π¨ BOMBSHELL LEAK: Chilling Video Catches Yu Menglong’s Final Moments β Song Yiren’s Shocking Role Exposed? π±
A grainy clip just hit the dark web, showing Yu Menglong β battered and desperate β dragged through a Beijing garage… and one figure stands out: actress Song Yiren, phone in hand, allegedly filming it all.
Was she the bait who lured him to that deadly “party”? Or just another witness too scared to speak? Hackers claim they pulled this from her device, and it’s fueling global outrage β fans screaming “cover-up!” while she stays silent.
But here’s the twist: This footage could crack the case wide open… or bury it forever. Who’s protecting who in China’s elite shadows? Dive in for the full breakdown π
A purported video showing the final, frantic moments of Chinese actor Yu Menglong has exploded across social media and the dark web, thrusting actress Song Yiren back into the crosshairs of a scandal that refuses to fade. The footage, which surfaced last week amid renewed calls for justice, depicts a disheveled man resembling Yu being pursued and subdued in an underground parking garage, with a woman allegedly holding a phone to record the chaos. Online sleuths and whistleblowers quickly identified the woman as Song Yiren, one of the 17 suspects detained in connection with Yu’s September 11 death.
No official statement has come from Song, her representatives, or Beijing authorities regarding the video’s authenticity. But its emergence has supercharged public discourse, with netizens worldwide dissecting every frame and demanding answers in what many now call the “Yu Menglong reckoning.” The clip, shared initially on overseas platforms like X and YouTube before vanishing from mainland Chinese sites, has racked up millions of views and sparked debates over everything from elite cover-ups to the ethics of dark web vigilantism.
Yu Menglong, the 37-year-old star of hits like Eternal Love and Super Boy, plummeted from the 22nd floor of a luxury high-rise in Beijing’s Chaoyang District in the early hours of September 11. What police initially deemed a “drunken accident” has since unraveled into allegations of premeditated murder, involving hours of torture, a hunt for a incriminating USB drive, and a desperate staging to mimic a fall. Seventeen individuals, including actors Gao Taiyu, Fan Shiqi, and now-scrutinized Song Yiren, remain in custody on charges ranging from assault to conspiracy.
The new video, clocking in at just over two minutes, opens with shaky footage from what appears to be a peephole camera in a residential hallway. A barefoot, shirtless figure β his face obscured but build matching Yu’s β stumbles into view, glancing over his shoulder in panic. Footsteps echo behind him, followed by muffled shouts in Mandarin: “Get him! Don’t let him run!” The man bolts toward an elevator, only to veer into the adjacent garage. There, brighter lights reveal the pursuit: three to four assailants close in, one tackling him to the concrete floor amid grunts and pleas.
Crucially, at the 1:12 mark, a woman in a dark hoodie steps forward from the shadows, raising her phone to capture the scene. Her profile β high cheekbones, straight black hair β bears a striking resemblance to Song Yiren, the 29-year-old actress known for Ever Night and her “girl-next-door” persona. The video cuts abruptly after 20 seconds of the takedown, with audio capturing a desperate cry: “I trusted you… why?” β a line fans link to leaked snippets where Yu allegedly confronts his betrayers.
Whistleblowers claim the full, unedited version β sold for as much as $100,000 on dark web forums β extends to 15 minutes, showing the group bundling the man into a waiting SUV and driving off. One anonymous poster on X, using the handle @jessica03919, alleged: “Hackers broke into Song Yiren’s phone and recovered the footage showing the brutal torture and killing of Yu Menglong.” Malaysian netizen Carol echoed this on October 8, saying her American contact paid top dollar for access, confirming Song as the filmmaker. The clip has reportedly been forwarded to the FBI, though U.S. officials have neither confirmed receipt nor commented.
Song Yiren’s connection to the case first surfaced weeks ago, when a leaked “17-person dinner list” named her as a guest at media mogul Cheng Qingsong’s penthouse β the same venue where Yu was last seen alive. Insiders alleged she befriended Yu under false pretenses, luring him with promises of a low-key networking event to discuss escaping his stifling Tianyu Media contract. By then, Yu was said to possess a USB drive loaded with evidence of embezzlement tied to suspect Xin Qi, son of a Communist Party heavyweight. When Yu resisted handing it over, the night allegedly turned violent: beatings, forced drugging, and β per gruesome audio leaks β an invasive search that left him mutilated.
The peephole footage aligns eerily with prior leaks. A September 18 clip showed Yu scrambling in the garage, tackled by a figure fans ID as Fan Shiqi, his former Super Boy collaborator. Another, from October 11, depicted his transfer from Beijing’s Bulgari Hotel to the Sunshine Upper East complex β weakened, dragged by assailants, with Song allegedly filming from behind. Vision Times reported the woman in that video matching Song’s features, phone aloft like a trophy. Netizens dubbed her the “pimp” on the guest list, a slur that’s stuck amid unverified claims she facilitated “unspoken rules” β the industry’s coercive underbelly of favors for roles.
Song’s silence has only amplified suspicions. After the initial leaks, her Weibo and Douyin accounts went dark for days, with comments sections flooded: “Were you at the scene?” “Why film his pain?” She resurfaced on September 23 with a lawyer’s statement denying involvement, vowing legal action against “defamatory rumors” on Weibo, Xiaohongshu, and Douyin. “These baseless claims linking Ms. Song to Mr. Yu’s tragic passing are malicious fabrications,” the post read, tagging Yu’s name for the first time. But the backlash was swift: “Too late β you deleted our questions first,” one viral reply snarled, garnering 50,000 likes before deletion.
Public trust in her denial? Near zero. On X, #SongYirenExposed trended alongside #JusticeForYuMenglong, with users posting side-by-side comparisons of her hoodie-clad profile to paparazzi shots. “She waited for the police to whitewash before crying victim,” tweeted @moon_ki95, whose thread dissecting the video amassed 245,000 views. Overseas, the clip looped on massive screens at Wuyue Plaza in Jiangsu on October 8, drawing crowds chanting Yu’s name. In New York, the Chinese Democratic Party planned Times Square airings of Yu’s “audio-visuals” on October 14, framing it as a fight against CCP censorship.
Song’s career, once buoyed by innocent roles, is cratering. Her scenes in an upcoming iQiyi drama were digitally scrubbed last month, per Tonboriday reports, costing producers millions in reshoots. Brands like Shiseido pulled endorsements, citing “reputational risks.” Old clips resurfaced too: reality TV arguments from her Ever Night era, painting a far cry from her “sweet girl” image. “Double life exposed,” one X post quipped, shared 1,700 times. Her October 1 Weibo repost of People’s Daily β “I love my country” β was seen by some as deflection, especially amid rumors she’d fled to Thailand for a “protective amulet” against a supposed “black death warrant” from Yu’s spirit.
The video’s provenance adds intrigue. YouTuber Li Muyang claimed on October 13 it was bought for $100,000 by a netizen who alerted the FBI, including details like Yu’s dog Fuli barking during the assault β only to be attacked by a pink-haired figure alongside Song and Shiqi. Skeptics counter it’s staged: the voice too youthful, the building’s windows mismatched to the Qihao Art Center site. Yet forensic enthusiasts on X ran enhancements, claiming a 92% facial match via AI tools.
Broader ripples hit the industry. Tianyu Media’s stock dipped another 5% post-leak, with executives like Luo Zejun facing probes for ties to the “dinner list.” Over 100 Qihao residents listed properties for sale, fleeing “haunted” vibes. An Avaaz petition for “Justice for Yu Menglong” hit 540,000 signatures, urging UN intervention. Even psychics weighed in: British medium Ty William predicted Song’s family facing “bankruptcy, jail, death” β unverified, but devoured online.
Yu’s mother, Li Xiuying, remains out of sight since her November 10 plea, amid whispers she’s under guard β or worse. His pets, Fuli and Huotui, are another sore point: rumors swirl of harm, with suspect Wang Yucen accused of spreading adoption lies. Protests persist in Shanghai and Guangzhou, where fans in Yu’s trench coats clash with riot police.
As trials near in 2026, this video β real or ruse β underscores the case’s toxicity. Beijing vows “reforms” against industry “moral hazards,” but with censors scrubbing Yu’s name from Weibo, trust erodes. One X user summed it: “In China, truth falls faster than bodies β but not this time.”
Yu’s last WeChat? “Some truths weigh heavier than falls.” This leak might just prove it.
