A well-known idol was assassinated during the concert at Tokyo Do, which was a much more sensational news than a simple concert. Soon, this news spread, and the hospital where Xingye Ai was being treated was also crowded with reporters and fans, completely surrounding the hospital.
Considering that things would only beco more troubleso if this continued, as soon as Xingye Ai’s condition stabilized, Duanmu Huai decisively contacted a specialized hospital and planned to transfer Xingye Ai there for further treatnt.
However...
"Ah, this is driving crazy!"
Sitting in the car, looking at the crowd outside, Ruby angrily waved her hands.
"Why are these people blocking the way here! The cars are all stuck at the crossroads, we can’t get out at all!"
"Those reporters are even trying to check every vehicle entering and leaving the hospital, they truly are relentless."
The President frowned as well.
"Maybe soone in the hospital sold the information to the dia, it’s a common occurrence."
"What are we supposed to do now."
Even the President driving the car felt frustrated, but Duanmu Huai stayed calm and pointed outside the window.
"The sidewalk is quite spacious, drive there."
"Huh?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s command, the President was startled.
"But, the sidewalk is full of people......"
"Just drive."
"This, this......"
Although he wanted to dismiss it as childish talk, the overwhelming pressure from Duanmu Huai made the President’s face turn pale, and even Ruby felt terrified and uneasy. Luckily, at that mont, the hospital had reported to the police, who soon arrived to disperse the crowd blocking the way, allowing them to leave the hospital.
"Phew......"
Leaving the hospital and confirming there were no pursuers, the President finally breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glancing at the expressionless white-haired girl sitting next to him through the rearview mirror. The latter was quietly gazing at the scenery outside the car window, her frail, slender form, coupled with her seemingly sorrowful blood-red eyes, showed no hint of the fierce girl who would rush out and crush the reporters if needed...
Even Ruby dared not lose her temper now, sitting silently beside Xingye Ai, obediently looking at her mother.
They now understood that angering Duanmu Huai was a very serious matter.
After that, they arrived at another hospital and admitted Xingye Ai into a special care ward. This hospital specializes in treating individuals with special status, to prevent them from being harassed and interrupted by reporters, making it a good place for Xingye Ai.
After a diagnosis by the doctors there, the conclusion was consistent: she might awaken, but when that would happen was unknown. It might be a couple of days, or she might not wake up for years... But why this strange condition when it’s not a brain disorder? The CT scan showed no abnormalities in the brain?
Even the doctors found it peculiar, but with the strength of modern dicine, maintaining Xingye Ai’s vital signs wasn’t a problem. The rest would rely on ti, perseverance, and...
Also, money.
Fortunately, the dia frenzy around Xingye Ai didn’t last long and dissipated, and the household registration of Duanmu Huai and Ruby was under the President’s na, so they were not affected. Thus, Xingye Ai remained in the hospital for life support treatnt, while Duanmu Huai and Ruby lived under the care of Saito Kyoko, President Saito Ikuta’s wife, who was also Xingye Ai’s agent and guardian.
After that, Xingye Ai never woke up, and the idol group that lost her was disbanded two years later. Almost simultaneously, President Saito disappeared.
As for Ruby...... Initially, she visited the hospital almost every day to see her mother, and since Duanmu Huai couldn’t stop her, he let her go. But after a period, Ruby ca to Duanmu Huai with a very serious expression and said to him.
"I have a feeling that if I beco an idol like Mom and fulfill her unfulfilled wish, performing at the Tokyo Do, then Mom will wake up! So...... I want to be an idol!"
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely sure!"
"Okay, then go to class."
".........Huh?"
"Do you think being an idol only requires you to smile? Singing and dancing, go practice, and if you complain about it being hard and not want to continue, that’s your problem."
"........."
Faced with Duanmu Huai’s conditions, Ruby was dumbstruck, but what else could she do?
What else could she do? Just go and practice?
Duanmu Huai wasn’t fond of the idol industry, but he knew the entertainnt industry is about one minute on stage and ten years of practice off stage. He could understand the young girl’s impulsive desire to beco an idol, but first, she should take dance, body, and vocal lessons for three to five years, then reconsider whether she really wants to beco an idol.
Becoming an idol isn’t as simple as a spontaneous decision, then just going for it. Since his sister has made up her mind, while she’s still young, she should lay a solid foundation.
Duanmu Huai really couldn’t stand those talentless celebrities who gained popularity through pure hype.
Especially in this internet age, everyone buys into that......
Of course, Duanmu Huai wasn’t idle either, after that, he was also finding ways to make money. But to Duanmu Huai, making money wasn’t just about acting. He decisively bought a film company—after all, Duanmu Huai’s experiences had long taught him that however famous an actor might be, they’re of no use. Money and power are what truly reign at the pinnacle of the entertainnt world, and he didn’t want to deal with those tedious matters while shooting films, so he thought, being the boss would solve that!
