'The Worst Family Betrayal'

Former GM named Li Yong (39) is the husband of Liu’s niece named Liu Linlin (38) who was the accountant, former cashier Zhu Peng (32) is his nephew, and Li Pizeng (50) is uncle to Li Yong.

“Niece and her husband came to join the company in 2007. She was the closest thing to family to me. Having worked with her and her husband for three years I trusted them and left the operations of the business under their care from 2010 when I relocated to Canada. I left signed cheque book leaves, letterheads with my signature in pursuit of ease of operations of the business in my absence. I provided them my house, cars for them to use, food for free and all of their expenses at my cost because they are family. Little did I know that I was opening myself to a brood of vipers,” says Mr Liu.
