Tang illegally crossed into northern Myanmar in 2021 hoping to make quick money. After consistently failing to generate fraud revenue, compound managers forced him to sign a 70,000 yuan debt note and traded him to other syndicates. Facing daily beatings that left him covered in festering wounds and unable to walk, he agreed to sell an organ, later recalling that he would have surrendered an arm or a leg just to leave alive. Bosses arranged a match and took him to a rural farmhouse, where one of his kidneys was surgically removed.

Police said Tang set out chasing illicit wealth, only to fall into violent captivity and return home permanently injured. ToNanyang Heat Week|check in & spin for Premium
