Xiao He unexpectedly gained a criminal cheat skill that allows him to learn all kinds of crime-related abilities.
—But the catch is, he has to keep “stabbing people” to stay alive.
<...Xiao He sat down, calmly meeting the other person's gaze, his hands resting naturally on his lap, and asked in a calm tone, "Who are you? What does this note mean?"
The note was very simple, containing only one English word—"Hacker".
That is, hacker.
Xiao He was quite surprised that this guy had finally discovered his identity.
But now that I think about it, it doesn't seem that difficult for the other party to notice his presence, after all, he's used this guy several times already...
"Brother Xiao, hello. I mean no harm. This is actually the first time we've met."
Even though he was dressed in dirty ancient costume, the young man, whose youthful vigor was still evident, smiled and extended his hand: "My name is Zhou Junhao, and I am a journalist. You may already know me, but please allow me to formally introduce myself to you."
Xiao He looked at the person in front of him and extended his hand with mixed feelings: "Hello, I am Xiao He."
To be honest, Zhou Junhao was originally just a tool that Xiao He used casually.
When "Fearless Journey" broke the news a long time ago, he randomly picked this guy from among the vast media, simply because he felt that the media he worked for had a certain influence. He himself had an excellent performance in school and was just starting out in the industry, so he probably still had a passion for journalism and insisted on basic journalistic ethics.
Later, he found this person to be truly useful and extremely meticulous. Unlike other journalists who simply chase after a trending topic and then immediately shift their focus to another, this person persisted in reporting on the matter even after the initial hype had died down, continuing until the issue was completely resolved.
For example, Zhou Junhao diligently followed and reported on the aftermath of "Fearless Journey," including the arrest of the program's director, the indefinite rectification of the program, and the situation of the related victims.
For example, when the car accident later led to the sale of counterfeit drugs, Zhou Junhao continued to report on it. He also paid attention to the current situation of the driver and several victims, and closely supervised the donations led by Linghui Studio to ensure that the funds were actually distributed to those in need.
For these reasons, when Xiao He learned about Qin Lezhang's dirty secrets, he immediately thought of him.
This kid is quite capable. Just look at how he bought his own stuff to infiltrate the fake medicine group, fabricated sales figures, and successfully infiltrated the "top sales group." You can tell he's a ruthless guy.
Xiao He felt more at ease letting Zhou Junhao investigate this matter.
Unexpectedly, this guy, while digging, inexplicably ended up on their film set and dug him out along with him.
Xiao He was both amused and exasperated.
"Don't worry, you're not my main target here, and I will absolutely not tell anyone about your affairs!"
Zhou Junhao immediately assured him, then rubbed his fingers somewhat embarrassedly and said in a low voice, "I just admire you a little; you're so capable of uncovering so much about them..."
In fact, it wouldn't be difficult for Zhou Junhao to uncover Xiao He, since he had received help and hints from hackers in all the cases he had gotten involved in, and Xiao He's figure would coincidentally appear in all of these events.
Once, Xiao He happened to save someone; another time, Xiao He was also involved in a car accident; and yet another time, Xiao He was "blacklisted" by Qin Lezhang...
Others might not have noticed, but it's quite normal for Zhou Junhao, who had received multiple secret emails from the "hacker," to have discovered Xiao He. Moreover, the fact that he was able to use the simple clues Xiao He provided to uncover more information is enough to show that he's not simple-minded.
"Just tell me why you're looking for me."
Now that things were out in the open, Xiao He stopped pretending and nodded, but without verbally admitting it. Instead, he asked, "Did you suddenly contact me because of what happened on set earlier? Or are you investigating something and need my help?"
"It's still about Qin Lezhang."
Zhou Junhao explained earnestly.
“When I interviewed the victim’s family, I unexpectedly learned about other things, so I followed the clues to find Wang Shaoqi. But coincidentally, Wang Shaoqi was arrested for gathering a group of people in the crew of ‘Cangyue Jie’, and the clues on his side were cut off. I was really unwilling to give up, so I wanted to sneak in to see what was going on and talk to some people in the crew to see if I could find another clue.”
"Anything else?"
Xiao He was genuinely surprised this time.
