Shi Lan hung up the phone call with Sun Ling and opened the interview video Sun Ling had sent to her.
In the video, An Yang lay on the hospital bed, his head wrapped in gauze and his leg in a cast, his body covered in open wounds and bruises, presenting a truly pitiable sight.
"I am An Yang, the brother of artist An Lan, and I am nineteen years old. Over the years, everyone has been saying how my sister sold herself to pay my debts, how great she is, but in fact, she has never cared about my life or death. I lived in a basement, sustained myself by performing in a bar, and it was my two cousins who took care of me. My sister, from beginning to end, never showed up; she only used me as a tool to garner sympathy."
