Wanying Zhang, a 34-year-old female real estate agent in California, was allegedly ordered by the Chinese government to spy on President Lai Qingde's son Lai Tingyu in Seattle. She was detained after being arrested. The media found out that her associates and friends are related to the fraud organization Prince Group. It is unclear whether their luxurious life comes from the proceeds of fraud.

According to "CBS" reports, Zhang Wanying once posted a photo on Xiaohongshu PO, in which she can be seen with a smile on her face sitting in the driver's seat of the top-notch supercar Bukati Chiron, shouting "Feel a friend's luxury car." The price of this supercar on the road in Taiwan exceeds NT$100 million. Zhang Wanying also alleged that the owner of the car is Wenzhi "Wesley" Fei, a cryptocurrency trader.

However, when Fei Wenzhi received an inquiry from "CBS", he emphasized that the car was actually borrowed from his friend Chen Sokly. When prosecutors in New York in the United States prosecuted Prince Group Chairman Chen Zhi last year, the "accomplice 2" listed was Chen Xing.

The indictment pointed out that the Prince Group is one of the largest transnational criminal organizations in Asia. It uses violence to force piglets to defraud others in its parks across Cambodia. U.S. federal authorities seized Bitcoin with a market value of US$15 billion (approximately NT$486.8 billion) in their arrest of the Prince Group.

The indictment stated that "Accomplice 2 (Chen Xing)" used violence and bribery to maintain the Prince Group's position in the fraud circle, including purchasing a US$3 million (approximately NT$97.36 million) yacht to bribe foreign officials.

In addition, the man who went to Seattle with Zhang Wanying to monitor President Lai's son was called "Individual No. 1" in the FBI report. It has been confirmed that he is California businessman Fatai Miao, who had purchased a one-way ticket back to China before the FBI launched the arrest.

Miao Fatai is the registered agent of Yuanjin Development & Construction LLC, a California real estate company. His company address is in a US$4.5 million (approximately NT$146 million) residence in Irvine, California. This residence is also used as a stronghold by a Chinese money laundering organization, and the organization is suspected of colluding with drug trafficking groups to launder millions of dollars for drug lords.

It is worth noting that in addition to monitoring President Lai’s son, U.S. federal prosecutors pointed out that Zhang Wanying was also involved in an unregistered currency exchange business and deposited US$190,000 (approximately NT$6.16 million) into her Chinese bank account. However, the prosecutor did not explain whether she was related to the money laundering organization and drug trafficking group based in Miao Fatai Company.

Cheng Zhang, a partner of Miao Fatai Company, is also Chen Xing's business partner. Since "Zhang" is a common surname in China, it is still unclear whether Zhang Wanying and Zhang Cheng are related or just happen to have the same surname.

When Miao Fatai's son was contacted by "CBS", he alleged that his father was unwilling to respond to these matters. He believed that his father should not know that there was a criminal organization at the company's address. Miao Fatai's son revealed that his father took a flight back to China three weeks ago and is still in China.
