Xiao He’s attitude had been consistently indifferent since arriving at the ward, as if he really just came along for the visit, going through the motions. But when their eyes met, there was a tacit understanding born of multiple collaborations.

The corner of Xiao He’s mouth lifted slightly: “Take care of yourself.”

Zhou Junhao also showed a sincere smile: “Mm, thank you.”
