Don't call me a singing god, I just want to go back to doing scientific research.

He picked up his phone and quickly sent a text message to Xing Bo.

[Xing Bo, you can proceed with Xingchen now. As for those disgraced celebrities, someone will contact you to cooperate with the investigation. Just send them the information you find.]

He replied almost instantly.

【Row. 】

The moment his fingertips left the screen, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside, and Gu Yang, with his messy hair, swaggered in.

Ling Luo didn't even look up: "They're gone?"

"Mmm," Gu Yang responded, then, as if boneless, he plopped straight onto the bed, burying his face in the soft blankets, and mumbled, "Damn it, I'm sleepy again!"

Ling Luo paused in her tidying up, finally looking up at him: "...You just woke up half an hour ago."

Even the reincarnation of the god of sleep isn't as outrageous as Gu Yang.

"That's different!" Gu Yang twisted around on the bed, crawling forward like a caterpillar, snuggling up to Ling Luo's side. He then rolled over and lay on his back, looking Ling Luo up and down.

Ling Luo's jawline was clear and smooth, her neck was slender, and her skin had a cool white hue under the light.

Gu Yang enviously reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his chin that Ling Luo had fed him, then sat up in grief and indignation.

"I want to lose weight!"

The announcement came suddenly; Ling Luo only heard him mutter, not understanding what he said: "What?"

"I said, I want to lose weight!" Gu Yang repeated, got up, grabbed the coat he had just taken off from the bedside table, and stuffed it into his suitcase without saying a word.

Ling Luo glanced at him twice, her tone indifferent: "You're not fat."

"How come you're not getting fat!" Gu Yang protested, immediately showing him her chin. "Look! You're practically giving me a double chin! You've almost made my abs disappear from all the hard work I put into training. If this keeps up, how am I supposed to be the idol of countless girls?!"

Ling Luo looked at his messy suitcase, shook her head helplessly, reached out and took out the wrecked jacket, folded it neatly again and put it away.

"Sure, go ahead and practice if you want. It's a good way to get some exercise."

"You have to come with me!" Gu Yang immediately pressed his advantage.

Ling Luo refused without even thinking: "No, I prefer mental activities."

"Hey, your brain needs oxygen too!" Gu Yang persisted. "Don't be like before, sitting in the grove all afternoon with a book in your hand, without even moving your butt."

He suddenly remembered something and shuddered: "Besides, aren't there several graves in that grove of trees at our school? How can you even stand it?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Luo stopped what she was doing, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him.

"Our school was originally built on a cemetery hill. You studied there for three years, and now you're scared?"

Gu Yang's expression froze instantly, as if he had been put on pause: "You... what did you say?"

Ling Luo looked at his pale face, suppressing a laugh, and asked innocently, "What's wrong? It's just a cemetery, the school has been built for decades."

"Aaaaaah! Stop talking!" Gu Yang yelled, jumping across the bed and reaching out to cover Ling Luo's mouth. "Please shut up! I can't even look at my high school anymore!"

Ling Luo was amused by him so much that her eyebrows and eyes curved into smiles.

Seeing his expression, Gu Yang belatedly realized what was happening: "Oh—you were just trying to scare me, weren't you!"

Ling Luo smiled and shook her head, finally telling the truth: "I wasn't trying to scare you, it really used to be a cemetery. But when the school was built, most of the graves were moved, leaving only a few lonely graves in the grove where no descendants can be found."

"Really...really?"

Ling Luo nodded firmly and stopped teasing him.

Gu Yang let out a long sigh of relief, then looked at Ling Luo with the eyes of someone looking at a monster, and sincerely exclaimed, "You really have a lot of guts."

I'm not afraid of even a lonely grave.

Fortunately, he was timid and rarely went into that grove. Every time, he would shout Ling Luo's name from outside the grove, and Ling Luo would come out from inside soon after.

Looking back now, he was truly courageous.

Seeing that his thoughts had wandered off to some unknown corner, Ling Luo interrupted him, "Alright, hurry up and pack Nuonuo's things."

He was a lonely soul, so why should he fear a lonely grave?

The two quickly packed all their luggage and headed straight to the airport with their dog, Nono.

Nono needed to arrange pet transport, and by the time the whole process was completed, it was already noon.

They grabbed a quick bite at the airport and then boarded their plane home.

At this moment, the online world is no longer the harmonious world of praise and celebration it was just a few hours ago.

An unprecedented storm is sweeping through the entire entertainment industry with overwhelming force.

The background alarm lights on Weibo's servers were flashing wildly. The technicians initially thought it was another top celebrity announcing their relationship, but when they clicked on it, they were completely dumbfounded.

Within just half an hour, the trending topics list was completely dominated by the same prefix.

Initially, some fans tried to control the comments section and steer the topic toward "capital games, which have nothing to do with the artists".

But soon, a secretly filmed video from an office building in Beijing's CBD shattered all illusions.

The video footage was shaky, but the content was so clear it made my heart stop.

Beneath the iconic glass curtain wall building of Star Entertainment, various law enforcement vehicles were parked.

The tax bureau's blue uniforms, the public security bureau's dark blue police uniforms, and a group of people in black suits with serious expressions, whose department was unknown, all flowed into the building like a stream.

Police tape was put up at the entrance of the building, and countless reporters and online influencers who had come after hearing the news were stopped outside. The flashes of light were so bright that even the 30-degree sun could not block them out.

The comments section went completely crazy.

[Holy crap! Did we stir up a hornet's nest? This commotion is going to destroy the company!]

[Hilarious! Not long ago, some trolls were chasing after Gu Yang, accusing him of siding with outsiders. Now look what's happened—his house has been robbed, no, his house has been completely ransacked!]

Tax evasion? It's common practice in the entertainment industry, but for it to attract so many departments to conduct a joint enforcement action, it can't be as simple as just a tax issue, right? I just saw a rumor that even the Economic Crime Investigation Department has been mobilized!

[Anyone with siblings working at Xingchen? Run! This company is going to go bankrupt!]

Inside Star Entertainment, it had long been a living hell.

At 3 p.m., all the internal phones in all departments rang simultaneously, announcing an emergency high-level meeting. But before the executives could even enter the meeting room, a group of uniformed personnel barged in.
