The suspicious death of prominent Chinese actor Yu Menglong, who fell from a fifth-floor window under mysterious circumstances shortly after attending a dinner party with influential industry figures, raises questions about the legitimacy of the police investigation and potential government censorship surrounding the case. With conflicting theories about the nature of his fall and concerns over the lack of accountability for those present at the party, public outcry persists regarding the transparency of the investigation and the government's role in suppressing discourse on social media.

Full transcript with timestamps

Bada bing, bada boom. September 11th, 2025, a very famous Chinese actor by the name of Yumang Long with over 25 million followers, he had performed in a series of hit dramas, and his career was only getting bigger. He suspiciously falls from the fifth floor of a high-rise building in Beijing, a residential building that he does not live in. There are so many questions. First of all, can you really die from falling from the fifth floor? And did he fall? Was he pushed? Was it a self-exit? Why are authorities investigating for approximately 12 hours before concluding that there was no foul play? He was allegedly at this very suspicious dinner party with industry professionals, including his manager, other well-known celebrities, industry investors. These are millionaire billionaires who fund these projects. The police don't investigate these people when he falls to his death from this fifth floor

window. The window itself has been a huge point of contention. It's just a window that you open and it has a mesh screen. That window is pretty tall, falling at 35 in tall. That's about waist height. So, how does he burst through this mesh net and then fall out the window? The police say it was a drunken accident. They say he got way too wasted and maybe he stumbled and maybe he fell through the net and then fell out the building. That's the only conclusion that we can come to. People obviously have questions, lots of questions, and the police don't want to answer anything. In fact, if you ask any of these questions on Chinese social media, your account is likely going to get suspended. You're likely going to get banned. So now, the biggest question people have are, why is the Chinese government censoring a celebrity's death? If the Chinese government has nothing to do with the celebrities

passing, why don't they just have the police investigate further? Why don't they investigate everyone at the dinner party? Why don't they look for CCTV camera at the residential complex? Who's connected to the government where they would have this type of power to censor everything? It's like overnight Yumang Long goes from being a beloved celebrity and actor to being an enemy of the state. Who's doing that? Well, people have a list. There is a list of 17 people going around. And this 17 person list, people are saying, "We have all these reasons of why we think they were present at the dinner party." And the first one to go down is a redhaired film director by the name of Chengq Chingsung. He's famously known for having like bright magenta looking. It's it's a very bad dye job, but he has bright red hair and I don't think that he has any particular works that are very standout. That's why people think

it's suspicious. How does he stay in business when he doesn't have any spectacular films? It doesn't make any sense. And he's very, very wealthy and he's very well-connected. People say he was at that dinner party and we know he was at that dinner party. Director Chang comes out and he says, "I feel very burdened by this accusation that I was at this so-called dinner party. First of all, guys, I don't know what you're talking about and I have the evidence to show that I was not there at that fifth floor unit in this Beijing high-rise. I was at dinner with a different friend of mine, Tang Hai. She is the widow of this billionaire Chinese businessman and she's a good friend of mine. And so, of course, we were at dinner. He posts these screenshots from WeChat, his text messages with Ting Hong to show, look, I wasn't there. I was at a different dinner party. The text messages read, "This is director Chang asking, "Are you

there yet?" Ting replies with a voice message. Okay, so WeChat is kind of like iMessage where if you respond with a voice message, you can convert it to text. And so he's converted to text so he can take a screenshot and show the people. Show the internet. This is our conversation. I'm not hiding anything from you. I was not at the dinner party where Yuang Long suspiciously died. Please stop connecting me there. Ting Hong responds, "Why are you there so early? I'm on the way. You can order a cup of coffee first at the lobby. I made a reservation inside the restaurant inside of the Bulgary Hotel, but just get some coffee in the lobby first. I'm going to be there soon." This is from September 10th around 6:30 p.m.

The night prior. Yes, the night prior. We still don't know what time Yumong allegedly fell to his death. We just know that he was found at around 6:00 in the morning by a neighbor who was walking the dog.

We don't really know anything else. He responds, "Well, I got here 40 minutes ago. Why'd you get there so early? Didn't we say that we were going to meet at 6:30? This timing is just Can you just sit and wait and take a break? There's a little bit of traffic here. I was working this afternoon. Yeah, no, it's okay. Tiing sends a heart emoji, a hug emoji, and she responds, you know, I'm coming from the airport, so the journey is quite long. And he responds, no rush. That's it. That's like the contents of this screenshot. And nizens think, "What does this even mean? What does this do? How is this an alibi?"

Text messages with your friend should not constitute as an alibi to a crime. People think it's weird that he's even posting this. And also, just because you meet someone at dinner at 6:30 p.m. doesn't mean you don't go anywhere else after. It doesn't prove that you even went to dinner with her. Because of how suspicious the messages are and the fact that he's releasing this as an alibi, people start going over and asking Tang Haiong, the widowerower of the billionaire, "Hey, can you talk about this?" Because like, what do you mean you were at the Bulgary Hotel with him?

Are you sure he's not lying? Are these real text messages? She comes out and she says, "I never wanted to explain myself to the internet." You know, I'm from an older generation. I don't really check the internet. I was told by family and friends that I'm getting roped up into this madness. I don't even know these people. I don't even know you, Ming. Let me tell you what happened. September 10th, I had dinner with a good friend of mine, Director Chang. Well, I thought was a good friend of mine. Okay, I don't know why he's dragging me into this mess now by posting these screenshots. He could have just said that he had dinner with a friend, but instead now my name is out there. My name is connected to this. I'm getting cyberbullied. My

Because people think she's also one of the 17 people now. Yes. Because they're like, "She's so rich. She's so wellconnected. She's always got her little fingers in the entertainment industry. She must have been at the dinner party, too."

Mhm. Like, what's who's to say that they even went to the Bulgary Hotel? Maybe they just went to the dinner party and they forged these messages. and she's saying, "I don't know what any of you guys are talking about. This is impacting my family. This cyber bullying is impacting my reality now. My family." So, I'm also going to post screenshots of the text messages that I had with Director Chang on September 10th. And I will point out something very strange. First of all, I think it's strange that he's pulling me into this madness. And second of all, I think it's very strange that he chose to delete this one text message that he sent me that night. Right before he told me no rush at the very end of the thread that he showed you guys on the internet, he had said I'm dealing with something.

No rush. So I'm dealing with something. No rush. He deleted I'm dealing with something. I'm just saying why lie to the internet? Like why drag me into this? That's all I'm saying. I'm just going to post my text messages out there. So netizens are like, "Okay, we've got the exact same text thread minus or plus one message from two different people from director Chang and now his buddy Ting Hong." So they're comparing these two sets of screenshots. Both of them are taken on an iPhone and both of them are very suspicious. This is like shooting your own foot. Now people have more ammo to study the different things, pieces of evidence out there. The first thing that they notice is that the audio messages when they're both converted to text, they have 16 characters per line, including spaces and punctuation. Typically on WeChat, it's 15 characters per line. People start sending their friends audio

messages, converting to text, taking screenshots, showing, hey, I have an iPhone. I probably have the exact same model. And it's 15 characters per line.

But other people are commenting, well, sometimes when you change the text size on your phone, you could maybe do 16. Sometimes it's like the screen size. If you have like the Pro, not the Pro Max or like, you know, it could change.

But people are like, "It's still it's still weird. Let's look for something else." And they find something else.

You know how WeChat or any other messaging app? It likes to refresh you on the time and date.

It'll say, even if you're in the midst of a conversation, it'll be like, "Well, now it's 10 minutes later, so I'm going to give you the time in the middle of the screen." Like, it's not like you have to slide to the right to see all these text messages. It's just right there in the middle of the screen.

Mhm. Well, they see that and they see all these different timestamps and they try to line them up and the colons of all the time stamps normally on WeChat are very consistent, very uniform. They're not matching anymore.

Some people suspect that it's photoshopped. The time is, you know, moved. And so people are like, "Now we have these two sets of text messages and both of you guys are suspicious." Because first of all, both of you guys have been suspicious from the get- go. Director Chang, he does not have a spectacular background. He does not have a spectacular reputation in the industry. People call him a creep like a Chester the Molester. As a film director, he does this thing where he just sexually harasses people. I will say that director Chang is openly gay and nobody really cares about that at all. I mean, I'm sure like any other country, there's some homophobic people, but truly nobody really cared. The only thing that people were upset about is that time and time again there would be these rumors, there would be these conversations, scandals that come out of director Changly harassing male models, male influencers

and male budding actors who want to get into the industry. And the way he does it is very stereotypically predatory of the industry. He would say, "You want a job? Let's go eat." Sometimes he would just find a male influencer that he finds attractive online and sexually harass them non-stop sending DMs like, "I'm hungry. I want to eat.

H, you know what I want? Do you like me? Do you want to meet up?" Saying very suspicious things, which I know why you're thinking that. Okay, it lines up because September 10th, that very night that this dinner party allegedly happens, he posts on Twitter one word, yummy. No context, nothing. That's why he's getting roped into this. Well, that and a lot of other reasons, but that's one of the big reasons. He's always had this very strong standing reputation of harassing young men. There was at one point he's 34 years old dating a 19-year-old and still that's already creepy. People kept saying that he's an an old cow that likes to eat fresh grass

because it's just it's very unsettling. But even while he's dating that 19-year-old, he would go online and harass other 18, 19year-old male models. People already don't like him. And the fact that he posts this alibi, it's just rubbing people the wrong way. You're not proving anything by sharing text messages with a friend and they're already suspicious. And Ting Hyong, people are coming for her, too. First of all, you have a billionaire husband, got arrested for moneyaundering. And then in prison, right before he gets out at the very young age of like he's in his 40s, he just drops dead in prison and then you inherit all of his money and then the rest of your life you just chase after seemingly young, allegedly young actors in the industry to date. That's the vibe that's always been a small reputation of hers that's been following her around. And so people don't like these people already. And these text

messages are not helping. What are you hiding? These two come out and they say, "You know what? I got you. I'm going to give you more information. Here are receipts. Here is a paper receipt of the Bulgary Hotel in which us two, we ate in for a table of two September 10th at around 6:47ish because, you know, we're the timing was I got there late cuz I was coming from the airport. You get it." So, they post a picture of this paper receipt sitting on a marble counter. And then to go along with that, they post a screenshot of their bank, their bank transaction that coincides with the date and with the exact amount for the Bulgaryy restaurant. So, they're like, "See, the money is coming from my bank, and I'm going to give you a screenshot of that."

Okay. A few things. You know, when you keep talking cuz you want to absolve yourself of any guilt, but the more these people are talking, the more guilty they seem. That's exactly what happens. At first, nizens are like, "Okay, that's a lot of receipts." But you look at the receipts, it's interesting. This receipts itself has been studied to hell and back. The itemized list shows three dishes, two sodas, and a portion of Italian cheese. It's a table for two at table 13 in the Bulgary Hotel restaurant. The grand total, including service charges and taxes, comes out to be $215.

Obviously, there are comments on how ridiculous it is to spend $215 on two people. But another thing that notice is the picture of this receipt. They're posting this like early October.

What does that mean? It's been a month since September 10th. It's been like weeks.

Uh-huh. And you're telling me the receipt looks pristine. It doesn't look wrinkled. It looks like it was just printed yesterday. M

it looks fresh off the roll, fresh off the printer, which is very strange because these two people, they're very wealthy. They don't seem like the type to save their receipts for bookkeeping. They don't seem like the type that's like, "Oh, that was a business dinner. I got to put it in my bookkeeping." They seem like the type that's like, "If it's under $10,000, I don't even need a receipt."

Yeah. But suddenly, you have the most pristine collection of receipts that is not crumpled that you don't just shove into your pocket or your purse. It doesn't make any sense. But the more damning piece of evidence is the receipt shows a time of 7:10 p.m. That's when the receipt is that's when the Okay, so it says time 7:10 p.m. At the very least, some people are interpreting it differently. It doesn't make sense that they would be done eating at 7:10 p.m. because their text messages they were supposed to meet at 6:30, but she's running so late.

And then also, it's a hotel. It's a fivestar hotel. any hotel regardless of the stars. But like the more stars, the more wait time at restaurants typically. They sit down, you get wine, you get drinks. Like it takes you're sitting there for 40 minutes chitchatting before your food comes out at the Bulgary Hotel.

You're they're speed eating like this is a Chipotle. It doesn't make any sense.

Well, this is when the tab is open, maybe. So that's the next thing. People are like, "Okay, this is when the tab is open." They start the order. They take the order at 7:10 p.m. Okay, put it into the system. And now it's probably going to take another 30 minutes for the food to come out. 7:36.

Mhm. So about 26 minutes later. Yeah. They're definitely not done eating. Mhm. Because again, if the food is put into the system at 7:10, let's say the fastest it comes out, I mean, 15 minutes later, what is that? That's 7:25.

Mhm. And then you're done at 7:36. I doubt it. There's no way. an Italian cheese plate, you're not scarfing cheese down like that. You're sitting there and you're talking. So, why is it at the very end of their text messages, you don't see the text message itself, but like I said, in the WeChat likes to float these little time markers when more text messages are sent. You just see this in the middle of the screen at the very bottom of the screenshot. 7:36 p.m.

There's a message. A message. So, it's them two sitting inside of this high-end restaurant in the Bulgary Hotel, texting each other at the same table.

H Why would they do that? Why would they do that? And why would they not show us the message then?

M Yeah. And then another thing, you know how we got those screenshots of the WeChat? It's very clear both of them, these screenshots come from an iPhone. Why is it that when they post their bank statement, it's an Android all of a sudden? The time, the battery marker, it's all Android interface. So, what does that mean? And what is the Bulgary Hotel have anything to do with this? This is probably the more complicated web of story lines that we've covered in a while where nothing can be taken as a fact, nothing can be confirmed, everything is alleged, but everything starts unraveling in a way that doesn't even make sense. videos start going viral of what appears to be Yuing Long being tortured inside of a Bulgary hotel. The same Bulgary hotel that these two allegedly had dinner at. Then these two, a lot of their history starts coming up and there are allegations that they're connected to not just Yumang

Long's passing, but to other famous celebrities passing. Yum's agency. In fact, there are now conversations of at least 10 different celebrities passing away under very suspicious circumstances from his exact same talent agency. And there's so many things that are very similar to his case. The police are closing the cases immediately. There's lots of rumors circulating. The police want to shut down all conversations. They don't want to reinvestigate. They don't want to disprove any rumors. They just wait until all of it quiets down and everyone forgets about it. This is part two of the Yumang loan case.

We would like to thank today's sponsors who have made it possible for Rotten Mango to support the New York Immigration Coalition.

A quick disclaimer, there are lots of sensitivities in this episode, brief mentions of self-exit, corruption, drugging, physical assault, essay, and a lot of um perhaps more political conversations that have been taking place. Um this is just a recap of all the different discourse online. This is not me taking a political stance against one nation or another,

especially when I have yet to visit a country. I I don't even think that I am in a position to take any judgments. But today's case does take place in China. We had our professional translators working almost around the clock to help gather the information for this case. And this case, I mean, if you haven't watched part one already, go watch that first because there's no way that I can even give you a full recap on it. But it is the most confusing case in the sense of there is nothing that is confirmed. There is nothing that we know to be definitively true. I mean categorically everything is alleged. Everything is a rumor. Even rumors are getting debunked.

There will be times where my researchers are like yes this is what happened. And then they'll call me in the middle of the night and be like that's not what happened. They just disproved it. Okay let me tell you. But then after people are disproving it other people don't believe in the disproving of the rumor. So there's like 20 different camps of people for every allegation, for every suspicious leak that's been out there. So the information in this episode is largely unverified, limited, constantly getting deleted, re-uploaded. I imagine this episode, I actually don't know if it will age well or not for the sole reason that with cases like this, we're very hesitant to talk about it because the last thing we want to do is spread an unconfirmed rumor or to indirectly accidentally cast light onto someone that may have no involvement. That's a huge fear of ours. But with this one, I just don't know if there will ever be a

time where the authorities will come out and give us any concrete information. And I think that what has happened with other celebrities that were part of Yumang Long's agency, people have just stopped the conversation because it's been years. And so this is what we know and this is what the online discourse is. But again, do your own research. Come to your own opinion. The only things that I can tell you with full confidence in this episode is that Yumang Long, a famous beloved Chinese actor, is dead. The facts around his death are suspicious. In my opinion, the government, the police are behaving even more suspiciously. And those are the only concrete facts that we really have.

I cannot confirm with certainty just about anything else. Nobody has been detained, convicted. Nobody has really spoken out to give any factbased information on why they're not related to this case or why they are. It's just everything is very hazy and legally speaking, his death has been ruled an accident. So, with that being said, we're going to go over all of the people that were allegedly involved and all the conspiracies that range from believable to kind of like a movie. They're really intense. There are times where I would get so sucked into a conspiracy while researching that I would have to take a moment to be like, "Wait, is this too crazy?" Like, am I going down a rabbit hole and believing in something too crazy? Because the sense is kind of there, but I've never seen stuff like this happen in real life. So is this just unhinged conspiracy theories? To that I just say there are times where

you have a conspiracy theory and the reality is not that dark. The conspiracy theory is like a combination of the top 10 movies of that year meshed into one giant aluminum tinfoil hat theory and the reality is a little bit more simple. And there are times where the reality is a lot darker than the conspiracy theories themselves and everything is a lot worse in reality than we ever thought. So, I don't know what the case is with this situation, but I'm going to go through all of it with you today. So, with that disclaimer, let's get started.

How do you know when a celebrity actually needs help? Even if they are saying things, how would you know if it's real? That has been the case with Yumang Long's last live streams. People have been pouring through his social media history. They've been going through his pictures, any of his tweets to see, is there something we're missing? And they have put together a series of clips. So, in part one, we went over they he looked like he had bruises on his eyes. It looked like he had these injuries that he was hiding with makeup when he was out and about and fans were taking pictures and videos of him, but in his own live streams, fans have found some very strange things. We don't know if these have been taken out of context, so take it with a grain of salt, but in one live stream, Yumang Long is wearing what appears to be a blue suit. He looks like he's working, and it just looks like he's

reading comments from his fans during the live stream. He kind of has his hand covering his mouth as he's reading the comments. And some people say it actually doesn't look like he's reading the comments. His eyes aren't necessarily moving left to right. They're not moving up and down. They're just kind of staring at the comments almost as if he's looking at the comments, but his attention is maybe elsewhere in the room. Like he's trying to listen in the room. He's trying to get a vibe of if anybody in the physical room with him is staring at him. And then eventually he says um puts his hand down. He says um while he's covering his mouth. Um puts his hand down and immediately mouths something before talking. And it sounds like a very breathy low. Save me.

You can barely hear him. You can see his lips moving. You can hear some breathiness. You It's kind of sounds like save me, but you don't really hear it. It sounds weird. And then immediately afterwards he starts voicing out his words like this. So it's like save me and then voicing out his words like this.

Just talking about normal things. Netzens have ripped this live stream apart saying is this a moment where he's reaching out for help because it doesn't make any sense. Why would he say save me like that? Others are saying no it's because the internet was lagging. So maybe his mouth and his voice weren't matching up and so his mouth looked like it was saying save me, but it wasn't. It was just not catching up to the sound. Other people are saying that doesn't make sense because I distinctively hear a save me. Then there are conversations that that breathy save me was edited in later by someone who wants this to go viral. So there is so much discourse around this live stream, but it doesn't help that there are just a lot of weird things that he did before his passing.

In the month of August, there are social media post after social media post where it seems like Yumang Long is unwell. In another live stream, he voices out the words, "Help me." A lot louder this time. His fans hear it, but they do nothing. Everyone assumed that he was talking about his network being bad. Right before this, he's talking about how his network connection is not the best and the live stream isn't really working well. And then he says, "Help me." And so people are wondering maybe he tried to play it off with whoever is in the room with him because the whole insinuation is that his agency, his manager are in control of him. There are people who believe that he has been held captive for a really long time that he's been doing work events. He's been live streaming while being held captive so that nobody is suspicious. They think that he's saying help me as in like maybe everyone in the room will think

that I'm talking about the network but I'm telling you help me. Then there is another moment that people have dissected. So I know in America we have the DV violence symbol for help. So if you are in a car and a police officer drives up or if you're in an airport and you're talking to a TSA gate agent, you have your open palm, all five fingers up like a high five. You tuck in your thumb and then you close your fist around your thumb. He has done that motion multiple times in his live streams. So he'll have five out and then he'll kind of tuck his thumb in covering his mouth and then he'll tuck it all the way in and do a fist and cover his mouth. He does it very naturally. So some people are wondering is this just a natural motion he does.

Mhm. And then in Chinese I think some people think it's 540 which in Chinese is sounds very similar to like I'm dead. So, it's like another signal that people are picking up.

There's also another poem that started going around and I I couldn't verify if this was exactly from him because I couldn't find any of the original sourcing. Neither could the rest of the team, but it seems like he was writing a poem about a rainy day and how he's learning some magic tricks. It's the most random poem. Even if I were to give you the translation for it, because of the way that the sentence structure in English and Chinese are so vastly different, it wouldn't make sense. But it felt very random in the sense of today's a rainy day. Don't forget your umbrella. I learned a new magic trick today. Like it's very out of nowhere.

Like the poem itself is not artistic. It doesn't make any sense. But people were saying if you take the first character of every single line of this poem, it says today they want me to die. And that has been circulating. So these are all the reasons that people think that he has been held captive for months. Which begs the question, who's keeping him captive? Why are they keeping him captive? September 11th, 2025, my sister-in-law actually opens up her Little Red Book app. Do you guys remember when Tik Tok was going to get banned in the US? It was a very bizarre side plot in the US timeline. Everybody starts posting dramatic goodbyes and then immediately downloading another app called Little Red Book. This is that app. In China, it's probably the more new, more foreigner friendly application. And then like doing is Chinese Tik Tok, the original Tik Tok.

But Xiao Shu is kind of like Pinterest, Instagram. It it's for younger people. Lots of foreigners love it. And she opens up the app and the first message that she gets is like, "Hello, are you aware of the content guidelines on this application? You are not to repost like negative celebrity trivial matters like please refer to the terms and conditions as a user. Click here to accept and close." It was the most bizarre out ofplace notification that she got to the point where she screenshotted it and sent it to her friends because she thought it was very strange.

And it wasn't because of like she was posting anything and getting like a a strike or another alert.

She doesn't post. This is like a mass notification to every single user, every single one.

And she is just confused. And everyone is like, "Oh, this has to do with Yu Ming Long." Because September 11th, 2025, the same day that Yuming Long has is found deceased at the end at the bottom of the building, the cyerspace administration of China demands a meeting with the executives of Little Red Book. The purpose of the discussion is your trending list. The trending list with the users and your algorithms decide to push more out into the ether. They're saying you guys frequently have celebrity personal dynamics, interpersonal relationships between high-profile people. It's just trivial. It's trivial nonsensical matters that really impact the online ecology and it's the ecosystem of the younger generations online. This is not good. They should focus on things that really matter. This is actually a thing.

The cyerspace administration of China, they were the ones to ban feminine men. That was like a thing. They didn't really want a lot of what you would call pretty boy celebrities, which is like a bigger thing in East Asia, Korea as well, because they felt like it was instilling weak values in the men in China. So overnight, all these idols that fit that category were scared to get banned. So they're like posting workout videos in the gym. They're saying like, "We are trying to cultivate the perfect ecosystem to influence the entire nation in a positive way." And all of this gossip about celebrity drama is not going to be good. And this gossip that they're talking about is the death of Yumang Long. Later, anyone online questioning the cause of Yumang Long's death on Little Red Note were automatically getting deleted, banned, and suspended. But people have gone to threads, they've gone to Twitter,

they've gone to all these different foreign social media platforms to come up with what they believe happened. And it actually starts way way before September 10th or September 11th. They go all the way back into August. They start analyzing all of Yumang Long's live streams like I was talking about, but they also start going through all of his public performances, his public appearances. And it's around the beginning of August that you start to see a massive decline in what appears to be his mental state and physical state.

That is what people are saying online. I don't personally know any of these people. So, what presents in a video could not be what's happening in reality, but it does look suspicious. So, this is where the series of the bruising of the face is showing up. And then also, he just looks incredibly skinny and frail. Prior to this, when he is at work events or even when he's traveling, he's never really the most outgoing extroverted person, but he's very attentive to his fans. But during the month of August, any fan meetings he has where people are running into him and recording him, he seems really disassociating. He seems like he's trying to have a conversation, but he's not really there. That's how everyone is describing it. He's still posting on Waybo, but nothing in particular.

Perhaps just a series of travel photos, and most of it is not even of him. Most of it includes shots of plants and like serene backgrounds, but we don't even know if he's traveling. This could have all been taken in Beijing. So, it seems like since August, he has been held captive until September. That is the theory that's been going around. His managers, his agency, all of these higherup people have been holding him hostage. They have someone watching his every move. They're watching him live stream. They're watching everything he posts. They have access to his phone and they're trying to get something out of him. What are they trying to get out of him? Everyone points to 9 years ago.

a famous singer that I know by the name of Kim but children. Yes. So he passed away not in years ago from the same agency and people think that there is a connection because even when Kimmy passed there were lots of conversations around it seems like he had there were conspiracies that he had pissed off higherups that he had rejected somebody that wanted to do something sexual with him and they were trying to blackball him and eventually it led to his passing. There were a lot of different theories running around and the police, the authorities, they were very hush- hush about it. Everything pretty much gets closed down. It's very similar to what's happening with Yumang Long. A lot of people believe that they have the same manager. So, people start going online and they start typing into different search bars. Do they have the same manager? Do Kimmy and Yumong have the same manager? And these search bars

would say yes, they do. They have the exact same manager. Going AI. Yeah. It's like the AI generated search which like I know how we feel about AI but like you know it's the AI generated search people are looking at it and they go okay so they have the same manager I mean there's no proof right there's no like no one's going into the company records but that's what Dying is saying the very next day after all of this blows up people are reposting it on threads on Twitter you go back to Doying and you ask do they have the same manager suddenly it's no

Mhm. The answer has shot it side by side. It's so weird. I would say like most of these search platforms when they use the AI feature, it's not very accurate. Like accuracy is not the name of the game with these top searches. Like even like the Google AI overview, it's like most people say it's not accurate, right? But with this to change it the next day is weird because they just leave up the inaccurate information. They don't go ahead and change it.

So why would they change it? Who would call to have it changed? people start digging into the manager and we mentioned in part one of this entire case, the manager does not seem to have an entertainment background. There are rumors that he is part of an organized crime syndicate. He's just hired muscles. People say that he is more a I would say Hitman is maybe taking it too far, but like the cleanup the cleanup of organized crime. You got a dirty job on your hands. This is the guy that you call. and they are very closely intertwined with a lot of powerful executives and investors. He was hired into the company as yes a manager but really his formal occupation would just be to watch over these subjects to make sure that they're not stepping out of line to make sure that they're not saying anything to make sure everything goes as normal. I will say this manager is also a very strange guy. If you dig

into his old post there are um he likes to post all of these people like to post weird things. They love trying to be edgy artsy, but it's not it's just uncomfortable. It's just very scary. He likes to post a series of photos where it shows a man saran wrapped to a table. It looks like an episode of like a a serial killer show. So, you got

actual person. Well, that's what it looks like in the first three photos. Okay.

And it looks like a person saran wrapped to an operation table, like a steel table. And then someone is grabbing his head in one photo. So, it looks like he's about to get a head massage. And then all of a sudden a knife appears and they cut this man's head into six different sections. It looks like a cake. It's like a is it cake video. And then those four pieces are like ar the pieces of his head are arranged on a plate. It's clearly not a real person. It's clearly either some sort of sculpture or AI generated art or drawing or something. But his whole caption with that is something that is whole can be cut into pieces, but those pieces can never be whole again. And so people think this guy, this manager is just weird. We don't really know anything about this man. We don't know how he got into the role of being Yuang Long's manager. We don't know much about him.

All we know is that he likes to post these types of things. So people believe that the person that lured Yumang Long to the party, the dinner party that night is the manager. They think that Yumang Long is not one to go out with any of these people. He's not one to go on any of these drinking meetings with investors. He's someone that likes to very much follow the rules. He likes to stay home. He likes to cook with his two dogs. He has a corgi and a French bulldog. He's a very big homebody that just works hard. He's not someone that likes to really go out to dinner and get drunk with other celebrities. Not that anything's particularly wrong with that, but he would not have showed up to a dinner party unless his manager had invited him. So he gets lured to this apartment by his manager and there's a bunch of investors, bunch of big business partners that are there and they all want to sleep with Yum, Manglo.

Over the past 10 years, at least nine other artists have died under very strange circumstances from this same agency and that's why they believe the manager is heavily involved. With the nine others, sometimes the cause of death is listed as self-exit, sometimes it's an accident, but always netizens have questions about them. And I don't think it's a situation where nizens just cannot grasp the idea of one of their beloved celebrities having depression. It just there's no answers to any of these. It just doesn't make any sense.

And the whole agency itself is very suspicious. They say the format of the agency, and we kind of touched upon it on episode one, is that it's a government-run state agency. You can't sue them. This is like suing the government. And if you think suing the United States of America is hard, probably suing China is not even a viable option for anybody, it just doesn't make sense. So this government agency will go around and mass sign a bunch of talent. After the end of a talent reality show, they'll go and sign 20 new people and then they'll pick one or two. They're going to make them really famous. The other ones, they're just going to hold them hostage, freeze their careers, refrigerate their careers. That's how they refer to it allegedly. Yes.

Theories. Theories. and then they they can't get out. Out of those maybe 18 celebrities left, maybe half of them come from really well-off families because it's it's hard to get into the celebrity world, into the entertainment business without some sort of funding and backing. So these celebrities families will say, "You know what? I just want out of this contract. So I'm going to pay whatever crazy fee you want me to pay and I need to leave. I need to go sign with someone who's actually going to invest resources into my career." So they sign the contract and they leave and then you have a handful of people left. These are people that come from backgrounds where they can't afford a breakup fee. Those termination fees are like millions of dollars. With Yumang Long, it was 30 million. They can't afford that. Like they would be in debt for the rest of their lives and the next life. It wouldn't make sense. So they

can't do anything. They can't sue the agency for not giving them what they were promised. They can't get out of the agency and find work elsewhere. So they're just stuck. So what do they do when they're stuck? This is when investors can come and decide if they like you. These people are considered free-for-all play things. They will open up shell company allegedly open up shell companies in their name to launder money. These massive investors and business owners will launder money through their names. Other times they will use them as victims for their sexual fantasies. Allegedly that has been the rumor. But it is true that there were companies open in their name that's stealing firearms and military weaponry.

Yeah. So that seems pretty much confirmed. Um Yumang Long had multiple shell companies in his name and all of them were pertaining to military contract sales and this is not someone who would money. None of the money was going back into his accounts. It's going in and out and you're talking about millions, tens of millions of dollars. And he isn't seeing any of that money. He doesn't know anything about the military, but it's getting laundered in his name. There is a very famous Chinese celebrity by the name of Yangmi. We've talked about her briefly on our other podcast, Moral of the Story, and she's massive. She's probably one of the biggest stars in China. She worked on Eternal Love with with Yuming Long, and she has her own agency, and it seems like they have a very sibling dynamic. I mean, they played siblings, but they also have one in real life, like sibling dynamic. Wait a minute.

She traveled to Beijing at least three separate times with the sole intention of signing Yu Mang Long

really and the agency would just not let him go. I think that she knew that they were not putting enough resources into him and she wanted to help him. I don't know if she knew anything deeper. I'm not saying that she knows anything sinister, but I think that she was like, he's not getting enough roles as he deserves. I think I could do a lot more for him. Company would not let him go. And this company is not really doing anything for his career either. And it seems like if this is what the company is doing, because they're a state-run agency, they could theoretically get away with it.

Remember how I said there were nine other people in the past decade that suspiciously passed in this company? Just to give you an idea, one of them is a female artist who ends up, this is what the police say happened. She took off all her clothes, got completely naked, and then jumped to her death. That this was a self-exit. A female celebrity who is pretty much probably always objectified online being vulnerable in a very vulnerable situation psychologically is then going to take off all her clothes and then plummet to her passing so that she can be photographed in the nude so that people can objectify her more so that people can sell these photos. Like it just doesn't make any sense. But anytime people tried to ask those questions they were getting deleted. Another signed talent is a newscaster. He died in an accident and his mom later came out to say that the police told her that she

needs to sign a document that her son did drugs, was high, and fell off the building or she could not see her son and her son could not be released back into her custody. People believe that with each passing and with each suspicious circumstance that there are a handful of people that seem to consistently show up in those moments. The first one is a man by the name of Shinchi. Shinchi has been an enigma in the entertainment industry for a very long time because everyone is like, I don't know how this man came up. I don't know what kind of funding he has, but he's very wellconed politically.

November 2018, Shinshi is 27 years old. He becomes the chairman of the China National Electric Investment Group's new energy company. The chairman chairman 27 years old. This is a governmentrun entity. Meaning, how would a 27-year-old be appointed that position unless he has absolutely incredibly strong, powerful people in the ranks that are handing him these positions, aka he's a political nepo baby. If he were just really smart and capable, even if he were to follow the route of getting into government, nobody would promote a 27year-old for being outstanding. Politics has hierarchies, legacies, seniority, favoritism. They're not just going to give him a position for being the most capable, which I don't think he is regardless. Which means, who the hell is Shinchi? He goes from being the chairman of this state-run investment group to suddenly being like a film producer. He just makes movies. He invests in movies. He's

like a major name in the entertainment industry. How How do you even break out like that? Again, you go from that investment group chairman to the entertainment industry and you're succeeding across all fronts. And when you look into his past, nobody can find his family history. He doesn't talk much about his childhood. Who is he? Who are his parents? Because you can only get these types of positions if your parents have high up government positions. One insider from the industry spoke out and anonymously told a reporter online like do whatever you want with this information, but he's connected to top party leaders. He's got strong ties with the leaders of CCTV, which is the state-run TV agency, the governmentr run TV network, news network. And weirdly, anytime you hop on a call with this guy, he uses a number that doesn't even route back to him. It's like, you know, you see the caller ID, but it's not him.

Like, you don't see Shini. It's weird. Like, it's just like this other guy's name. So, it seems like a fake number, and they are able to pull up that number because I guess this insider has had conversations with him. This number is linked to at least 99 companies registered. When you register a business, you have to have a phone number that goes along with it. It's this number that's mainly used. And this number is also connected to Yumong's shell companies.

Really? So everyone's saying, okay, Shingchi seems to be, if this is true, if all of this information is not faked, not AI generated somehow, not edited with absolute perfection, and these are real tips given to real reporters, then yes, it seems like there is a connection between these shell companies, Shini, whoever that man is, and Yumang Long. But that's not the only connection. Shinchi has been Yumang Long's top fan for years. Top fan in China is a little bit different from maybe America. Top fan does not typically mean you love the celebrity the most. You're the number one fan. It typically means you are the fan with the most power. You can buy billboards. You've got money. You've got connections. You are a highly influential fan. You can make things happen for your favorite celebrity because you yourself have power. That's what they call a top fan. Shini has been Yumang Long's top fan for years. He

actually runs Yumang Long's fan club. It's crazy. Wow. And he is reported to be gay and he seems to have some sort of crush or some sort of infatuation with Yumang Long has been the conspiracy online. And again, I don't think that I need to be the one to give you a disclaimer, but sexual orientation has no correlation with someone's ability to commit a crime or to be a vile person. I mean, I think if you look at most episodes on this channel, straight people commit so many heinous crimes. Like I if you're trying to use this as a way to be homophobic, you should try a different video.

Nothing on our channel. But people think that he had this infatuation with Yumang Long and has been trying to get Yumang Long to consent and to do sexual things for him, sexual favors. And the best way to do that is to stunt his career growth. So after all of the big hit dramas that he was in around 2020 to 2023, Yumang Long is off the radar. He goes into the village to teach children. He's basically starving. He comes back and he jokes that he has no money for food. Now, we know it probably wasn't a joke, but for those three years, it is believed that Shinshi and at least another very wealthy, influential person wanted to get Yumang Long and he was refusing. So, they completely halted his career. I think it sounds like a very big conspiracy, but the thing to remember is for these people, if this were to be true, it's not much. It's just vengeful. It's like, okay, fine.

You don't want to sleep with me, then you're not gonna get a job. Yeah. I mean, and also, you look at his career.

How could you going from doing such big drama with Young Me? Yeah. With Yummy. Yeah. Like the these are crazy breakout roles and then boom

off TV for 3 years. Something happened, you know. And it's not like he was trying and nothing was happening. It's like, oh, that was a flop. It wasn't. He was just gone. He was gone. And so people think Shinchi is one of those people that wanted to get something from him and it wasn't working. And another thing to add to this is there have been reports that from beginning of August, some people even say in the month of July, there were lots of leaked blind items from the paparazzi saying that hey there is a very big actor that was in uh Eternal Love. Now, to be fair, Eternal Love has a lot of big names, but he was in Eternal Love and we got news of a major scandal from him.

Yeah. I think they say like a celebrity found the show with 25 million followers, which I mean, come on. How many exactly 25 million? Who are we talking about? Yeah. And people were saying that these executives, these higherups are leaking this information to the paparazzi as another way to threaten Yubang Long and say, "See, we not only have power over your career, we can also ruin your whole career." Like, we can just take you off the screens, yes, but we can make you a very bad person online as well. And so, this is just adding more and more pressure. So, people believe that Shini was one of the ones that really wanted to sleep with Yumang Long, and they believe that he was there at that dinner party that night. And just to give you an idea about these dinner parties, a lot of Chinese celebrities have seemingly spoken up about this. And it's kind of the same in East Asian culture. I'm sure

Korean culture as well. Not just in the entertainment industry, even just the business world. You want to get a business deal done, you got to go get drunk. You got to go to Oh shake. Like you have to go and pour alcohol for these higherups to get a deal signed. There's this very viable clip of Tal from EXO. He is now in China. He also recently got married, I believe. He was talking about this was from years ago. He was screaming like getting very riled up in a live stream and he said, "I have my own agency and if you tell me my employees, my talent have to go do a business deal and they have to drink something, then get the [ __ ] out. I don't need your money. We don't need you. We don't need your stupid deals."

Like, no. I'm not letting them put their health in jeopardy. And I think he was saying health as in like because you have to get like blackout drunk and that level of alcohol is not good. But people have been recirculating this clip by saying maybe health could mean other things. We don't think that's what he meant, but they're saying like we just don't know how dark it gets when people get that drunk. We don't know how many people could get taken advantage of. So, it does seem like this is a very normal thing that happens, at least these drinking parties. The reason that Shini is important to this though is a lot of people believe the moneyaundering is all connected to him. He had opened up the shell companies in Yumang Long's name.

He wants to sleep with Yumang Long and he also has this very shady LinkedIn profile, if you will. How do you go from being nobody to being the chairman of this state-run massive investment group to being this very famous producer and director and doing all of these things in the entertainment industry? Nobody knows who your parents are. So there are rumors that he is the illegitimate child of the head of state of the entire nation because even if he, you know, there were previous rumors circulating that maybe he was the illegitimate son of one of the poly bureau members which are like the top 25 most powerful people in the nation. But a lot of people are saying there's no way that the head of state would not just let them go down for it because this looks bad ultimately on the head of state. It doesn't look bad on everyone.

And it looks I mean ultimately when you have one person at the top like anyone most nations have a president you know it just looks bad on that person. They they're the first to be blamed. So why would they go down for a random person's son in the top 25 most powerful politicians? At the end of the day he's the most powerful. Why would he go down for him? So they think that this guy Shini is connected is the illegitimate son of the head of state of the entire nation. And there have been rumors circulating prior to this. And these I will say are rumors that a lot of people who these are people who very much dislike the government system in China.

These are people who are very outspoken about that and that's their right. Right. But they're very anti-CCCP and they have been saying for months prior to this that there have been lots of rumors and they believe to be true that the head of state has been embezzling money through military contracts, right? which is I mean I think that's a thing that a lot of different heads of state have been accused of but they're accusing him of doing that and they're saying now with this with these military shell companies maybe it's all connected maybe this is the illegitimate son who's funneling and money laundering through this celebrity and then maybe long finds out and wants to put an end to it or wants to go public with this information and now he must die and now it's going to get covered up because it's not even just about Yumang Long's death anymore it's about a whole system. And just to give you an idea, if you run this phone

number, um, Netisonens have been able to pull up other companies that are with the same phone number that allegedly belong to Shinshi. And one of the companies has been operating for 5 years. They have zero payroll employees. Zero employees. And they generate $630 million in revenue.

Dang. In the past 5 years. Wow. its logo probably reads not money laundering at that point because I mean that's money laundering to give you an idea other businesses who generate that kind of revenue around even 100 million a year they will employ on average at the very least 100 people but typically on the a th000 people end generate that with zero payroll employees but they're saying that these different companies all 99 of them are so profitable even though nobody's running them they're just printing money at this Right? It doesn't make any sense. These are the allegations. I don't know. I don't have the paperwork in hand. I am not someone who can certify such legal paperwork.

So, I don't know if this paperwork has been edited and reposted online. I don't know. But that same number can also be traced back to another very well-known celebrity.

And this she has been connected to this dinner party many of times through many of different pieces of evidence. Sonia Ren is a small-time actress. She was on this reality show called Everyone Stand By, which I did a whole Mottz episode on. It's like a famous Chinese acting reality show where the premise of the show is you gather a group of acting professionals. Most of them are newcomers or they had their heyday and now maybe they're falling off a little bit. They get booked onto this show and they're doing skits, mini dramas, and they're doing improv acting. And you have this panel of judges of worldrenowned actors who are going on to judge their acting ability, not just their influencer count, like genuine their profession. And she was the She actually made me cry.

That's crazy, right? Thinking back. Yeah. They had this um they called it performance city and all of the contestants were to go into this massive fake city and they could go through the costume department and dress up in whatever their character were to be. and the judges would walk around while they're improving these different character storylines. She chose one that was very emotionally gripping. A lot of the other characters, they were couples who were fighting or selling peas and selling all these other like street vendors and none of it was that particularly good. She was very smart and she was very believable. So, she dressed up in what I guess you would call back in the day like a beggar and she had a sign up

on her sign that she held up above her head. There's misspelling of a word, but she did it on purpose to show that she's undereducated as this character

and it was really well done. Uh, she never broke character. It was freezing cold in there and she was shivering because she was that dedicated to the charact. I cried watching that cuz I just felt like it was so good. That's her. She has been placed at the scene of the crime. Whether it's true or not, I'm just going to give you what people have found online. There have been rumors circulating long before she was even on that show that I didn't know about. But they said that Sunong Ren's personal and professional lives were vastly different. They were just saying it's weird. They said online her career is very much girl nextdoor, soft girl image. Oh, I've never seen anything inappropriate. Like that was that was always strongly associated with her. But sometimes other co-stars and other friends would talk about her and they would let it slip that her nickname for a really long time was

what does that mean specifically? It's like a the bad kids in school. She's like the head of it. The bully in in Kore drama.

Yes. Like that's the vibe. Okay. Yes. Yeah. I our researchers were having a hard time trying to describe it too. Um one of them said it's like the direct translation would be like little bad girl. Others were saying, "No, it's like like head bully."

Head bully. Yes. Like head bully girl is the vibe. Like it's just not a It's actually very mean. It's not a nice You don't get pride from being called that. But Sony Ren actually went on a live stream once and said, "Yeah, like that's what I used to be called, but that's when I was young. I've grown up. I don't do that anymore. I was out there drinking, clubbing, partying every day. I dyed my hair blonde, but I don't do that anymore because that's what I did when I was young." which has been a huge debate online with some people saying actually I went to school with her because she went to school abroad in Canada and she smoking, drinking, and dying her hair was the least crazy thing she did. She actually went around bragging to all of the people at our school that she slept with 50 different guys. She was 17 at the time. It's just what an internet user has alleged. But there has always

been this very subtle clashing of people saying she's so different off camera. Nothing fits her online persona. Even former alleged classmates came out and said, "Look, I'm not gonna badmouth her. I'm not gonna say anything bad, but all I will say is don't believe in celebrity personas because they're all fake." One of Seung's biggest scandals was last year in 2024 and paparazzi caught her going to a bath house with three guys, like a sauna. Okay, bath house seems like a sauna. And I think the biggest part that people were thought was so scandalous was she's touching the abs of the first guy. So she'd be like talking, they're out on the street, and then she'd kind of place her hand on his chest, and then she would hold the wrist of another guy walking. And then later that night, there was another third guy, and she was spotted touching his arm.

They dramatically described this as feeling him up, feeling him down, just groping, caressing. I mean, nevertheless, it was a pretty interesting, unique, scandalous situation for a female celebrity in China to be caught photographed in, especially someone who presents herself as this very innocent, soft girl next door. So, a new theory has come about recently that Sunn is a madam.

She befriended Yuang Long in an effort to finally seal the deal and get Shinchi, the powerful executive, what he wants, which is Yumang Long. She's going to lure her friend. So people are saying that she is the madam. She is an actress. So she rubs shoulders with all these actors and actresses. She befriends them. She has this very disarming personality. And then she's like, "You know what? Come out. Come come come hang out with me. Come to my place." And at her place they'll be introduced to an executive who has always had their eyes on them. And she knows this because she is the middleman.

And she's like, "Oh my gosh, you guys should meet. Oh, this is oh, this is an investor. Blah blah blah. Why don't you come to this dinner party? They're pouring drinks. There are further conspiracies and allegations that perhaps the drinks are drugged. Perhaps it's fullon essay. Other times, people are saying she's just the middleman connecting these two parties and hopefully it's consensual most of the time. But clearly, if that were the case with Mangong, that's not what's happening. But they think that she is a madam. They think that that must be the way she makes money. Because here's an interesting discovery that it's been made. Seen, she lives in the same apartment complex as where Yumang Long passes away. But she doesn't just live in the same apartment complex. She lives in the same building from which he allegedly falls to his death.

And there's more about that. She claims that she moved out 9 months ago. She said, "Yeah, I did live there, but I moved out 9 months ago." So, yeah, I did live in that building. I mean, there's pictures of her posing in that building. There's selfies she's taken. There's like this one picture where she's holding a giant acorn and it's like building 18. And again, it could be photoshopped, but she has said, "I moved out nine months ago." So, we don't know if maybe the building number was photoshopped and maybe it was a different building, but it it doesn't seem like it seems like it was that building.

There are other allegations that she never moved out. And there are other photos circulating of an apartment unit where in East Asia, there's a lot of times where you just hang dry your clothes. So, you get one of those like drying tables and it's up against the window of one of the apartment units and there's this blue dress shirt and white pants that are hangrying in front of the window. Someone had snapped a photo of it for whatever reason and they believe that those clothes belong to Yuming Long because he was photographed wearing similar clothes. And they think that for the past month before his death, he was being bounced around somewhat being held captive. not necessarily chained up, not necessarily like I'm going to tie you up so you can't leave, but being watched and held captive under likely verbal threats, like if you try to leave, I'm going to ruin your career. So, it's not like the door is padlocked, but perhaps

he can't. And um they think that Sunn was one of the people holding him captive. I do think that this conspiracy theory does get crazier and crazier, but one thing to note is a lot of people were confused. She's on an acting competition show. She's not a major celebrity. She's a small-time actress. How can she afford to live in an apartment building like this to even begin with? So, people think, well, that's because she makes her money not from being an actress, but from being a madam, right? That's what people think.

But they still are wondering, okay, let's say she's a madam. She gets money from these executives. She tries to force all these other celebrities into sleeping with executives. That still doesn't explain why she wouldn't be the fall guy. Cuz people are like, let's be real, if there's executives involved and she is just a madam, she'd be the fall guy. There would be some sort of narrative of she got jealous, she pushed him, or she was the only one at that dinner party left, everybody already left, and then they got drunk, maybe they were doing drugs, like she would be the fall guy because there's so much suspicion. Why not have a fall guy? So there comes the suspicion that her parents are very well connected. She moved to Canada when she was young. Her dad was a professor and in the medical field. I believe he's a doctor and then at one point he was teaching. But her mom was in marketing, which is very

vague, but in Canada, she went on to have this huge company where the distribution to that company, and it's very vague what the company even does, but they had tens of millions of dollars in sales within like the first few years of opening up. And people say, "You don't do that just by being talented. You do that by being very wellconed, by being politically connected. She has had multiple talks and conversations with business leaders and government officials who run business sectors for like international trade and foreign trade and international businesses.

There are rumors that she's also very close with the first lady of China. I don't know. I've never seen a picture of them together. Sunn's mother

is very close. This literally could just be someone tweeting random whatever they can think of and hallucinate in their brain from across the sea. I don't know. Or it could be true. Or there could be 10% truth. I don't know. But I think people are saying there's no way that she wouldn't be a fall guy unless her parents are also wellconed.

I know she currently is so majorly hated across the board all over China. And it's not just because she lives or maybe previously lived in the same apartment. Um there's a lot of other things. The things tying her to that night is her phone strap. She's initially placed on this list of 17 people because she posted a ton of pictures outside the building living in that same building where Yumang Long passes away. But also, there are these selfies where she's pretending to be on the phone. I don't know if she's promoting the phone, her phone strap, her face, I don't know, but it's like pretending to be on a phone and she's posing with her phone and her phone has the world's largest blue ribbon phone strap. I don't even know if it could be called a phone strap. It's like a giant dangling blue ribbon. It's like putting a laboo on your phone.

It's that big. It's just huge. It's a charm, right? Yeah. It's a massive charm.

And that's what it looks like. Now, eventually a series of peepphole videos start making the rounds. And I call them peeppole videos because it appears that someone is inside their apartment unit filming through their peepphole. When people are walking in the hallway, you just see shadows. You just see figures. It looks like a horror movie. You don't really see the people even though they're on the other side of the door. people videos go viral and it sounds like a man crying and you see these figures ushering this man down the hallway and then behind them is a woman on her phone and it looks like she's filming them because her phone is propped up all the way up and there's just no reason for her to be holding her phone like that unless she's trying to get a signal. So it looks like she's filming them and the phone shadow on this wall has this giant lanyard attached to it and people think that

looks like the phone strap that Ren was showing off otherwise what the hell is that shadow? Now, I will say a lot of people have more or less debunked these peole videos. They were posted by a Thai woman September 16th of 2025. So, technically the timeline makes sense in that it was posted after Yumang Long's death because there are a lot of other leaked videos that people found the original videos to have been posted before his passing. So, it's it wouldn't make sense because I mean time just doesn't work like that. But timeline wise, it makes sense. However, a lot of people are saying you can clearly see that this was not in China. You can clearly see that this is not in Beijing.

Other people are saying this Thai woman like she has nothing to do with this case. If you look at her other previous videos, it has nothing to do with her. But even that has been debunked. So people are arguing, well actually we don't know that. We don't know any of that. The person who posted it hasn't come forward to say that. If you want to muddy the waters of a conspiracy, what would you do? Pump out other stuff.

Pump out more conspiracies. Make it so crazy that nobody knows what's true and what's not true. Others are saying, "Well, the Thai woman posted it because she might have friends in China who are like, I don't know what to do with this video because I can't post it. You got to post it." It doesn't really matter if the video is true or not because I think the circumstances around his death are suspicious enough. I think even if videos are getting debunked left and right, I don't think that should make anyone feel like his death was a drunk accident like the police claim unless there is factual information, evidence that comes out that says he was. I think that this feels like we could go in a loop. You know, people are saying, "Well, obviously maybe the government is spreading misinformation because if they spread such crazy misinformation and then they debunk it, then it's like, oh, now all the information must be fake or

it must all be crazy." Or sometimes people think the government could be spreading this conspiracy to get even more outlandish because the general population is not going to believe that aliens came down from the skies to do something. So they they think there's a lot of cat and mouse between even the censoring party and the censored people, but I don't know. Starring Academy Award winner Patricia Arette and Jason Clark. Murdoch Death in the Family is the new Hulu original series that explores the unraveling of a southern dynasty through a deadly boat crash, double homicide, and a massive embezzlement scheme. Inspired by shocking actual events, the dramatized series draws from reporting by Mandy Matney, creator of the popular podcast that followed one of the most twisted crime sagas in recent history. This gripping series brings the drama to life like never before. It's a story of secrets, deception, and murder. Watch

the Hulu original series Murdoch, Death in the Family, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers. Terms apply. However, if we have to go with the safest option, which is let's say the peole videos are in fact completely debunked. They do not exist or they don't exist in the context of this case. This is not Yuming Long. This has nothing to do with this case. It's just a random video that has been connected. Let's say that's the truth. Then what connects Tong Ren to this entire incident other than the fact that she may or may not have lived in the same building? She may or may not have moved out nine months ago. There's lots of celebrities that live inside of this apartment complex. What places her at this dinner party? August 10th, she uploads a series of photos. So, this is exactly 1 month before Yu Mang Long's passing. And I don't think that she knew this. It's clear that she doesn't

because you know when you upload photos, you can upload live photos and when people click on them, it's like that awkward 3 seconds of motion and you can hear some things in the background. There's a lot of selfies of her where I don't know, maybe it's an artistic choice, but I would just never upload those of live photos. It's not cool. It she just looks like she's posing very awkwardly. And then she posts a series of them. So, some of them are selfies of her, some of them are photos of all the food that she's been eating. And you can hear people in the background. They're like mini little videos. The first one that has been a giant point of contention is of her taking pictures of food. And she's talking while taking this picture. And you hear her saying, "He keeps resisting. He's still resisting."

Resisting what? Who is he? Mhm. Then another live photo, you can hear near the end, it sounds like someone saying, "It's painful or what?" Like it's hurt. It's hurting or what? It sounds a little aggressive is what people say. And then there's almost like this uh smack noise right before it. Like it's painful or what?

Now, some people are saying it doesn't sound like it's painful or what. It kind of maybe sounds like hurting. It people are pointing out you can kind of hear pain or some variation of hurt and some variation of a slap. It's not entirely clear, but you can almost also hear someone say no or something along that line. This has been a huge point of contention. Now, in another live photo, people think that someone in the back is saying, "Why did you kidnap Long," which is Yuang Long's nickname.

I will say that one is a little bit more debatable as people are saying, "Well, I don't hear it." Some people are saying, "I absolutely hear it." It's been back and forth. But the he keeps resisting one, it's clear.

That one is crazy. The audio is like as clear as this podcast. And there's another picture that has also been in that little photo dump timeline is um she's at a sushi restaurant and you see a little cloth on top of someone's phone. And that phone is very specific. It's an iPhone with this silicone orange phone case on it. And that same month, Yumang Long took a picture. Someone's taking a picture of him taking a picture and it's the same phone case. I've never seen one singular person outside of Yu Mang Long have this specific phone case.

No, because the new iPhone is orange. So, that's common. But this is before the new iPhone came out, which is very uncommon to see someone have a orange bright orange phone.

It's like a orange juice color silicone phone case. So, it's like a very specific texture. It's a very specific look. and it's sitting on the table and there's a little like rolled hand towel on top of it which makes people believe that he's still resisting. He doesn't have control over his phone. They took his phone and they're slapping him around to do whatever it means. These are the live photos that make Sun Ren part of the 17 list. Now, she does go back and she edits this original post. These pictures are still boldly up. I mean, I don't know if it's just maybe she thinks it makes her look less guilty if she doesn't take it down, but they're still up. The comments read, "This is the most popular Sunong Ren will ever be." Who are you talking about resisting? Who's resisting? Huh?

Explain. Who is resisting? Others are commenting, "Hell is empty because all the demons are here." Netzens also report that Ren has a personal alternate account on Waybo where she allegedly starts asking people who are questioning her online. Let's say Ren, someone's commenting, Ren, why are you doing this? Why were you there? Tell us why are you so evil? And then this random account that people have connected with Ren keeps commenting. What are you to the person who hates Hung? What are you? If you don't want your personal information exposed, be good. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.

Damn. It's unclear if this account is truly hers and if these messages were actually sent. We don't even really know where she is right now. Clearly, she has not been detained. She has not been really questioned. Sometimes her social media accounts IP show that her location is in Djangu, China. Other times, it shows Japan. So, people were very briefly confused like, is she fleeing the country? Did she flee to Japan to try and get away from all of this or is she changing her VPN so that she can throw people off from her location? Sunn has come out to state that she has nothing to do with any of this. In her statement, she says, "Recently, I've been bombarded with online rumors accusing me of introducing these big bosses to entertainers and luring people to drink and conspiring, fleeing abroad to Japan, even calling me a murderer.

These rumors and obscenities are suffocating me, significantly impacting my work, my daily life. I'm experiencing unbearable online violence. In reality, I wasn't there. I wasn't at the dinner like everyone else. I only learned of Yu Mang's passing that morning. To offer condolences to the deceased and to clarify matters, I hereby issue the following warning regarding these online rumors. The background noise in the live photos are not related to the incident. One photo in question, it was me and three of my friends having dinner at a public restaurant. During the meal, one of my friends was complaining about her husband. So, she's saying, you know, he's still resisting.

Oh, the friend is saying her husband is still resisting. Yeah. Which is kind of crazy.

What? Yeah. I thought the best case scenario for her defense, the best case would be like, "Oh, I was talking to this guy and he doesn't like me, but I'm still going to pursue him. He's still resisting." It's still alarming to say in that phrase,

but I can't think of or like maybe a deal. You're like trying to get a deal done and you're like, "Ah, he's still resisting the con." It's still weird.

But like the way that she said my h my friend was talking about her husband, it makes it even more unbelievable. What is your husband resisting? Maybe he's resisting buying a Porsche. I don't know, you know, but it's just the amount of coincidences in these live photos don't make sense. Another photo she says, "I was eating with my assistant in a restaurant. There were waiters and other guests around. I don't even know. I was completely unaware of what was being said at the time." So, she's saying the smacking sounds and the what is it painful or what. She's saying, "I don't know. Those are just like waiters and other people at the restaurant when I was recording this. I was taking this photo. I have nothing to do with it. She said, "I used to live on a high floor in that building. I didn't live in that unit where people are pointing out the pictures of the clothing that they saw that matches Yuming Long." She says, "I

lived on a high floor." So, this is like her way of disproving it. She's like, "I lived on a high floor. That's where I took photos of my daily life, but I moved out 9 months ago. I haven't lived there in a very long time.

There are some lowlight photos circulating on the internet. Those are not of me." This seems like she's referring to the peeppole videos. I am a Chinese citizen. I have been in Beijing. I since the incident and I have not fled abroad. I don't know any so-called political tycoons at work. I have always relied on myself and I have not done anything weird. After being cyberbullied, I've never deleted or edited any content or photos I posted on social media. I just I want to thank the social media platforms for their legal and regulatory cleanup of rumors after the incident. Because of my contract with the former agency expired in June this year, I was unable to speak from the company or studio. In response to this urgent emergency, I believe that if I come out to clarify, it might have been easier to focus on me. So, she's saying the reason that I didn't come out forward sooner to talk about all of this

and to try to disprove all these rumors is because I thought that if I came out during the wake of this tragedy, all the attention would be on me and it would fall into larger scale online bullying and questioning. So, I decided to wait until the dust settles before responding. Spreading rumors and online violence will only cause more innocent people to be implicated and hurt. After going through so much, I really hope that the person who spread rumors can apologize. I've reported the case to the public security department and have entrusted a lawyer to take legal measures. In short, she denies all allegations. She says that she's still in Beijing. She has nothing to do with Yumang's passing. In fact, if you utter such so much as a word about it, she's probably going to sue you. That's her threat at least. I will say September 28th, a new drama, The Moment I Met You, starring Suni Ren, went up and

immediately gets taken down 48 hours later people are boycotting this drama to hell and back. What's crazy is she's just gone back to posting normal photo dumps of her daily life,

really acting like none of this is happening. People are commenting, "No more life photos. Oh, so you're just going to pretend nothing happened?" And they also bring up Dylan Wing in a lot of her comments. So, I was like, "Oh my gosh, what is happening with Dylan Wing?" If you guys don't know, Dylan Wang is another very beloved actor in China, and he's huge. He also did a lot of fantasy shows, too. Dylan Wang and Sun Ren were on a reality TV show together previously. And this clip is so weird. He is sharing the story about how he was invited to a gathering at Sun Ren's house initially, previously before all of this. And everybody is like, "Oh my gosh, like what's going on? like tell us about and she's like he's like yeah I mean it was like this weird you know she was having a party and the whole time is sitting next to him and she starts looking very uncomfortable it's like she starts fidgeting she starts taking sips

of her tea she starts looking side to side and kind of smiling sheepishly and he's not exposing her for anything he's just like there was this one incident where she was saying you guys are tired everyone come over and I prepared these foot baths for everyone

okay just to clarify Dylan Wang and Son is on a reality show. They're sitting there sharing a story with a group of other celebrities

and this story is making Sony looking a little uncomfortable because it's not a good positive story about her.

Yeah. And so he's like, you know, I thought it was so sweet of her because we had been working all day and she's like, I just want to do something nice for everyone. Like I just want to get a foot bath for you. Right. So he goes over to the party and everyone's like, there's a foot bath and he's like, oh, this is so sweet. Everyone's like, put your feet in the bath. Put your feet in the foot bath. Put your feet in the foot bath. He's like, "Is this a common thing or no?" for Americans or not.

A foot bath. Oh, maybe. Perhaps not. It's like a soaking tub with hot water. It's like maybe it's a more

Yeah, it's a it's a very common thing we do growing up. Like after a long day, steamy hot pot of hot water. You dip your feet in there. It's like relaxes your whole body.

It's like it also in Korea it's they say it releases toxins. I guess it would be like taking a regular bath, but obviously just your feet. You just roll up your pants, right? Yes. So, it's like a very relaxing, calming, you know,

treatment. I do want to say there's no like sexual connotations or anything weird about a foot bath. It's just a foot bath. And it's like you go to a manicure or a pedicure. And so, she he's like, "Okay, everyone is very excited about me putting my feet in the foot bath, right? And there's a lot of people there." So, he's like, "Okay." Okay, he rolls up his pants and puts his feet in the foot bath and everyone starts laughing and cheering wildly as if like this is the most revolutionary thing that has ever taken place. And yes, Dylan Wang is a revolutionary person, but like him putting his feet in a foot bath is it wouldn't warrant such a response. So, he's looking around really uncomfortably and confused. And turns out it was a very mean prank. Every single person had dipped their stinky feet into that foot bath before Dylan Wang and this was I guess some sort of I don't even know what kind of joke this was.

Yeah, it seems like it was Son's idea or this is her way of I don't know what what it was.

I think that it's just not nice. And so she looks uncomfortable because her entire celebrity persona is being this nice sweet girl and now people are saying Dylan Wang has warned us from the beginning. He probably didn't know anything dark, but he probably knew that she was not exactly who she presents of this nice girl next door. And he shared that story as like this is weird. Like I felt uncomfortable by that. And I didn't like that, which is understandable. And people have been commenting his name in the comments. They've been bringing up this clip and she's still acting like nothing has happened, going about posting her normal life. And to do that, you really have to know the right people, which again comes up. The internet thinks that her parents are heavily politically connected. And on top of that, she has a very close friend of hers. This is the person that got her into the Beijing Film Academy. Director

Chang, the rare hair director, right? Yes. From the WeChat text messages. See, they all run in the same circle, these people. That's why.

And they're all such close friends. They were friends since she was 13. He was like 30some. What can you be friends about? So he gets her into the Beijing Film Academy. They're very close friends since then. And that places both him and her and Shini all at the scene of the crime allegedly. But there is another one. There is a famous singer by the name of Fi.

Fansi. Yeah. Fansi. We're going to call him Singer Fun. Singer Fun has the world's strangest picture that I've ever seen in my life.

Do you know that they actually were from the same? Yes, they're from the same. Oh,

so they were in the I think it's Super Boy, the same show that is what got them famous

and it seems like they've had somewhat of a friendship since the very beginning. Like everyone assumed that they were close friends. There didn't seem to be any sort of bad blood or any sort of tension on that show. It seemed like they got along well and it periodically throughout their career, I think they've had run-ins and nobody had any suspicion of anything bizarre happening. But there is this very strange picture of Singer Fun. It's a selfie of him in the car with sunglasses on. I don't think it's particularly an attractive picture, but the caption reads, "Ever since I was little, I swear that I would kill anyone who's more handsome than me. Until today, my sword still hasn't been used. #funshi # early days #just handsome."

So, this is the type of guy that he is. Okay. But then recently, what placed him at that dinner party was this leaked video. There's lots of voices in the leaked video, and people are saying, "This is the torture before Yumang's death. the horses.

A lot of people are saying there's just no way that Yumang Long died from falling off the fifth floor. That's been a huge conspiracy is that people have this theory that he was tortured to either a get information out of him, such as a USB. Remember I went over that theory? People think that Yumang Long finally found money evidence between Shinchi and everybody else and he downloaded into a USB and said, "I want out of this. I don't want any of this. I don't want to go to drinking parties with anyone. I just want to have a normal career. Keep me out of this. He brings the USB. They want to get the USB out of him. He swallows it and they're trying to torture him to see if maybe he can spit it up. Maybe he needs to tell them if there's another copy elsewhere.

That's been a huge running theory. Another running theory is that they're just torturing him because they like it. Or perhaps they want him to consent to sleeping with them and he just won't. There's this audio, leaked audio, where you hear what sounds like singer Fun's voice and it's saying, "You're lucky that I didn't beat you to death. As a man, it's just a little blood. What's the big deal? It's not a [ __ ] thing." A lot of people say it sounds just like singer fun and it is a very venomous way of talking. I I don't know if this is AI generated. I don't know. I mean, with cases these days, specifically cases where authorities will not come out and confirm or deny anything, it's getting so crazy with AI. The amount of times that we have to look for frame by frame to see if we can spot any sort of discrepancy that would indicate that it's AI generated, but even then, it's not like I specialize in discovering

that. Like, I barely know anything. So, it's just been so difficult. And the fact that we've run into even like there are real photos and then people use AI to make that photo move. So now it's like oh that looks like the video because it looks just like that photo and then we have to look frame by frame and then we turn out it was AI it was fake. I don't know how how it's going to be in 6 months.

I mean 6 months is bad like 6 years would be so Yeah. Yes. So bad. This one specifically um Oh, I think it was we were I was talking to you about it. It was the craziest thing. We were all sitting there and I was like something is about this is so weird. This is the video that gets singer fun roped into all of this. He's saying all of this and Yumang Long, you hear dog howling and then Yumang Long's voice comes out and it's the weirdest calmst voice and he says, "Oh, Fooly is here to save me. Fooly is his dog." So people were saying, "Listen to this entire leaked video. This guy, Singer Fun, is torturing you Manglong, bleeding, making him bleed. He's like, "Oh, blood's nothing." Right? And then the dog starts barking and Yumang Long is like, "My dog is here to save me."

And then you hear just seconds and minutes of the sound of a dog howling and Yumang Long whailing, like sobbing, and it sounds like his dog is being tortured in front of him. But then it gets confusing because that whole part where he says Fooly is here to save me. His dog's name Fooly.

That's from his live stream. Mhm. So we don't know how much of this video is accurate. singer fun saying that it sounds like him. Could be AI, but it sounds like him, but it could be AI. We don't know. And then this part seems like it was edited in because it sounds just like him saying it in his live stream where he's cooking and then he sees his dog and he's like, "Oh, Fully is here to save me." And it's just calm. It doesn't match the tone of the rest of the video. But then when you have the dog howling and Yumang crying, it sounds like him.

Yeah. It sounds like him crying. So it's like what is it possible that 80% of this video is true and the 20% is edited? Is it possible that 90% is true? Is it possible that only 50% is true? And if any part of it is true, that's already very alarming. And then there has been this conspiracy that's been running around which I've been talking to you about about like people saying, "Oh, well, it's been debunked. Well, has it really been debunked? Who said it's debunked?" Another big problem with this case is there are speculations that the people in power, perhaps even the government, they take a very real audio clip and they intentionally fake it because they're like, "This audio clip is probably going to get out there somehow. Someone's leaking information, so it's going to get out, so why don't we put it out first, but we insert some fake audio? Throw it out there. Some internet sleuth is going to say, "Wait,

wait. This is fake. This is fake." And now this whole audio that would have been leaked as real is now fake.

Yeah. Because we edited in this random little word in there. Yeah. That you can hear from his other live stream.

Yeah. That's a very easy way for them to invalidate anything that's even real. Right.

And it's a very smart way of doing it because now it makes everybody question and I see people fighting in the comments. So, it's been a whole thing of like how much of it can we trust even if it is debunked and like what part of it is debunked. It doesn't mean the whole video is debunked. We don't know. But it does connect to another leaked video. So, in in the video um people believe that Fun, singer Fun was torturing Yumang Long and later tortured the dog in front of Yumang Long, ultimately killing the dog in front of Yumang Long.

And the reason that people believe that part of the audio is real is because there's another video, a recording outside of Yumang Long's residential window. And this is from allegedly a neighbor of Yumang Long. And again, this could be fake. This could be real. This could be half fake. We don't know. But you just hear muffled wailing. And it sounds like Yumang Long sobbing. Fooly, I'm so sad. I can't do this. I'm so miserable. Fooly. Fooly is his dog's name. There's so much blood. You You killed my dog. I'm going to insert the audio, but just a trigger warning, skip ahead, maybe 30 seconds. I don't know how good AI content is getting, but the sounds sound very visceral. It doesn't sound like AI generated screaming. It sounds gut-wrenching.

But this makes people believe that Singer Fun is there and that they killed Yumang's dog to get him to comply. People are now asking Singer Fun in his comments, "What is 12 years of friendship to you? Your shameless betrayal and lies have been exposed." But what's crazier is that 4 days after Yumong's passing, Singer Fun post on Waybo, I'm very happy. Are you guys happy? If you're happy, are you ready to meet me in Changdu? Which was for his next concert that sold exactly 15 tickets. The comments all read, "His friend is dead. What is this motherucker happy about? Ultimately, only 15 tickets were sold for that concert. They had to cancel the entire thing. His studio tried to make it seem like he had to cancel it because he's sick. But all the netizen comments read, "Oh, you're not feeling well. I hope you don't make it. Hope the disease defeats you ASAP. You must not get through this.

Hi, Ting." People think it's weird that he has not made any sort of big statement disproving any of this. And the one thing that people think could debunk that singer fun is there the dogs. If this audio is not real, then the dogs are fine. Where are Yumang Long's beloved dogs? Like he loves these dogs. An employee of the agency that Yumang Long was signed with, the one that everybody hates right now. She's like, I work at the agency, but I've been a good friend of Yang Long forever. She says, "In fact, there was a time where I was really sad and I had some bad thoughts and he was the one that stopped me. He was the one texting me.

And so, I don't believe that he would ever self-exit. So, it must have been a drunken accident." Basically, that's her whole stance on

this was like the message that we're seeing when this first happened. She's the one first one to come on and say this could not be selfexit because um saved me when I had the thought. But she's so convinced that it is a drunk accident, which people are saying that doesn't make sense because if you work at the agency and you are a so-called close friend of you, Minglong, you would know that he would not drink that much right before a CCTV giant performance that he has the next day on a government-run television program. So, you would know that people don't like her because the dots are not connecting.

But some people are open to it. They say, "Well, if you're such a close friend, can you tell us that you Mang Long's dogs are fine because then maybe we don't need to cancel Singer Fun and maybe we are cyberbullying him. Maybe he's innocent. Just let us know where the dogs are. Are they okay?" And she comes out to say, "The dogs are fine. Okay, they're being taken care of by a close friend of Yang Long." What's very interesting right off the bat is that her posts are not being censored. Anyone asking about the dog, their posts are getting buried. It's getting deleted.

It's getting It's getting wishy-washy on different platforms. Sometimes it goes down quicker than others, but she's doing fullon posts about Yumang Long's dogs and being like, "Don't worry, guys. You Mang Long is gone, but his dogs are here and they're fine and they're with his friend." The posts are up. So, people start asking, "Okay, well, if the dogs are fine, can you just ask that friend for a photo of the dogs? We just want a photo of the dogs to make sure they're okay."

A photo, a video just disproved a lot of things. Yeah. Just give us time and date and a photo of the dogs and we're good.

And she starts commenting back. You guys are so weird. You don't think that you're so weird and ridiculous? When Yumingo was alive, you didn't even care about him. But now that he's gone, everyone cares about his dogs.

What do you mean? That's such a bizarre response. Just give us a picture of his dogs. It's very evasive to say the least. This lady is also allegedly very close with Kimmy before he passed away suspiciously. and she just keeps repeating that all of this was a drunk accident and you guys are weird for wanting pictures of the dogs, for wanting proof of life of the dogs. She's a screenwriter for the agency, but others have been coming out to say I don't think so. I think she's politically well-connected. I think she is actually running a lot of the show behind the scenes because the way that she's coming out to make these bold statements and claims, you're not just a screenwriter from the agency. Even the chairman of the agency stepped down because of all this happening and this screenwriter gets to go online and say all sorts of things and she hasn't been fired. They're just letting her do this.

Are you the one running things? And to that I mean it you could just play it off as a very goofy rumor. Like if you are genuinely just like an employee at a company and people accuse you of being Jeff Bezos, it's just like a this is so goofy. This is ridiculous. Like I'm not even going to pay attention to it because of how unrooted in reality it is. That would be a typical response. But instead, she starts commenting like, "Someone who's saying stuff like that probably has never been inside of an office before. No common sense at all."

It's very defensive. Defensive. Yeah. Which makes people think, is it true then? It doesn't make sense. She's also very unhinged, I will just say. She goes on to post a certificate of a star that she had purchased. And she says, "Prince has his own planet now." And it's just a picture of a star certificate.

Yeah. Like you know how you can purchase like a star Yeah. in the sk in the space

and it's for Yumang Long. And there is a giant star emoji on there covering something which is already strange. And on the certificate it reads, "Dear Yumang Long, you are everything when you are with me and everything is you when you are not." Does that sound like just a thing that you do when you work together? Like you are just colleagues. your screenwriter for an agency. He's talent for the agency. Sure, you guys can have a friendship, but to to put that on the star is very odd. People looked up the coordinates and the star is um you know, how she put that giant emoji covering it. People look up the coordinates and that star is not just called the Yumang Long Star, it's Yumang Long and her name together on the star.

Then at the very end, there is another word. It's an Arabic word. I I'm going to butcher it. Like she literally named the star. It's almost like Stephanie plus panda.

Yeah. This is so chilling. Yeah. And she puts this Arabic word. Apparently it means like you bury me. It's supposed to be a very romantic and somber way of saying I hope to die before you so that you can bury me because if you leave first, I can't live without you. It's like a It's like a very strong romantic gesture of like I will not be okay if you're gone, so you must be the one to bury me. Nisens were so irked by all of this because well, for one, it's just creepy. Like, what do you mean? You guys work together and you bought a star and you're putting all these different romantic connotations and you seem like you're more higher up in the agency than you want to lead on.

And also, why can't you just give us a picture of the dogs? And we hate this star. Nizens were so irked that they bought their own star and they named it Little Fish, which is Yumang Long's nickname. Yu means fish in China, so they call him Little Fish. Now, side note, it is said that she has a second account that she uses frequently. And September 10th, she writes, "The last time is terrifying. You won't know it's the last time. There is no goodbye, no signs, just regrets. Good night."

That's a very crypted message. before everything went down the next day. Yeah. Before the first post goes up at around 11:00 in the morning the next day, she posts this allegedly on her alleged second account. There's no way to prove that this is her account. There's no way to prove that this has any relation to the Yumang loan case. But if it is, it seems like she knows a lot.

Yeah, this woman is so so weird. Yeah, just like the dog thing to me is the biggest reflex. She inserted herself into this whole dog thing. She's like, "No, the dogs are not dead." And then as soon as people asking for a photo, she got so mad and she's yet to send a photo, which is such an easy thing to do.

She could easily just take a video of herself going to see the dog. Yeah. Or just even ask the friend for a photo.

It It doesn't add up. This places her also on that list. People don't know if she was there that night. People don't know if perhaps she just knows a lot, coordinated a lot. A lot of netizens are on the belief that she knew more than she's leading on that she knew more than September 11th morning came around. Paparazzi released the information. They think that either she was called that night or she was there that night. Then we have the red-haired director. We're coming back to him. So, the reason that he's placed at the scene is because he's always harassing young men. It seems like he was um very into Yumang Long. And another thing is there is a picture of him at a fashion show the next day after Yumang Long's passing. And these are paparazzi photos and there appears to be what looks like blood on his shoes. Like if you were to step in blood and it would dry on your shoes. It's not like

splattered where he would even notice. It's not so obvious where it's like, "Oh no, that seems like a design choice or that seems like this." It just seems like on the very edge near the sole of his shoe coming up the ridges a little bit of his sneakers. It looks like he stepped in something dark and red.

It is weird. I mean, I don't remember last time I got red on my shoes. It's a very specific color.

Yeah, that is weird. Yeah, it's not like brown and dirt. It's red. And he's best friends with Hung Ren who has also been placed at the scene. So everyone and remember September 10th that night he posts delicious

like yummy on Waybo. So again that puts him at that scene and then there's a new photo that starts circulating in neighborhood forums and later on social media platforms. One of the biggest questions was who the hell are these two guys holding hands at the scene of the crime? Which by the way it's not really a scene of the crime because the investigation has closed it as a drunk accident but most people think it's the scene of the crime. They're like who are these two dudes? Can you explain the photo again? Like the situation. What are we talking about?

Of course. So, this is a lot of neighbors had gone to that building to try and see what's going on, investigate, and all the police are trying to tape it off. They're not even letting security in. It's very controlled. But outside the building, you see building 18, and at the very bottom, right before the door opens, before you get into the building, there's a bunch of police officers scattered about. And you see this man in white, and he has his back turned toward the camera, so you can't really see his face. and he's sitting on what looks like the ledge. It's a little sidewalk ledge. And then a man in black is standing next to him and you only see his side profile and he's they're he's like holding his hand. They look like they're caressing comforting each other.

But it's not this deep sense of profound comfort of we are in immense grief. Let's cry together. It's almost like um

those jokes of the young couple at Disneyland lines. Like you always see that weird high school couple that's like all up on each other and you're like whoa this is Disneyland. What's going on? Like please let's be appropriate. Like it feels like that. It's like they're just like holding each other's hands. It's not that inappropriate, but it's like it's weird.

It's it's like a calmer comforting. The feeling I got was like I I thought maybe one of them is the one that put their shirt on alone. Like they're the friends of Uma and they are just looking at the situation comforting each other by holding their hands. Like what the [ __ ] But it doesn't feel like a deep profound

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. like I'm in grief because no one's slumped over. No, I feel like if you're really that sad of a friend passing and seeing that friend pass, I feel like you'd be slumped over and someone would be like patting your back.

I don't think it'd be like, "Here's my hand. Hold my hand while you're standing next to me."

Yeah. So, people thought it was really weird, but they're like, "Who the hell are these two guys holding hands?" Because they must have been at the dinner party. The guy in white, obviously you can't see him because his back is turned to the camera, but the man in black, you can see his side profile. And people are saying it looks just like Director Chang. Now, a little bit of context. The man in black has black hair. Director Chang has bright flaming red hair. And he comes out to say, "You guys, I have had this flaming red hair for years.

I've never had black hair. I didn't have black hair September 10th, September 11th, and I don't have black hair now. People are saying, "Okay, well, we didn't see you September 10th and September 11th, so we don't know if maybe you just dyed your hair back." But I will say the day after when he did go to the fashion show, he did have red hair.

So, he's saying that's not me. But people still believe he was there that night because of the delicious comment that he made on Waybo, that random post. He's friends with Hong Yen. He's known to be very creepy. And a lot of people believe that he was trying to sleep with Yumang Long.

And allegedly, I don't know if it's true or not, I read that when Kimi passed away, he also posted delicious on Waybo.

Not only that, he was obsessed with Kimi as well. People are saying that his obsession moved on from Kimi after his passing to Yumang Long. He was obsessed with Kimi. Still post about Kimi on his anniversary of his passing. posts all sorts of nonsense. And this has actually been a huge point of contention. After Yumang Long's passing, he posts about Kimi.

H and people are like, why is he posting about Kimi? Because it's making him look more suspicious. So, not only do we think that you are connected to Yumang Long's passing, we also think you're reminding us that we think that you're connected to Kim's passing. Why would you do that?

Yeah, because the whole world thinks you did this to Yumong. And you brought up another singer that passed under very

suspicious circumstances. That that's a really weird action when people are thinking, "Yeah,

people are thinking that's his way of telling people, the very powerful people, you know, you need to protect me because he's getting a lot of the heat." Him and Hung and the singer fun are getting a lot of heat right now cuz there's just a lot more to dig through. A lot of the other people, yes, they're powerful. They're well connected allegedly, but there's not a lot of so much sense.

There's not a lot of conversation about them because you don't really know that much about them. You don't have them doing interviews. You don't have them doing outrageous things on camera. You don't have social media post.

So, the message is not for the public. It's for those people who's involved, you know, allegedly. Wow.

It's the the allegation is like, "Hey, you remember what I know? Let's not forget what I know."

What exactly is he posting? He's posting about like I've talked to uh Kim's parents posted this video because he should have turned 37 this year but he's gone and I'm just posting he will forever be youthful which again people think is weird because he does have an obsession with young boys men right it was just like very vague and weird stuff to the point where people are like okay we think he's posting this to remind these powerful people since he is one of the few getting dragged through the mud Don't forget that I know a lot of stuff, too. But if he's not the guy in the black shirt, because people are saying, "We think that he was there, but we don't think he's the guy in the black shirt." I mean, like, the side profile is alarmingly similar, but you're right, he does have black hair, and director Tang always has red hair.

Who are these two guys holding hands at the scene of the crime? That's where Ji Guang Wuang comes in. Ji Guang Wuang is the owner of the apartment building in which Yumang Long passes away from. He's a writer, screenwriter. His biggest work was um I think it's a show called Come On, You Are the Best. He's also written some books. According to an online detective, he is the homeowner and he was the host of the dinner party. And he's not necessarily the most successful, but that just means he's wellconed. He's politically powerful. He loves Rolex watches. He loves spending a lot of money, but he doesn't really have the success to back it up. So, like, he must be one of the politically well-connected people as well in there.

It just doesn't make sense. So, those two watches were allegedly his in Mong's pocket.

Yes. If it is true that there were Rolex watches, um, people think that it was his. He He seems to be a huge fan of the brand Rolex.

That is so weird. [ __ ] is Ji Guang Wang's husband. So, they think that Ji Guang Guang is the man in white and Shea, his husband, is the man in black comforting him. So they are at the scene, but we don't really know that much about him. Um, we just have this rumor that Ji Guang Wuang's father was the former premere of the state council. So it seems like there has already been allegations at the forefront since long time ago that he is very politically well-connected, but being politically well-connected is not necessarily a bad thing until now. So, they get placed at that dinner party.

And Tigong doesn't really make any statements that are convincing. He just goes off to immediately turn off his comment section. And people think that is very suspicious. There's also another photo of him where it's a very blurry photo of him inside of his apartment unit, and it looks just like what the apartments units look like in this building. It looks like the window that Yumong fell out of in the back of this photo. M.

So, we've got Ji Gong Wang, we've got his husband, and that husband is definitely not Director Chang, but Director Chang is placed at the scene of the crime. And then he goes on to keep fighting it. He's like, I'm not going to shut up about this. I'm going to post these WeChat photos.

I'm going to show you guys my messages. And that is how Tin Hong gets placed at the scene of the dinner party.

The billionaire widow. Yeah. that allegedly also wanted Tian Hyong. Her husband is was at one point one of the richest men in China. He went to prison for moneyaundering. He died suspiciously in prison and she inherited billions of dollars. She has been friends with the red-haired director for at least the past 20 years. And people are saying she is the money behind all of this. I mean, yes, all of these people are politically well-connected. What does that mean? They have boatloads of money. They've got a lot of it, but they're using their political connections to get away from this scot-free. They're going to have the authorities not investigate. They're going to shut it down online. It's going to be censored. But what about her? If you've got no political connections, so people are saying everyone can be the fall guy. You can be the fall guy. If that like if people are thinking that Yumang Long was murdered, let's give

them a murderer. That's the easiest way out of this. Why does it have to be this hard? Why do we have to have all these rumors and these conspiracy theories? They want a murder. Give them a murder. That's usually what bad people do. So why is there no murder being placed at the scene of the crime? Why is there no fall guy? And so you've got people thinking, okay, well maybe was just a madam that was working in the business, but people are like, there's no way because then she would have been the easiest fall guy. Shini, he might be related to the head of the administration, so there's no way he's going to be the fall guy. director with the red hair. He's telling them straight up, allegedly online, I've got so much information, you don't want me to be the fall guy. Same with the manager, Yu Mangong's manager. Maybe they know too much information. Then you've got Chiang Gong and his husband. Perhaps they're so

politically well-connected that they're not going to go down for it. And now you just have Ting Haiong. She's a billionaire, but it's a little bit different in China where billionaires have so much power. They do, but they don't have as much power as they would in America. They are still subject to the head of the administration at the end of the day. They are not the top dog. And so why can't she go down? They could just say, "Hey, she's a creepy widow and she was obsessed with this guy. He didn't want her because she's older and like maybe he doesn't like her. Whatever. She got she got enraged.

She kicked him off the building. She pushed him off the building. She hired one of these random people off the street to push him off the building. They could have made her the fall guy. Allegedly, she is the pockets in all of this. Neighbors have reported that people were going around offering tens of thousands of dollars per resident to not talk to any media, to not talk to the police, and to just shut their mouth. Don't post anything. Don't go on Instagram, don't go on reals, don't go on threads, which is where a lot of people have been circulating information. Just shut up. And here is money. People did calculations. You're talking about tens of millions of dollars. The only person that would have quick access to that kind of funds is Tien Hyong. It doesn't make any sense.

Additionally, some people said that they didn't take the money. There are allegations that nizens there did not take any of the money. They didn't want it and they were perhaps talking to some reporters talking posting a bit online. Their tires were allegedly slashed. That has been the rumor that's been going around. They've had red paint splashed on their doors and within days a lot of the units in this complex go up for sale. These units are going up for sale at crazy discounted rates.

People are panic selling. Now, originally the thought was, well, that makes sense. You have very bad news in an apartment complex. You don't want that to affect your equity in the house. So, maybe you want to be the first few to sell before it really starts plummeting and people all want out. It's kind of like the stock market. Everyone's panic selling. That was the initial thought, but the amount of money that people would be losing, it doesn't make any sense. And also, lots of tragedies happen in Beijing at all sorts of different apartment complexes. And typically, like you just ride the wave and like in a year, you won't lose any money. It doesn't make any sense that they would be panic selling unless they're scared to live there. They just don't want to live there because they know it is not what they're telling the internet. So, why would you feel safe living there when the internet is

saying, "Okay, these authorities are saying that he fell drunk, but you know that's not true because you heard things that night."

Yeah. I think I think I read somewhere that it was like the neighborhood before was like they have 90 units that's listed for sale overnight. It went to like 153 or something. Just like boom, doubled

in like 12 hours. That doesn't make sense. You know, something happened. One neighbor says, "I live nearby. I was contacted by them. It's not really disclosed who they are, but they gave us a lot of money. And my family, they gave my family a lot of money for not revealing anything. We did hear the sound of something falling down that night, but security told us that one of the units was just like throwing trash away, so we just assumed it was that. They asked us to ignore the sound. Like I was saying in the beginning of the episode, the reason that people are roping Ting Hyro into all of this is that she reposted her WeChat screenshots, they don't align with everything that's been happening. that receipt of the Bulgary Hotel restaurant receipt. That was weird. And so people think, "Yes, you are a very suspect person and we think that you were there at the dinner party." But she really seals the deal in the netizen opinion

department when she decides to repost a statement from the police officials as a way to inadvertently declare her innocence. She reposts the police statement that they have officially arrested three people in connection with this case. Okay, this is like the craziest thing. The police finally come out with their own statement. Previously, everybody's talking for the police, saying, "The police have concluded that there's no foul play." The police come out weeks later. Okay, so in China, the police announcements always coming out in this navy blue poster. That's like with a stamp of the police on there. That's the official statement. And that usually gives you the most credible information, as credible as the police official statement is.

And people thought that it was going to be about Yumong's case, so they're like, "Okay, this is a long one. We see lots of words, so it must be about Yumang Long's case, and we're finally going to get answers. And they kind of briefly touch about Yumang Long, but more so they just post three people have been detained in connection with this case. They are being investigated. One detainee fabricated a story that Yumang Long was set up by others and injured before jumping. Another detainee fabricated a story that he was thrown off the building. And the last detainee fabricated a story that Yumlong's mother was being held under control, resulting in her not being able to comment on this case, all three of them have been placed under compulsory legal measures by the police. This is this is like it. That's it. All they write about Yumang Long is after Yumang Long's accidental fall from the building while intoxicated, police

immediately investigated. Through scene inspection, forensic examinations, interviews, and reviewing of the surveillance footage, criminal suspicion has been ruled out. The investigation results were shared with the family who have raised no objections. Yuming Long's mother has also issued a statement through the studio's official Waybo account. We're going to get more on this mother's statement later on, but people are just saying, I mean, it does not take that many neuropathways to figure out that this statement is not going to be received. Well, within an hour or so, there are almost 100,000 comments left under the official post, but only like eight of them were viewable to the public.

Wow. People have gone to repost it and a lot of those comments read, "You should spend less time on social media and more time investigating crimes. What should I pay attention to if my friend invites me to a dinner party at their apartment in Beijing?" Hey, so you guys saw nothing on the fifth floor? No stairs, no elevator, no surveillance cameras. Like, are we seeing anything? Other people comment, "There is never any sort of drinking party, only other types of parties." But what's crazy about this is T and Hyone repost the photo of the police bulletin that they had posted on Waybo. So you've got two posts. You've got the police's original Waybo post of this bulletin board. She reposts that picture and people are looking at them too side by side and they go that's really strange because on the corner of the police post on the corner bottom you see their waybo handle like Beijing Tayang police. Then you go to her

picture and you see in the corner her username for Waybo, but it's not a bunch of jumbled words. It's not her username on top of the police username,

which means she must have had the original bulletin. She must have had an original copy of what they were going to post. This is crazy because the police don't just give that out to people. Police don't really go out of their way to give their statements and official postings to people for fun. FOAS foyer requests are not really a thing in China. So, how could she get that if she doesn't have some sort of power over the police or some sort of connection with the police officers, especially when you consider a reporter called the police just before this official statement was posted asking for an update on the case, just a status update. The police straight up tell them, "Look, if you're not directly related to Yu Mang Long or Yang Long's family, I cannot disclose anything about this case. Just wait for the official announcement like everybody else." So why doesn't Tang Hyong just wait for the official announcement like

everybody else and just repost it with their handle on this side just like everybody else?

It doesn't make any sense, especially when you consider that doesn't get censored. But all these different bloggers who are reposting leaked information or even journalists sharing what their sources have told them, their accounts are getting restricted or banned on social media. Fishermen on Waybo, Little Red Book, Dawing, they've all been banned. A lot of them have been deleted. Fishermen are coming out and saying, "I'm trying to make a living selling fish. I go out into the deep ocean, deep sea fishing. I come back, I make little doings. I make little Tik Toks to bring people to my dried fish store on Tik Tok shop." And I have been banned. I've been suspended because you means fish. And so people trying to get around the censorship, instead of saying Yu Ming Long, they've been calling him little fish. And they have just started banning people that have little fish or fish too often in their freaking live

stream or their videos. They just start banning all of them. Even people who are they're not even fishing. people who are selling um fishing hooks, fishing lines, fishing equipment, fishing boat tour companies, all of them are getting suspended and they're getting very frustrated and then that inadvertently would trigger a deletion of accounts that would use other words. So once all the fish accounts are getting banned, people are coming forward and fishermen are very upset and they're losing their livelihood. A lot of people have started calling him something else. They're like, "Okay, let's try to find a different word that we could use and one that wouldn't affect too many people."

One of the easiest ones was Yum Long's fan base originally called themselves lemons. And people are like, "Okay, well lemons, there's not really lemon sellers." Like, you don't really you just go to the market and you buy a lemon. You're not going to have someone that's like, "Let me show you how I pick my lemons and I'm going to sell you my lemons online." I mean, I'm sure there's some lemon related businesses, but it's not going to be as vast as the fisherman. Lemon gets banned. Selling umbrellas gets banned because that is

rain also means rain. Yeah. Um, yuming long. Mangong means hazy. So, a lot of people have been describing him as this whole situation as hazy, as rain, as foggy. A lot of celebrities even that were close with Humang Long, they're not allowed to talk out. And I don't think anyone wants them to because look at what's happening. It's so scary out there. So, of course, no one wants their favorite celebrity to say anything and get themselves in a very dangerous position. But a lot of celebrities that were close with Yum, Mang Long, have gone to post pictures of like foggy skies when it's raining or hazy mornings and they'll just write, "What a hazy morning." And it's kind of their way of drawing attention to it, saying like, "I see it. I I also am grieving but I can't say anything.

People have been banning selling umbrellas, lemons, fish, catching fish. It said that if you are doing any of those or saying any of those words, even if you're not talking about Yuang Long, if you're going at the fish market and you're talking about the different types of seafood that they're selling there, it's likely that your live stream is going to lose internet connection. One netizen jokes, but not really. It's depressing. They say, "Yeah, soon enough they're probably gonna even ban selling fish at the market at this rate." A lot of Chinese people actually have a term for all of this. And they say it's a serpent eating its own tail. And that's how a lot of times censorship has been described. And like I I do want to say I think we're lucky to live in the US where censorship is maybe not as obvious of a problem, but censorship exists everywhere. Like even in the US, like there's no such thing as I I don't think

there's any country that does not have censorship to any varying degree. But they say that when censorship gets really bad, it's a serpent eating its own tail. Because something is getting censored, naturally it causes everyone to wonder why the hell is this getting censored? which then leads to a bigger conversation of the intent of the censorship, the conspiracy theories, the dark different allegations and suspicious points which again could not be true, could be absolutely true. We don't know. But this cycle starts and the conspiracies get darker and bigger and then that conspiracy getting censored almost adds credibility to the conspiracy and it's a serpent eating its own tail. M

and it's like this vicious cycle of just we don't know what's true and everyone just gets hurt in the process and it's not even like the government really benefits either and it instills a lot of fear in citizens. I think the reason that people are very upset about this case is I think there are lots of people who just love Yumang Long and I think there's a lot of people who just don't like injustice. But there's also this extreme fear in citizens of if even this celebrity Yumang Long's death can be covered up so to speak, what about literally every other citizen who does not have 25 26 million followers who care about their wellbeing? Who cares about them? One comment reads, "If it truly were just an accident, why such heavy-handed censorship? I just don't get it. And on that note, um I'm going to go through some of the rapid fire conspiracies that do get a little bit more off the beaten path. Like these are

conspiracies that I probably don't see as frequently connected to any other case. I think that there were times where I would get into going down the rabbit hole for these theories and then I would have to pull myself out and it felt very disorienting because while it does seem very detached from reality, I don't even know what to believe anymore. It's just gotten that weird. Some accounts have taken it a little unhinged. There are theories that because Yumang Long's birthday coincides with the head of state that he was used as a sacrifice. People have pulled a clip of the head of the administration in China stating that he believes that soon people will live to be 150 years old. And that has drawn a crowd of people to believe that there are ritual sacrifices being performed for the rich and powerful. And I know it sounds crazy, but we have the same exact conspiracy theories in the United States

with child sacrifices so that the wealthy could get wealthier and that they can have more success and all of these. I think it's just embedded in a lot of humans because I guess that's just what we expect from power. And they say that um you can deceive the king of hell and extend your lifespan if you find someone whose horoscope matches you and you guys have the same birthday. The king of hell gets a little bit confused. So they're like, "Oh, I guess you're already dead. I'm not going to look for you on earth to bring you back down here. That person, they say, is known as the living mummy. Living until it's time for them to be sacrificed." They say that um he was killed on September 10th because it coincides with the end of the blood moon. So they think that this was a sacrifice for the head of the administration. Again, it sounds like a very crazy theory. I think we've had similar theories happen in the United

States. Um, there's no way for me to even give you any sort of concrete evidence for this type of theory. I don't know. Then there is the 798 Cube Art Museum that comes into question a lot. About 2 weeks after Yumang's passing, it was recorded that someone had logged onto his Waybo account and the amount of posts that he had on his Waybo went down. So 2 weeks after he passes away, someone just deletes one like thread of photos. That's weird. Which ones? And so people start going cross- refferencing. They start looking and they find it's three photos that are connected to Yumang Long visiting what appears to be a museum. It looks like um it actually kind of looks like he's in a rug store. If you look at these three photos, it's him kind of laying down or posing in front of It looks like red rugs that are hung about and there's like rugs stacked on top of each other.

It looks very artsy. At one point you see some sort of silver chains on the side. It looks kind of industrial. Maybe it looks like a rug making factory. But interestingly enough, these are the photos that disappears. Like what's in these photos that's even weird? They try to trace the timeline of when those photos were posted. And it coincides with when Yumang Long had gone and visited this museum called the 798 Museum. So now nizens want to know what the hell is the 798 Museum in Beijing. What's going on in that museum? And why would someone want to delete pictures that he took inside that museum? They're not even controversial pictures. They're like modeling shots. They're like celebrity selfies. Like it doesn't make any sense. People find one review because it was very hard to find what's going on inside that museum. Like people were saying, "Oh, we think this is what was happening in that museum." But it

was definitively like some people were saying, "No, I think that's a different museum." There was lots of back and forth of like, "I don't think that's a museum. I think that's a fake picture. I think that's AI generated." September 6th, somebody does review an exhibition from the website of the art museum. See, that's another thing. People are trying to track down which exhibit he went to and like why they would delete it because art museums have different exhibits.

Yeah. It changes all the time. Yes. So, if they don't find the exact one that he had went to, then like it might not mean anything. So, they're like trying to find the meaning of this exhibit. Like, what is this exhibit? So, they find one from September 6th, which was still the exhibit that was in operation when he had gone. And they say, "This reviewer says, "Location is great, parking is great, transportation is great, ticket is cheap, I highly recommend." And the photos that the user posts are literally just torture scenes of human bodies. They're not real human bodies. So we think, right? I mean, so I think, but there are some people who think they are. I don't know. It is just like gruesome. Looks like horror movie.

There is one where it just looks like a man's face has just blown apart and they look very graphic and they look they look real and they don't look real. They look real in the sense of if I saw that in a movie it would look very believable. I would say wo that does not look super fake. It doesn't look like a clay figurine. It doesn't look like bad CGI. But they don't look real in the sense of if these are real the decomposition wouldn't make sense unless they're preserved somehow. So, it's like this very weird.

I know some people are saying these are real humans, but they would have to preserve the It's just overall it's a weird exhibit, but art is subjective, I guess. But more than that, the organizer for this very gory, very bloody exhibit is Gi Guang Wuang's husband. The owner of the apartment, his husband is the one that runs this exhibit. the guy in the black shirt

holding D Guang Wang's hand. People wanted to make sure like, are we sure though that this is the exhibit that he went to? They cross- referenced photos from this user and they cross referenced the photos that were deleted on Waybo. And it's pretty clear that that is the exhibit that he visited. Yang Long did not post any of the Gory exhibit, but he posted next to it where there are rugs being hung about. There's these like chains that are being hung about. he posted there. And so why would they delete that? And why does it seem like there's not that much information about this specific exhibit online for people to see? Because isn't that the whole point of having an art museum? You want everyone to know about this exhibit. You want to do press tours. You want to do press releases, articles. You want curators to come into your exhibit and write about it. And there's just like nothing. That doesn't make sense.

Guess who also is pictured frequently visiting this museum? Uh the red hair. Yes. redhaired director. Now, allegedly on the museum's website, this is an allegation. This could be photoshopped. I can't tell you, but it was alleged that before this was taken down, it was announced that Yumang Long was supposed to have an exhibit at this museum, like a collaborative exhibit from September 6th to September 12th. So, like right when that one ends, he's going to have his exhibit. But after his passing, they removed everything about it is what people are saying. I don't know. I don't know if people who had gone to that exhibit would come out. I don't know if he would have fans that went because these are his fans who support him and then they would feel inclined to come out. So I don't know if any of this is true but there is a rumor that it was called unfinished borders which people are now definitely reading

into it wondering if people were thinking that his life and exhibit were going to be unfinished. That part I don't know but it does there there is a connection between Juang Gang's husband it seems to the exhibit and those pictures being deleted. There's another piece in the museum. This museum has been a huge topic of discussion. There's another piece in the museum. It's an old raggedy jacket that looks like it's been rolled around in dirt. Maybe there's blood on there. It just looks like it's been soiled. This jacket is just hanging on the brick wall of the exhibit. And Yumang Long was pictured allegedly spotted wearing a similar looking jacket at the airport before. Some people are saying this art museum feels like a bunch of rich people, sick rich people who probably are into gore, who like these very bad, nasty things. And they are almost incorporating real life victimization and this museum all

together in one piece so blatantly in front of everyone. And they might get off on that aspect as well. They're saying, "What if Yumang Long was tortured in this jacket?" And then they hung it up in the museum because they get off on it. Because why not? People are wondering if this is just like a rape museum of all the artifacts and product of them essaying and their sick sexual fantasies. That's what people are saying online. I can't tell you if any of this is true. I will say the jacket does look similar, but that jacket could be just like a I don't know, a unique low jacket, a a Target jacket, like a jacket that everybody wears. I don't know. like hanging a jacket is like what kind of art is that even? So weird. Everything's so weird there.

Then come the Oh, there's even more about the um the museum by the way. There are there's like this conveyor belt that people have been posting online. And again, I haven't physically been there and like I I'm just getting so cautious about AI generated content. So, I can't tell you definitively if this is even a picture of the museum, but they say, you know how you go to a dry cleaner and they have that conveyor belt where they hang the shirts and they push the button and it just rolls. It seems like instead of shirts hanging, it's like skin suits hanging. It looks like someone just ri skinned someone's torso and then hung them on this conveyor belt and it just keeps moving around and around and the skin looks very realistic. A lot of medical professionals allegedly have been posting online like, "Hey, so I work in the medical field. I'm in a research lab and I'm just going to tell you it's a

very good artist or it's something else." So that's what a lot of people have been saying, but overall they're saying this museum is creepy. Another one is there is there was this one exhibit, a picture going around of an alleged exhibit where there are just so many shoes. It's not a pair of shoes. Just imagine if you were to just buy one shoe of every pair and fill an entire massive grand ballroom with it. And then each shoe is tied to a red string and they all go up into the ceiling at one focal point and it's like this mammothsized red string shoe. It It's very eerie because of how much string there is. You can't even see through the string. And then also it's eerie because you're human and you're like, "Why is there only one shoe? Why isn't it a pair of shoes? Whose shoes are these? Where did you get these shoes? The shoes look lived in. They look like people wore these shoes for a very long time. So,

whose shoes are these? People are pointing to one specific shoe which they believe they are alleging this is a conspiracy theory that that is Kim's shoe. They said that he wore shoes like this very often and they think that that is his and like we said the redhaired director was always seen at this museum and he was seemingly obsessed with Kimi. Additionally, a lot of people think that Kim's alleged photo from his funeral many years ago, they think that he was mutilated and tortured to death. That is a conspiracy theory online. They think that it does not appear like he his body is intact. His family did come out years ago to say that's not true. Our son was very depressed. I don't know why people don't want to accept that he was depressed and he self-exited. Um, he we didn't want to see his hands. That's why it looks like he has no arms because we asked them to put his hands into the flowers in the casket because they were

just bloated and engorged and we didn't like the way that they looked and it was it was bothering us and that's why it looks like that. People don't believe that to this day. They think that his casket photos are unnerving. They say that it doesn't look like he really even has a torso. It looks like he's almost been stuffed with like a cardboard cutout of something to make it seem like his shirt is in place. But again, these are conspiracy theories. And then come the tunnel theories. I feel like every case once the conspiracies start getting a life of its own, there must always be tunnel theories. I know with the Sean Combmes case, there was tunnel theories between the tunnel of the Playboy Mansion and his house and everything is always a tunnel. It comes back to a tunnel. But they say that the museum is connected with an underground tunnel to a very big hotel, the Bulgary Hotel, the same one

that the red-haired director and Tin Hyong had dinner in that night. They say there is a tunnel, an underground tunnel, so that they can transport him from the hotel to the museum and however they please.

I will say when you look at the map they do seem like in some sort of perpendicular parallel line but again cities are built on perpendicular parallel lines. So, it's not necessarily the most alarming thing, but I don't know. The Bulgary Hotel has been more or less canled in Beijing, China right now. There were a few videos that came out from people who claimed to have been in that hotel during that time of well, a little bit before Yumang Long's passing. And they say that it was weird because you checked into this five-star hotel, one of the alleged reviewers, and they were in the hallway. They hear screaming. They hear all sorts of things. It sounds like someone is getting tortured and there's like little red droplets in the hallway floor. They zoom in on it. It looks like blood. So people are saying that sounds like the people who were allegedly with Yumang Long. That seems to be connected. Then

another person posted another video allegedly at the Bulgary Hotel. But they don't even say that it was at the Bulgary Hotel. They say this is leaked torture video and audio of Yumanglo's passing. And you just hear people screaming like spit it out. Spit it out. Hurry and spit it out. And this is how the USB theory comes about of he swallowed a USB and they're trying to get him to spit it out so that they he won't have that evidence. But they're just filming the floor of what looks like a hotel floor. The tile is extravagant and the tile is oddly specific. It's an eightoint star. So instead of just like a regular star, it has eight different legs on the star.

And people are like that is such a specific design. And they started looking into it. And that is one of the trademark designs of the Bulgary Hotel chains. They love an eight point stars.

And that is how the Bulgary Hotel, the museum, they all become points of captivity in this theory of what happened to Yumang Long as well as the residential building. Most of the 17 people have denied any sort of involvement. I just went through the core group of people, but all the other ones, there's not as strong evidence tying them to these are the main ones that people are focused on. They have denied any sort of involvement. Some of them have come out to say they don't even know Yang Long. To which nizens are now, I don't want to say they're making jokes, but they're sarcastically asking all these people, "Oh, nobody knows him.

Then whose house did he go to for the dinner? who was at the dinner with him if nobody knows him. Other netizens are saying, "Fine, I guess we were the ones at the dinner party then because nobody else was." One netizen says, "Wait, nobody knows Yumang Long but us. Only netizens know Yumang Long. They're just providing character statements almost for Yumang Long. Um,

is the light flashing behind you? Do you feel like it's flashing or No, I don't know.

Okay. Okay, continue. I'm sorry. People just want someone to be transparent and someone maybe is. September 12th, the day after Yumang Long's passing, someone claiming to be Yumang Long's cousin comes out on Little Red Note to release a statement that very quickly gets banned, but it reads, "I'm L Long's cousin. Long is Yum Long's nickname. Right now, Auntie Long's mom and several other relatives are in Beijing keeping watch over Long's body and waiting for the police's final investigation results. The autopsy results haven't come out yet. Auntie and the other family members landed in Beijing the late in the night of the 11th and the family is mainly focused on taking care of auntie. So, please don't worry. And he goes on to list a few very strange things. First of all, nobody alerted the family. This is what the so-called cousin allegedly claims. No one alerted the family that you long passed. They

found out through social media just like everybody else on Waybo. The cousin claims a few things in this post that are alarming. The police said that it was an accidental fall. According to them, what happened was pretty much what the media reported. So, he's saying like the police haven't given any of our family members any additional information. They say that they were drinking at the friend's house until around 4:00 a.m. And then Long went into the bedroom, locked himself in the bedroom, and then at around 6:00 a.m., 2 hours later, the dinner party guests, they decide to leave, and they go downstairs, and they discover that he had fallen. and a neighbor walking her dog also discovers that he had fallen and the police are called to the scene.

Police take statements of everybody there and everybody said that they were very close friends of Long. But this cousin is saying I mean I have talked to other people in this agency that I believe were close to L Long and they have told us specifically the family specifically that Long doesn't even know these people that well like he's not friends with these people. He doesn't even know them like that. He just went because his manager asked him to. He also goes on to state that a few very strange things have happened. Long left his phone on the living room sofa. So he goes and he locks himself in this guest bedroom of a person he doesn't even really know because again they're like we don't even know that he knows these people but he's going to sleep over at their house after getting wasted. It doesn't make any sense. And then he's going to leave his phone on the living room sofa and then go into the bedroom

by himself. He also states that there were footprints of on the window sill where he fell. There were dust on the screen window that was found underneath his fingernails. There were marks of his feet scraping the screen window downstairs. He says that police spoke to the neighbors and all they know is that there were like three bottles of liquor and three bottles of beer that were drunk, but there were no signs of drug use. Like there was security cameras in the hallway captured everyone going upstairs, but nothing else. They didn't capture the fall. They just happened to be not working that day. That's what the cousin, the alleged cousin claims. The cousin also claims to say that statement that was released by Long's dissolved agency that was written by the police and posted at the police station. He's saying this is weird. Like it just doesn't make any sense. He's saying like we we're not really learning anything.

And after arriving, police asked for the entire family members mobile and WeChat numbers and the hotel that the family had to stay at. They couldn't even book it themselves. They were like, "No, the talent agency must book the hotel for the entire family and we need to know which hotel and we need to know which rooms you guys are staying in just so we can coordinate better if we need to reach you." But he's just saying it feels kind of weird. Additionally, he alleges that Yumang Long's apartment where he lived in, family members aren't allowed in, which if this is a drunken fall, it's not a crime. Why can't they go into his apartment? It's not taped off. It's not a crime scene. He ends the post with, "I understand a lot of this is necessary for the investigation and handling to control the media attention, but there are still so many things that I just really cannot understand."

Initially, people believe that this is not Yanglum's cousin, that this is some random liar on the internet. But the cousin, alleged cousin, goes on to post a family photo which includes Yumang Long in there. And back in 2011, Yumang Long's account posted a comment under the cousin's page.

So this is a pretty much fill it is the cousin. Yeah. And then later he goes on to post once more. The police came looking for me. Four four of them, two cops, two detectives showed up. I'm not going to be updating this any further. So if you guys are looking for updates, you guys can just unfollow me. Then another later post, Yumang Long's mother and relatives of Yumang Long have all left Beijing. I'm not going to post anything more, so just unfollow me. Then the account gets deleted. Remember in the last episode, a lot of people were upset that this dissolved studio was the one to announce that the police ruled out any foul play and they officially announced that Yumang Long had passed. This dissolved studio that nobody knows who's even really controlling. Maybe the police like the cousin alleges, maybe somebody else. Even more suspiciously though, September 16th, 2025, so this is 5 days

after Yumang's passing. The same studio releases another statement. This time they claim that it's Yumang's mother that wants this statement out in the world that she was like, "Can you please post this for me because no, I don't have social media and I just want this out there." This is her alleged note to the public. In the recent days, I have suffered enormous pain. My beloved son, Yuang Long, accidentally fell to his death after drinking, leaving us forever. This sudden tragedy has plunged us into deep grief. Police have informed me of their investigation results and all arrangements have been completed. I hope everyone will look at this accident rationally and stop making guesses. I also hope to return to a peaceful life as soon as possible, carrying my memories of Yumang Long and living each day as best as I can. I believe this to be Yumang Long's wish.

Nizens do not believe this statement to be real at all. chief. Among those reasons, they don't think this is a mother who could write such a formal official sounding statement so soon after her son's passing. And even if she did believe that her son's passing was an accident, there's no celebration of his life. There are no kind words to her beloved son. There's no personal touch. The rumors are harmful. Stop asking questions. Move on. That's the theme of her message after her son passes away. It just doesn't make sense. and he's only spoken fondly and kindly of his mom. It doesn't seem like they had bad relations at all. It seems as as if the entire message is, "Stop asking questions. Don't investigate. Let's end it here." Which is interesting because another letter starts circulating and people believe this to be Yumang Long's mother writing this letter. There is a red thumb print. So, it's like a signed

letter. And again, this could be anybody's thumb print. Who's to say this is Yumang Long's thumb print? But you tell me which one sounds more like his mother. To all the kind-hearted and righteous people from all walks of life, I am Yang Long's mother. In this moment with heart-wrenching grief, I am telling you the truth about my child's tragic misfortune, only hoping to seek a bit of justice for my wrongfully deceased child. On September 11th, 2025, my child left me forever. What I can't accept is that the murderer actually lied to the world that this was an accident, covering up this cruel crime with false statements, and trying to erase my child's life. They fabricated lies, confused the public, and attempted to escape legal punishment by relying on their power. But they forgot that a mother's love and memory for her child will never be covered up by lies. I have in my hands key clips before and after

my child's accident, testimonial, records of insiders. This is sufficient to prove that my child's death was by no means an accident, but deliberate harm. Since my child has left us, I have sought helps countless times, only hoping that the murderer can be punished as he deserves, and that my child can rest in peace in heaven. But so far, the murderer is still at large and even try to suppress the truth and block my demands. I know my power is meager, but I am unwilling to give up. My child was once so sunny and so kind, and he should not leave this world with any grievances. And even less should the murderer downplay his life with the word accident. I earnestly implore every conscientious person. If you have ever known anything before or after my child's death, and if you are willing to speak up for justice, please help me get justice so that more people can know the truth. I also earnestly implore the

relevant departments to face my demands squarely. Thoroughly investigate this case. Let the evidence speak for itself. Let the murderer pay for his actions. Return justice for my child. Return clarity to the world. I am willing to be responsible for every word I say, only hoping to comfort my child's spirit in heaven and let him know that his parents have never given up seeking justice for him. I don't know which one of these is real. I don't know if either of these are real. But if you had to choose, which one sounds real? And then um there are speculations that the mother has been detained. There are also concerns that um soon if this conversation keeps going that the authorities are going to start sharing information that looks badly on Manglong. There has been growing accusations, not accusations, but there has been this um alleged leaked document that has been going around with the official Beijing public

security seal in the corner and it claims that Yumang Lan was under investigation for child molestation. Nobody believes it. And um I I know that these are things that we should not cast out on, but with everything I've told you so far, could you believe this without further proof?

Yeah. What kind of person would like make something like this, right? This is crazy.

I think no, I don't think there's anyone online that actually believes this. One person just comments, "It's really depressing that he tragically dies and then he becomes an enemy to the government overnight, but nobody knows why." There is a video of Yumang Long where he is seen interacting with kids and people are saying like, I mean, look at him. He says in the interview, "If I didn't get into the entertainment industry, I would have become a teacher." A lot of people have come forward to say really amazing things about him. His former middle school teacher has come out.

Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. for it seems like he just a lot of people say that he likes to live in harmony with the world. That was his energy. He was never super extroverted. He just seemed almost like that peaceful, wise character that's always there. Even 10 days after his passing, um there was a donation made to a charity and people saw his name and they were very emotional because it seems like he has these donations on autopay. It seems like automatically every month he's donating to people who need it more than he does. And as of right now, that's all we know about Yumang Long's case. I don't know if we will ever know more, but it does seem like every time someone suspiciously dies, the conversation seems to get bigger and it seems harder to censor it. And the first video that we posted about Yumang Long's passing has been age restricted. Um, I don't think that it's nefarious. I don't think

it's anything related to any sort of government entity. I think it's just the content of the story is just it it's going to be age restricted. So, it's inadvertently suppressed in its own way. What are your thoughts on this? What do you think happened? And do you think we'll ever get answers? Let me know in the comments. And be safe. And I will see you in the next one.
