Recently, a big V on the Sohu platform certified as a “high-quality creator in the military field,” under the name “Mo Qing Yan,” disclosed more details about Tang Lina’s case.
The article revealed that Tang Lina, who remained unmarried and childless throughout her life, climbed the career ladder by engaging in corrupt practices and trading favors. The huge amounts of illicit money she embezzled were squandered on extravagant indulgences and a scandalous private life.
The article depicted Tang Lina as someone who, since 1995, was solely focused on advancing her career. She actively sought to please and curry favor with leaders at all levels of the public security system, frequently wining and dining with them, engaging in outings, and maintaining close private contacts. She willingly exploited her own physical appearance, engaging in long-term illicit relationships with multiple senior leaders, leveraging these relationships to expand her network. This allowed her to swiftly rise through the ranks, moving from an ordinary police officer to positions such as deputy head of a command department and head of the political department. Finally, she secured a high position as the deputy party secretary of the Shanghai Public Security Rail Transit Detachment. Taking advantage of her position, she brazenly accepted bribes on a large scale during personnel transfers, project contracting, and daily administrative approvals, amassing wealth recklessly.
The article described how Tang Lina deliberately remained unmarried for a long time to indulge in her private life, which facilitated her corrupt activities. She firmly believed that by maintaining long-term relationships with younger men, she could defy aging and retain a youthful appearance. To this end, she frequently invited several young subordinates to her home for gatherings, engaging in unrestrained and decadent behaviors in private. The subordinates, eager to take shortcuts and advance in their careers with her support, sought to please her, leading to a mutual collusion that further fueled the illicit exchange of power and favors. After discerning her preferences and characteristics, numerous private clubs and unscrupulous businessmen actively sought to cater to her, lavishing her with flattery, taking her to upscale entertainment venues, and ensnaring her in a cycle of extravagant indulgence.
The article disclosed that she privately considered several young men as godsons, providing long-term support while outwardly maintaining a godmotherly relationship. To please these young lovers, she generously showered them with luxury cars, brand-name watches, designer luxury goods, and regularly made substantial transfers or offered valuable gifts, spending money lavishly.
Furthermore, she frequented various high-end exclusive private clubs in Shanghai, indulging in late-night visits to upscale entertainment establishments, where she specifically demanded the company of male models and hosts for entertainment, reveling in a life of pleasure and luxury. Many astute businessmen discerned her preferences and actively footed the bill, meticulously arranging various entertainment activities to flatter and indulge her, all to secure her protection and to successfully secure various construction projects.
The article also pointed out that in order to preserve her looks and maintain a glamorous exterior, Tang Lina regularly visited high-end medical beauty clinics for meticulous skincare treatments, with annual costs for beauty and skincare reaching a five-digit figure.
The publication of the aforementioned article stirred up public opinion, with some netizens questioning whether the leaders who were engaged in inappropriate relationships with Tang Lina faced any consequences.
