Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 55: So He Really Was an Anti-Fan?

Xiao He had no idea how things had suddenly turned out like this.

What kind of rotten luck was this in his life? Being targeted by the police while also being hunted by ”colleagues”... What the hell? Was he not allowed to live on either side?

The rookie Officer Li had never seen such a scene before. He responded while quickly calling the hospital. Officer Zhang looked up at the surrounding crowd and coldly drove them away: ”Everyone disperse, disperse! Open the windows over there, maintain ventilation!”

Seeing this scene, no one dared to approach anymore. Instantly, a large area was cleared, with people even wishing they could immediately run two miles away, putting as much distance between themselves and this guy as possible, absolutely not wanting to get involved.

Xiao He naturally stepped back too, but watching the man struggling in pain on the ground, he slightly frowned.

To be honest, this was Xiao Heʼs first time seeing a drug addict experiencing withdrawal symptoms up close.

No wonder the guy was weaker than he had imagined. Even someone like him with no combat experience had managed to take the guy down purely through wild punches.

So this guyʼs body had long been hollowed out by those substances...

At the same time, Xiao He felt anger rising within him.

Think about history, think about the peaceful prosperity maintained by countless narcotics officers today... Those who use and deal drugs are utterly despicable!
A guy like this... he should have punched him a few more times earlier! Itʼs really damn infuriating!

The man started vomiting after convulsing, and many people couldnʼt stand it, quickly running out of the room.

Fortunately, the nearest hospital was very close. The ambulance arrived at the scene and immediately took the man away to the emergency room for resuscitation.

Xiao He and his group followed Officer Zhang to the police station to give statements.

But unexpectedly, right after they arrived, news came from the hospital—

This suspect had suffered severe damage to his organs from long-term heavy drug use. Recently, he had engaged in mixed drug use (consuming different types of drugs), which exceeded his bodyʼs tolerance and caused severe poisoning. He died immediately upon reaching the emergency room.

Mixed drug use was extremely dangerous to begin with. Even when sent to the hospital for treatment, doctors needed time to determine which drug or combination had caused the poisoning, so this fatal outcome was somewhat predictable.

Everyone had done their duty, but some people always court death, not valuing their own lives, so they couldnʼt blame others.

Hearing this news, Xiao He subtly breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, now it was a case of dead men tell no tales. He could firmly claim to know nothing.

Xiao He shifted his gaze and suddenly landed on Xu Youyou across from him.

Like Xiao He, Xu Youyou also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly pleased to hear about the manʼs death.

This made Xiao He recall again what the suspect had threatened Xu Youyou with.

What secret did Xu Youyou need to protect so badly?

But then Xiao He shook his head indifferently.

Fortunately, the nearest hospital was very close. The ambulance arrived at the scene and immediately took the man away to the emergency room for resuscitation.

Next, Xiao He was taken alone to give a statement and was urged by Officer Zhang to take a urine test.

Xiao He: ”...Officer Zhang, I thought we were pretty familiar by now.”

Yet you donʼt suspect others, you suspect me!

Damn, this is questioning my character!

Officer Zhang glanced sideways at Xiao He: ”You little rascal, when giving your statement you claimed to know nothing about everything, and now youʼre trying to act familiar with me?”

Xiao He put on an innocent face: ”But I am innocent~”

Officer Zhang snorted with laughter and was about to say something more when his phone rang.

He looked at Xiao He, signaling for him to stay put, then walked out to answer the call.

Xiao He could only idly open his system interface.

[Congratulations on obtaining ”Art of Lies,” automatically learned]

[Art of Lies Details: Lying is a language art, and you have now mastered it. Even the most advanced lie detectors and truth serums cannot make you reveal the truth—so does truth really exist? Perhaps even you donʼt know.]

[Congratulations on obtaining ”Danger Evasion,” automatically learned]

[Danger Evasion Details: Danger comes in an instant, but passivity is faster than it! A life-saving treasure that can help you escape critical moments! It can increase your evasion probability to one hundred percent!]

These were the two special prizes Xiao He had drawn earlier—one active skill, one passive skill. He had drawn seven times in one go, with a pretty good drop rate.

When Shi Wei attacked him earlier, it was this ”Danger Evasion” passive skill that allowed Xiao He to successfully dodge the attack.

But looking at the things he had drawn now, Xiao He couldnʼt help but sigh deeply.

These skills... they were useful, sure, but they fell far short of the imagined ”dominating the scene.” Compared to other peopleʼs golden fingers shining brightly, he was truly somewhat shabby now.

Originally, Xiao He had fantasized about drawing skills like light-foot techniques, martial arts, or combat skills. That would have been very helpful whether facing ”colleagues” or during filming.

But now, after being busy for almost half a year, he only had scattered skills. They were useful, but... sigh! Maybe he was just too greedy!

Xiao He engaged in self-reflection but couldnʼt help letting his gaze fall on the second-tier draw button in the lottery pool—

Ten thousand points per draw!

Who knew if the second-tier draw would yield more powerful skills...

Xiao He calculated the current stable growth rate of his ”Mu Ze” and began looking forward to the releases of ”Killing Life” and ”Thief Catcher.”

Ahem... although he wasnʼt a real criminal... but which grind lord doesnʼt love drawing lots?

Draw! Itʼs all about the thrill, itʼs all about being average! Itʼs all about having things I might not use but canʼt not have!

...

About twenty minutes later, Officer Zhang walked in with a strange expression.

”Youʼre free to go, no further matters.”

Officer Zhang waved his hand.

Xiao He was confused: ”Huh?”

Officer Zhang: ”The investigation just revealed that this guy was named Shi Wei, the perpetrator in several other cases, and also your anti-fan. Killing you was indeed a spontaneous thing—you were just collateral damage.”

Xiao He: ?

Officer, are you listening to what youʼre saying?

Seeing Xiao He still looking confused, Officer Zhang kindly explained: ”Earlier, our police conducted a thorough re-investigation of the entire hotel and discovered another body. That body was Shi Weiʼs original target. Before this, he had already committed multiple murders and was a wanted fugitive. He was paranoid and aggressive—once he even attacked someone just because a passerby looked at him. Youʼre lucky you reacted quickly and dodged. If he had escaped this time, there probably would have been more murders.”

Xiao He let out an ”ah” and fell into brief silence.

This person was clearly coming for him... how could there be someone else involved?

”Um... how are you certain he was targeting someone else, and I was just collateral?” Xiao He asked with difficulty.

”The murder case at the hotel is rather special. Most likely, Shi Wei was replicating his previous murder to provoke the police. This case has been transferred to another department now, so I canʼt disclose too much to you.” Officer Zhang stopped there, not revealing any more.

But Xiao He understood—Zhu Third Brother had also been replicating murders before! These two guys were equally crazy! Really unbelievable!

”Usually, you should also pay attention to online public opinion and guard against jealousy and harm from malicious people. This Shi Wei had actually been blackening your name online for a long time. He even joined an anti-fan group, making up black material about you daily in the group and repeatedly threatening to make you die sooner or later. Youʼd better inform your agent and agency about this situation. They need to pay attention to and protect against these circumstances regularly.”

Officer Zhang finally reminded.

Xiao He: ”...Okay, alright, thank you.”

So he really was an anti-fan, and I became collateral damage?

Damn, have I become the clown?
