Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore Chapter 147: Meng Zetian Must Die!

The next day, the prank short video fild by Xiao He's studio successfully rode the coattails of "Hidden Star Shine" to trend on Hot Search.

It had to be said that funny prank videos remained popular no matter the era.

Especially when the prank target was a celebrity—that intense curiosity and gossipy desire to join the excitent would drive passersby to gather and watch.

Plus, Xiao He didn't carry any celebrity pretensions. Even when "acting," his reactions felt genuine, and his interactions with Xiao Chen and Liu Rulan were very down-to-earth, making viewers laugh along heartily rather than feel repulsed.

[Haha, as expected, fernted mung bean juice equally punishes every unbeliever.]

[It's really hard to drink, fam, don't even try it!]

[Actually, I think fernted mung bean juice is quite tasty, not as exaggerated as people say.]

[I wanted to argue at first, but then I saw your location—a genuine Beijing native, so never mind then.]

[Let put it this way: if anyone's really curious, you can randomly find an elderly man on the street during sumr, have him lift his arm, and take a lick of his armpit—the taste should be about the sa.]

[Ah? Instantly talked a little girl with excessive curiosity out of it.]

[So between fish mint and fernted mung bean juice, which tastes worse?]

[That would still be fish mint.]

[Fernted mung bean juice and fish mint... truly a difficult choice.]

[So I choose herbal tea instead.]

"Hidden Star Shine" itself had a relatively serious the, so after briefly marketing the prank video, Liu Rulan quickly let the heat die down—perfectly helping promote the drama's publicity without causing audience aversion.

anwhile, on the other side, Su Shengxi continued frantically marketing despite facing widespread ridicule.

Every ti Xiao He saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh with mixed emotions.

That Su Shengxi's fans had persisted to this extent was both admirable and heartbreaking.

Xiao He wasn't even sure whether they were clinging to Su Shengxi himself or to the sincere love they had invested in their past selves.

But he could only sigh softly and continue focusing on his own matters...

...

A few days later, the phrase [ng Zetian Must Die] trended on Hot Search again.

In the recent episodes of "Hidden Star Shine," Li Shuo's best old partner and forr handler, Old Zou, was captured and sacrificed.

Old Zou had originally evacuated and hidden in a very safe place. But because of an extrely important secret intelligence docunt, he returned to Shanghai to destroy it, unaware that a trap had already been set, waiting for him to walk right in.

Actually, as viewers with omniscient perspective watching the entire process, it was clear this was a certain death scenario targeting Old Zou.

Once Old Zou showed himself, he was dood.

But Old Zou had no choice—that intelligence was too crucial, even relating to Li Shuo's identity. Even knowing it was a trap, he had to personally jump in to confirm.

This was equivalent to Old Zou using his own life to provide Li Shuo with one final safeguard—his death would prove Li Shuo's safety and allow him to continue undercover.

So this was destined to be a one-way journey.

Yet Old Zou walked it without hesitation.

"Bang—"

With the final gunshot, Li Shuo seed to sense sothing, suddenly turning his head and pushing forward against the screaming crowd.

The crowd today was unusually dense, squeezing him until he could barely breathe.

It felt like sothing was choking his throat, preventing him from making any sound, even a choked sob.

The powerful flow of people almost swept him backward, but his final rationality and determination made him grit his teeth and surge forward.

Finally, Li Shuo stood at the center of chaos, watching his longti partner collapse in a pool of blood—his breath hitched for a mont.

"He should still be alive, go restrain him! Don't let him die!"

The shooter was ng Zetian, who had decisively shot Old Zou in the leg when he saw him about to escape.

As ng Zetian spoke, his subordinates sward forward, surrounding the fallen man.

Li Shuo took a deep breath and strode over as well.

"Section Chief Li, you're usually quite proactive. Why so sluggish today?"

ng Zetian walked over, his dark, profound eyes deeply fixed on Li Shuo, his tone carrying casual probing: "Could it be you're afraid of running into soone familiar?"

Li Shuo forcibly controlled his neck muscles to form a smile, his eyes revealing no emotion: "It's just that Captain ng's operation was too grand—I wanted to rush to the front to claim so credit, but couldn't find any opportunity to squeeze in."

"Oh, is that so..."

ng Zetian didn't press further, neither confirming nor denying belief, simply squatting beside Old Zou and lifting his face with the gun barrel: "I'll give you a chance today—if you're willing to identify soone, I might make your remaining ti less painful."

But Old Zou didn't even flicker his gaze, his eyes firmly locked on ng Zetian's face as he revealed a faint smile.

The next mont, massive amounts of blood gushed from his nose and mouth, directly splattering all over ng Zetian.

Li Shuo instinctively stepped forward, then controlled himself to help ng Zetian up, his voice filled with concern: "Captain ng! Are you alright? We must be careful with these people—who knows what dangerous items they might be carrying, we could all be in danger!"

Soone nearby imdiately stepped forward and viciously kicked Old Zou, flipping him onto the ground.

ng Zetian stared at the man on the ground, already sensing sothing wrong. Before he could call for a car to the hospital, Old Zou on the ground laughed three tis and spat blood at ng Zetian again: "Son of a bitch, I'll be waiting for you in hell—"

Then his head tilted, his breathing completely ceased.

Even until death, those eyes remained fixed on ng Zetian.

—Until his final mont, Old Zou didn't dare spare a single glance toward Li Shuo.

He feared his dead eyes might uncontrollably reveal emotion, and that his final gaze might bring suspicion upon Li Shuo.

These old friends, longti partners with years of camaraderie, didn't even get to say goodbye or exchange one final look before being separated by life and death, never to et again.

What was Li Shuo thinking in that mont?

Was it overwhelming hatred, burning rage, or uncontrollable grief?

Li Shuo himself didn't know what he was thinking.

Even until death, those eyes remained fixed on ng Zetian.

"Haven't I said it multiple tis—when capturing soone, you must search them first, especially their mouths? Are you idiots treating my words as wind passing by your ears?"

ng Zetian was furious that his captured prize had died, grabbing his subordinates and roaring loudly.

The berated n glanced at each other, then hunched their shoulders and quietly defended themselves: "We really did check—there was nothing in his mouth..."

"Nothing, nothing!"

ng Zetian grabbed one man's hat, half-insulting and half-venting as he slapped their heads with it, his expression turning ice-cold and ruthless.

Finally, Li Shuo composed himself and approached ng Zetian to speak up for the subordinates: "This guy probably took poison before coming—judging by his appearance, he likely ca prepared to die. Captain ng, please calm down—we should focus on how to explain this to headquarters!"

"Heh—"

ng Zetian directly brushed off Li Shuo's hand, holstering his gun with the other, his eyes sharp as knives, his tone cold and hard: "You, and Bai Mingchuan—both of you better behave. I'll be watching you closely!"

Then he commanded his n and left without looking back.

Li Shuo stood in place, watching the vehicles drive away, his hands slowly clenching into fists.

The surrounding crowd returned to their previous state, people hurriedly coming and going—only the remaining bloodstain on the ground silently testified that a life had been lost here.

Li Shuo lifted his head, looking at the gradually darkening sky, struggling to contain his sorrow as he forced out a faint smile.

And in this mont, Li Shuo solidified his next course of action—

ng Zetian must die!
