Chapter 272: The Circle Is Truly Messy

"Sister Yuqing, that's about how it is." After finishing her update on Ji Xiang's recent activities, Tang Yan took a sip of soda water.

"You mean to say that Ji Xiang just entered the industry, and even as a trainee, he has already outshone long-established veterans? And the veterans think highly of him, too, with the potential to become a huge hit in the future." Feng Yuqing recounted it based on her own understanding.

"That's about it." Tang Yan put down the water; soda water was so hard to drink—she really couldn't understand the tastes of the wealthy.

"Is he that amazing?" Feng Yuqing muttered to herself in confusion, but then she smiled and murmured, "Ji Shu was the same back in the day. It really is hereditary; not strange at all, not strange."

"Is Ji Shu Ji Xiang's father? What did he do in the past?" Tang Yan asked curiously.

Feng Yuqing did not answer. After a few seconds of contemplation, she looked at Tang Yan, "Very good, you continue. If you encounter any difficulties, tell me immediately."

"No difficulties, I just follow Ji Xiang into the Surgery Department. Now, as soon as he lifts a hand, I know what he wants. This is the simplest kind of work; it's not like having to change people for every surgery. Different people have different habits—you have no idea how much trouble those Surgeons are, they..."

Just as Tang Yan was complaining, Liu Hui's phone rang, and Tang Yan shut her mouth.

Liu Hui answered the phone, "Mm, mm, mm."

Suddenly, Liu Hui's expression changed, and she asked with wide eyes, looking inexplicably shocked, "Are you saying that's true?"

"Damn, there's actually such a thing!"

"I told them not to go to Thailand, look at this, just look at this. I don't know what kind of filthy thing they provoked. Damn it, what the hell are they doing!" Feng Yuqing had already cursed.

Tang Yan's long eyelashes fluttered; she had heard rumors that celebrities in the entertainment industry did many outrageous things to become famous.

What was going on today?

Although Feng Yuqing usually spoke without restraint, she rarely cursed. Today, however, she was directly enraged, and there was a hint of something else mixed into her anger.

"Damn it!"

Liu Hui also cursed fiercely.

She hung up the phone, and without waiting for Feng Yuqing to ask, Liu Hui leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.

Tang Yan pricked up her ears and vaguely heard words like "exhausted to death."

This circle is truly messy; one could tell from the oral film what the people in Feng Yuqing's usual circle thought about all day long.

"Nonsense," Feng Yuqing scolded. "I told them not to go to Thailand. Couldn't he just be a proper trainee? He had to go and take a shortcut. Well, look at him now, he's an idiot."

Tang Yan didn't dare to ask; she could feel that Feng Yuqing seemed angry—not just seemed, but was truly angry.

And these things unsuitable for children were not things Feng Yuqing could say out loud.

But, I'm so curious.

Tang Yan looked at Feng Yuqing with wide, fluttering eyes, looking pitiful.

Feng Yuqing was very angry, yet also very helpless; she sighed after seeing Tang Yan's expression.

"I have a childhood friend... lately, with all the accidents in Wingsuit Flying and so many people dying, he started getting scared, and his family wouldn't allow it either, so he went out to start his own business."

"In less than a year, he lost over 30 million, and his family cut off his financial support."

"He lost that much! How did he manage that? That's impressive!" Tang Yan was surprised.

"Starting a business is the biggest money pit. Driving a Lamborghini to nightclubs doesn't cost that much, right?" Feng Yuqing said.

Tang Yan was blank.

For her, she couldn't afford a Lamborghini in her entire life, let alone talk about starting a business.

"He couldn't swallow his pride and always felt he had talent. Knowing I had set up an entertainment company here, he came running like a fool to be a trainee, saying he would definitely become an overnight sensation!"

"Ha, one shot and definitely red!" Tang Yan laughed.

Feng Yuqing raised an eyebrow, remembering the previous pun, and just as she was about to speak, she sighed with distress.

"It's not that easy to become famous; this stuff is all fate," Liu Hui added.

"Sister Hui, you say it," Feng Yuqing said.

"If the Lu family provided some resources, they could push him, but this time the Lu family doesn't seem to want to, so Xiao Lu went to Thailand on his own."

"Did he raise some filthy thing?" Tang Yan asked.

"They say he did Gold Needle Embedding."

"What is Gold Needle Embedding?" Tang Yan asked because she didn't know.

But Liu Hui didn't answer, seemingly wary of something.

After a moment of silence, Liu Hui said, "I suspect Xiao Lu didn't do Gold Needle Embedding, but went to Thailand to mess around and got infected with something filthy. But... this is too strange, it's impossible."

Tang Yan's curiosity was about to explode, but she had to hold it in.

"I suspect he was entangled by a female ghost," Feng Yuqing said.

"Everyone says so, but..."

Tang Yan looked at Feng Yuqing with longing, like a stray dog looking at a ham.

"Sigh, why are you so curious," Feng Yuqing said. "I don't really believe in these things, but this time, I have no choice but to believe."

After another few seconds of silence, Feng Yuqing said, "Lu is not feeling well today; he has already been sent back to the hotel."

It was rare for Feng Yuqing to be so vague; she had been talking for a long time without getting to the point.

"Miss, the family is asking what happened; what should I say?"

"Tell the truth," Feng Yuqing said.

"Should we go take a look?"

"No," Feng Yuqing said firmly. "What if we go and get contaminated by something filthy!"

"Okay." Liu Hui didn't insist.

Tang Yan bit the ice cubes in her soda water, crunch, crunch.

"Sigh, after talking for so long," Feng Yuqing said, "Lu was likely cursed by someone, or he brought something filthy back. He started feeling unwell yesterday, went back to his room to sleep, and couldn't be woken up. When they broke the door down, they found him delirious, and the quilt was covered in semen."

"Ah? Is he that reckless?"

"I wasn't there at the time, but I heard from others that just as they called the 120 emergency line, they saw his thing suddenly become engorged on its own, and after a few more pulses, it ejaculated."

"..." Tang Yan was startled.

Feng Yuqing had tried to keep her words as calm as possible, yet they carried a chilling, ghostly aura; it was no wonder she did not want to see this Patient.

Suddenly congested with blood, then ejaculating, while the person was still in a coma—Tang Yan immediately thought of the countless ghost stories told in *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*.

"Sister Yuqing... chatter..." Tang Yan's teeth knocked together, making a chattering sound.

"No one is there; they have already confirmed it. Lu is already in a comatose state, and everyone watched this scene with their own eyes. There must be a female ghost; there must be something unclean," Feng Yuqing said decisively. "Sister Hui, you must testify for me; Lu said before that he wanted to go to Thailand, and I did not agree."

"Miss, the people from the Lu family will arrive soon. Should I go and meet them?"

Feng Yuqing was silent for a long time, then bit the bullet and said, "Let's go together."

"Yan'er, you should head back first," Feng Yuqing said.

Tang Yan listened, feeling dazed, "Which hospital is the person at?"

"At your Second Affiliated Hospital," Feng Yuqing said. "We were just preparing to film an advertisement, who knew such a huge incident would happen? Bastards, a bunch of bastards!"
