Who exactly are you?
Just as Xiao He asked the question, the door to the room diagonally opposite suddenly opened.
Their production producer, Ma Qianyou, came out from inside.
Upon seeing the masked man with a knife in the hallway and Xiao He standing warily at the door, the middle-aged man in a bathrobe, still looking sleepy, paused for a moment, then let out a scream even more piercing than a woman's agonizing cry—
"Holy crap! Aaaaaah—murder—!"
The scream was so loud it shook the entire corridor, but the hotel's soundproofing blocked it out. The other rooms were as quiet as chickens, no one came out to respond, and no hotel staff were around. In the corridor, there were still only Xiao He, the masked man, and Ma Qianyou staring at each other, and the atmosphere in the air was extremely awkward.
The man, not wanting to attract attention, gave Xiao He a deep look, clutched his chest, and turned to run towards the other end of the corridor.
"stop!"
Without hesitation, Xiao He gave chase, while Ma Qianyou felt a chill run down his spine and shouted from behind, "Don't chase! Don't chase! Protect yourself first! Watch out for his knife! I'm calling the police right away!"
Just as he turned a corner in the corridor, the person who was just in front of him vanished into thin air.
Xiao He stopped in his tracks.
How could that be...
His gaze swept over the elevator he had just passed, but he didn't see it move at all—it must have been that no one had used the elevator since Sister Liu went up, and it was still stuck on the ninth floor where Sister Liu was.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
Ma Qianyou rushed over, panting heavily, and checked Xiao He's condition: "Are you alright?"
This is the sixth actor they've replaced in their production! If something goes wrong again, Ma Qianyou really might want to find a temple to pray to.
Xiao He, of course, was unaware of Ma Qianyou's complex inner thoughts. He rubbed his slightly aching hand joints and shook his head at Ma Qianyou: "I'm fine. Did you call the police?"
"They'll be here soon."
"good."
So Xiao He stood guard in the corridor, observing the rooms on both sides of the corridor, waiting for the police to arrive.
At the same time, Ma Qianyou made a phone call to contact the relevant person in charge of the hotel.
The first to arrive were the hotel manager and Xiao He's agent, Liu Rulan.
Liu Rulan hadn't expected such a terrible incident to happen while she was away, so she quickly pulled Xiao He up and down to look him over.
After hearing Ma Qianyou's explanation, the manager turned pale and could only apologize to Xiao He repeatedly, asking about Xiao He's injuries.
"Where are your surveillance cameras? Where did that person go? Is he still in the hotel? You need to give me an explanation for all of this!" Liu Rulan said coldly.
The manager suddenly remembered something, his face turned even paler, and he stammered, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Ma, Ms. Liu, our hotel's surveillance system suddenly malfunctioned today, and the relevant technicians are working urgently to fix it. I... we might not be able to provide the surveillance footage?"
"What?"
Ma Qianyou raised his voice: "You think you can just say no? How can it be such a coincidence? You wouldn't happen to be in cahoots with that hater, would you?"
Because of the online controversy surrounding Xiao He today, everyone believes that he was attacked by some extreme fan, and Xiao He has not refuted this misunderstanding.
Faced with Ma Qianyou's questioning, the manager was almost in tears, and said tremblingly, "It's true, just over an hour ago, our surveillance cameras started flashing with static, and we're repairing them."
Everyone's expressions were very unpleasant.
This shows that this incident was not an accident, but rather a carefully planned event...
Soon, the police arrived at the scene, and it was Officer Zhang and Officer Li again.
After hearing about the situation at the scene, Officer Zhang immediately inquired about the other party's appearance and general characteristics.
"Hmm, the other person was about 1.78 meters tall, thin, wearing a black hat and mask, and had a long scar on his hand..."
