Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore-Chapter 447: Concluding "Fast Speed Shadow 7," Landing in Paris

Xiao He had no idea that Ban Heng had already conveniently taken care of Han Jae-woo for him.

By the time everyone left the police station, he had left his autograph on Ban Zheyu's skateboard.

Ban Zheyu hugged his skateboard, grinning with immense pride. "I'm definitely taking this skateboard back home and enshrining it properly! This is the key weapon Brother Xiao used to save my sorry life!"

"Shh."

Xiao He raised a finger to his lips, giving Ban Zheyu a slight shake of his head.

Ban Zheyu immediately covered his mouth. "I didn't say anything just now."

Xiao He sighed helplessly. "Go on back. Isn't your sister waiting for you to send her the photos?"

Ban Zheyu froze for a second, then let out a "Holy crap!", frantically pulling out his phone. As expected, he saw twenty missed calls and 99+ WeChat messages from his dear older sister back home.

"I'm doomed!"

Ban Zheyu wailed in despair, quickly hopping into the car. "Goodbye, Brother Xiao! Second Uncle, quick, quick, take me back! I'm about to die!"

Before Xiao He could finish what he was about to say, Ban Zheyu was already urging the driver to speed away, leaving only car exhaust fumes behind.

"...Is she really that terrifying?"

Being an only child, Xiao He awkwardly withdrew his hand.

He had originally thought about leaving another photo or signature or something, but he never expected the kid to bolt so fast.

Well, nothing to be done about it then...

Liu Rulan and James also walked over.

"Let's head back."

"Mm."

And so, the matter was temporarily settled. Xiao He and his group returned directly to the hotel.

The next day, Han Jae-woo, who was under police investigation, suddenly broke his leg, suffering an exceptionally severe injury.

It was said that he slipped and fell, landing face-first, accidentally knocking the prosthetic implant in his nose clean out.

However, because the police were investigating him, Han Jae-woo, like that perpetrator, had to receive basic treatment and then remain at the police station for questioning.

Even though the matter of "hiring someone to injure another" was later pinned on Han Jae-woo's assistant, allowing him to leave the police station quickly, Han Jae-woo's nose still suffered very serious damage. If not repaired promptly, there was a high probability of permanent after-effects. Thus, they had no choice but to end their work in the United States and return home in disgrace for treatment. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

However, the domestic public opinion storm remained. Han Jae-woo's return this time was like a rat scurrying across the street, utterly devoid of the glory he had when he first went abroad.

Even when news of his fall and injury spread back home, aside from his heartbroken fans, most others mocked him.

After all, if you can trip and fall just walking, and injure yourself that badly, Han Jae-woo really must be an idiot.

Later, the police specially made the case of this serial killer public. It was only then that Xiao He learned just how arrogant that murderer had been.

Before Ban Zheyu, he had been on the run for three years, committing multiple murders in succession, even taunting the police at the crime scenes. He was a figure on the police's internal wanted list.

Now that he was caught, the police naturally wanted to properly "publicize" it to the outside world, to prove the police force's capabilities and show the taxpayers that they, the police, were still a force to be reckoned with, that police authority should not be challenged!

As for Xiao He and the thugs' involvement, their presence wasn't as strongly felt. Xiao He didn't even get a name mention in this incident; in the published case details, he was categorized as "a concerned passerby who reported the crime." Most people on foreign websites also focused their attention on the criminal, with few paying attention to this "concerned passerby."

As for the production team, after Director Tannis learned of the situation, he had no intention of using this incident for marketing purposes. So, Xiao He and his team were also happy to take it easy, not needing to deliberately guide public opinion, simply adding it to the list of Xiao He's "daily good deeds done without seeking recognition."

...

Two days later, Xiao He formally bid farewell to the "Fast Speed Shadow 7" production team and returned to France to prepare for the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.

Before leaving, Director Tannis didn't forget to ask Xiao He about his schedule for the second half of the year, only to receive Xiao He's regretful reply: "I already have engagements scheduled for the second half of this year, arranged a long time ago. My sincere apologies."

Director Tannis let out a long sigh, but ultimately didn't say anything more. He simply congratulated Xiao He once again on his work being selected and expressed his hope that Xiao He would shine brightly at the film festival.

And so, carrying Director Tannis's blessings, Xiao He landed in Paris.

This was the capital of France, a global center of art, fashion, and culture, home to numerous renowned fashion brands and designers. The annual Paris Fashion Week gathers the world's top fashion talents. What's stationed here is a highly complete fashion ecosystem, leading fashion trends.

Compared to Grasse, which he visited last time, the fashion atmosphere here was undoubtedly much stronger. When Xiao He, led by Liu Rulan, arrived at a certain top-tier clothing and styling design studio, the shock on his face was impossible to hide.

"Si-Sister Liu, you actually have connections like this?"

Watching the parade of high-fashion haute couture pieces that had just been wheeled down the corridor, Xiao He couldn't help but voice his unsophisticated awe.

Although in recent years, the fashion items that have gained wider notoriety are often some outrageously ugly clothes, one still has to admit that in these high-end studios, beautiful clothes—the kind ordinary people can appreciate with their own eyes—still make up the majority. It's not the catastrophic scene one might imagine.

However, one also has to admit that most of them are women's clothing.

Even just hanging on racks or worn on featureless, pure-white faceless mannequins, those clothes still radiated beauty and elegance.

Walking along the corridor, Xiao He even felt like he was watching a fashion runway show.

"This connection, you know them too."

Liu Rulan pushed open the door to a lounge, a hint of laughter in her voice.

Xiao He was confused. "I know them too?"

"Last time we were in France."

Liu Rulan reminded him with a smile.

Instantly, a person flashed through Xiao He's mind.

"Madame Marchelle?"

His face was full of astonishment.

"Bingo, congratulations, you got it right." Liu Rulan snapped her fingers. "When we were leaving last time, she recommended a designer to me. So, I had a good chat with the people here and prepared your Cannes red carpet outfit for you in advance."

"So it was back then—"

Xiao He had guessed that Madame Marchelle's status was unusual, but he truly hadn't expected her to have connections here.

However, perfume is also part of the fashion circle. Madame Marchelle should be considered a major figure in the perfume field, so knowing a few well-known clothing and styling designers wasn't strange at all.

But Xiao He leaned closer to Liu Rulan, lowering his voice to ask quietly, "Sister Liu, the other party won't make me wear some bizarre costume, right?"

Actually, Xiao He felt that wearing a black suit and just walking up there casually would be fine. After all, there isn't that much room for creative expression in men's fashion wear. Many male stars in the domestic entertainment industry, precisely because they tried to express too much, ended up being widely mocked and ruthlessly roasted by various fashion bloggers. In the end, a simple black suit, neither outstanding nor flawed, would have been better.

Moreover, the bigger the status of these designers, the more they like to have the final say. Even if the celebrities themselves know it looks terrible, they simply don't dare to offend them and have to grit their teeth and wear it.

So, Xiao He was already mentally preparing himself.

If it really looks awful later, should he just say it outright, or should he just say it outright?
