The phone in the bag rang, and when Lu Anning saw the name, he immediately picked it up.
"Are you still in the hospital?" Tang Jingyuan's voice was faintly filled with worry, and there was also the sound of a car starting.
"Did you see the news? I was just about to leave."
"Don't show your face. Be careful of the reporters. Wait for me to come pick you up."
The two of them didn't say much on the phone. From his tone, Lu Anning guessed that Tang Jingyuan probably knew the general situation of the whole thing. She hung up the phone, looked at the gate in the distance, and turned to walk towards the hall.
The temperature dropped sharply after dark. Lu Anning sneezed, wrapped his coat tightly around him, and walked towards the hall.
Tang Jingyuan arrived very quickly, driving in and out again. Lu Anning sat in the car and vaguely saw the entertainment reporters standing in the cold wind, which gave him a headache.
The hot tea in the thermos cup gradually dispelled the chill in her body. Tang Jingyuan didn't ask any questions, but Lu Anning took the initiative to review the situation and brought up what happened today.
"With photos and videos everywhere online, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress the news. I will contact Gu Huai's agent and ask their studio to come forward to clarify and try to minimize the impact of this incident."
Tang Jingyuan responded: "How about you rest at home for a few days."
"Are you worried about the reporters?"
Lu Anning waved his hand indifferently: "Today was just an accident. If I encounter reporters again, I am confident that I can handle it and won't let something like today happen again. Don't worry!"
The car stopped at an intersection. Tang Jingyuan frowned. "Do you think the biggest impact of this incident will be on the entertainment reporters? An Ning, are you a fan?"
Lu Anning was stunned, then shook her head. If it weren't for work, she would hardly pay attention to anything in the entertainment industry.
"What's wrong?"
“You probably don’t know much about current fans.”
Lu Anning was puzzled. Those who chased stars should be adolescent children. They shouldn’t be as scary as Tang Jingyuan said!
Back at Ronghua Garden, Tang Jingyuan used his tablet to search for keywords, and a long list of news headlines popped up.
"You finish reading this first, and then we'll analyze this matter slowly."
Lu Anning glanced at the tablet in his arms and realized that what he had found were all extreme behaviors of fanatical fans.
Lu Anning was stunned. Aren’t these things something that only happens in suspense movies?
She read it patiently, but the more she read, the more unbelievable it seemed to her. She had no idea that some people could be so crazy in their pursuit of idols that they would steal the trash thrown out by celebrities and even worship toilet trash as treasures and hold it in their arms until they fall asleep.
Lu Anning's stomach churned, and he still felt a little unbelievable.
"This kind of thing shouldn't be common." She still thinks that more people should be rational in chasing stars, and those with pathological psychology are still a minority.
The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen. Three dishes and a soup were placed on the table. The food was homely yet very tempting to the taste buds. Lu Anning was very hungry.
Pushing the hot soup in front of her, Tang Jingyuan warned: "Don't take it lightly, these are places where murders have occurred."
Lu Anning nodded like a chick pecking at rice and was about to drink the soup when Tang Jingyuan stopped her.
Lu Anning looked up at him and said, "I understand. I will take this seriously and be extra careful. Don't we go in and out together every day? Ronghua Garden is very safe!"
Tang Jingyuan smiled helplessly: "The soup is still hot, drink it later."
"knew."
While chatting and laughing, neither of them noticed that they had become like an ordinary couple. The scene before their eyes perfectly illustrated the saying: two people in one room, three meals a day, four seasons!
Lu Anning thought of something and suddenly looked up at Tang Jingyuan.
"You saw the photo, and you didn't have any crazy thoughts!"
Tang Jingyuan put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Anning seriously: "Do you still have the energy to think about other men? Are you sure you are not questioning my ability?"
Seeing Tang Jingyuan's eyes gradually become dangerous, Lu Anning realized that he had said the wrong thing. He wanted to take it back, but it was too late.
The night was as dark as ink, and in the midst of wind and rain, someone who said he didn't mind insisted on dragging Lu An Ning, who couldn't open her eyes, and asked her to promise again and again to keep a distance from Gu Huai.
Lu Anning had expected Gu Huai's rescue to generate significant buzz, but she hadn't anticipated the influence of a movie star. After a night of fermentation, when she woke up and opened the webpage, she was flooded with news about yesterday's accident, with all sorts of versions.
Although Gu Huai's studio made a clarification, it still failed to suppress the heat.
Gu Huai had too many fans, and this incident directly exploded. Countless people in the comment section threatened to dig out the woman who hurt Gu Huai, and used foul language and even curses, all directed at Lu An Ning. She had done nothing, but had become the number one enemy of Gu Huai's millions of fans.
Vaguely sensing the approaching danger, Lu Anning became alert. Going to and from get off work with Tang Jingyuan at least made him feel more at ease.
She got out of the car with Tang Jingyuan at the company gate. Fortunately, everyone in the company knew that she and Tang Jingyuan were together, so they were not too surprised to see them coming to the company together.
However, there were still a few people who had just watched yesterday's news, and now saw Tang Jingyuan bringing people to work in a high-profile manner. It seemed more like a secret competition between men, declaring ownership. Some people envied him, while others were secretly jealous.
Before Lu An Ning entered the elevator, the receptionist ran over and handed the express to her.
"Team Leader Lu, there's a delivery for you."
Lu Anning accepted it with a smile and thanked her without giving it much thought. There was no extra information on the package; it was a local courier, and the sender was a nickname, not her own name.
Arriving at the workstation, Lu Anning carefully examined the package and found nothing unusual, so he opened it with confidence.
The moment the express was opened, screams were heard in the office. Lu An Ning covered his hands and stared at the doll covered with white cloth in the express box. The fine needle hidden on the cloth pierced Lu An Ning's hand, and the blood dripping on the white cloth was particularly glaring.
