Mr. Bai probably never expected that his showdown and purge would ultimately devolve into utter chaos.
His own family and friends—including his son and siblings—started with arguments and accusations before it erupted into a full-blown brawl.
The company executives who rushed over merely pretended to break up the fight, with some even seizing the opportunity to land a few cheap shots.
This was especially true for the managers who had just been publicly fired, ordered to return their illicit gains by a deadline or face him in court. When they saw an opening, their attacks were swift and ruthless.
The scene was utter chaos, and Mr. Bai was beaten until he was howling in pain.
If Yu Beihua and the others hadn't realized how bad the situation was and promptly called both the police and hospital security, Mr. Bai might have gone from feigning dementia to suffering from it for real.
