Yu Menglong’s Death Fuels Xi's Fall! 5 ‘Red' Descendants & Cai Qi’s Murder Cover-Up!

When a senior official is simultaneously accused of involvement in international espionage and swept into the deadly whirlpool of entertainment scandals, it ceases to be merely the business of celebrities or whispers in political corridors. From the mysterious death of Yu Mengguang to the chilling videos circulating online, from traces of the Red Descendants among 17 suspects to murmurs of a shadowy power pulling the strings, everything seems to converge, pushing Kai Qi, Xi Jinping's right-hand man, into an unprecedented political storm. At the same time, Xi himself is staggering under the heavy blows dealt by Jiang Yuxia and the military faction. This is not just a mysterious murder case. It is a ruthless power struggle at the very top of Chinese politics. And perhaps the Yu Mengguang affair is only the opening curtain revealing a stage soaked in blood, tears, and power games in the lead-up to the fourth plenary session. What lies beneath? Let's dig deeper today. Are 17 Suspects Red Descendants? A Beijing police officer once wrote a note, admitting he was still a rookie, assigned to investigate a very difficult case. In his post, he said the victim was an actor who died under highly unusual circumstances. He had allegedly fallen from the sixth floor of a luxury Beijing apartment complex, one fitted with diamond-reinforced steel mesh. That mesh was so strong that only a blade could cut through it, but certainly not a falling body. The officer described how the case was reported. The caller was not a friend of the victim, but an elderly woman walking her dog early in the morning. She was the first to see the scene and noticed immediately that it was unlike any other case. The victim's face was a bloody mess. His body lay face down in a bizarre position, and from such a height, the injuries did not match a typical fall. From the street to the apartment, there was no rescue access. The building was called Sunshine Shandong. The officer went on, In my line of work, we obey orders from above. Whatever instructions come down, we follow them, wrap up the paperwork, take away the body. But as a newcomer, he sensed this case was different from all the others. Carefully, he hinted that the incident was deeply suspicious, and that higher-level instructions had already determined how it should be handled, just for show. Others who knew more broke down in tears, saying there were things they simply could not reveal. The powers behind this were far too strong, impossible to fight. As I shared yesterday, Ji Guangguang is a descendant of the Party Princelings, with an immensely powerful family background on both paternal and maternal sides. He is said to be the grandson of former Premier Li Peng and great-grandson of legendary Revolutionary General Ye Ting, whose stature in official history is towering, virtually a mythical figure of the Red Army. I also mentioned earlier that Song Yiren's mother had close ties with the authorities, even reportedly acquainted with Peng Liyuan. Actress Tian Hairong is closely linked to Jiang Zemin's faction. Her late husband, Xu Ming, was known as the White Glove of Bo Xilai. Then there is Fu Zicha, also suspected to be a descendant of a founding general of the CCP. According to information dug up by netizens, Fu Zicha may be the grandson of Fu Dintu, also known as Fu Shaohai, a founding major general of the People's Liberation Army, originally from Guangxiang, Henan. He once served as deputy chief of staff of the Tibet military region and later as chairman of the Tibet Association. He died of illness in Chengdu in 1966 at the age of 54. He and his wife Zhu Yifeng had eight children, seven daughters and one son. Although no direct evidence of blood relation has been found between Fu Zicha and Fu Dintu, other photos circulated online show Fu Jinlong, deputy general manager of Yangguangxinye, tied to 19 companies. As of March this year, he remained the legal representative of nine firms and managed 15. It remains unclear whether Fu Jinlong is related by blood to Fu Zicha or Fu Dintu, but the surname Fu is exceedingly rare in China. Only about 190,000 people bear it. If Fu Zicha truly descends from Fu Dintu, then he too would be a third generation red, with a background to match. It is therefore not difficult to understand why the Yu Menglong case was suppressed. The hidden story behind it extends far beyond the boundaries of an entertainment scandal. Is the Yu Menglong case really a move to take down Cai Qi? The impact of Yu Menglong's case has grown rapidly, with major international media outlets reporting on it one after another. Many sources claim that Cai Qi's illegitimate son is involved and that Cai's political rivals intend to use this scandal as a sacrificial banner ahead of the fourth plenary session of the 20th CCP Congress, a strike aimed directly at one of Xi Jinping's closest allies. On October 2nd, Ren Minbao reported that overseas commentator Lu Zheng revealed the following. After the Yu Menglong case broke out, Wang Xiaohong, China's minister of public security, quickly suppressed the story and labeled it an accident on the surface. But in reality, he secretly dispatched trusted aides to investigate the truth. This has led to speculation that Wang is holding solid evidence pointing to Cai Qi as the true figure behind the incident. According to Lu Zheng, signs of an internal CCP push to oust Cai Qi have been visible for some time. Back in November 2024, the Central Inspection Team used the excuse of cross-strait affairs to collect corruption evidence against Cai's wife, Lin Chengsheng, who served as deputy secretary of the Cross-Strait Entrepreneurs' Association. Rumor has it that on October 1st of this year, Lin was taken away for investigation. Up Media reported that the fourth plenary session of the 20th CCP Congress will convene in mid-October. Recently, when Cai Qi accompanied Xi Jinping to inspect an exhibition celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, his face appeared stiff, showing no emotion. Unsurprisingly, he had no reason to smile. His family was under political purge and the weight of public scandal. Meanwhile, the ex-account Xinwen Diaocha claimed that the real killer in the Yu Menglong case had been identified as Cai Yizha, birth name Tai Zhengjun, who bears a striking resemblance to Cai Qi, shares the same family name, and whose family background remains extremely mysterious, with no traceable records. According to Baidu Baike, available information on Tai Yizha is scarce. His real name is Cai Zhengjun. He graduated from the performance department of the Central Academy of Drama, and was born on June 25, 1996, into a civil servant family in Fuzhou, Fujian Province. In 2016, he debuted in the youth drama Our Times, entering the entertainment industry. Xinwen Diaocha argued that the reasons for suspecting Tai Yizha is Cai Qi's illegitimate son include their uncanny facial resemblance, Tai Yizha's birth year coinciding with Cai Qi's tenure in Fujian, the fact that media outlets have consistently failed to uncover any trace of Cai Yizha's family background, something only a vice-national-level CCP official or higher could conceal. Despite his ordinary looks, Cai Yizha was given abundant resources from the start, with many top stars relegated to supporting roles for his debut projects. Netizens also pointed out, Cai Yizha was born in Fuzhou in 1996, while Cai Qi was studying for a master's degree in law and economics at Fujian Normal University in Fuzhou from 1994 to 1997. The timeline matches perfectly. Others added, to brazenly kill someone in Beijing under the emperor's very nose without fear, it must be the work of the orthodox Huangqi system, genuine Zhao clan insiders. Without that, there's no way they could wield such power. As Cai Qi's scandals piled up, a fresh storm erupted. He was also suspected of espionage. British prosecutors had initially accused two suspects of supplying the CCP with at least 34 confidential, non-public parliamentary documents, which eventually ended up in the hands of a senior CCP official. The Guardian then named that official outright, Cai Qi. When one man appears simultaneously in discussions about an international spy case and an entertainment scandal, his political risk multiplies exponentially. For Cai Qi to be singled out in this way is equivalent to signaling to political circles in the UK, and indeed the broader West, that Xi Jinping's most trusted lieutenants may themselves be at the heart of China's intelligence penetration network. And with that, we begin to see why the Yu Menglong case carries an even deeper air of mystery. Has the military been monitoring the Yu Menglong case all along? On October 2nd, a netizen on X dropped a heavy bombshell that sent shockwaves through public opinion, a crystal clear video unlike anything previously seen. In the footage, two unidentified men are seen violently dragging Yu Menglong, badly injured and looking extremely weak, out of what appeared to be a residential apartment. This video has been described as the clearest and most shocking evidence to surface so far, and it immediately triggered a storm of online uproar. At the same time, another set of images was released for the first time. In the video, Yu Menglong's arms seemed to be tied behind a chair, his face haggard and unable to resist. Two men stood on either side, gripping his arms tightly, while another poured alcohol down his throat. The horrifying scene led viewers to wonder whether this was intentional abuse and torture. Many netizens pointed out that the camera angle and quality were highly professional. Some even suspected the use of long-range equipment and specialized microphones, making it obvious this was not the work of ordinary paparazzi or passers-by. Others argued that the gradual release of these clues was no coincidence, but rather part of a calculated operation. From blurry photos and short clips at first, to HD images and full-length videos later, as if someone were deliberately testing public reaction and controlling the narrative step by step. Some voices went further, suggesting that another powerful force might be behind the leaks. Otherwise, how could such a large volume of video and photos spread so quickly after the incident? According to this view, the evidence had long been in someone's possession and was only being released gradually when the timing was right. Some even speculated that real and fake images may have been mixed deliberately, creating confusion and making it easier later to deny everything and seize back control of public opinion. Others, however, firmly believe that the evidence is genuine and that it is only now being revealed piece by piece. Whatever the truth, the storm surrounding Yumenglang shows no sign of fading. In fact, it seems to be spiraling into an even deeper and more dangerous abyss. Adding fuel to the fire, public real estate listings show a surge of panic sales and sunshine. Shangdong, from just a few dozen units at first, the number has now soared to around 300. For so many families to sell simultaneously, it is as if they are shouting in unison. Yumenglang was tortured and killed. They are rushing to leave this tainted place, fearful of being silenced by the same dark forces. Internal power struggles escalate. The Yumenglang case not only exposes the brutal realities of the entertainment industry, but also lays bare a far larger picture. The ruthless struggle for power at the very top. Kaiqi has become a direct target and even Xi Jinping is no longer secure. With just over 10 days left before the fourth plenary session, tensions are at a boiling point. Online speculation is rampant. Will Xi Jinping be forced to step down? Some argue that the recent mass movement of military convoys into Beijing indicates the involvement of the 82nd Group Army, commanded by Zhang Youxia. If Xi refuses to step down at the fourth plenum, a forcible removal through military pressure may be on the table. On September 28th, netizens photographed a large military convoy on the Jinghongkou Expressway from Baoding to Beijing. The convoy reportedly included armored vehicles, supply trucks, troop carriers, and ambulances. Estimates suggest that within the dozens of troop carriers, at least several hundred soldiers were on board. Baoding is the base of the 82nd Group Army, under Zhang Youxia's control. Known as the Imperial Guards of Beijing, this unit has always been the core force ensuring security in the capital. According to reports from multiple sources, Zhang Youxia and veteran leaders such as Wen Jiabao are pushing for Wang Yang to assume the role of CCP General Secretary and for Hu Chunhua to become Premier of the State Council, while Xi Jinping would relinquish both party and military power and retire. Yet Hu Jintao reportedly fears that openly stripping Xi of his authority would trigger turmoil within the CCP. He therefore favors allowing Xi to retain his top title in name only, while Wang Yang and Hu Chunhua exercise real control, ensuring a smoother transition. But this plan left Zhang Youxia uneasy. If Xi remained chairman of the Central Military Commission, he could still seek an opportunity to assassinate Zhang or reclaim control of the armed forces. Analysts suggest that Zhang's decision to deploy the 82nd Group Army into Beijing may reflect unresolved disagreements with Hu Jintao. To eliminate any future risk, Zhang may be prepared to use the most direct method of a soldier, military force, to settle the issue once and for all. What this reveals is chilling. Senior officials at the top of the CCP are willing to use any means, direct or indirect, to eliminate political rivals. The entertainment world's intrigue is merely a miniature reflection of the larger system. The tragedy of Yu Menglong is, in truth, part of the broader tragedy of the regime itself. Only by escaping this vicious cycle of deception and struggle can innocent lives like Yu Menglong's ever hope to find peace. What do you think? Leave your comments below.
