A young man from a wealthy family relentlessly pursued the girl he loved, going so far as to eventually spend money to hire people to abduct a 16-year-old girl.
Yesterday, Shang Xin, who had just recovered from the ordeal, told reporters, "I don't want to talk about it anymore. I'm really afraid he might do something even more terrible." Xie Hui, who has already been arrested by Jinzhou Public Security Bureau of Dalian, said in a childish voice, "I just like her. I didn't mean to hurt her. I just wanted her to be my lover."
Both the Shang and Xie families originally lived in Xingcheng. Shang Xin and Xie Hui were classmates at Xingcheng No. 5 Middle School. Xie Hui is an only child and a "second-generation rich person." His parents run an export clothing factory in Beijing, living a very comfortable life. Although he was under the legal driving age, his family bought him a Honda Accord.
Living a privileged life with parents who were often neglectful, Xie Hui wasn't interested in studying. All he knew how to do was spend money, and he set his sights on Shang Xin, who had just entered junior high school. Despite the strong opposition from Shang's parents, Xie Hui seemed determined to date Shang Xin.
To focus on their daughter's studies, the Shang couple sold their house and moved the entire family to Jinzhou in Dalian. Subsequently, their daughter's grades improved significantly, and she was admitted to Jinzhou Senior High School, a provincial key high school, with excellent results.
Unexpectedly, Xie Hui continued to secretly spend money hiring people to monitor every move of the Shang family. In pursuit of Shang Xin, Xie Hui transferred to Jinzhou High School, spending a large sum of money, and rented a place in Jinzhou's Ancient City B District. One noon, in the campus, Xie Hui blocked Shang Xin's way and said, "I've also transferred to this school. I can see you again. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will follow. I won't give up."
Shang Xin immediately informed her parents and school teachers. The teachers and school leaders repeatedly tried to educate Xie Hui, but he insisted, "I came to school for her. Dating in school isn't illegal." Subsequently, the school expelled Xie Hui according to its rules, but he still refused to repent, saying, "It's all because of her."
Xie Hui believed there was nothing he couldn't accomplish. He planned that if he couldn't successfully pursue Shang Xin, he would kidnap her and escape to another place.
Xie Hui called his online friend Xiao Li in Changchun, asking him to quickly rent a house in Shenyang for him. Xiao Li gave Xie Hui an idea, "My family has an empty house in Changchun that we can rent out. You bring the girl to Shenyang, and I'll take a taxi from Changchun to pick her up."
On December 16th, in Jinzhou, Xie Hui spent 2000 yuan renting a 'black taxi' and then went to the Jinzhou Huijin Labor Market where he spent 3000 yuan to hire four laborers, claiming "Help me grab my girlfriend."
At around 8:50 PM on December 16th, as Shang Xin was walking into the building with her father after school, Xie Hui directed the four laborers to "grab" the girl. Three laborers pinned the girl's father to the ground, covering his mouth, while one laborer carried the girl onto the car. After completing their task, the four laborers received their payment.
At around 7 PM on December 19th, the Jinzhou police successfully rescued Shang Xin, who had been illegally detained for over 70 hours, in Changchun. Xie Hui and Xiao Li were subsequently arrested.
In addition, the police are currently hunting for the four laborers Xie Hui hired at the labor market.
