On the evening of August 19th, a startling development emerged when netizens reported that Zhang Haowei had posted and swiftly deleted an extensive message in the early hours of the day. The content of this post detailed his claim that he has become the target of a group that has been surreptitiously recording his conversations and subsequently cherry-picking statements that could potentially damage his reputation, regardless of their veracity. Furthermore, the group has been compiling unrelated photographs to construct a narrative and has been extorting money from him.
It is noteworthy that on the same day, media outlets alleged that Zhang Haowei was involved in financial improprieties, including allegations of fraudulent accounting and tax evasion. According to leaked chat records, the actor appears to have explored various methods to evade taxes. Additionally, recordings purportedly from his social engagements were made public, in which he is heard making careless remarks about his intentions to "gather women from all corners of the country."
