The news of Shi Lan's critical illness was like a bombshell that exploded without warning, buzzing in the ears of the public. The news spread from an online forum, where it was revealed that the cause was right heart enlargement due to pulmonary hypertension during pregnancy. She was now receiving lifesaving treatment in the critical care unit at City Hospital, and the baby might be delivered prematurely; however, whether the baby could survive was unknown.
After the news spread, Shuangshi and Peak jointly decreased the intensity of the coverage, but since Shi Lan was always at the top, seven or eight trending search terms associated with her floated on the homepage, each followed by the word "explosive."
Eventually, it seemed impossible to cool down the fervor, and Shuangshi Group officially made a statement.
