Yun Shishi headed back to the hotel to get some rest. When she woke up from her afternoon nap, the first thing she did was to get her phone and log into Weibo. Huanyu’s official Weibo page had posted an announcement by then.

[@HuanyuEntertainment: To our followers, we received some very unfortunate news last night. @TiantianDeerNeck (Lu Jingtian) had arranged to meet her friends at a bar last night when she met with an accident. She’s currently undergoing treatment at a hospital for her burns. We, including her family members, rushed over to the hospital to see her the moment we received news. Our star isn’t out of danger yet and is still going through a nerve-racking surgery. Meanwhile, we can only silently pray that she will pull through the critical period and hope for her speedy recovery. Let us all pray for her in hopes that she can recover soon! (candle)(candle)]

That post, which was published at 1 PM, already had hundreds of thousands of reposts and comments in the span of two hours.

Under that post, many keyboard warriors had left negative comments and scolding. [As a star management company, your announcement actually came ten hours later than the other news outlet. Aren’t you being too lackadaisical here?!]

[There’s no mention of the outcome of this matter in the post and you guys have brushed it away as an accident! Gosh! Was it really, though?]

[For a company as large as yours, the PR standard is really poor! Shouldn’t you people explain more about it?]

[What a strange announcement this is!]

The actress put down her phone before suddenly picking it up again to call her husband.

The moment the call connected, she anxiously asked, “Do you remember that I have a sister called ‘Yun Na’?”

“Yeah.”

“Can you help me find her whereabouts?”

…

In the basement of a villa on the mountainous outskirts.

After entering the bedroom, Yun Na removed her black outfit and sat on the bed. She then picked up the remote control, which was on the bedside table, and switched on the TV.

The black screen lit up to show a news channel. Unsurprisingly, the news of Lu Jingtian getting into an accident had already spread everywhere like wildfire, and the various TV stations were competing against one another to report about it.

She leaned against the headboard while watching the news indifferently.

How ironic.

Both were involved in an accident, yet my dear father remains lying in the hospital with no media coverage, while Lu Jingtian, as a public figure has become the topic of conversations. News about her situation is everywhere, with the media following up on the case and the netizens paying close attention to it.

The young lady then picked up an apple with one hand, then took out a pocket knife from the drawer with the other, and started paring its skin nonchalantly. The action exposed a frightening scar, which seemed to have been left behind by a hook, near her shirt’s cuff.

Just then, someone came knocking at the door.

She glanced at the door before standing up and making her way over to open it. The door opened to reveal a woman with thick layers of makeup and an expensive-looking coat standing outside. The latter had her eyes pinned on her.

“How bold of you, Yun Na! You actually caused such a huge commotion out of nowhere!”

She looked at her, her aloof visage finally having a hint of expression, which seemed like a tiny smirk, before she turned around and invited the woman in.

She seemed rather polite and neutral toward this woman, though she did not appear too fawning as well.

The woman, on the other hand, seemed to be used to this attitude of hers and just merely entered the room without any further invitation.

The woman had found this place for her to stay. The villa’s basement used to be a wine cellar, but she had partitioned some space to make a small bedroom and furnished it simply for her. It was considered her abode now.

This villa was located in the suburbs with little human habitation around. Until now, this developed piece of land remained in a semi-derelict state and was very obscure.
