Born to suck up to no one, I'll take my lumps.

Early in the morning, Su He took Ma Mingzhe and the other two to the takeaway station. As they were all experienced hands, the station master just briefly explained some points for attention and soon finished their on boarding procedure.

Ma Mingzhe and the others had contributed all their money to the foot massage parlor, and Su He also lent them two thousand yuan for buying second-hand e-bikes and daily expenses. Although they were unreliable when they passed by the foot massage parlor, they would pay back the money first thing after getting their salary.

Su He also bought a second-hand e-bike and started taking orders.

"Ding, you've got a new takeaway order, please handle it in time."

As his arm was injured, and it was drizzling outside, Su He didn't dare to take too many orders. He shuttled back and forth until 2 p.m., delivering over 30 orders.

The police had not made any new progress yet, and the investigation was still underway. All the medical staff across the capital were checking the list.

In the afternoon, Su He didn't go to the hospital to visit Shen Yue. Director Yu Qing notified him to go back and shoot some scenes with Li Yifeng.

At the set, Su He rode an e-bike and slowly drove over. Li Yifeng's agent Deng Shu immediately came up and blamed: "Why did you just come? Do you still have any sense of time? If others didn't know, they would have thought you were some big shot! You're not even famous yet but you're already acting like a diva!"

Li Yifeng sat aside, ignoring Deng Shu's behavior, and was watching Su He with interest.

Before Su He could speak, Director Yu Qing came over to smooth things out: "Since Su He is here now, let's get started. All departments pay attention and get moving!"

Seeing this, Deng Shu glanced at Su He and stormed back behind Li Yifeng angrily.

It was still the previous scene. Su He had his back facing Li Yifeng, then suddenly turned around with a brutal look in his eyes staring at Li Yifeng.

Li Yifeng revealed a frightened expression, reciting his line: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...seven, six, five, four three, two, one...three, two, one, three two one...four, five, six, seven, three, two one..."

Su He grinned hideously: "If you don't bring her to my bed tonight, you know the consequences!"

Li Yifeng hurriedly turned around and left.

"Cut, OK, perfect..."

Looking at the footage, Director Yu Qing didn't expect Li Yifeng to pass it in one take this time. It looked like he had practiced a lot privately.

After shooting this scene there was nothing else for Su He. Next he had to wait for notice to go on location shooting elsewhere.

Just as Su He was about to leave, Li Yifeng walked over and said in front of everyone: "Su He, are you interested in signing with my company?"

Hiding in the corner, Deng Shu revealed a sinister smile. Su He's looks and acting skills were beyond doubt. Becoming famous was only a matter of time. Perhaps with this TV series alone, he could become instantly famous.

However, Su He now was still an obscure extra, making a living by delivering takeaways. As long as he signed Su He, as long as Su He was obedient, he would make money for the company. If he was disobedient, either he'd have to pay exorbitant compensation or be completely blacklisted.

Standing at the side, Director Yu Qing watched silently, still feeling a bit uncomfortable inside. Su He was a good actor with an innate talent in acting, and almost every scene could be passed in one take. Given time, he would definitely become hugely popular nationwide.

If he were to sign with a company so early, he would surely not be treated fairly and there would be many conflicts afterwards.

Su He didn't expect Li Yifeng to want to sign him. But after seeing his agent's attitude just now, he didn't have any good feelings towards Li Yifeng either. Su He said, "Let me consider it."

After Su He had finished shooting his part, he turned around and left the set, then rode his e-bike to continue his takeaway deliveries.

Elder Brother Feng happened to catch this scene. He quickly ran up to Su He and said: "Su He, are you stupid? Li Yifeng wants to sign you, you'll immediately become famous, you know that? So many newcomers are begging to fawn over him, but you did this, it's like offending him! How will you survive in the entertainment industry in the future?"

"I don't know how to fawn over people naturally. Be it glorious or down and out, I'll endure it all!"

Su He patted Elder Brother Feng on the shoulder and rode away on his e-bike.

Everyone has their own path to follow. Those met along the way will eventually part ways. Elder Brother Feng had pursued half a lifetime just for a few lines. But Su He still didn't want to step into the sinister entertainment industry.

Li Yifeng stood frozen in place, his face ashen. His agent hurried over, nagging: "What are you guys looking at, don't you have anything to do?"

The rain fell heavier that night. After checking the backend, there was only a 0.5 yuan extreme weather subsidy. Su He complained a bit, then started taking orders.

At one o'clock midnight, the rain was pouring down even heavier. Carrying the last takeaway order, Su He was going to deliver this then go back to rest.

Behind Guomao, the Huashiying Urban Village housed large numbers of migrant workers. It gathered white collars working in office buildings nearby, small business owners, takeaway couriers, delivery men and more...

This was also the biggest headache for rookie takeaway couriers. Going through winding alleyways, Su He arrived at the door of a dilapidated hut.

"Hello, this is Meituan Takeaway, your order has arrived!"

Su He called but no one answered, so he knocked on the door a few times and shouted loudly.

Asleep?

After waiting another few minutes, Su He was about to report to the platform first when he heard sounds from inside the house.

The door opened just a crack. There was no light inside, and a man's voice said: "Just give it to me."

Su He quickly handed over the bag. "Please enjoy your meal!"

The man took the bag, then closed the door directly.

After delivering the last order, Su He turned around to leave, and rode his e-bike towards the hostel.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the dark alley, and on Su He's hands was a splash of red liquid being gradually washed off by the rain.

He slammed the brakes, threw down his bike and ran back.

"Bang!"

He kicked open the door. There was no sound at all in the dark room. Another flash of lightning swept past. On the floor, a woman was lying in a pool of blood, with an alarm clock in front of her still ticking away slowly.

"Boom boom boom..." The thunder rumbled, and a shadow flashed by. Su He quickly gave chase.

Su He had always wondered why in TV shows whenever someone chased after a villain, the chaser would shout loudly "Stop!"

But the louder the shout, the faster the villain would run, as if shouting "Faster!" from behind.

The one running in front didn't get far before slowing down. In contrast, Su He quickly caught up.

Seeing this, the man stopped and turned to face Su He.

The two stood facing each other at the mouth of the alley. There was a small lamp that barely illuminated their faces.

A man dressed all in black with a black hat and black mask, carrying a black bag. Without the lamplight one could only see a black silhouette.

Su He wore a yellow takeaway uniform. Clearly knowing there was no escape, the man took out a syringe, preparing to attack.

On this rainy night in the dark alley of an urban village, Su He charged forward and punched the man hard in the face. He grabbed hold of the man's wrist and twisted it to his back, making the syringe drop to the ground. Then he kicked the man's knee making him fall to his knees.

"Cough cough..." The man knelt on the ground, writhing in pain. He pulled down his mask and threw up.

Under the lamplight, Su He saw the man's emaciated and haggard face clearly. He was middle-aged.

"Hello, Zhou Police Officer? At Huashiying Urban Village... I've caught the murderer..."
