Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Forty-eight hours after Gu Xingze’s death, many fans could no longer take it and turned up at the hospital’s main entrance to linger around.

At this point, it was already raining heavily.

​ 

The downpour was sudden and violent.

Even so, it was difficult to quell the fans’ anxiety.

Many fans had rushed to the location to realize that the main entrance of the hospital was closely watched by a crowd of media reporters. The hospital was brightly lit, appearing ever ready to respond to any emergencies.

There were also many people who realized that the security of the hospital had tightened significantly. The hospital had even arranged for the deployment of many police officers from the Ministry of Public Security just to maintain order.

The fans were not fools!

The abnormal situation at the location was an indirect indication to them. They were on nerve’s edge. They felt most uneasy thinking that, perhaps… it might not be a groundless rumor after all!

“Could it be real?!”

“Has Sir Xingze really gotten into an accident?!”

“Impossible! How can that be real?! I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!”

The fans had waited and not received any official news. For the entire night, they were in a state of anxiety and fear. Clearly, they were extremely afraid.

In the meantime, at the Huanyu headquarters.

The meeting room was brightly lit.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for them.

Many of the higher-ups wore a serious expression while Ji Lin sat at the head of the table. Even though Qin Zhou, who sat by the side, looked tired, he still had an extremely serious look on his face.

“I believe everyone is already aware of Xingze’s matter! Right now, what we’re facing is perhaps our biggest public relations crisis to-date. Firstly, this matter has yet to be fully investigated. Before we find out the truth, we must not act rashly, and we must not relate the incident to the media without authorization. Qin Zhou will be in charge of handling the media matters! At whatever costs, we must suppress the storm as soon as possible!”

“Many reporters suspect that Xingze had offended someone in the underworld, so he had been assassinated in secret…”

“Assassinated!?”

Qin Zhou glared at him. “Nonsense!”

One of the higher-ups found it ridiculous and said, “Offended the triads?! Why don’t these media outlets do some research into the Gu family’s background too?! How did they derive such an absurd conclusion?!”

Qin Zhou said sullenly, “There’s no need to make unnecessary statements! Some ridiculous comments are not worth responding to! Many media outlets are like clowns who seek ugliness from the crowd. To attract attention, they don’t even care about their basic professional ethics!”

“Alright, I understand.”

…

After the tense meeting that had lasted almost all night, the next day, which was the third day after Gu Xingze’s death, Huanyu finally released official news. This time, it was not posted through the Weibo media platform.

In order to reflect the solemnity of the news, Huanyu published an obituary in the largest print media and announced the news on their official website.

The obituary was simple and brief. The gist of it was that Gu Xingze had met with a fatal accident in the wee hours the day before, while on the way to meet a friend.

The obituary’s use of words was extremely strict and solemn. At the same time, it announced that in two days, a grand memorial service would be held at the Hongyang Funeral Parlour in Beijing.

Many artists had already secretly expressed their desire to participate in the obituary.

Once this obituary was released, the news of #Gu Xingze’s accidental death# on Weibo, Tieba, forums, and various social networks quickly bombarded the headlines of all major websites.
