Shortly after Xiao He and the others left the ward, Zhou Junhao's sister also returned from downstairs after completing her discharge procedures.
"Did someone else just come?"
The beautiful and gentle woman bent down and put the completed formalities into her handbag at the foot of the bed. She was somewhat surprised to see a pile of gift bags neatly arranged on the floor.
People who came to visit before brought a lot of things, but since they were preparing to be discharged from the hospital, they had already moved many things to their car to take with them all at once. However, they did not expect that there would be many more things on the ground after they went out for a short while.
"Yes, they are the director and producer from my previous film crew. It's probably because of the recent press release. They want me to help improve their public image and reputation in future reports," Zhou Junhao explained.
Zhou Junhao's older sister, Zhou Junxue, frowned.
“Since their motives are impure, you shouldn’t have let them in, much less accepted their gifts.”
Zhou Junhao was immediately embarrassed: "I couldn't stop her, sis."
Actually, I was a little excited because I saw Brother Xiao, so I didn't think too much about it and just let the group of people in.
Zhou Junxue carefully checked the contents of the gift bags to make sure there was nothing that shouldn't be there before finally letting out a sigh of relief: "Luckily, they know what they're doing. I'll have your brother-in-law go down there again in a bit and have him take these things down with him."
"Okay, thank you, sis."
Soon, a tall, imposing man with a dignified expression walked into the ward.
Seeing the pile of gifts on the ground, his expression showed a hint of surprise, and his hawk-like gaze suddenly fell on Zhou Junhao: "Did an acquaintance just come over?"
Since Zhou Junhao fell ill, people have been coming to visit him in droves. Some came because Zhou Junhao had exposed the hotel's secrets and wanted to find out more and profit from it; others knew about Zhou Junhao's family background and wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to him; and finally, there were some relatives and friends that Zhou Junhao knew and was close to.
As a junior member of a family with a rather unique background, Zhou Junhao generally doesn't accept gifts casually, unless they are from trusted acquaintances.
Zhou Junhao nodded, showing no sign of surprise at his brother-in-law's subtle probing. Instead, he said with some delight, "Yes, he's a friend I met when I was undercover in the film crew. I didn't expect that my work would also help him land a small role. I believe he can definitely use this opportunity to move forward step by step and let more people see him."
It's a bit of a pity, though. He was so focused on Brother Xiao's matter that he didn't have a chance to say more to Wang Yi. Overall, it was Wang Yi who saved his life by calling the police in time!
Thinking this, Zhou Junhao showed a hint of regret.
Upon hearing Zhou Junhao's words, Yan Zhengbai glanced silently at his brother-in-law, his sharp eyebrows unconsciously rising slightly, exuding an imposing aura.
This brother-in-law is the youngest son of my parents-in-law. He has a lively personality and is quite intelligent. He is indeed good at gathering information, but he is a bit too idealistic and heroic. He likes to take risks and lacks a sense of proportion.
Although Yan Zhengbo did not get too involved in the investigation of the case after the person was rescued, he carefully studied the relevant records and testimonies.
He always felt that his brother-in-law hadn't given the police any clean information, but some details did somehow match up.
"Why did they take so long to arrive? You were already preparing to be discharged."
Yan Zhengbai asked.
“Ah, that film crew has been quite unlucky, with many incidents happening. They’ve been rushing to meet deadlines and keeping a low profile, not daring to come over when things are in the spotlight,” Zhou Junhao said. “So this dragged on until I was discharged from the hospital.”
"Bad luck?"
