Chapter 116
#Lin Yuan attacked#
#Lin Yuan attacked on his way home from get off work#
#Lin Yuan attacked, police are investigating#
[On the day of filming for the TV series "Mandala" in Z City, popular actor Lin was attacked by unidentified individuals...]
[It is reported that the murder weapon was an iron bar. The reason for Lin's attack and the identity of the perpetrator remain unknown...]
Sang Zi had just clicked on the trending topics when she was startled by the rows of eye-catching "hot" words.
Even if a celebrity cheats on their spouse, or becomes a legal troublemaker like Ni Heng, Weibo doesn't see so many "explosive" headlines.
Along with the word "explosion," Lin Yuan's name also appeared.
Because the entire crew of "Mandala" stayed at the same hotel, and other actors and staff would also pass by Lin Yuan's daily route, Lin Yuan was quickly taken to the hospital after being discovered, and no photos of the scene were leaked.
And it is clear that media reporters and marketing accounts have already rushed to Z City.
Sang Zi's mind was filled with Lin Yuan and the murder weapon.
"Holy crap! Is Lin Yuan alright?"
"Are you crazy?"
"What's going on? What's the situation with Lin Yuan? Has his studio issued a statement?"
Lin Yuan's own Weibo account and his studio's Weibo account were instantly flooded with fans.
"Who is so determined to harm Lin Yuan?"
"Is Lin Yuan alright?!"
...
Lin Yuan was actually not seriously injured. Although the iron rod hit him with considerable force, he noticed it early and kept dodging, preventing the rod from hitting him squarely. If it had hit his head... it would be hard to say whether he would still be safe.
Lin Yuan had learned some techniques for stabilizing his lower body at that boxing gym. His legs were quite strong, and when he was hit... he didn't break any bones, only suffered soft tissue contusions.
However, Lin Yuan was indeed in great pain the moment he was hit; he thought he had broken a bone.
Fortunately, it wasn't a serious injury. There's no need to worry about it taking a hundred days to recover. As long as Lin Yuan rests well, he can still return to the film set to film.
He lay in bed, idly scrolling through his phone, while Weibo was buzzing with activity, and the forums he usually logged into were filled with posts from various "information masters."
My uncle's cousin is in the intensive care unit. LY might not make it; he was stabbed in the heart and is in critical condition.
Wasn't the murder weapon supposed to be an iron bar?
Lin Yuan's current fate is unknown.
[This is terrifying! Lin Yuan's career is on such a good upward trajectory, who wants to harm him?!]
Lin Yuan: "..."
Actually... he's still alive and well.
Amidst a cacophony of online discussion, Lin Yuan's studio and the production team of "Mandala" issued statements one after another.
The moment the news was announced, Sang Zi felt a little relieved, but she was still somewhat worried because Lin Yuan himself did not show up.
Sang Zi usually hates the paparazzi's intrusive reporting, but right now she hopes that the paparazzi will be more well-informed so that she can know more about Lin Yuan's safety.
She didn't have any other hopes for her fellow villagers; her only wish was for Lin Yuan to live peacefully.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan quickly posted a selfie. In the photo, he looked healthy and indicated that he only needed a few days of rest.
"It's good that you're safe."
"Kobayashi, please be okay! Thank goodness you're alright, you scared me to death! Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
"Who exactly wants to harm Lin Yuan?!"
Lin Yuan himself was not seriously injured, which reduced the attention on his attack.
However, fans and industry insiders are all wondering what happened that caused Lin Yuan to suddenly suffer this misfortune.
"Has Lin Yuan offended someone?"
"Lin Yuan has offended a lot of people. He usually has such a sharp tongue. Everyone knows that you have to be careful what you say in the entertainment industry. He probably doesn't even know who he has offended."
"Why was Lin Yuan attacked while everyone else was spared? Shouldn't he reflect on his own actions?"
After confirming that Lin Yuan was alright, netizens immediately became sarcastic and began analyzing the issue from the perspective of victim blaming.
If Lin Yuan were crippled or even died, his reputation would reverse overnight, and everyone would praise him as a good and kind person, saying it was a great pity.
They are always too harsh on the living.
Of course, these comments do not represent the views of the majority; the vast majority of people still feel fortunate.
"It's good that nothing bad happened."
"Let's find out the truth quickly! What's going on?! It's terrifying."
The police report was released quickly.
It was only then that Sangzi realized that although Lin Yuan seemed to have not been seriously injured, he had actually encountered great danger.
It is said that there are surveillance cameras nearby that captured the whole incident—Lin Yuan was just very lucky. If he had been less lucky, whether he had been hit on the head or other parts of his body, the result would not have been like this.
The victim noticed the suspect's actions and was attacked in the right leg... The suspect was eventually subdued.
Lin Yuan and this suspect have no connection whatsoever, no financial disputes, and no work-related conflicts.
The suspect staked out the filming location of "Mandala" for a whole week before figuring out Lin Yuan's movements. Taking advantage of Lin Yuan's solo outing, the suspect seized the opportunity and decisively made his move.
He attacked Lin Yuan because he was a fan of Geng Yue.
Geng Yue's career was in a slump, his investments in the stock market also suffered a major failure, his girlfriend broke up with him, and all sorts of unpleasant emotions overwhelmed him. At this time, he happened to see the news that Lin Yuan's salary had skyrocketed.
The filming location for "Mandala" was near the suspect's residential area. He made up his mind and took decisive action.
"???? This is completely an undeserved disaster for Lin Yuan."
"Oh my god, I was so excited to see the words 'Lin Yuan subdued the suspect.' Thank goodness Lin Yuan had been practicing boxing recently."
"+1, ahhhhh, thank goodness, really thank goodness, otherwise I don't even want to think about the consequences."
"I can't even imagine +1, it's too tragic, Lin Yuan, so tragic."
"...Aren't Geng Yue's fans sick and should go get treatment? Why are they dragging Lin Yuan into this? I just want to ask, was what happened to him really caused by Lin Yuan?"
"Lin Yuan is so pitiful, truly pitiful."
...
Geng Yue's life was indeed difficult.
But compared to the working class who are still struggling to make ends meet, he has already achieved financial freedom. The years when Geng Yue became famous coincided with the influx of capital into the entertainment industry, and actors' salaries skyrocketed without limit.
He can earn tens of millions of yuan for filming a TV series, plus various commercial endorsements, including appearance fees from brands. Geng Yue can support a company on his own.
His life is no different from when he was at the height of his fame. He has also made some investments, so he has no financial worries at all.
However, Geng Yue finds it difficult to express satisfaction with the current situation.
Having tasted the joy of reaching the summit, he naturally didn't want to fall.
The entertainment industry is ruthless in its pursuit of fame. Once you're famous, everything you do is right, and you're greeted with smiles wherever you go. Even if you make a mistake or your show flops, countless fans will defend you.
Take Ni Heng as an example. Even though he's been imprisoned, many of his fans are still defending him.
In some ways, Geng Yue felt that he was not as good as Ni Heng. Once Ni Heng went in, it was as if he could turn a deaf ear to what was going on outside, and he didn't have to care about anything or see any of the gossip.
Geng Yue could see it every day.
Even within his own company, many people treat him with two faces. Before, they would call him "Brother Yue" all the time, but now? They think Geng Yue is nothing but a fart.
How could Geng Yue possibly stand this?
Even last year, the profits he generated alone were equivalent to 55% of the entire company's profits.
In the entertainment industry, who doesn't greet him with a polite smile?
And now? Sometimes he feels like a plague god.
Even if others don't look at him strangely, he still feels something is wrong.
No one can understand the pain of falling from a great height.
Geng Yue did not reflect on his own actions; he felt that his experience was closely related to Lin Yuan.
When Geng Yue first saw the news of Lin Yuan's attack, he secretly rejoiced.
See? Lin Yuan was too arrogant, which is why some people couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to teach him a lesson.
Doesn't he deserve it?
At the time, the extent of Lin Yuan's injuries was unknown online; all that was known was that he was attacked with an iron bar. The news circulating online made people think that Lin Yuan was in grave danger.
Geng Yue thought to himself, "Although Lin Yuan has won over him in terms of reputation, what's the use of a good reputation? A person has to live."
When the studio and the production crew informed Geng Yue that Lin Yuan was alright, he felt a little disappointed.
Why is it that nothing happened?
He couldn't help but think the worst—could it be that Lin Yuan was intentionally playing the victim to promote his new drama?
Geng Yue didn't come up with this idea out of nowhere; there are indeed people in the entertainment industry who do this, and quite a few at that.
With a weak pose, a picture, and a long post, fans all over the world showered him with kisses.
Geng Yue himself did just that.
The result—the official announcement—is here.
Geng Yue silently thought to himself, "How boring." He thought Lin Yuan was doing it on purpose, but if there really was a report, it was probably true.
There is no reason for the authorities to cooperate with Lin Yuan in fabricating evidence.
People in this circle generally don't want to be associated with blue backgrounds and white lettering.
After all... there must be more than one person like Ni Heng in the industry.
They just haven't been caught yet.
In short, Lin Yuan did not stage or fabricate anything; he was just incredibly lucky to be followed, beaten with an iron bar, and still emerge unharmed.
What incredible luck!
How come Lin Yuan is so lucky in everything, while he himself is so unlucky?
As he scrolled down further, Geng Yue's eyes widened in disbelief.
He could no longer utter the word "bored".
To be honest, while Geng Yue hoped Lin Yuan would suffer misfortune, he didn't want this matter to have anything to do with him.
What kind of lunatic would want to avenge him?
Are you sick in the head?
He doesn't even know this lunatic!
Others wouldn't think this is the voluntary action of a madman.
They'll just think it's his fault, and maybe he's even behind it.
He had barely finished reading the report when the name "Geng Yue" was already trending on social media.
Geng Yue: "..."
He doesn't dislike trending on social media, but he really dislikes trending on social media through this method.
He faced a barrage of accusations, and many felt that the mindset of this mentally unstable fan perfectly represented Geng Yue's own.
Geng Yue couldn't help but curse twice.
He was just regretting that the person hadn't been more ruthless.
Now he was glad that Lin Yuan was very good at footwork and had successfully subdued the suspect.
If something really happens to Lin Yuan, he won't be able to clear his name no matter what.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan was unharmed.
Are you sick in the head?
Are you crazy?!
Are you crazy?!
On the trending topics list, the tag #GengYueLinYuan# has climbed to third place.
Geng Yue just wanted to kowtow and beg for mercy.
If he could, he would rather have his bones broken by the iron bar.
