Chapter 156: 152 Live broadcast face-slapping, the whole network is boiling [3 updates]

Do you really think being the top of the entertainment industry gives you status?

Are you not still propped up by capital?

Without capital, Shang Yaozhi is nothing.

And you dare to go head-to-head with Starry Entertainment and the backing of the Imperial Capital wealthy family?

The fans were all yelled at until they were stupefied.

A few of the younger ones had tears “whoosh” down in an instant.

There were many tall and burly security guards around, all watching like tigers, so nobody dared to force their way in.

The program planner snorted coldly and was about to have the security close the company’s doors.

But just as he turned to return to his office, a great force came from his collar and violently pulled him down the steps.

“Bang!”

A thunderous noise echoed; the planner fell to the ground completely stunned.

The surrounding security guards hesitated for a moment, all looking over.

Rain drizzled, and fog filled the air.

The girl held an umbrella, her legs long and straight.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She wore a mask and a baseball cap, and her shirt buttons were meticulously fastened to the top, revealing only her fair neck.

Like a cold blade, she possessed a sharp beauty.

The fans were also somewhat dazed, not understanding what was happening.

“You fans trying to revolt? You actually dare lay your hands on company staff?” The planner, in pain all over while still on the ground, yelled, “It serves you right that your idol died!”

This statement was too much for even non-fans to bear.

There were not only female fans here today but a few male ones as well.

Hearing this, a male fan stepped forward and kicked the planner: “How can you say such things, are you even human?!”

“You, you…” The planner was in too much pain to get up, “Security! Security! Get them all out of here!”

News from Star Entertainment headquarters had already come in, saying that they would fully support the program team.

Shang Yaozhi is already dead, what else could they do?

Could it be that the dead can come back to life?

However, the security guards dared not approach.

Because there was a group of uniformed individuals standing between them and the fans, with very cold eyes.

Though they hadn’t recognized what the uniforms were, they all felt unanimously that these people were not to be messed with.

They were just employees, and their own safety was more important.

“Go back home,” Ying Zijin did not look at the planner, but turned her head towards those fans, her voice softening, “It’s cold outside, and you’re young. There will be justice.”

The eyes of the fans all reddened, continuously bowing, “Thank you, Miss Sister, thank you, Miss Sister.”

They had come here only seeking the truth and fairness.

To them, Shang Yaozhi wasn’t family, but in their lives, he brought them a lot of hope and encouragement.

Why should a positive role model and young Best Actor suffer such an unfounded resentment?

Ying Zijin nodded and left with her umbrella.

It took a while before the fans came back to their senses.

Wait—

Wasn’t this Miss Sister about the same age as them, perhaps even younger?

Meanwhile, not far away.

The paparazzi got excited seeing this scene, they began taking out their cameras to shoot photos and record videos.

As long as there was heat, they’d shoot anything, no matter the impact it might cause.

But just as they finished and were about to post on Weibo, they were stopped.

The one stopping them was a young man, wearing glasses, scholarly and refined.

“Kindly delete the videos and photos you’ve taken,” the young man said, taking out a business card from his briefcase with a slight smile, yet the words he uttered were sharp, “Otherwise, we have the right to sue.”

The paparazzi did not take his words seriously until they saw the name on the business card and all shut up.

West Wind Law Firm, the law firm known for never losing a case.

The Imperial Capital Pizza Hut.

Who would dare mess with this?

After deleting the photos and videos, the paparazzi left reluctantly.

When Shang Yaozhi awoke, it had already been three days since the incident.

Upon waking up, he still felt a sense of unreality.

He had truly felt what it was like to die.

When his heart stopped suddenly, his brain was still conscious.

At that time he didn’t think too much; he thought of his parents, his adorable niece at home, and those fans who had always supported him.

“`

Regrettably, they never saw him at his peak before he came crashing down.

But how did he wake up?

In a blur, Shang Yaozhi immediately thought of the Brocade Bag Ying Zijin had given him.

He suddenly opened his eyes and met another pair of eyes.

“Kid? Kid, are you alright?” The owner of the eyes looked at him worriedly from a distance, afraid to get too close, “They said you would wake up today, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Shang Yaozhi was a bit out of it and after a while, the first word spilled from his throat: “…Kid?”

Xiu Yu rubbed his chin, confirmed that he was really okay, and gave a nod: “Our mom fans, they all call you that.”

Shang Yaozhi: “…”

It’s not that, this young lady looks six or seven years younger than him, why would she be his mom fan?

Shang Yaozhi felt himself cracking up.

Has he become so out of touch with fans’ minds?

Shang Yaozhi took a moment to collect himself before saying, “I’m fine, you—”

“That’s great.” Xiu Yu got up, “I’ll call the doctor, kid, don’t move, absolutely don’t move.”

Watching Xiu Yu run out, Shang Yaozhi found himself bewildered and amused for a moment.

Even if they told him to move, he couldn’t.

Though he was awake, his body was still stiff, and he didn’t have the strength to even lift his arm.

The doctor hurried in.

The agent followed, breaking into tears at the sight of a living person: “Yaozhi!”

The doctor promptly carried out a series of physical organ checks on Shang Yaozhi, and after completing them: “The patient is all normal, just that the blood vessels are still a bit stiff, but that’s not a problem, rest well and you can recover.”

“Then why did you say our kid was gone?” Xiu Yu was puzzled, “When I came, he already had a heartbeat.”

“It must have been a diagnostic error.” The doctor hesitated before explaining, “In medicine, it’s not impossible for a patient to trigger a protective mechanism during a sudden accident, fooling the instruments. This is similar to ‘apparent death,’ but—”

No one had anticipated this possibility, it was just too unlikely.

“It’s okay, it’s good that you’ve woken up, it’s good.” The agent wiped away tears, “Yaozhi, you better post a Weibo message to reassure everyone, and once you’re completely well, go home first.”

Shang Yaozhi’s family was still in the dark.

Starry Entertainment also knew that both of Shang Yaozhi’s parents were not in good health and, fearing another death, they hadn’t said anything.

Unable to nod, Shang Yaozhi blinked his eyes instead.

**

The death of a Best Actor during his company’s variety show event was too sensational.

For days, the topic did not cool down and remained firmly on the hot search list.

The only difference was that Chuguang Media was also pushed into the hot search spotlight.

Fans were immersed in grief and had no energy to seek retribution.

However, passersby left many comments.

[I mean, Star Entertainment, there’s a way to shift blame but this isn’t how you do it, right? What does Chuguang Media have to do with it?]

[Alright, even if it has something to do with Chuguang Media, doesn’t Star Entertainment know that Best Actor Shang was filming until midnight? If they knew, why did they arrange such a tight schedule for him? Early in the morning, when bodily functions are at their lowest, asking him to do extreme exercise, isn’t this deliberate harm?]

[Anyway, no matter how you put it, Best Actor Shang is truly innocent and became the sacrificial victim between two entertainment companies.]

But Star Entertainment was adept at manipulating public opinion.

Seeing that Chuguang Media did not respond, they felt more assured and called for a press conference at the Star Entertainment headquarters.

President Dong Yun of Star Entertainment and the general director of the program attended the press conference.

“President Dong, what’s your view on Chuguang Media’s alleged assassination of Best Actor Shang?”

“Regarding this matter, Star Entertainment will not let it go with Chuchuan,” Dong Yun said with an indifferent face, lifting her chin, “Yaozhi is one of our own, and I’ve always regarded him as family.”

“Everyone knows that Chuchuan has always been suppressing Star Entertainment, and they’ve taken a number of scripts from us. But I really didn’t expect that they would get hold of Yaozhi’s schedule in advance and purposely schedule his scenes in the middle of the night, leading to Yaozhi’s tragic end…”

Dong Yun wiped her tears and said forcefully: “In any case, Star Entertainment will fight to the end with Chuchuan for Yaozhi!”

Another reporter passed the microphone over: “Does that mean Star Entertainment will seek justice for Best Actor Shang?”

“Of course, after all—” Dong Yun’s statement was cut short because all the reporters in front of her suddenly became agitated, shouting and screaming.

Every reporter looked shocked, as if they’d seen a ghost.

“President Dong, Weibo!” Beside her, the general director’s voice trembled, disbelief pushing him to the brink, “Shang Yaozhi! Shang Yaozhi—he—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Dong Yun snatched the phone from his hands.

It was a live video broadcast.

And the person broadcasting was someone the whole internet thought was dead.

On the screen, the man looked pale and his eyes were filled with fatigue.

He was lying in a hospital bed, clearly just returned from death’s doorstep.

But what mattered was that his eyes were still bright, not the Returning Light Reflection, but truly alive.

On his face was the familiar warm smile, as radiant as sunshine.

“Good afternoon, everyone. I am Shang Yaozhi, and I’ve caused everyone a lot of worry these past few days.”

“Just woke up, came here to let everyone know I’m fine. Thanks to a master doctor, I’m okay. Soon, I will ask my lawyer to help me with the termination of my contract with Starry Entertainment, and also ask the show team to take note of the lawyer’s letter…”
