Chapter 98

"Editor, it's me, He Yu!" He Yu said as soon as the call connected.

"He Yu? It's so late, disturbing my sleep. If you don't have a good enough reason to convince me, you don't need to come to work tomorrow!" The editor said irritably over the phone.

"Editor, there's news, absolutely exclusive news!" He Yu said excitedly.

"Exclusive news?" The editor was taken aback, then became more alert, saying, "Go on!"

"Editor, it's like this..." He Yu recounted the events.

Then he continued, "Editor, they are now at Hengshan District Hospital. As you know, I'm still new to the industry and lack experience in this area, so I can't get any information from inside the hospital, so..."

"Mayna and Ye Tianlong were rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night? Hengshan District Hospital? Alright, He Yu, if this news is explosive enough, I'll approve your permanent position tomorrow! You keep an eye on it, and I'll handle the Hengshan District Hospital side. If anything happens, contact me immediately!" The editor of the entertainment weekly, naturally, had a keen news sense and quickly said.

"Okay, Editor!" He Yu hung up the phone, made a victory sign, and continued to watch carefully.

Not long after, his phone rang.

"He Yu! Well done! This time, it's definitely big news, absolutely exclusive news! I'm on my way to Hengshan Hospital. You keep an eye on it. Don't worry, this news is your discovery, and you'll get the credit." The editor hung up after saying that.

...

"Through our informant, we have confirmed that the person rushed to the emergency room is indeed Ye Tianlong, the lead singer of the BD group, which is heavily promoted by Tian Sheng Music, and Mayna's new lover! According to the informant, Ye Tianlong is covered in injuries. Considering Mayna's past preferences, it's not hard to conclude that Ye Tianlong was beaten up by Mayna. He was rushed to the emergency room because his injuries were too severe. According to the informant, he might not be able to function as a man anymore. Hehe, what do you think the headline should be?"

"Rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night, the reason is Mayna's extreme taste?"

"Newcomer tries to rise through Mayna, even at the cost of severe injuries and unconsciousness?"

"..."

Several headlines failed to satisfy the editor. He turned his gaze to He Yu, who discovered the news, and said with a smile, "He Yu, discovering this is your achievement. What do you think?"

The other senior reporters glanced at He Yu with disdain. To them, this was just He Yu's good luck. A new entertainment reporter, still in the internship period, could have what ideas?

"Cough, Editor, actually, there's something I forgot to mention. Earlier today, before the charity gala started, Mayna and Ye Tianlong had a dispute with Tang Feng. I was standing nearby and overheard some of their conversation. I don't know if it's useful," He Yu said.

"Oh? Tell me more!" The editor became interested and asked.

"It was like this. At the time, Mayna said in front of the reporters that Tang Feng had forgotten his roots and didn't greet his seniors, as if Tang Feng had once received her favor. I noticed a detail."

"Detail? What detail?" The editor became even more interested.

"Originally, Mayna didn't pay attention to Tang Feng, or they didn't know each other. However, Ye Tianlong had once competed with the Iron Wolf band and was ultimately outdone by Tang Feng's song 'Vast Skies and Wide Seas.' So I wonder if Mayna's targeting of Tang Feng is because of Ye Tianlong," He Yu said.

"Oh? Is that so? Continue!" The editor's eyes lit up.

"I noticed that before Mayna confronted Tang Feng, Ye Tianlong whispered something in her ear. Then Mayna raised one finger, and Ye Tianlong seemed hesitant but eventually agreed."

"Mayna raised one finger? What does that mean?" The others were puzzled.

"I think it might be like this. Mayna's preferences are no longer a secret in the industry. Do you think Mayna raising that finger has some hidden meaning? For example, the events of tonight, otherwise why would Ye Tianlong have that hesitant expression?" He Yu said.

"This... It's possible. Anything else?" The editor was also taken aback and continued to ask.

"Also, when Tang Feng was cornered, he said to Ye Tianlong, 'Ye Tianlong, do you dare to swear? Swear that today's events were not orchestrated by you to frame me. If you do, your wife will always be a virgin. Do you dare to swear?' After He Yu finished, everyone was stunned.

The editor was the first to react, laughing heartily and patting He Yu's shoulder with approval, "He Yu, you really impress me. Here's what I think: you know the whole story best, so you'll write this news article! Tomorrow, I think other media will use Tang Feng and Mayna's singing competition as the front-page headline, but we'll use this story as the headline."

"Thank you, Editor! Thank you, Editor!" He Yu said, overjoyed.

"Right, what headline do you plan to use?" The editor smiled and asked.

"Will Tang Feng's words come true? Newcomer Ye Tianlong may never be able to function as a man?" He Yu asked.

"Let's not name names. How about 'Tang Feng's words come true, a new Ye surnamed artist may never be able to function as a man'?" The editor couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, thank you, Editor, for the reminder! I'll go write the article." He Yu said.

"Go ahead! Starting today, I approve your permanent position. Work hard, I believe in you!" The editor patted He Yu's shoulder and said.

Thus, the day after the charity gala, while other media focused on the singing competition between Tang Feng and Mayna, the headline of the "Entertainment Weekly" was "Tang Feng's words come true, a new Ye surnamed artist may never be able to function as a man!"

The entire news article had pictures and evidence. Although Ye Tianlong's face wasn't clearly captured, Mayna was clearly visible. Combined with the fact that Ye Tianlong and Mayna had stayed at the same hotel, the truth was evident.

This news article was a real eye-opener, incredibly explosive.

Ye Tianlong became a sensation, even more so than Mayna or Tang Feng. Tang Feng's words, "Your wife will always be a virgin," were praised by many netizens as the most vicious oath.

Of course, this kind of attention was not what Ye Tianlong wanted. Mayna was also in a bind, having to avoid reporters all day.

Although her reputation was already poor, she had never been involved in such an incident. The fact was that she was so angry with Tang Feng last night that she vented her anger on Ye Tianlong, resulting in this unexpected outcome.

Ye Tianlong was even more tragic. Although his body was not seriously injured, that part of him was no longer functional. The doctor said it was due to psychological trauma, which led to physiological issues.

With such a scandal, Tian Sheng Music quickly issued a statement, unilaterally terminating their contract with Ye Tianlong, as this incident was too scandalous.

As a result, netizens jokingly said, "One shouldn't be too much like Ye Tianlong." Ye Tianlong's story became a topic of discussion, and while it had some positive effects, it made many people who wanted to "sacrifice for art" like Ye Tianlong think twice. This was the only positive impact of the Ye Tianlong incident.
