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

Chapter 348: Clang Clang Clang—[Robbery Mask]

The speed at which news spreads is always faster than the policeʼs speed at finding people.

Long before Wang Yi made a scene at the front desk, the news that a small extra had gone missing in the hotel had already spread through the group chats of all the major production teams nearby.

Although it was just a small extra, after all, a living person had directly disappeared. When everyone discussed this matter, they couldnʼt help but sigh with mixed emotions.

By the time that news had circulated and come back around, it had already evolved into another complete version of the story—

A small extra, depressed and unable to achieve his ambitions, suffering from severe psychological illness due to the pressures of real life. Yet, even so, he persisted in chasing his dream.

However, today, he was once again kicked out of the production team for no reason. The shattering of his dream yet again made him unable to accept this reality, so he ultimately chose to leave, ending his own life in a deserted corner.

—Without a doubt, in this version of the plot, that villainous production team was, once again, ”Cangyue Calamity”.

It was ”Cangyue Calamity” that kicked the person out of the crew, driving him to choose suicide.

By the time the relevant main creative team of ”Cangyue Calamity” learned of this matter, the story had already evolved into ”the small extraʼs body has been recovered;ʼCangyue Calamityʼ has caused a death.”

Although everyone knew that this news was most likely the work of some opponent who couldnʼt stand them, or an actorʼs rival, but with things reaching this critical juncture, it really made them feel like a mute person tasting bitter herbs—unable to speak of their suffering.
Although the timeline had clear issues, and the ”small extraʼs” disappearance had nothing to do with the ”Cangyue Calamity” production team, they couldnʼt stop having a pig teammate who insisted on kicking the person out directly before the situation was clear!

The speed of trying to wash their hands of the matter couldnʼt keep up with the speed of others pinning the blame on them!

When Liu Rulan learned of this matter, her face turned dark, and she decisively contacted the director of ”Cangyue Calamity”.

”This Producer Luo keeps causing one trouble after another. I think Director Lu, youʼd better make plans early so you donʼt get innocently implicated, donʼt you agree?”

Lu Weichengʼs expression was bitter, and his voice carried a touch of world-weariness. ”I understand.”

With ”Cangyue Calamity” having constant incidents, he had recently been losing hair by the handful. At this rate, by the time he finished filming this project, he should already be bald.

But what could he do?

When he tolerated certain people and certain behaviors within the crew and turned a blind eye, the karma of these matters would ultimately return in another form.

So all Lu Weicheng could do was try his best to remedy the situation...

After communicating with Director Lu for a while, Liu Rulan called Xiao He.

But for some reason, this kid actually hung up automatically.

However, the next moment, Liu Rulan immediately received an automatically sent text message.

[Xiao He: Busy. Do not disturb. Handle urgent matters yourself.]

Liu Rulanʼs lips twitched.

”This brat is getting more and more thorough.”

Last time, when Xiao He hung up the phone in an emergency, it scared Liu Rulan into immediately finding Lao Qi to confirm the situation. So later, Xiao He learned his lesson. When it wasnʼt convenient to answer the phone, he would set up an auto-reply to let Liu Rulan not worry, and also to make her stay calm and not randomly send people to disturb him.

So after that, Liu Rulan also wouldnʼt casually send people to disturb Xiao He.

But this time...

”Could this kid also be involved in the matter at the hotel?”

Liu Rulan looked at this reply with great concern.

”Things are tense recently. Heʼd better not casually use his... There are no walls in this world that wind cannot pass through.”

The state apparatus is exceptionally sharp and very patient.

If he really got targeted, no matter how capable Xiao He was, he wouldnʼt be able to escape...

However, Liu Rulanʼs worries couldnʼt be told to Xiao He right now.

At this moment, Xiao He was hiding in the hotelʼs emergency stairwell, quietly observing the situation over there.

A cleaning staff member wearing a mask was standing in the cleaning room, simply tidying up her tools.

Just a few minutes ago, Lao Qi reported the situation he discovered to Xiao He via phone.

”That cleaning staff member is suspicious. I was just about to follow her when she immediately and subtly blocked me. To avoid her detecting anything abnormal, I could only come back first.”

Pushing a cleaning cart around everywhere late at night—this looked strange no matter how you saw it.

”I know.”

Xiao He nodded and immediately began to fix his attention on the target.

As it turned out, Xiao Heʼs timing was just perfect. Before he even had time to investigate this cleanerʼs situation, he first received a text message.

[Manager Li: That kidʼs identity is not simple. You must transfer him out immediately. Itʼs best to just dispose of him.]

Seeing this message, Xiao Heʼs eyelids twitched.

There really was no time left! Zhou Junhao, this kid, was really going to be done for!

This time, there was no time for random thoughts. Xiao He glanced at his computer and found that the policeʼs reaction speed this time was unusually fast. They had immediately detected something abnormal and begun investigating the hotel.

Officer Xiao Li was even more direct, berating the hotel manager who was preparing to continue sending messages and confiscating all of his communication devices. His attitude was exceptionally tough, as if he had instantly become convinced that the hotel had a problem!

It seemed Zhou Junhao had prepared a backup plan for himself in advance.

—To be precise, him staying with this guy called Wang Yi was probably also a prepared move from the start, so that Wang Yi could help him call the police at a critical moment!

What a pity. No matter how fast the reaction, it still wasnʼt fast enough!

Official methods, at critical moments, might not necessarily be fast enough to stop unofficial methods!

Xiao He immediately drew a prop from the system, then changed into a set of featureless black clothes, nimbly flipping out of the window...

A few minutes later, Xiao He accurately and unerringly found this cleaning staff member.

He successfully concealed himself in the shadows, quietly waiting for the cleaner to finish tidying up the things in her hands.

The hotel stairwell entrance was basically their own peopleʼs territory, so there were fewer surveillance cameras here, making it less likely to leave traces.

However, the current Xiao He wasnʼt very worried about this matter either.

He touched the black mask on his face that didnʼt even reveal his eyes, feeling very calm inside.

[Robbery Mask Details: Essential for robbing banks, murder, and arson! The black hood makes even machines unable to trace your tracks!]

This mask was a system product. It was said that as long as you wore it, you would be like a black ghost wherever you went, merging with the shadows, leaving no traces. Even the most precise instruments or the most experienced veteran police officers would be unable to distinguish his appearance or figure.

To be honest, this thing wasnʼt really different from an ordinary hood. The only feeling was that this hood fit very snugly. Worn on the face, it didnʼt obstruct vision or expose oneʼs eyes. Even in the dark, one could carry out criminal activities very well... ahem, rescue activities.

But think about it carefully, besides robbers, who would walk around in public wearing a black hood? (Abstract art performances excluded.) After all, while wearing it might make one say theyʼre a ghost, itʼs not like theyʼd actually become invisible like a real ghost. So donʼt let it be that not many people remember the face, but before taking a few steps, passersby call the police first!

Xiao He had flipped past this prop several times before, but he had truly felt this prop was useless before, a pure waste of points. Even if he drew it, heʼd just store it away as inventory management, completely unnecessary.

But at this moment, Xiao He still had to admit it was somewhat useful.

So be it if heʼs a robber. At least his face isnʼt exposed.

Zhou Junhao, kid, you better not die!
