Chapter 797: Monster Attacks Film Crew! False Alarm
"I've already notified the security room; they're helping to check the surveillance footage."
The handler said, bowing in apology to Xiao He and Manager Liu once more. "I'm sorry, Teacher Xiao, Manager Liu. If you have some free time, could you help look for him? Weifeng seems to like Teacher Xiao very much. If he walks around, he might—"
However, before he could finish his sentence, a commotion erupted from downstairs.
"Aaah!"
Someone let out a shrill, agonizing scream.
Everyone looked out the window in unison.
The window on this side happened to be on the same wall as the building's side entrance. From the second floor, one only needed to lean out slightly to see the doorway below.
They saw a bodyguard in black sitting on the ground by the side entrance, looking as if he had been frightened by something. He had raised his elbow in an attempt to block an attack—
But the terrifying mauling by a monster they expected didn't happen. Instead, a dark shadow leaped nimbly over the bodyguard's head, landed in a perfect stance, and continued sprinting toward the parking lot ahead.
Bao Xingsheng had come this time with the same super bodyguard team Xiao He had seen before.
At the moment, besides the vehicles belonging to the Film Crew, only the cars of Bao Xingsheng's bodyguard team were in the parking lot. Because Bao Xingsheng didn't want to put on airs when meeting Daoist Hu, some of these bodyguards were stationed at the building's various entrances, while others naturally stayed around the vehicles, constantly on guard against anyone approaching their cars...
Xiao He had excellent dynamic vision and recognized at a glance that the sprinting dark shadow was exactly the Weifeng they had been searching for everywhere!
However, his heart still skipped a beat.
Outside the open-air parking lot ahead, the other bodyguards also heard the commotion and immediately moved to investigate with caution.
And so, the two sides encountered each other unexpectedly!
Weifeng wagged his tail, whimpering happily in one direction as if eager to play. But when they saw Weifeng's "bloody" appearance, the bodyguards at the front were startled. A few of the faster ones instinctively drew their collapsible batons for defense.
"Weifeng!"
Xiao He shouted from the window, trying to call Weifeng back and stop him from getting any closer to the bodyguards in black.
Weifeng's ears twitched as if he had heard Xiao He's call. He stopped, turned his head toward Xiao He's direction, then spun around playfully, barking excitedly a few times before continuing to walk that way.
It was unclear what exactly he was trying to express.
Manager Liu was also getting anxious. "What does this mean? He better not keep going that way!"
The bodyguards Bao Xingsheng brought didn't know Weifeng! If they saw Weifeng pouncing toward them so "eagerly," they might really just beat him to death as a mad dog!
And they wouldn't even be held responsible for it!
"I'm sorry, that's one of our special effects actors!" Manager Liu cupped her hands around her mouth like a megaphone and shouted, "There's no danger! Please don't attack him!"
As soon as she lowered her hands, she saw her own artist jumping out of the window without hesitation, leaping down from the second floor.
"I'll be d*mned, Xiao He!"
Manager Liu was startled by the reckless kid beside her. She reached out to grab him, but it was already too late.
Fortunately, when she leaned down to look out the window, Xiao He was still alive and well, and had even reached the edge of the parking lot in the blink of an eye.
"This brat!"
Manager Liu gnashed her teeth, mentally marking down this offense for Xiao He, who hated using stairs. Just as she was about to turn and run downstairs, she caught sight of a figure in another corner of the parking lot.
Her movements stopped instantly.
That was...
Manager Liu turned back again, trying to confirm, but the figure moved extremely fast. By the time she focused her eyes, it had completely disappeared.
—
In front of the parking lot, several tall bodyguards in black held their collapsible batons, looking warily at the strange creature before them.
Sensing the hostility of those around him, Weifeng finally realized his own recklessness. He whimpered and lay down, trying to show his friendliness.
"What is this thing? A special effects actor?"
The captain in the lead was somewhat confused. "This should be a dog, right?"
"Looking at the tail, it should be..."
Another bodyguard added hesitantly.
However, faced with this bizarre creature covered in "blood" and looking hideous, it was truly difficult for everyone to let down their guard.
"Sorry, sorry! He means no harm! Weifeng, down!"
Fortunately, Xiao He had arrived by then. He immediately patted Weifeng's head soothingly and gave the command.
Weifeng glanced at Xiao He with some confusion, seemingly unaware that his life had just been on the edge of a precipice. He lay down as told, acting very obediently, and even wagged his tail, thumping it against the ground.
After confirming Weifeng was safe, Xiao He apologized to everyone with embarrassment.
"His name is Weifeng. He's a special effects actor for our Film Crew, mainly playing the role of a monster. That's why he's wearing this terrifying makeup, but please rest assured, he has no ill intent and won't attack anyone randomly."
"Are you... Xiao He?"
The bodyguard captain felt the person in front of him looked familiar. After squinting and scrutinizing him for a moment, he instantly thought of the most popular young actor in the mainland today.
Xiao He nodded. "Yes, it's me."
It seemed his face was quite useful now.
Sure enough, once Xiao He's identity was confirmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the "monster" obediently sitting at Xiao He's feet, they began to put away their weapons.
At this time, others who had received the news also arrived one after another.
"Weifeng!"
The handler trotted up to Weifeng. After checking him over carefully, he finally felt relieved. Running down with him were Producer Wang Sheng and Manager Liu.
"What on earth is going on?"
Seeing the brief conflict between the Film Crew and Bao Xingsheng's bodyguard team, Wang Sheng couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
"Sorry, Producer Wang, it's my fault."
The handler bowed honestly to Wang Sheng, apologizing and explaining the situation just now.
"We really have Teacher Xiao to thank this time. If it weren't for Teacher Xiao, I'm afraid..."
"Fortunately, everything is fine now," Xiao He said straightforwardly. "Weifeng didn't have any aggressive intentions to begin with, but his appearance is indeed too misleading. This was just a misunderstanding. It's best that everyone is okay."
"Oh right, is that brother who fell at the door okay?"
Xiao He also followed up with some concern for the bodyguard in black who had fallen at the side entrance earlier.
"Uh, I'm fine—"
The burly man, who had already tried to hide in the crowd, was singled out. His face flushed bright red as he squeezed out an answer.
"Sorry, I accidentally slipped and fell when I first saw it."
The bodyguard captain facepalmed helplessly.
Good grief. When they rushed over earlier and saw him, they thought one of their own had been attacked by this "monster." It turned out he had just fallen on his butt!
You're a bodyguard!
You're a bodyguard for the Bao family!
How could a guy your size be scared into falling down?!
The prestige of our security company is being dragged down by you!
However, when his gaze swept over the "terrifying monster" sitting on the ground, the bodyguard captain couldn't help but fall into a brief silence.
Well, then again, with such a large, bloody monster appearance, if someone who didn't know the truth really saw it running out... their legs would indeed go weak!
One could only say the makeup artist was too good.
"But Weifeng is usually very obedient. Why did he suddenly run out today?"
Someone asked curiously.
