"You have truly wronged me."
Liu Rulan readily accepted Tong Junhui's apology.
Xiao He stood at the door and glanced around. After confirming Tong Junhui's situation, he turned around and waited at the door, giving Liu Rulan and Tong Junhui some space to chat.
There was a police officer standing at the door, so Xiao He decided to chat with him.
The officer clearly recognized Xiao He and said, "I'm a police officer from the Haibin District. Team Leader Zhang once mentioned you to me."
Xiao He immediately thought of Officer Zhang and Officer Li.
When he first entered the industry, he was almost mistaken for a real murderer. The officers who came were Officer Zhang and Officer Li, a mentor-apprentice duo. He encountered them a few more times later because of cases, but he has been too busy lately, flying back and forth between different cities, and hasn't seen them for a long time.
He nodded and said, "Oh, how's Officer Zhang doing lately? Has Officer Li been promoted to a regular officer position?"
He remembered that Officer Li was a rookie at the time and had to follow his mentor, Officer Zhang, when going on duty. Now, more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Officer Li should have officially become a full-fledged officer by now.
"Yes, Officer Li can now lead a team on independent missions."
"That's what the police officer at the door replied."
Xiao He was somewhat moved.
Time flies...
With someone he knew as a common topic of conversation, it wasn't abrupt for Xiao He to ask about Tong Junhui. He leaned closer to the police officer and tentatively whispered, "What's going on with Tong Junhui's crew? I saw it's causing quite a stir online, saying that the entire crew has disappeared."
The officer glanced at Xiao He, his mouth tight, and his answer was similar to what Liu Rulan knew: "They are involved in an important case and are currently very safe. As for the situation online, we don't know anything about it, but the General Administration should issue a relevant announcement to clarify it soon."
Xiao He frowned, having formed a rough guess in his mind.
Tonight should be the end for the police.
This operation wasn't just a crackdown on the film crew here, but also involved operations in Hong Kong and against overseas drug trafficking groups or forces.
Xiao He clicked his tongue inwardly.
Has this scheme, which lasted for almost a year, finally come to fruition today...?
Xiao He chatted with the police officer for a few more minutes. The officer was very cautious about the case and didn't reveal much, but Xiao He didn't mind. After greeting him, he sat down to wait.
Of course, Xiao He wasn't idle either. He took out his phone and continued searching for information online.
The situation was urgent earlier, and Xiao He didn't have time to catch up on all the details of the gossip. Now that he has some time, he has finally managed to find out about the trending topic of "Silent Search" online.
This story is actually quite dramatic.
Yesterday, the release of "The Silent Search" drew widespread ridicule from viewers. Feng Zhengyang and Dong Zeng were already planning to abscond, so naturally they couldn't afford to hire online trolls to suppress the news. As a result, news of "The Silent Search" being a terrible film spread like wildfire. Investors who were deceived by Feng Zhengyang and Dong Zeng only realized they might have been ripped off after seeing the online reviews.
Even several theater chains that had worked closely with the "Silent Search" production team found that their screening schedule was very likely to be canceled!
As the situation spiraled out of control, the deceived parties tried to contact Feng Zhengyang and Dong Zeng, but all of them were blocked and unable to reach them.
Even when we contacted the publicity staff, they knew nothing about it. In fact, a large portion of them were outsourced teams hired by the "Silent Search" production team!
Now that the contract has expired, these outsourced workers will naturally no longer be responsible for the promotion of "Silent Search".
As for the publicity director who had been in charge of liaising with them... he also went missing along with Feng Zhengyang.
