Shortly after Xiao He and the others left the hospital room, Zhou Junhao’s sister, who had just finished the discharge procedures, returned from downstairs.

“Did someone else just come?”

The beautiful and gentle woman bent down, placing the completed discharge documents into the handbag at the foot of the bed. Seeing the neatly arranged pile of gift bags on the floor, she looked somewhat surprised.

The previous visitors had also brought many things, but since they were preparing to be discharged, they had already moved a lot of the items to the car, planning to take everything in one go. Unexpectedly, after being out for just a short while, the floor was filled with many more things.

“Yes, it was the director and producer from that drama crew I was with before. Most likely because of the recent news reports, they want me to help improve their public reputation and perception in my upcoming coverage,” Zhou Junhao explained.

Zhou Junhao’s sister, Zhou Junxue, frowned.

“Since their intentions aren’t pure, you shouldn’t have let them in, and you definitely shouldn’t have accepted their gifts.”

Zhou Junhao immediately felt a bit awkward. “I couldn’t stop them, Sis.”

Actually, it was because he saw his Brother Xiao, which made him a little excited, so he didn’t think too much and just let the whole group in.

Zhou Junxue carefully checked the contents of each gift bag, ensuring nothing inappropriate was hidden inside, before finally sighing in relief. “Fortunately, they knew their limits. I’ll have your brother-in-law make another trip later to take these things downstairs.”

“Okay, thanks, Sis.”

Soon, a tall, imposing, and burly man with a stern face entered the hospital room.

Seeing the pile of gifts on the floor, his expression also showed a hint of surprise. His hawk-like gaze instantly fell on Zhou Junhao. “Did an acquaintance just visit?”

Since Zhou Junhao fell ill, visitors had been streaming in continuously. Some came because Zhou Junhao had exposed the hotel’s secrets, hoping to gather information and gain benefits. Others knew about Zhou Junhao’s family background and wanted to use this opportunity to get closer. Finally, there were the relatives and friends Zhou Junhao actually knew and was close to.

As a younger generation member with a somewhat special family background, Zhou Junhao generally wouldn’t casually accept gifts unless they were from trusted acquaintances.

Zhou Junhao nodded. Facing his brother-in-law’s subtle probing, he showed no signs of abnormality. Instead, he said somewhat happily, “Yes, a friend I met while undercover in the crew. I didn’t expect that this incident of mine incidentally helped him land a small role. I believe he can definitely use this opportunity to step forward and let more people see him.”

It’s just a bit of a pity. Earlier, he was completely focused on matters concerning Brother Xiao and didn’t have time to talk more with Wang Yi. Overall, it was Wang Yi who timely called the police and saved his life!

Thinking this, Zhou Junhao showed a hint of regret.

Hearing Zhou Junhao’s words, Yan Zhengbei silently looked at his young brother-in-law. His sharp eyebrows unconsciously raised slightly, carrying an imposing aura of authority even without anger.

This brother-in-law was his in-laws’ child born late in their lives. His personality was quite lively, and his mind was sharp. He was indeed skilled at gathering information, but he was a bit too idealistic and heroic, prone to taking risks and lacking a sense of boundaries.

After rescuing him this time, although Yan Zhengbei hadn’t overly interfered in the investigation of the case, he had carefully followed and studied the related statements and testimonies.

He always felt that his young brother-in-law hadn’t revealed everything to the police, yet certain details could barely be pieced together.

“Why did they come so late? You’re already preparing to be discharged.”

Yan Zhengbei asked.

“Ah, that crew has been quite unlucky, many incidents have happened. They’ve been rushing to catch up on the schedule this whole time, keeping a very low profile, not daring to come during the peak of the controversy,” Zhou Junhao said. “So it dragged on until my discharge.”

“Unlucky?”

“Can’t exactly call it unlucky either…” Zhou Junhao recalled his time in the crew, having heard plenty of gossip and inside stories from all sides. He shrugged somewhat helplessly. “It’s their own constant misjudgment of people, their own messes. The people they hired were each worse than the last.”

In the end, it was still their own problem.

“This area indeed needs rectification.”

Yan Zhengbei nodded.

Behind the hotel hidden camera incident was a black industry chain very worthy of deep investigation. Although these more detailed inside stories wouldn’t be publicly disclosed by the police, leveraging this incident, their public security department had already begun seizing the opportunity for internal rectification and strengthening control. However, such actions would inevitably take time to show results.

“Alright, stop being suspicious of this and that all day, always wearing such a fierce face.”

Zhou Junxue nudged her husband’s arm with her elbow, speaking quite displeased. “Xiao Hao has already been lying in the hospital for almost a month. It’s time to go home. If you keep dawdling, Mom and Dad will start getting anxious!”

Yan Zhengbei immediately said nothing more. Silently, he walked over, bent down, and began moving the items.

…

Xiao He had no idea such things happened in the hospital room after they left. After returning to the Record of Chasing the Wind production team, he continued filming the remaining unfinished content. During this period, no other incidents occurred.

Unconsciously, time had already reached the end of November.

In the blink of an eye, the last month of the year was about to arrive.

Apart from the filming of Record of Chasing the Wind, the year-end celebrations and annual summary conferences of various platforms also began inviting Xiao He one after another.

Xiao He’s output this year wasn’t particularly high, but one Law of the Jungle was enough to give Xiao He a brilliant achievement by the end of this year.

And the long-silent Corner Also finally had new developments. The official blog officially began promotion. The first season of Corner Also was scheduled to air on January 1st of next year, New Year’s Day.

As a web drama gathering handsome men and beautiful women, directed by the comic artist himself, its presentation was still quite substantial. It started with a powerful move right away, releasing the official trailer version, directly propelling the name Corner Also onto the Hot Search through its faithful production.

By the time Xiao He reposted the announcement, discussions related to Corner Also were already in full swing, with the comment section filled with everyone’s screams.

[Ahhhh, I finally waited for you! Good thing I didn’t give up!]

[Wishing Corner Also a huge hit! Looking forward to our Sitong’s performance!]

[Ah, a live-action version of Corner Also is out? When did this happen? I’m so shocked.]

[Wow, the person above, the casting for Corner Also was on Hot Search before! Jiao Dai personally stepped in as director. Although the casting isn’t a perfect fit, each actor has extremely high looks, especially Guo Xinya playing the female lead. She’s the comic’s real-life prototype! Jiao Dai got to happily fanboy on set, and even this kid was struck by her beauty.]

[Watching this trailer, it feels very high-quality! Doesn’t have that cheap, shoddy feel of many web dramas, and Director Jiao Dai’s camera language is pretty good. It looks quite comfortable.]

[As an original work fan, I was quite worried at first, but after seeing this live-action trailer, I suddenly have confidence again.]

[Yeah, I was actually quite worried about Xiao He. Didn’t expect this kid to have a knack for playing the sweet, puppy-like character. Hearing him call ‘sister’ is so satisfying.]

[Hahaha, Brother Xiao: Tragically loses his age, I’m only 18~~~]
