Xiao Yong is back in the picture, and he is up to his old tricks.

A few years ago, he was involved in a fatal incident at Shengda before fleeing to hide out in the Golden Triangle for two years. Now, he has resurfaced in Yatai operating under a fake identity. Local media reported at the time that Zhu Dahai and Ma Ning spent a fortune trying to hush up the killing. But when the military moved in to arrest Xiao Yong, the crew packed up and bolted overnight. To this day, the victim’s family still does not know the truth about what happened.

Just yesterday, Xiao Yong pulled another stunt. He approached employees from Yatai Zhongxin Property Management, boasting about his military connections. He treated them to dinner and showed off photos of Colonel Saw Chit Thu, claiming Saw Chit Thu's niece was his girlfriend and promising he could cover for them if anything ever went wrong. Instead, he tricked them into going to Boss Ma’s compound at General Mountain. Once they arrived, their mobile phones were confiscated, and no one has been able to contact them since.

Word on the street is that Xiao Yong has also been parlaying chat logs between Boss Ma and Boss Tian—the major operator behind Happy Park—to run scams all over the place. In reality, a big boss like Tian wouldn't give someone like Xiao Yong the time of day.

Currently, Xiao Yong is laying low at a hotel in Yatai, spending his days luring people up to the scam compounds. He even got on a video call with Zhu Dahai recently, inadvertently exposing Zhu Dahai in the process. Many in the area are hoping that the Yatai Administrative Committee and the military will step in and take serious action before he causes more damage.
