In mid-to-late 2019, 632 Xuchang Road in Yangpu District opened its doors to welcome renovation workers to the heavily forbidden “Heavenly Palace” on the Shanghai Bund, which quietly took on its original form.
Its former owner, Zhao Fuqiang, was sentenced by the Shanghai High Court on Dec. 30, 2020, to a final verdict and a suspended death sentence with restrictions on sentence reduction for blackmail, bribery, and forced prostitution.
On the eve of his arrest, Zhao Fuqiang’s last video was dialed to Cui Xi, his current wife who reported him and also a former subject of house arrest. The picture shows the office empty, and he says, “Everything is gone, you’ve hurt me.”

The “hen” whose eggs were removed
In 2017, after her father’s business failed, Chen Qian, a student studying in the United States, decided to return to China. The company’s bankruptcy didn’t mean the end of the trouble, and the lawsuit against her father forced her to urgently find a job to make ends meet and pay the high legal fees.
Meanwhile, Zhao Fuqiang, who had invested in Shanghai Wanji Culture Media Co., Ltd, took over the right to operate the “Safe Shanghai” program on the Shanghai Rule of Law Channel, and instructed his assistant Yang Kai to post job information for program operation. This job solved Chen Qian’s urgent needs, after Zhao Fuqiang’s individual interview she successfully joined the “Shanghai Huiyi eat and drink Food city”.
The workplace is in the company’s property, a six-storey light red building in Puxi called “Chuang Fu Building”. The building has frequent daily movement of people and visits from political and business officials and cadres every now and then, so it is heavily guarded, with ex-soldiers as security guards at the entrance and cameras in every corner of the interior, and different rooms on different floors need corresponding access cards to open. Therefore, except for work, Chen Qian’s movement in the building is restricted by default, but she did not care much.

Chen Qian received the leadership, and her colleagues working together, will seriously praise Zhao Fuqiang “people stupid money”, “is a great good man. In the first month of employment, Chen Qian also accompanied Zhao Fuqiang back to Taixing, Jiangsu Province, to visit a three-lane road he donated to his hometown, “Fuqiang Road”. She believed in Zhao Fuqiang’s beautiful illusion, “in such an environment, you will not feel anything abnormal”, he laid the net, and it was Time to reap the harvest.
This is when she understood how Zhao Fuqiang made his fortune, and what the dignitaries in the small red building came to do – with sex videos and large IOUs as a threat, Zhao Fuqiang asked Chen Qian to fulfill his obligations as a “girlfriend” and become a stepping stone to his business, that is, the The company’s business is to provide sexual services to the officials he befriended, state-owned enterprise cadres and so on, sending large red packets to eat, drink and sleep with them.
Chen Qian wanted to refuse, but there is nowhere to escape, usually did not pay attention to the monitoring and access control become invisible shackles. Until the end of 2017, Zhao Fuqiang with over-the-shoulder wrestling and other ways to Chen Qian beat an hour and then raped, and then let Chen Qian to receive some compensation, to the bank to withdraw money Chen Qian only found the opportunity to ask the bank teller to call the police.
Unfortunately, her first escape plan failed. According to Caixin, Chen Qian was waiting at the Pingliang Road police station in Yangpu District with bruises, and the police did not carry out the basic reporting procedures such as injury examination and statement, but also persuaded her that “this is not serious, and follow Zhao Fuqiang is not good?” Six hours later, Zhao Fuqiang took Chen Qian’s mother to the police station, and finally withdrew the case in the name of a Family dispute.

Chen Qian, the “betrayer”, did not end well, as she was placed under house arrest in the dormitory and her cell phone was confiscated. At the same time, Zhao Fuqiang decided to tether her to the child. Afterwards, Chen Qian described to reporters, “During my detention, I was forcibly injected with egg shots for ten days, and then sent to a private clinic for egg retrieval with a blindfold on, without painkillers.” The egg retrieval caused severe ascites in Chen Qian, which took a month of hospitalization to heal, while she lost her fertility.
Chen Qian later learned that this was not the first time Zhao Fuqiang had “killed a chicken to get its eggs,” and that at least three women had been surrogates, both of whom, including her, could no longer have children of their own. She told Caixin that she had been screened as a candidate for the new lamb in the “public relations department” from the time she submitted her resume, and that the recruitment was just a front to find a convenient and controlled free lady.

Who the hell is Zhao Fuqiang?
Why in the 21st century under the SkyNet can also be so free to commit criminal acts such as imprisonment and kidnapping? In his own words, “there is nothing (I) can’t handle in Yangpu District (Shanghai)”.
In 1973, the only brother of the three brothers in the Zhao family in rural Taixing, Jiangsu province, who was married, had a baby boy, and as the only child of two generations, the baby was given the expectation of reviving the family business and was named “Fuqiang. Zhao Fuqiang’s birth did not bring a turnaround to the family, resources were still depleted, but all the good things were first tightly fed and clothed by Zhao Fuqiang, his sister had to give way to him and take care of him, including her Marriage was also considered in exchange for giving Zhao Fuqiang a wife.
In the mid-1980s, Zhao Fuqiang, who had not yet graduated from junior high school, left school in order to get ahead and moved around Jiangsu and Shanghai while working as an apprentice and learning tailoring techniques. As time passed, he took Home more and more money, first to rebuild the old house, and then to install street lights, to help the villagers, to build roads, and every time he went home, the show was getting bigger and bigger, driving a few luxury cars to pose, with a few good-looking female companions.
(Zhao Fuqiang’s old home new house schematic)
The village people know that Zhao Fuqiang’s money is not clean after his fortune, but “people are capable”, but also charitable. This also achieved the purpose of Zhao Fuqiang wanted to show off, “when the family was poor, the village people look down on, now even out of their own pocket, but also to go back to show how well they are mixed in Shanghai.”
But no one knew that behind his great righteousness and dissipation of wealth was piled up by the blood and tears of countless tenants and women.

From tailor to pimp
In 2000, Zhao Fuqiang came to Yangpu District in Shanghai and took a store as his own tailor store, but the hard money from selling clothes did not satisfy the appetite of Zhao Fuqiang who was eager to make a name for himself, “poor at that time, as long as the money wanted to do”, he turned his attention to the women around him.
In the tailor store around, Zhao Fuqiang has opened two hair salon “Wang Sheng” and “double”, the surface of a proper hair salon, but in fact do flesh business, the first was dragged down by his wife at the time Zongmou. “If you love me, you should pay a little more for our future Life, when the money is not doing this.” He used similar words to brainwash her, and finally Zong became the First Lady to receive customers in the hairdressing salon.
When the hairdressing house dark prostitution business is running, Zhao Fuqiang successively in the nanny agency, Internet chat rooms and other online and offline platforms to meet a number of women, inviting them to come to the hairdressing store to take up employment, “together for the family to make money”. As long as women enter, he will be based on each other’s character, or violence or gentle words to coax them into bed to shoot sex videos, and then they will use the video to turn the tables and ask them to provide sexual services for guests, the price tag of 150 yuan a time, if not from the fight to serve so far.
Forced to life safety threats and emotional control, most of the women are from Zhao Fuqiang’s request to receive customers, did not think that this is more Zhao pinch lifeline. Six years, countless 150 yuan into Zhao Fuqiang’s pocket, but the women did not get a wage, in addition to the end of the year back home to give a little life, while Zhao Fuqiang also asked the women if they were pornography, not allowed to confess their names. When the women moved to leave, he threatened to go home to “stink you up” and spread the word about your prostitution in Shanghai.
(The dormitory for PR girls at the “Little Red House”)
In 2004, with the arrival of the wave of domestic economic takeoff, Zhao Fuqiang found business opportunities in the process of operating a clandestine prostitution business backward stores. But to buy a store does not meet his stingy, like the nature of the empty glove, and store rental this piece of demand for large loopholes, subletting process can earn a difference, so he switched from fishing to start as a “second landlord” to broaden their own way to squeeze the vulnerable. The women of the hairdresser’s store are used to the extreme, in addition to receiving customers, but also as a tool for sexual bribery officials, when not receiving customers, will be in his dashgo property company as a free employee, do finance, do management, to sign a shady contract with the lessor.
“The verdict shows that since 2004, Zhao Fuqiang has gradually become involved in store leasing, monopolizing the housing stock through fraudulent means and using violence and “soft violence” to resolve leasing disputes. Zhao Fuqiang members of the organization will be blank consent to sublease and long-term lease certificate entrapped in the relevant contract documents, deceive the landlord to sign, deliberately create the illusion of lessor default, in the name of compensation as blackmail, through nuisance, lock picking and other ways to extort. After signing the “first contract” with the landlord, Zhao Fuqiang organized to sublet the store and sign a “second contract” with the lessee and profit from it.”
Since Zhao Fuqiang played with rent fraud and loan fraud, there has never been a shortage of court summonses, and the company alone has 41 lawsuits in Sky Eye Search. But for him, any opportunity is available, and every step in the transformation of this small country tailor into the difficult “King of the Underground” on the North Shanghai Bund has been linked to the large disputes he has faced: 1.
- The road to heaven
In the early 21st century, Zhao Fuqiang was punished for operating a hair salon without a license, and he asked someone to find Feng Bo Ping to get in touch with him to lower the penalty and avoid closure. The two have since maintained close contact, repeatedly arranging to sleep with the women of the hair salon, and a lot of money transactions.
Zhao Fuqiang’s employees talk about their boss, with a phrase to describe, “he will not do business at a loss. The benefit of climbing up with Feng Bo Ping is not only to facilitate illegal business, in 2008, Zhao Fuqiang expanded the scope of housing rental, Feng Bo Ping brought him to know the then director of Pingliang Industrial and Commercial Wu Jianlei. At this time Wu is for someone petition headache, Zhao Fuqiang initiative to provide sexual bribery and soft violence threatened petitioners, since then Zhao Fuqiang through Wu to obtain a large number of low-priced state-owned enterprises housing for high-priced sublet, set rent, the financial road was greatly broadened.
After the operation of the matter of someone to guarantee the bottom, a large illegal enrichment of Zhao Fuqiang has been entangled in lawsuits. So in 2009, Zhao Fuqiang arranged a dinner meeting with Lu Yan, the former secretary of the Yangpu District Committee of Political and Legal Affairs, to get through to the court. According to the first trial verdict of Shanghai Second Intermediate Court against Yan Lu, during the collusion between the two, Yan Lu used his position to help him forge relocation approval information to obtain relocation housing at a low price, and handle housing disputes caused by the shady contract of Xiaogo Property Company, which entered bankruptcy liquidation in 2018. With the help of Yan Lu, Zhao Fuqiang’s black agency was able to survive.
- Getting Rich
Although subletting stores at high prices is a profitable business, the money is still too slow. In 2014, Zhao Fuqiang met Liang Chao, then general manager of Yangpu Trade, and Li Bin, then deputy general manager of Yangpu Trade, through a dispute over stores on Changyang Road. The three of them joined hands with Yangpu City Investment and senior cadres of City Construction to give relocation housing to Zhao for private subletting, and made him participate in violent relocation clearances several times, while the compensation money that should be given to the tenants was all swallowed by Zhao Fuqiang.
In the same year, Zhao Fuqiang, who had been raking in money through illegal leasing, bought a six-story building less than 2 kilometers away from his first hair salon, No. 632 Xuchang Road, and renamed it “Chuang Fu Building”, where he also moved his clandestine prostitution business. He set up a number of palace-style luxury suites on the sixth floor as a venue for financial and sexual bribery, officials can directly enter the bedroom of the girl through the hidden door of the suite to “choose a concubine”. Because of the brick-red exterior of the ground floor, the property was subsequently called the “Little Red House”.

- The master of wealth collection
Zhao Fuqiang was able to cheat and enrich himself with impunity, without the guidance of the master behind him. According to Caixin, in 2013, the modern “Fang Tangjing” lawyer surnamed Li was brought to Zhao Fuqiang by Wu Jianlei, and the two were often invited to dinner parties to discuss matters. The lawyer’s personal firm has represented Zhao Fang in several lawsuits and assisted in revising the lease contract, teaching questioning techniques in the event of a dispute, making the tenant’s breach of contract harsh, with damages calculated at 10 times the rent for the day, and minimizing the risk of liability for the rental property (damages no higher than the contract deposit).
In addition to helping the formation of organized black intermediary mechanism, and “leadership relationship” of the lawyer Li for Zhao Fuqiang to participate in the demolition and relocation of false budget data and other things repeatedly match the “back door”, to facilitate its speculation, embezzlement of state assets.
In 15 years, Zhao Fuqiang relied on yin and yang contracts, set of rental loans, and collusion bribery of state cadres involved in relocation projects, hands accumulated more than 1,300 sets of stores for rent, such as deep line reporter field visits to the small red building turned to the books show that at least half of a street stores are in his hands. Until 2019 by the “black out”, Zhao Fuqiang profit a total of more than 970 million yuan, from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to the SASAC everywhere is his umbrella.
The women in the small red building, is his tool to make money, but also low-cost to maintain the core strength of the company’s operations, including many fallen high-profile women. Let them and his own junior high school dropout, unattractive “country boy” combined to have children, so that Zhao Fuqiang’s perverted self-esteem has never been satisfied.
He is not likely to let anyone go unless he pays a price that satisfies him.

“We are grasshoppers on a rope”
Zhao Fuqiang’s sister talks about her brother, describing him as “smart and attentive”. When he first opened the garment factory, Zhao Fuqiang had good craftsmanship and low material loss, and the clothes he made were quite popular. Later, Zhao Fuqiang used this spirit of perfection in the pursuit of details in the financial and sexual transactions with officials and cadres, striving to maximize the other party “fed” to build a strong protective circle for themselves.
His company’s public relations department and female assistants, the actual work is to “public relations” leaders. The fourth floor of the Xiaohong Building, Dalian Road’s Xiaogo Dance School and high-end restaurants were his daily places to bribe officials, and it was also common for him to arrange for female companions to accompany him on overnight trips.
According to Caixin, Zhao Fuqiang prescribed a strict system of sitting with his PR staff, with a specially tailored service process for the officials’ personal preferences.
“Before arranging a trip, Zhao Fuqiang and the women involved would discuss the participants in a WeChat group, referring to criteria such as alcohol consumption and image, and avoiding the physiological periods of the escorts. The group would also notify in advance the types of cigarettes and alcohol to be prepared, and shopping cards for bribes ranging from 3,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan per person or cash. An “internal group work system” of the PR department shows that every move from greeting officials to meals and KTVs is fixed by Zhao Fuqiang through words. The order of toasting between meals, dining etiquette, cigarette lighting, and chatting content were all stipulated, and fines (for failure to complete) were set.”
Likewise, female publicists involved in the entertainment were given a corresponding bonus, with the more services completed receiving a greater share of.
“A pot of wine is awarded 500 yuan, 600 yuan for singing with leaders on the left and right and being able to chat and sing, and 900 yuan for singing and dancing at the same time. According to a number of women involved in sexual escort confessions, sleeping with a night reward ranging from 7,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan.”
The field investigation of the internal structure of the small red building of the isobath reporter in its 6th floor “fourteen beauty boudoir” found on the ground scattered curriculum and books, recording their daily training: massage, dance, Music, martial arts, drama …… In addition to personal skills. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.

These publicists were not just ordinary sex workers, they were also Zhao Fuqiang’s mistresses, and more than one of them had children with him. In the beginning, they were forced to commit themselves to him, mostly by force. According to the court verdict, four female publicists first worked in Zhao Fuqiang’s hair salon, and they followed him for twenty years. After entering the Chuang Fu building, this group of women were given the right to some freedom, but in the end, they all stayed to become managers of the newly promoted publicists, taking the initiative to persuade the female assistants who did not want to do the sexual reception, closing the door for Zhao Fuqiang who beat them up.
When Chen Qian found out she was cheated, one of Zhao Fuqiang’s ex-wives told her, “Each of us is willing to dedicate ourselves to pay for the company, not willing that is your business.”

Is it really purely voluntary?
In fact, from the moment they were approached by Zhao Fuqiang, they were already the chosen prey. He has a very well-developed hunting process: screening non-assertive, well-controlled, desired women – alternating hot and cold chat method (after suppression to the extreme as the savior appears) – throwing bait on the hook.
After gaining Chen Qian’s trust, Zhao Fuqiang showed two contradictory sides in front of her, criticizing her for being “useless” in his daily work, while testing Chen Qian, saying he was willing to rescue her, help her, and make her life back to the way it was before or even better. In private, Zhao Fuqiang’s personal assistant Yang Kai and other people also persuaded her to accept becoming Zhao Fuqiang’s girlfriend, “having a relationship with the boss, there are many benefits”. They offered her tempting conditions, sending houses and cars, settling Parents, including recruiting people to solve the lawsuit carried by Chen Qian’s father.
Under multiple temptations, Chen Qian finally agreed to move into the staff dormitory (later called the “Little Red Building”) of the Chongfu Building. This is when Zhao Fuqiang tore off the mask, and none of the promises made came true. In Chen Qian’s confession, she was forced to take photos and videos of her relationship with Zhao in the Little Red House, which were not only collected and viewed by Zhao Fuqiang, but also became a handle to blackmail her later. She had to submit to Zhao Fuqiang’s wishes completely, and if she refused, or if she displeased him, she was subjected to continuous violent beatings. At the same time she was threatened to sign an unequal labor contract for a period of no less than three years, and if she wanted to leave she would need to pay 300,000 in liquidated damages. In fact, Chen Qian did not receive regular wages, if you need to spend, only to Zhao Fuqiang to play IOUs to receive money, and the amount of money borrowed by him to specify.
Similar to Chen Qian, the female assistants who were forced to join the gang were initially placed under house arrest in the building, and it was difficult for them to get through the many barriers to leave the building. As for the “subjugation” process, Zhao Fuqiang usually chose violent beatings, verbal insults, and economic intimidation using the unequal labor contracts they signed until they broke down and succumbed to their clients. Some female witnesses said their private parts were tattooed with “Zhao Fuqiang’s special”.
(Structure of the sixth floor clubhouse of “Little Red House”)
Violence was the norm for the women in the PR department, who were beaten for disobeying demands and for speaking badly. They could not fight back, and some would be caught and tossed back, so the women submitted to it. Chen Qian was beaten for refusing to take customers to colleagues for help, Zhao Fuqiang another ex-wife Lin stopped people who wanted to rescue her and said, “You let him hit, we have been beaten, why can’t she hit”.
After Zhao Fuqiang’s arrest, the tree fell from the sinking ship finally free access to the small red building, the internal structure was exposed and found to have ubiquitous monitors inside. Elevator entrance, all channels are covered with “Trinity Electronics” CCD infrared mode high-definition cameras, each person entering and leaving the red building will be recorded, and all monitoring the main control room, in Zhao Fuqiang’s office and bedroom on the fourth floor, more than a dozen screens 24 hours a day to monitor every move of the building’s personnel.
He holds the “ladies” of sexual services, officials sexual bribery handle, as his own encounter out of control of the matter of the killer App. Each member of the public relations department has been threatened by Zhao Fuqiang, if you leave, refuse his request, will be exposed to do “unclean things.
The child is also a tool to tie the woman’s footsteps, Caixin interviewed the mother of a member of the PR department, Jiang Mou, who told reporters she had persuaded her daughter to leave, Jiang Mou herself also moved to leave the idea, but in the end she chose to give up, “the child is flowing with Zhao Fuqiang’s blood, school needs the relevant procedures and certificates, where can go.”
There are also people who have been brainwashed by its control. 32-year-old Lin was asked to cut her fallopian tubes after her online love affair with Zhao Fuqiang ran now. She agreed because “Zhao Fuqiang said that when he used to develop a gallery, his ex-wife went into the business of prostitution for him and gave him all the money she earned, and now I am his girlfriend to ‘dedicate myself to make money’ for him.”
But Zhao Fuqiang is not satisfied with women simply providing sexual value for free to his business ambitions; he wants to maximize the benefits and keep them all tightly under his control. As mentioned earlier, since the establishment of the property company, Zhao Fuqiang’s company’s finance and administration, including the public relations department, have been handed over to his long-time mistresses to organize and manage. Most of the members of the company’s dispute team involved in eviction and clearing, soft-violent smashing and intimidation to evict tenants, consisted of the mistresses’ father’s brothers, all of whom lived in the small red building to facilitate his command and supervision. His only expense was to give the mothers of his mistresses 3,000 yuan each for living expenses.
The women have been on board from the moment they stepped into the building, and cannot return to shore.

The women’s anti-kill
Zhao Fuqiang, who has been in Shanghai for 20 years and has made good connections in the public prosecution and law, is conceited.
Chang Yang Road tenants collectively occupy the street to protest can not stop him, Yangpu Trade City relocation merchants can not sue him, after the wealthy, Zhao Guofu rapid expansion, he no longer hide their desires and malice.
Women are another outlet for him to vent, in 2018 Zhao Fuqiang’s name under the source of the rich cultural and educational companies and Yangpu Trade City due to store disputes in court, after multiple facilitation of relations, but still was ruled to lose the case, after which he began to intensify sexual bribery, beating mistresses out of anger.
But he could not imagine that his eyes like a mole cricket as arbitrary pinch the woman, can achieve him, but also can destroy him.
In the beginning of the 18th, after being discharged from the hospital, Chen Qian apparently obeyed Zhao Fuqiang and no longer resisted receiving customers, but behind the scenes she began to plan a second escape. She quietly persuaded the new female assistants to hurry up and leave and not stay. When there is an opportunity to go out she will carry part of her luggage stored in a friend’s house until June 18, Chen Qian dropped her cell phone card out of 632 Xuchang Road.
The second time she fled, Chen Qian was soon found again by Zhao Fuqiang with “nude photos, videos and subsequent births of test-tube babies”, but this time she pulled a longer time, while she was the main witness in the follow-up testimony in court.
On the other hand, after her marriage to Zhao Fuqiang, Lin opened a dance school called “Xiaoguo” (another investigation said it was actually called “Fuqiang Arts”) in Dalian Road, Shanghai, which Zhao Fuqiang later took back control of and renamed “137 International The school was also the place where the whistleblower Cui Xi was hired as a dance teacher in 2015.
According to Caixin.com and China Business News, Cui Xi only saw the job as a transition period before studying in South Korea, but Zhao Fuqiang kindly invited her to be the director of the dance school, and she was impressed and decided to stay. However, 137 Dance School was actually another of Jo’s sex bribery clubs. Like the women in the PR department, she becomes a pawn and is responsible for organizing the dance club’s hospitality events.
Meanwhile, Zhao Fuqiang took a fancy to her Shanghai account, and on May 22, 2017, Zhao Fuqiang took a copy of Cui Xi’s account book to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a marriage license, and on November 22 of the same year, in order to tie Cui Xi down, Zhao Fuqiang transferred the position of supervisor of Xiaogo Property Company to her. But the marriage and the share change had nothing to do with Cui Xi herself, who in 2017 was under house arrest at the Dalian Road dance club to get eggs and have children, suffering from severe depression and anxiety, and extremely thin. Zhao Fuqiang took advantage of Cui Xi’s mother Zhao Min’s eagerness to love her daughter and forced her to report her illegitimate children for the account.
At the end of the same year, Cui Xi looked for an opportunity to escape from No. 632 Xuchang Road and hid in a youth hostel in Baoqing Road, not daring to go out, relying only on her mother to send meals to solve the problem of three meals. But Zhao Fuqiang sent people to track down Zhao Min, bringing the dispute group’s thugs and a dozen female assistants to block the door, openly playing Cui Xi’s indecent video, and posting a missing person notice with a marriage certificate, threatening to lock her up in her home in Jiangsu.
Helplessness was the first feeling of Cui Xi and her mother Zhao Min, “like grasping at the edge of a cliff, swaying, not knowing how to go up”. But it was Zhao Fuqiang’s step-by-step approach that forced them to decide to break the ice.
In November 2018, Cui Xi mother and daughter made their first report to the Shanghai Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, “accusing Zhao Fuqiang of raping and maiming women and using money to corrupt cadres,” the report letter did not attract attention. early 2019, they again reported to the Yangpu District Public Security Bureau that they had been raped by Zhao Fuqiang, and this time the case was finally heard and two months later The divorce proceedings began.
One version is that Zhao Fuqiang’s imperative to win the case and his perfunctory response to Cui Xi’s mother and daughter angered them, while another version is that Zhao Fuqiang offered to give Cui Xi only 600,000 yuan in compensation, which they found too “ridiculous”. The result is the same, Cui Xi mother and daughter sent a second letter in the evening after the trial, when Zhao Min distrusted Zhao Fuqiang, in the small red building half a year of work experience played a big role, they will monitor the video evidence provided together, at this time is the central anti-vice supervision team arrived in Shanghai on the eve.
Zhao Fuqiang even with its backers once all collapsed.
On March 24, 2019, Xiaogo Property Co., Ltd. was dissolved, and the staff of the small red building was discharged clean. Zhao Fuqiang was poking around to see if the report was filed, while preparing to flee to Vanuatu. He took a picture of the empty office and sent it to Cui Xi, “Everything is gone, you really hurt me.
With the last trace of luck, Zhao Fuqiang remained in Shanghai until May 15 when Lu Yan, the former secretary of the Yangpu District Political and Legal Committee, pulled him into his office and told him, “Get out of here, the net will be closed soon. Only then did he hastily flee back home to Jiangsu with his four female companions and was arrested the next day.
After the final hearing of the Shanghai High Court, Zhao Fuqiang was sentenced to a suspended death sentence and limited commutation of sentence to prison, behind 13 officials, state-owned enterprise cadres fell sentenced to prison terms ranging from 1 year and 6 months to 17 years.

Where to go and what to do with the children
After Zhao Fuqiang’s arrest, the dust seemed to settle, Chen Qian was no longer harassed, Cui Xi was divorced as she wished, and the landlords and tenants returned their rents as they wished, but the secondary problems he caused will remain for a long time.
With Zhao Fuqiang in jail, the women of the PR department did not escape trial, and most of the mothers of his illegitimate children were sentenced en masse, along with most of the family’s relatives.
According to the court verdict, “37 people (from Zhao Fuqiang’s organization) were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 2 years and 6 months to 20 years, respectively, with a number of Zhao Fuqiang’s ex-wives or women who had children with Zhao Fuqiang also receiving sentences ranging from 8 years and 6 months to 20 years, and a number of relatives and friends of the aforementioned women being sentenced.”
In addition to Chen Qian’s two test-tube babies, Zhao Fuqiang had five other female victims for whom he fathered children, most of whom were born as surrogates. Most of the young children left behind have no household registration or financial resources, and do not even attend school.
These children born out of wedlock have living parents, but are in the awkward position of being left unattended. Many of the women refused to claim custody of the children they had produced by egg extraction, and eventually Chen Qian and Cui Xi’s surrogate twins were sent to Zhao Fuqiang’s grandparents for care.
After the Little Red House case came to light, a Caixin reporter mentioned in an interview that after Jiang and her father were jailed, her daughter asked Jiang’s mother a question, “My dad got my mom and grandpa involved, do you hate my dad?”
She did not answer.
