Lan Wanqian, daughter-in-law of former legislator Su Zhenqing and non-party candidate for the mayor of Ligang Township in Pingtung County, posted a bail of RMB 200,000 in connection with an election bribery case. The Pingtung District Prosecutor's Office protested and revoked the original ruling yesterday (9th) and sent it back to the Pingtung District Court. The judge scheduled a hearing at 10 a.m. on the 11th.

On May 30 this year, Lan Wanqian held a dinner party in the name of the Lan clan association to entertain her fellow villagers. On the 3rd, Pingtung prosecutors issued a warrant for Lan Wanqian and her father Lan Xinyi. The Pingtung District Court ruled that each of them should be released on bail of NT$200,000 pending questioning. The prosecutor filed a protest. Regarding the detention protest case of Lan Wanqian and others, the Kaohsiung High Court of the second instance ruled yesterday that the original ruling was revoked and sent back to the Pingtung District Court. The judge scheduled a hearing at 10 a.m. tomorrow.

In addition, after Lan Wanqian posted bail, she posted on Facebook on the 5th, claiming that she had been framed and smeared, and that her family members had been ruthlessly investigated. This attracted the attention of the screener, who believed that this move may be highly suspected of using self-media to openly collude with witnesses and influence people who are not involved in the case. It may involve the use of self-media to collude, and will be transferred to the second instance court for review.
