In July 2024, a Sichuan woman reported her former parents-in-law’s assets of nearly 100 million yuan for suspected corruption, which attracted attention. The local authorities have not yet announced the results after the investigation.
Recently, the woman accepted an interview with the Huashang Daily Dafeng News reporter to tell the story before and after the incident, hoping to get the verification answer as soon as possible.
The woman’s surname is Zeng, she is in her early 30s and is from Shuangliu District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province.
She said that when she graduated from university, she obtained a degree in marketing and English and was an excellent student in the department. In January 2015, she met Yin, a man who worked in a bank in Chengdu, through a blind date. “He is four years older than me, from Nanchong, Sichuan, and his family lived in Wenjiang District, Chengdu at the time.”
She said that Yin’s workplace was about half an hour’s drive from her home. After they met, they sometimes went out to eat together, but they did not have much in-depth communication in their relationship. During this period, his family also urged them to get married. On July 31, 2020, they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau of Shuangliu District, Chengdu to obtain a marriage certificate. Both parties also underwent a premarital examination. In August of the same year, they took wedding photos and held a banquet in October of the same year. “Then I moved into their house. The wedding room was a large flat of more than 170 square meters.”
She said that her finances had always been independent before and after marriage. Before marriage, she bought two houses. When she was 30 years old, she bought A Mercedes-Benz car, “Of course my parents also funded a little, so I don’t have the pressure of loans.”
She posted evidence of her earnings from stock trading in her spare time, showing that in March 2020, she earned a total of more than 25,800 yuan with a principal of more than 20,000 yuan, and in September 2024, she earned a total of more than 48,800 yuan with a principal of more than 200,000 yuan. “I was often sick for a period of time around 2018, and I also used my spare time to trade stocks to make money to support myself.”
Talking about reporting-
After reporting the former in-laws by real name, the other party called the police. The police said that if they were suspected of defamation, they could go to court to sue
At 10:39 p.m. on July 18, 2024, Ms. Zeng suddenly posted a 63-second reporting video online. At that time, she was wearing a short top, a mask and an ID card. She reported the former father-in-law Yin Mouguang and mother-in-law Qi Mouhua by real name. The assets far exceeded the normal income of people in the system, which attracted widespread attention.
“Soon after I sent out the report video, I received a call from the local police station in Wenjiang District. It turned out that my ex-in-laws had reported the case to the police station.” Ms. Zeng said that the police told her on the phone, “If they think this matter involves defamation, they can sue in court.”
Talking about abnormalities-
3 houses and 8 shops, participating in real estate development with shares in listed companies, with assets of nearly 100 million yuan
At the beginning, Ms. Zeng said in the report that her ex-in-laws who worked in the system had 3 houses with a total area of more than 400 square meters, and 8 shops with a total area of more than 6,000 square meters. Her ex-husband had millions of yuan in cash and financial management. , their family is full of precious mahogany furniture, with a large number of calligraphy and painting collections, “and they also hold and use other people’s bank cards for financial management, suspected of money laundering, and their family assets are estimated to be between 80 million and 100 million yuan.”
Ms. Zeng told the reporter of Huashang Daily Dafeng News that the three houses she knew were all under the name of her former parents-in-law, “Among them, I originally thought that the large flat wedding house belonged to my ex-husband, but later I accidentally learned that it was also owned by the old couple.”
Ms. Zeng told reporters that in addition to the ones she reported in real name, her former mother-in-law Qi Mouhua also invested in the Chongqing listed company “Dongyuan Company” and was the legal representative of the listed company. The reporter found through the search of Qichacha that as early as October 19, 2006, Qi Mouhua was changed to Chen Mou, and later the company was acquired by a well-known real estate group company in Chongqing.
Public information shows that from November 2003 to June 2006, the general manager of “Dongyuan Company” was surnamed Qu, and he served as the chairman of the sixth board of directors of the company from December 2005 to February 2007. From September 1984 to December 2001, he served as the vice president of the Nanchong Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Qi Mouhua, the former director of the bank’s financial department, retired in 2004. “They used to live in the same community.”
The reporter noticed that “Dongyuan Company” later became a historical shareholder of Nanchong Wendi Engineering Project Management Co., Ltd., Chengdu Dragonfly Logo Co., Ltd. and Nanchong Changxin Material Trading Co., Ltd. The registered capital of these three companies exceeded 12 million yuan, and the supervisor of Nanchong Changxin Material Trading Co., Ltd. was Qi Mouhua.
So, was Qi Mouhua, the legal representative of “Dongyuan Company”, the former mother-in-law Qi Mouhua as Ms. Zeng said, and did she invest in the listed company? The reporter contacted Qi Mouhua herself, but she did not respond and hung up the phone after revealing her identity.
Ms. Zeng also said that her former mother-in-law violated the relevant promises when she retired and turned around to participate in real estate development in Nanchong, Sichuan and other places.
She also introduced that not only that, her former in-laws had rented out the property in Guangyuan, Sichuan, in the form of proxy shareholding, and collected about 1 million yuan in rent each year. “Once my ex-husband told me on WeChat that their family also invested in a coal mine in Sichuan.”
She said that after her former mother-in-law retired, she and her husband opened a company in Chengdu.
Qichacha shows that on December 10, 2019, Chengdu Hengxin Asset Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Hengxin Company”) changed its name to Sichuan Chenzhen Business Consulting Co., Ltd. The names of the two shareholders of the company are the same as those of Ms. Zeng’s former in-laws. The two hold 75% and 25% of the shares respectively. The company’s address is located in Section 2, West Second Ring Road, Qingyang District, Chengdu, Sichuan.
On February 25, 2025, Sichuan Chenzhen Business Consulting Co., Ltd. changed its name to Sichuan Ruihecheng Technology Service Co., Ltd., and its registered capital increased to 7.57 million yuan. Previously, a catering management company in Guangyuan was added as an investor.
Ms. Zeng said that “Hengxin Company” was opened by her former parents-in-law who asked someone to hold shares on their behalf. They had rented out the property to others to open a furniture store in Lizhou District, Guangyuan City, Sichuan.
To confirm Ms. Zeng’s statement, the reporter found that the phone number left when applying for the business license was Qi Mouhua’s.
Talking about divorce-
“During the divorce mediation, the in-laws were willing to pay 600,000 yuan, but the court only sentenced 50,000 yuan, and I felt insulted.”
When talking about the reason for the report, Ms. Zeng said that everything was caused by the divorce judgment.
She said that she and Yin had no children for three years after marriage. Later, she took the initiative to file for divorce. On January 18, 2024, the Wenjiang District Court of Chengdu accepted the divorce case she filed. “I asked for a judgment of divorce between the two parties and the division of the common property of the couple after marriage.”
The Wenjiang District Court found that Ms. Zeng’s ex-husband had millions of yuan in trust products and two houses worth more than 2 million yuan, plus other totals of nearly 10 million yuan. She asked to divide this property.
“I didn’t expect the court to think that because Qi Mouhua had the corresponding financial knowledge and managed the family’s financial management and the financial management of some relatives, he was not qualified to buy high-risk and high-yield financial products due to his age. Therefore, he bought high-risk and high-yield financial products in the name of my ex-husband and used the bank account under his name for investment and financial management operations. This is in line with life experience and matches the transfer of funds by relatives, which is very likely.” Ms. Zeng said, “The court also believed that the actual user of the bank card under my ex-husband’s name was his mother, and the funds in his account were the property of his parents and the funds entrusted by relatives for investment and financial management. They were not considered to be our common property, and it was not for me. The lawsuit request for the division of these funds was not supported. ”
She recalled that the judge had mediated her divorce case before the trial, and her husband’s family initially agreed to pay her 500,000 yuan. After the trial, they mediated again and only agreed to pay 200,000 yuan, and finally agreed to pay 600,000 yuan. “I didn’t expect the judge to only order me to pay more than 50,000 yuan.”
She said that she felt insulted, “The common property of the couple after marriage is obviously nearly 10 million yuan, and this is too bullying. I just want to take what I deserve, but I didn’t expect the court to only order me 50,000 yuan.” Ms. Zeng said that she paid more than 30,000 yuan in litigation fees.
Ms. Zeng also mentioned that she was even more angry because her ex-husband believed that the two houses she had before marriage were common property of the couple and should be divided. The court believed that he had not provided evidence to prove the status of the houses under her name and did not support this. “This is also another important reason why I reported them.”
In addition, she also believed that she was slandered by her ex-in-laws in the divorce. “They said I was a high-spending and called me a gold digger.” “My report was completely forced. They went too far.” “If the amount of the judgment given to me was a little higher or lower than 600,000, I might not choose to report it online with my real name.”
On the morning of July 18, 2024, Ms. Zeng received the judgment of the Wenjiang District Court, and the court ruled that she and her husband divorced.
That night, she reported it online with her real name.
Talking about speaking out——
Posted 204 videos online in the past year, believing in the power of law
Huashang Daily Dafeng News reporter noticed that since the day of the real-name report, Ms. Zeng has posted 204 videos online, mainly involving questions about the results of the report, the process of marriage and love, and explanations and questions about divorce lawsuits.
Ms. Zeng said that the reason she chose to speak out online was because she firmly believed in the power of the law and that society would become more perfect in the continuous development.
She said, “I did this to redeem myself, hoping to free myself from the pain of the past.”
In response to netizens’ questions about why she didn’t file for divorce as soon as possible, she explained, “If I had the ability to divorce immediately, do you think I would still get married? Do you think I don’t want to divorce? I can’t. I encountered many obstacles in this divorce. I always feel that the whole divorce process is like a miniature “The Legend of Zhen Huan.” “
Talking about verification-
Disapproving the verification results and not signing, hoping to publish detailed verification results
On July 19, 2024, in response to Ms. Zeng’s real-name report, the Nanchong Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued a “Situation Report” stating that Yin Mouguang, who was reported by Ms. Zeng in real name, was the former head of the Price Control Section of the Commission and had retired as early as 2018. His wife Qi Mouhua was the former director of the Finance Department of the Nanchong Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and retired in 2004.
The notice said that the couple’s family property reported by Ms. Zeng was inconsistent with their actual income. They attached great importance to it and have jointly set up an investigation team with the Nanchong Branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to conduct an investigation. The next step will be to deal with it according to the rules, disciplines and laws based on the investigation results.
Ms. Zeng told the reporter of Huashang Daily Dafeng News that on the morning of July 30 of the same year, the investigation team notified her to go to a hotel to announce the results of the investigation to her, but when she asked that Qi Mouhua wrote a guarantee not to do business when he retired, but turned to participate in the development of a real estate company, she had no comment on the grounds that it involved the other party’s privacy. “Later, I did not accept or recognize the results of the investigation and refused to sign.”
On February 28, 2025, Ms. Zeng posted a video online to ask questions. It has been more than half a year since her original real-name report. She is very much looking forward to the Nanchong investigation team announcing the detailed results of the investigation.
Later, she posted videos many times saying that she hopes to announce the results of the investigation to the public as soon as possible. However, the results have not been announced yet.
Related parties-
The person reported and the relevant units did not respond positively
Is what Ms. Zeng said true? The reporter contacted Qi Mouhua for confirmation, but he refused to be interviewed.
What is the situation of the investigation in the past year? Will the results of the investigation be announced to the public? A reporter from Huashang Daily Dafeng News contacted the Discipline Inspection Department of the Development and Reform Commission of Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, and a staff member said that the signal was not good and hung up the phone.
Ms. Zeng said that Qi Mouhua was only in her 40s when she retired, so how did she retire? Was it internal retirement, retirement due to illness, or other reasons? These abnormal situations need to be verified.
In response to Ms. Zeng’s statement, relevant personnel from the Nanchong Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China did not give a direct answer, saying that the original report was led by the Nanchong Development and Reform Commission and they only assisted in handling it. The specific investigation situation is unclear.
