She was temporarily rendered speechless.
Her brother curled his lips into a smile. “The way you’re always keeping things to yourself makes feel left out.”
Looking pensive, the man then turned his head away and sipped his coffee.
She hung her head low dumbly, feeling sowhat lost.
Co morning, Lu Jingtian remained in a critical condition.

The renowned actress remains in the ER even now. According to the bar manager, Lu Jingtian arrived there alone and headed straight to the second floor. Twenty minutes later, she was seen engulfed in fire as she rolled down the stairs, writhing in agony and screaming for help.

[@StarlightNews: Bar denies all responsibility on Lu Jingtian’s mishap, citing the actress being on the surveillance cara’s blind angle as reason for their late rescue. According to reports, no one at the scene then noticed what was happening to the starlet because no other custors were on the second floor. The bar manager speculated that the artist might have been playing with a lighter, and then she accidentally set herself on fire, which quickly spread to engulf her in a matter of seconds.

Huanyu’s official Weibo page had been keeping silent all this while, with not even a public announcent regarding the matter.
It, thus, prompted many netizens to leave comnts on the company’s Weibo page, expressing their disappointnt on it.
[Can a lighter really set a person on fire right away? Even though her clothes were made of flammable material, the fire shouldn’t spread that fast, should it? Usually, when a person’s clothes catch fire, their imdiate reaction is to put out the fire or call for help, right? From the footage, the fire spread so fast that she didn’t even have the chance to save herself. I don’t believe that it’s only the work of a lighter. There must be sothing else that caused the fire to grow so fast and strong. It’s been a few hours since the incident happened, yet Huanyu hasn’t even co forward to clarify the matter. There isn’t even any announcent about it. Just what exactly are they doing?]
[The clothes will only ignite right away upon contact with fla if there’s gasoline or so other flammable liquid on them.]
[That’s terrible! I heard that Lu Jingtian had received extensive burns. Apparently, it’s so bad that even her vocal cords were damaged. I wonder if she can still speak in the future.]
[I thought she was trying to commit suicide at first, but then again, would anyone kill themselves using such a painful thod? It’s not like she’s a cult follower. Besides, is there a need for her to go to a bar to kill herself?]
[I’ve been studying the footage carefully. The footage shows soone in black—gender unknown—calmly coming down from the second floor when Lu Jingtian was on fire. That person was so freakishly calm it’s not hard to link them to this incident. Was it... preditated?]
The netizens were discussing this incident so much so that it quickly beca the talk of the town. Rumors and gossip were rife for a mont.
