Liu Chuanyuan, the sister-in-law of Zeng Yingfu, the leader of the Tiandao Allied Forces and "Iron Tyrant", was taken away from the underground parking lot of his residence after getting involved in a 7 million yuan money dispute. He was blindfolded, handcuffed behind his back and detained in a car wash for nearly 10 hours. He was beaten and suffered a fracture of his left tibia. The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office found that Zhuang Weiyang, nicknamed "Fat Brother", arranged a place of detention and remotely directed the violence. The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office prosecuted Zhuang and four other people for crimes such as depriving others of freedom of movement and injuring others together with more than three people.

Liu Chuanyuan graduated from the Law Department of National Chengchi University. He had been in contact with Zeng Yingfu for many years and assisted in handling affairs. He was known as the "strategist" of the Tiandao Alliance. He later married Zeng's sister and got married. He was imprisoned for a criminal case in the past and turned to business after being released from prison. The prosecution pointed out that 39-year-old Zhuang Weiyang was dissatisfied due to a dispute with Liu. From the early morning of January 22 to noon on January 23 last year, he, 38-year-old Zheng Jieyu, 26-year-old Yang Zhichen, 23-year-old Hu Zhiye and Luo Nan gathered at Wanhua's "Zhenwei Enterprise Co., Ltd." to plan.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, Zheng drove Yang and three others to Wenshan District to ambush him. Yang first opened the iron gate of the underground parking lot of Liu's residence and allowed Zheng to drive in. At around 4:37 p.m., when everyone saw Liu parking his car and getting out of the car, they forced him into the car, blindfolded him with a hood, handcuffed his hands behind his back, and took him to the "TL Car Body Beauty" car wash on Shuangyuan Street, Wanhua, where he was detained.

During the interrogation, Zhuang admitted that he instructed Yang to teach Liu a lesson over a money dispute. He also arranged the car wash and contacted Yang to beat him. Yang beat Liu's body, head and left knee with a stick, causing a fracture of his left tibia. It was not until around 2:42 a.m. on the 24th that Yang and others received the evacuation order, and Liu contacted his wife, who was assisted by relatives and friends to take her away, seek medical treatment and call the police.

After the case, there were other circumstances of abandoning the car, changing cars and leaving the country. According to the book, Zheng abandoned the vehicle involved in the crime at the Kansai service area, then transferred to a rental car to return to Taipei to pick up Yang and others. The rental car was later abandoned on the Xindian Industrial Road; Zhuang, Yang and three others took a flight to Hong Kong on the 24th.

The police originally alleged that Zhuang Weiyang, nicknamed "Fei Fei" and "Fei Ge", was a cadre of the "Wanhua Tongli Family". According to the confession of the car wash operator surnamed Wu, Zhuang once invested 200,000 yuan to jointly operate the car wash where Liu Chuanyuan was detained. However, the prosecutor believed that there was a lack of objective evidence to prove the organizational relationship and did not prosecute him for participating in a criminal organization.

Police officer Liu Xun said that a man named Liu, nicknamed "Nineteen", had a 7 million yuan dispute with someone over an online cash version, and he had intervened to handle it. The prosecutor believes that since there is a money dispute, it is difficult to determine that everyone had the intention to kidnap and ransom from the beginning; there is also a lack of objective evidence to prove the defendant's substantial connection with the "Tongli Family", and the related crimes will not be prosecuted.

The prosecutor in charge, Gao Zhaoyou, concluded the investigation and charged Zheng, Yang, Hu, and Zhuang with the crime of jointly depriving others of freedom of movement by three or more people. Yang and Zhuang were also charged with the crime of injury, and Luo Nan was wanted. Xie Yihong and other six people were not prosecuted due to lack of evidence of involvement in the crime; although some people had been picked up and provided with accommodation, the persons picked up were not those who were arrested and detained in accordance with the law and escaped, and they did not meet the requirements for hiding persons.

Private live broadcasts have been repeatedly exposed, investigated and dealt with, but they still make a comeback. How to cut off the chain of private “magic medicines”?

Unscrupulous merchants exaggerated the efficacy of health products through private domain live broadcasts such as WeChat groups and corporate WeChat to deceive elderly consumers. Some merchants changed their names and continued to operate after being punished. The reporter's investigation found that businesses manipulated the psychological needs of the elderly and established authoritative personas, with mixed truth and falsehoods, and the industrial chain was not cut off, making it difficult to obtain evidence, leading to the resurgence of "miracle drugs". Experts recommend full-chain, cross-regional governance and using “good money” to drive out “bad money”.
