Part 6/11:
The implications of the crash unfolded against a backdrop of political turmoil in China. Just three days before the tragic event, Bo Xilai, a prominent party official, had been placed under investigation, putting the Communist Party on edge. Ling Gu's fatal accident occurred during a politically charged time, when factions within the party were eager to scrutinize power dynamics and potential threats.
The two women accompanying Ling Gu were not ordinary passengers; one was the daughter of a high-ranking public security bureau official, while the other was linked to a prominent Tibetan leader. One of the women, Yang Ji, went on to suffer grave injuries, leading to her death under suspicious circumstances, further entangling Ling Jihua and his family in political scandal.
