Chapter 1006: What did you say?! Xiao He fished out the fragment?!
In the afternoon, some people went fishing in groups, while others gathered together to chat.
"Sigh, don't even mention it, it's all tears when I think about it."
When it comes to their artists, almost all managers start by sighing and complaining with their hands on their hips. If possible, it would be even more appropriate to have a cigarette in their hand as well.
At this moment, in this "tea party" exclusively for agents, all {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} the agents looked bitter and resentful.
Agents are human too.
Sometimes they not only get together to chat, exchange gossip and news, but also complain about their own artists.
Of course, this is on the premise that everyone has a really good relationship, is very familiar with each other, and knows what to say and what not to say.
However, this kind of communication, which is similar to venting one's frustrations, is not necessarily approved by all agents.
For example, right now—
Tang Wenjuan looked at Liu Rulan with a complicated expression. She thought about Xiao He, the artist Liu Rulan was managing, and then about Yuan Sitong, the artist she was managing. For the first time, she felt like she was being driven crazy by comparison.
What are you sighing about?
She rarely showed her mean side, rolling her eyes at Liu Rulan, and her expression really captured the essence of her artist Yuan Sitong's.
I can only say that he is indeed Yuan Sitong's agent.
"Your artists don't need you to worry about them anymore, right? Unlike this one of mine, I have to worry about him all the time."
Whenever Yuan Sitong is mentioned, Tang Wenjuan feels that her edges have been smoothed out by the entertainment industry.
Unfortunately, she couldn't speak to or scold that little devil, so she could only keep using roundabout tactics.
Liu Rulan glanced at her sideways, unusually not retorting, but simply shook her head with a weary expression, her face carrying a profound and unfathomable look: "You wouldn't understand."
Xiao He's difficulty in managing him does not lie in these superficial aspects.
Rather, it's a kind of—well, very difficult to describe directly in words—difficult to bring.
It's a complex feeling that makes people feel very reassured, but in reality, they can't put their minds at ease at all.
These guys would never understand!
Thinking about it this way, she felt even more like sighing.
How painful must it be to have no one truly understand your feelings when you can't even genuinely confide in someone?
"Buzz, buzz—"
During the conversation, Tang Wenjuan's phone started vibrating.
She glanced down at her phone and, unsurprisingly, saw that the contact was her own artist. She sighed helplessly, waved her phone, and said to everyone, "See? My little darling is calling me again—"
She then stood up and answered the phone.
But the next moment, she exclaimed in shock: "What? Xiao He caught a piece of the people while fishing?!"
"Whoosh—"
Instantly, dozens of figures landed on her.
"What? Explain yourself! Hey, hey—"
But then Yuan Sitong hung up the phone.
The scene immediately fell into a deathly silence.
All eyes were drawn, seemingly unintentionally, to Liu Rulan in the very center.
Liu Rulan, however, remained calm, exuding an air of composure that "what's meant to happen will happen eventually."
"Sigh, so you wouldn't understand me."
She stood up gracefully and nodded to everyone: "Then let's go take a look. After all, our agents are here to handle these kinds of things."
Everyone:???
Wait, can you first clarify what you're dealing with?
Which agent is responsible for handling the public outcry caused by their celebrity?!
Huh? Is that right?!
...
Let's rewind a few minutes.
Xiao He squatted by the river, looking at the large suitcase he had fished up, and fell into deep thought.
"That's not right."
He muttered in confusion, "Logically speaking, my script shouldn't follow this pattern."
Today's episode should have been a heartwarming and relaxing everyday scene, maybe with a funny moment where he couldn't catch any fish. How did it suddenly turn into a suspenseful dismemberment case?
Something's not right!
He hasn't encountered something like this in a long time.
Could it be that he hasn't encountered any criminals lately, and life has given him a safety net again?
"Ahhh, Xiao He, what kind of thing did you catch?"
Yuan Sitong was completely distraught and immediately hugged Li Haoxuan, who was equally terrified.
At this moment, what difference between men and women, what dignity of celebrities... there were only two cowards with their minds filled with the mysterious suitcase dismemberment case, huddled together, trembling and seeking warmth from each other.
Even the crew members who came along to fish elsewhere couldn't help but take a step back when they saw this scene.
Suddenly, a semi-circle formed along the riverbank, as if a barrier had been erected, with only Xiao He squatting solemnly in the very center—
Oh wait, there's also Yan Shaohan.
"Wow, this is way more fun than fishing!!"
Yan Shaohan stared at the bulging, heavy suitcase, then looked at Xiao He. His eyes showed no fear as if he had discovered a corpse, only an eagerness to see what Xiao He's amazing physique might be: "What could be inside this suitcase?"
"Although the security around this film studio should be pretty good, it's surrounded by mountains, and the river comes down from the mountains. This suitcase, although large, is very likely to have been washed down from the ravine above."

As expected of someone who draws comics and directs, he has so many ideas. Just by randomly combining them, he can create a suspenseful case that blows your mind.
"Ugh, Yan Shaohan, stop talking!" Yuan Sitong was speechless. "Shouldn't we call the police first?"
"no--"
Xiao He was also speechless. He turned to look at the people around him and said, "I don't think I said that what's in this suitcase is that thing, right? We haven't even opened the suitcase zipper since we fished it up."
"This wasn't caught by us, it was caught by you."
Yuan Sitong clasped her hands together, as if afraid of disturbing anything.
"As for this 'oversized' suitcase in the middle of nowhere, besides... well, I really can't think of anything else to put in it—"
Xiao He: "...First of all, this is not the middle of nowhere."
"Secondly, this shouldn't be that thing either, I didn't smell anything suspicious."
As Xiao He spoke, he reached for the zipper—
Then, some river water suddenly gushed out from the gap in the suitcase, mixed with some—hair?
"Aaaaaah! There's hair! There's hair! Aaaaah!"
Yuan Sitong's sharp, piercing scream, and if you listened carefully, you could even hear that Li Haoxuan was also in the scream. Yan Shaohan, who had been grinning the whole time, finally broke down and quickly stood up and moved a little further away, looking at the thing in front of him with a wary expression.
The next moment—
Everyone stared at the suitcase that Xiao He had completely opened, and fell into silence.
Only Yuan Sitong was still calling out with her eyes closed.
"Alright, alright!"
Yan Shaohan covered his ears, which were ringing from the noise, and stopped her vocal assault: "Go and see for yourself what's in there!"
Yuan Sitong finally realized the quiet atmosphere around her, so she squinted and glanced in that direction.
Then a complicated expression appeared on her face, and at the same time she released Lee Ho-hyun, who was blocking her way.
What is this?
She stared at the mannequin wearing a wig in the suitcase. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. Then she realized that this was the same mannequin prop that many film crews used as stunt doubles during filming.
At that time, many film crews were shooting large-scale scenes, but they didn't have enough extras, so some crews would add more mannequins to the crowd to make them look more realistic and increase the scale of the production.
However, as special effects have matured and AI has become more advanced, these inferior props are no longer as common.
"Alright, case solved. It must have been a prop that a film crew was too lazy to dispose of after filming, so they just put it in a box and threw it into the river."
Xiao He clapped his hands and let out a long sigh.
He was saying, how many cases can a person encounter in their lifetime?
We're an entertainment channel!
But then, a woman's voice came from behind them: "Where is the corpse you caught?"
Xiao He:?
That familiar opening, those concise and clear words that seemed to suggest the readiness to dispose of a corpse at any moment—
He turned around in shock: "You even notified the agent?"
Yuan Sitong scratched her head awkwardly: "Shouldn't we have notified the agent immediately?"
Xiao He:...
Oh no, this is a huge misunderstanding!
