Chapter 153: 149 The Divine Doctor Who Treats the Living and the Dead [3 Updates]

This trending search was clearly new, and its heat wasn’t too high yet.

But because it involved Shang Yaozhi, a top-tier celebrity’s name, its rise in the rankings was rapid, quickly moving to the front.

In the entire trending list, eight out of the top ten were related to Shang Yaozhi.

This was no longer just the popularity of a top celebrity.

Even though Xiu Yu didn’t know what “cardiogenic” meant, she certainly knew the words “sudden death.”

She stared at this trending search for a full five minutes before slowly clicking into the first one.

The situation went something like this.

Under the arrangements of Star Entertainment, Shang Yaozhi took two company newcomers to participate in a reality show called “Real Person Escape.”

This was a program involving extreme sports, specifically designed to test human limits.

There were projects such as bare-handed climbing, extreme biking, aerial surfing, parkour, and extreme inline skating, among others.

However, the participants in the extreme sports were not extreme athletes, but stars.

This program was a joint venture between Star Entertainment and two other entertainment companies, capitalizing on viewers’ curiosity.

Especially with Shang Yaozhi, the top figure in the entertainment industry born after 1995 involved, the attention and traffic it garnered were only increasing.

Xiu Yu was aware of this, too.

After all, she browsed the super-talk forums every day, and some top fans had posted Shang Yaozhi’s schedule at the time.

When this schedule was released, the fans had already exploded in excitement.

How could an award-winning actor be arranged to participate in such an unscientific variety show?

It was obvious that Star Entertainment was using Shang Yaozhi’s fame to hype their own company and introduce new talent.

However, Xiu Yu only followed stars for their looks; Shang Yaozhi was the one she had followed the longest.

She could buy many endorsement products and engage in boosting data, but she would not follow a celebrity’s schedule specifically.

Xiu Yu had not expected Shang Yaozhi to have an accident because of a variety show.

[Starry Entertainment V: Frontline reporters report that post-95 Best Actor Shang Yaozhi unfortunately fainted while participating in the program “Real Person Escape” and was rushed to Xingang General Hospital overnight, where he is still in emergency treatment. Please wait patiently for further updates.]

Even with this information, the fans couldn’t possibly stay calm.

[Shang Yaozhi V, brother, please come out and let us know you’re safe and still awake!]

[I’ve had it, Starry Entertainment V, what kind of trash company are you?! My bro isn’t just some talentless celebrity, he is the Best Actor, do you even understand what that means?!]

[He’s already exhausted from filming, why do you still make him participate in such programs early in the morning?]

[Everyone, calm down. Yaozhi has always been working out, and he’s in good shape; nothing will happen to him. Who’s close to Xingang? Go check it out first, the rest of us should go to school or work.]

Xiu Yu put on her school uniform and headed to school, continuing to follow the news.

After looking at the first few trending searches, she finally clicked on #ShangYaozhi, Cardiogenic Sudden Death#.

She saw the first top trending Weibo post.

[@The Strongest Scoop King V: Just received a message that Best Actor Shang has died of cardiogenic sudden death, my condolences to everyone.]

It also specifically explained the two categories of sudden death.

One is cardiogenic, and the other is non-cardiogenic.

Generally, sudden deaths are the former, an unexpected accident that no one can prevent.

Xiu Yu was familiar with this marketing account.

It really was a paparazzo, and it usually didn’t release fake news.

Once this Weibo was posted, the comments exploded completely.

[Damn, Scoop King, I was wrong about you, I thought you only reported the truth, but you also spread rumors, unfollowed.]

[Starry Entertainment V, hurry up and refute this. A living person was messed up by you guys; what is your PR department doing, eating shit?]

Xiu Yu had already reached school, but after reading this post, she turned around, asked Jiang Ran to help her get off, and booked a flight ticket to rush to the hospital where the incident occurred.

**

During the break of the second morning class.

The school was also in an uproar; many students were unable to concentrate on their classes, even the Elite Class students who were usually focused only on academics had mostly heard of Shang Yaozhi.

The film that won Shang Yaozhi the Best Actor Golden Flower Award had directly blown up the box office, and many people had seen it, old and young alike.

Jiang Ran didn’t know about this. He looked at the two empty seats in the classroom and felt somewhat irritable, “What’s the deal? Why isn’t anyone showing up?”

“Brother Ran, stop with the cold remarks. Isn’t Sister Yu a fan?” a junior said, “The celebrity she follows had an accident, reportedly cardiogenic sudden death, but it’s not confirmed yet, and the internet has turned into a mess.”

Jiang Ran frowned, “What happened?”

He wasn’t much of an internet user and didn’t follow the entertainment industry.

Xiu Yu was someone who chased after good looks, often becoming a fan of celebrities.

In the many years he had known her, from childhood to adulthood, she had changed idols at least fifty times if not a hundred.

The junior immediately took out Weibo to show Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran understood and paused for a moment, “But would Daddy Ying also be a fan of Shang Yaozhi?”

If it was one of his father’s idols, should he start worshiping them too?

The junior scratched his head, “Not sure, but Sister Yu often recommends celebrities to Daddy Ying, and he’s also obsessed with looks, so probably?”

Jiang Ran thought for a moment, stood up, and kicked his underling, “Take a leave for me too.”

“Brother Ran, where are you going?”

“Xingang.”

**

Xingang.

General Hospital.

It was now ten o’clock, and already a considerable number of journalists had rushed over upon hearing the news.

Yet, neither Starry Entertainment nor the program team had shown up.

For such a major incident to occur and only the agent, assistant, and some fans who had followed Shang Yaozhi to the program were present.

The agent had made countless calls to the company, but none went through.

The agent was frantic with desperation, and even more so, with anger.

He had been with Shang Yaozhi since he was sixteen, practically watching a boy grow into a man.

Now, ruined by a single company.

Cardiogenic sudden death.

The agent simply couldn’t believe it.

Just a few hours ago, he had been a lively, bouncing person.

How could he be gone in the blink of an eye?

“Doctor, please check again,” the agent’s voice tightened, “Money is not a problem, just as long as you can revive him.”

The doctor took off his mask, shook his head, and said tactfully, “It was too late when he was brought in, his heart had stopped at five-forty in the morning, how could he not be brought to the hospital until six-thirty?”

Cardiogenic sudden death, which proved that Shang Yaozhi had suddenly fallen ill while recording the program, losing consciousness.

But that was simply impossible.

“The patient’s heartbeat and breathing had already stopped; defibrillators and other emergency equipment were all used.” The doctor felt regretful, “The patient was in good health, if he had been brought in earlier, this definitely would not have happened.”

The agent was stunned.

The doctor shook his head again, preparing to move Shang Yaozhi’s body to the morgue.

“Doctor, hold on, just wait a minute,” the agent, as if he had thought of something, said hastily, “We know a god-doctor, let her have a look.”

As he spoke, he began to make a phone call.

The doctor, understanding he was having a hard time accepting it, patiently waited.

But when a person was dead, they were dead, what could even a god-doctor do?

The phone rang for three seconds and then connected.

Clutching the cell phone, the agent’s hand trembled, “Miss Ying, I really didn’t want to trouble you, but something major has happened to Yaozhi, and we’d like to ask you to come take a look, payment is absolutely no issue, we are in Xingang, can you please—”

He didn’t finish his sentence, as he was interrupted.

“No need, I’m already here, behind you.”

The startled agent turned around abruptly.

He saw the girl walking toward him from the staircase.

She wore a mask and had a Bluetooth earpiece hanging on her ear. Upon seeing him, she then hung up the phone.

“Miss Ying!” the agent almost cried out in joy, “Miss Ying, please come quickly, look, Yaozhi is inside.”

Ying Zijin nodded, “I know.”

The day before yesterday, she had refrained from interpreting the third Tarot Card for Shang Yaozhi.

Because the card had predicted his point of death.

This differed from the first time she met Nie Chao when she had used her Divine Calculation power to predict a life-threatening situation for him.

Nie Chao faced mortal danger; even if she had not helped him, he wouldn’t have died, but being critically injured was certain.

But for Shang Yaozhi, the Tarot Cards told her that his death was inevitable.

She could not directly intervene in such matters of life and death, so she could only make a small change.

Whether it would succeed depended on the person himself.

The agent opened the door to the sickroom and led the girl inside.

The doctor wanted to stop them, but having no authority, he just shook his head and sighed, “Foolish.”

What kind of god-doctor could a young girl be?

Wasn’t this a joke?

Just an hour ago, the patient had already died completely, were all these doctors just for show?

A nurse hurried over, anxiously saying, “We can’t suppress the news, the journalists outside are increasing, and many fans are rushing here, what should we do?”

While speaking, the nurse handed the doctor a phone.

It displayed the latest statement from the program team.

[@Real Person Escape Program Team V: The incident occurred suddenly, but the program team performed CPR on Best Actor Shang immediately and had him sent to Xingang General Hospital. Best Actor Shang is definitely fine, we can assure that any talk of ‘cardiogenic sudden death’ is merely rumor, please do not believe it.]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
