Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 997: No, Xiao He, you’re really not a villain?!

"I am Wei Dong, head of the special investigation team of the Internal Investigation Division of the Police Department."

On the big screen, a young police officer raised his badge and casually glanced at the crowd. His gaze was scrutinizing with a hint of amusement and provocation, and his tone was unusually serious.

Behind him stood another group of investigation team members.

The two sides confronted each other in the silent hall, and the silent sense of oppression extended from inside the frame to outside.

Even the audience couldn't help but hold their breath.

"From this moment forward, we will take over all the files of your Major Crimes Unit. All of you here, please suspend your work and remain on standby."

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had sensed a hint of hostility. His hawk-like gaze instantly locked onto the middle-aged police officer who had just come out of the office and was now standing at the door.

The old man and the young man stared at each other across the distance. One was a seasoned veteran of the police station, a shrewd and worldly-wise old officer, while the other was a prickly, unscrupulous, ambitious newcomer eager to make a name for himself.

In reality, one is a well-known veteran actor who has already won awards at home and abroad, while the other is a spirited newcomer actor who recently won the Best Actor award.

At that moment, someone should have been at a disadvantage—perhaps the newcomer forged ahead with unwavering determination, while the veteran retired in melancholy; or perhaps the veteran remained as radiant as ever, while the newcomer suffered defeat after defeat...

In such situations, the younger person usually loses the upper hand first.

But it didn't happen.

Tong Junhui sat in front of the big screen, looking up at the young man.

Most of his face was shrouded in the shadows of the theater, yet illuminated by the light from the large screen in front of him. This interplay of light and shadow made his gaze appear exceptionally focused, and revealed some other inexplicable emotions within it.

However, no one could see it.

Even under these circumstances, Xiao He and veteran actors like Du Yuebin held their own in their acting duels.

The young police officer standing in the lobby, despite the silent pressure from his senior, remained calm and composed, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly. Only his eyes held a sharp and cold glint, like a sword ready to be drawn at any moment, unafraid of the lingering power of his predecessors, determined to turn the situation upside down.

"Officer Liu, please forgive us for not giving prior notice. Do you have any further questions?"

The senior colleague being stared at seemed to sense the threat posed by the other party. His already narrow, squinting eyes momentarily twitched downwards, but he quickly regained his composure and calmly nodded slightly: "Team Leader Wei, please—"

-

Zhou Junhao, sitting next to Tong Junhui, gasped softly and whispered in Tong Junhui's ear, "Every time I see Brother Xiao's acting on the big screen, I get goosebumps."

"That's outrageous!"

As he said this, he couldn't help but steer the conversation to another matter: "Recently, there are actually a group of people on the internet who have the nerve to say that Brother Xiao only knows how to act cool and aloof in 'Time and Space Standoff,' and has no acting skills at all. Every time I see comments like these, I can't help but laugh."

What kind of expressions can a robot have? Its face is made of a metal shell, why don't you let Mech 0010 show a smile too?

Laugh! Laugh! Why don't you laugh?!

Okay, okay, so all machines are using passive-aggressive tactics against humans, huh!

I should have equipped all future robots with electronic screens. Otherwise, their cold, metallic faces are so unpleasant to look at. This kind of pretentious behavior should have been stopped beforehand! From now on, whether it's a mecha or a robot, they should all be able to perform before leaving the factory. The first rule should be: no cold faces towards humans, or else a bad review! A must-give a bad review!

—In fact, when the person on the other side of the comment section suddenly starts discussing with you a purely modified robot that has no human emotions and can only put on a sour face, you should know that not all arguments in this world should have a conclusion.

Instead of wasting time like this, you might as well wash up and go to sleep.

To nitpick Xiao He's acting in a work like "Time Confrontation" would truly feel like there's no point in arguing.

But thankfully, thankfully!

In the film "Blackbird", Xiao Ge's acting skills once again exploded!

Damn it! Why wasn't this movie promoted beforehand?! It just suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

More people should see that Brother Xiao's acting skills are on par with other award-winning actors!

"Brother Xiao is truly the best actor I have ever worked with."

Zhou Junhao casually boasted, but in reality, he didn't know many actors at all.

But then he suddenly paused, remembering that there was another very talented actor beside him—

His gaze immediately darted to the side, and sure enough, he saw that Brother Tong was looking up at the screen, his other hand seemingly supporting his chin or stroking his cheek. The scar at the corner of his eye was faintly visible in the light of the big screen, and it even reflected light, like an indelible tear stain.

Even while watching a movie, even when it was dark around him, he did not take off his mask.

At that moment, only Zhou Junhao saw the longing and envy surging in his eyes, as well as a trace of barely perceptible loneliness.

Seemingly sensing Zhou Junhao's hesitation, Tong Junhui turned to look at him. At that moment, the light on the big screen flickered slightly, so when Zhou Junhao looked directly at Tong Junhui, Tong Junhui's expression was completely normal, without any extra emotions, and even carried a touch of just the right amount of concern: "What's wrong?"

It was as if Zhou Junhao's earlier dejection was just a figment of his imagination.

But he's a journalist!

A reporter who excels at capturing the most crucial moments!

But Zhou Junhao didn't ask anything. He just shook his head silently and then turned his head back.

On the big screen, the plot continues as normal.

...

In fact, as the storyline unfolds, Zhou Junhao can roughly guess most of the plot.

After all, the plot is still very old-fashioned: catch the mole, succeed in the end, and the story ends.

But the final twist still shocked him.

Even after they left the theater and the cinema, Zhou Junhao was still belatedly realizing, "So Brother Xiao really didn't play a villain this time?!"

"ah?"

Who can understand the shock he felt when he was there and saw Ming Lang Wei Dong, who had already been thrown out, appear on the ship?

At this point, Wei Dong should have been taken away for investigation. No one expected that he would appear behind the real mole the next moment, raising his gun to protect the protagonist while also clearly standing by the protagonist's side—it turns out that this kid was also acting at the beginning, and he was there to investigate the mole!

This guy was cooperating with the protagonist from beginning to end, misleading the mole.

Clearly, not only was the mole fooled in the end, but even the audience was fooled.

Especially when the young police officer who rescued the protagonist from the edge of the sea under the setting sun once again showed that kind of half-smile, victorious expression like a major villain, the audience was momentarily confused, thinking that this was another whitewashing trap set by Wei Dong.

—But unexpectedly, the plot then began to flash back, detailing the protagonists' plan.

In other words, Wei Dong is a really good guy.

ah?

Wait a minute, so Xiao He is really a good person?!

That's not right!

Nine out of ten points are wrong, and the remaining one is unbelievable.

—Whose smile is like that?

Xiao He, look at yourself, aren't you cunning? Don't you look like a villain?

The crew of "Blackbird" – do you know that sometimes when you're not actually making fun of me, you're actually making fun of me?!
