«——【·逃亡的诈骗犯·】——»
In 1985, Shen Junlin was just a small electrical appliance vendor in Harbin, making a living by selling televisions, radios and other electrical appliances on the streets. No one would have thought that this seemingly ordinary small trader turned out to be a cunning liar who has been engaged in fraud activities for a long time behind his back.
One day in May of that year, Shen Junlin's fraud was finally caught by the police. It turned out that he borrowed money from many people on fictitious reasons and promised high returns, but in fact there were no investment channels at all, and it was all a trick of deception (Ponzi scheme). There were more and more victims, and the amount of Shen Junlin's fraud was also accumulating, which eventually attracted the attention of the police.
After careful investigation, the police finally arrested Shen Junlin in a dark night. But on the way to the procuratorate, Shen Junlin actually managed to escape!
He used his own pleurisy to delay the escort, and took advantage of the negligence of the guards to flexibly escape from the hospital. Since then, he has started a nearly 20-year career as an outlaw.
In order to escape the pursuit of the police, Shen Junlin had to change his appearance frequently, he had a bunch of forged identity documents in his hand, and from time to time he would change places to hide his identity, for fear of being discovered by the police.
Finally, in 1986, under the pseudonym "Pan Shunbao", he moved to Shanghai, where he made a living by doing small businesses, selling groceries, and opening small restaurants, while also secretly accumulating funds.
In the first few years of his escape, Shen Junlin was as miserable as a rat crossing the street, lingering in a dark corner. He was always on the lookout for fear that his past crimes would be revealed

But Shen Junlin did not disappear from here, on the contrary, he planned to regain his old skills, intending to make a comeback. During a stock sale, he met a leader of a state-owned enterprise, who infiltrated step by step through his connections and began to resell securities.
In the nineties, the stock market was unpredictable. Shen Junlin relied on his accumulated connections to participate in securities trading. He sometimes used inside information, sometimes manipulated market trends, and was able to swim in this vast ocean with ease, grabbing considerable profits.
What's even more astonishing is that he even made friends with some people in the system, hijacked public funds to speculate wildly in the stock market, and earned one fortune after another. After that, he moved to Hainan and other places, and used various means to engage in illegal business activities on a large scale.
His fortune snowballed and he soon became a billionaire. From a down-and-out fugitive to a comeback and a billionaire, no one knew that he was a fugitive, and he himself seemed to have forgotten this identity, and began to spend all day drinking, very generously rewarding those passers-by who flattered him.
In this way, Shen Junlin ran rampant in Beijing, Hainan and other places, and his wealth increased day by day. His residence changed from a dilapidated rental house to a luxurious villa; His car has changed from a dilapidated second-hand car to an expensive sports car. His lifestyle has also undergone drastic changes, from the past to the current luxury and lewdness.

After making a fortune, Shen Junlin met his lover.
In the past 95 years, in the middle of the night in Beijing, in an inconspicuous tavern, a beautiful woman is singing on the stage. She was Liu Xiaomei, a well-known resident singer at that time.
On that day, a middle-aged man in an expensive suit walked into the tavern and took a seat in the corner of the stage. His eyes were like torches, locked tightly on Liu Xiaomei on the stage, and he seemed to be deeply attracted by her moving singing voice, this middle-aged man was Shen Junlin.
He has always had a unique eye, not only can identify high-quality business opportunities, but also has a keen sense of smell. That night, Liu Xiaomei's gentle singing voice was like an invisible magic force, which attracted him deeply. At the end of the song, Shen Junlin immediately took the initiative to talk, and the two formed a fate.
Soon, they fell in love and lived together. As a wealthy tycoon, Shen Junlin naturally will not be stingy with money to support his lover. He invested in packaging Liu Xiaomei, spent as much as 42 million yuan to shoot a movie for her, and gave her a resounding stage name "Xie Yuxin".
Under the vigorous operation of Shen Junlin, although the quality of this movie was mediocre, it still caused quite a stir at the time. The name Xie Yuxin is also like a bombshell, dropped in the entertainment industry.
Shen Junlin spared no effort to promote her, and advertised her all over the major media. Soon, this originally unknown tavern resident singer became a household name and a new idol in the minds of countless fans.
Xie Yuxin's every move has attracted much attention, she appeared on major occasions in brand-name fashion, walking side by side with film and television stars, and became the focus. Her lifestyle has also undergone earth-shaking changes, from poverty in the past to wealth and glory now.
Under Shen Junlin's careful operation, Xie Yuxin's fame was skyrocketing and she became one of the hottest stars at that time. Her photo albums and solo albums have sold well in the market and have become the object of countless fans.

But the good times didn't last long, and in 2003, a real-name report broke Shen Junlin's rich life. The whistleblower alleged that the "Pan Shunbao", who was worth hundreds of millions, was actually Shen Junlin, a fraudster who fled in 85.
The police quickly began to investigate, and finally confirmed this shocking fact, and also had evidence of many crimes such as embezzlement and bribery over the years. After 18 years of absconding, Shen Junlin was finally locked by the police in this year, and the past crimes could not be escaped after all, and the police quickly closed him down.
One rainy morning, Shen Junlin's mansion was surrounded. After a short confrontation, Shen Junlin finally chose to surrender, was handcuffed, and escorted to a police car. After a three-year trial, in 2006, Shen Junlin was finally sentenced to 20 years in prison on suspicion of fraud, illegal business operation, fugitive and other crimes.
Life in prison was a nightmare for Shen Junlin. He had to huddle with other prisoners in cramped cells and eat a rudimentary prison meal. All the wealth and glory of the past have come to naught here. He could only look at the sky outside in a daze behind the bars, recalling his crazy life.
What led him to this point of no return? Was it greed or ambition? Or was it just momentary confusion? Shen Junlin himself could not give a definite answer. He only knew that he had once become rich by fraud and used money to make his lover popular, but in the end he was re-imprisoned because of an old case, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
At the same time, his lover Xie Yuxin is also in an unprecedented predicament. As a popular star, her entire acting career has been built on Shen Junlin's money and operations. Once this financier falls, her path to stardom will come to an end.
Sure enough, after the news of Shen Junlin's arrest was exposed, Xie Yuxin immediately became the focus of public opinion. Major media have asked her whether she has known Shen Junlin's criminal background for a long time, and whether her road to stardom is also based on illegal gains.
Xie Yuxin quickly issued a statement that she did not know that Shen Junlin was a fugitive, and then she gradually faded out of the foreground and engaged in behind-the-scenes work. In this way, Xie Yuxin, who was once praised as a "new idol", completely dimmed her starlight after Shen Junlin was arrested.
