[People News] Mainland actor Yu Menglong tragically fell to his death in Beijing on September 11, 2025, at the age of 37. While the police initially ruled the cause of death as 'an accidental fall after drinking,' various doubts about the incident have emerged.

Recently, Facebook user Zhang Jialong disclosed: 'At the time of the incident, someone attempted to assist Yu Menglong, and gunshots were heard in the nearby community, leading to the deaths of several residents. How can you claim that those around Yu Menglong were unharmed?' A clear video has circulated online showing one of the crime scenes, the Sunshine Shangdong Community, indicating that gunshots were indeed heard that night.

On October 17, a blogger on platform X, 'News Investigation,' released a video from a netizen, revealing that numerous bystanders were present at the scene of Yu Menglong's fall, with a girl screaming loudly. Netizens claimed that the girl was shot dead on the spot. In addition to reports of residents being shot, several videos display a peculiar phenomenon — the cameras recording the footage were able to capture audio.

1. The questions surrounding the Yu Menglong case continue to intensify.

Media figure Li Mu Yang previously revealed on a program that suspect Song Yiren conspired with accomplices to delete video footage from the community's surveillance room after the incident, and reportedly even stole the hard drive containing the videos. This raises the question: how is it that surveillance videos are now surfacing? 'Videos with gunshots, videos with a girl screaming' all seem suspicious. This leads to the question of how the community's cameras could record audio. Furthermore, the sound quality is surprisingly clear, even capturing the sounds of insects.

In general, community surveillance cameras, even when equipped with recording capabilities, do not activate these features due to concerns for homeowners' privacy. Additionally, a significant issue is that the microphones on these cameras are positioned too far from individuals, resulting in poor audio quality, which discourages communities from using them. Internet users have disclosed to media personality Zhong Yilin that these cameras are military surveillance devices, which explains their recording functionality.

Publicly available information indicates that COMINT/SIGINT (Communication Intelligence) systems utilise high-frequency millimetre-wave radar. In practice, the military typically integrates video (CCTV/EO), audio (microphone/voice logger), radar/ELINT, COMINT, and acoustic sensors into a 'situational awareness' or ISR (Intelligence/Surveillance/Reconnaissance) framework, enabling them to 'see', 'hear', and 'intercept' the mobile signals exchanged among individuals.

This behaviour is self-sabotaging, suggesting that they are aware of the formidable forces at play behind the scenes, which they cannot withstand.

This raises the question: when did the military install surveillance cameras in the Yangguang East Community? A reasonable assumption is that the military has been monitoring individuals like Jiguang Guang and Cai Yijia for some time, and through eavesdropping, they were already aware of their intentions, allowing them to establish control over the crime scene.

Following the incident, some internet users quickly revealed the names of those involved online. However, the leaked on-site video shows that individuals like Xin Qi and Cai Yijia were not present, nor was Xi Yuanping. So how could anyone know who the masterminds were? This suggests that a powerful figure is orchestrating events from behind the scenes, prompting internet users to continue their search for the truth.

In contrast, those implicated in the Yu Menglong case, including Cai Qi and Xi Yuanping, appear to lack any means of defence; they are simply evading the situation and remaining silent. Reports suggest that Xi Jinping has been compelled to issue a gag order within the party.

2. The Fourth Plenary Session Marks the Beginning of a Power Struggle

On the eve of the Fourth Plenary Session, Xi Jinping's close aide, Cai Qi, found himself at the centre of multiple scandals. First, reports from the UK surfaced alleging Cai Qi's involvement in a spy case, and secondly, his illegitimate son, Cai Yijia, was implicated in the Yumo case.

Previously, Taiwanese media figure Hu Caiping commented that the persistent rumours surrounding the Yumo case were 'suspicious,' drawing parallels to the car accident involving Ling Jihua's son, Ling Gu, a decade ago, which ultimately led to Ling Jihua's failure to secure a position in the Politburo.

Commentator Li Linyi suggested that the Yumo murder case, occurring just before the Fourth Plenary Session, could serve as a tool for various factions within the Communist Party to target both Cai Qi and Xi Jinping during the session.

In the lead-up to the Fourth Plenary Session, overseas social media speculated on who might succeed Xi Jinping. Social media commentator Zhai Shanying, drawing from his experience in the State Council, recognised high-ranking officials within the Communist Party and predicted that the only individual besides Xi Jinping capable of controlling the Party's affairs system was Cai Qi.

If this holds true, the emergence of the Yumo case could be a trap set by anti-Xi factions to obstruct Cai Qi's ascent to power. The evolving situation is now increasingly focusing on Xi Jinping's family.

3. Investigating Children and Black Money Techniques: A Familiar Approach

Recently, NetEase published an article titled 'In-Depth Revelation: The Minister of Defence and the Commander of the Rocket Force Have Fallen, They Have Been 'Hunted' by the U.S. into a 'Funnel', ' which disclosed that Wei Fenghe and Li Shangfu were dismissed for selling military information to the U.S. The question remains: how much kickback did they receive?

Wei Fenghe has been reported for promoting 31 of his trusted aides during his time on the military discipline committee. Between 2016 and 2019, he split the Dongfeng 31-AG class simulation training software project into 12 sub-contracts, all of which were awarded to 'Sea Tech Limited', a company registered in the British Virgin Islands and controlled by the American firm Lockheed Martin. Wei Fenghe allowed his son, who was studying in the United States, to receive 274 million RMB and a villa in Los Angeles known as 'Half Mountain Villa', provided by the American side.

While serving as Minister of Armed Forces Development, Li Shangfu disclosed three bidding bases for hypersonic missile tenders to an aviation company in Beijing. This company then sourced materials from the American firm Carbon Valley, marking up the price by 70%. Li Shangfu's son opened a bank account in Switzerland using a Singapore passport and received 138 million USD from the American side over three years, in addition to an apartment in Manhattan, USA. The bid bases were sold by Li Shangfu's military aide, Yang, to a Chinese-American at a tea house in Beijing for 6 million USD, after which the buyer transferred 6 million USD to Li Shangfu's Swiss account.

An article from NetEase indicates that the investigators looking into Li Shangfu and Wei Fenghe have focused on their sons, uncovering 144 million USD linked to Li Shangfu and 274 million RMB linked to Wei Fenghe. The approach of 'investigating children + investigating illicit funds' appears to align with the cases involving Australian figure Yang Lanlan and Yu Menglong, as well as behind-the-scenes figures such as Cai Yijia, Xin Qi, and Aurora Guang.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission have reported on the national disciplinary inspection and supervision situation for the period from January to September 2025. During this time, a total of 677,000 individuals were disciplined by the national disciplinary inspection and supervision authorities, including 41 officials at the provincial and ministerial levels. Since Xi Jinping took office, 7 million party members and officials have been investigated. If each of these individuals had 100 million confiscated, where did the total of 700 trillion in assets go? Did it escape overseas through Tianyu Company for laundering?

The funds that require laundering are certainly illegal gains. On the eve of the Fourth Plenary Session, the U.S. charged Chen Zhi of the Cambodian Prince Group and confiscated his 15 billion U.S. dollars in Bitcoin. Following this, countries like Singapore and Thailand also planned to seize his assets. Some media outlets have assessed that the amount involved in Chen Zhi's case is at least 100 billion U.S. dollars. Additionally, it has been revealed that Chen Zhi acts as a frontman for Xi Jinping's family, raising the question of whether Tianyu Company is also involved in laundering money for overseas fraud groups.

In conclusion, the cases of Yu Menglong and Yang Lanlan may signify yet another confrontation between the anti-Xi faction and their own ranks. If the financial dealings of Xi Jinping and Cai Qi remain unresolved, and their children are not held accountable, the anti-Xi faction is unlikely to back down easily.
