There aren't many people in Qu'an's department store on normal days, but today there are so many cheering people at the door that they fill the entire street. Girls dressed up beautifully, holding all kinds of dolls, gathered together to shout slogans and sing.
This is a common phenomenon among star chasers. Wherever they go, there are cheers for them. The person holding a fan meeting in the venue today is the recently popular Lin Ran.
As soon as nine o'clock arrived, the venue security began to let people in. By the time everyone was finally seated, it was already ten o'clock. Lin Ran came out from the backstage, sat at the autograph table in the front, and greeted everyone with a smile.
As soon as they said hello, screams broke out from the audience like a boiling kettle.
"Linlin! So handsome!"
"Linlin, look this way!"
There were so many people greeting him that Lin Ran tried his best to respond.
The girl in the front row carried a "cannon" in, and the position of the camera stand was just right, allowing her to take beautiful pictures without blocking the view of the people behind her.
The theme of today's signing event is fashion magazines. Each person has two minutes on stage to interact with Lin Ran. They go up one by one according to their number plates, and those who are not their turn will talk in a low voice below.
A girl nudged the girl in the front row with the camera and asked, "Teacher, are you a station girl?"
She turned around and saw Lin Ran's pinyin abbreviation written on her exquisite cheering makeup. She nodded, "Yes, 'Lin Lin's Rubik's Cube Pocket' is my ID."
The girl was surprised and covered her mouth and said, "You are the one who posted the beautiful pictures on the super topic! Nice to meet you!"
Before the conversation here was over, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. Looking back, I found that a girl had stood up and poured something at Lin Ran on the stage. When it landed on the ground, the carpet was smoking.
"ah!"
There were screams from the audience and a group of girls rushed forward to protect Lin Ran.
"What's the point of hiding behind a woman?! Lin Ran, if you've got the guts, come out!" The person yelled loudly. I don't know if she was organized, but after she stood up, the group of girls sitting behind her all stood up and shouted, "Boycott bad artists appearing in 'The Legend of Liu Guang'! Boycott bad artists appearing in 'The Legend of Liu Guang'!"
A few minutes later, Lin Ran walked out of the crowd and calmly said to them, "If you have any opinions, you can leave them on VB, but today is a meeting between me and my fans. Anyone not interested please leave immediately!"
She continued, unwilling to give in. "How dare someone like you have fans? Only those idiots would chase you." She pointed at the fans behind Lin Ran and said, "People like you are simply a cancer in the entertainment industry. How dare you participate in 'The Legend of Liuguang'? I really don't understand what the film company is thinking!"
Someone else echoed her, "I'm a fan of the original novel, and I don't agree either. You're not worthy of playing the role of Shen Qi. Stop ruining the original novel! Get out of here!"
"Yeah, what's with the book signing event? Isn't it just a money-making scheme? Only those elementary school students chasing after you would buy into it!"
Seeing that their curses were getting more and more unbearable, Lin Ran's fans were not to be outdone. There were so many of them that they rushed off the stage and surrounded the people.
"Who do you think you are? We're chasing Lin Ran, and it's none of your business!"
"You're spreading rumors the moment you open your mouth! What bad artist? Our Lin Lin is not a bad artist! That matter has been clarified! Don't you understand?"
"Are you blind or deaf? Can't you see something that was clarified eight hundred years ago?"
"And you, you claim to be a fan of the original novel? What are you doing here? Don't you have a home? Go back to your corner!"
Lin Ran's fans were in the majority, but that girl seemed to be holding something in her hand. Lin Ran was worried, so he went off the stage and pulled all the fans behind him. Not long after, security arrived and they were "asked" to leave. The fans returned to their seats, and they were still in shock, but they comforted him, "Lin Lin, don't be sad!"
"Linlin, don't listen to their nonsense!"
Lin Ran lowered his head with a forced smile on his lips.
Two years have passed, and they are still holding on to him. The verdict has been issued, the lawsuit has been won, and a clarification has been issued, but no one believes it. When others mention him, they always refer to him as a "bad artist."
He was overwhelmed by these four words.
Lin Ran listened to the fans in the audience comforting him, and many of them were crying, and his eyes also became hot.
After a while, he raised his head and said, "Don't be sad, don't cry."
“No!”
They responded as best they could, wiped away their tears, comforted each other, and huddled together for warmth.
This incident quickly became a hot search. Xun Muke, who was with Chen An, looked at the video and her eyes went dark. She slammed her coffee cup onto the plate and said, "Damn! What the hell is this hot search? I woke up and my Lin Lin was scolded again!"

Xun Muke was furious after seeing several negative trending searches about Lin Ran. "What the hell is going on? No, why is it that every artist I'm a fan of has such a hard time? I'm speechless!"
Chen An took a sip of coffee and comforted her, saying, "Maybe you have better taste. They are too enviable."
Xun Muke snapped his fingers. "Right! Absolutely right! He's just too good. I always feel like someone is messing with Lin Ran. Every time there's an event, there's a negative trending search. Those old, trivial things get dug up and used to smear him. Is the Chinese entertainment industry that afraid of Lin Ran's face?"
Chen An has deeply witnessed Xun Muke's obsession with looks. The speed at which she changes stars depends on when she meets the next more handsome face.
He had seen Lin Ran's photos. She had a delicate appearance and good bone structure. She was indeed good-looking.
After a while, he reminded: "If someone throws sulfuric acid, you can call the police."
Xun Muke frowned and shook his head repeatedly, "How vicious! They bought a magazine and drew a number to get in. Are these anti-fans really that dedicated?"
"Let me see what the studio says." Then she clicked on Lin Ran's studio. Fortunately, they had already called the police, but the previous report against the black gang was still at a standstill. This crappy studio was also eating for free!
Xun Muke threw her phone on the table and closed her eyes helplessly. When she opened them again, she had regained her composure. She asked Chen An, "Are you leaving this afternoon?"
"No, not now."
Chen An just came to tell her that he was leaving.
After getting the information yesterday, he decided to go to Fanquan Township and investigate Qiu Ke and He Cheng personally.
Fanquan Township is a small town on the edge of Qu'an City, a five-hour drive away. The dirt road leads to the highway. He didn't know why Qiao Qingfeng had come to this place. As far as he knew, Qiao Qingfeng's hometown wasn't in Fanquan Township, but in Huangshi Town, a considerable distance away. Why would Qiao Qingfeng come to this remote village?
We arrived after passing by the "China Petroleum" gas station.
The detention center staff checked his ID and took him to the archives room. "Uncle Chen, this officer is here to look for information. Could you please help me find it?"
Uncle Chen, who was in charge of the archives, was old and had gray hair on his temples. His yellowed reading glasses framed a pair of cloudy eyes. He squinted and studied the person in front of him. "Who are you looking for?"
Chen An bent down and said loudly, "Uncle, I'm looking for the file of a man named Qiu Ke."
Fortunately, the old man's hearing was still good. He staggered to his feet and searched carefully in front of the numbers until file No. 0809 appeared in his sight.
He placed the file bag in front of Chen An and said, "This is the information he registered before he was imprisoned."
Chen An opened the file bag. The information inside was almost the same as what Xun Muke gave him. A gray-white photo fell out from the file. He pinched a corner of the photo and took a photo to keep it.
The person in the photo was very young, with a shaved head and a thin face. He was holding a sign with the number 0809 in his hand and taking a photo in front of them.
The information stated that Qiu Ke was imprisoned for beating barbecue restaurant owner Huang Zongtang, causing him to suffer a comminuted fracture of his left arm. In addition to his left arm, there were several photos of scars on other parts of his body. In total, he was sentenced to more than a year and ordered to pay 3,000 yuan in medical expenses.
This document seems to be very detailed, but in fact many details are missing. Even the most basic reason why Huang Zongtang was beaten is not recorded.
Chen An put down the file bag and asked, "Uncle, do you still remember Qiu Ke?"
The old man adjusted his glasses, his unclear eyes moving slowly. "One thing is, the young man is very handsome and doesn't look like someone who would get into trouble."
"Do you know why he committed the crime?"
When he mentioned this, some distant memories flooded into his mind. After a while, he said, "It seems that his grandfather died because of health supplements."
About twelve years ago, a group of outsiders came to Fanquan Township to promote health products for the elderly. With some free tasting activities, these health products gradually became popular, and many elderly people took them. But not long after, it was revealed that these health products were adulterated with banned substances. The police cracked down on such health products, and those who sold them fled everywhere and completely disappeared from the village.
After they left, the elderly who had taken health supplements had a hard time. It turned out that the health supplements were mixed with some addictive ingredients. The elderly who could not take the health supplements suffered every day and eventually died of anorexia and emaciation.
At that time, this case attracted great attention from the higher authorities, and many people were sent over. There were plainclothes police officers in the village every day, and they gradually withdrew after more than a year.
Chen An was not very clear about this matter. He should have been taking the college entrance examination when it happened, so he asked the old man for more details.
"Then why did Qiu Ke beat Huang Zongtang?"
The old man said: "Qiu Ke's grandfather was seriously ill and had poor heart and lung function. Not long after, he was diagnosed with cancer. Qiu Ke dropped out of school and went out to work to earn money to send his grandfather for treatment. Before he left, he asked us to take care of his grandfather."
As he spoke, the old man dug out a photo of Grandpa Qiu Ke from a drawer and said regretfully, "I remember when Old Qiu was in good health, I could often see him selling vegetables on the street. Later, he fell ill, and this adopted child was kind-hearted and wanted to cure Old Qiu. But then the health supplement seller came, and Old Qiu was lured into taking the health supplement by Huang Zongtang."
"The health supplements they sell are much cheaper than those sold elsewhere, and they're said to have relieved back pain and leg aches. Even Lao Qiu, who was suffering from cancer, has become more energetic. Everyone calls them miracle drugs."
“Who knows…”
