The Chinese entertainment world is reeling. Rumors and internal whispers have erupted into a media storm: hours before Yu Menglong’s tragic fall, Yang Mi — one of China’s most powerful and beloved stars — reportedly attempted to reach him. She made a call. She sent a message. She may have held the key to preventing disaster.
For fans and the media, the question hovers: was this a desperate, last-minute attempt to help a troubled friend, or is there a deeper, more sinister connection that has been hushed until now?
Today, after weeks of investigation, new evidence and insider testimonies are beginning to coalesce. What emerges is a story of friendship, hidden cries for help, fatal timing, and possible secrets that powerful people may have wanted to bury.
On the evening of September 10, 2025, Yu Menglong was reportedly in a state of emotional turmoil. According to multiple unconfirmed sources, he had been battling personal and professional pressures for weeks — rumors of contract disputes, financial stress, and mental strain had circulated online.
In the early hours of September 11, Yu’s body was discovered at the base of a residential building in Chaoyang District, Beijing. Officially, authorities declared his death a result of an accidental fall.Yet many in the public sphere refuse to accept the official version — calling it incomplete or even orchestrated.
Within 24 hours, tributes flooded social media feeds. Among them, Yang Mi wrote: “Rest in peace. May your new journey be peaceful.” It was a brief message, but sudden reports now claim her words may merely mask a more urgent involvement.
According to two independent insiders (who requested anonymity), Yang Mi placed an unrecorded call to Yu sometime between 11:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. — less than four hours before his body was found. The call purportedly went unanswered.
Moments later, a text message was sent from her official number: “Please call me. I’m worried.” The message, these insiders say, was delivered but also remained unanswered. Investigators recovered the message logs during a forensic sweep of Yu’s phone data. These messages have not been publicly released, but their existence is now being verified by digital forensics experts.
A third insider claims Yang Mi tried privately, through intermediaries, to reach Yu earlier in the evening but was told he was unreachable. Whether this was due to being offline, silent mode, or blocked access remains uncertain.
Some in the industry speculate that the timing is just a coincidence — two big stars operating in the same circles, intermittent contact, nothing more. But others argue that her efforts were strikingly concerted and close enough in time to raise suspicion.
