Sichuan Chengdu, a 30-year-old woman named Zeng, publicly reported her former parents-in-law (Yin Moguang, Qi Mohua) last year for allegedly possessing nearly a billion yuan in assets, far exceeding their normal income within the system, and suspected of corruption and money laundering. This incident quickly drew widespread attention, and local relevant departments promptly launched an investigation, but have not yet disclosed the verification results.
Recently, Ms. Zeng detailed the events before and after the incident in an interview with Hua Shang Bao and Dafeng News, hoping to obtain verification answers soon.
She pointed out that the core trigger of the controversy was her divorce dispute. After ending her five-year marriage with her ex-husband Yin (the son of her former in-laws), Ms. Zeng felt severely insulted and unfairly treated due to her dissatisfaction with the court’s judgment on the division of shared property (awarded only 50,000 yuan, far below the nearly tens of millions of shared property she believed in and the 600,000 yuan settlement agreed upon by her former in-laws), and therefore decided to report it publicly.
On July 18, 2024, at 10:39 PM, Ms. Zeng suddenly posted a 63-second video online, publicly reporting that her former father-in-law Yin Moguang and mother-in-law Qi Mohua’s assets far exceeded the normal income of personnel within the system. Her former father-in-law was the former director of the Price Bureau of Nanchong City, and her former mother-in-law was the former director of the Finance Department of the Industrial and Commercial Bank Nanchong Branch – a family of two retired personnel within the system, owning 8 commercial properties (with a total area of over 6,000 square meters), 3 luxury homes (with a total area of over 400 square meters), multi-million financial management, valuable paintings, and redwood furniture filling the house.
Even more explosive was her accusation that her former mother-in-law used her banking position to launder money and her former father-in-law concealed properties in Guangyuan through proxy holding, earning annual rental income of millions.
Qi Mohua, her former mother-in-law, was alleged to have invested in the Chongqing listed company “Dongyuan Company” and participated in real estate development in Nanchong and other places in Sichuan. The former in-laws had rented properties in Guangyuan, Sichuan through proxy holding, with an annual rental income of about a million yuan, and even invested in a coal mine in Sichuan.
Data from Enterprise Check revealed that on December 10, 2019, Chengdu Hengxin Asset Management Co., Ltd. changed its name to Sichuan Chenzhen Business Consulting Co., Ltd., with the names of the two shareholders matching those of Zeng’s former in-laws, holding 75% and 25% of the shares respectively.
Ms. Zeng estimated that the total value of her former in-laws’ assets was between 80 million and 100 million yuan, which starkly contrasted with their identities as retired directors – one from the Development and Reform Commission in 2018 and the other from the Finance Department of the branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank in 2004.
After naming names in her report, Ms. Zeng’s former in-laws once reported her to the police for alleged defamation, but the police informed them that they could pursue legal avenues for prosecution.
Since the day of her public report, Ms. Zeng has posted 204 videos online, mainly concerning inquiries about the results of the report, details of her marital relationships, explanations, and accusations in her divorce lawsuit, among other matters.
On July 19, 2024, in response to Ms. Zeng’s public report, the Nanchong Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued a “Situation Brief”, confirming the retirement status of Yin Moguang and Qi Mohua, and stated that they had set up an investigation team in collaboration with the Industrial and Commercial Bank Nanchong Branch to verify the allegations.
However, on July 30 of the same year, when the investigation team announced the results of the verification to Ms. Zeng, they refused to disclose key issues regarding Qi Mohua’s post-retirement commercial activities citing privacy concerns. Ms. Zeng stated that she did not accept or approve of this result and declined to sign.
On February 28 this year, Ms. Zeng posted a video online to inquire about the verification results, as it had been over half a year since her initial public report, eagerly awaiting detailed verification results from Nanchong.
She has since posted several videos expressing her hope for the prompt release of the verification results to the public. However, these results have yet to be disclosed.
Are Ms. Zeng’s claims true? When asked to confirm by Qi Mohua, she declined to be interviewed.
An employee of the Discipline Inspection Department of the Nanchong Municipal Development and Reform Commission in Sichuan said that the phone signal was not good and hung up the call.
Ms. Zeng stated that Qi Mohua retired at the age of only over 40, so how did she retire? Was it early retirement, medical retirement, or something else? These unusual circumstances all need to be verified.
Regarding Ms. Zeng’s statements, relevant officials from the Industrial and Commercial Bank Nanchong Branch did not provide a direct response, stating that the initial report was primarily being investigated by the Nanchong Municipal Development and Reform Commission, and they were only assisting in the process and were not clear on the specific investigative details.
Both Qi Mohua, the accused person, and the Discipline Inspection Department of the Nanchong Municipal Development and Reform Commission did not provide a positive response to further media inquiries.
