Chapter 611: Chapter 611: Ning Mu Committed Suicide

"I’m doing quite well, actually." Shang Junxiao was utterly perplexed, feeling that everyone was acting strangely since he woke up this morning.

He couldn’t help but ask in confusion, "Brother Song, what’s going on with you guys today? Why does everyone look at me so oddly? Have I done something, or gotten myself into some sort of trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Song stared at him quietly for a few seconds, his face growing taut, and he spoke seriously, "Did you not get a chance to look at the news this morning?"

"No." Shang Junxiao was clueless, "I’ve never had the habit of watching the news in the morning. What’s the matter?"

Brother Song paused for a moment, then suggested, "You should take a look at it first. But Junxiao, before you read the news, you’d better be mentally prepared."

Shang Junxiao, his heart feeling a bit hairy from Brother Song’s solemn demeanor, forced a light chuckle, "What’s going on? Why is everyone being so serious? It can’t be that big of a deal. I’ve been honest recently, not doing anything..."

Muttering to himself, he still couldn’t resist pulling out his cell phone and accessing Weibo.

As soon as he did, he saw a trending hashtag at the top of Weibo.

Seeing the content, Shang Junxiao’s complexion turned drastically.

The forced calm in his smile vanished in an instant.

He frowned deeply, quickly opened the entry, and upon reading, his face immediately turned deathly pale.

"This... this has to be fake news, right?"

Shang Junxiao whipped his head around and stared at Brother Song fiercely, utterly disbelieving.

Seeing the forced smile on his face, Brother Song patted his shoulder and said heavily, "I know you and Ning Mu were close, but this is indeed the truth. Ning Mu indeed committed suicide. It happened last night, discovered by other residents in the community. The police have almost finished investigating, and the news has just been released, pretty much confirming the facts. Junxiao, my condolences..."

Shang Junxiao’s face was ashen as he stared blankly at Brother Song, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

The next second, as if unwilling to believe it, he grabbed his phone to double-check.

Today’s Weibo headline was indeed about Ning Mu’s suicide.

When he saw those few words, the world seemed to darken before Shang Junxiao’s eyes.

He couldn’t believe that Ning Mu would actually take his own life.

Yesterday...

Just yesterday, he had seen Ning Mu.

Images of meeting Ning Mu yesterday flooded Shang Junxiao’s mind.

His heart suddenly clenched tight.

In fact...

Ning Mu’s demeanor had been off yesterday.

He even told me he wanted to leave the industry...

At the time, I thought Ning Mu was just under too much pressure, and at worst, he would just leave the industry.

But I forgot, Ning Mu loved the stage so much, how could he just quietly step back?

Perhaps what Ning Mu meant from the start was not just simply to leave the industry.

Perhaps what he meant by leaving, from the beginning, was exactly this.

In such a way, to leave it all behind for good.

Then no one could bother him anymore, stop him from chasing his dreams...

But it was hard for Shang Junxiao to believe that Ning Mu, who always seemed so gentle and understanding, always comforting others, would choose such a way out.

The more Shang Junxiao thought about it, the worse he felt, his heart being gripped and squeezed tightly, struggling to breathe.

"Junxiao, Brother Song knows you and Ning Mu were close. I didn’t want to be the one to tell you about this, but with the news being so big, there’s no way you wouldn’t find out. Now that you know, you need to pull yourself together quickly."

Seeing Shang Junxiao’s complexion so pale, Brother Song was a bit worried.

He really didn’t want to be the one to tell Shang Junxiao about it, but how could such a big event be kept secret?

However, he truly hadn’t expected such a big reaction from Shang Junxiao.
