When Nan Qing heard news of Bai Ruanruan again, it was nearing the end of the year.
Despite the website's continued popularity and significant public discussion, Bai Ruanruan's case still dragged on for nearly a month.
Countless eyes are watching the outcome, but everyone knows that the law doesn't clearly stipulate how to punish such mysterious things as mind control or metaphysics.
Many people were stirring up trouble online, even spreading false information about Bai Ruanruan. Just when more and more people believed that Bai Ruanruan might even be acquitted, a belated announcement in white lettering on a blue background finally arrived.
To everyone's surprise, Bai Ruanruan was ultimately charged with embezzlement.
He misappropriated a large sum of other people's property and refused to return it.
He was sentenced to four years in prison, fined, and deprived of his political rights for life.
The online comments were rather vague, but Assistant Wang sent him detailed information.
Real estate, gold bars, shops, savings, cash...
That important point in time.
Qin Mubai, Bai Yanxiu, and that vague question from a person involved a week ago.
Nan Qing's eyes welled up with tears.
It was only after a very long time that he finally gave a soft laugh.
Qin Mubai did not give up on him.
Unfortunately, he was like a frightened bird that had covered its ears.
Qin Mubai is mute.

At that time, his well-developed character in the period drama had already left the show at the height of his popularity, and the trending topics of the drama were filled with sighs of regret. The speed at which he gained fans was simply enviable.
The suspense film " Straying into a Labyrinth " has also come into the public eye. In the festive atmosphere of family reunion at the end of the year, suspense films are not as popular as other comedies, but the clips are really attractive. There are many fans who are eagerly waiting for its release.
Meanwhile, Huading Entertainment's highly anticipated key project, " Journey through Luo," was finally revealed to the public. Standing atop the mountains, a young general in fluttering armor, wielding a silver spear, leaps onto his horse to reclaim the lost land.
Even Nan Qing's latest Weibo was a clip of him answering reporters' questions at the press conference:
"Teacher Nan Qing, how do you interpret the title of this film, ' Journey through Luo '? Could you share it with everyone?"
The boy in the picture is wearing a black suit, looking directly at the camera, and has a slight smile on his lips.
The title " Journey through Luo " likely comes from the poem "Linjiangxian: Night Ascent to a Small Pavilion, Recalling Past Travels in Luo " by the Song Dynasty poet Chen Yuyi.
"Firstly, in terms of the historical context, they all focus on the Jingkang Incident, an unavoidable event during the Song Dynasty. The Jin army marched south, the Northern Song Dynasty fell, large swathes of territory were lost, and the upheaval that affected the social order was a pain that no ordinary person could erase."
Secondly, the second half of the poem " Recalling Past Travels in Luo " expresses the author's lament, "More than 20 years have passed like a dream; it is astonishing that I am still alive," which perfectly resonates with the state of mind of my character in the film. From a well-off, arrogant playboy who knew nothing of human suffering, to the sudden changes brought about by war, the loss of loved ones and the separation from friends under the iron heel of the invaders, the war and humiliation, the betrayal and humiliation, the immense disparity in life, and the suffering of countless corpses, "I" reflect on myself, undergo a complete transformation, and finally become a young general who defends his country, shedding his blood on every inch of the land where the people have suffered. This span of time is exactly 26 years.
"Of course, these are just my guesses, and I need to verify them with the director and screenwriter. I hope I'm not misleading anyone."
In the final few seconds of the shot, the director nodded in approval and gave him a thumbs up.
Nan Qing's popularity soared along with his commercial value, but surprisingly, he didn't take on many endorsements to rake in huge sums of money.
After careful selection, she became the first global spokesperson for a certain international accessible luxury brand.
Then, on a day when the weather was getting colder, in collaboration with an official Weibo, they established their own charitable foundation to help impoverished children.
He didn't publicize it extensively, but the buzz surrounding it during this period was so high that the Weibo was quickly forwarded and went viral.
Xi Juan gave him a thumbs up using a large account.
Xi Juan has been discharged from the hospital.
Many people have shared photos of Xi Juan wearing a mask as he leaves a psychiatric clinic. Frame-by-frame analysis of his micro-expressions online has revealed the truth Xi Juan the collar incident that once caused such a stir.
There are also corresponding research directions in the field of mind control in China. Xi Juan once met with the big names in this research institute and even appeared on related forums abroad.
Everyone knows the answer.
Unfortunately, Xi Juan's Weibo will forever remain at the level of an apology.
It has never been updated since.
Until the end of December, an interview video of Xi Juan surfaced. In the video, the person was wearing a white sweater, and his captivating eyes blinked as he smiled at the camera.
"Thank you for your concern, and thank you to all my fans and viewers for your support. All good things must come to an end. Due to my personal health and family reasons, I am no longer able to be as active in front of the camera as before."
He stood up and bowed solemnly towards the camera.
"I will always remember every night I was deeply loved and accompanied, and I will also remember everyone's advice and continue to strive to be a better Xi Juan."
Thank you again for your continued support.
The host adjusted the microphone, his words sharp.
"Na Xi Juan, we all know you've only been in the industry for seven years, yet you've swept all the major awards and are a highly anticipated young actor. So, do you admit that your reason for leaving the industry this time is because of the collar incident, because of that Bai Ruanruan?"
Xi Juan remained calm, looking at the host without denying anything.
"That definitely accounted for the majority of the reason."
He looked at the camera.
"When this first happened, I was confused and under a lot of psychological pressure. In addition, my values were shaken, so I became somewhat depressed."
"During that time, I stayed at home, rewatched the movies I had made, reflected on the path I had walked, and realized that I shouldn't continue like this."
"Being an idol inevitably comes with responsibilities. No matter what, I can't let those who still believe in me through hardship see me as a dejected villain. Just like when I won my first Best Actor award, I received the worst script and was mired in the mire of life, I still had to hold on to every stone in the face of adversity and pull myself out of the abyss."
"I want to tell those who like me that life is never a smooth road. There may be unexpected disasters and setbacks, but no matter what, never give up on yourself. Please muster your courage again and again, a thousand times over, and save yourself from dire straits."
"The actors Xi Juan to accompany everyone for the entire event."
He looked at the camera, his ever-bright, captivating eyes sparkling with a smile, his thin lips curving upwards.
"From now on, I'm going to live for myself."
Thunderous applause erupted.
Some people stood up and applauded, while others covered their faces and wept.
As I left the lobby of the recording building, a large number of reporters from various media outlets had gathered outside, drawn by the news.
A large crowd gathered, the noise was constant, and a microphone was handed to them.
" Xi Juan, are you really retiring from the entertainment industry? Some people say you're just trying to gain sympathy so you can come back to acting. Do you really intend to do that?"
" Teacher Xi, some people are saying that you allegedly staged the surveillance footage that day, since there was construction going on downstairs that day, and something happened to cushion your fall. Is that true?"
Xi Juan paused, then looked over with a smile.
"On the 16th floor, in rainy or snowy weather, those interested can remove their safety gear before bungee jumping and experience it."
There was a moment of silence in the crowd, then another microphone was handed over, filled with a variety of questions.
" Teacher Xi, some people say you're using this opportunity to elicit sympathy and leave the entertainment industry, so you can smoothly go home and inherit the family fortune and become an entrepreneur. Is that your plan?"
" Teacher Xi, I heard you were involved in ' Journey through Luo,' a film that has already started shooting. What are your thoughts on this project?"
" Teacher Xi, Teacher Nan Qing has officially announced his relationship. Has it hurt you?"
" Teacher Xi, the results of your investigation into public welfare matters were released a long time ago, and they were clearly favorable to you, but they weren't widely publicized. Some people say that your agency is negligent. Have you sought compensation from them?"
" Teacher Xi, someone has revealed that you and your love rival once got into a fight at Mount Pingqiao. Is that true?"
" Teacher Xi, Nan Qing has a boyfriend now, will you still wait for him?"
The agent pushed Xi Juan towards the exit, but Xi Juan suddenly stopped. He pushed past the bodyguards, smiled at the person asking the question, and took the microphone.
"I do intend to become a young entrepreneur. If things go smoothly, I might even have the opportunity to become a behind-the-scenes investor and collaborate with Professor Nan Qing."
"As for my romantic relationships, there's really no need to elaborate—"
" The Eldest Miss is alive and well, of course I love him!"
