Chinese actor Yu Menglong died after falling from a building on September 11. The case is full of suspicious points, and there are rumors that Fan Shiqi was shouting at the scene, ordering others to “knock Yu Menglong out and cut him open.” This has also affected ticket sales for Fan Shiqi's fan meetings; moreover, the drama he stars in, “Shine For Me,” has faced boycotts. In the show, he plays “Jiang Liang,” who deliberately approaches Zhao Lusi, with a playboy image and disgusting behavior, leading many viewers to sneer that this is just him playing himself.
Fan Shiqi plays an investor from Yuanhang Fund in “Shine For Me,” a difficult and womanizing character. Many wealthy heiresses hoping to get close to him are willing to lower themselves. In the latest episodes, Zhao Lusi and Chen Weiting have a heated divorce and Zhao ventures out to start her own business. While seeking investment, she happens to run into Fan Shiqi’s character, who gives her a lot of advice, introduces her to a photographer, and even ends up funding her.
After Chen Weiting finds out that Fan is Zhao Lusi's investor, he's extremely upset, saying, “He's just an idle playboy. He’s no good!” He flies into a rage, and the two even have an argument. Yet from start to finish, what Fan Shiqi has his eyes on isn’t Zhao Lusi’s business, but Zhao herself. He keeps making flirty insinuations, saying things like, “When a woman is untouchable and unshakable, there’s a very charming aura about her,” leading many viewers to say this is clearly just Fan’s true self on display.
After Yu Menglong’s death, many videos purportedly showing him being beaten have emerged; in them, a male voice can be heard screaming, crying out “Fan Xiaohua, save me,” causing widespread suspicion that Fan Shiqi was at the scene at the time. In another audio clip, he can allegedly be heard threatening coldly, “Spit it out, hurry up, knock him out and open him up.” What the public is most concerned about is the rumored “red USB drive.” According to some reports, Yu had a wound on his abdomen, suspected to be cut open for someone to retrieve something. Fans are calling for the authorities to release the full autopsy report and surveillance footage.
