Before, it was either transnational counterfeit drug gangs or news about chain hotels colluding with insiders in the domestic entertainment industry for illegal activities—all major cases that could stay on trending lists for a long time if investigated thoroughly. But few people would care about some place cracking a case of stolen electric scooters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was no other choice. Going out on assignments was better than staying at the company. Zhou Junhao himself was someone who couldn't stay idle, thinking any news he could capture was better than none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected to encounter Xiao He at a police arrest scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both fell silent, then looked at each other speechlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Zhou Junhao assured: \"Brother Xiao, don't worry, I've already deleted the photos, and I definitely won't mention you in any subsequent news reports.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He nodded, not particularly worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Junhao also knew his methods. Even if Zhou Junhao wanted to post some unfavorable photos of him, Xiao He could ensure Zhou Junhao wouldn't be able to post anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Brother Xiao, why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Junhao was somewhat curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had come with the police, so why was Xiao He here too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This entire area was outside Shanghai's outer ring road, basically all old, small, and dilapidated properties. Even the subway didn't reach here. Those living in this area were workers under such immense life pressure that they had no choice but to commute for hours by bike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Junhao really couldn't understand why Xiao He, who could perfectly well live in the city center, would suddenly come here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And dressed so...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Junhao looked Xiao He up and down in his all-black outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—So \"suspicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He: ...Really couldn't explain the bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just found out I have a property here, so I came to check it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He pretended to say with detached calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Junhao's expression turned slightly strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buying property here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around, trying to understand the property value here, but couldn't find any value or meaning in buying here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Junhao could only awkwardly laugh: \"Haha, Brother Xiao really has unique taste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He: \"Hehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now understood—when people really don't know how to compliment something, they just say it's unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, fine, Chinese people really are that indirect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeming to sense Xiao He didn't want to discuss this further, Zhou Junhao felt too embarrassed to say more. He just carefully looked around, then curiously leaned close to Xiao He's ear and whispered: \"Brother Xiao, considering our revolutionary friendship through so many incidents, do you have any explosive news recently that I could dig into?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhou Junhao's words, Xiao He immediately frowned: \"Didn't last time teach you a lesson?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xiao He hadn't arrived in time, this guy would have almost died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most likely in a way where the body would have been disposed of, making it difficult for police to even find the complete remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after something like that happened, Xiao He originally thought this guy would value his life more after narrowly escaping death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But wow, he immediately forgot the pain once the wound healed, eagerly coming to him for information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He didn't know what to say about this guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn't Zhou Junhao's elder, so saying too much probably wouldn't help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Xiao He seriously thought about recent events, and something actually flashed through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking at the person before him, Xiao He wasn't sure if he should say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind many major social news events, there might be journalists taking great risks to obtain information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid Zhou Junhao was too enthusiastic about taking risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He didn't know if telling Zhou Junhao too much and letting him investigate would actually harm him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what happened at the hotel last time was still vividly memorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During Xiao He's prolonged silence, Zhou Junhao smelled the scent of a major case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, his eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed! Brother Xiao is truly Brother Xiao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every case related to Brother Xiao has never been small!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Junhao firmly believed that following the information Xiao He provided, he could definitely dig up another sensational major news story!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today's follow-up assignment was totally worth it. Being able to encounter Brother Xiao again must mean his efforts moved the goddess of fortune~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, what a perfect day~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Junhao immediately raised his hand, swearing to heaven: \"Brother Xiao, just tell me! Don't worry, say whatever! I definitely won't go around talking! Please, tell me—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Zhou Junhao was speaking, the fat man covering his head over there seemed to remember something. He suddenly stood up and said to Police Officer Zheng and the others: \"Um, if I report something, can I get a reduced sentence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words instantly attracted everyone's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone gathered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My neighbor, no, his neighbor—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat man pointed at Xiao He, \"That livestreamer in room 402 next to him, pretending to be a female streamer to scam money, even arranged several sugar daddies to meet outside. You can investigate this, I'm definitely not lying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A man pretending to be a woman to scam money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Police Officer Zheng walked up to the fat man, asking carefully: \"Do the viewers in the livestream room know he's male?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the internet so developed now, such deceptive situations are countless. But now there are streamers who explicitly use cross-dressing as a gimmick to attract attention and traffic—fans who know the gender can't exactly call it scamming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they needed to clarify, analyzing specific situations specifically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat man seriously shook his head, urgently explaining: \"Really not! Her livestream at night is especially loud, I can sometimes hear it! He's pretending to be a woman to scam money! Disgusting! If you don't believe me, you can go upstairs and listen now, he should still be streaming! I'm definitely not lying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid the police wouldn't believe him, he looked at Xiao He, trying to find agreement: \"You were next door today, you must have heard it, right?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So everyone looked at Xiao He again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He: \"...I did hear both male and female voices next door, but I don't know the details.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You hear! I'm not lying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat man immediately looked excitedly at the police.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Police Officer Zheng thought for a moment, signaling a few people to follow him to check the situation in the room the fat man mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Junhao also shifted his attention, tightening his grip on his camera, eager to try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao He looked left, then right, thought about that male streamer, hesitated for a moment, then followed the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, the police knocked on the door of room 402.\u003C\u002Fp>",1201,"2026-05-29T18:50:46.243Z","2026-06-01T04:29:59.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","0aa26accae0618279792ba7602267f20f0b2aa9b86e8ec289222e34b27bb108d","brother-dao-took-the-entertainment-industry-by-s-chapter-503","brother-dao-took-the-entertainment-industry-by-s-chapter-501",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbrother-dao-took-the-entertainment-industry-by-s-cover.jpg"]
