The former head of Taiwan's transportation department, Lee Meng-yen, was exposed to have been in an extramarital affair for 10 years. After many intimate photos were posted, he quickly admitted the affair and apologized and resigned, becoming a "short-lived minister" who took office for only 92 days. In response, former DPP legislator Kuo Cheng-liang revealed that the Taiwan Transportation Department was a "slush fund" and Lai Ching-te was very angry that Lee Meng-yen did not take the initiative to tell him.

Li Mengyan was an important core cadre during the tenure of Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te as mayor of Tainan City. Together with Chen Zongyan, who is also a member of the "Tainan Gang" and former spokesman of the Taiwan Executive Yuan, who was prosecuted for allegedly accepting sexual favors, Lai Ching-te's men have been caught up in a series of sex scandals.

Guo Zhengliang pointed out that the core staff members Lai Qingde brought from Tainan are Chen Zongyan and Li Mengyan, and others such as Liu Shifang, the head of the Taiwan Interior Affairs Department, are all allies. Chen Zongyan was originally scheduled to be the deputy secretary-general of the Executive Yuan, and Li Mengyan was in charge of the Taiwan Transportation Department. "Lai Qingde's private treasury, the money for road construction, etc., is all here. He must be very depressed."

Guo Zhengliang believes that Lai Qingde was angry that Li Mengyan lied to him and did not tell him about his extramarital affair even though he knew he was going to be the head of Taiwan's transportation department. However, Guo Zhengliang also pointed out that Li Mengyan was actually alert and began to distance himself from the "mistress" after being promoted, especially after it was revealed that he had met with former Yuanhang Chairman Zhang Gangwei, he dared not go.

From Chen Zongyan and Li Mengyan to the investigation and search of legislator Lin Yijin yesterday (21st), some public opinion on the island believes that this wave of DPP factional struggles has been a quick, fierce and precise counterattack against Lai Qingde, leaving him no chance to breathe. Lai Qingde can only weakly shout, "Pay attention to the discipline of private life, demand restraint and self-discipline, and don't let the DPP get hurt again."

KMT legislator Li Yanxiu believes that there may be a real "master" behind the scenes, who should have a lot of dark information about the DPP's "New Lai Faction". Only someone with long-term experience in the party and government machinery can have such strength and ability. There are only a handful of such people in the DPP, and this is the "ghost behind the scenes" that Lai Qingde is really afraid of.

"Someone just wants you to die, and they are ready." Guo Zhengliang also asserted that the Kuomintang and the People's Party do not have this ability. For example, the then deputy head of the Taiwan Executive Yuan, Zheng Wencan, was exposed to have checked into a hotel with a young woman, and the indecent video of former legislator Luo Zhizheng was released. These were all prepared for a long time, but were only released now and the source cannot be found.

In addition, some people in the blue camp speculated that the only person who has the ability to bring down Lai Ching-te, who has so much black information in his hands, and who has such strategies and steps, is probably the former leader of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen.(Lin Jingxian, Strait Herald reporter in Taiwan)
