Many people were curious about why these individuals were so adamant in their stance, and they rushed to Bilibili to check the situation.

It turned out that a content creator from Bilibili’s food section had posted a video about spending New Year’s Eve with Xiao He and rescuing people from the fire scene.

Just as the content creator in the video was worrying about the child’s situation, the camera shifted to show the young man beside him already climbing over the railing without hesitation, leaping with an extremely “crazy” posture to scale the building’s exterior.

At that moment, the barrage comments that had been full of insults were instantly filled with genuine screams from bystanders.

Any normal person would feel respect and admiration seeing such a Spider-Man-like handsome scene of someone clinging to the building’s outer wall—Spider-Man has superpowers, actors have wire work, but Xiao He actually climbed out there barehanded!

Moreover, unlike the videos previously circulating online, this content creator’s video provided an intuitive close-up shooting perspective where you could clearly see the distant ground below, to the point where looking too long would make you dizzy.

Just based on this scene, netizens who had been misled by public opinion instantly woke up.

Was Xiao He really someone with despicable character who would intentionally assault colleagues out of jealousy during filming?

To put it bluntly, given this guy’s arm strength from climbing buildings, if he really wanted to beat Su Shengxi on set, given Su Shengxi’s slight physique, they’d probably need to call an ambulance immediately.

How absurd is that?

Seeing a brave, life-saving good person facing such massive cyberbullying just because of some fans’ malicious speculation, these awakened netizens became extraordinarily angry, their rebellious spirit ignited.

This led to the current war of words between bystanders and fans.

[I’ll just say one thing: Su Shengxi, Chen Yulin, and that Tian Heng are all complete assholes. Who supports this? Who opposes?]

[Su Shengxi gets the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, Chen Yulin gets the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, Tian Heng gets the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.]

[Before seeing the bullying hot search, I thought it would be some bloody scene, but you’re telling me it’s just a filming set? Go home, just go home kid. If you’re not using your brain, please give it to someone who needs it, okay?]

[Chen Yulin, what are you doing? What does this have to do with you? Did you have to come here asking to be cursed?]

Bystanders ultimately outnumber fans, and now many fans themselves don’t dare to speak up, so the one-sided situation instantly reversed.

Watching the online situation, Liu Rulan finally put away her phone with satisfaction.

“That content creator on Bilibili—is he your friend?”

She asked Xiao He.

Xiao He nodded: “Yes, he was my college dormmate.”

He Junhao’s account was still newly developing, and posting this would definitely draw attacks from Su Shengxi’s fans, but he was still willing to take the risk to help Xiao He, which deeply moved Xiao He.

Of course, according to He Junhao’s words, black fame is still fame—if he didn’t seize this big opportunity now, when would he?

Xiao He really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“That person seems decent,” Liu Rulan said. “Don’t forget to thank Officer Zhang and Officer Li for their help with this matter too.”

Xiao He: “Naturally.”

Back when Su Shengxi’s fans kept @-ing several official Shanghai accounts, the relevant official publicity officers had already noticed the situation and immediately contacted the police station in the corresponding jurisdiction—which happened to be Officer Zhang and Officer Li’s precinct.

Since both officers were somewhat familiar with Xiao He, they took direct charge of this matter.

Their investigation moved quickly—they directly contacted the production team for the filming footage and surveillance videos from that time, and called in colleagues from cyber surveillance to investigate this cyberbullying case.

Meanwhile, to curb the increasingly unhealthy online atmosphere, after confirming Xiao He’s innocence, Officer Zhang contacted Officer Yan, the person in charge of the jurisdiction where Xiao He had rescued people from the fire, and together they posted statements vouching for Xiao He.

After all, Xiao He had genuinely received several certificates for courageous acts—his actions in saving people and helping police solve cases were undeniable, and in such situations, the police definitely needed to take a stance.

“That’s enough for today,” Liu Rulan said, picking up her suit jacket from nearby. “Get some proper rest. When you go to the set tomorrow, there’ll be quite a show to watch.”

“Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sister Liu.”

“No problem.”

Liu Rulan opened the door and returned to the hotel corridor.

Since Liu Rulan had originally followed Su Shengxi into the production, her room wasn’t on the same floor as Xiao He’s. Xiao He was currently on the seventh floor while she was on the ninth.

She needed to take the elevator upstairs.

Just as she reached the elevator bank, an elevator arrived at her floor.

A man wearing a mask and hat stepped out of the elevator, and Liu Rulan brushed past him as she entered the elevator and pressed the button for the ninth floor.

But what she didn’t know was that the masked and hatted man went straight to Xiao He’s room.

“Knock knock.”

He rapped on Xiao He’s door.

Inside the room, Xiao He was just preparing to take his pajamas and head to the shower when he heard the knocking. Thinking Liu Rulan might have forgotten something, he went to open the door without any precautions.

As soon as he opened the door, he met those gloomy eyes.

Both unfamiliar and familiar.

Unfamiliar were the eyes, familiar was the bloody scent of a kindred spirit!

Alarm bells rang loudly in Xiao He’s mind, but he only frowned on the surface: “Who are you? Wrong room—”

As he spoke, he tried to close the door.

“Bang—”

But the door was stopped by the other’s raised hand.

It was a hand covered with ferocious scars, still showing fresh flesh and oozing pus and blood. With his Bone-Cleaving Knife Technique skill, Xiao He instantly recognized the tool that caused such wounds—a butcher’s knife!

In that moment, Xiao He vaguely guessed the other’s identity.

Xiao He felt extremely grateful for his golden finger—the big heart that kept him from being too shocked and maintained his calm expression.

“Who are you? Some kind of anti-fan? Get lost now! Believe me, I’ll call for help—”

While talking tough, Xiao He frantically tapped away at his system interface.

This visitor meant trouble! He needed to quickly get some skills! See if there was anything to save his life!

[Congratulations on obtaining “Lifespan +30 days,” automatically exchanged]

[Congratulations on obtaining “Lifespan +7 days,” automatically exchanged]

…

Before he could check the lottery results popping up on his system panel, a gleaming small knife came stabbing straight toward Xiao He.

Xiao He suddenly felt his body become light, then he twisted and dodged at an extremely tricky angle, avoiding the small knife.

However, since they were still at a dangerous distance of about half an arm’s length, Xiao He chose to counterattack, swinging his hand toward the man’s face.

“Bang—”

Xiao He’s punch followed no particular technique but was delivered with full force, making the man stagger backward from the blow.

Immediately after, Xiao He raised his leg and delivered a powerful kick straight to the opponent’s chest. With the crisp sound of cracking bones from the chest area, the man was sent flying into the corridor behind him.

“Ah—”

The man hadn’t expected Xiao He’s attacks to be so unconventional. Leaning against the corridor wall behind him, he clutched his chest in pain, gasping for breath.
