Yu Menglong’s Escape from “Order 714”: The Night the Star Realized He Was the Target
He smiled for the last paparazzi shot before driving to the villa. Yu Menglong wanted silence—no cameras, no schedules, just ocean air and family time. Instead he walked into a nightmare scripted in shadows.
On night four he noticed the bathroom mirror seemed slightly misaligned. When he pressed it, a tiny lens stared back. Heart pounding, he searched the rest of the house: bugs in lamps, motion sensors disguised as smoke detectors, white powder traces on his toothbrush and water glass. Then came the leak—files labeled “Order 714” circulated anonymously online, detailing his exact daily routine, sleep cycles, even preferred drinks, together with cryptic notes about “compound delivery” and “endpoint T+7.”
The name Xin Qi appeared repeatedly—initials approving expenditures, signatures on encrypted messages. Xin Qi, the man whose agencies control half the biggest names in Vietnamese entertainment, the man rumored to “handle problems” when talent stepped out of line.
Yu Menglong didn’t wait for confirmation. With help from a trusted security contact he slipped out at 3 a.m., taking only his phone and an external drive containing photos of the devices and screen captures of the files. “I kept thinking about my daughter,” he later said. “If I stayed one more night I might not have walked out.”
Since then he has lived under protection, rarely seen in public. The leaked documents have ignited a firestorm: millions demand answers, former colleagues whisper similar experiences, and the phrase “Order 714” has become shorthand for fear inside the industry.
Xin Qi’s camp calls it a “malicious fabrication” and promises lawsuits. Yet the metadata holds: creation dates align with periods when Yu Menglong was publicly critical of working conditions and management pressure. Cybersecurity analysts say the files show signs of internal origin—someone with high-level access wanted the truth to surface.
Yu Menglong’s voice is steady now, but the trauma remains. “I used to think fame gave you power,” he said. “I learned it can also make you a target.” He is preparing a livestream to release the raw evidence, knowing it may make him more vulnerable than ever.
This is no longer just one actor’s story. It is a warning: in an industry where image is currency, what happens when controlling the image means controlling—or eliminating—the person? The world is watching Yu Menglong. And for the first time in years, he finally feels seen.
