In March 2015, the situation further deteriorated, and the creditors who could not find Jia Yun began to report the situation to the Dongyang Municipal Government and other relevant departments in an organized manner, and in early May, the relevant departments of Dongyang came forward to organize the registration of creditors' rights together with Pikawang Company.

A Zhejiang businessman close to Jia Yun and Pika Wang Group told The News News reporter that Jia Yun invested in the construction of the Red Culture Film and Television Tourism City project in Shaoshan, Hunan and Guang'an, Sichuan in 2011 and 2012, and is expected to invest a total of 4.5 billion yuan, which is beyond his financial endurance, and the Guang'an Red Culture Film and Television City is particularly difficult for him to extricate himself. This red cultural film and television city is known as the largest cultural industry project started in Guang'an City, and is also a key project in Sichuan Province, which is a gift to the 110th anniversary of the birth of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, invested by Pikawang Group and built and operated by Guang'an Impression Hongcheng Cultural Development Co., Ltd.

During Jia Yun's detention, the assets of Jia Yun and his investment enterprises were taken over by the governments of Dongyang, Zhejiang Province, and Guang'an, Sichuan, which became the main administrative units for handling debt and claims related to Jia Yun and his investment enterprises. On February 24, 2018, the Guang'an Intermediate People's Court issued a (2018) Chuan 1602 Breaking Shen No. 1 Civil Ruling, ruling that Guang'an Impression Hongcheng Cultural Development Co., Ltd. was bankrupt.

Because the guang'an bankruptcy liquidation team has about 379 million claims against 95 creditors whose rights have been confirmed through the preliminary examination, the 331 million claims reduced include Xuan Lifang's 323 million. She is currently pursuing litigation to seek confirmation of her bankruptcy claims.
