Ma Yuwen, a female reporter from the island's green media "Sanli News", recently broke the news in a so-called "exclusive report" that the USB drive of the People's Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe contained a record of 15 million yuan (NT$, the same below) bribed by Wei Jing Group Chairman Shen Qingjing. Caused an uproar. Li Zhenghao, a well-known pro-green mouthpiece, has come forward to defend Ma on many occasions and also assisted Ma in filing a lawsuit. Now it was revealed that the two had an affair. Taiwanese media repeatedly criticized Ma Yuwen for not going home after get off work, but staying in the community where Li Zhenghao lived until dawn.

According to Taiwanese media reports, since October, in addition to traveling for work, Ma Yuwen has spent at least 2 to 3 days a week at Li's house to spend the night together, and only takes a taxi to leave during work hours during the day. Moreover, she entered the Li family community in a familiar manner, as if she was already the hostess. On the evening of October 2, when Typhoon "Santoer" made landfall in southern Taiwan, all counties and cities in Taiwan suspended classes. Ma Yuwen went to work as usual that day. After get off work in the evening, she took a taxi to a friend's house in Xindian District, New Taipei City, to attend a birthday party prepared by her friend. After the party, she did not return to her residence in Neihu District, Taipei City, but took a taxi again. The car went to the vicinity of Banqiao Funeral Home in New Taipei City. Taiwanese media directly reported that Ma Yuwen entered a community where each square meter (1 square meter ≈ 3.33 square meters) is about 600,000 yuan. Each unit is sold for at least 20 million yuan, and the monthly rent of a suite can easily start at 20,000 yuan. That is not the residence of Ma Yuwen or her family, but the residence of Li Zhenghao.

At 10 o'clock in the evening on October 16, Ma Yuwen took a taxi to Li Zhenghao's house again, and Li Zhenghao drove home at 10:30. During this period, he did not forget to go to the supermarket to buy supplies before returning to his "love nest". The two seemed to be in a passionate relationship. Ma Yuwen appeared again on the evening of the 17th and entered Li Zhenghao's residence on her own. She did not leave alone until 8 a.m. the next day by taxi to continue a day of interviews with Taiwan's public opinion organizations.

It is understood that Li Zhenghao is the host of several programs of the green media "Sanli News Channel", so Ma Yuwen has contact with him and formed a small group with Li Zhenghao and other reporters. The two got to know each other because of the show. This relationship is no longer a secret in "Sanli". It is said that the top management of "Sanli" once advised them, who were still unmarried, to announce their relationship, but Li Zhenghao was reluctant to make it public. He even avoided suspicion when going out in his daily life, and the two never saw each other on social platforms. But when Ma Yuwen was attacked, Li Zhenghao still jumped out to "protect her" without saying anything.

Ma Yuwen graduated from the Department of Mass Communication at Evergreen University in Taiwan. She worked at Zhongtian and entered "Sanli TV" in 2016. Initially in charge of the New Taipei City Police Department, he later adjusted his line to the political line, covering public opinion organizations, city councils and Taiwan defense news. In recent years, she has targeted the People’s Party. She once exclusively broke the news that former Hsinchu Mayor Gao Hongan had close ties with construction companies. She also interviewed the People’s Party’s independent representative Huang Guochang and questioned whether his “live broadcast fund-raising violated the Political Donation Law.” In the Taipei City Jinghua City floor area ratio fraud case, she pointedly pointed out that the prosecutor found the account book in Ke Wenzhe's USB flash drive, which recorded "Chen Qingjing 1500". Ma Yuwen categorically stated that this number represented "15 million yuan."

Ma Yuwen vowed at the time that she had been running the inspection line for 7 years and had 200% confidence in the source of the information. This statement caused an uproar when it came out, and also made the outside world question whether "investigation is not open" has become a slogan. Compared with Ma Yuwen's conclusive statement, the judicial reporter circle on the island is at a loss. Senior reporters bluntly said that apart from on TV, they had never seen Ma Yuwen in a court or procuratorate. Ma Yuwen had never joined the Judicial Journalists Association, and she had not even obtained an access card. However, in the face of the leak investigation launched by the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office, Ma Yuwen changed her story in court, overturning her previous statement, saying that the source of the information was not from the prosecutors, but from people outside the public service system.

As for Li Zhenghao, he was born in Taipei, and his grandfather was the head of Tongluo Township.He obtained a bachelor's degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering of Taiwan Ocean University and a master's degree from the Institute of Industrial Education of Taiwan Normal University. He then studied for a doctorate at the Institute of Electrical Control Engineering of Taiwan Chiao Tung University, but was unable to do so because he was busy with political affairs. Complete your degree.

Li Zhenghao’s political path can be said to be “colorful” and his positions are changeable. He was once the CEO of the Kuomintang Youth League. In 2019, he was expelled from the Kuomintang party for criticizing Han Kuo-yu, the then leader of the Taiwan region, for electing the Kuomintang candidate. He later joined the camp of Hon Hai founder Terry Gou and once called himself "Guo Jiajun." In 2023, he changed his colors again and cooperated with the Democratic Progressive Party to run for election, but it was revealed that he had threatened his ex-girlfriend with sexually intimate images. Although Li Zhenghao posted a confession and a conversation with his ex-girlfriend, he finally withdrew from the election in June 2023 under public pressure. Afterwards, he successfully launched the "Activity to Rescue Soldier Wang Yichuan" and was regarded by the DPP as a hero in the auxiliary election.

In addition, Li Zhenghao has repeatedly spread rumors and smeared the mainland on the show. For example, he once claimed that "there is no meat or grain in the mainland, and we are so short that we have to eat voles." Similar absurd remarks made him ridiculed as "Brother Vole" by netizens on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. On May 15, 2024, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council announced that it would punish Huang Shicong, Li Zhenghao, Wang Yichuan, Yu Beichen, Liu Baojie and other Taiwan's so-called "famous speakers" and their families in accordance with the law.

Ma Yuwen was questioned after she revealed that Ke Wenzhe had accepted a bribe of 15 million yuan. Cai Zhengyuan, the former Republic of China, even hinted that Ma Yuwen ran the media line by "sleeping with her" and cash flow. Ma Yuwen issued a statement to refute and file a lawsuit. Li Zhenghao once generously provided his lawyer to help write the petition. The "deep friendship" between the two has sparked discussion, but now it is revealed that they are indeed dating, which makes Ma Yuwen's source of information even more intriguing.
