Once they arrived at the hotel they had booked in advance, the group was finally able to rest.

In the morning, several related topics slowly climbed to the top of the trending searches—

Hsiao Ho arrested at airport

[Xiao He appeared at Beijing Airport in the early hours of the morning and was intercepted by the police!]

[Xiao He: Playing Meng Zetian, becoming Meng Zetian!]

Actor Hsiao Ho was arrested because of a role he played?

Many people who woke up early in the morning, still half asleep, opened their phones and saw this message, instantly waking up completely.

In the video, a group of uniformed people surround Xiao He. Then Liu Rulan comes out and talks to the police. The two stand at attention and wait for the head officer to check their identification.

After the investigation, the police officer spoke to them briefly before leading Xiao He and the others away from the scene.

Upon seeing this video, others were somewhat puzzled.

What happened? What's going on? Why was Xiao He surrounded by the police? Why was Xiao He taken away by the police?

—Did Xiao He get into trouble? What did he do?

Filled with curiosity and doubt, they opened the messages and read them carefully before they learned what had happened.

[Seriously, can you marketing accounts please stop posting such ambiguous headlines all the time? Before clicking in, I thought Xiao He had been executed.]

"Well, that's not necessarily the case."

[Haha, the title upstairs is even more heavyweight.]

[So, to summarize, Xiao He's portrayal of Meng Zetian was so convincingly evil that he was reported on while on a plane?]

[Haha, I was half asleep this morning, but seeing this news woke me up with a laugh.]

[Brother Xiao, could you... maybe take on some positive roles next time? I'm begging you, my mom asks me who my idol is, and I'm too embarrassed to point them out. PS: My parents are also watching "Shining Stars" lately, and their absolute least favorite character is Meng Zetian.]

Indeed, I don't even dare put Brother Xiao's photo on the table, otherwise I'd definitely be kicked out of the house.

[+1, as fans of Brother Xiao, keeping a low profile is our norm.]

If it's Meng Zetian, I'll offer my contempt; if it's Brother Xiao, I'll offer my ridicule—hahaha…

[This is hilarious! The fact that he got arrested for playing Tai Zhen used to be just a joke, but now it's really become a laughing stock. Xiao Ge, maybe you should go back to being a programmer; there's a real risk of going to jail in the entertainment industry.]

[No, please don't scare our Brother Xiao! He's the only one in the Chinese entertainment industry. If you scare him away, who will be left to kill him?!]

You guys are so mean! I want to be your online friend again in my next life.

Not only were netizens laughing online, but several of Xiao He's friends also sent their warm greetings.

Leading the charge were naturally the crew of "Shining Stars." Iman'er arrived first, offering her condolences and teasing to Xiao He. Director Wen Hongyuan was quite pleased with the buzz Xiao He had generated, praising and showing concern for him. Producer Ma Qianyou was even more direct, giving Xiao He a large red envelope to calm his nerves.

Xiao He was truly at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

[Xiao He: Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine; it was just a misunderstanding.]

Left with no other option, Xiao He could only post a message on his WeChat Moments explaining his situation.

Soon, acquaintances from the comments section arrived at the scene.

Pu Rong: Brother, you scared me to death! I thought I'd never see you again.
