Chapter 6 Hot Search
"Amnesia is not uncommon," Li Yingyan pushed his glasses up and carefully examined the brain CT scan. "There's no intracranial congestion, and the images don't show any problems. Mr. Fu, do you get a headache when you try to recall the past?"
"No," Fu Shengyan shook his head and said hesitantly, "But just now I saw the painting hanging in the living room, and it seemed very familiar to me, but I can be sure that I have never seen this painting before."
"The situation is much more optimistic than I expected." Li Yingyan thought for a moment and said seriously to Lin Zhihua, "Maybe some external stimulation is needed. Miss Lin, you can try to expose him to more familiar things, preferably revisiting some profound scenes, which may bring back his memories."
After coming out of the clinic, it was already late. Lin Zhihua let Yu Yao get off work and drove Fu Shengyan home.
"Welcome home, dear master." Xiaofu's cheerful voice rang out in the villa, "Dinner is ready for you."
"Xiaofu can cook?" Fu Shengyan looked curiously at the round robot in front of him, which was only as tall as his thigh, wondering if it could reach the stove.
"Not yet." Lin Zhihua shrugged. "I asked Secretary Ye to order takeout in advance."
Before he even reached the restaurant, Fu Shengyan smelled a rich and fragrant aroma.
On the exquisite plate, the golden fried chicken's skin shone with an alluring sheen. Lin Zhihua took a deep breath, the crispy aroma of fried chicken filling her nostrils. Beside her, a large portion of crayfish piled high like a mountain, their red shells glistening in the light, their bodies tightly coated in a rich, spicy sauce.
Fu Shengyan: “…”
"Is this what we're eating tonight?" He frowned subconsciously.
"Of course not." Lin Zhihua picked up two cups of milk tea from Xiaofu's tray. "We also have milk tea, 30% sugar and less ice. Want some?"
A trace of struggle flashed across Fu Shengyan's face. "Drink."
Lin Zhihua handed him the milk tea with a straw, and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fried chicken. With the satisfying "crunch" sound, the tender and juicy chicken was revealed.
Fu Shengyan did not touch the plate of fried chicken, but washed his hands and diligently peeled shrimp for Lin Zhihua.
"Why aren't you eating?" Lin Zhihua opened her mouth and accepted the shrimp meat that Fu Shengyan fed her, tilting her head to look at him with interest. "When you were a kid, didn't you become unable to walk when you saw fried chicken?"
Fu Shengyan paused, raised his head, and said with confusion in his eyes, "I don't know either."
Seeing him like this, Lin Zhihua raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "You don't like eating these things as much after graduating from college. I won't tease you anymore. I also ordered braised beef rice for you. Remember to pick it up later."
He had just pushed the plate piled with shrimps in front of Lin Zhimian when the doorbell rang. Fu Shengyan, who had picked up the takeaway, returned to the restaurant in a good mood, with Xiaofu following behind him.
"It's delicious, squeak, try it." Fu Shengyan's eyes lit up instantly after taking a bite of the rice. He picked up a piece of tender stewed beef and put it in Lin Zhihua's bowl. "Is this the shop opened by Du Qian? I see it's called Qianji Snack Shop, and the address is also near Du Qian's home."
Lin Zhihua paused in her chopsticks, nodded, and subtly changed the subject: "I saw your phone ring several times just now. Who sent you a message?"
Fu Shengyan's attention was indeed diverted. He opened his phone and found that it was a message from Ruan Wanning.
After reading the message, his brows furrowed tightly. "Ruan Xingyun asked her for five million again this afternoon. Ruan Wanning had initially calmed him down, but Li Suhui just broke the news online. Lu Yunsheng didn't have time to suppress the hype, and now it's trending."
Lin Zhihua quickly picked up her phone and opened the hot search list. Sure enough, she saw the word "explosion" in large letters on the hot search list, indicating that Ruan Wanning had already topped the list.
Ruan Wanning is a popular young actress, and this incident has become a hot topic. In addition to the top entry [Ruan Wanning is an ungrateful person], several related entries below are also very popular.
[After becoming famous, Ruan Wanning kicked out her poor family members]
[The image of a rich girl collapsed, and how did the aloof goddess rise to prominence? ]

…
Looking at the eye-catching headlines, Fu Shengyan frowned: "Didn't Lu Yunsheng and his agency spend money to remove the trending searches?"
"They've already made every possible effort to put Ruan Wanning down. How could they possibly remove the trending search so easily?" Lin Zhihua read through the comments. "Besides, removing the trending search now would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire."
This scene was not beyond Lin Zhihua's expectations, and Lu Yunsheng was also very clear that the other party was desperate.
Ruan Wanning’s character was indeed fake, but the Ruan family was even worse. They overwhelmingly scolded Ruan Wanning as an ungrateful person on the hot searches, but they were not in a hurry to clarify. They just wanted to wait for the verdict to come out and earn the tears of fans and passersby.
"Ayan, can you check Li Suhui's bank statements? I suspect there is a disagreement between them." After all, Ruan Xingyun was still blackmailing her not long ago, so it didn't make sense that Li Suhui would rush to expose the news just in the evening.
Fu Shengyan nodded, picked up the food and went upstairs.
*
Ruan Xingyun was dumbfounded when he saw the trending search. He pointed at Li Suhui and cursed, "You bitch, you have long hair and short vision! Just for one million and a crappy contract, you go and expose Ruan Wanning's dirt? Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? How come you have no respect for your daughter all these years, right?"
"You blame me now? You just treat her like your daughter?" Li Suhui was furious and threw everything in her hands at Ruan Xingyun. "I'm not doing this for our Juncai. How could I let that money-losing woman take her job? I'm doing this for my son's future."
Li Suhui cursed and poked him on the forehead, "All you have in your head is money, money, money. You're not sure if that loser will give Juncai five million to buy a house!"
Ruan Juncai rolled his eyes to the sky: "Stop yelling, Mom, you're really something. Why don't you just hold on for a while and only ask for one million? Ruan Wanning already gave us three million!"
Li Suhui had never seen such a large contract with such a high salary in her life. She agreed impulsively, but now she regrets it. "I... I just saw that the contract was really good, and they've already cast you as the leading actor in their next film. The salary alone is over three million!"
As she spoke, Li Suhui wiped away her tears: "Oh, who am I doing this for? It's all because of you, the Ruan family. Now you all blame me!"
Listening to Li Suhui's tantrums and sobs, Ruan Xingyun felt a buzzing pain in his head. He lit a cigarette impatiently and said, "Shut up, everyone! I'm going to call that money-loser and make her cough up some more money. Otherwise, I'll go back to social media and find someone to expose her."
"I have to go back to school too. Today, many girls in my class came to chat with me after they knew that I was Ruan Wanning's younger brother." Ruan Juncai returned to the room with his mobile phone.
Li Suhui saw that both the father and son ignored her. The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached. She sulked in the living room for a long time.
Fu Sheng Yan, the former world's top hacker, took action and dug out all the bank statements and transfer records of the Ruan family in less than half an hour, and also traced back to find the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Is this person... Lu Yunsheng's cousin?" Lin Zhihua had a strange expression when she saw the person on the computer.
"Well, Chu Yidan and Ruan Wanning are not only artists from the same Starlight Film and Television, but they are not even from the same circle. What reason does she have to target Ruan Wanning?" Fu Shengyan couldn't understand. Chu Yidan was not only a singer favored by Starlight Film and Television, but also the daughter of a shareholder. Her resources were no worse than Ruan Wanning's. There was no reason for her to do something bad to her.
Lin Zhihua blinked and hesitated, "Maybe it's because of emotional reasons?"
Fu Shengyan was speechless: "They are cousins."
"Who knows if they were kissing?"
Fu Shengyan: ...
"I'll check it out." Fu Shengyan paused typing and couldn't help but give Lin Zhihua a thumbs-up. "You guessed right. Chu Yidan is indeed adopted."
Lin Zhihua smiled slightly. This was not just a guess, it was just a routine.
The sensitive cousin fell in love with the gentle cousin at first sight and had been secretly in love with him for many years. Unexpectedly, the heroine appeared halfway and not only stole all the attention of her lover, but also won the love of people around her and her career was booming.
Seeing the relationship between the cousin and the heroine steadily warming, the cousin naturally turned evil and continued to secretly trip up the heroine. Ruan Xingyun's family was most likely sent by Chu Yidan to annoy Ruan Wanning. If they could ruin Ruan Wanning's popularity and make her unable to recover from it, that would be perfect.
Every star has his or her haters, let alone Ruan Wanning, who is currently at the peak of her popularity. Ruan Wanning has been in the industry for five years and has a large fan base, but also quite a few haters.
Normally, the negative news exposed about Ruan Wanning was just her being a big shot. This time, the negative news was like a bombshell that hit the entertainment industry. Black fans were celebrating, and passers-by who didn't know the truth also turned against her. The entry was filled with insults, and the comments of the few rational fans were drowned out.
——The fake character image has been proven, there is no way for the fans to redeem themselves now, right?
—Neither her own parents care about her, what an ungrateful bastard! If I were her mother, I would strangle her to death when she was born.
Why hasn't Ruan Wanning's studio issued a statement yet? Are they trying to remove the trending search and cover their mouth?
——Please provide some evidence before issuing a statement, don’t rush to refute the rumors right away!
——Ruan Wanning should get out of the entertainment industry. Before making money, learn how to be a human being.
…
After seeing the hot search, Lu Yunsheng had no time to contact the public relations manager and hurried to Ruan Wanning's house.
"Ningning, are you okay?"
Ruan Wanning shook her head to interrupt Lu Yunsheng. She appeared calm and composed, and was not affected by the abuse on the hot search.
"Come in and talk." She stepped aside to let Lu Yunsheng out. After he entered, Ruan Wanning handed him the phone. "Lawyer Fu has already helped me find out who instructed Li Suhui to find the marketing account to expose the information."
Seeing the familiar figure on the screen, Lu Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, then frowned. He looked up at Ruan Wanning and said seriously, "I'll get someone to check on her right away. Ningning, don't worry, I won't protect her just because she's my aunt's daughter."
Ruan Wanning probably guessed why Chu Yi Dan was targeting her. She lowered her head and said nothing more, just nodded lightly.
Lu Yunsheng looked at her for a moment, then suddenly opened his arms and hugged her. Ruan Wanning's body stiffened, but she didn't push him away. Instead, she relaxed at his voice.
"Ningning, don't let your imagination run wild. Don't you understand my feelings?" Lu Yunsheng whispered in her ear, "Once this is over, we'll terminate our contract with Starlight Films."
"When the time comes, I'll set up my own studio and let Ningning be the boss. I'll work for Ningning for free my whole life."
