This is the entertainment industry! No tantrums or shouting allowed!

To everyone's surprise, Gu Yan actually dared to go live during the height of the public outcry!

Almost the instant the live stream started, the popularity soared to over 10!

Is he planning to apologize to Song Qingzhi and then commit suicide?

Are you still planning to turn yourself in to the police and confess your crimes?

Gu Yan has such a thick skin! So many people are cursing him, and he doesn't even flinch!

Wait a minute, his lips are moving the whole time, what is he babbling about? I feel like he's cursing at me?

...

At this moment, Gu Yan was like an eighty-year-old who was using a smartphone for the first time in sixty years, and it took him a long time to find the mute button.

So the entire live stream was filled with his insults directed at the haters' ancestors for eighteen generations—

"Finally, I can speak up... Oh my, let me see which little hater is cursing me?"

"Yes, I'm talking about you. How can you pretend you were a plastic bag in your past life?"

"And you, you put an enema on your little mouth and you just open it and poop!"

"So what if my name appeared in the suicide note? It's like your family's epitaph, why are you getting so worked up?"

"So what if I insult you in public? If you can't hear me, I'll have your name engraved on my tombstone!"

"I know you're a dog, so you don't need to bark like that."

The next second, the live stream suddenly went black, and a line of text popped up—

The streamer's content is suspected of being in violation of regulations and is currently undergoing rectification.

Everyone was confused.

Gu Yan is probably the first male celebrity in the history of the Chinese entertainment industry to have his live stream room shut down for his appearance on "A Bite of China".

Fortunately, the live stream was reopened after ten minutes.

"Ahem, sorry, everyone, please forgive me. That was all Lu Anbo saying. I was just lip-syncing." Gu Yan said this nonsense with a straight face.

Everyone: "..."

[Host, you're blatantly lying!]

[Yanzi, are you treating Baizi like a Japanese person?!]

[Bai Zi: Bro, you're truly my best brother!!]

...

A familiar, clear voice came from the live stream room:

"Brother, you need to straighten out your attitude!"

Although she wasn't on screen, viewers recognized Wen Yao's voice.

"I know, I know, I'm your brother! You're lecturing me now!" Gu Yan said defiantly, but his body betrayed him as he sat up straight. "I'm going live today to respond to the trending topic."

He was fine if he hadn't mentioned the trending topics, but as soon as he did, Song Qingzhi's fans became extremely agitated.

[Qingzhi is still in the hospital, doesn't your conscience hurt?]

[You dare to do it but not take responsibility? What kind of man are you, Gu Yan? If it weren't for you, would Qingzhi have committed suicide?]

[Hell is empty, Gu Yan is on earth! Having a mother who's a capitalist must be awesome, right? But I will always speak out for Qingzhi!]

Gu Yan said calmly, "You've misunderstood. I'm not responding to tonight's trending topics, but... responding to the trending topics from back then!"

"You must be very curious about where I went and what I did that night."

Gu Yan calmly recounted what had happened that night.

He went to a drinking party, saved two girls, offended a powerful figure, ruined his career, and went from a top star to a nobody...

These dramatic events, however, were described in a lighthearted manner, as if he were discussing what he had for dinner.

Throughout the entire story, Gu Yan did not mention the names of the two girls, but the audience had already made some guesses.

"I know you're all going to ask, 'Where's the evidence?'" Gu Yan anticipated the audience's questions. "I've kept all the chat logs and the surveillance footage from the private room. I'll post them all on Weibo later. Don't miss out if you like gossip."

"I made my own choices and I will take responsibility for the consequences. But I want to clarify here that I have never sexually harassed any girl."

"As for Ms. Song, I don't know her, I don't understand her, and I don't have her contact information. Whoever makes the accusation must provide evidence. You've sentenced me to death, so you must at least provide evidence that I've had the slightest contact with her, right?"

Gu Yan's words silenced the entire live stream!

Aside from the suicide note that was blurred out, Gu Yan and Song Qingzhi never had any overlapping schedules in the entertainment industry! Let alone appearing in the same frame!

[I guess one of the girls Gu Yan saved is Sheng Pianran, but could the other be... Song Qingzhi?]

[Aren't they both toxic? One climbed to the top by stepping on Gu Yan, and the other has been silent and playing dead for years. Is this how they treat their benefactor?]

[Oh, no one asked Gu Yan to save her. The big boss said it was just about getting the girl to dance; it doesn't necessarily mean it's a quid pro quo!]

[Come on! What are you pretending to be, some foreign dignitary? Do you think "dancing" in this kind of setting is really just "dancing"? Not only are they taking their clothes off to dance, but they're also being filmed by everyone. Don't you have a daughter? Don't you have sisters? Don't you have a mother? If your female relatives were asked to dance this kind of dance, wouldn't you think it's not a form of unspoken rule?]

...

"Alright, that's all for now." Gu Yan waved his hand. "See you on Weibo, everyone."

"Wait a minute—" Wen Yao reminded, "Someone wants to connect with you on a live stream..."

"Just because he wants to join my ranks, does that mean I have to? Why should I?"

"It's Song Qingzhi."

Gu Yan fell silent immediately.

The live stream chat instantly went wild!

[Holy crap? The person in question is personally involved?! I can't believe I'm actually witnessing this live!!]

The live stream link was being shared with friends, and the number of viewers was increasing...

Gu Yan hesitated for a moment before answering the call.

The scene flashed, revealing the hospital's white ceiling.

The camera shook slightly before finally focusing on Song Qingzhi's pure and delicate face, as delicate as a white flower.

"Hello, Teacher Gu." Song Qingzhi forced a smile onto her pale face. "I'm sorry to have troubled you..."

Gu Yan noticed the blood seeping through the gauze on her hand, and his brow furrowed slightly.

"You should rest well first. If there's anything you want to say, we can talk about it when you're better."

Song Qingzhi gave a bitter laugh: "I'm not going to get better. Teacher Gu, I have cancer, pancreatic cancer, late stage."

This news was like pouring a ladle of water into a hot oil pan, causing an uproar in the live broadcast room!

[Script? Hype?]

Oh my god, stomach cancer and breast cancer might still have hope, but pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate among all cancers...

Song Qingzhi is only in her early twenties, her career is on the rise, and she has a bright future ahead of her... It's such a tragedy that beauty is often short-lived...

...

Gu Yan wasn't good at comforting people, but he was trying his best to soothe Song Qingzhi at this moment:

"Don't be discouraged...try abroad, maybe there will be targeted therapies available..."

Song Qingzhi shook her head, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

"Here, I apologize to my fans and all my friends who support and care about me. This suicide attempt... was my own doing."

She once again made a surprising statement.

When can a person who is worthless and devoid of self receive the widest attention?

"I'm sorry, I'm not well-educated and I'm not very smart. The only method I can think of is to use 'death' to get attention."
