The call connected very quickly; it was answered almost instantly upon dialing.
"Yan Di, you naughty beast!" Almost the instant the call connected, the little girl's angry accusation exploded in Yan Di's ears like a firecracker.
Although they weren't face-to-face, he could feel the girl's anger and dissatisfaction over the phone. He chuckled softly, in high spirits, "So, what kind of service does Bad Beast need to provide you?"
"You knew perfectly well that this wasn't as simple as it seemed!" Song Mengmeng angrily accused over the phone, "But you didn't mention it at all when you brought me here!"
"If I had told you beforehand, would you still have called me?" Yan Di laughed, his tone relaxed and cheerful. Before Song Mengmeng could explode, he couldn't help but say, "Alright, alright, don't be angry. I've already put what you need in your suitcase. You can see it when you open it."
Upon hearing Yan Di's words, Song Mengmeng cheered and happily ran out to drag the large suitcase from the outer room into the bedroom. She pretended not to hear Yan Di's detailed instructions on the other end of the phone. Yan Di was not angry, and patiently waited on the other end of the phone for Song Mengmeng to start tinkering.
"Have you found it?" After the silence on the other end subsided, Yan Di spoke again and asked Song Mengmeng in a very good-natured manner: "The things that happened to Su Lingge in the past two years are all recorded."
"Looking at it this way, there doesn't seem to be any problem." Song Mengmeng flipped through the pages very quickly, finishing the stack of documents in the blink of an eye.
Just by glancing at it, you really can't see anything wrong. On the surface, it's just a minor celebrity's schedule over the past year or so, nothing out of the ordinary.
Except for...
"Huh?" Song Mengmeng frowned slightly as she looked at one of the records: "Here, it says that after participating in a live variety show, she was out of the public eye for three months. And her first appearance after those three months was the huge hit variety show 'You Have Him in Your Heart,' which led to the huge success of the movie she starred in afterward."
"Found it?" The little girl's mutterings naturally did not escape the notice of Yan Di, who was listening to the commotion on the other end of the phone: "I have already arranged for Assistant Ming to investigate this part of the information, and I should have results soon."
"I'll go ask Sister Weiwei first!" Upon hearing that Yan Di's message still needed to be received, the ingrate instantly lost interest in wasting any more time on that chat service. He casually gave a few perfunctory replies and hung up the phone. Barefoot, he grabbed a stack of documents and knocked on Bai Wei's door.
"Let me see." Upon hearing Song Mengmeng's question, Bai Wei, knowing the importance of the matter, did not hesitate and quickly took the schedule from Song Mengmeng's hand, glancing at it at a glance.
Seeing the time points that Song Mengmeng had marked with a marker, Bai Wei frowned and pondered for a while before suddenly exclaiming, "I remember now!"
"What?" Song Mengmeng perked up immediately upon hearing Bai Wei's words. Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Bai Wei, eagerly awaiting her answer.
"Although my relationship with her faded a lot during those two years due to work, we were still WeChat friends and would chat occasionally."
During that period, various online variety shows featuring celebrities were incredibly popular! She and I both participated in a similar program at the time.
Since it was our first time participating, we were all a little nervous, so we had some communication and exchange on this matter.
However, I participated in a lighthearted travel variety show at the time, while Ling Ge participated in a different, supernatural horror adventure web series that was very popular then.
"Supernatural horror?" Song Mengmeng blinked. Hearing Bai Wei mention this, she was no longer sleepy.
“Yes.” Bai Wei nodded, then her face turned very ugly as if she had thought of something. It took her a while to calm down: “Although the show she participated in was an online variety show, it was extremely popular.”
The production team will select suitable locations in advance to set up scenes and enhance the horror elements, and then let unprepared guests go in to explore and complete the challenges.
Because each challenge in the show is designed to be very innovative, each episode achieves explosive viewership.
At that time, Lingge even told me that if she became an overnight sensation on this show, she would definitely treat me to dinner sometime!
"Did she treat you to dinner later?" Song Mengmeng thought of Su Lingge, whose popularity was now comparable to Bai Wei's, and this was the first question that popped into her mind!
“Her recording of this show failed.” Bai Wei sighed before answering Song Mengmeng’s question in a low voice: “There was an accident during the broadcast of their show. One of the guests suffered a heart attack and died on the spot due to excessive shock. So the show was canceled and rectified. Not only did she not benefit from the show, she was almost implicated.”
After a pause, Bai Wei continued, "Because the guest who died suddenly from a heart attack happened to be Lin Ge's companion. She was a short and chubby internet celebrity streamer whose biggest dream was to become a star and appear glamorous in front of everyone. But dreams are beautiful, while reality is cruel. Her appearance and figure became the biggest obstacle to achieving her dream."
She had already given up and only planned to be a small food live streamer, but the various online variety shows and talent shows that sprang up everywhere gave her hope of realizing her dream!
So she signed up and participated in what was then the most popular online paranormal variety show!
"Then, do you remember the name of that girl who died suddenly from a heart attack?" Song Mengmeng thought and thought, carefully reviewing what Bai Wei had just said before asking the crucial question.
Having heard this much, Song Mengmeng probably already knew what was going on!
However, there are still a few details that she can't quite figure out, so she needs to confirm and finalize them again.
“Her name is Zhu Yujie.” Bai Wei frowned and thought for a long time. In the end, she had to rely on a search engine to find the name of the little girl who had passed away: “Her online name was Yu’er Wanwan.”
"Then, can you find out where that online variety show was filmed and when the accident happened?" Seeing that the truth was one step closer, Song Mengmeng's face was full of satisfaction.
"It's really hard to find out in a short time." Song Mengmeng's question stumped Bai Wei. She hesitated for a while before shaking her head with a wry smile and saying, "After all, it's been several years. Whether that place has been demolished or not is still a question mark!"
