The Film Emperor's Daily Live Cooking Broadcast

Ch35 – Identity Exposure Crisis

He Yun Chen closed the broadcast with a very composed expression. When he finished all the work at hand, he headed downstairs and prepared to leave the headquarters.

However, when he was about to leave the military building, the guards at the security department suddenly called out to him. “Marshal, we have your delivery.”

After seeing the familiar packaging and the word “food”, He Yun Chen’s mood suddenly turned from cloudy to clear.

“Thank you.” He took the package quietly and hurried to his own suspended car.

Back at the He Family mansion, He Yun Yi was already seated in the living room with a familiar preservation box in front of him. It contained the delicious set meal prepared during the live broadcast today.

“Huh, A’Chen, you’re home already? Come, brother has brought you some delicious food.” When he saw his younger brother coming, He Yun Yi patted the preservation box on the table and said with a smile, “Although I would have had a share originally, my luck today was good and I won one at the lottery.”

He Yun Yi narrowed his eyes and the corners of his eyes rose. He said, “Do you think I should also send the anchor a meteor shower and a “QAQ” expression as well? Hm?”

He Yun Chen coldly looked at this mentally retarded brother of his and knew that he was being taunted. Originally, he might have reacted the way He Yun Yi wanted to but now...

Feeling the weight in his hands, a sudden warmth burst in his heart. He walked slowly to the table, and set his package on it. He then raised his chin slightly, and sneered, “No need, I have my own.”

He Yun Yi looked on incredulously as He Yun Chen slowly removed the courier box and took out a preservation box that was more than twice as big as his own. In particular, the stuffed peppers — when Ruan Tang had been making it, he had already cut one in half. To give each of the lottery winners a piece, he had to cut that in half again. But the ones in He Yun Chen’s box were 2 whole pieces!

Didn’t he already tell Ruan Tang not to be too biased? ! (╯‵□’)╯(┻━┻

He pressed his hand to He Yun Chen’s preservation box, his eyebrows rose slightly, and he looked at the other from head to toe, sizing him up. He smiled and shouted upstairs, “Dad, Mom, come down to eat.”

He might be angry but he wasn’t stupid enough to let go of food that was right in front of him. He hated not being able to eat enough! The two packages that the brothers received were added up, and it was enough for their family of four to eat to their hearts’ content.

Ran Jing and He Wei Ye were very satisfied with Ruan Tang’s craftsmanship. After eating their fill, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. He Yun Chen took a shower and came out in his pajamas. He saw his brother sitting on the bed. He Yun Yi had on his “remaining calm and composed while handling pressing affairs” look.

He Yun Yi raised his chin. “Take a look at Weibo.”

He Yun Chen glanced at him and sat down on the sofa and opened his own Weibo. He first looked at the news but there was nothing out of the ordinary. The homepage was also calm. Even the notice issued by the military two days ago was still there.

He narrowed his eyes and clicked on the hot searches, suddenly his pupils shrank.

#Ruan Tang Identity#

#Film Emperor Ruan Tang#

#Four Star Chef Ruan Tang#

These three consecutive topics have firmly occupied the top three of the hot search list, a good chunk of the searches.

He had passed three levels in one day and got the qualification of a four-star chef in one fell swoop. This inconceivable thing was jaw-dropping-ly shocking. Four-star chefs were extremely rare and precious; not to mention that his assessment had set a record for both the number of viewers and the passing rate. This feat that surpassed all others of its kind before and since, caused him to receive intense scrutiny and attention. The live video recorded during the his four-star chef’s assessment has exceeded 400 billion views and was still rising. It was conceivable how popular Ruan Tang was in the Empire right now.

The number of fans who follow Ruan Tang on Weibo had reached an astonishing 1.5 billion.

Ruan Tang had just registered on Weibo two days ago and didn’t go on Weibo that much. Naturally, he didn’t know the trending topics on Weibo. With his rising popularity, and his ability to make any food into a delicious dish, people have become very curious about him.

He stubbornly refused to appear on his broadcasts, he had refused to join the chefs’ association, and he wasn’t willing to accept any interviews or program invitations. Besides those two hands in the broadcasts and his amazing cooking skills, people knew nothing about him and had no way to know anything about him.

There have been various speculations on Weibo, and many people who claimed to be his old classmates have come out and said that they know Ruan Tang and so on. Some people guessed that he is a legacy of ancient Earth. Some people say that he is a descendant of a hidden family. There was also a small group of people who were jumping around saying he’s the spirit of an apple tree.

However, these were mostly empty speculation and the netizens didn’t take them seriously. They were only joking around and poking fun. But this time was different. The one to break the news was an entertainment paparazzi with hundreds of millions of fans. There was weight behind the words of this account and the netizens trusted him. At 8 o’clock tonight, he suddenly released a new post on Weibo.

“@Wei Zhuo V: The true identity of the newly-certified four-star chef is actually the film emperor who’s been in a coma for five years? Is he down and out or is this a comeback? Revealing the secret identity of this chef surnamed Ruan! [Picture][Picture][Picture]”

There were three pictures, one was a photo for comparison and skeletal analysis. Another one was hospitalization records and some contract screenshots. The third picture has only one sentence: “What happened in the past five years?”

The photo in the first picture was a screenshot.

At the time of the four-star assessment, although Ruan Tang had used the first person perspective, the assessment itself still adopted the fixed-point live broadcast method before he officially started cooking. The switch between the two perspectives was only a moment, but it wasn’t a problem for those who were good at video production. It was all too easy to cut out a picture by slowing down the playback rate.

Although the picture was just a vague outline of the body, even the facial features and clothes are darkened out, but this wasn’t a problem for the current interstellar technology.

Wei Zhuo found a back view photo of Film Emperor Ruan Tang, and put it together with this screenshot. Apart from the body size — the chef was thinner — but from the height to the body proportion, even the length of the neck, the head and the shoulders were all the same.

In order to prove that this wasn’t just his subjective judgement, he also attached a screenshot of the software analysis. The screenshot was compared with other photos of the Film Emperor, and the results obtained by software analysis were that the similarity was 99.99%.

There are no two identical leaves in the world. Obviously, there were no two people whose skeletal frame were similar to this level.

To corroborate his analysis was the second picture — the Imperial First Hospital’s hospitalization chart.

When the Film Emperor Ruan Tang met with an accident, his head suffered a very serious injury and he fell into a coma. Because the mech that was used during the shooting was a unit that had been phased out by the military, it had certain problems. Therefore, it was very difficult to determine the cause of the accident. It is unclear whether it was an accident or sabotage. Even the responsibility cannot be determined, so there had been a lot of discussions on the star network. This was news that most people have heard. Even the location where the Film Emperor was hospitalized was also exposed, and it was the Imperial First Hospital.

It is unknown where Wei Zhuo got hold of Ruan Tang’s hospitalization information, but according to the information registered on the hospitalization form, the film emperor was discharged from the hospital one and a half months ago. Along with that was a photo of the contract cancellation, although it used code numbers, but you could still see the date and signature. In other words, the day before his discharge, the Film Emperor had already reached an agreement to terminate his contract with his entertainment company!

No one expected that after the Film Emperor had woken up from his five-year coma, he not only did not return to the entertainment circle, but he had also terminated his contract with the entertainment company. And all of this was done without any notice!

Moreover, the day when he was discharged from the hospital was the same day as when the four-star chef started broadcasting for the first time! The time between them was only a few hours!

In this way, it directly set the conclusion that “Film Emperor Ruan Tang = anchor Ruan Tang”, and the final nail on the coffin was that the slight body difference now became strong evidence for this claim. Being in a coma for five years would definitely make a person thin.

Someone else illustrated the anchor’s gradual change in body condition from his first broadcast. At first Ruan Tang only wore long sleeves but he eventually transitioned to wearing short sleeves. You could clearly see his arm start to gain some muscle. It was all very much in keeping with a recovering body.

When they hadn’t yet connected the Film Emperor Ruan Tang with the Chef Ruan Tang, the netizens didn’t care about this at all. But now that the connection had been confirmed, in hindsight, it seemed that there were clues everywhere.

At this time, even if someone were to come out with some logical reason for the Film Emperor Ruan Tang and the Anchor Ruan Tang to not be the same person, no one would be willing to believe him.

What’s more, this was an actual fact...

Looking at this hubbub on the star network, it wasn’t difficult to imagine that tomorrow’s media reporters would be out for blood, looking to unearth information about Ruan Tang. His peaceful life would be completely thrown into chaos.

Thinking of this, He Yun Chen turned off the light brain, stood up, took his coat, and with large strides strode downstairs.

“Where do you think you’re going?” He Yun Yi was stunned but hurried after him.

“I am going to look for him.”

He Yun Yi pulled him back and slightly wrinkled his handsome brows. “This isn’t a behavior that a fan should have.”

He Yun Chen pursed his lips and said firmly: “I’m not a fan, I am his room manager.”
