Not long after these two posts were posted, the number one trending topic changed.
# Shang Yaozhi, passed away #
Popularity: 30936398
It exploded.
Weibo was instantly paralyzed.
It took the programmer two hours to fix it before it was finally fixed.
The fans were in disbelief.
[What happened? An hour ago, he was still in the emergency room. How did he pass away???]
[I don't believe it. Is today April Fools' Day? This joke is too big.]
[F * ck, I'm going to vomit. Xing Chen Entertainment and the program crew are talking nonsense. He's gone and this is all you say? Where's the apology?]
The passersby were also shocked.
[I've seen Shang Yaozhi's award-winning movie. His acting skills are really good. He's very talented. How did he …]
[I can't take it anymore. I'm just a passerby. I feel bad just looking at it. I want to cry just thinking about it. I really don't know what to do with the fans.]
[But why did I hear rumors that you didn't save him in time? What's the truth?!]
[It's still dropping. Xing Chen Entertainment used all the money they got from the artists to remove the trending topic? Also, if it's really not your fault, why did you delete the comments?]
However, these comments quickly disappeared.
Because Shang Yaozhi's fans were too aggressive and there were many passersby, the official Weibo accounts of Xing Chen Entertainment and True God's Escape had to start selecting comments.
In an instant, Weibo, forums, Tieba, and other major online communication communities were in an uproar.
[The first time I saw Yaozhi was seven years ago. He was only 19 years old then. He was still a teenager.
I was two years younger than him. I had just failed my middle school exams and wanted to commit suicide. After I was saved, Yaozhi came to counsel me and even bought me hot milk tea.
I really can't accept it. He was such a good person. Why did he have to go through such a thing?]
[Shh, God wants to watch a movie, so he took him away.]
[Don't say anymore. The child has cried himself silly.]
The manager who was still in the hospital was also looking at Weibo.
A few hours later, just as Ying Zijin said, Shang Yaozhi's heartbeat had recovered and his face was gradually regaining color.
However, his heartbeat was still very weak and he had not woken up yet.
The manager didn't know when he would wake up, but he couldn't bear to see these fans so sad. He couldn't help but log into WeChat and send a message.
This was an internal group, and it was filled with Shang Yaozhi fans.
There was no one in the company either. He was the one helping to manage it.
The conditions to join the group were also very strict, so there were only fifty people, so there was no need to worry about any information being leaked.
[Everyone, don't worry. I guarantee with my life that Yao Zhi is fine. However, he hasn't woken up yet. In order for Yao Zhi to wake up smoothly, please don't spread the news. I'm begging everyone.]

At the hotel.
Ying Zijin took out the room card, opened the door, and picked up the phone. "Hello, Grandpa."
"Zijin, have you checked Weibo?" Old Mr. Zhong sighed. He was very upset. "She was such a good child. How could she … The world is really unpredictable. There are too many accidents."
The day before yesterday, Shang Yaozhi had recommended Jade Zhai and brought over tens of thousands of orders.
Although the amount of money on each order wasn't large, it was enough to equal half of the Zhong Group's income in the past.
Old Mr. Zhong didn't follow celebrities, but because of Shang Yaozhi's Weibo, he had checked it.
Yesterday, he had specially watched the movie that Shang Yaozhi won an award for. He had been lamenting that heroes came from young people, but when he woke up, it was a blow to the head.
"Not yet." Ying Zijin paused. "But he's fine."
Old Mr. Zhong was stunned. "The news on the Internet is a rumor? But his company … "
"It's not really a rumor," Ying Zijin said. "At least they think that he's really dead."
Old Mr. Zhong didn't understand what she meant. "Zijin, do your own things first. Grandpa is going to Xingang to see what's going on."
If it was really like what the Weibo post said, and it was related to Xing Chen Entertainment, he could more or less help.
After the call ended, Ying Zijin put the phone by the bed, changed into her pajamas, and started to rest.
Yesterday, she had been collecting information on the NOK forum, and this morning, she had rushed to Xingang very early, so she hadn't slept much.
She fell asleep very quickly. In less than a minute, she was asleep.

At night.
The sky was already dark outside. The lights were bright, and the shadows flickered.
Fu Yunshen was curled up on the sofa. He looked relaxed and his movements were lazy.
There was a computer on the coffee table in front of him.
On the screen was a video call.
On the other side of the call was the chairman of First Light Media. He was very young, definitely not over 30 years old.
The chairman was so angry that his face was red. "Young Master, Xing Chen Entertainment is too shameless. They actually pushed this matter to us. Now, more than half of the scolding has been transferred. They're all saying that we're the culprits behind Shang Yaozhi's death."
Just a few minutes ago, the hundreds of marketing accounts under Xing Chen Entertainment had worked together and posted the same thing.
They said that the night before, Shang Yaozhi had filmed in Hengdian until midnight, and then rushed to Xingang to start recording at five.
Coincidentally, First Light Media was the biggest investor in this show because the female lead and the second male lead were both from First Light Media.
Xing Chen Entertainment seized on this point and said that First Light Media didn't treat Shang Yaozhi as a human being. They squeezed him and made him unable to rest well, which led to his sudden cardiac death.
Fu Yunshen's eyes darkened. "So?"
"We have to solve this, Young Master." The chairman was indignant. "I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, but I've never seen someone as shameless as Xing Chen Entertainment. The problem is that I don't know how to solve it, so I came to ask you."
"If you can't solve such a small matter, what's the point of keeping you?" Fu Yunshen propped his head up. His peach blossom eyes curved as he raised his voice. "Mm … You make it sound like I've helped you solve something before."
The chairman: "…"
Yes, he hadn't.
Fu Yunshen said indifferently, "Don't disturb your new boss for such a small matter. She's not in good health and needs to rest. Solve it like you did before."
The chairman hesitated. "But Young Master, behind Xing Chen Entertainment …"
"I'm here."
It was a simple word, but it was as unshakable as a mountain.
The chairman understood and was even more excited. "Okay, okay, okay. With Young Master here, I'll go and destroy them!"
Fu Yunshen nestled on the sofa for a while more before he got up unhurriedly. He took the warm milk out of the room and knocked on the door next door.
Ten seconds later, the door opened.
The girl was wearing pajamas and standing barefoot on the wooden floor.
She had obviously just woken up not long ago. Her phoenix eyes were misty and hazy like the moon.
Fu Yunshen's gaze paused and he quickly looked away. He only handed the cup in his hand over. "Drink some milk and eat something."
"Mm." Ying Zijin opened her eyes and took the milk. She sat on the rocking chair in the room.
Fu Yunshen had planned to leave first, but he still reminded her, "Yaoyao, remember to change when you see people outside. It's not good."
Hearing this, Ying Zijin glanced at him, as though his words were unnecessary.
She drank the last mouthful of milk and said, "Besides you, who else will knock on the door?"
Fu Yunshen didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. "Me?"
He was also a man.
"You and I can be lazy."
"…"
Okay.
"You change first." Fu Yunshen left. "See you downstairs in ten minutes."
Ying Zijin looked up and nodded.
It seemed quite perfunctory.
After Fu Yunshen closed the door for her, he held the wall with one hand and seemed to have stopped for a long time.
She was a child, but her body wasn't a child.

The next day.
The popularity of Shang Yaozhi on Weibo didn't decrease. Instead, it increased.
It happened to be Saturday and the fans were on holiday. They started to book plane tickets and train tickets to Xingang.
The production team of True God's Escape was also in Xingang.
Xing Chen Entertainment also had a branch here. The production team stayed in the branch.
At eight in the morning, a group of people gathered outside the company.
There were reporters and most of them were fans.
"We want to go in. Let us in. We want an explanation."
"What about the surveillance footage at that time? If you don't show us the footage, how can we believe that you really did the rescue immediately? "
It was a mess. The production team was already very impatient.
Now that there were so many fans who insisted on going in, they were even more furious. They directly shouted at these fans. "Isn't it just a celebrity who died? Why are you crying and wailing? Isn't it annoying? "
"Let me tell you. Let's not talk about Shang Yaozhi being the Best Actor at the Golden Flower Awards. Even if he is the Best Actor at the Grand Slam, he is still just an actor. Do you understand?"
He had no backing, no power, and no influence. What could he do?

Good morning ~
