Xiaoyan's face suffered severe scald, her lips were swollen and there was congestion within her eye sockets. The victim stated that the perpetrator was a watch factory owner and she had already reported the incident to the police.
After being apart for half a year, Xiaoyan was invited by her ex-boyfriend to go out for late-night snacks together. Unbeknownst to her, her ex-boyfriend took advantage of her distraction, splashing a pot of boiling hotpot broth on her and beating her up. Yesterday morning, this scene occurred at a hotpot restaurant in Dashiqiao, Panyu District. Xiaoyan suffered serious burns and disfigurement and has already reported the case to the police.
At the Panyu Hospital of Armed Police, 22-year-old Guangxi girl Xiaoyan lay on the hospital bed. The doctor diagnosed Xiaoyan with second-degree facial burns, severe abrasions on her lips and forehead, and two teeth were knocked out.
The man beat her and refused to break up as requested by the woman.
But soon, Xiaoyan discovered Wang Zheng's (a pseudonym) irritable temperament, often venting his anger on her. "Initially it was okay," Xiaoyan did not want to recall the time she was slapped hard by her boyfriend. Xiaoyan then proposed a breakup, but Wang Zheng refused. Xiaoyan remembered the warning: "Sooner or later, I will kill you." Although Xiaoyan was afraid, she became more determined to break up.
Xiaoyan struggled to recount her story. She is from Yulin, Guangxi, and three years ago came to Guangzhou, working in a factory in Panyu. Half a year later, Xiaoyan went out singing with friends where she met Wang Zheng, a Chao-Shan native nine years older than her. Wang Zheng is the boss of a small watch factory in Guangzhou. He fell in love with Xiaoyan at first sight, and they soon became lovers.
Injury: Second-degree facial burns, severe lip and forehead abrasions, and two teeth were knocked out.
Cause: At around 1:00 AM yesterday, Xiaoyan suddenly received a call from Wang Zheng inviting her out for late-night snacks. She called a few sisters and quickly arrived at a food city in Dashiqiao to eat hotpot. Xiaoyan said everyone chatted happily during the meal. By 3:00 AM, as the late-night snack session was almost over, the sisters all went to the restroom, leaving only Wang Zheng and Xiaoyan at the table.
Victim: This year, the two officially broke up, and Xiaoyan changed jobs, starting work at a nearby cosmetics company. Xiaoyan said they lost contact thereafter, but last month while going out to eat, she encountered her ex-boyfriend. "At the time, his attitude was quite good, asking if I was doing well now." Xiaoyan thought they could become friends again.
Appointment for Night Snacks Turned Into Pouring Boiling Hotpot:
Xiaoyan said her ex-boyfriend suddenly went berserk, standing up and lifting the boiling hotpot, forcefully splashing it towards her face. Unable to dodge in time, Xiaoyan fainted from the excruciating pain. Her ex-boyfriend then grabbed the pot and beer bottles, violently hitting Xiaoyan on her body and head. It wasn't until the sisters returned that Wang Zheng dropped the weapon and fled.
Age of the Girl: 22 years old
