“Fortunately, I was physically fit and managed to get through it, but…” The actor raised an eyebrow. “Thanks to that fan, I’ve had a long history of serious stomach problems since then. Even after nursing for so long, my stomach is still weak and I can’t take anything too stimulating.”
When Liang Yin heard this, she frowned. “How could this have happened?”
“Uh huh. Before that, I wouldn’t have thought of it that way. I wouldn’t have thought there were such horrible anti-fans.” The actor stood up and went to the bar to pour himself a glass of water. He took a sip and continued, “In the past, I cherished everything my fans gave me. But from then on, whenever fans would give me gifts, my assistant and agent would isolate the gifts from me, even if I was fine. If the gifts were drinks, food or snacks, they would throw it away without hesitation. If they were toys or jewelry, and found to be safe, they would be donated to the appropriate charity in my name.”
Perhaps this incident had cast a shadow on things, after the incident, other celebrities started to decline gifts of drinks and snacks from their fans as well.
“Never underestimate the darkness in a person.” The actor glanced at Liang Yin and couldn’t resist lecturing her. “Do you know that all these public opinions are causing Tang Yu a lot of stress? His acting career, so to speak, is most likely ruined. What if he becomes resentful and wants to get back at you?”
Liang was not impressed. “Go ahead then.”
The actor was incredulous. “Why do you sound so cavalier about it? Do you really think he wouldn’t dare? He’s got nothing now. He’s lost his resources. He’s lost his future. You could say he’s left with nothing. What if he decides to kill you in his desperation?”
“Surely not to that extent?” Liang Yin laughed in anger. “You have to pay with your life if you kill someone! If he dares to do anything to you, you have so many fans that they can drown him with their spit!”
“Although it’s not your body, you can’t be so inconsiderate!” The actor huffed. “You have to protect yourself, do you understand?”
Liang Yin nodded guiltily and muttered, “I understand! In the future, I will definitely pay attention and protect myself.”
“Uh huh.” Hua Jin relaxed a little.
Not that he was overreacting. The entertainment industry was a place of fame and fortune. It was full of sound, fury and nothingness. Tang Yu had been eliminated from this circle. Who knew what he would do?
The actor was still worried, so he called Qin Zhou and asked him to send two bodyguards to protect Liang Yin. Qin Zhou agreed, reassuring the actor that he would have that arranged immediately.
As the actor hung up the phone, he saw Liang Yin staring into space. “What’s on your mind?” he asked suspiciously.
Liang Yin recovered and smiled stiffly. “Oh, nothing. Just staring into space.”
“Don’t tell me your heart is aching for the man?”
“What’s there to have a heartache over?”
“Over your idol of course. After all, didn’t you used to adore Tang Yu?”
Liang Yin sneered contemptuously. “It’s precisely because I liked him that all the more I’m disappointed. In fact, in the same measure that I used to like him, I now feel how ridiculous I was, to like such a scumbag and treat him as a positive idol.”
“Of course,” Hua Jin replied smugly. “Not everyone is a positive idol like me!”
