Peggy Chen, the wife of People's Party Chairman Ko Wen-je, publicly questioned the procedures of the Administrative Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Justice over the seizure of NT$70 million in bail. She issued articles in recent days to express her dissatisfaction. In addition to criticizing the government as "really bandits," she even threatened to bet her life with the judge. Media person Zhan Lingyu questioned this, "The 72 bankbooks were not given to you by the Ministry of Justice. The 70 million bail was not forced by Lai Qingde to borrow." "Your family's bad luck is not that complicated. It is not tyranny, but greed." She also reminded Peggy Chen, "The person you should ask is not the executive department, but the person next door."

Chen Peiqi recently accused the Ministry of Justice's Administrative Enforcement Agency of seizing the 70 million yuan bail guaranteed by Ke Wenzhe to use it as collateral for the fines owed by "Muke". When she posted a message on the 21st, she also said, "Is one cent of this 2.1 million political donation going to my pocket? Not to mention that Sir, he didn’t know anything about it; he said he received 3 million from Flywheel? Where did he take it?”, “The middleman took it directly to decorate Taiwan Glass’s office. Why didn’t you dismantle the decoration of Taiwan Glass and sell it to the waste recycling yard to pay off the debt of your Supervisory Yuan?”

In response, the Ministry of Justice issued a statement emphasizing that the seizure order was carried out in accordance with the law and there were no procedural errors. The Supervisory Yuan transferred a total of 4 cases for execution due to Ke Wenzhe's violation of the Political Donation Law, with a total amount of 97,833,888 yuan. The criminal deposit is the liability property of the obligor and can be the subject of enforcement according to law. The statement also mentioned that if Chen Peiqi claims that the deposit is her personal property, she can file a civil lawsuit with the competent court to protect her rights and interests in accordance with Article 15 of the Enforcement Law before the execution procedure is concluded.

Chen Peiqi also posted on the 22nd that the remittance slip she issued earlier showed that she remitted 70 million yuan in bail, but they said it was the money paid by Ke Wenzhe, so they wanted to detain it. "I wonder if these people have eye disease or something?" She also choked, "If I said something wrong, the judge is welcome to sue me. Let's find another battlefield. I have nothing to lose in my life. I will bet against you people with my life..."

Zhan Lingyu posted on Facebook that Peggy Chen is online again. The script this time is still the same: leaving the bank crying, running around the branches, the world is miserable enough.

Zhan Lingyu said bluntly, "I believe in misery. But she will never find the source of misery." Zhan Lingyu emphasized that the 72 passbooks were not given to you by the Ministry of Justice. Lai Qingde didn’t force you to borrow the 70 million bail. When a doctor’s savings of 35 years are deducted, the person you should ask is not the executive department, but the person next door.

Zhan Lingyu said, "It's very hard to write IOUs and sign and stamp everywhere. I understand." "But there is a kind of person who, when there is a fire at home, will not look at who lit the fire. He will first run to the road and scold the fire brigade for spraying too much water. He also said that he took Taiwan Glass decoration to the resource recycling site to pay off debts." Zhan Lingyu also said bitterly, "Okay, this suggestion is very creative. I suggest that you adopt it next time the court is held."

Zhan Lingyu also emphasized at the end of the article, "Your family's downfall is not that complicated. It's not tyranny, it's greed. My fingers are getting sore when I keep pointing outwards. Why don't you try pointing to the side once?"

DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang sweeps the streets to ask for votes. Akio Yaita says "ocean currents" are fermenting and middle voters are the key.

Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, recently swept the streets to solicit votes and launched a campaign, setting off an "ocean current" of rising support. Senior media person Akio Yaita pointed out that although the support gap between Shen Boyang and the current mayor Jiang Wanan has narrowed to 1.2 percentage points, the real challenge is to break through 40% support and win over the middle and independent voters. He also warned that he needs to be wary of information wars and negative smear campaigns.
